Development tree packages that look older than fc3+updates
by Jef Spaleta
I currently have an i386 rawhide 'workstation' install... and for
kicks i enabled the fc3 updates and fc3 base repos on that box( both
yum and up2date) just to see if any packages from the fc3 repos looked
'newer' than the development tree. I found 16 rawhide packages as of
today that look 'older' than their fc3 versions. This is just an FYI
to anyone looking to upgrade from fc3 to rawhide(of fc4t1 when
available) using yum or up2date or cli rpm (I don't know about if
anaconda is affected). Someone probably needs to do a full rawhide
install and try this again to get a full list of affected packages.
Ideally we would want all the rawhide packages to look 'newer' than
the fc3 version. Can this be addressed before fc4t1 is excreted?
Affected packages as of feb 20 2005:
Omni
Omni-foomatic
dhcpv6_client
fedora-release (this might be due to a change back to noarch)
gamin
gamin-devel
gamin-python (this one is a little touchy becuase of the switch to
py2.4 in rawhide)
hal-cups-utils
iiimf-gnome-im-switcher
iiimf-libs
iiimf-libs-devel
libpng
libpng-devel
libpng10
libpng10-devel
sysklogd
I'm also looking for a 'clever' way to test for this situation in
general, 'clever' meaning not having to do a full rawhide install to
do this sort of comparison. Anyone got any ideas?

cups upgrades
by Luciano Miguel Ferreira Rocha
Cups likes to destroy my local configuration, without a save of the old
one, every time it's upgraded.
I've fixed it temporarily with chattr +i, but is there a standard way
for defining a definitive local configuration?
Regards,
Luciano Rocha

cyrus-imapd won't rebuild on x86_64

-=-=-=-=
I get the same result with the FC3-updates version (2.2.10-3.fc3). I
also have a chroot with Nahant (RHEL4 beta 2) and get the same results
there with cyrus-imapd-2.2.10-1.RHEL4.1.src.rpm from the RHEL4 released
sources.
Methinks there is a rogue macro set somewhere on the Red Hat-internal
build machine(s) that's not in redhat-rpm-config (which I do have
installed, btw). Anyone know what macro I need set/change to get this
build?

Screen savers
by JERRY WHITMIRE
Hi my screen savers will not work like they should some not all.
i am using Fedora core 3 and Fedora core 3 test 3 I have XP2200 chip set to
266 mhz and 256 mb of 2700/333 mhz ram set to 333 mhz
I have a video card with 16 mb of ram. the cpu and video card has worked
with the screen savers before i did a mother board change to an asus
a7v8x-x. and did a fresh install and up2date on the Fedora core 3 on the
Fedora core 3 test 3 was a pick the rpm i wanted to use on it.
When it is set to come on the screen just goes black it does not go to the
sleep mode .namely the ones in the [ open gl or if it has a lot of movement
to it ] but if it comes on set in random they seem to work right or if i
put them on the test mode they work but use a lot of my cpu power up to
about 60%
is this because i only have 256mb of ram ? i had 512 mb of pc 2100/266 mhz
ram before. Am not sure what is going on here.
Any help would be welcomed. Thanks

how to disable debugging in rawhide-kernel
by Satish Balay
I guess the rawhide kernel has extra checks/debugging turned on -
which can slow things down.
Any idea what these are?
I'd like to disable these patches and rebuild the kernel [rawhide
kernels currently being more stable on my T40]
I'd appreciate any pointers.
Thanks,
Satish

Java and any kernel post 1063_FC4
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
For some odd reason, using Azureus seems to kill my machine with
annoying frequency (either hangs it or resets it). Now, I'm not sure if
this is a Java problem, an Azureus problem (Azureus is a java bittorrent
client) or a kernel problem.
If I run Azureus with kernel-2.6.10-1.1063_FC4 everything is fine and
happy, files download and the world spins on. Run it on anything newer
that 1063_FC4 and I get the shut downs and lock ups.
Anyone else seeing this or is it just me?

JRE for Firefox
by Rodd Clarkson
I'm a little confused about all this so please be gentle.
I'm looking for a JRE to use as a plugin for Firefox. In the past I
would have just hooked into the jre pluggin supplied with Sun's Java,
but since I'm testing the current fedora 4 development and it seems that
FC4 intends to do without the need for Sun's Java (I could be wrong)
could someone tell me what package I'm supposed to install to get a JRE
for firefox (and any other steps I might need to perform).

How to Automagically Download DVD iso
by Robert L Cochran
Here's a dumb question. I want a way for my machine to check for, and
automatically download if found, the DVD iso for Fedora Core 4 (test)
when that is released to mirrors. Perhaps it could check every 3 hours
after a certain date, say the 20th. Any ideas for how to make that happen?
Thanks
