yum, and 2 packages that provide the same thing
by Stephen Warren
I have a question re: how yum determines which package to install when
they both provide the same thing.
Specifically, I have:
unison213
obsoletes:
unison < 2.27.57-3
provides:
unison = 2.13.16-9.fc8.3
unison213 = 2.13.16-9.fc8.3
unison227:
obsoletes:
unison < 2.27.57-3
provides:
unison = 2.27.57-7.fc8.3
unison227 = 2.27.57-7.fc8.3
(Equally, I hit the same issue if unison213 does not provide "unison",
just "unison213".)
If those two packages are in a repository, and I type:
yum install unison
then I *expect* yum to see that both unison213 and unison227 provide
unison, and pick the package that provides the highest version number, and
install it.
However, what actually happens is that yum picks unison213 to install.
I'm not sure if yum is picking:
* The first package it finds
* The "first" package by some sorting order that matches
* Some random package (although it's consistent)
Can anybody shed any light?
Thanks very much.

Java guidelines typos
by Jerry James
There are some typos on the Java guidelines page in the spec file
templates. I think these should be fixed to avoid confusing new
contributors.
1. The ant and maven templates show javadoc and manual subpackages
with a line like this:
Requires: %{name}-%{version}-%{release}
which is wrong. It should be this:
Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}
2. The ant and maven templates both use the Group name "Development
Documentation", which should be "Development/Documentation". I know
that we are trying to move away from the Group tag, but this should be
fixed in the meantime.
Thanks,

JTE - Jigdo Template Export - Faster Jigdo template generation
by Chuck Anderson
I just discovered this work where they are getting vastly faster jigdo
template generation by combining that process with the mkisofs
process. Essentially, a modified mkisofs/genisoimage writes out both
the .iso and the .template at the same time.
There are other tools as well, such as mkimage which is much faster at
reconstructing the original .iso when all the files are already
downloed (full local mirror), iso-image.pl which is a CGI script to
present a reconstructed .iso on-the-fly to HTTP clients without
requiring the .iso to be present on disk.
Here is some background info:
http://www.einval.com/~steve/talks/UKUUG-2005/jigdo.txt
and the software itself:
http://www.einval.com/~steve/software/JTE/
I'm mentioning this here in case there is interest in moving toward
this method for saving time when creating releases. Then maybe there
wouldn't be any need to delay when the jigdo templates are released
vs. the bittorrent seed like we have with F9 Preview Release :-)

packagekit behaving strangely?
by Thomas J. Baker
Anyone else have packagekit installing updates a couple at a time? I
install some updates and immediately after that, when it automatically
checks again, there are a couple more updates, rinse, repeat.
It just started happening today and it's happened on three different
systems. I have a local mirror and I know it's not changing every couple
of minutes.
Thanks,
tjb

Plan for tomorrows (20080417) FESCO meeting
by Brian Pepple
Please find below the list of topics that are likely to come up in the
next FESCo meeting that is scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday at 17:00 UTC
in #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.org:
/topic FESCo-Meeting -- Final Release Schedule (Slip in conjunction w/
latest beta slip?) - all
/topic FESCo-Meeting -- Features(?) - poelcat
/topic FESCo meeting -- Free discussion around Fedora
You want something to be discussed? Send a note to the list in reply to
this mail and I'll add it to the schedule. You can also propose topics
in the meeting while it is in the "Free discussion around Fedora" phase.
If your name/nick is on above list please update the status on the
Extras schedule pages in the wiki ahead of the meeting. That way all the
other FESCo members and interested contributors know what up ahead of
the meeting. And we will avoid long delays in the meeting -- those often
arise if someone describes the recent happenings on a topic directly in
the meeting while all the others have to wait for his slow typing...
Later,
/B

Well, they all appear to be Python so packaging them all is the same Fedora python
packaging guidelines.
I'm thinking for the setuptools we'll call the package python-ets-setuptools since it
is extensions/dropins to python-setuptools (I think).

Best to do this from the fedora-devel ML, so everyone is kept in the loop and could also
jump in and help :-)
