FC5 "rpmbuild -ta" problems
by Marcio Oliveira
Hi there,
I got many error messages on FC5 fully updated trying to compile tar
packages using "rpmbuild -ta tar_package.tar.gz" command.
I notice that rpmbuild was executing "/bin/tar xOvf - Specfile" and
"/bin/tar xOvf - <package_name>.spec" commands to extract .spec files from
the tar packages but without success. The rpmbuild command always create
"/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/tar\:\ Pattern\ matching\ characters\ used\ in\ file\
names.\ Please\," and "tar\:\ You\ must\ specify\ one\ of\ the\
\`-Acdtrux\'\ options" files in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS directory.
I solved this problem adding "-" before tar options and "--wildcards" to
tar command in build.c file. (see attached patch).
Is this problem a rpmbuild bug? There is a way to fix if without patch /
recompile rpm packages?
These are the steps to reproduce this problem:
# wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.18.tar.bz2
# tar -xjvf linux-2.6.18.tar.bz2 -C /usr/src
# cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.18
# make oldconfig
# make rpm
make clean
set -e; cd ..; ln -sf /usr/src/linux- 2.6.18 kernel-2.6.18
set -e; cd ..; tar -cz --exclude SCCS --exclude BitKeeper --exclude .svn
--exclude CVS --exclude .pc --exclude .hg --exclude .git -f
kernel-2.6.18.tar.gz kernel-2.6.18/*
set -e; cd ..; rm kernel-2.6.18
set -e; \
/bin/sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.18/scripts/mkversion > /usr/src/linux-2.6.18
/.tmp_version
set -e; \
mv -f /usr/src/linux-2.6.18/.tmp_version /usr/src/linux-2.6.18/.version

FC6 Pre-release (Test4)
by Will Woods
Greetings!
I know many of you have had problems installing FC6t3. Let me offer my
apologies, and my sincere thanks to you for *trying* to help us test
Fedora Core.
We still want your help! In order to make that happen, we've decided to
do an early release of pre-FC6 disk images. They will only be available
by bittorrent, in order to save us time waiting for the mirrors to sync.
This release should fix the most common bugs preventing installation of
FC6t3, including:
#206913: Anaconda exception on upgrade from FC4
#206876: GRUB claims initrd is too big for memory on x86_64
#208080: ahci/ata_piix mixup causes Anaconda to not find SATA disks
#206453: installed x86_64/ppc system missing initrd, cannot boot
#206202: Anaconda traceback during lvcreate on ppc64
...and others.
We'll make an announcement when the images actually become available.
Let me know if there are any questions.

Yet another dependency question. cups & redhat-lsb ?
by Naoki
We get a lot of these I know, and for the most part the disk space saved
isn't worth the trouble. But then again the less junk installed on a
server the better. So on that note :
# rpm -e cups
error: Failed dependencies:
/usr/bin/lp is needed by (installed) redhat-lsb-3.1-10.3.x86_64
/usr/bin/lpr is needed by (installed) redhat-lsb-3.1-10.3.x86_64
If nobody can see why redhat-lsb would need lp I'll file a request. I'd
love to get server builds as cut down as possible.

ctrl-c during boot != good
by Dax Kelson
SysVinit-2.86-12
----------------
* Thu Sep 21 2006 Bill Nottingham <notting(a)redhat.com> - 2.86-12
- set controlling tty for /etc/rc so that ctrl-c can be passed to hung
services (#184340)
I don't have the permission to read the bug, so I could be interpreting
this wrong.
You do *not* want users to be able to press ctrl-c during boot up.
Otherwise they can completely fsck the starting of daemons or commands
(like remounting / rw), possibly causing a serious security breach. This
is also a disaster for a kiosk where random malicious joe blows can
screwup and stop the boot.
I filed a bug circa 1997ish to fix the "can press control-c during
bootup" problem. Lets not go backwards.

fedora time bug
by Jason Dravet
I am running today's rawhide and my clock is all screwed up. Truth be told
this has been happening for a couple of weeks now. The clock on the panel
(gnome-applets) shows the time 5 hours into the future. If I adjust date
and time, the current time (greyed out because I use ntp) shows the correct
time. I tried checking and unchecking use UTC and nothing happens. I live
in the central time zone. When I reboot into Windows the time is the
screwed time from rawhide. What is wrong?
Thanks,
Jason

What happened to NetworkManager-vpnc?
by Brian Anderson
Using google I see that there was an fc6 version at one time but all I
can find now is NetworkManager-openvpn. Does this new package take
over? I was a heavy user of NetworkManager-vpnc and was hoping to test
it for FC6.

WIRELES
by Frank S.
Hi is there any chance that FC6 is going to support a wider wireles cards and activate them by default?. I had problems with D-link DWL-G630 and on my destop I had problems with a Zyxel G-302 V3
I would be very nice If the wireles gets configured like UBUNTU
