Request for Testing of Installer X Configuration on PPC
by Jeremy Katz
Hi. I've got an ISO for quick testing of anaconda's X configuration
setup available that's a little bit smaller than a full tree. All you
should have to do is download the ISO, burn it to a CD, boot and see if
X starts up. Then, you can reboot and go back to your normal doings.
Note that this is entirely non-destructive. So you can even run it if
you are running OS X. *ANY* results would be helpful. Please be sure
to include what you see happen as well as what type of hardware you're
using (cpu, video, monitor).
The iso is located at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/mac-x-test.iso.
The md5sum is 34234b3cdf2d89e4e94031a50f819285
Thanks in advance for testing this and helping to make test3 (and thus,
the Fedora Core 4 release) better on PPC hardware!
Jeremy

What dependencies does it need ?
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby
Hi,
I made a findlib package from the altlinux src.rpm, in order to make a
ocamlnet package. ocamlnet depends on findlib.
You'll find at the bottom the specfile i used.
It builds without any errors.
But when I try to install the thing:
# rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/findlib-1.0.4-fc3.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libc.so.6(GLIBC_PRIVATE) is needed by findlib-1.0.4-fc3.i386
perl(gtkdoc-common.pl) is needed by findlib-1.0.4-fc3.i386
What did I do wrong?
Here is the specfile:

Summary: Minimal findlib script to be distributed with user libraries
Group: Development/ML
Requires: %name = %version-%release
%description
The "findlib" library provides a scheme to manage reusable software
components (packages), and includes tools that support this
scheme. Packages are collections of OCaml modules for which
metainformation can be stored. The packages are kept in the filesystem
hierarchy, but with strict directory structure. The library contains
functions to look the directory up that stores a package, to query
metainformation about a package, and to retrieve dependency
information about multiple packages. There is also a tool that allows
the user to enter queries on the command-line. In order to simplify
compilation and linkage, there are new frontends of the various OCaml
compilers that can directly deal with packages.
%description -n ocamlfind-mini
ocamlfind-mini is an O'Caml script that implements a subset of the
full functionality of ocamlfind. It consists only of one file, so it
is easy to distribute it with any software.
The subset is normally sufficient to compile a library and to
install the library; but it is insufficient to link the library
into an executable.

Duplicated files in the pristine FC4t2 installation
by Jindrich Novy
Hello all,
I've found some file duplicates when I browsed through the /usr
directory tree in the pristine & complete FC4t2 installation what made
me curious how many duplicates are there in total. This is not critical,
so please take this as something for your information that some files
would better be symlinked/hardlinked in order to not to waste disc space
without a point. I know there's sometimes no other way that to duplicate
a file, but the statistics I have is IMHO rather interesting:
206405 regular files found, 4149 MiB [5468 MiB]
15797 total dupes, 15705 non-zero sized.
96 MiB [161 MiB], 2.325% [2.951%] wasted by dupes, 13906 symlinks, 5042
hardlinks.
So that 161 MiB is "wasted" physically in the /usr tree, what is about
3% in total from all the files within the /usr hierarchy.
To let this information be somehow worth for the package maintainers,
I'm adding a link to the list of all the duplicated files including
their sizes and md5 sums and to what package they belong:
http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/files/FC4t2-usr-dupes.gz
This statistics was done by the "slink" utility I wrote some time ago.
It's able to replace duplicates with symbolic links to save disc space
[EXPERIMENTAL, but seems to work] or just display a statistics about
duplicates for a given directory. If you want to give it a try, get it
from:
http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/files/slink-0.0.1-pre1.tar.bz2
It's interesting how many GPL "COPYING" clones we have in /usr/share/doc
for instance. Unfortunately some of my packages are also affected ;)
Regards,
Jindrich

Aren't these kind of bugs things you have to live with for the rest of
the distro's EOL? E.g. keep perl multilib in FC3, have it fixed in FC4
(and its anaconda) and bite the bullet and provide i386 updates for
another 6 months?

Fixing bugs by introducing bigger ones is bad. How many users will
really be notified and act accordingly? This will just add more stress
to supporting entities like endless threads on mailing lists rendering
them even more useless.

OS platform for Helix Player 2.0
by Ryan Gammon
Hi guys,
I sent the attached email out to player-dev(a)hc.org re: the platform for
balto (helix player 2.0).
Feedback appreciated, particularly if this is going to cause probems for
your distribution. Please include the player-dev(a)helixcommunity.org list
if possible. 2.0's coming out later in the year.

Firefox printing problem
by Thomas Zehetbauer
Hi,
I am having trouble printing with firefox-1.0.3-2 / mozilla-1.7.7-2 on
current FC4 rawhide. When I print the following HTML page I get the
postscript file linked below:
http://beta.hostmaster.org/Economy/Flyer.html?print=1
http://www.hostmaster.org/~thomasz/mozilla.ps
Note that there is a unexpected space after some umlauts while others
are merged with their adjacent letters and the italic style is missing.
Print preview looks OK and I wonder if someone else is seeing this.
Tom

No difference. This time, I tested with the stock kernel and ext3 (just
so no one can argue that XFS and/or 8K stacks were the issue). So, this
is tiobench on centos 4, 2.6.9-5.0.3smp, with the 9.1.5.2 firmware/stock
driver vs. 9.2 firmware/driver:
9.1.5.2/stock:
