What we have here doesn't really qualify as bugs. Our stuff falls into
two major components; (i) implementing the following macros:
%pythonprefix /usr
%__python %{pythonprefix}/bin/python
%pythonversion %(python -c 'import sys;print(sys.version[0:3])')
%pythonpath %{pythonprefix}/lib/python%{pythonversion}
%pythoninclude %{pythonprefix}/include/python%{pythonversion}
and (ii) upgrading up2date to connect to our Zope xml-rpc server.
For (i) we've a plethora of spec file changes to override much source
code expectation of /usr/include/python2.2 etc. Please advise as to if
and how you'd like us to help integrate this.
We also made the following changes to up2date-4.3.19:
~ * range of indescriminate bug fixes
~ * remove OpenSSL module dependency in preference of native socket ssl
~ * remove rpclib and the user proxy cruft. xmlrpc supports basic
http authentication and it's quite unncecssary to implement custom
transports.
I'm having a look at the 4.3.40 update now, and am already dismayed to
discover that the listPackages() rpc call has been changed from a POST
to a GET - which is causing a range of issues as I'm unconvinced as to
the xml-rpc compliance of this change.
These are quite significant changes, both technically and strategically,
and I do think that CVS access and collaboration with your development
staff would represent the best way forward in integrating these features
and ensuring up2date remains a generic client.
There are also a range of other python-related issues that need to be
addressed within FC. For example: why is there a python2.2 interpreter
embedded within the OpenOffice suite??
Please advise how we can participate.

| Who is 'we'? What is your goal?
|
Over the next couple of years we are hoping to further develop and roll
out our web-based Python/Zope/Plone ISP and CRM products
internationally. There are considerable complexities in ensuring all of
the constituents are in place for the modules to work.
RPM is the perfect tool for us to manage these dependencies and manage
large-scale deployments.
We also have a client who is controlling the software upgrades of their
remote network perimeter management clients, also using our RPMManager.

|
Those bits aren't the sins I was refering to (they would be the bits
where someone allowed system administrators to write OO code -
packageList.py for example).
up2date has been around since 1.5 when there was no ssl socket support
within Python, the SecretLabs xmlrpclib stuff wasn't part of the core
then either.
ssl support is now native, so it would make sense to use it.
The rpclib code also unfortunately contains the artifact that whoever
implemented it completely failed to realise that there is basic http
authentication support within XML-RPC. It is simply a matter of placing
a colon-delimited user/password in the url.
All of code defining and plugging in those proxy transports is
irrelevant. We can greatly simplify the code base by removing it.
xmlrpclib is reliable and very well understood. I'd not be so sure
about what's in the up2date 'extensions'.
| up2date is not an open source project. It is open source -software-
| (feel free to embrace/extend it all you want), but to date it has been
| developed strictly in-house in RHN to meet specific Red Hat goals.
| That could conceivably change, given the right set of circumstances,
| but it would need to line up with the goals RH and RHN have in mind

|
I absolutely agree. I am quite confident I understand RH's position on
this with regard to the real IP of it's business and the competitive
advantage it derives from these technologies. We take a very similar view.
We already have a up2date client with all of the afore-mentioned changes
which meets our objectives.
However, if we remain aligned with RH/Fedora, then clients can access
our channels with existing software. They can also still connect to
RH to get their OS layer, which they may prefer.
This is certainly an attractive proposition to us, and we've thus
approached you regarding merging some of these changes as (i) they do
represent a fairly logical maintenance path for this software anyway;
(ii) the cost to us of retro-fitting is about the same as contributing.
We are certainly prepared to make available resources both now and in
the future to facilitate whatever we can agree. Let's continue talking
to see exactly what that is.

