libgweather 50Mb??
by Vasile Gaburici
Isn't there some streamlined way of installing this? I mean, for a
feature I never use this is one of largest packages dumped on my disk.
# rpm -e libgweather
error: Failed dependencies:
libgweather.so.1 is needed by (installed)
gnome-applets-2.22.3-1.fc9.i386
libgweather.so.1 is needed by (installed) gnome-panel-2.22.2-2.fc9.i386

FontForge FontView?
by Vasile Gaburici
According to http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/source-build.html, it's
recommend to install the
FontView bitmap font, which is used to label the font matrix entries,
so you can visually check if you put the glyphs in the right slots.
Shouldn't Fedora be shipping this? I know it's a bitmap font, but
unless you're volunteering to move fontforge out of the X11 font
world, FontView is needed to use it properly.
According to http://khdd.net/kanou/fonts/ff/fontviewfont-en.html,
FontView is a derivative of clearlyU, but with a lot more coverage
(60K+ glyphs vs 9K+). Perhaps we should package FontView instead of
clearlyU?

OK, that works for my raw file system, but how is it done in a package ?
cd %{buildroot}%{python_sitelib}/pyvnc2swf/
ln -s vnc2swf.py ../../../../bin/vnc2swf
rpmbuilds fine, but get rpmlint from the other way:
rpmlint --info pyvnc2swf-0.9.3-4.fc9.noarch.rpm
pyvnc2swf.noarch: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/bin/vnc2swf vnc2swf.py
The relative symbolic link points nowhere.
Is it OK to leave with that warning ?
Should it be fixed like Paul shows {with symlinks} in the above bug ?
Or is there another easy fix that doesn't require such trickery ?

WARNING: Empathy/Haze & MC Profiles Update: Slight Manual Fixing Required
by Peter Gordon
Hi, all.
The Mission Control profiles in the telepathy-haze-mission-control
package were originally created manually based on the Jabber/XMPP
profile to allow Telepathy-using applications to support the basics of
libpurple's more common protocols: AIM/ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo! IM.
However, these are getting rather stale and upstream Empathy already has
nicely-working profiles for Haze (with more protocol support than the
old subpackage). So, in an effort to more closely track upstream's code
and profiles (therefore slightly reducing the package maintenance work),
I have committed and am now building new telepathy-haze and empathy
packages that use Empathy's profiles instead of manually-created ones.
These should hit tomorrow's rawhide but unfortunately it means that the
profiles have been renamed. I have included a script named
"upgrade-haze-profiles.sh" (installed as documentation) with Empathy
that automagically fixes this on a per-user basis; but this script needs
to be run manually.
(Come to think of it, we may need to add this as a minor upgrade-related
fix in the Release Notes...)
Thanks, and happy hacking. :]

Evolution unstable due to being unable to expunge folder
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Evolution seems to be rather problematic for me currently. It is unable
to expunge folders (and sometimes store folders). When I try to expunge
a folder, it fails with an error that says "Detected a corrupt mbox file
or an invalid 'From' header".
I've deleted the index files and recreated them (which screws my email
up something rotten!) but still can't expunge. I've also deleted all of
the emails and then tried to expunge. I get "storing folder x%" (where x
can be anything) and then it fails.
This inability to store the folders is causing evolution to become very
unstable (crashes quite a few times every 10 minutes). I've tried
evolution --force-shutdown and then restarting and expunging, but get
the same problem.
Any ideas on fixing this? I'm using evolution 2.23.6-1.fc10.i386

Missing Dependency: mktemp ?
