readahead could use a update
by Mark
Hey,
i just wanted to speed up firefox and i saw that the 1.5.0.9 lines are still
in readahead, but not 2.0.0.3
and i`m sure there are more things in readahead that i didn`t saw yet.
btw.. firefox is real fast when added to readahead :)
[root@localhost ~]# time firefox
real 0m0.363s
user 0m0.009s
sys 0m0.031s
[root@localhost ~]#
without it takes a few seconds.
perhaps a good idea to add the default gnome applets (that are shown on a
default fedora installation) to readahead?
Mark.

iwlwifi working anytime soon?
by Thomas J. Baker
Would anyone in the know care to speculate if iwlwifi is going to work
anytime soon? It's been in the kernel for a month or so (at least it
feels like a month) and has never worked for me and many others. From
the kernel changelogs, it doesn't seem like much is happening with it.
I'm not complaining. I'm willing to test it, that's why I removed the
old driver and tried to use the new one. But if nothing is going to
happen with it and it doesn't look like it's going to make FC7, a month
without wifi is all I can stand. I could enable the old driver but it
seems cleaner (i.e, more valid testing) if there is going to be progress
to just wait out the fixes and not install the ipw3945 driver.
Thanks,
tjb

Re: Did i just made the fastest dependency checker in the world? (198 packages in 1.5 seconds)
by Otto Rey
Is there any "spec" or "documentation" of version checking and dependency checking?
IMHO to change, add features or reimplement existing tools or projects. we need documentation, like developer-readables-mini-rfc's
Read source code to extract logic will produce mistake's , specially with different languages.

Someone already answered that one, I'm afraid : The rpm source code.
You can speculate all you want on "replacement" methods to compare
versions, but chances you'll get it right are near zero... unless you
use the exact same algorithm (and trick and hacks?) than rpm itself.

SIGs/KDE packages Request: OpenWengo
by SmootherFrOgZ
Hi folks,
it's seems that we can have a problem to add wengophone to fedora/extras
repository.
it use (also need) ffmepg libraries for some owned features.
So, i think this package should go to unofficial repository (such as livna
or Atrpms)
Or, anyone have a comment to write about ?
regards,

yum-presto 0.3.4
by Jonathan Dieter
Yum-presto 0.3.4 is ready. It's main feature is a patch from Ahmed
Kamal that rebuilds the rpms in a separate thread so that the
processor-hungry rebuilding process happens in parallel to the
network-hungry deltarpm download process.
I'm not pushing it to the presto repository because it's only been
tested on my machine, so I'd like to hear from at least two or three
people that it doesn't break their machines.

Filing FC7T3 bugs against "test3" vs. "devel"
by Christopher Aillon
------- Additional Comments From mattdm(a)mattdm.org 2007-04-10 12:35 EST
-------
Fedora 7 test bugs should be filed against "devel", not against
test1/2/3. This
isn't obvious, I know. Moving this report so it isn't lost.
This is a bulk message -- I apologize if this was actually meant to be
targeted
against a different release. If so, please fix or let me know. Thanks.
I just got a bunch of the above mails. How about we implement auto
detecting this for bugzilla? Seems like all we need is some logic that
does something like:
if egrep "Fedora.*\.fc([0-9]+)\b" useragent then
if relevant bugzilla version exists then
auto choose relevant version
else
auto choose devel
That should work for Firefox and Epiphany (and probably seamonkey too).
No idea if Konqueror or other browsers have similar useragents but
this should help a lot more bugs be filed properly.
And why do test1, test2, test3 even exist? Can we remove them if bugs
should not be filed there?
