Stateless Debian Project
by gaurav
Hi,
We have just initiated Stateless Debian Project and we are looking for
active volunteers/developers
Detail of project are given below
Summary
This project was started by Fedora (Redhat) but is no longer in active
development and will not be included in next release of fc4 , this
projects aims to provide longterm commitment to the concept & port it to
100% community based distro like Debian
Stateless Linux converts normal Linux desktop/clients to Stateless
machines or appliances, which means if throw your computer out of window
you still will be able to get exactly same same settings/data when you log
from any other pc in the network ....A single administrator can easily
manage network thousands of desktops ...Stateless Linux centralizes the
state in a Gold server (different from CFengine) and rest of clients
are updated regularly from it . This is different from thin clients as
local processing power and memory of clients is used (or cached client)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/statelessdebian/
Project Goals
1) Port relevant parts of RH State Linux (http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/stateless/) to Debian
2)Extend/integrate/enhance Stateless Linux thru existing projects like DBRL
http://drbl.sourceforge.net/debian/wiki-view/pmwiki-view.php/DRBL/WhatIsDRBL <http://drbl.sourceforge.net/debian/wiki-view/pmwiki-view.php/DRBL/WhatIsDRBL>
and Debian CCD infrastructure, FAI (Fully Automated Installation,http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/)
3) Add cluster support and node monitoring and autonomic capabilities
4)Meets most of OSDL Desktop Linux specification
5) Long term community based , vendor neutral project
6) Member of "Move 2 Debian" project
7) Latter (2nd phase )Add p2p support for directory support(DHT), file storage and retrieval(tuples), state transfer (Bittorent)
to elinimate any need of centralized servers/infrastructure and make it highly scalable (to millions!!)
Right now this project is in pre beta stage and we are preparing Stateless Linux White paper and started porting portions of RH Stateless Linux to Debian .
Any Suggestions/Ideas will appreciated :-) ..if anyone is interested from this list then pl let me know
Regards,
Gaurav

Why not have a template that the packager fills out partially with
%summary, %description, etc., then have a place where the signer puts
the md5sums. That way the packager doesn't have to worry about when the
packages are signed, and the announcement can go out as soon as the
updates are ready.

early-login status?
by Matthew Lenz
I've been trying to follow the early-login changes but don't seem much
discussion on the lists about it, or in the bugzilla entry. Are the
changes to syslog and xfs /etc/rc.d/init.d's still required or is it now
simply a matter of s/rhgb/early-login/g on /etc/grub.conf and enabling
the 3 early-login scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d?
Have any of you tried out recently released http://jw.dyndns.org/initng/
(InitNG)? Anyone see any major CONs to implementing it for FC5? Looks
neater than heck from what I can see.

The manual nature of the current process causes some other problems too --
particularly, the format of the announcements often deviates from the norm
(although people have gotten better about this).

generate src.rpm
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby
Hello,
I saw a lot of documentation on how to rebuild rpm, building rpm from an
src.rpm, but:
How to generate the src.rpm?
Because. I used the src.rpm of someone to generate my rpms, and I would
like people to be abble to use my src.rpms too.
But I dont know how to generate one, from the sources, the patches and
the specfile.
Would you help me? just indicate a link if you have one.

Boot process stops at level 3 and 5 (or rawhide ate my baby)
by mbneto
Since saturday my fc3+rawhide-updates system started to act strangely.
When I boot runlevel 5 or 3 it hangs during the boot process. I can't
ctrl-alt-del.
It happens with all kernel versions that I have, even "old" ones that
worked before saturday, like 2.6.11-1.1240_FC4.
If I boot single mode, do a service network start and init 3 I can use
the machine ok.
Any ideas of what may be wrong ? or even how can I provide more
information about it ?

applications which depend on esound
by Marius Andreiana
With alsa 1.0.9rc3, dmix is enabled by default and it works (with
gstreamer too).
There are several applications which depend on esound which seems weird,
as I thought these use gstreamer:
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) nautilus-2.10.0-3.i386
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) gnome-media-2.10.0-2.i386
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) gok-1.0.3-1.i386
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed)
control-center-2.10.0-4.i386
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) smpeg-0.4.4-9.i386
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) libgnome-2.10.0-2.i386
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) gnome-session-2.10.0-2.i386
esound >= 1:0.2.27 is needed by (installed)
libgnomeui-2.10.0-1.i386
Should I file upstream bugs for these to remove direct esound depencies
and require only gstreamer?
These depencies seem ok to me until esound is dropped, as these are
sound systems:
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) arts-1.4.0-1.i386
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed)
gstreamer-plugins-0.8.8-5.i386
Note1: alsa-lib 1.0.9rc3 will be in updates soon, now only at
http://people.redhat.com/stransky/alsa-lib/
Note2: dmix doesn't solve "sound over network" problem. This still
requires a sound server (e.g. MAS, Jack, esd), but the sound server can
be implemented at gstreamer framework level, not application level.
