CAT:Science;Electronics -> Other in gnome menus
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello there
The desktop files for electronic simulation applications point to
"Education;Science;Engineering".
In fact this is wrong and should be changed to "Science;Engineering"
or "Science;Electronics" as stated by
http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html
Additional Category - Description - Related Categories
Electronics - Electronics software, e.g. a circuit designer - [ ]
Engineering - Engineering software, e.g. CAD programs - [ ]
[Desktop Entry]
Categories=Science;Electronics; or Categories=Science;Engineering;
Since those packages are not meant for "Education" (but instead Engineering),
the category "Education" is inappropriate.
However, on :
* KDE : the applications are properly displayed on a menu "Science &
Math", (octave uses it as well)
* gnome : the applications are displayed on a menu "Other".
I would like to know whether it's ok to leave those applications in
the "Other" menu on gnome or not ?
gnome puts categories for which it does not have an appropriate menu
to other and since there isn't one for science or electronics.
I've discussed this issue with the freedesktop and gnome guys on their
respective channels, and they are OK with having those tools on the
"Other" menu of gnome.
Your thoughts are welcome.
Chitlesh

I'd like to advertise "make clog && cvs commit -F clog", so the commit
appears with a meaningful log message instead of none.
That would also make it much more convenient to skim over FC-6 commits
to see whether there are any pending security fixes which shall be
pushed asap.

tkcon license
by Michael Thomas
The license for tkcon is very similar to the TCL license, except that
the sentence about relicensing with modifications is missing:
"Modifications to this software may be copyrighted by their authors
and need not follow the licensing terms described here, provided that
the new terms are clearly indicated on the first page of each file where
they apply."
This doesn't seem to me to be objectionable (the bourbonware clause is cute,
though). I'm just not sure if I should still call this the 'TCL' license, if
it should be added as a variant of the TCL license, or call it something else.

kernel-2.6.22.3-61.fc7
by Bojan Smojver
Could we have the above in the F7 testing? Or is there a reason for
keeping a kernel based on 2.6.22.2 in there?

please enable XFS in anaconda
by Dan Yocum
Hi,
It's been many years since I, and others, have pushed Marcelo and Linus
to include XFS in the kernel. And we *have* been able to install using
XFS as the default filesystem by passing the command line option 'linux
xfs' (see: http://www.fedorafaq.org/#reiserjfs) when starting the
install, but can you please enable XFS as a default FS option during the
formating section so we don't have to remember to pass this option when
booting?
Here at Fermilab we've got nearly a petabyte (or more!) of spinning disk
with XFS filesystems. It's stable, widely tested, widely deployed, and
it's being actively developed and maintained (which is more than can be
said of some other filesystems that remain in the default list). It's
in the kernel, it shouldn't be "hidden" in the depths of anaconda anymore.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi @all,
(sorry for having no references in the reply, I was not subscribed to
fedora-devel so far.)
I am the one who suggested replacing dolphin with d3lphin.
A few weeks ago I realised that dolphin is unmaintained for qt3. While I
was looking for some fixes for dolphin's annoying behaviour (ie. putting
its .dolphinview marker in every visited directory without being able to
turn it off) I found d3lphin and contacted upstream
(http://marrat.homelinux.org).
In a discussion about its further direction I asked Marrat about how
many releases he has planned and what about d3lphin when kde4 is
released. While the latter remains unclear, he said he had bunch of
patches in the backhand. By now he has pushed three versions of d3lphin
which all lead to a better experience for the user than the unmaintained
dolphin does.
Unfortunately the patches are not available separately, so providing a
patched version of dolphin-0.8.2 looks to be more work that just taking
the d3lphin source.
So I vote for replacing dolphin with d3lphin (+ Provides: dolphin).
But if you want to stay with the package name "dolphin", please add a
"Provides: d3lphin", so that you can find d3lphin using yum (hope this
works, I cannot remember the last time I needed such a search).
Anyway, thanks a lot for discussing my request.
Christoph.
