release of Fedora Core 4, bringing new technology to Linux users
everywhere, and the first release of Fedora Core to support PPC
out of the box.
Designed as a general purpose operating system for a variety of
uses, Fedora Core 4 Test 2 offers various improvements over Fedora
Core 3. People who have used Test 1 will notice the following
improvements:
- GNOME updated to 2.10 final

said "There's no guarantee that it won't eat your data or fail to
install. It could even cause an alien takeover of your humble town."

Re: Proper way to autoload modules (/etc/rc.modules)?

What makes you say that? How is it different from having an
/etc/modules.d/ivtv? I would say that reflexive, knee-jerk reaction
"let's add .d" to any problem is a recipe for wrong design which
produces redundancies. Don't forget that it's easy to introduce
entities, not so easy to get rid of them.

The named's number is 55. Surely a slot to load capabilities before
named can be found.
So far I did not see a good reason to keep /etc/rc.modules around
in this thread (with a possible exception of pcspkr, because it
plugs into HID; but even there a smart kernel patch ought to help).

xdelta for DVD ISO-images
by Florian La Roche
The following is done for specifix for DVD images. Maybe this can
also be implemented for FC.
greetings,
Florian La Roche
We ship the Specifix Linux distribution on two CD-ROM images
per architecture. If you have a DVD burner and want to create
DVD images, we have supplied xdelta version 1 files created from
concatenated CD images to a DVD image.
To create the DVD image, download the two CD-ROM images and the
xdelta for your architecture, and run these two commands:
cat specifix-linux-0.23-<arch>-disc1.iso specifix-linux-0.23-<arch>-disc2.iso > spx-merged.tmp
xdelta patch specifix-linux-0.23-<arch>-cd-dvd.xdelta spx-merged.tmp specifix-linux-0.23-<arch>-dvd.iso
Substitute <arch> for your architecture. Burn the resulting dvd.iso
file to a dvd:
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=specifix-linux-0.23-<arch>-dvd.iso
If you are not yet running Specifix Linux, and if your distribution does
not include xdelta 1, you can get xdelta 1.1.3 from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6966&package_id=7069

apache2filter
by Marc Richards
Hey everyone,
I saw in the release notes for RHEL 4 that they have switched from
apache2filter to apache2handler for processing PHP files. I just
checked my copy of FC2 and noticed that apache2handler was being used as
well. I have couple questions:
1) Will FC4 be using handler or the filter?
2) Does anybody know why the switch was made from handler to filter for
RHEL3 -> RHEL4 (and presumably RH9/FC1 -> FC2)?
Using the filter (on RHEL3) allows me to easily include PHP output in my
regular html page by turning on the IncludesNoExec directive.
IncludesNoExec doesn't work using the handler because it only works with
text/* file types and in order to associate php files with the handler
you have to use AddType application/x-httpd-php .php. Using the
Includes (no NoExec) directive is bad because it lets web developers
execute command line programs from within .html pages.
Is there another way to achieve what I want with the apache2handler? or
is there some other flaw in my logic?
Thanks.

make: *** No rule to make target `configs/config-i686', needed by
`kernel-2.6.11-i686.config'. Stop.
The source trees I checked out ("cvs co kernel" with
CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/dist) do not seem to
contain any configs
Perhaps somebody would be kind enough to point out where I am going wrong
Thanks

Duplicate RPMs
by Gavin Henry
Dear all,
This might be a dumb question, but should all the released versions of
packages be in Extras?
i.e. when the latest update is out, should the previous version be removed
from the download server?

Kind Regards,
Gavin Henry.

net-snmp "persistent data file" question
by Joe Orton
Hiya, a net-snmp question for you:
The latest php releases were changed to call snmp_shutdown("snmpapp")
when the php-snmp extension is shut down; this happens each time httpd
is restarted or stopped, or when /usr/bin/php exits.
It seems this wants to write a "persistent data file" at
/var/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf, which is not a particularly good location,
nor one permitted by the SELinux policy for httpd, so a bunch of spam
gets sent to stderr instead. You can see this from a vanilla system
using /usr/bin/php, when /var/net-snmp doesn't exist:
[root@trash ~]# php < /dev/null > /dev/null
No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging
Creating directory: /var/net-snmp
So, some questions:
1. what is this data file for, do we need this file?
2. can the location be changed to something sensible, /var/lib/net-snmp
for instance?
3. should PHP by passing something less generic than "snmpapp" in the
init_snmp() and snmp_shutdown() calls?
Regards,
joe

New graphics packages for FC.
by Rodd Clarkson
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, so if not, please
advise where to discuss and I'll move it.
I like to see the inclusion of Scribus and inkscape in FC.
Scribus is a desktop publishing package and Inkscape is a vector based
drawing package. Neither of these areas (as far as I can see) are
addressed in FC and both would, I believe, be useful additions to FC.
How do I go about getting these packages considered for FC?
