krb5-libs & krb5-devel
by Matt Jones
Hi -
I upgraded from redhat 9 to rawhide a while back, and everything has
been going fine. Except, krb5-libs and -devel have been showing up in my
un-upgradable apt-get upgrade list for some time. Whenever I attempt to
install them my system gets hosed (it tries to uninstall nearly
everthing). Everything that depends on krb5-libs works, but nothing that
depends on it to compile can compile (i get all kinds of missing
symbols).
If I manually upgrade (rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps krb5-libs.rpm
krb5-devel.rpm) the system dies (rpm stops working etc.). I don't want
to go through a complete reinstall again,so I wanted to ask the list
first - is it possible to parallel install krb5-libs 1.2.8-4 and the
newest version? Will programs that depend on either break?
All of the packages depend upon libcom_err.so.3, but all I can find
mention of is libcom_err.so.2 (.3 is provided by krb5-libs 1.2.8-4, .2
is provided by 1.3.1-6)
Should I just reinstall from rawhide (from scratch) and hope it all goes
away? (everything else is up-to-date as of this point in time)
Thanks

Translation in French
by Alain
Hello,
We'd like to create a website and a mailing list in french about Fedora.
Is there anyone who has already began to translate it ?
How can we manage: should we make an indipendant site or send you the
translated pages ? (We already have a spaceweb for this :
fedora.tuxfamily.org)
Friendly yours.
Colette and Alain.

Fedora on PPC
by Paul Nasrat
I've got a very minimal install of Fedora on PPC (ibook2) working over
the weekend.
Main gotcha other than kernel packages was the mkinitrd from ppc rawhide
repo required ppc64-utils - I assume that the conditional in mknitrd
should be ifarch ppc64?
I hope to get anaconda-runtime and anaconda on sometime this week and
build iso images.

Yes.
But take a look at www.fedora.us. I Believe someone already packaged

xchat updated to be exec-shield friendly
by Mike A. Harris
xchat contains a small amount of assembler, the short story of
which causes it to not be exec-shield friendly. If exec-shield
is enabled on one's system, xchat will run with it disabled.
Since it is much preferable for any networked software to benefit
from the type of security benefits that exec-shield provides,
Arjan discovered this problem and wrote a small patch to make
xchat exec-shield friendly.
Arjan's patch is currently applied to xchat-2.0.4-4 which is in
internal rawhide, and hopefully will be pushed out soon.
Please test this heavily with and without exec-shield enabled.
Please file any regressions in bugzilla.
