GUI xml-rpc bugzilla tool
by Alexander Larsson
A couple of weeks ago jrb and I spent some time writing a GUI (pygtk)
frontend to the redhat bugzilla xml-rpc interfaces. It does local
caching of bug data, so after a possibly slow initial query bug work is
really fast.
Packages availible at:
http://people.redhat.com/~jrb/files/bugtool-0.1-1.noarch.rpm
http://people.redhat.com/~jrb/files/bugtool-0.1-1.src.rpm
At the moment you can only view bugs and add comments. The tool is
clearly not finished yet, but might still be of use to peopl.

New locale for Norwegian bokmål
by Kjartan Maraas
Hi.
We've had a report in bugzilla for some time now where we request a new
locale being added for Norwegian bokmål. We currently have no_NO which
is being replaced with nb_NO. The bugreport is here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=83276
Any chance of getting this in during this cycle so I can start moving
the translations to nb_NO as soon as possible? I'd appreciate help with
renaming the files in CVS as well to ease the transition.
Cheers

creating kernel-source rpm?
by Jeff Johnson
Greetings,
I am building custom kernel rpms using the kernel-src rpm. I have added
patches, edited the spec file and am able to make i686 kernel rpms with
no problems. I am unable to discover how to create the corresponding
kernel-source rpm to the i686 version built. For my purposes I need to
create both.
If I do (from /usr/src/redhat)
rpmbuild -ba --target=i686 SPECS/mykernel.spec
I get RPMS/i686/kernel-mykernel-i686.rpm
SRPMS/kernel-mykernel-src.rpm
Can anyone tell me how the corresponding kernel-source-mykernel.rpm can
be generated?
Thanks!
Jeff

Developer's Guide
by Roozbeh Pournader
Attached is a suggested patch for the Developer's Guide document,
against the current version in CVS.
One issue I didn't patch, is that 'epoch' is never explained in the
document, although it's referenced twice. It certainly needs to be
written about, since there are people who don't know what it is (I
didn't).
Changes are:
1. Fixed a typo in the legal notice.
2. Explained that anonymous access, as specified in the CVS guidelines,
is not enough for changing the files on the server.
3. Mentioned that the Guidelines on RPM should be used as a checklist
(almost all of its items were already explained elsewhere).
4. Mentioned that 'all' of the criteria should be met for a Beta
Exception (was I right?)

fedora only for US users ?
by Cosmic Flo
this message is a little hard but :
- at first time wizard, keyboard configuration is US, not the selected
language at install.
- mozilla is only configured for US (language for web page, interface), the
selected language at install have no importance.
- evolution's meteo is Boston US, I have selected an other city in Europe.
- the fedora.redhat.com web site (presentation, pages, documentation) is
only in English language, I have made some propositions to translate it but
no translation project have started.
I think that now the fedora project is more open to community, it's time to
really open it to all languages.

Any ideas? Should I bug a report?
20 years, 5 months
I volunteer
by Jack Neely
Folks,
I volunteer.
First off, I am the Linux guy at NC State University. I maintain a Red
Hat based distribution called Realm Linux (http://linux.ncsu.edu) along
with large Beowulf clusters and all the meetings and mess to spear head
a Linux movement at NCSU.
I can be found on irc.freenode.net as slack.
What I am interested in:
LPRng - NCSU can't use Cups until me or someone else has the time to
make cups use kerberos authentication. I'm thinking this will appear in
Alternatives RSN but I'll keep an eye out for it.
OpenAFS - I maintain some pretty decent OpenAFS packages that I like a
lot more than the RPMs from upstream. Mine are FHS compliant, and build
kernel modules properly. I would even volunteer to maintain OpenAFS
packages for the community. However, I need some help to figure out how
a default configuration should work and how site specific configuration
should be done. Namely, each site must specify what AFS cell they are
in and probably wish to make changes to the list of cells that the
client can see. Also I would be willing to maintain an aklog package
since 1) it doesn't change much and 2) I assume that most folks (I am)
are using MIT kerberos with OpenAFS.
18 month lifetime - I need an 18 month or longer lifetime. Looks like this is
where Fedora Legacy comes in to play. I've been talking with several
people along the same lines. I'm fortunate in that I've gotten most
things taken care of to the point that I'll only need to support RHL 9
and greater past Red Hat's EOL date. Although, I think I may have a
couple 7.3 servers to take care of (binary Promise RAID drivers). I'd
like to do what I can to help form the Fedora Legacy part of the
project.

I'd be very sad if this happend. We use ldap/kerberos at our office,
and we really should have no need for RHEL to do that.
I'd rather encourage the oposite. Intergrate kerberos/ldap everywhere,
make it friendly, and a linux native alternative to active directory.

grub.conf, please?
by Chris Wilson
Could someone kindly sed me their grub.conf file?
I made a booboo and installed a redhat test kernel rpm and when
uninstalling it I got this msg:
grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
I got the same error when yumming the original kernel back in.
thanks,
chris
PS: Where can I find a fedora 2.6 test kernel?
