Extension to JWHOIS for rate limiting requests to specific servers
by Howard Wilkinson
I want to add a rate-limiting feature to jwhois so that if we try to
issue a request to a whois provider that exceeds their query rate it
will get rejected with a suitable message.
I have a scheme to do this that uses memcached to hold the rate
counters, so this can be done network wide where multiple hosts are
querying out of one IP address.
Before cutting the code I would like to get in touch with the upstream
developer(s). I have looked at the JWHOIS web page and there is a
bug-jwhois address but not other contact details. Does anybody have any
upstream contact I should use.
Also, does anybody know of anyone who has done this elsewhere and if the
code is available already. I do not like reinventing the wheel as the
patent has already been taken.
Howard.

What is correct version of qdox in Rawhide?
by Quentin Armitage
My Rawhide system has qdox version 1.9.2-1.fc12, installed on 19 August,
and this is the latest version in koji, and so must have been the
version in Rawhide at the time. The current version in Rawhide is
1.6.1-7.2.fc12, which was build in Koji on 28 July, but the file date in
the Rawhide download area is 12 August.
It would appear that somehow the version number of qdox has gone
backwards in Rawhide.

removal of dhcpv6 package from Fedora
by David Cantrell
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
If you do not care about IPv6, feel free to stop reading now.
I would like to remove the dhcpv6 package from Fedora as the current dhcp
package is now providing DHCPv6 protocol support for both the client, server,
and relay. ISC has finally surpassed what the dhcpv6 package was providing
and, frankly, I have no desire to continue working on the dhcpv6 at this
point.
Does anyone care? If not, I will be marking it as a dead.package per our
package removal procedure. The dhclient package will grow the necessary
Provides/Obsoletes for the former dhcpv6-client package and the dhcp package
will grow the necessary Provides/Obsoletes for the former dhcpv6 package.

conflict between libotf and openmpi
by Neal Becker
It seems both openmpi and libotf supply a %{_bindir}/otfdump. otf is
either:
OpenTypeFont (libotf)
or
OpenTraceFormat (openmpi)
I maintain libotf. I'm not sure how to address this.
My only interest in libotf is so emacs can use it. For that, it doesn't
need the binaries. Perhaps they could be put somewhere else?
I don't know how important otfdump is to openmpi, since I don't use it. My
guess is that in both libotf and openmpi, neither is critical to function,
but is a debug aid.

Version of rhpl appears to be later in F11 than in Rawhide
by Quentin Armitage
My Rawhide system has rhpl version 0.221-1.i586 installed. The current
version in Rawhide is 0.220-2.i686, and so it appears that the version
number in Rawhide is behind that in F11.
Is there further an issue here, and also with some other packages, where
the Fedora version is not included in the package name, since it appears
to me it would be possible for package names to be duplicated, one for
example from F11 and one from Rawide/F12?

What is correct pango version for Rawhide?
by Quentin Armitage
My Rawhide installation has pango version 1.25.5-1.fc12, installed on 25
August. The latest version in Rawhide is now 1.25.4-2.1.fc12, built on
10 September.
It seems as though the version number has gone backwards, and so yum
does not upgrade (?downgrade) to the latest version.
