Draft for the use of environment-modules
by Susi Lehtola
Hi,
I have worked out a rough draft for the use of environment-modules
instead of alternatives. Feel free to comment or modify it.
I'd also like to suggest a feature that all MPI compilers/libraries use
solely environment-modules (no alternatives support). Currently, the
only MPI compiler in Fedora that still uses alternatives is mpich2.

Issue with PHP Naming guidelines
by Jason L Tibbitts III
The PHP guidelines seem rather clear that PHP modules all require a
"php-" prefix (with some types of modules requiring additional
designations like "php-pear-"). Recently I noticed that two modules,
phpFlickr and phpSmug, were both submitted and approved. I held off
on doing CVS for the latter; the reviewer's reasoning is as follows:
"The php guidelines not withstanding, php-phpSmug struck me as
unnecessary duplication and the same with php-phpFlickr."
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=510979
In general, I think it's the job of the reviewer to point out issues
in the guidelines rather than to simply ignore them. However, what's
done is done (unless we want to force a rename of phpFlickr, which has
already been imported) but I figured I'd ask if FPC wants to consider
ammending the guidelines to cover this case, or suggest another name
for this package. Personally I'm not really inclined to an exception,
because we have other packages like php-pear-PHP-CodeSniffer.noarch,
php-pear-PHPUnit.noarch, php-pear-PhpDocumentor.noarch with no
complaints about naming, but also phpTodo, phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin
which are not modules but applications which happen to have PHP in
their names.

need help for a init script
by Philippe Makowski
Hi,
in the init script I do the following :
INSTANCE=default
FIREBIRD=/usr/lib/firebird
MANAGER=$FIREBIRD/bin/fbmgr.bin
....
start)
echo -n "Starting $FULLNAME "
daemon --user=$FBRunUser export FIREBIRD LD_LIBRARY_PATH;echo;
$MANAGER -pidfile $pidfile -start -forever
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/$name
echo
;;
but is seems that the OK come too fast, certainly after the "export"
not the "$MANAGER -pidfile $pidfile -start -forever"

Open Seat on the Fedora Packaging Committee
by Tom Callaway
The Fedora Packaging Committee has an open seat. Are you interested in
helping to decide the packaging standards and guidelines for Fedora? Are
you familiar with the inner workings of RPM and its spec file magic? Are
you clinically insane? (Well, the last one isn't mandatory, but it helps.)
Members of the Fedora Packaging Committee get:
* My neverending gratitude
* The ability to tell people "I'm on the Fedora Packaging Committee"
* Good karma
The FPC meets biweekly. In theory. (In practice, we meet less than that).
If you're interested in this seat, please email me.

request to use Conflicts in new package olpc-bootanim
by Daniel Drake
Hi,
We'd like to get olpc-bootanim into Fedora. It provides the boot
animation for the OLPC XO OS.
However, this package provides /usr/bin/plymouth. It has to, since
that's what the init scripts call into. As such, I think we have to add
a Conflict with plymouth.
Is that OK?
We can't use plymouth at the moment, because it adds about 20 seconds to
the boot time of the OLPC XO. Our own boot animation is simple and
optimized.
Thanks,
Daniel
