python 2.3 fixed packages
by Tom Callaway
Those annoying failed dependencies are annoying, aren't they? I took
some time this morning and patched everything that was still broken when
python 2.3 got merged into rawhide. I'm not promising I got all the bugs
out, but it should help people get over the dependencies and back to
testing.
RPMs and SRPMs live here:
http://people.redhat.com/tcallawa/python23/
It's even Yum-ified. :)
I'm going to file the bugzilla entries with the patches this afternoon.

Re: Some fedora devel inconsistencies...
by Mike Chambers
Ok, now that this has been talked about for a bit...
Sooo, what exactly is happening or going to happen with these python2.2
errors? Are we waiting for that package to be created and populated
into rawhide so that the other packages can then be upgraded/installed
onto Fedora systems or what?

Proposals for the Updates Testing Procedure
by Warren Togami
I am glad to see many test updates being announced on fedora-test-list,
but may I please suggest some improvements to this mechanism. We also
need to discuss the eventual creation of policy for the update approval
process.
Along with each announced test update, I believe it would be crucial to
include a link to a corresponding Bugzilla report. While longer
discussions pertaining to packages can remain on fedora-test-list, all
pertinent information should be posted in one place within that test
update's Bugzilla report. Why?
* Otherwise it is likely that other Bugzilla reports and important
information related to an update could easily be lost in the mailing
list noise.
* All pending updates can easily be found by a single Bugzilla database
query.
* Each report would become a one-stop-shop for information regarding
that update. More responsible sysadmins with proper testing procedures
can read that report to help in their decision to update.
Discussion of the Update Approval Process
=========================================
We also have not yet discussed the fedora.redhat.com update approval
process. I suggest the following to begin the necessary discussion.
Some of the below are similar in concept to the procedures currently
being used successfully at fedora.us as described in this document:
http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageSubmissionQAPolicy
* Backport Patches v. Upgrade Version
Most libraries, core system and server packages should always have
backport patches. End-user applications where other packages do not
depend on them can possibly be upgraded in version after sufficient
testing in updates-testing. There are always possible exceptions to the
rule, although the determination of backport verses upgrade version will
need to be decided on a case-by-case basis based upon how intrusive the
change would be. (Yeah this description sucks. Reply with a better and
expanded proposal if you care about this.)
* Time-limit to publish where no negative comments are posted within the
Bugzilla report. Senior developers reserve the right to hold an update
if a good technical reason can be stated. (Insert more details here.)
* GPG clearsigned messages of approval
For the test update approval process, a sizable number of people who
matter (this needs further discussion) should post GPG clearsigned
messages of approval to the Bugzilla report for the pending update
currently in testing. Such messages should be posted if they
technically agree with the patch/upgrade, and they have fully tested the
functionality of the updated binary RPM and are satisfied that it is
better than the previous package. Otherwise dissenting messages about
functionality brokenness or suggestions for further package improvement
are posted.
http://www.fedora.us/wiki/QAChecklist
There should be a checklist similar to this one used at fedora.us that
contributors must go through and say "Passes all checklist items."
within their report. This checklist idea has successfully prevented
many common problems from being published in fedora.us. Depending on
the criticalness of the update, the release managers decide when it is
the appropriate time to publish based upon proper & signed contributor
feedback.
Before judging the above to be too an "onerous waste of time" as is the
reaction that many people have, do know that this type of process has
worked well at fedora.us during this year. This fedora.us report below
is a great example of this type of process in action:
https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=669
Well... something like this report, except a Fedora Core update would
have fewer package updates during the approval process, and far more
users saying "gcc-3.3.2-2 works for me". (It is important that
clearsigned messages contain unique identifiers like the full package
name-version-release because messages like "works for me" alone can be
abused through a replay attack.)
Why GPG? Wouldn't that be slow and a waste of time?
====================================================
No. The GPG clearsigned messages over time that collect within many
reports and mailing list posts help to build a mass of "historical
evidence" about the reliability and trustability of the advice given by
a contributor. Over time this actually improves the efficiency of
communication in a massively distributed project like one we are trying
to create because of the following reasons.
1. Developers and users have a way to quickly search a history of a
contributor's posts and contributions. That person may then quickly
form an opinion about the skill level or reliability of the advice giver.
2. GPG signatures make it a lot more likely that the message came from
the signer... the actual user holding the key. If that key is ever
stolen, it would likely be discovered soon enough by other developers or
the key owner if fraudulent messages are being posted.
3. Documented HOWTO procedure documents in GPG usage and proper use of
messages give new contributors (developers, testers, etc.) a structured
way to begin to build credibility and ease their way into the project.
4. The corpus of good GPG signed technical advice builds relationships
of trust between developers and users. This could potentially form the
basis of a developer certification and nomination of community leaders
in the future.
In order for GPG to become a standard for the project, we must have
improved documentation with many examples of usage so newbies can
quickly understand how it works. Perhaps better tools that interact
with the X clipboard would help to improve the speed and ease of use of
GPG clearsigning of messages too. Can anybody recommend existing tools
that may help in this?

