upgrading RH 9 system->Fedora with iso files and apt only
by Didier Casse 06 Aug '25

06 Aug '25

I have the yarrow's iso files on my HD in a RH9 system. Let's say I want to upgrade selected packages using an "apt-get install" pointing to my iso-mounted files, how do I do it? i.e I mount the iso into some /mnt/yarrow1, /mnt/yarrow 2 etc.. Then what is the complete procedure to make my apt look into my own HD to upgrade packages. Can anybody redirect me to the correct resource or some literature hanging on the web? Thanks. Assume also that I do not wish to burn CDs! I do not want to use apt-cdrom. Thanks. With kind regards, Didier. --- PhD student Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) 5 Research Link, Singapore 117603 Email: slsbdfc at nus dot edu dot sg \or\ didierbe at sps dot nus dot edu dot sg Website: http://ssls.nus.edu.sg

autoconf breakage on x86_64.
by Sam Varshavchik 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

I don't know the right way to fix this, but something is definitely broken; and something needs to be fixed, one way or the other. The question is what exactly needs to be fixed. Consider something like this: LIBS="-lresolv $LIBS" AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC(res_query, AC_MSG_RESULT(yes), AC_MSG_RESULT(no)) Here's what happens on x86_64: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -I.. -I./.. conftest.c -lresolv >&5 /tmp/ccW7EeDX.o(.text+0x7): In function `main': /home/mrsam/src/courier/authlib/configure:5160: undefined reference to `res_query' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:5147: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: [ blah blah blah ] | /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 | builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ | char res_query (); | int | main () | { | res_query (); | ; | return 0; | } The same exact test on FC1 x86 will work. The reason appears to be that you have to #include <resolv.conf> on x86_64 in order to succesfully pull res_query() out of libresolv.so. You don't need to do this on x86, and the test program generated by AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC does not include any headers, but uses a manual prototype. So, what now?

APT repository problems with up2date
by Jos Vos 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Hi, Before I start digging in the up2date code myself, maybe someone can comment on this: I have a problem when using up2date up2date with my self-created APT repositories. When updating, it complains about conflicting files: it just thinks that a long list of directories that are shared among packages conflict with each other. Apt-get itself (and synaptic) seems to work fine with the same repository, only with up2date there is a problem. Also, up2date with a yum repository of then same package set works fine, as does yum itself. FWIW: I generate my APT repositories with --flat --bloat.

gnupg newpg gpgme gpgme03 cryptplug isuses
by Dennis Gilmore 30 Oct '04

30 Oct '04

Recently the version of libgcrypt was increased to 1.1.94 as a result of this newpg would not build against the newer libgcrypt i sent an email to gcrypt-devel list and this is what i got back <quote> Don't build newpg at all. It has been superseded by gnupg-1.9.x . You would need an old libgcrypt < 1.1.42 to build it. The configure sscript was not able to detect newer versions with a changed API. </quote> we have a problem here seems we no longer need newpg but we need things it provides for gpgme gpgme03 cryptplug gpa kgpg (which doesnt complain so much just says its not there) to get these things it provides we need to go to the newer gnupg or we need to revert back to the older libgcrypt. being so late in the cycle i dont know which would be best. so i thought id ask before filling a bug against something. it does need to be fixed before final is out as people will complain if they cant decrypt email in kmail or mutt gpa doesnt work etc. i think we should probably go back to the old version of libgcrypt Dennis

gqview removed from rawhide
by Christopher Aillon 27 Sep '04

27 Sep '04

Just a note that gqview just got removed from rawhide. It has the same mission statement as gthumb and uses raster code internally. Yes, I know there are people who use it still. I suggest this can move over to Fedora Extras if people really want it.

Traffic shaping broken with kernel errata
by Chris Adams 17 Sep '04

17 Sep '04

There is a new kernel config option CLS_U32_PERF that, when set, requires a new version of the iproute utils to be able to set traffic filters. Either this options needs to be remove from the kernel or the iproute utils need to be upgraded. I commented on this in bugzilla #129185 (jar(a)pcuf.fi had already opened a ticket against iproute). -- Chris Adams <cmadams(a)hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

clean up updates/testing
by Farkas Levente 15 Sep '04

15 Sep '04

hi, is there any reason why outdated rpms are in updates/testing/ directory? eg: in http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/2/i… kernel and xorg-x11 packages? imho it'd be useful to delete them since they are very confusing now. just my 2c. yours. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Where to report a missing component in bugzilla?
by Matthias Saou 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

Hi, Probably a stupid question, but where should I report a missing component in bugzilla? Against what? I thought of doing it in the bugzilla product, but got scared of being flamed by a bugzilla developer if that's not the right place ;-) My problem is that sysfsutils (which is from the sysfsutils source rpm, I've checked) isn't listed in the current Fedora Core Development components, and I need to report that it's missing /sbin/ldconfig scriplets :-) Matthias -- Clean custom Red Hat Linux rpm packages : http://freshrpms.net/ Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) - Linux kernel 2.6.8-1.521 Load : 0.16 0.58 0.55

08 Sep '04

Announcement @ http://www.open-xchange.org Anyone working on packaging for fedora? I guess one issue is that it requires a JDK. AFAIK, there isn't one standard JDK for Fedora.
