BUG? gcc and header search path
by Ronny Buchmann
The problem: two versions of a library installed (one in /usr, other one
in /usr/local), now I can't compile against the one in /usr, because gcc
refuses to change the search order for /usr and /usr/local.
---
ignoring duplicate directory "/usr/include"
as it is a non-system directory that duplicates a system directory
#include "..." search starts here:
#include <...> search starts here:
/usr/local/include
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.3/include
/usr/include
End of search list.
---
Is this intentional or a bug? Should /usr/local/include be in the search list
by default at all?

Passing conditional parameters into a rpm build
by Keith G. Robertson-Turner
Just hit a small snag building a package:
%install
.... snip ....
# FIXME: how to combine [!?_without_gtk OR ?_with_qt] into a single test?
%{!?_without_gtk:install -D -p -m 644 %{SOURCE3} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/pixmaps/nvclock.xpm}
%{?_with_qt:install -D -p -m 644 %{SOURCE3} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/pixmaps/nvclock.xpm}
and also:
%files
.... snip ....
# FIXME: how to combine [!?_without_gtk OR ?_with_qt] into a single test?
%{!?_without_gtk:%{_datadir}/pixmaps/nvclock.xpm}
%{?_with_qt:%{_datadir}/pixmaps/nvclock.xpm}
I've read the "conditionalbuilds" rpm doc, which gives the example:
# Read: If neither macro exists, then add the default definition.
%{!?_with_ldap: %{!?_without_ldap: %define _without_ldap --without-ldap}}
But that's the equivalent of an [X AND Y], whereas I need a [X OR Y].
Specifically, [IF either X OR Y are TRUE, THEN install the file nvclock.xpm]
How?
TIA.

Re: Request for Comments: updating RPMs using binary deltas
by Toshio Kuratomi
FWIW, I think I started the 1998 thread on adding difference support to
rpm with a mistaken assumption that rhmask could do this. I believe it
ended when Elliot Lee posted some code that used xdelta to do the
differencing and we figured out that we couldn't reconstruct the rpm
packages so that the gpg (pgp then) signatures were valid.
I believe there was talk that moving from commandline gzip to zlib would
make this possible but I don't know if that's true (would be possible to
test now)
Since Elliot's offered his code as a base, I think if someone's still
interested in this they ought to pick it up and see if there are
remaining problems in making this work. It's much easier to convince
other coders if you can show you've already worked out most of the time
consuming, bug-hunting problems :-)

CVS import of SRPMS
by Harald Hoyer
Hi,
Florian Laroche and I prepared a python script to import a set of srpms
into a CVS tree in the style we use internally.
This could be used to provide a public CVS server for Fedora.
An outside developer could track the recent sources and provide patches
easily.
The script and some documentation could be found under:
http://people.redhat.com/harald/srpmcvsimport/
E.g. I run
$ ./srpmcvsimport.py -t FC2 -m rpms -r /dir/cvs
/dir/fedora/development/SRPMS /dir/rpms_cvs/rpms /dir/rpms_cvs/bin
every day and have a nice CVS tree of the actual Fedora Core 2
development version tagged with a moving tag named FC2.
Hope this is useful for anyone :) Patches, improvements, comments are
welcome.

Au Revoir
by Michael K. Johnson
I'd like to announce that today is my last day as Fedora Project
technical leader, as I have decided to leave Red Hat. I'm pleased
to announce that Cristian Gafton will be the new leader, stepping
into the role from his position on the Steering Committee, to manage
the process of building Fedora Core and to spend more time with Fedora
contributors.
Best of luck to everyone involved in Fedora!

It always feel good when you hear someone has left another distro
and joined Red Hat. But who says it doesn't hurt when some
hypothetically cyber virtual "friend"(?) leaves?
Best wishes
