Bug Day 7: Nov 26,2003: -Imagine something clever relating Thanksgiving to bughunting here-
by Jef Spaleta
It's the day before Thanksgiving, what's a better way to work up an
appetite for 40 lbs worthy of deep fried turkey meat than with some
quality QA? Trick question...there is nothing better!
For lack of something original and because the need is still as great as
it was last time, I hereby deem today's bug day theme
to be Fedora.us QA.
Become involved in the fedora.us QA process and help QA packages that
are waiting to be published in the fedora.us addon repo:
http://www.fedora.us/QA.
There are 279 packages sitting waiting for QA. That's 279 packages
the Fedora community could be enjoying in the published fedora.us
repository trees, once they have made it through the community QA
process.
Remember, until the full merge is completed and Fedora Extras and
Alternatives is up and running...community packagers are being advised
to use fedora.us's process:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2003-November/msg00649.html
How do you become involved in the fedora.us QA process?
Easy, read: http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageSubmissionQAPolicy
I think there are enough people in the freenode irc network's
#fedora-bugs channel who are already part of the fedora.us QA wagon
train to provide some guidance if you are new to the process (hint hint
hint, that means if you ARE part of the fedora.us QA process right now,
it might be in your best interests to sit in the channel and gingerly
help new people getting started in this process as part of the bug day
call to arms)

While I'm all for LDAP(and kerberos for that matter) for authentication
and user information , moving the standard user database to ldap would
be very unneeded for the common home user.
I'd very much like to see a fullu featured ldap administration console
thoug, with specific tools for unix account management and similar. (gq
is to general)

Point is this is not needed and might complicates things for the
majority of users.
The name service switch makes it very easy for those that want
to use ldap. What is perhaps needed is a gui for the ldap
migration scripts, and ofcourse a good administration console.
If you need to administrate a networked LDAP server, that is rather
diffrent from managing local users/groups, though if one only wants user
group management, it shouldn't be that hard making a unified
administrator appliation based on e.g. libuser(if not already done..)

Re: can't see any chinese characters at all, mozilla crashes all the time
by Lu Mudong
Alan:
Thanks for asking, I installed english, chinese font packages, I believe I
have the right packages installed, it's just the system can't find them.
Michael:
I checked the announce list, it didn't help. I also searched all over the
internet for several days, nothing helps. my problem is that I can't read
chinese at all in KDE, not only mozilla's problem. So I figured that could
be a development problem.

Executable memory: some apps that work on RH9 don't on FC1
by Gérard Milmeister
Hi,
Some software, among them clisp, scm and mit-scheme don't work anymore
with FC1. One problem seems to be that on FC1 stack and malloced memory
is no longer executable, at least not without using mprotect.
Interpreters and compilers like the above commonly allocate a piece of
memory and fill it with executable code. I am sure they can be adapted
to work on FC1, but I would have preferred that the FC1 kernel would
behave in the same way as the RH9 one. Is there any way to disable this
behaviour. Trying to get the problem fixed by the upstream developers
will probably take a long time, and it seems that other Linux distros
don't show this problem...
Regards,
Gérard
