Building RPM's and maintaining Packages...
by Manuel Escudero
Hi! I was wondering if there is some kind of a guide or HowTo for
building RPM's for fedora from some software source code and then
pushing them to the repos or maintaining a package...
For example, I see we only have one maintainer For Kmess,
if I download the source for lastest Kmess stable download how can I
convert it into a RPM and how do I push it into the repos to help
this guy who's maintaining it?
I need a "RPM Guide For Dummies" if you have one. xP Never Built anything
before..
Thanks!

Tiff Readers from Fedora 5 versas Fedora 14 scanned from a Toshiba 350/550 scanner
by Gregory P. Ennis
List,
I have been trying to debug a problem related to some scanned *.tif
files by a Toshiba 350 and 550 copier scanner. We are copying this tif
files from each of the copiers/scanners windows shared directory and
then porting them to our fax.
In testing this software I noticed the tiff reader on Fedora 14 would
about 40 to 60 % of the time would display a corrupted image. I thought
it was related to the Toshiba copiers/scanners. However, I discovered
that these same files are read easily by tiff readers on Fedora 5. I
also determined that when these same tif files are faxed using vsifax
they are ok.
Has anyone else noticed a problem with Fedora 14 tiff readers. All of
the Tiff readers I have downloaded to this unit read the file in the
same corrupted view. This would make me believe it is related to some
library file that all tiff readers use.
Not every scanned file is viewed as corrupted by Fedora 14. However,
when a file appears corrupted on Fedora 14, it can be read as normal in
Fedora 5. Any ideas as to a fix?

I ran into similar sort of problem trying to get a WINXP virtual
instance to print through the F14 host.
It turned out to depend on how the printer is connected to the network.
#1) Attached to a print server using cups/lpd/lpp
Use the 'network printer' option in the Printer Wizard.
For my HP-1320 LaserJet connected using an SMC one-port print server.
The server interface in my case is http://192.168.1.11:631 and the
device URI in the Fedora setup is lpd:192.168.1.11/dummy.
The WinXP guest printer uses:
http://192.168.1.11:631/PASSTHRU
where PASSTHRU is the 'name' of the print server port.
You end up with a TCPIP port 'named' http://192.168.1.11:631/PASSTHRU
and a printer named 'unknown on http://192..' etc. (there seems to be no
way to name this printer).
***************************
#2 Attached to a print server using hplip or some other method.
Do NOT use 'network printer': use 'Local Printer' and create a TCPIP
port for this printer. Under Fedora this printer shows up as
'socket:192.168.1.12:9100' and the browser interface to the server is
accessed directly with http://192.168.1.12. (Note: no port address)
Since my HP LaserJet MFC 3055 uses tcpip port 9100, I created a port
9100 and configured the port settings to 'RAW' (not LPD). You can name
this printer whatever you want.
I suspect the same considerations apply for an external real WINXP as to
the virtual instance. It 'sees' the printer in the same way, in either
case. The only funny thing is that the 'Network Attached' printer, is
installed as a 'Local Printer'. Yes that did take a while to figure out...
You might have to turn on printer sharing on the Fedora printer, so that
external hosts are allowed to 'see' the 'IP:631' cups port.

Frequent paging
by Suvayu Ali
Hi Fedorans,
My workstation has been paging a lot lately. It's a fairly high-end
system, Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.6 GHz (overclocked, originally it was
3.0 GHz) and 2x2GB Corsair RAMs.
lshw output:
*-memory
description: System Memory
physical id: 19
slot: System board or motherboard
size: 4GiB
*-bank:0
description: DIMM 800 MHz (1.2 ns)
physical id: 0
slot: A0
size: 2GiB
width: 64 bits
clock: 800MHz (1.2ns)
*-bank:2
description: DIMM 800 MHz (1.2 ns)
physical id: 2
slot: A2
size: 2GiB
width: 64 bits
clock: 800MHz (1.2ns)
and my swap is 6 Gigs.
$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3961 3772 188 0 328 1129
-/+ buffers/cache: 2315 1645
Swap: 6143 153 5990
I used to be able to have uptimes of the order of a month without ever
using a single Kb of my swap. But lately I start paging from a few Mb to
several hundred Mb after about half a week. Whenever this happens, I
find multitasking becomes impossible, e.g. opening a pdf interferes with
music or video playback.
I noticed a weak pattern, usually when I find my workstation is paging I
have a few pdfs open. Lately I have been working with a lot of pdfs and
most of these pdfs are about thousand page long documents (but only ~
20-30 Mb in file size). I keep these open for reference as I work on my
thesis. However closing evince doesn't help reduce the swap usage (at
least not within the next 15-20 minutes).
Apart from these symptoms I also find my system has become generally
slow. Even opening the terminal or thunar (the XFCE file browser) takes
a few seconds. I am on 2.6.34.8-68.fc13.x86_64. Does any one have any
culprits in mind?

Redirection of mailto=root
by Erik P. Olsen
Various routines send messages to root@<local domain> normally using the setting
"mailto=root", For example /etc/anacrontab and /etc/crontab.
Is there a central place where such can be redirected to an external mail address?
