It's the same upstream software in devel as in EL-5.
However  devel has some release bumps for .so updates to underlying
xerces 2 -> 3 that happened in Fedora but not RHEL.

The "devel" or F12 would have worked but EL-5 has a more consistent relevant
changelog with out a release bump which is irrelevant/misleading in this case.

I have already fixed sap, but I'm not able to do anything about
diveintopython. The build process simply is too old to work with newer
versions of the required libraries, and already worked only with patches
before.
I have already orphaned diveintopython about two weeks ago, any
help/takeover would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Thomas, good point. But reality might be different:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2260035 -> build.log

The x86_64 build failed, and is says that the i686 was cancelled.

However, the build.log shows that the package and -debuginfo .rpms were 
created, ie the build actually succeeded. This seems like a bug in the 
koji web interface.

Having the non-failing build be cancelled may not be optimal; I have 
definitely found it helpful to compare the build logs of different 
archs, when one succeeds (or at least gets further). It helps to see the 
diff in log results to understand what is different about the process 
between each build.

That would be more bonus points for the diff to optionally ignore !
A decent visual diff will highlight lines that are different, but also 
show the actual characters that differ (I don't know if viewvc can do that).

> What would be the benefit of such a feature?
Resolving build problems more quickly:
- what changed in the build process from arch to arch ...
- what changed in the bp from fedora release to fedora release ...
- what changed in the bp compare to an earlier version-release ...

However, for the less experienced package maintainers: tell me shortest 
time for you to determine the cause for the failure in:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2260034  -> build.log

Now, would these screen shots from a visual diff program have reduced 
the time for working out both the error, and the cause ?

perl 5.12.1 is in rawhide

2010-06-21 Thread Marcela Mašláňová
Hello,
as you might noticed, perl was pushed into rawhide. Test buildroot will
be deleted, so since now all changes go to rawhide. It looks like
nothing was broken, at least no new missing requirements or build
requirements.
Feel free to test and file bugs ;-)

Happy hacking,
Marcela

You definitely still want to replace gethostbyname with getaddrinfo,
because gethostbyname can't handle IPv6 addresses. But that's not
relevant to this particular problem (noticing resolv.conf updates)
because both functions use the same internal glibc methods, they just
package the results differently.

When thinking about this, there's a rather obvious patch here that
really should have been made 5+ years ago...make it an option!  And
this actually makes some sense, e.g. if NetworkManager writes out a
static configuration, then there's no need to stat() on it since we
can assume it won't change.  (This does still screw over server admins
who hand-edit it, but...)

glibc and NetworkManager patches attached.

(I'm totally in favor of the dnsmasq approach too since the OS
desperately needs DNS caching too, but this is a simple patch that
doesn't conceptually conflict).

Subject: [PATCH] [resolv.conf] Add a new "dynamic" option which tells us to re-stat the file

Various operating system vendors have been shipping variants of a
patch which stat()s resolv.conf on every gethostbyname() call.  The
reason for this is simply that on mobile devices, nameservers can
change, and having to restart all applications and processes for this
is simply broken.  (NSCD exists, but is considered unreliable)

The intent of this patch is that in e.g. Fedora, NetworkManager's
generated resolv.conf file will include this if it gets any of its
data from DHCP.  Otherwise, it can omit the option, and processes
won't have to pay the cost of the stat() (assuming it was even a real
concern to begin with).

There are no IPR disclosures on any of the GOST algorithms filed with
the IETF, which is a strong signal that none of the patent holders of
ECC related patents has any objection. But I understand this could be
a matter for Fedora Legal. I could try and liason between Fedora Legal
and IETF IPR WG in gathering information that might convince Fedora Legal
all the due diligence is in place.

This will become a serious issue once .ru starts deploying GOST based
signatures in their TLD zone.

I would be great if we could change the spec file to have a proper flag
to enable/disable GOST/ECC so that people can easilly rebuild with GOST
support if they need to (and it is legal for them). Would that be
legally possible?

Some references showing there should not be any known IPR issues filed
with the IETF that would prevent implementing RFC standards using ECC:

This is not possible as the ECC algorithm sources are removed from the
source tarball prior to adding it to the Fedora CVS.

This however does not give any guarantee of no patent litigation when it
is included as a general purpose algorithm in Fedora I am afraid. But of
course IANAL. 

Perhaps it would be possible to modify the source of ECC algorithms to
include just the smallest possible sources needed just for the GOST R
34.10-2001 and make the calls to the general purpose algorithms needed
for the implementation of the GOST signature algorithm not exported from
the library. However this would be a fair amount of work and the
resulting patch will not by trivial in any means. And moreover the patch
would not guarantee that we would be shielded from the legal point of
view.

Sorry I haven't been following this really, but I loath
config options that aren't absolutely required, and this
seems like a place where we could just stat() (cache) always.
What's the problem with doing that?

