Re: PHP Vulnerability
by Oskari Saarenmaa
I rolled my own php-4.3.10 rpms (based on fc3 rpms) because there still
isn't an official update available.
Source and binary rpms for fc1 and fc3 are available from
http://rpms.www.sumu.org/php-4.3.10/
Differences between my php-4.3.10-0.os.1 rpms and the FC3 php-4.3.9-3:
- update to 4.3.10
- update php-4.3.6-umask.patch
- drop php-4.3.9-phpvar.patch and php-4.3.2-db4.patch
- buildrequire libidn-devel (required by curl apparently)
- disable test 30695
FC1 specific:
- gd module is in its own package (was in main php package in fc1)
- php-pear is required
Note that I haven't tested the provided rpms too much nor can I really
recommend that anyone would use them, but they appear to work on my own
fc1 and fc3 boxes that serve some fairly busy websites.
Cheers,

Diskless client to run Fedora
by A. R.
Dear Members,
I want to make a cluster of clients which should boot in Fedora core
2/x86-64.
Configuration of my clients would be AMD 64/ADA2800 processors with 2Gigs of
RAM each.
I would be having a central server with loads of data which I would like to
split and loaded on the clients' ramdisks.
The server would fetch data from them when needed. I want this for faster
accessibility.
Where can I find good documents/HOWTOs to create such a configuration of
clients and server? And the tools necessary for the same.
Also, is it possible that I run Windows server 2003 for the server which can
store the kernel for booting the clients and I install bootp/tftp on the
same.
Thanks,
Arnie

FreeTDS
by Stefan Sonnenberg-Carstens
I hope I got most errors out, at least I thing so.
New packages are available under
http://www.coolspot.de/fedora-devel/
There are now signed with a gpg key, which can
now find in this dir along with md5 sums and the
output of rpmlint for all the rpms.
Rpmlint just now reports only warnings ;-)
Test them please.
Cheers,
Stefan Sonnenberg
P.S.:
What about changing the php rpms someday to have a
php-mssql which *works* ?

Building packages
by Stefan Sonnenberg-Carstens
It seems that at least on my mashine all packages are built with
mtune=pentium4
Would these work on stock pentium II/III ?
Is there a switch in rpm to get rid of it ?
Cheers,

Packages are updatet and available under
http://www.coolspot.de/fedora-devel/.
Please test them, if you can.
*They have not reached production quality* ( yet ;-) )
Thanks to whom made suggestions ( mostly Michael Schwendt ).
I tried to fix what I could, but a few questions are left :
Shared libs are now into /usr/lib/freetds/, which is fine.
Is ldconfig aware ? Or do I need to tell rpm to make an entry in
ld.so.conf ?
Is there a "magical" way to let rpm do it ?
Michael Schwendt mentioned to check for extra (terrestrial) dependencies,
and I found fedora-rpmdevtools.
Where are these beasts ?
Cheers,

OpenOffice Memory Bloat?
by Eivind
I am just curious why OpenOffice on FC3 consumes roughly 150MB of
memory contra a 100MB of memory using Gentoo.
I did a little experiment myself, where I checked the System Monitor
and listsed the memory maps for that process, (Identically, you can do
it by 'cat /proc/<pid_of_OO>/maps' and sort the output by size).
I found that the library libsvx645li.so which is a 12MB library is
loaded 6 times into memory on FC3 in contrast to Gentoo wich only
loads this library once. On gentoo I am using the vanilla OO from
www.openoffice.org, and I've tested this with both the standard FC3
rpm and the vanilla OO with no significant difference (~2-4MB).
Both distributions is using gnome 2.6 and the Metacity window manager.
I am just curious on what may cause this huge memory bloat (why is
this library loaded 6 times and not 1).
Any comments?

Choice of default fonts in webrowsers
by Kyrre Ness Sjobak
Hello
After reading to much forums, i can se "everyone" is complaing about
"the default font in (put your favorite web browser here) is so ugly, it
is hardly readable!"
Then the reply is "use Bitstream vera (sans) instead" and then "oh! that
was better! it was really readable! nice!"
Why is it so? Why is those fonts, which it seem like "everyone" thinks
are really ugly are used, when better fonts are shipped?
I would guess there are more people than me who has opinions on this.
Disclaimer: i am forwarding a "general feeling" from parts of the
comunity, as not everyone are on this list. But after changing my
default fonts in firefox, i must say i agree. This was *much* better!
