Still have x86_4G problem with kernel 2.6.7-1.478smp
by David Chambers
There is still a problem with 2.6.7-1.478smp and the x86 4G patch, I
think.
-478 smp kernel boots perfectly on a machine with 2GB memory. However on
a similar 4GB machine with about the same complement of add-in cards
(same motherboard, scsi, video, etc), the -478smp kernel gets as far as
"Starting printing system" and hangs. It is still responsive to
ctrl-alt-del after a delay of 1-2 minutes.
Same results with no extra boot options or with "acpi=off"
Rebuild of kernel with x86_4G disabled fixes the problem - boots fine,
works as expected.
Not yet tested with the uniprocessor kernel.

[FC3] wishlist: NetCDF
by Ed Hill
Hi folks,
I'd very much like to see NetCDF RPMs available for Fedora Core 3. Even
if they are part of some "extras" (or any of the yum repositories), that
would be very nice. I've been using slightly updated RPMs originally
built by RH folks:
http://mitgcm.org/eh3/netCDF/
and would be happy to do Q/A or whatever else I can to help make NetCDF
RPMs more widely available.
thanks,
Ed

pkg-owner funny
by Pete Zaitcev
I became a Fedora developer today and so being vane like a goldfish
I ran to check if my name looked pretty in the package owner field...
And then this happened:
[zaitcev@porkchop zaitcev]$ pkg-owner fc3 pan
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pkg-owner", line 23, in ?
cspec = beehive_pkgset.make_collinfo(dbh, args[0])
File "/mnt/redhat/beehive/bin/beehive_pkgset.py", line 311, in make_collinfo
raise Error(errstr, t)
beehive_pkgset.Error: <beehive_pkgset.Error instance at 0x82281e4: {'text': "Collection `fc3' unknown", 'lines': ['Valid collections:', ' dist', ' powertools', ' playpen', ' k12ltsp', ' docs', ' rhdb', ' gnome', ' ha', ' realaudio', ' ia32_compat', ' kabar', ' kde', ' lacd', ' professional', ' redbaron', ' stronghold', ' secureweb', ' ccm', ' rhn', ' edu', ' k12', ' hwcert', ' gps']}>
[zaitcev@porkchop zaitcev]$
If you look closely, you can see a message "Collection `fc3' unknown",
which kind of makes sense, but... what is a known collection then?
I puzzled a little and remembered that bhc uses dist-X syntax, and
indeed the following works:
[zaitcev@porkchop zaitcev]$ pkg-owner dist-fc3 pan
zaitcev(a)REDHAT.COM
[zaitcev@porkchop zaitcev]$
What a weird software package we use for everyday work :-)
Cheers!

Request for testing - mod_security
by Daniel McNamara
Hi guys,
I've built some RPMs for mod_security
mod_security is a module for Apache that allows for sys admins to do some
very neat filtering of GET and POST requests, cookies and pretty much
anything you want on the HTTP level.
It's incredibly handy for defending dynamic websites against SQL injection
attacks and cross site scripting. The official mod_security site is at:
http://www.modsecurity.org
I believe I had already done all the appropiate things. I introduced
myself on this list a few weeks back:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-June/msg00737.html
I also logged it with the fedora.us bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1772
I'm new to packaging so if I've done something horribly wrong please let
me know.
I've updated the RPM's recently as well as tried to make configurationa a
little more user friendly and I'm now looking for people to test them out.
I'm personally using the RPM's in production as I run a dynamic website
which, due to it's nature of annoying spammers, regulary get hits with
various web attacks.
Current and previous builds, change log and md5 checksums can be found at:
http://fedora.codefish.net.au/custom/
(This is also a yum feed if you want to use it)
Cheers

yum x86_64 update problems (again)

Package xorg-x11-devel needs xorg-x11-libs = 6.7.0-2, this is not available.
Package xorg-x11-devel needs xorg-x11-libs = 6.7.0-2, this is not available.
I think the problem is that the updates seem to include
0:xorg-x11-devel-6.7.0-5.x86_64=xorg-x11-devel-6.7.0-5.x86_64.rpm
but there does not seem to be a corresponding i386 version. It looks to me
that the original installation included both:
rpm -q xorg-x11-devel
xorg-x11-devel-6.7.0-2
xorg-x11-devel-6.7.0-2