Re: up2date and XML-RPC GET
by Alan Milligan
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
| The GETs in up2dare are completely outside of the context of an XMLRPC
| request.
In rpcServer.py, you explicitly set the HTTP request method to GET
whilst deliberately using XML-RPC as the transport. This is completely
inside the context of your XML-RPC.
At this point, you've effectively created your own transmission protocol
- - but you're still calling it XML-RPC ...
| Nothing about the XMLRPC spec says 'you cannot use GET
| requests in conjunction with actual XMLRPC calls.'
No, nothing in the HTTP specification forbids you doing this. The
XML-RPC specification only refers to HTTP PUT behaviour - anything
outside this is therefore dependent upon the underlying HTTP
implementation of your web server and thus outside the boundary
specified by the XML-RPC protocol.
Obviously, our implementation differs from yours.
I am simply stating that if you say you are using a protocol, then use
it. If you have derived something slightly more proprietry, then that's
fine, and it's up to us to then implement the other end if we wish to
use your client.
But certainly the derivation should be physically distinguishable from
it's parent so that we have an opportunity to register the correct
handler. That is the cause of my complaint.

up2date development
by Alan Milligan
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Sorry, I should have started this in a separate thread to begin with, so
please bear with me for continuing here.
As stated earlier, we have a firm agenda to ensure up2date remains both
that current with Python and a generalised rpm gui tool.
As with the earlier post, I'm not too concerned about missing FC3
cutoff, we're all committed to the long-term of Fedora.
As outlined, removing the OpenSSL package, rpclib, and other sins, is by
no means trivial (although not that complicated either). But it is
certainly too complex to expect bugzilla to usefully manage the process.
At the least, it requires coordination and discussion to agree that all
parties interests are met - I am not interested in doing work that's not
going to be accepted, nor in working upon out of date, irrelevant
images, or difficult back-ports.
Can I please be put in touch with the affected RH people (on or off the
list), so we can decide upon a manner to proceed, somewhat in the vane
of other open projects we all know and love?
Cheers, Alan

This looks better.
The point of the object is that we SHOULD have macros for this, it's
completely synonymous with the existing Perl macros. I don't
particularly care what the names are either so long as we agree them.
I'm also not too concerned if they make FC3, so long as we get them
agreed - then we can cut specs across at our convenience.
As you are aware, there are many projects which graciously provide specs
in their tarballs too. By clearly defining the direction, these
providers can also migrate their specs at their leisure.
How about agreeing the definitive list and releasing it in the next most
convenient release of rpm?

Default browser of FC3?
by Panu Matilainen
Is FC3 really going to ship with Epiphany as the default browser? I mean
.. uh, there's this other, far more capable yet very user friendly
browser there called Firefox. Epiphany doesn't even let me arrange my
bookmarks the way I want them :( Not to mention utter lack of
configurability for things like allowing popups from certain sites etc.

Awesome job
by Paul Iadonisi
Just a quick note to say 'thanks' to everyone who has contributed to
the testing of FC3 and contributed to great ideas for releases moving
forward. Like a lot of others, I've aired my share of complaints
(though I don't think I've been *too* ornery), but overall I'm almost
happy enough with even the current FC3T3+updates to upgrade my main
desktop to it. Almost -- I'm not crazy enough to actually do it. With
my luck, a deep, lurking ext3/selinux related filesystem corruption
problem will rear its ugly head *just* after I do the upgrade. If there
is a problem like that, I just hope it's found and squashed before
release.
I'm *really* looking forward to seeing how the scaled back selinux
policy helps to get it deployed far and wide. I haven't read through
the whole paper yet, but "The Inevitability of Failure: The Flawed
Assumption of Security in Modern Computing Environments"
(http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/papers/inevit-abs.cfm) co-authored by
Stephen Smalley and others at the NSA had me nodding my head in violent
agreement through the first few sections. The IT world *needs*
*something* at the OS level to improve security, and I'm anxious to see
how Fedora Core 3 users react to selinux as a possible answer to some
security problems. I'd love to hear stories of thwarted attacks thanks
to selinux. Or even where it failed needs improvement -- but let's hope
for not-so-serious problems.
And there are most definitely some improvements in Gnome 2.8 that make
me think that maybe, just maybe we've finally caught up, or at least
almost caught up to the to the Windows/MAC world in the area of
usability. (I'm primarily talking about areas we've *needed* to catch
up, of course. There are definitely some gross things we need to leave
behind.)
So great job, everybody, and I'll race you all to be the first to
install FC3 when it's released. Doubt I'll win, though, with all you
folks at universities with uber-fast connections.
