Broken Fedora mozilla ppc packages (and the fix)
by Joel Barrios 04 Nov '03

04 Nov '03

Yes, I know it's really crazy, but I wanted to test the fedora PPC stuff. After installing PPC packages from Fedora in an iMac DV (I just avoided initscripts, devlabel, gpm and mkinitrd), I was wondering why everything worked fine except for mozilla/epiphany. I even rebuilt from SRPMs several 1.4.1 SRPMs releases with 100% of negative results, until I examined the mozilla spec file and found out why Fedora's mozilla RPMs for PPC are broken: # build mozilla - XCFLAGS is for NSS which can't use CFLAGS for # various reasons %ifarch ia64 OPTFLAGS=-O0 %else OPTFLAGS=-O2 %endif XCFLAGS=-g \ CFLAGS=-g \ %ifarch ia64 CXXFLAGS="-fno-inline -g" \ %else CXXFLAGS=-g \ %endif Guess the PPC mozilla packages were built just doing rpmbuild --rebuild. So, <http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/ppc/Fedora/RPMS/> has mozilla _PPC_ binary pacakges built with OPTFLAGS=-O2 and CXXFLAGS=-g (!?!). After removing these lines from the spec file, that really should consider other architectures, and doing rpmbuild -bb, I could successfully build mozilla packages that actually _work_ on PPC.

RHEL 3.0 or Fedora for a 'production environment' ?
by Oscar A. Valdez 04 Nov '03

04 Nov '03

I've been trying to digest the bifurcation of Red Hat Linux into two different releases. For personal and home use, Fedora is the logical choice. But for my 50 servers and desktops at work, I have allowed myself to be victimized by FUD (ie, Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt). I've followed discussions on rebuilding a distribution from RHEL 3.0 source RPMs (see http://www.mail-archive.com/rhel-rebuild-l@uibk.ac.at or http://caosity.org/pipermail/caos), and they are riddled with doubts about the legality of doing so. And then: "Red Hat Enterprise Linux creates a reliable, secure, high performance platform designed for today's commercial environments--with capabilities that match or surpass those of proprietary operating systems." Does this statement from Red Hat mean that I can't get the same from Fedora? I don't think so. As long as Fedora provides stable, compatible packages, bug and security fixes and upgrades, I think I can live with it in my 'production environment' Anyone care to comment? -- Oscar A. Valdez

Crossover Office 2.0 not working on FCT3
by Pankaj Jain 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

Folks, I'm completely up2date with all the recent packages and once again, I cannot start Quicken using CXOffice. My .xsession-errors file shows the following error. Is this a kernel issue ( running 2115 right now )? I'm not really sure where else to look so any help would be greatly appreciated. /opt/cxoffice/bin/wineloader: could not load 'C:\Program Files\Quicken\qw.exe' as Win32 binary thanks Pankaj -- Pankaj Jain <pjain001(a)covad.net>

Much Excitement & Delay Clarification?
by Gord Busse 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

Delayed due to respin for several days, will be available as soon as possible. In the above sentence, what does the word "respin" mean or refer to? And does "several days" mean two weeks, three weeks, next month or next week? Sorry, but I am almost bursting from the anticipation of installing Fedora Core 1.0 final release. Thanx, Gord

Slow boots with kernel-2.6.0-0.test9.1.67
by James Drabb 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

I just did some stop watch timings with kernels kernel-2.6.0-0.test9.1.67 and kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl with regards to boot times. kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ------------------------- w/rhgb: 1:11 wo/rhgb: 1:07 kernel-2.6.0-0.test9.1.67 ------------------------- w/rhgb: 1:47 wo/rhgb: 1:42 I turned off kudzu. The big problem with 2.6 seems to be in rc.sysinit when it runs depmod -A: INITLOG_ARGS= action $"Finding module dependencies: " depmod -A On the 2.6 kernel this took about 37 seconds and on the 2.4 kernel it was only 3-5 seconds. Is there any reason for depmod to be close to 10 times slower on a 2.6 kernel? Also, is there really a need to rebuild the module dependency file at each reboot? Isn't this step performed when the kernel is built? Jim Drabb -- James Drabb Senior Programmer Analyst Davenport, FL USA

Release on monday?
by Patrick 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

Hello everybody! According to the Fedora site, a new (test) release is scheduled on a monday. Why? Now we all have to wait eagerly until it's monday, should a release on friday not be better (it's a good way to start the weekend)????
