Just a heads up, at the suggestion of Adam, I posted QA spin [1] images that include the following test day packages:
selinux-policy-targeted
policycoreutils-gui
setroubleshoot
audit
xguest
Links to the live images and sha256sum's are on the wiki page.
Thanks,
James

buildinstall on Fedora 11
by Marcus Moeller
Hi all,
I am trying to respin a F11 DVD while I have noticed that anaconda
packages are not part of the DVDs 'Packages' directory, so
buildinstall fails on this package tree.
How is buildinstall used on current Fedora releases? Or has it been
replaced, already?
Best Regards
Marcus

Fwd: [Test-Announce] 2009-10-20 Confined Users Test Day
by Eduard Benes
Hi friends,
I would like to invite you to join Confined Users test day which will be
held tomorrow, 2009-10-20. Please come out to Freenode IRC #fedora-test-day
or #fedora-selinux and help us improve SELinux policy. You will need a machine
with updated Fedora 12 or rawhide (virtualized machines are welcomed too :-)).
Testing is pretty straightforward: all requirements and test cases are described
in details here[1].
SELinux Confined Users is a feature where SELinux role is assigned to each user
and where the SELinux policy controls what the user can do/access on the system.
Dan Walsh and Miroslav Grepl will help us to solve issues.
Thanks to all who come along to help test!
Milos Malik
P.S.: There is no bravery in running Fedora/RHEL with disabled SELinux ;-)

RPM Database issue
by Ganotis, Ioannis
Hi All,
While working with package management, installing/uninstalling various RPMs,
I came up with a question regarding the RPM Database where package-related information
is being stored.
The default location of the system's RPM_DB is at /var/lib/rpm. I can then create a second (private)
RPM_DB (e.g. /var/lib/my_rpm) with the 'rpm --dbpath /var/lib/my_rpm --initdb' command.
After that, using the '--dbpath' option I can select at which RPM_DB an RPM is going to be
installed. The problem is when I try to install an RPM in the private RPM_DB which has dependencies
on other packages which exist in the system's default RPM_DB.
Is there any way for the second RPM_DB to somehow extend the default DB while installing a package ?
This means that when installing an RPM in the private RPM_DB it should first check for dependencies in BOTH
RPM databases.
Also is there any way for "synchronizing" two or more RPM Databases ?
Thanks for your time in advance
With best regards,
Ioannis Ganotis

Packaging files that rpmbuild's auto-{requires,provides} trips on
by Conrad Meyer
Hi,
I'm packaging some data files for a package and having trouble getting
rpmbuild to finish. At some point in (I'm guessing) the autorequires/provides
scripts, file(1) returns a 1 code, and rpmbuild chokes and dies. So, my
question here is:
1) How do I get these scripts to ignore this file?
and also:
2) Should the autorequires/provides scripts die when they stumble across a
file file(1) errors on, or should they just assume it doesn't require or
provide anything?
Thanks,

Did something happen to blobAndConquer?
by Bruno Wolff III
blobAndConquer seems to have dropped out of today's rawhide repo even though
it is still tagged for dist-f12, f12-beta and f12-final.
Are other people seeing this?

USB Keyboard Amok?
by Petrus de Calguarium
Hardware:
Logitech USB Keyboard
Asus Motherboard
Problem:
Approximately every 100th cold boot/system restart, the
BIOS message, as it is displaying memory, hard drives,
etc., is all scrambled, even in colour, and the beep
that normally occurs at boot becomes a single long ring
that never stops, and the system hangs, unresponsive to
any input.
Solution:
To remedy this, one must unplug the computer, wait
until the LED on the motherboard extinguishes, remove
the battery from the motherboard, plug in a spare PS/2
keyboard, put the battery and power cable back in, and
reboot.
Then, the BIOS settings must all be set from scratch,
as they are totally awry - no, not the defaults! If one
does not use a PS/2 keyboard, no keyboard entry is
possible. If one does not remove the battery, then some
mysterious BIOS supervisor password will be set that
cannot be circumvented (I don't use a BIOS supervisor
password).
After having performed all of these steps, the system
works perfectly, like before, until about the 100th
time (wild guess - a long time - but often the problem
occurs 2 or 3 times in a row, then not at all for
weeks). Curiously, the same problem existed with a
previous Asus motherboard (same USB keyboard, which
works perfectly, as far I am able to determine from
regular, daily use).
Is this an Asus problem, since 2 Asus motherboards are
affected (I upgraded the BIOS, but there have not been
any new upgrades available for 18 months), a USB
keyboard problem (the problem occured on the older
motherboard while kbd, not evdev, was in use), or
something altogether different? I have been unable to
replicate the problem or determine any actions/states
that appear to produce it.
