kernel compile produces 1.2+GB of data
by Dax Kelson
A freshly, not updated FC2 box:
du -hs /usr/src/linux/linux-2.6.5-1.358/
220M /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/
cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/
make mrproper
cp configs/kernel-2.6.5-i686.config .config
make oldconfig
make
du -hs /usr/src/linux/linux-2.6.5-1.358/
1.2GB (or thereabouts)
I have done no more examination, before I do, does anyone know what's
up? The resultant kernel and modules are fine FWIW, so no problem there,
just the size is the issue.
On a SUSE Linux 9.1 with the shipped 2.6.4-something, the final du
results are ~400MB.

Preliminary OpenAFS 1.3.x RPM for Fedora Core 2
by Matthew Miller
I know OpenAFS isn't well-loved at Red Hat, but we're kinda dependent on it
here. (Maybe the in-kernel AFS will be a large part of our solution in the
future, but it needs a lot more work.) And, as of, um, two days ago, OpenAFS
CVS + some patches builds and runs on Fedora Core 2. So, I've put together a
preliminary RPM, and I'd like some help making it as perfect as possible.
<http://www.mattdm.org/misc/openafs/>
Please read the README.RPM and TODO.RPM files included in the src.rpm. (Also
conveniently on the above web site, which is a little ugly because I'm lazy.)
Specific caveats: it's very cutting edge, and some things (SMP, for example)
don't work at all. You may get PAG support if you rebuild your kernel to
export the syscall table -- I haven't tried. Otherwise, you won't.
Any bugs in the new init script or in the specfile, or suggestions for
improvements, please let me know!
Thanks!

sigwaitinfo() does not work in FC2?
by Xu, Jin J
Hi, all,
I wrote a small program to handle thousands of TCP connections and tens
of segments each second on each connection. To do this, I use rtsignal
to notify application when socket is ready for read. The basic idea of
this program is like this:
After program start, block the SIGRTMIN and SIGIO in the main thread by:
sigset_t sset;
sigemptyset(&sset);
sigaddset( &sset, SIGRTMIN );
sigaddset( &sset, SIGIO );
pthread_sigmask( SIG_BLOCK, &sset, NULL );
In one thread, accept the connection request and set signal on it:
...
Int fd = accept( ......);
flags = fcntl(sock, F_GETFL, 0);
fcntl(sock, F_SETFL, flags | O_NONBLOCK | O_ASYNC );
fcntl(sock, F_SETSIG, SIGRTMIN );
fcntl(sock, F_SETOWN, sigpid );
...
And in the work thread, use sigwaitinfo to get the rtsignal from queue.
sigset_t sset;
sigemptyset( &sset );
sigaddset( &sset, SIGIO );
sigaddset( &sset, SIGRTMIN );
while ( true ) {
int sig = sigwaitinfo( &sset, &siginfo );
if ( sig == SIGRTMIN ) {
if ( siginfo.si_band & POLL_IN ) {
do_read_pack( siginfo.si_fd );
}
else if ( siginfo.si_band & POLL_HUP ) {
do_disconn( siginfo.si_fd );
}
else if ( siginfo.si_band & POLL_ERR ) {
do_error( siginfo.si_fd );
}
}
}
This program can work on most of the platforms, but, in FC2, the work
thread is blocked on sigwaitinfo while the signal is queuing in the
kernel. (I can see the number in /proc/sys/kernel/rtsig-nr is increasing
rapidly). At last, the queue overflow, and the sigwaitinfo returns a
SIGIO.
My environments is FC2 (2.6.6-1.435smp) on an old dual P3 Xeon,
glibc-2.3.3-27. This program can work in RHEL 3.0 AS (2.4.21-9.ELsmp,
glibc-2.3.2-95.6).
Has anybody ever meet the same problem as me? Or anybody has any ideas?
Thank you in advance

Initrd Help - Upgrading the kernel
by Ivan Gyurdiev
Hi, I'm sorry for posting this but I'd like to ask for a favor.
I'm stuck and unable to upgrade the kernel. That's because the initrd
(which I need to load xfs) is generated post-install, and losetup does
not work on my system. It fails with memlock: Unable to lock into
memory. I filed a bug, but after some googling around I found a message
from Warren Togami that this issue is kernel-related and has been fixed
in later releases. The problem is that I'm stuck at this particular
release (414) with no other kernel. Knoppix chroot has some permission
issue that won't let me do anything useful.
So the favor I'd like to ask is: can someone send me the generated
initrd for the 448 kernel, with the xfs module in particular on it?
I don't do raid or lvm or anything strange like that. I'd really
appreciate some help. I'll test SElinux and the kernel and everything
afterwards...

packages that BuildRequire: gettext that need to change to gettext-devel
by Colin Walters
Hi,
I recently got a bug (#125042) that suggested that gstreamer should
BuildRequire cvs. This sounded very odd, so I investigated a bit. It
turns out that we invoke the gettext program "autopoint", which
internally uses cvs (which seems crack to me, but that's another issue).
The "autopoint" program is presently included in the "gettext" package.
Since it's really autopoint that requires CVS, it seems to me that the
package containing autopoint should BuildRequire: cvs. However, since
gettext is essentially part of the base system, this would force cvs in
too.
So as an alternative, I'd like to move autopoint (and probably more
development tools) into gettext-devel. See bug #126071. This brings up
the main point: a lot of packages presently BuildRequire: gettext, and I
think all of them will need to change to gettext-devel. This is the
list from rawhide:
[walters@porkchop fc3]$ for pkg in $(ls -1); do (cd $pkg; latest=$(ls -1 | tail -1); if rpm -qp --requires $latest/SRPMS/$pkg-$latest.src.rpm | grep -q gettext; then echo $pkg; fi); done

Watch Out... missing 'localhost'
by Warren Togami
Please be on the look out for some network configuration tool in FC2
that leaves /etc/hosts without "localhost" entries. I just discovered
that my system /etc/hosts was blank with only the following lines after
using netconfig and neat several times switching between DHCP, static,
and dialup networking... so I don't know what caused it.
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
This seems to have exposed problems of robustness in services IIim and
sendmail. Investigating those now.

Rawhide signatures

When I run up2date, I keep getting "Package xxx does not have a GPG
signature, Aborting." Are these packages really unsigned or do I not
have the right signature imported into RPM?
