upgrading RH 9 system->Fedora with iso files and apt only
by Didier Casse 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

I have the yarrow's iso files on my HD in a RH9 system. Let's say I want to upgrade selected packages using an "apt-get install" pointing to my iso-mounted files, how do I do it? i.e I mount the iso into some /mnt/yarrow1, /mnt/yarrow 2 etc.. Then what is the complete procedure to make my apt look into my own HD to upgrade packages. Can anybody redirect me to the correct resource or some literature hanging on the web? Thanks. Assume also that I do not wish to burn CDs! I do not want to use apt-cdrom. Thanks. With kind regards, Didier. --- PhD student Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) 5 Research Link, Singapore 117603 Email: slsbdfc at nus dot edu dot sg \or\ didierbe at sps dot nus dot edu dot sg Website: http://ssls.nus.edu.sg

Self Introduction
by Olivier BONHOMME 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

Hello everybody, I am Olivier from France. I work now as a System/Network Architect in the Spatial domain especially in Satellite telecommunications. I work every day on Linux Platform especially Fedora / Redhat / CentOS platform doing software and hardware integration, architecture and packaging work. Moreover, I try to contribute to some projects like the SUDO French translation [1] and the Fusiondirectory project. [2] On this project, I maintain the public services and I am in charge of the RPM packaging. About that I have two Review requests opened about this project [3] [4] and it would be nice to participate to the integration in Fedora. Thanks for have read me.

Improvements Eclipse Installation
by sami wagiaalla 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Hi, The way we currently install Eclipse plugins in Fedora is incorrect and somewhat fragile. RPM places all the plugin artifacts in the proper directories. However that does not update the eclipse metadata. This means that until the next time eclipse starts it is unaware of the newly installed plugins. Because the user would normally run Eclipse not as root Eclipse does not have permission to write to the meta data files located in the installation directory. It therefore creates a parallel version in the user's home directory ~/.eclipse. This creates a fragile installation and leads to a whole host of problems. To improve this I have written apatch which runs the Eclipse reconciler during rpm installation. The Eclipse reconciler is an Eclipse application which goes through and checks the installation directories and updates the eclipse metadata with any newly installed plugins. To add support for this in your eclipse package you have to add the following line to your rpm spec file: %_eclipse_pkg [package name] Here is an example from the eclipse-rse spec file for the eclipse-rse-sdk rpm: %package sdk [...] %_eclipse_pkg sdk The above macro expands to the following: %post sdk touch /var/run/eclipse/run-reconciler %postun sdk touch /var/run/eclipse/run-reconciler if [ $1 == 0 ]; then eclipse-reconciler.sh fi %posttrans sdk eclipse-reconciler.sh I apologize if you have experienced instability in Eclipse installations on rawhide, it is probably due to these changes. Please let me know if you have any comments questions or suggestions. I will be filing a request to update the Eclipse packaging guidelines. If you are interested in the details of the work, here is a summary in the form of a patch: http://fpaste.org/pPEC/ Cheers, Sami

Orphaning techtalk-pse
by Ian Weller 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

I am orphaning the techtalk-pse package because the Gtk2::MozEmbed perl module will no longer be maintained in Fedora because gtkmozembed support has been removed from xulrunner. If upstream (or anybody) has the time to work on techtalk-pse and get it working with something like Gtk2::WebKit, I'm glad to pick up package maintenance again. (I would, but my perl skills go as far as running programs.) -- Ian Weller <ian(a)ianweller.org> _ \/"/_ All Hail the Beefy Miracle! /_/ beefymiracle.org \ \

orphaning gdk-pixbuf
by Kevin Fenzi 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Greetings. I just orphaned gdk-pixbuf in pkgdb. It failed the mass rebuild, not much left that depends on it, and nothing I need. ;) % repoquery --source --whatrequires gdk-pixbuf gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-38.fc12.src.rpm gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-38.fc12.src.rpm gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-38.fc12.src.rpm gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-38.fc12.src.rpm soundtracker-0.6.8-8.fc12.src.rpm xosd-2.2.14-13.fc12.src.rpm So, if anyone really really really wants to keep it alive, feel free to take it and fix it so it builds and works. ;) kevin

Systemd unit file: Can/Should ExecStart and ExecStop run a script?
by Richard Shaw 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

It looks like I'll be taking over mythtv packaging for RPM Fusion and I noticed it still only uses a sysv init script. In the sysv script it sets some ACL permissions on video and audio devices necessary for the backend service, and then on shutdown changes it back. I don't see any way to accomplish this in a systemd unit file other than running a script. What's the right way to do this? I have a template unit file (not meant to "work" yet): [Unit] Description=MythTV backend service After=mysqld.service [Service] Type=forking PIDFile=/var/run/mythbackend.pid ExecStart=/bin/sh /usr/libexec/mythtv/startmythbackend.sh ExecStop=/bin/sh /usr/libexec/mythtv/stopmythbackend.sh [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Thanks, Richard

Another glibc change that nearly got pushed into F16
by Richard W.M. Jones 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

It's rather too complex to explain the change here, so I suggest you go and read these first: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/184205 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/184209 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=747377#c22 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=747377#c24 Now, I'm _not_ saying that the glibc change is wrong. In fact, it enables extra gcc optimizations, which is great. But in this case it looks like we're going to have to review all use of thread mutexes in the whole of Fedora. Maybe not the kind of thing we had in mind for Fedora 16 at this point. I think it's great that Thomas Rast, Jim Meyering, and Jakub Jelinek found the problem after probably a couple of man-days of effort, but really development and bug fixing like this belongs in Rawhide.
