post-beta snapshots
by Jesse Keating
In this release cycle, we actually have working split media installs,
and getting those staged, along with the DVD, for i386, x86_64, ppc, and
source is proving quite challenging, especially when trying to stage
Live images for Desktop, KDE, i686/x86_64 (and any "spins" I have other
time for). I just don't think we can do a compose + sync to torrents
(and now we have to sync multiple torrent locations so that the trackers
don't suck) in one day. Also, I don't think we've ever had a successful
snapshot the first day we tried it (Thursdays).
I'm thinking we need to adjust this slightly, attempt the snapshot on
Wed instead, fix anything we can leading to Thursday, spend Thursday
creating the content, Thursday night staging the content and releasing
it on Friday. This puts the snapshot content a day older than rawhide,
but that should be fine.
Anybody think this is a bad idea?

xorg-x11-drv-evdev-7.0.1-2 bad!
by Petrus de Calguarium
evdev driver 7.0.1-2 makes keyboard input impossible. All key-presses are done in triplicate, including backspace, so it is impossible to correct the erroneous input.

Re: None of the Above (was Re: Sendmail still default?)

For informational purposes, not meant as more fuel for any kind of

Apple uses launchd for that.
The daily and weekly cleanups are run at 03:15, the monthly at 05:30.
Since many people turn off or sleep their systems, these rarely get
run on most Macs.
There are usually flame wars on Mac lists about how important these
are to run manually if your usage patterns don't kick them off
automatically.
It calls /usr/sbin/periodic with config files in /etc/periodic
The man page for periodic has "BSD System Manager's Manual" at the top.
Of the few BSD machines I have had to admin, I've never run across
"periodic" - it was a new one on me.
> Does it run sendmail or some equivalent of it?
There is an /etc/postfix directory with an alias file that contains :
# Person who should get root's mail. Don't receive mail as root!
#root: you
postfix isn't used AFAIK, and definitely not used for user notification.
I never see it in the Activity Monitor or with ps

There is no root as most know it on OS X.
The GUI uses a UAC kind of thing to promote privileges, and you can
use sudo on the CLI. To have either work your account needs to be in
the wheel group. You get in the wheel group by checking a "administer
this computer" type checkbox in System Preferences => Users.
Or you can use NetInfo on 10.0 through 10.4 if you prefer that or are
an old NeXT admin ;)
OS X has a /Applications/Utilities/Console application that lets you
sift through log files in a GUI.
A better solution IMHO than logwatch ( for a desktop user ). No daily
"junk" as it has been called, but if you need to research an issue,
the log files are easy to look at without "cat" or "less". The person
looking still needs to know what they are looking at - raw log data
not a filtered executive overview.
The SMART reporting is very poor. You have to manually run /
Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility to see if there are problems
reported by SMART ( no daemon ), and the report is binary, thumbs up
or thumbs down without any detail. Usually by the time you check the
SMART status, an experienced person has a good seat-of-the-pants
hunch the hard drive is going south and uses Disk Utility for
confirmation. I don't know if the desktop SMART notification floated
earlier in this thread is currently implemented or if it was a
proposal, but either way that it is far superior to e-mail
notification, and does not exist on OS X ( or Windows that I know of ).

Collapsing DVD and CD torrents into one
by Jesse Keating
Most torrent clients I've seen today allow you to pick and choose which
files you wish to download. As such, does it make sense to collapse the
DVD and CD torrents into a single torrent and allow people to use the
client to pick which they want? Are there pros/cons to this?

text-to-speech doesn't work
by Petrus de Calguarium
I am using Fedora release 9.92 (Rawhide). For some time now, likely late in Fedora 8, or during Fedora 9, text-to-speech ceased to work. This applies to both festival and espeak.
festival --tts file.txt
espeak -f file.txt --punct=""
Neither gives any audible output. The programs just run indefinitely and nothing happens.

Off Topic: where I can see how I translate old gdm conf files to new ones?
by casimiro barreto
Hello,
After upgrading to Fedora Rel 9 I've had trouble to drop the
-nolisten in the Xserver (old defaults.conf is not working anymore)
and I need to set the command=/usr/bin/X ...
Gdm was shipped without proper documentation (no man pages, nothing
for the missing gdmsetup and other programs...
Best regards and sorry for the inconvenience...

Meant to send this to the devel list. Was just wanting thoughts on how

Fedora 10 Snapshot 2
by Jesse Keating
This week brings us Fedora 10 Snapshot 2. This time not only will we
have Live images, we'll also have DVD and split CD install images. Due
to the amount of data to sync around, we're going to stagger the torrent
releases, making them available as they finish syncing to the torrent
server. Please keep watching http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ for new
torrents to start showing up in the next few hours.
Based on feedback from Snapshot 1 we're also adding a few more seeders
to help get the bits out.

I know and that was not the reason for my confusion :)
What I understood from Till's first sentence above, is that he would like a
dvd that has a bootloader that can use the enclosed cd iso's as an
installation source. This then would imply that it only works if the system
can actually already boot from the dvd? Therefore it seems to me a bit
pointless.
This however does not mean that I am opposed to being able to easily create
the cd images or even have them on the dvd already. I merely do not see the
point of shipping such a dvd as I think he meant.
