Localization versus Requires: aspell-en
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello there,
We have some doubt about the Requires: of a default localization.
For example, eclipse-texlipse needs aspell
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506431
By default I chose aspell-en,
# For Spell-Check (choosing default : English)
Requires: aspell-en
Is there any macro that automatically selects the proper %{lang} of a
Requires: ?
e.g aspell-%{lang} ?
Or should we only stick with aspell-en ?

F11 deltarpms being built against rawhide base release
by Bradley Baetz
Hi,
Running F11 (x86_64), I've noticed that not all updates have deltarpms
built for them. It looks like there is one built for the package, but
the source version is wrong.
For example gvfs-1.2.3-6.f11 is in the latest set of updates. I
currently have 1.2.3-2.f11 installed, but the drpm is
gvfs-1.2.3-3.fc12_1.2.3-6.fc11.x86_64.drpm, (f12, not f11, and 1.2.3-3
never got pushed to f11) which won't work...
Presumably there should be drpms built against release+prev-update, or
ideally one drpm for any update released in the previous week.
Other packages (openssl, qemu) don't seem to have .drpms built at all.

Spins SIG could use some more active participants
by Bruno Wolff III
Our Spins SIG meetings have been pretty poorly attended recently (just nirik
and I) and our Spins Wrangler for F11 has resigned from that position for F12.
nirik does not have time to take a more active role and I want to limit
my work in the Spins SIG to technical stuff and the Games Spin. I really
don't have a good big picture view of Spins.
I am not sure if kanarip has just been short on time recently or if he is
looking to change his level of involvement in the Spins SIG on a long term
basis.
Besides needing a new wrangler, we need to get processes for recurring and
discontinued Spins created.
P.S.
I screwed up the devel list address the first time I tried to send this.

Hallo,
in the Fedora Weekly News there was an announcement about
the new community portal for Fedora.
After I have taken a first look, I want to make the following
suggestion.
It may be helpful if you can see on the user profile, if the user
are a sponsor of the packager group. Nowaday, you have none
indicator about this state on the user profile.

Packaging PHP
by Patrick Monnerat
I'm currently packaging some PHP classes: if I follow the packaging
guideline at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:PHP#File_Placement,
class files should appear directly in /usr/share/php, not in an
extension-specific sub-directory.
This seems rather rude: this rule will sooner or later cause name
collision between files from packages and the directory will grow up to
a mess very fast.
Would it be possible to alter this rule to allow package-specific
sub-directories ? I know some packages go already this way (is it by
special authorization?).
Maybe my understanding of this simple rule is too strict. In this case,
I think it should be stated in more permissive terms.
Thanks for your replies

Heads-Up: rtkit
by Lennart Poettering
Yo!
Just a little heads-up: I am about do add a dependency on a new
package "rtkit" to PA, effectively meaning rtkit will be installed by
default.
rtkit is "RealtimeKit", it's a tiny bus activated service that hands
out supervised RT scheduling to clients that ask for it.
If you maintain a desktop application that uses rt, it might or might
not be a good idea to modify it to make use of this.
If you want to know what all this is about and for the reasons for it,
please read the README:
http://git.0pointer.de/?p=rtkit.git;a=blob;f=README
and this announcement on LAD:
http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lad/2009/6/19/156064
Thanks,
Lennart

F11: LVM over MD is broken. Switch back to F10?
by Gilboa Davara
Hello all,
While not strictly a -devel issue, the advise I'm seeking does raise an
interesting issue.
I've got a number of workstations running a combination of F9 and F10.
All are using LVM over software RAID5. (DM)
I've done a test upgrade on the workstation (including a partial
migration of some of the partitions to ext4), and hit bug #505433 [1]
(Kernel hangs when it fails to detect a valid partition tables on the
software RAID).
My problem is rather simple:
The initial test workstation is currently DOA. If I revert back to F10,
I will no longer be able to help the kernel guys debug this issue; on
the other hand, I've begging to miss my main workstation. (Typing this
on my F11 based laptop...)
Far worse, the F9 workstations are reaching EOL, and I cannot install
F10 on them due to known anaconda issue (That was fixed during the F11
devel cycle) so in short, I'm in deep ****...
... Suggestions?
- Gilboa

I think this is the real problem
If this hits yum or any package yum depends on you have no chance for dist-upgrade
I had the problem updating f8->f9 eith openssl-dependencies of installed
yum-version which was installed in a version yum did not resolve because
installed yum has dependencie of installed openssl and the yum-version
from f9 was not resolved as "to update". preupgrade did leave me with a unbootable
system without a kernel after second try and finally i had to force the upgrade again
form dvd - if this happens on a server you would wish to die :-)
I think dist-upgrades with yum should be forced official because
you can not upgrade a server from dvd or preupgrade because of downtime
my experience is that upgrades with yum are much better if there are no
broken dependencies because you can check and fix grub.conf, make manually updates,
remove leaves and so on while the system is running and as sample apache
serves his websites without downtime, so you have more time to look and think
before you reboot and run into troubles.
anaconda is a blackbox in this case
