Hi all, is this announce from Fluendo referenced here: http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=13078 already being discussed at Fedora Legal? It would be really nice to finally have mp3 support OUTB in Fedora. Cheers and Happy Christmas Gianluca

Mirrors list needs to be livened up.
by Eric Wood 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

I've wondered about this for years. I'v already emailed ftp+fedora(a)redhat.com about this idea. The mirrors list (http://fedora.redhat.com/Download/mirrors.html) could be livened up with some sortable stat columns (by country) showing: 1. Link Up/Down 2. Bandwidth 3. Mirrors the FC1,2,3,4,5... Development,etc. directories. 4. The Latest Dev Build Date/Has Lastest Updates 5. Days out of date for each of the sections. 6. Maybe even a torrent seed. People come and go and they typically *want* to use a mirror if they could just get a good recomendation of one. I'm just saying that the mirror pages could be made much more useful. -eric wood

FC5 and Yum Plugins
by Brian Long (brilong) 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

I was wondering what folks thought about including a few yum plugins out-of-the-box on FC5. I've got a MythTV setup a home running FC4, but I add ATRPMS and FreshRPMs repos to be able to easily install MythTV and satisfy its requirements. I believe other users of Fedora are in the same boat; we have to use third-party repos but we don't want them ever overriding Fedora RPMs. I've manually installed the "protectbase" and "fastestmirror" plugins from the yum-utils tarball (they are not included in the yum-utils RPM or subpackages yet). I would think installing protectbase by default on FC5 and protecting all Fedora official repos would be excellent. I added protect=1 to fedora.repo, fedora-updates.repo and fedora-extras.repo after making sure the plugin was enabled and yum.conf had "plugins=1". This allows me to run the following command without AtRPMS changing any RPMs that are included in [base], [updates] or [extras]: yum --enablerepo=atrpms --enablerepo=freshrpms update Normally, I have atrpms and freshrpms disabled; base, updates and extras are enabled. Without protectbase installed, atrpms wants to provide updates to xorg-X11 and various other packages which I don't want. However, it provides a bunch of MythTV updates I do want (about 30 RPMs or so). Since I don't want to iterate manually through all the MythTV updates, I find protectbase a good compromise. I would think it would be in the best interest of the Fedora team to install protectbase by default, enable it and protect Fedora repos. If power users want to disable it, it's very easy. Am I off-base in this request? :) /Brian/ -- Brian Long | | | IT Data Center Systems | .|||. .|||. Cisco Linux Developer | ..:|||||||:...:|||||||:.. Phone: (919) 392-7363 | C i s c o S y s t e m s

Fedora meeting Mono Half-Way
by Benjy Grogan 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Hello: I know this topic has been mentioned over and over, and everyone is irritated by it. But why not meet the Mono project half-way? Why can't the hal-sharp and the dbus-sharp, and gtk-sharp add-ons be included in the fedora packages? At the moment Fedora seems to want absolutely nothing to do with Mono. Why not try to go a little farther and include mono interfaces to dbus, hal, gnome, etc. This means that if someone does install Mono then all the system libraries are ready to do some C# programming. And if a user doesn't install Mono, then the interfaces will lie there useless. Look at it this way, Fedora should try to do the smallest amount possible to embrace Mono. Make it easier on the repositories that do include Mono, so that if I want to install Beagle or F-Spot, I can leave the system libraries on Fedora alone. There are some killer-apps built using Mono. Fedora should get cheeky and see what they can get away. Benjy

lib problem KDE3.5.0
by Dave R 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

I recently tried building packages of kde-3.5.0 on FC3, during compiling ran into error of non existent file for /lib/libattr.la and /lib/libacl.la to correct libattr.la I made a symlink in /lib. I didn't really like this method but seems to have worked I noticed for libacl-devel libacl.la has been removed by the spec file. If I removed the rm line would this cause any issues i've seen patches circulating for other distr. that add hook and syml to /lib for attr. >From the dist that I looked into /usr/lib seems to be the norm. correct me if I'm wrong but should this be addressed in KDE itself. Anyone care to shed some light on this would be greatly appreciated -- mobile_tux

lastest boot.iso crashes during install - possible dmraid cause
by Eric Wood 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else. I grabed the lastest boot.iso from: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/develop… and it crashed right at the detection of the harddisks. I'm trying to give some feedback to Peter Jones's call for dmraid testing: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2005-December/msg00474.ht… Kernel crashes with and without the dmraid boot option. Just a guess but the new kernel may be trying to deal with the raid-1 metadata but I really don't know. Thanks, -eric wood Current Config: Shuttle X SFF 1.6Ghz 2 x 80 Gig SATA drives w/ BIOS fake raid-1 mirror (Via chipset) currently running FC4.

Status of docbook to pdf toolchain on Fedora?
by John Ellson 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Can someone tell me the status of, or point me to documentation on the docbook xml to pdf toolchain on Fedora? I gather from a 2004 thread in fedora-docs-list that the toolchain was moving to fop, but I don't see any fop yet in core or extras. If you try to install fop separately it requires Jimi or JAI packages from Sun and Sun's installer scripts no longer work on Fedora because somebody broke "tail +n". Probably fixable, but what is the right direction for me to pursue? I tried db2pdf but it seems to expect sgml, rather than xml? John

OOo 2.0 with Bluecurve icon set
by Igor Jagec 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Is there any chance of seeing the Bluecurve icon set in the new OOo 2.0 in upcoming FC5? I don't like the default icon set very much, and the Bluecurve icon set on OOo 1.1.x branch looked great. It would be very nice to follow the tradition since RHEL5 will be based on FC5, AFAIK ;) Cheers! -- Igor Jagec
