libconfuse license change
by Jarod Wilson
Just a heads up that libconfuse 2.6 is landing in rawhide (and soon f8
updates-testing), and with it comes a license change from LGPL to ISC. So far
as I know, its only one of my packages (Ganglia) that uses it, and its not a
problem there, but holler if I'm missing something...

Problem building package for F-8
by José Abílio Matos
I have tried to build rpy for F-8, the same package built OK today for rawhide
but for F-8 it fails.
Reading the logs I see this:

Houston we have problem. ;-)
This seems to be the same problem we had last week in testing-updates...

Installing openoffice.org-voikko: unopkg fails if OO.o is running
by Ville-Pekka Vainio
Hi,
(I've CC'd Caolan since he does a lot of OO.o things, but the discussion
should probably happen on a public list.)
I've recently added a new package, openoffice.org-voikko, to all currently
active Fedora versions. The CVS dir is at
<http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/openoffice.org-voikko/>. The
package should be in Rawhide and in updates-testing now.
I just happened to test installing this package while having OO.o Writer
running and the unopkg installation fails. It's
running '/usr/lib/openoffice.org/program/unopkg
add --shared %{_libdir}/voikko.uno.pkg -env:JFW_PLUGIN_DO_NOT_CHECK_ACCESSIBILITY=1 || :'
and it fails with:
"You need to close the already opened Extension Manager to continue.
ERROR: Lock file indicates that a concurrent Office process is running!
unopkg failed.
Installed: openoffice.org-voikko.i386 0:2.1-1.fc8"
As you can see, the RPM installation succeeds anyway and the files are on the
filesystem. But I was thinking that a regular user won't probably even see
the unopkg error when using pirut or a similar GUI.
The F-8 spec file is at
<http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/openoffice.org-voikko/F-8/openo...>
So is there a way of making the RPM installation fail if unopkg fails - and if
there is, should it be done that way? The other idea I have in mind is adding
a README.Fedora file or something similar, which would document how to
run 'unopkg add' if openoffice.org-voikko doesn't show up on OO.o even when
the package is installed.

EPEL report week 05/2008
by Thorsten Leemhuis
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Reports/Week05
= Weekly EPEL Summary =
Week 05/2008
== Most important happenings ==
* EPEL5 testing -> stable move happened (as always around the 1st each month). We have now 1011 different software packages (counting SRPMs) in the EPEL5 proper repositories for RHEL5/CentOS5.
* Two things from https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2008-January/msg00191.html
* Stephen J Smoogen ([:StephenJSmoogen:smooge]) filled the vacant seat in the EPEL Steering Committee
* Thorsten Leemhuis ([:ThorstenLeemhuis:knurd]) will step down as chair for the EPEL Steering Committee; he also plans to leave it, thus there is another seat to fill (see also https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2008-January/msg00177.html ); self nominations welcome
== Mailing list ==
=== Noteworthy discussions ===
* Xavier Bachelot is working on rt3 for EPEL: https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2008-January/msg00174.html
* Michael A. Peters want to see Gnome office in EPEL: https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2008-February/msg00000.html
== Meeting ==
=== Last weeks meeting ===
Full log:

* [:StephenJSmoogen:smooge]
* [:MichaelStahnke:stahnma]
Summary:
* broken dep reports go to the list | mmcgrath ? | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc
* the old script isn't running anymore
* discussing how to move forward; the script from mschwendt looks better then the old one, as it mails the list as well (and likely runs faster); more discussions needed (see also: https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2008-January/msg00194.html )
* next testing -> stable move | knurd | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/NextTestingStableMove
* knurd prepared it prepared and improved the docs how to do the move
* KojiAndBodhiForEpel | mmcgrath | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/KojiAndBodhiForEpel
* no news from Jess_S or mmcgrath
* fill the steering committee | all | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc
* smooge (who self nominated on the list) was approved as steering committee member
* knurd want's to leave:
* thus we have a vacant seat again; self-nominations welcome; quaid: "I wonder if any of the RHTers who deal with RHX would be interested"
* smooge and nirik are nominated as new chairmen; more nominations welcome; new chair will be elected in the next meeting
* new meeting time can be discussed
* Free discussion around EPEL
* smooge> | ok how are we doing for packages etc? how many are still in waiting to be branched etc? and wish list?
* no exact numbers, but there are likely about 2500 - 3000 packages (counting SRPMS) in Fedora which are not in EPEL
* smooge> | I think once we are pushing things regularly and getting more packages.. it would be a good idea to start recruuitiong more mirrors
* more mirrors can't hurt; asking on that closed mirror list might be the best start to get more mirrors

space on the live cds
by Matthias Clasen
As usual, the live cd isos don't fit...
I've spent some time last night looking for suspicious dependencies,
etc. Here are some of the things I spotted:
* Some devel packages get dragged in:
- policycoreutils-gui pulls in selinux-policy-devel, which in turn
pulls in checkpolicy. Why ?
- mono-winforms pulls in libgdiplus-devel
* Some other questionable dependencies:
- man pulls in diffutils just so that man -a can optionally
use /usr/binb/cmp
- ekiga pulls in SDL ?
* Packages which appear too large for other reasons
- About half the size of mono-core seems to be .mdb files. Isn't
that debuginfo and should go in a -debuginfo package ?
- opal contains the largest shared library by far. Something must
go really wrong with the autogenerated C++ code there. The library
contains > 35.000 symbols...
- ghostscript ships the next largest shared library. From the looks
of it, this is because it includes copies of libpng, libjpeg,
libjasper and libz....
