SELinux policy -- config tools
by Tim Waugh
Hi,
I'm trying to fix some problems with SELinux policy and
system-config-printer. This tool needs to modify
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf, and several other files in /etc/cups, but it
looks like the policy is preventing it (in enforcing mode).
The configuration tool writes a new file (cupsd.conf.new) in the same
directory, with the content it wants (derived from cupsd.conf), and
tried to rename(cupsd.conf.new,cupsd.conf) -- this fails.
I suspect that just writing cupsd.conf directly would work, but I
don't want to end up in a situation where a failure half-way through
writing causes a broken configuration file in-situ.
Probably writing a new file is creating the wrong security context on
that file anyway:
-rw-r----- 1 root:object_r:cupsd_etc_t root sys 21350 Mar 4 18:17 /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
-rw------- 1 system_u:object_r:cupsd_rw_etc_t lp sys 21350 Mar 5 09:39 /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.new
but I want to understand what this config tool *should* be doing, and
how to make the policy let it do that.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Tim.

rpm / gpg key question.
by Erik LaBianca
I'm trying to include documentation for gpg signature checking in my
quickstart guide at http://www.ilsw.com/~erik/fedora-qa-quickstart.html.
I'm not sure why this isn't working, but maybe someone can help me.
I run rpm --checksig on a package and get
rpm --checksig perl-Example-Package-1.0-0.fdr.1.src.rpm
perl-Example-Package-1.0-0.fdr.1.src.rpm: (SHA1) DSA sha1 md5 (GPG) NOT
OK (MISSING KEYS: GPG#GPG_KEY_ID)
So I run
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key GPG_KEY_ID
gpg -a --export GPG_KEY_ID > /tmp/key && sudo rpm --import /tmp/key &&
rm /tmp/key
and now rpm -qa gpg-pubkey* reports a bunch of keys.
However, rpm --checksig still fails. Why?
In addition, in trying to make this work, rpm now has several copies of
the same key installed. In addition, since they are duplicate, trying to
remove one with sudo rpm -e gpg-pubkey-version-release fails, saying
error: "gpg-pubkey-54b2ad8b*" specifies multiple packages
What gives?
Thanks

Re: include php-imap in FC2 (bug #115535)
by Kaj J. Niemi
> I'm also able to package the c-client library based on the previous imap

Attached is a suggestion for libc-client.spec. It is based on the imap-2002d
package. A shared library is built in addition to the static library. The
build code was borrowed from FreeBSD's ports collection mail/cclient where
it has been working well. In the base package we install just the shared
library while the header files and the static library gets saved for -devel.
The .spec and the .src.rpm can be found at <http://www.a51.org/sw/fedora/>.
Comments are welcome.

Yes, it needs to be fixed SOON if fedora.us / extra's is going to depend
as heavily on gpg as people seem to think it should.
Ok. So I wrote a shell script to download a key from the keyserver,
attempt to strip excess uid's and signatures, and load it into the
fedora keyring. I'd like to see it included in fedora-rpmdeveltools,
particularly once it properly strips keys for inclusion in the rpm
database. Please check it out at
http://www.ilsw.com/~erik/fedora-installkey
It works for my key (736A7502).
It does not work for Ville Skytta's key (BCD241CB), which was the one I
was trying to load in the first place. His key isn't really a problem
since a working version of it is included with fedora-rpmdevtools,
however I imagine there will be others with the same problem.
I have been unable to make it work by hand, so my script is obviously
not working fully either. The script currently removes all extra uid's,
and all non-self signatures successfully on his key. However, rpm still
fails when attempting to check a signed SRPM.
I tried manually deleting all signatures except the self signatures from
all the uid's, and that didn't work either.
What's the magic incantation here?

Announcing Fedora Core 1 for AMD64
by Bill Nottingham
Red Hat, Inc. and the Fedora Project today announced the availability
of a port of Fedora Core 1 to AMD64 - the first 64-bit port of a
Fedora Project core release.
The Fedora Project is a Red Hat-sponsored and community-supported open
source project that promotes rapid development of innovative open
source software through a collaborative, community effort. Fedora Core
1 provides a complete Linux platform built exclusively from open
source software. Available at no cost, the release serves the needs of
community developers, testers, and other technology enthusiasts who
wish to participate in and accelerate the technology development
process.
As a community forum for advanced development, the Fedora Project
provides early visibility to the latest open source technology and
serves as a proving ground for technology that may eventually make its
way into Red Hat's fully-supported commercial solutions such as Red
Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat contributes development resources,
editorial direction and management to the Fedora Project.
Red Hat and the Fedora Project would like to thank Justin Forbes
for his work organizing, coordinating, and developing this release,
along with the many other community members who worked to make this
release happen.
