Lobby for the re-inclusion of php-imap (and imap c-client)
by Derek P. Moore
Howdy,
I'd like to lobby for the re-inclusion of php-imap (and, consequently, imap
c-client [and, if I'm lucky, imap-utils]).
As a user of PHP, it's very inconvenient to be missing such a useful and widely
used piece of PHP. I'm doubly annoyed as a Horde hacker, as it requires PHP's
c-client functions.
I understand ditching wu-imapd, etc. But c-client is still very useful,
especially in the PHP world.
Horde is, I believe, one of the most important free software projects out there
at the moment. Not many people are yet using the development branch of code,
but it has come (and is coming) a long way. It's thorough, stable, usable,
actively developed, and widely used (at least the old code base is widely
used). It has a very flexible and extensible framework, and it kicks the asses
of its competitors.
To overlook Horde is a big mistake. If users have to hack together weird sets
of custom-compiled RPMs to slap Horde on a Fedora box, that's going to annoy a
lot of people as Horde 3.0 is released.
The c-client packages never need to be installed unless someone explicitly wants
them. imap-devel is required to compile PHP with php-imap turned on, but Red
Hat's build environment should have that on hand.
Normal c-client-ignorant users never need to know that imap-2002e and
imap-devel-2002e are helping to fill up the 500 MB of free space on FC2 disc 4.
(While we're filling up FC2 disc 4, imap-utils could be useful for people no
matter what IMAP server they're running [especially if they're tryin' to
migrate their old mbox folders to the new Cyrus IMAP server].)
Is this a pipe dream?

qa-assistant version 0.1
by Toshio Kuratomi
Hello all,
As mentioned earlier today, I have been working on a graphical python
app to help with Quality Assurance of Fedora Extras. While it doesn't
have all the features I have planned for it, it does provide enough to
allow a QA newbie to run through the standard checklist and generate a
review template to upload to Fedora.us bugzilla.
Tarball is at:
http://www.tiki-lounge.com/~toshio/software/qa-assistant/qa-assistant-0.1...
Since this is a python script, there's no compiling to be done. You
need to have python2.2 (2.3 is untested right now), libxml2-python,
pygtk2, pygtk2-libglade, gnome-python2, and rpm-python (If you have yum
and a few redhat-config-* utilities, these should already be
installed.) Just download, untar, cd into the directory, and
./qa-assistant [PATH TO SRPM]
QA Assistant is a bit inflexible about loading an SRPM to begin the
review, right now. You have to specify it on the commandline. Once
loaded, the application will present you with a checklist that you can
cycle through, checking off Pass, Fail, Non-Blocker, or Not-Applicable
and selecting whether to send the output to the review or not. Clicking
on a cell in the Output Column will allow you to edit the message.
Pressing Ctrl-T will toggle the Preview Pane which shows you
approximately what the Review will look like. Pressing Ctrl-P will
"Publish" the review to a file.
Screenshot of QA-Assistant's Main Interface:
http://www.tiki-lounge.com/~toshio/software/qa-assistant/Main.png
Screenshot of QA-Assistant's Preview Pane:
http://www.tiki-lounge.com/~toshio/software/qa-assistant/Preview.png
Screenshot of a completed Review:
http://www.tiki-lounge.con/~toshio/software/qa-asistant/Review.jpg
I need some help moving QA-Assistant forward. If you'd care to
contribute I need:
- Feedback! What works, what doesn't. What should I fix first and what
should I hold off on?
- XML authors to look at my checklist format and spot anything that
should be implemented some other way
- XML writers to add, subtract, multiply, and divide the fedoraus.xml
checklist description or create new checklists from it.
- Programmers who can take a look at some of my pygtk hacks and tell me
how I could improve the speed and beauty of the app. (I had to write a
custom cell renderer for the checklist's Treeview and another custom
widget for the Preview Pane which is why both of them are tolerable but
not perfect.)
- Programmers to tackle any items in the TODO file.
Suggestions and code welcome.
-Toshio

Top secret bugs?
by Scott Sloan
Was poking around and posting a bug in mozilla and rhythmbox this
afternoon and preview some other bugs that looked interesting. This one
caught my eye primarily for what I can't see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=117908
Is this an bug in bugzilla or are their suppose to be bugs members can't
see for their protection? Or one really weird April Fool's joke?

