rc.local blocking
by Jesse Keating
Is rc.local blocking no longer honered?
With RHL9 and below, we could run some scripts that would query the user
for some information, using echo, and read and all that fun stuff.
Even if the system was configured for GUI login (init 5) these scripts
would run, and hold the system until the user input the information, at
which point it would then flip out to the GUI login screen. This
worked great for our uses. I cannot seem to duplicate this behavior
with FC1. I've tried disabling rhgb, both in grub and
/etc/sysconfig/init, but it seems that no matter what, on the FIRST
BOOT of an installed system, the text console out put stops right
before the "Entering non-interactive run level 5" banner would show up.
After the first boot, then I would get all the text, but by then my
scripts have cleaned up after themselves and will no longer run.
Could somebody please help me figure out what is going on, and how to
re-enable my scripts to block any further progression?

kernel with swsusp
by Rui Miguel Silva Seabra
Hi,
Is anyone trying working on adding swsusp to Fedora's Linux? I'd be
willing to collaborate, but I doubt I can bring it on all by myself.
Yours, Rui

ifup-ipsec adds route
by David Hollis
I recently managed to get the Linux 2.6 IPSEC up and running using the
ipsec-tools RPM that was briefly in Rawhide. While converting to use
the support that is in initscripts for IPSEC, I noticed that the scripts
attempt to create an IP route:
ip route add to $DSTNET via $DST
if it's a tunnel connection. In my scenario (which I think is the
pretty typical scenario of LAN_A -> gw1 -> Internet <- gw2 <- LAN_B),
that call fails with: RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable. This
call is failing because $DST is not on my local network so it can't be
the next hop. I've found that the scripts work fine with that line
erroring out or commented out so it is innocuous. Just curious as to
what the reasoning was for that statement.
Otherwise, thanks a bunch for putting the support into initscripts,
really cuts down on a lot of work!

legal issues
by Tim Daly
Perhaps there should be a fedora-legal mailing list
so the legal questions can be taken out of fedora-devel?

more yum problems
by tony
I thought I would try a yum update of a machine from RH9
-> Fedora Core 1
I have gnome errors because I am running Ximian Desktop 2 - no problems
there I know how to fix that - but the libraries are installed (in the
wrong place?)
.package gnome-libs needs libdb.so.2 (not provided)
package ghfaxviewer needs libdb.so.2 (not provided)
package gnome-libs needs libdb.so.2(GLIBC_2.0) (not provided)
# locate libdb.so.2
/usr/lib/libdb.so.2
But this is more annoying
package samba needs libcom_err.so.3 (not provided)
# locate libcom
/usr/kerberos/lib/libcom_err.so.3.0
/usr/kerberos/lib/libcom_err.so.3
/usr/kerberos/lib/libcom_err.a
/usr/kerberos/lib/libcom_err.so
/lib/libcom_err.so.2.0
/lib/libcom_err.so.2
Samba 3 was installed from an rpm found from link on samba.org
Any light shed greatly appreciated.

Apache headers
by Razvan Corneliu C.R. "d3vi1" VILT
While building a module for apache I've noticed the following problem
Out of pages of errors the most important lines are:
(...)
/usr/include/httpd/ap_config.h:58:17: apr.h: No such file or directory
(...)
There are similar ones for other .h files in /usr/include/apr-0
The work-around was to move all the file from /usr/include/apr-0 to
/usr/include
Someone rearanged the header files in apr but forgot to update the
apache headers with the new location... ntz...ntz...ntz...

Bootstrapping Fedora off old Red Hat
by Alan Cox
I'm wondering if any of the folks who build off very old Red Hat (7.x) like
MIPS, Sparc and ARM have tried bootstrapping FC from that base and what
approach they found best. I'm pondering setting a box crunching through
Fedora for S/390 but initially its a maze of twisty little dependancies
between libraries, tools and compilers.
