Xen in rawhide
by Steven Pritchard
Does anyone know if the Xen rpms in rawhide are supposed to be working
at this point? The xen0 package appears to be missing xen.gz.
BTW, thank you to whoever @redhat.com decided to add the Xen builds...
I spent a rather disturbing amount of time trying to build my own
rpms, but I never managed to get anything that worked.

I had trouble with RPM and GPG signature checking. I had to add:
do_chroot("rpm --import http://fedora.redhat.com/about/security/4F2A6FD2.txt")
before the yum command to work around it.

Does this work for you? When I run the script, python throws an exception
saying that it can't import gtk.glade. As near as I can tell, Glade isn't being
used in the script.

I'd like to know the answer to this one too. My guess is that it should point
to my LDAP server, but I'm not sure.

Should I add this to the FC4 tracker bug?

Zope/Plone on Fedora
by Alan Milligan
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
There've been a couple of posts regarding this over the last couple of
months on this list, and we'd like to take this opportunity to
coordinate interested parties.
We are about to begin promoting BastionLinux,
https://linux.last-bastion.net as a niche Linux distro for enterprise
Zope/Plone customers.
We've already an infrastructure comparible to the RHN to make this
happen, and this goes much beyond releasing a solitary zope package.
We are intending to offer this to distro providers along the lines of
the jpackage.org model if there's interest (we've been promoting the
resolution of the python rpm macro bug, 120635, as the first step to
facilitating this).
If anybody has any queries or is interested in particating at any level,
then please get in touch with me to coordinate our efforts.

First rpm packaging attempt: OpenMOIV
by Gianluca Sforna
I finally managed to file in bugzilla.fedura.us my first rpm package.
https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2329
Is there any other additional step I should take now??
Some info from the package description:
OpenMOIV is an object-oriented, 3D multi-platform toolkit that helps you
develop molecular visualization applications. OpenMOIV is an evolution of
the original Molecular Inventor™ from SGI™ that optimizes the rendering of
molecular structures and adds a whole new set of functionalities. Molecular
Inventor is also an extension of the Open Inventor toolkit, and runs on top
of it. OpenMOIV simplifies the process of writing molecular visualization
applications with atoms, bonds, surfaces and residues.

FC3 install and grub failure on HP Proliant DL380, kernel issue?
by Sam Hart
When installing FC3 on an HP Proliant DL380 w/ HP SmartArray 5i
controller grub fails to install successfully (leaving the system unable
to boot). In essence, when Anaconda is nearly finished and gets to the
grub install, grub fails and Anaconda does not report it (instead it
gives you the "Reboot" screen saying installation is complete).
However, by switching the proper console (5, as I recall) you can see
the actual error:
http://hackers.progeny.com/~sam/ZZ-Images/hp_bug.png
As you can see, grub identifies the filesystem type, but cannot actually
read any files from it (there it is failing to read stage1, but I have
verified it can't read any files on the system).
Now, I haven't filed this as a bug in Bugzilla yet because this seems to
be a problem well beyond just FC3. I have verified that other distros
exhibit the same behavior.
Also, I have isolated it down to some sort of kernel issue. In checking
with some custom FC2-based distros, I've verified that the problem only
occurs with kernel versions after 2.6.5. I have tried both stock and
patched Fedora kernels.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Note that if you install FC2
on the machine and then upgrade, everything works except for future Grub
installs ;-) To see the bug the installer must be running on a kernel
newer than 2.6.5.
Since this is not really a FC3 bug, does it even have a place in RH's
bugzilla? FWIW, I would wager that RHEL would have the same problem,
even though I have not verified it myself.
BTW, since this is grub-legacy, I'm yet to find anyone in the grub
community who's willing to diagnose it ;-)
Here are the outputs of dmesg/lspci from the machine after a successful
FC2 install:
