Thanks for your explanation Mike, that gives the members like me, who
are non developers, a better understanding of the heavy jobs of open
source sw developers.
I think threads like this are useful to establish a contact between
different minds and roles, and to keep clear that these lists are not
only for reporting pure software/technology related issues, that can
be otherwise somehow arid and dry...
For what bug reporting is related, I'm in the active part: for example in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=184051
(ok the link Josh?) there was a very rapid committment from both sides...
It was worth leaving for some months slackware current and put the
nose inside fedora!
Anyway, I understood you Mike are on my side in this thread... (just a
joke, sorry ;-0
Please open the door!!! Who locked me in?!? Where are you guys: you
let me alone in the classroom!

You are right, in general, but due to the imminent release date I
thought I had better to post also here so that a trivial not blocking
bug could have more chance to be seen and eventually forwarded...
In bugzilla I posted the bug as "Normal", because we are talking about
a "cosmetic" bug (only a wrong echo command inside the script for
status option): these days I think mantainers are only targeted to
blocking problems.
Call this "efficiency through redundancy"?

NM + caching-nameserver?
by Neal Becker
Is NM compatible with a local caching nameserver? It looks like the default
NM setup is to set resolv.conf from dhcp. If I want to cache results
locally, how can I do this?

Qt 4 RPM and pkg-config problem
by Tarjei Knapstad
A while back I posted about Qt4 rpms for development work and got
pointed towards Than's rawhide SRPM at
ftp://people.redhat.com/than/rawhide/.
This works and I've just used the spec to build Qt 4.1.1, but it has
one minor flaw which I'm not sure how to fix. All the pkg-config
scripts which are installed in lib/ include the RPM build dir in the
Libs: section (I need the pkg-config stuff to properly detect Qt4
using autoconf). Here's an example from QtCore.pc:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lQtCore -L/usr/lib/mysql
-L/home/tarjeik/rpmbuild/BUILD/qt-x11-opensource-src-4.1.1/lib -lz
-lm -lpthread -ldl
What is the proper way to fix this? Add a small sed line in the spec
to clean out the rpmbuild dir from the .pc files after the build is
complete and the files are packaged? I wouldn't be surprised if this
was a common problem with a common fix, I just need to know how :)
Oh, Paul F.J., did you get around to add this RPM to Extras? (can't
find the bugzilla entry in case you did)
Sincerely,

Thanks Dave! I'll stop hitting my head off the "it's a configuration

Please "attach" files to bugzilla, instead of pasting into a massive comment
by Mike A. Harris
Warning: Frustration rant follows.
More and more over time, I am noticing a tendency of bug reporters
adding log files, config files and other large files to bug reports
by cutting and pasting these massive files into the comment box,
instead of attaching them as proper bugzilla file attachements.
As a developer, this is very irritating because it makes the bug
report incredibly long to view. You have to scroll forever to
get from one comment to the next, with this massive file pasted
in the middle, making it very hard to follow, and thus making
it more difficult to provide help for the problem being reported.
It also causes bugzilla's word-wrap to affect the text being pasted,
which generally breaks patches, making them no longer apply cleanly,
until they're reattached properly as file attachment by the person
who has the original, or causing the developer more work manually
recreating the patch from scratch by hand editing the source and
regenerating it with diff/gendiff. This also can cause config files
pasted into comments to be distorted and no longer machine parseable,
depending on the syntax of the file, and how the parser that reads
it handles things that have moved from one line to another due to
wordwrapping in bugzilla.
Bugzilla has a file attachment feature, labeled "Create a file
attachment". If you can not find it, please use your web browser's
search feature to find the link on the bugzilla page, and _always_
attach these files directly as individual uncompressed text files,
so that developers such as myself can bring the file attachments
up in another web browser tab/window with a simple single mouse
click, while still following the bug report.
Bugzilla used to also have a "Create a file attachment" hyperlink
directly under the "Add a comment" window in red font, which the
majority of users seemed to find right away. Back then, we got
very few 1Mb log files pasted into bug reports making them
unreadable, however nowadays bugzilla has reverted to the old
behaviour, and an ever mounting number of bugs are getting these
massive files pasted into them.
This is very very irritating. Please help us (developers) to help
you (bug reporters/testers), by using bugzilla properly, and
thinking about what it is like to be on the receiving end of 500
bug reports and get 30 like this.

Bluetooth missing from i586 kernel config?
by Brian
Hi,
I've been struggling trying to get my USB bluetooth dongle to work on
my i586 based MiniITX since I started trying FC5 (Test 3).
The same BT dongle worked fine under the old FC4 installation.
>From what I can see, in the installed i586 kernel (2.6.15-1.2025_FC5)
the drivers and net modules are all missing. To prove this I just
installed the i686 kernel on another machine and bluetooth worked fine
and the relevant directories with modules were present:
i.e.
/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2025_FC5/kernel/drivers/bluetooth
/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2025_FC5/kernel/net/bluetooth
This seems to have been the case for all kernel builds I've tried in
the past few weeks.
Is this just an error in the config file used to compile the i586
kernel, or a concious decision to leave it out (in which case,
shouldn't the bluetooth service be removed too as it's throwing errors
on every boot?).
I'm hoping it's just an error, as I can't bear to think about having
to figure out how to manually compile every single new kernel from
source just to get bluetooth back on my mini-itx machine! :-(
