[offtopic] Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams
by Arthur Pemberton
Hi guys,
I apologize ahead of time for the offtopic nature of this thread, and
if desired, I will cease any continuation. Threads over on
fedora-extras-list have brought my attention to the e-dissappearance
of one "Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams".
This guy has helped me out many times over of #fedora, and was always
online, despite me changing time zone twice - to the point where I
asked if he was a bot. He seemed to have also had a large load in
package maintaince. Fedora being partly about the community, I have to
ask: does anyone know what happened to this guy? His online presence
seems to have simply ceased as of May-2006. I searched Gmail for
emails from him, the last was in May. His blog
(http://www.ivazquez.net) seems also to have gone quiet as of May.
Just felt that the guy has helped me enough to at least care if he
suddenly died or something.
Peace.

---------------------------
* Sat Jan 06 2007 John Dennis <jdennis(a)redhat.com> - 1.8.13-1
- update translations
- change SETroubleshootDatabase so it is optional if it's backed
by a file, this fixes the problem of us littering temporary files
when scanning logfiles which does not require persistence.
- disable the view logfile menu item if no logfile has been opened
- fix redundant log messages for case where there is no log file and
the console flag is set. When there is no log file the logging
module opens a console stream, thus the console stream produced
by the console flag was redundant.
- add username and password command line arguments
rework startup logic so that all command line args are processed
before we do any real work
- rework the email preferences so that each email address can
have a filter type associated with it.
add a new filter_type "Ignore After First Alert" which filters
after the first alert has been delivered
- add UI for setting the email addresses alerts are sent to.
Add menu item to edit email list, add email list dialog.
Remove 'recipient' config file entry, now list is stored
in seperate file. Add rpc to query and set the email list,
the GUI calls this to get the current list from the server
and set it in the server, it is the server which reads and
writes the file. Add 'enable' flag to each email entry.
Modify how the server iterates over the email list when it
receives an alert. When marking an alert as having been sent
the username is the email address but with 'email:' prepended so
as not to collide with non-email filtering options for the same user.
Broken deps for s390
----------------------------------------------------------
systemtap - 0.5.10-1.fc7.s390 requires kernel >= 0:2.6.9-11
systemtap-runtime - 0.5.10-1.fc7.s390 requires kernel >= 0:2.6.9-11

Check your setup, I'd guess your mkinitrd (or some piece it needs) is
broken. Or perhaps it just ran out of space? (If so, this is certainly a
bug, the error message should be at least halfways intelligible)

Grub 2 and FC7?
by Bruno Wolff III
Are there plans to give an option to install Grub 2 in FC7? The Grub 2 wiki
now claims that software raid and lvm are supported, which are some nice
new features.

wiki reorganization
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
Anticipating the upcoming merge of Fedora Core and Extras I have been
removing the references to Fedora Core and replacing it with appropriate
terms throughout the wiki but I would need suggestions on how to handle
pages within the /Extras namespace. Would moving them to /Packaging
make sense? Can we considering dropping the ACL's in the packaging page
and just add a note on top that changes needs to be handled by the
packaging committee?

Status of User Private Group Scheme (UPG)
by Dax Kelson
Since as long as I can remember (the Mother's day release?), Red Hat
Linux implemented the User Private Group scheme out-of-the-box. It is
documented in all on-line Red Hat manuals.
It consists of two pieces:
a) private primary group for each user instead of "users"
b) umask of 002 for user accounts
According to the changelog for the setup RPM, /etc/bashrc was changed
last March to use 022 for all accounts. However, private primary groups
are still created for user accounts.
The current situation is odd, however, with (a) still in effect, but (b)
gone. There is no mention in any release notes that I can find.
Why the change, and what's the plan/status of UPG?
I can understand if UPG is going away, as the problem that UPG addresses
can be handled with FACLs and default ACLs on directories (my Linux
training manuals have now been updated with using-FACLs-instead-of-UPG).
IMHO, either UPG should stay in it's entirety, or it should go in it's
entirety.

hallo
with the xen kernel on my hp nx6110 (laptop) i get

is this known ?
any workarounds ?
esp. since the normal kernel loads/runs this module !
interrupt 17 !
another point with xen is that i'm unable to run X on my P4 box with an
matrox mga550 card.
searching through bz, i found #213940 and 1-2 others.
or is this mga-specific and should i open a new bz ?

I use $LOCALDOMAIN most often with tools such as ssh, telnet, netcat,
Firefox, and traceroute, and it works fine. Odd that ping, host, and
their friends don't acknowledge it, maybe the _res.options values used
by those programs is the problem? (Or is there more than one resolver
library?)