ia64 kernel?
by Erich Focht
Hi,
does anybody care currently about the ia64 kernel? Why is the version
so old (2.4.9)? I could contribute from time to time but who is
managing this and what is the policy (features to include, testing,
etc...).
And: how can I build an installation DVD out of the base/ and RPMS/
directories?
Thanks.
Best regards,

Testing Updates RFC
by Jesse Keating
Jeff Spatula and I spoke on IRC last night, and brainstormed up an idea
for these Testing Updates.
We need to develop a System Verification Test Suite, that will do some
generic tests to ensure functionality of some core components of the
system. I do believe such tests exist for build verification. This
framework can be used so that the developer of a given package
errata(or update) can provide a smallish test case with the proposed
update. These test cases should be scriptable, possibly attached to
the bugzilla entry for the update. When the announcement is made that
there is a new testing update, the end user could then install the
update and run the test script which checks for functionality, and
anti-regression. We felt that if test cases were provided, many more
people would be willing to A) test the package, and B) provide
releveant test data. The biggest part about testing an update is
getting it on as many different hardware sets as possible. Anything to
make this easier is a Good Thing(tm).
Anyhow, I know this RFC is horribly structured, but I would like to get
some feedback on this idea.

service mysqld start fails
by Ryan Ayers
Upon fresh installation of FC1. service mysqld start returns a failure
status when a root password is supplied. This is because in the file
/etc/init.d/mysqld /usr/bin/mysqladmin ping fails when a root password
is set.
Is this what should happen ... or is there a better way to determine if
mysql has been successfully started?

xinetd-2.3.12-5
---------------
* Wed Nov 12 2003 Jay Fenlason <fenlason(a)redhat.com> 2.3.12-3
- build in HEAD for pre FC-2
- merge from xinetd-3E-branch to fix bugzilla #103009
also includes:
New upstream version, which obsoletes most of my patches
Remove /usr/share/man/man8/xconv.pl* fixing #90730
Remove the servers service, which was removed from 2.3.12
Change localization: instead of using en_US in /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd
(overriding the system default and preventing any customization),
/etc/sysconfig/xinetd sets XINETD_LANG, which is either a locale to use
or the word "none", which causes all locale environment variables to be
cleared before xinetd is started. This fixes #91403
include post 2.3.12 patch from upstream (originally by
Matthias Andree <ma+xi(a)dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de>) to add a new
"libwrap" parameter.
This closes bugs (#91555,#91135,#77724) by making xinetd's behavior
documented and user-configurable.
Removed the old libwrap/TCP/wait patch. If anyone actually cares,
they can add "flags = NOLIBWRAP" to the configuration of TCP/wait
services to get the old behavior.
Mark /etc/sysconfig/xinetd as a config file in xinetd.spec
Add pie support

checking (#16516). The new way was better, but

Its an issue of failure modes...and the risk those failure modes

Problem with Flash plugin to Mozilla
by Robert Trembath
Is anyone else seeing this? I cannot get mozilla to see the flash plugin
for some reason. I even installed the latest 1.5.1 rpm's from mozilla.
Java works fine on both builds but the mplayer plugin works without
sound and the flash plugin is installed but mozilla won't see it at all
on either mozilla 1.4.1 and 1.5.1.
I have Fedora Core 1 installed on a Dell Latitude C840
Intel P4 2.0m
256MB RAM
3com mini-card Wireless and 10/100
20 GB Hard Drive
Gnome and KDE produce the same result.
I've tried everything I know to fix it and it seems centered around
fedora core as I don't have this issue on the same model laptop with
RH9. Any ideas?
