Unlike meta packages which are essentially empty packages which depends on a set of other packages, groups (defined via comps.xml) is more flexible and doesn't require rebuilding packages to redefine the set to be installed and can have mandatory, default, optional and conditional types. The format is defined in more detail at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CompsXml * Mandatory - selected by default and cannot be unselected during installation * Default - selected by default but can be unselected * Optional - not selected by default * Mandatory - selected depending on the presence of other packages The last one is interesting. If you want say, Hindi support, you can do # yum groupinstall hindi-support This can optionally pull in the Openoffice.org hindi support sub-package depending on whether or not, Openoffice.org was already installed. yum groupinfo on any particular group would let you know, what each group contains and the types of various packages as well. Hidden groups: ------------- Groups can also be defined as hidden by package maintainers so that it is not normally end user visible. Language support groups are normally hidden. If you would like to see such groups, you can do # yum grouplist hidden The @ trick ------------ In the good old days of up2date, groups used to be indicated with @ and this is the same in kickstart as well. Recently this has been added to yum as well. So instead of doing yum groupinstall foo, you can very well do yum install @foo. This works for all the other yum commands as well. Aliases ------- Many of the groups have an alias defined in comps.xml file. Normally when users want to figure out, how to install a group, they do a yum grouplist and then copy paste that to the groupinstall. Instead, if you note the alias, it is much easier to type. Combing that with the @ trick mentioned earlier, you can for example, do # yum install @sugar-desktop. This works well for say kde-desktop or lxde-desktop as well. I don't think yum supports listing aliases directly so I generally lookup, the xml file itself at http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/comps/comps-f10.xml.in?view=markup There are dozens of yum plugins if you want to list more data. We will look at those another day. Hope that helps.

I'm really very glad to hear from you guys. Well we dont have a very active community here but it certainly is growing and the awareness is increasing rapidly. We are planning a install fest and some seminars at my college ( SKIT Jaipur , 3rd yr CS ) this February and there are some experienced developers and enthusiasts in jaipur who have promised to help, so if that event works out, then you can certainly come here and we can then plan something for you guys too. And regarding getting the knowledge, i'd say community is there to help you, you can try IRC, other than mailing lists, and above all i'd say, it's lot of reading to be done in linux. So my friend, google is your pal and read as much as you can. or else we are all here :) For further getting in touch with people around here, you can always find us at the IRC channel #lugjaipur at Freenode.

A talk on contributing to Fedora (not using) sometime in the 3rd week of January int the evening, probably by Arindam+Subhodip with Help-A-Project (http://mukti09.in/?page_id=237) in mind. Yet to set this up. 2. "A day with Fedora" on 6th February during Mukti, from 4 pm to 8 pm. Can we change it "An evening with Fedora", sounds more romantic ;). Yet to receive the specifics of the event from Fedora ambassadors and Kushal. 3. Fedora stall on 6 7 8 February, along side our install-mania stall where we shall install any GNU/Linux distro the user wants, not just fedora. All Fedora requests may be fulfilled by the Fedora stall, and from what i saw at Science City Kolkata, people may end up installing only Fedora! 4.

Ok so heres the plan: 1) Subhodip leads a workshop on the Java openstreet map editor on 20th January evening. Its not related to Fedora, but just mentioned since he is a Fedora guy. 2) Subhodip ,Arindam and others if possible give a one hour talk on "How to contribute to the Fedora Project". 22nd January evening. I am pretty sure there will be 1st and 2nd years dying to be Fedora ambassadors after the talk. The one hour duration may be extended if required. 3)On 6 7 and 8 February we shall have three stalls for installations. One for Fedora manned by Fedora ambassadors, one for opensolaris manned by the SUN club here, and one our own which where we shall install all GNU/Linux distributions other than Fedora. 4) On 6th February we have "A day with Fedora" (or as i suggested, "An evening with Fedora") from 4 to 8 PM. I am unsure about the contents of the workshop, and am waiting for Kushal or Susmit to tell me more about it. But thats the slot. Time duration is slightly negotiable.

Testing required. (please read.) Message-ID: Hi, I am really elated to let you know that we have successfully automated the Fedora Freemedia handling process. So far the freemedia request handling has been manual. A form was filled, a mail sent to the mailing list, postal addresses copied from the mail and updated to the wiki. This was pretty complex, and time consuming too. Now the process will be as easy as this: 1. Now the requester will come here[1]. Fill in the data, and will continue to the next page. 2. On continuing the trac ticket will be already filled with the data, all the requester will have to do is to click the "Submit Ticket" button. 3. A ticket will be filed here[2]. 4. The freemedia contributor will accept the ticket he/she is willing to ship. 5. When shipped, he/she will close the ticket. If you have any comment/suggession, please let me know. Also PLEASE play around with the system, file tickets, close tickets, and do whatever you want and let me know any bugs that you may have noticed. Lastly, thanks to all, who helped doing this possible. Thanks and awaiting bug reports..

It would be a really nice exposure to us students in IT-BHU. I mean this will take Fedora to the grass roots- to the future fedora developers. I am myself a newbie and would love to see Fedora in action. Also we have a Technical Festival slated for february 19-22nd. Will any of the developers or evangelists be will to come in here for that purpose(talks,etc). I mean it does sound sort cliche'd but I think it will all be for the good. Even if the date is changed to something more convenient for all of you (i.e to say not in the tech-fest), even then i am sure it will at least make more open source contributors out of us( i mean the student community here). Regards R Dhushyanth p.s- also working on getting a student representative on board the fedora ambassador from most of the colleges that I know. Hope this helps in getting an all round opinion from the student community.

