F9 Beta package revision issues
by Peter Robinson
Hi All,
Congrats on the Beta. Its (mostly) great, and I'm looking forward to
the final release. It looks to be yet another rocking release.
I updated from F8 + current updates to rawhide / nearly the beta late
last week using yum so I'm not sure if this is part of the problem.
Basically after a nearly a week of using I'm seeing a few small issues
(random crashes etc). Knowing of the mass recompile from gcc 4.1 to
4.3 I assume there must be some binary incompatibility so I did a 'rpm
-qa | grep fc8' to see what if any of the old F8 rpms were hanging
around and why (possible 3rd party repo etc).
I noticed that some of the build revisions of the F8 update is later
than that in rawhide. I assume the fix would be to bump the rawhide
version to be bigger than that of the F8 update. An example is imlib2.
Build 6 for the F8 package, build 5 for the rawhide one
(download.fedora.redhat.com gives me the same version so I don't think
its a mirrors issue). Also don't know if some of the fc8 hangers on
are due to them being replaced and not have obseletes set
I realise some of the list are noarch so probably don't need rebuilds,
but there looks to be a few small issues. I originally started poking
because I noticed that pidgin was less than stable.
Cheers,
Pete

HP Printer getting errors
by Mike Chambers
On an F9 rawhide system, installed few days ago, updated to yesterday,
am seeing error messages in my /var/log/messages. And the jobs
submitted to the printer aren't going through. The device is
recognized, as i can delete it, unplug it and it installs itself.

SSL build failure
by Steve Dickson
I apologize if missed the thread mail explaining what to do about this
(and feel free to point me to it, if it exists) but I'm getting the following
build error
make build
/usr/bin/koji build dist-f9 'cvs://cvs.fedoraproject.org/cvs/pkgs?rpms/nfs-utils/devel#nfs-utils-1_1_2...'
<class 'OpenSSL.SSL.Error'>: [('SSL routines', 'SSL3_READ_BYTES', 'sslv3 alert certificate expired'), ('SSL routines', 'SSL3_WRITE_BYTES', 'ssl handshake failure')]
make: *** [koji] Error 1
This only thing that changed was the updating of my ~/.fedora.cert
since it expired.
any ideas?
tia,

Improving speed of transactions
by Jakub 'Livio' Rusinek
Hi,
I want to share my thoughts about RPM.
Currently, when a lib is installed, it runs ldconfig, but it could be
done in a smarter way.
When few libs are installed, every one calls "ldconfig" and that's
slowing down transaction without special reason.
Lib, instead of running ldconfig, could set special variable, using RPM
macro %ldconfig.
Code run by the macro:
| if [-e LDCONFIG] then
| case "$LDCONFIG" in
| 1) exit 0;;
| 0) export LDCONFIG=1;;
| *) ;;
| esac
| fi
This code might not be valid, but you can easily understand it's logic:
* if variable exists, value is checked;
* if it is already set as enabled, nothing is done. If isn't enabled,
script enables it.
Same for gtk-update-icon-cache, but with GTK_UPDATE_ICON_CACHE variable
for example.
After transaction some kind of rpm_config (name similliar to
rpm_check_debug) could be run and update all the caches etc.
Idea was taken from openSUSE. They made this with SuSEconfig scripts,
but can have same idea with better implementation.

Any way to search all .spec files?
by Orion Poplawski
Is there any was to do a grep/search on all of the Fedora .spec files
for a specific release (or devel)? I'd be fine with checking them all
out if there was a way to just the the spec files for a specific release.

RFE kernel man pages
by Neal Becker
I grabbed kernel-doc, but it doesn't have built docs.
I grabbed kernel-docs noarch rpm from opensuse and installed that. Has man
pages (and pdfs) all built.
I wish Fedora had this.

Can you try logging in via startx rather than GDM and see if it keeps happening?
I'd be interested to know. My recent problem with GDM logging my user in as
bootloader_t has just disappeared and I'm not sure why (although there was a
policy and gdm version update, so it could have been fixed accidentally).
