nominate for removal: ethereal
by seth vidal
So, would it be completely inappropriate to nominate ethereal for
removal from fc3 due to its spotty history of security problems?
It seems like an excellent place to start thinking of packages that
should be maintained, in fedora extras, by the people interested in
using them, not by the central developers at red hat.
Thoughts?

beehive?
by Andreas Thienemann
Hi,
I've seen several references to beehive in spec files, in documentation or
on the fedora.redhat.com webpage.
However, it is not clear what beehive is and why, if it is not existing,
the kernel is build with some extra tags in the release: string.
Anyone from redhat care to enlighten me?
bye,
andreas

programs with integrated library packages
by Toshio Kuratomi
Hello packagers,
I began packaging gnotime-2.2.1 today. This version includes the qof
library in its tarball. qof and gnotime are both being developed by
Linas Vepstas and gnotime is supposedly the only current consumer of the
library. (This is certain to change as qof is being extracted from
gnucash and will be used by that project when the library is a fully
functional standalone.)
I see three choices for packaging this combination:
1) Everything in the gnotime package. This is similar to the way
planner, gnucash, and several other packages that provide some of their
specialized functionality in libraries currently operate. rpmlint
complains prodigiously about this and it seems to be the least "pure"
method.
2) Break the gnotime package into gnotime, gnotime-libqof, and
gnotime-libqof-devel. Some library packages break along these lines but
no program packages that I know of.
3) Package qof from its distribution and then patch gnotime to use the
external libqof rather than its internal version. This approach seems
best idealogically but is the most work and introduces possible sync
problems which is probably why it's tightly integrated upstream.
I'm currently inclining towards option 1 out of laziness and since it's
what packages within Core seem to do but I thought I'd introduce it here
to gauge reactions and elicit other suggestions first.

FC3 wishlist
by Zoltan Kota
Hi,
Updating gnome-python2 would be nice. There are a lot of bugfixes since
2.0.0. I don't know if they release 2.0.3 recently, some bugs are fixed
already in gnome cvs after 2.0.2.

Header ieee802_11.h in kernel rpm
by Matthias Saou
Hi,
I've just stumbled onto a problem when trying to recompile the latest
ipw2100 kernel modules against FC2's latest kernel. It seems that is now
includes "ieee802_11.h" instead of <linux/802_11.h>, which doesn't work as
it is a header not included in the kernel rpms. Who is to blame? That
project for including a file which probably shouldn't be directly? Or the
FC kernels for not including it? Here's what the Makefile says and does :
# We have to add drivers/net/wireless until ieee802_11.h is in the default
# include path
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -I$(TOPDIR)/drivers/net/wireless
Maybe the header file will be replacing or added beside 802_11.h in future
kernels?

Fedora Core 3 wishlist
by Predrag Petrovic
Hi,
Well first of all maybe you can fix the problem with reading the disk
geometry for the next release of Fedora. Also someone asked for
iptables. You can download it from www.shorewall.net
Shorewall is a script that is generating iptables rules. Maybe they can
place it on the CD in FC3.