My initial experiances with FC2-test2
by Chris Chabot
Hi All, just wanted to share a few of my observations while running
FC2-test2, and maybe make life a little easier for people with the same
problems as me.
1) My machine is currently equiped with a ATI Radeon 9800XT card,
XFree86 (scrap that, xorg nowadays) has no support for it, and your
forced to run in VESA mode. While this is fine for a server machine
where you only run the occasional vnc server or a system-config-...
tool, for a workstation it's just to damn dog slow.. Getting the get ATI
supplied driver to work with the 2.6.x kernel seemed imposible (with
some source hacking it compiled, but the kernel driver still failed with
some 'invalid address' option); So i ended up downgrading my FC2-test2
instalation to a 2.4 kernel.. What you do is to download the latest
2.4.x kernel rpm's from the FC1 repository, then edit your
/etc/modules.conf (i had to add usb, sound and ethernet card aliases in
there), re-make your initrd for this kernel (mkinitrd), and setup lilo
or grub for the new kernel.. After this the ATI driver compiled and
installed without any problems, and i have fully accelerated X again
(and 3D support). I won't say that 2.4.x is slower or faster then 2.6.x,
but the graphical lack of speed with non accelerated X drivers, makes
this downgrade a huge speedup
2) I have a wireless optical mouse thingy, which only works on USB. I
noticed that the default movement speed of a mouse in X is quite slow,
so i went to the gnome-control-center to speed things up a bit.. To my
supprise i could slide sliders to my hearts content, but with no visible
changes.. It turns out the default XF86Config is configured for 2 mouse
inputs (old style psaux mice, and usb mice).. And gnome-control-center's
mouse applet only changed the settings for the core mouse.. Resolution
was to remove the "Mouse0" device input section, rename the device id
for DevInputMice to Mouse0, and remove the DevInputMice reference in the
ServerLayout section... After this the mouse configuration set the mouse
speed for my usb mouse nicely again
3) While trying to do a big upgrade from FC2-test1 to the recent
development tree, YUM crashed out on me.. After some digging in it's
python sources i found that it fails on a RPM package version compare,
where one package has no 'release' tag.. While it looks like YUM should
deal with the release being 'None', it didn't.. The workaround i
applied to get things working again was to edit
/usr/share/yum/rpmUtils.py and at line 121 add these lines:
if r2 == None:
r2 = '0'
4) My Audigy with only digital sound out... Sigh this has always been
and always be a problem it seems. The new 2.6 and the old 2.4 drivers
support the card perfectly, but have no way to configure it for using
the digital sound output instead of the analog one; Or atleast as far as
i know off! A work around used to be to compile the old emu10k1 tools
and use it's tools to configure the card for digital out, but it seems
with the new compilers, they won't compile anymore.. Haven't found a
workaround for this yet, so for now my system is silent and without
sound.. Anyone know a workaround/fix for this?
Well thats it for now.. All in all i love the way things are shaping up,
that the above are the only complaints means the rest is working to my
satisfaction

Install CDROM boot problems
by Shahms King
Neither FC1 nor FC2 test 1 install CDROMs will boot from my laptop's
firewire cdrom. It's not a problem of the installer not working, I
don't see any indication that any attempt was made to boot from CDROM at
all, no ISOLINUX message, nothing. The CDs boot just fine in my desktop
and the RedHat 9 discs will boot (and install) without a problem.
I found some similar bugs in bugzilla when going from RH7.3 -> RH8, but
nothing more recent than that. Is this a known issue? What changed from
RH9 -> FC1 that might be causing this?