Are we worried about the performance of doing time()
for every request? I would never expect anything
resembling efficiency from DHCP, never mind the
overhead of a time() call.
Has debian ever had complaints given that they
patch glibc by default?

cheers,

It would be good if we could get the issue of GOST support in openssl figured 
out
in time for that deadline. Though I am not sure if that is possible. See my

I too would be really interested in any real-world application for
which the cost of the stat() was any kind of major performance hit.

We are implicitly relying on aligned word size assignment atomicity
here it looks like, yes.  I haven't looked if there are other places
in glibc doing this or if there's some infrastructure for it.  To be
clear this patch is derived from the OpenSUSE one; I didn't change the
semantics there.

Would it still be possible to have the define with a comment to grab the

Fedora 14 Feature Submission Deadline in Three Weeks

2010-06-21 Thread John Poelstra
It is hard to believe, but it is true,  we are almost a month into 
Fedora 14 development.  This email serves as a friendly reminder that 
the deadline for submitting new features for Fedora 14 is Tuesday, July 
13, 2010.  After this date newly submitted features will be targeted for 
Fedora 15 unless an exception is granted by FESCo.

Accepted Fedora 14 features so far: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/14/FeatureList

If you are are current feature page owner, thank you for already 
submitting your feature for Fedora 14 and contributing to the next 
release of Fedora.  If you haven't updated your feature page in the last 
month it would be a great help to every one if you would do so.  As we 
start to reach deadlines and test releases for Fedora 14, more and more 
people query the feature pages and we'd love to know that what they find 
is current and correct.

Thank you!
John

I've been working on it (though have been on holiday for a week)

I hope to have the latest upstream 2.7 release candidate in rawhide

PulseAudio profile change upon plugging hardware

2010-06-21 Thread Ahmed Kamal
Hi Fedorians,

Lately I've hit a Just-Works™ experience with Fedora and it rox. Basically,
I purchased a Bluetooth headphone, paired to my fedora box, and boom it
appears as an audio device inside pulseaudio. I was happy with how simple it
was to use it to talk via skype .. Awesome! Then I wanted something more
advanced, I wanted to only use the BT headphone's mic, while having audio
output via the full laptop speakers. A couple of clicks inside pulseaudio
GUI, and that works too .. very very cool ! Thank you Lennart and everyone
who helped make this possible. Thanks for bringing the free desktop to the
21st Century.

Now, what remains to be missing (at least I can't figure it out) is:
Whenever I pair my BT headphone, I want PA to automatically use its mic, but
audio output should remain on the main speakers. Basically, I want a certain
PA "profile" to be applied whenever different audio devices are plugged
in/out. I wonder if this functionality is already available. If not, I'd
like to file an RFE. Thanks again for a nice surprise

Best Regards

Is there a Fedora feature page for gcc 4.5?  I briefly searched, but
didn't find one.

I'm not sure that building things twice is a waste: if there are bugs,
having intermediate builds may help us determine whether the problem
relates to the Python or the GCC revision bump.  It may be simpler to do
a full rebuild of anything with:
  Requires: python(abi) = 2.6
as soon as python 2.7 hits rawhide.

Is there a good (automated) way of doing this?

Thanks for the warning (they really are appreciated).

I updated to koji from the last hour, just to be a bit insane.

With all the gnome and glib changes in place, gnome gets to the point of
displaying the desktop icons. The panel never appears and the three desktop

It occurred to me that QA may not have given you much if any feedback on
this for a while. I haven't followed the FESCo logs closely, but if it
helps as info for tomorrow's meeting, QA has been working on the proven
testers system. There is now a proven testers policy in place:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/JoinProvenTesters

and we are working on instructions for proven testers:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Dafrito/Draft_proventesters_instructions

so things are progressing well on that side. As far as we can see, we're
now waiting on release engineering to 'flip the switch' in Bodhi so that
critpath package updates require proven tester feedback, as they did for
F13 prior to release. The mechanisms for the testing to actually happen
are now pretty much in place.

Cool. This looks interesting... 

Have you considering setting up proper hosting for it at perhaps
fedorahosted.org ? 
see: https://fedorahosted.org/web/new

What distros ship with kexec support enabled these days?
Most of them?

A nice clean wiki page showing how to download, how to install (and
list any prereqs) and run it might be good. 

It should be pretty simple to package up for fedora... but I think
the best use would be other distros.

Creating the right metadata involves using the --baseurl directive, and
something along the lines of --baseurl media://  That's what
will make the repodata have the right urls listed.

Something like this probably belongs in a consumer app, and not in Koji
directly.  You'd find it faster to develop and use something stand alone
that consumed content from koji in order to do the comparisons, and then
you'd have a better way of comparing different builds.

Heads up! Erlang/OTP R14A will soon hit Rawhide near you.

2010-06-21 Thread Peter Lemenkov
Hello All!

This is a release candidate to the forthcoming Erlang R14 release,
which is scheduled on September 2010.

I'm almost sure that no visible dependency issues will be introduced
by this upgrade, although there may be some hidden issues, which I
plan to track down and fix during consequent full rebuild of all
Erlang-related packages.

Objections, thoughts and comments are highly welcome, as usual.

With best regards, Peter Lemenkov.
