cvs tag confusion
by Neal Becker
After make tag in devel, I tried in F-8:
make tag
[...]
ERROR: The tag mercurial-0_9_5-1_fc8 is already applied on a different branch
ERROR: You can not forcibly move tags between branches
[...]
mercurial-0_9_5-1_fc8:devel:nbecker:1193106290
mercurial-0_9_5-1_fc8:devel:nbecker:1193106607
What should I do?

have the driver request-firmware a different firmware id each time it
breaks compat with old firmware, and package every firmware version a
kernel in a given release may need in a single firmware package
Problem solved.

I'd say kernel-side memory management, and legacy 32bit apps

That probably means you need to package "firmware" building tools in
fedora and use them to build the "firmware" source in the "firmware"
package. And we may have been lax on the subject in the past for games
but as the OP message shows it's a quick path to shipping pre-built
closed java or.Net binaries and effectively having a non-free system.
Bootstrapping may be needed as in every language we've merged.

any plans to make wireless more user-friendly in Fedora 9?
by Valent Turkovic
Hi,
using Fedora Core 6 I had lots of wireless issues; mainly some
troublesome wireless drivers. In Fedora 7 and now in Fedora 8 test 3
all wireless chips from various laptops work ok.
I know my way with iwconfig and I'm the admin of large municipal
wireless network in my home town of Osijek. So for me configuring
wireless in fedora is peace of cake, but I must say that for my
girlfriend it would be a real issue if I wasn't around.
I also watched my sister connect to our home wireless adls without any
problems using windows xp but I can't say that she would manage to
connect to the same wireless adsl if she was using fedora.
So my question is how can I (and other that can't code if they life
depended on it) help you make wireless more user-friendly for novice
users?
Thank you in advance,
Valent.

-------------------
* Wed Oct 10 2007 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch(a)dell.com> 2.0.17.5

- After upgrading from older DKMS versions to 2.0.14, any previously

- RHEL5 weak module recognition with new state installed-weak
- autoinstaller recognizes installed-weak and doesn't rebuild
- RHEL5 and SLES10 and higher weak module code expects modules to go
into /lib/modules/$kern/{extra,updates} respectively, so force that.
