Self-Introduction: Silke Reimer
by Silke Reimer
Hallo list!
I prepared some GIS-related packages for Fedora Core 2 and I would
like to announce them within the next few days to the list. I read
that I should introduce myself before I do so. Well, here I am:
1. Full legal name: Silke Reimer
2. Country, City: Germany, Osnabrück
3. Profession: Project management for (mainly GIS related) projects
with Free Software
4. Company: Intevation GmbH, www.intevation.de
5. My goals in the Fedora Project:
As I already wrote I am interested in GIS related projects and
software. Our company has been asked by Michael Tiemann to produce
some packages with GIS software and data for Fedora 2 and this is
what I did in the last time. Now the packages should be included in
the official release of Fedora 2.
In detail I am talking about the following packages:
- grass (version 5.7)
- thuban (version 1.0 with some enhancements)
- some GIS libraries: gdal, shapelib, proj
- some Geodata based on vmap0 with examples and HowTos for there
usage
6. Historical qualifications
I got my first experiences in packaging software in 2000 when I
became responsible for the FreeGIS CD. The FreeGIS CD is a
collection of RPM-based packages with GIS software and data as well
as some documentation about how to use these packages.
Since debian lacks lot of important GIS related stuff I began to
help with packaging some of them. By now I am the maintainer for
thuban and gdal.
In my professional work I am mainly engaged in building web based
applications with spatial reference. This can be some rather simple
webmapping applications or very complex WebGIS applications for the
digitizing geodata or web based maps with connection to complex
simulations systems. My main programming language is python but I
also have to adapt or enhance free software programms which are
written in other languages, mainly C and PHP.
I hope this is sufficient to trust me :-) Otherwise please ask more
about my skills, goals etc.

nfsroot on FC2 x86_64 not functional?
by Gary Molenkamp
Not sure if this is an FC issue of a kernel issue, but...
I'm trying to use the nfsroot boot option to the 2.6.7 kernel with no
success. (Panics because it can't find root). I tried to confirm that
nfsroot is compiled into the kernel by rebuilding from source but the
nfsroot option is not available under filesystems->network filesystems as
it used to be.
Checking the Kconfig files, I see that CONFIG_ROOT_NFS is not included.
If I add them then the kernel build fails with undefined references.
Is this a 2.6 issue? Any pointers would be appreciated as I haven't been
able to locate any references to my particular problem.

gtk+ from gnome cvs needs automake 1.7 - 1.9 is installed, what to do ?
by M.Clasen
hi ppl,
i like to recompile the gtk+ package from the gnome cvs.
while calling ./autoconf, there comes an error, autoconfs depends
automake-1.7.
i got the sources for automake 1.9, rebuild it fine and tryed again,
but the autoconf script of gtk+ likes only automake 1.7.
i tryed to edit the autoconf script, but i go on thin ice there and got
other errors underlaying my missediting of the gtk+ cvs autoconf script.
how can i compile the gtk+ cvs sources, what must i do here ?
must i downgrade automake to 1.7 ??
regardz
Michael

mime-types in gnome (Blender package)
by Phillip Compton
I am currently updating the blender package for fedora.us, but it has
been requested that I make the package associate .blend files with
blender. Seems like a reasonable thing to do, but so far, I'm having
little success with getting it to work in gnome (working fine in kde).
I have created blender.mime and blender.keys files.
I've added a x-blender.desktop file under mimelnk/applications
.blend files now have a lovely icon, but no luck in getting blender to
start when double-clicking on them.
here's the current srpm:

Self-introduction: Dan Kegel
by Dan Kegel
1. Full legal name
Daniel Richard Kegel
2. Country, City
USA, Los Angeles
3. Profession or Student status
Senior Software Engineer
4. Company or School
Google (http://google.com)
5. Your goals in the Fedora Project
* Which packages do you want to see published?
I'm interested in cross-compilers. Specifically,
I'm adding RPM support to the gcc/glibc cross-toolchain build script
http://kegel.com/crosstool, and would like to see this make
it into Fedora. I'll probably need a fair bit of hand-holding
with the RPM naming and structuring...
* Do you want to do QA?
On my own packages, sure. Probably don't have time to help with others, sadly.
* Anything else special?
6. Historical qualifications
* What other projects have you worked on in the past?
You asked, so here's a sample, with mostly correct dates:
1984: borrowed control of Rose Bowl scoreboard for a couple hours :-)
1985: wrote nansi.sys. Relicensed later under GPL for the FreeDos project.
1989: wrote little bit of rexec client code (ended up in rmt library and gnu tar)
1991: added features to npasswd (see comp.archives)
1992: wrote "horton" and "uwho" email directory programs
1995: wrote http://alumnus.caltech.edu/~dank/isdn/
1999: wrote http://kegel.com/c10k.html
2000: served on JSR-51 expert group (who helped the Java NIO developers a bit)
2000: wrote http://kegel.com/dkftpbench
2003: wrote http://kegel.com/remedy, got ~2000 people to cosign my comment on the MS settlement
2003: submitted a bug fix or two to gcc and glibc projects
2003: added a unit test or two to Wine (cf. http://www.kerneltraffic.org/wine/quotes/Dan_Kegel.html)
2003: helped triage lots of crash bugs in OpenOffice (cf. http://kegel.com/openoffice)
2003-2004: Current project is 'crosstool'; it's in use by a number of people.
* What computer languages and other skills do you know?
My primary language is C/C++, though I've used a lot of Java and sh.
* Why should we trust you?
I'm a pretty good programmer, and my heart's in the right place.

Linux-ATM support.
by Lamar Owen
Ok, a bit of introduction. Due to some phenomenal eBay buys, I have a fairly
elaborate ATM network here at PARI. I have five 3Com CoreBuilder 7000 5Gbps
switches, a dozen or so dual OC-12 cards, bunches of OC-3 cards, etc.
I have a Dell PowerEdge 1600SC running FC1 with a ForeRunner HE622 OC-12 NIC
installed that is working very well with the linux-atm project's LANE code
(oddly, I can't rebuild from source due to some fancy things a few of the
low-level diag pprograms need from the kernel headers, but since the
linux-atm project provides prebuilt binary RPMs that's not a big issue). I
get good bandwidth through the HE with a LANE LEC set up with the zeppelin,
atmsigd, and ilmid setup as shipped with the linux-atm userland package.
So, I am setting up a second Dell 1600SC with another HE622 card to test the
ATM cloud's performance. This 1600SC is my testbed and is running FC2. So I
install the linux-atm userland, and attempt to use the HE. Well, the .358
kernel doesn't have the HE or any ATM drivers. So I updated to the latest,
and it has CONFIG_ATM unset, too. My question to the kernel maintainers here
(Arjan, Alan, and Dave) is simply 'Why no ATM?' The ATM support is actively
maintained, is production quality, etc.
The second question is 'how do you generate the configs used in the kernel
SRPM' and is that tool available as part of the SRPM? I will be recompiling
with ATM support, but I want to use the Officially Approved rpmbuild
--rebuild kernel-x.y.z-a.b.c.src.rpm method, since I want to distribute this
kernel internally to all machines that will be running ATM cards. I am not
uncomfortable hand-editing the config file, but I know that that is
suboptimal.
This of course is the Way to Do It since the desire is to not ship
kernel-sourcecode anymore, so custom kernels have to come from the SRPM,
which is fine by me as long as the configuration tools used to generate those
prepackaged configs are available.
I am looking at system-config-network too for ATM support; I know this is not
a RedHat-supported item, but it is something I will need at some point, since
I want native ATM networking available to some of my users.
