Hi all, spectool-1.0.1 is available at the usual place: http://people.redhat.com/nphilipp/spectool Changelog: José Pedro Oliveira <jpo(a)di.uminho.pt>: * variable $VERSION * use "wget -N" to try to preserve timestamp * small cosmetic changes * command options buglet fixed me: * add show_version() on -V, --version * open specfile only when needed Toshio, I plan to address your concerns about options not being optional while non-options are in one of the next versions if not the next one. Promised. Nils -- Nils Philippsen / Red Hat / nphilipp(a)redhat.com "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- B.

SELinux policy -- config tools
by Tim Waugh 06 Mar '04

06 Mar '04

Hi, I'm trying to fix some problems with SELinux policy and system-config-printer. This tool needs to modify /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, and several other files in /etc/cups, but it looks like the policy is preventing it (in enforcing mode). The configuration tool writes a new file (cupsd.conf.new) in the same directory, with the content it wants (derived from cupsd.conf), and tried to rename(cupsd.conf.new,cupsd.conf) -- this fails. I suspect that just writing cupsd.conf directly would work, but I don't want to end up in a situation where a failure half-way through writing causes a broken configuration file in-situ. Probably writing a new file is creating the wrong security context on that file anyway: -rw-r----- 1 root:object_r:cupsd_etc_t root sys 21350 Mar 4 18:17 /etc/cups/cupsd.conf -rw------- 1 system_u:object_r:cupsd_rw_etc_t lp sys 21350 Mar 5 09:39 /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.new but I want to understand what this config tool *should* be doing, and how to make the policy let it do that. Can anyone help? Thanks, Tim. */

Mail about spectool accidentally deleted

Hi there, while just expunging my incoming folder from (mostly) spam I swaw from the corner of my eyes that I erroneously deleted a mail about spectool -- could the one who sent it to me please resend it?

rpm / gpg key question.
by Erik LaBianca 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

I'm trying to include documentation for gpg signature checking in my quickstart guide at http://www.ilsw.com/~erik/fedora-qa-quickstart.html. I'm not sure why this isn't working, but maybe someone can help me. I run rpm --checksig on a package and get rpm --checksig perl-Example-Package-1.0-0.fdr.1.src.rpm perl-Example-Package-1.0-0.fdr.1.src.rpm: (SHA1) DSA sha1 md5 (GPG) NOT OK (MISSING KEYS: GPG#GPG_KEY_ID) So I run gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key GPG_KEY_ID gpg -a --export GPG_KEY_ID > /tmp/key && sudo rpm --import /tmp/key && rm /tmp/key and now rpm -qa gpg-pubkey* reports a bunch of keys. However, rpm --checksig still fails. Why? In addition, in trying to make this work, rpm now has several copies of the same key installed. In addition, since they are duplicate, trying to remove one with sudo rpm -e gpg-pubkey-version-release fails, saying error: "gpg-pubkey-54b2ad8b*" specifies multiple packages What gives? Thanks --erik

Re: include php-imap in FC2 (bug #115535)
by Kaj J. Niemi 05 Mar '04

> I'm also able to package the c-client library based on the previous imap > rpm if that is the conclusion of this discussion. Attached is a suggestion for libc-client.spec. It is based on the imap-2002d package. A shared library is built in addition to the static library. The build code was borrowed from FreeBSD's ports collection mail/cclient where it has been working well. In the base package we install just the shared library while the header files and the static library gets saved for -devel. The .spec and the .src.rpm can be found at <http://www.a51.org/sw/fedora/>. Comments are welcome. // kaj

IMO this really needs to be fixed... > Yes, it needs to be fixed SOON if fedora.us / extra's is going to depend as heavily on gpg as people seem to think it should. Ok. So I wrote a shell script to download a key from the keyserver, attempt to strip excess uid's and signatures, and load it into the fedora keyring. I'd like to see it included in fedora-rpmdeveltools, particularly once it properly strips keys for inclusion in the rpm database. Please check it out at http://www.ilsw.com/~erik/fedora-installkey It works for my key (736A7502). It does not work for Ville Skytta's key (BCD241CB), which was the one I was trying to load in the first place. His key isn't really a problem since a working version of it is included with fedora-rpmdevtools, however I imagine there will be others with the same problem. I have been unable to make it work by hand, so my script is obviously not working fully either. The script currently removes all extra uid's, and all non-self signatures successfully on his key. However, rpm still fails when attempting to check a signed SRPM. I tried manually deleting all signatures except the self signatures from all the uid's, and that didn't work either. What's the magic incantation here? --erik

Fedora Core 1 provides a complete Linux platform built exclusively from open source software. Available at no cost, the release serves the needs of community developers, testers, and other technology enthusiasts who wish to participate in and accelerate the technology development process. As a community forum for advanced development, the Fedora Project provides early visibility to the latest open source technology and serves as a proving ground for technology that may eventually make its way into Red Hat's fully-supported commercial solutions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat contributes development resources, editorial direction and management to the Fedora Project. Red Hat and the Fedora Project would like to thank Justin Forbes for his work organizing, coordinating, and developing this release, along with the many other community members who worked to make this release happen.
