Dovecot 1.0
by Willem Riede
Can we have dovecot 1.0 alpha4 in FC5? Even though the word alpha is present
in the version, it is quite stable, and fixes many problems that there are in
0.99.14. As a matter of fact, there is no upstream support for 0.99.x. Any
reports are met with 'please upgrade and your problem will likely be over'.
Take bugs 163550 and 173928 - you can probably just close them after this move
:-)
I built my own rpm for alpha4, and have it working quite well on FC5test1.
Thanks, Willem Riede.

add --enable-libsuffix=64
by Neal Becker
I've been testing FC5T1, and as I'm building some kde packages, I seem to
need to add --enable-libsuffix=64. Probably because X moved.
Why not add this to standard rpmflags? Seems harmless.

Re: suspend/hibernate on desktops
by Bojan Smojver
I see there was quite a bit of discussion about having alternative
kernels in Extras. For the record:
- I don't want that
- I certainly don't want that based on any patches I provided links to
The links were provided for people to build their own (if they are
having trouble with suspend/resume), just like I did. It is a lot of
work during Rawhide, but once the release is out, things are far less
stressful.
I asked on the list before about including suspend2. Dave Jones replied
that it would be too much maintenance for such a large patch to be
included and that FC kernels are also trying to stay as close to vanilla
as possible. All valid and I'm not going to ask for suspend2 to be part
of the FC kernels again, unless it gets accepted upstream (which I'm
sure will happen once code/egos become right :-).
If, somehow suspend2 doesn't become part of upstream and get modularised
again, I would be in favour of making that kernel module available in
Extras. But, that's so far away and may never even happen, so it's not
worth talking about.

This didn't come out quite the way I intended - apologies to Nigel if
he's reading the list :-(
What I meant was "unfortunate to have to do the patching" in order to
have a suspend/resume solution. In other words and IMHO, suspend2 should
have been in vanilla long time ago.
Now back to compiling 1857 with suspend2 support ;-)

Re: suspend/hibernate on desktops

A few more notes about suspend2:
- once Nigel Cunningham (the main suspend2 developer) finished the work
(i.e. when he thinks the patch is ready), the patch will be submitted
for the inclusion upstream, probably in the -mm tree first (check
suspend2 devel list for more details)
- suspend2 (at present) doesn't have modular support, but it will have
it once again after the merge (i.e. modular support has been deprecated
for merge); as such, it will be a candidate for Extras in the future,
even if it doesn't get accepted upstream
Full feature list here:
http://www.suspend2.net/features
The patches for Rawhide/FCX are a stopgap measure for the unfortunate
among us that cannot use built in suspend to RAM/disk. But, I do have to
admit that even if current suspend to disk work OK on my notebook, I
would still think about giving suspend2 a go, because:
- it is faster to suspend/resume
- it looks nicer
- it leaves the system in a better state on resume (i.e. all the apps
are just as responsive as you left them)
- the support on the list is excellent

These are very nice, however, there are no Rawhide kernel versions
there at present. Otherwise I would have never had the need to do my
own :-).

semi related question; has anyone converted mixer_applet2 to use alsa
yet? The kernel keeps moaning about it in fc4 at least...