Anyway, if your grub (the bootloader) doesn't have a password, then follow these step to delete your root password: 1. Start your computer and wait for grub to show up 2. Locate the entry to boot Fedora, and press 'e' to edit 3. You'll see a line that starts with "kernel /boot/vmlinuz....." 4. Move to the end of that line and append: "linux 1" (without the quotes, a plain 1 is also said to work) 5. Now press 'b' to boot 6. You'll boot in to run level 1. Once you get the sh prompt, edit /etc/passwd file using vi (or any other editor) 7. The first line should be for the user root: root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash 8. Remove the 'x' character in the second field. i.e. make it: root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash 9. Save and quit vi 10. Reboot your computer. Your root password will be deleted. Set a new password. Let us know if this worked..

Also, i do not have access to a fedora 8 box, so I'm sorry I can't build the rpm for you. If upgrading to F10 is not an option for you right now, i think you can just take the source rpm from the bugzilla request and rebuild it on your system: $ rpmbuild --rebuild ...or just get the source package from wordnet.princeton.edu itself. The build is not complicated, the dependencies are tcl, tcl-devel, tk, tk-devel, automake and libX11-devel cheers, - steve -- Linux Centric Marketplace: http://www.tuxcompatible.com From dasd.here at gmail.com Sun Jan 18 12:30:54 2009 From: dasd.here at gmail.com (das) Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2009 18:00:54 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Request for Two Packages In-Reply-To: <49731706.5080004@lonetwin.net> References: <10e3ac410901092156o5ba140eeo8c7d56f36e93b4c4@mail.gmail.com> <3170f42f0901100657wd659a53q23e51a96fe9d5193@mail.gmail.com> <10e3ac410901151756u3d928e30ve5748c538c39c14c@mail.gmail.com> <20090116040213.GA2672@ginger> <3170f42f0901161137h5d41b0fdp64e6d8dfd8317641@mail.gmail.com> <49729DC4.9050109@lonetwin.net> <10e3ac410901180155k7cc48f36la7ccf95088ba6413@mail.gmail.com> <49731706.5080004@lonetwin.net> Message-ID: <10e3ac410901180430o3611d7f9le4dba129fadc0eab@mail.gmail.com> On 1/18/09, steve wrote: > Hi Das, > > Rakesh Pandit wrote: >> 2009/1/18 das : >>> I am using FC 8.

But compiled the Wordnet binaries once or twice before. If I am remembering correctly till F7 everything would run just fine, but then in F8 something in tcl/tk showed error during make, something about the path where make expected to get tclconfig script or tkconfig script was different in Fedora, or something like that. Maybe the clue is tcl-devel and tk-devel that you suggested. Thank you once again, but, please bear with me if I report some error, I really need this thing. And obviously for the time being, at least for three or four more months I don't have any plan to change OS. -- das ddts.randomink.org From dasd.here at gmail.com Sun Jan 18 13:21:07 2009 From: dasd.here at gmail.com (das) Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2009 18:51:07 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Request for Two Packages In-Reply-To: <10e3ac410901180430o3611d7f9le4dba129fadc0eab@mail.gmail.com> References: <10e3ac410901092156o5ba140eeo8c7d56f36e93b4c4@mail.gmail.com> <10e3ac410901151756u3d928e30ve5748c538c39c14c@mail.gmail.com> <20090116040213.GA2672@ginger> <3170f42f0901161137h5d41b0fdp64e6d8dfd8317641@mail.gmail.com> <49729DC4.9050109@lonetwin.net> <10e3ac410901180155k7cc48f36la7ccf95088ba6413@mail.gmail.com> <49731706.5080004@lonetwin.net> <10e3ac410901180430o3611d7f9le4dba129fadc0eab@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <10e3ac410901180521m5a51d6f1r5c5378ec29420362@mail.gmail.com> Thank you Steve, Rakesh, Debarshi My laptop is now a proud owner of the excellent WordNet binaries, and no more it will suffer from lack of words, I presume. -- das ddts.randomink.org From thinklinux.ssh at gmail.com Sun Jan 18 14:14:56 2009 From: thinklinux.ssh at gmail.com (susmit shannigrahi) Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2009 19:44:56 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Re: [Ambassadors] Event announcement In-Reply-To: <1232273837.6944.11.camel@localhost.localdomain> References: <1232265228.6944.5.camel@localhost.localdomain> <1232273837.6944.11.camel@localhost.localdomain> Message-ID: >> > We are still a very young LUG.

Yes, real problem is not identifying tasks, but pointing them to folks. And yes "reporting", "discussing" and "announcing the progress" or status of "tasks being done right now" is a good way of doing that, even if folks involved right now are less in number. I am not too sure about how it will go nor about how will we be picking audience, but +1 for experimenting. -- Rakesh Pandit From thinklinux.ssh at gmail.com Thu Jan 22 03:45:10 2009 From: thinklinux.ssh at gmail.com (susmit shannigrahi) Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 09:15:10 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Fedora Event Box for India.

You can now get an (unbranded) education remix right here: http://rdieter.fedorapeople.org/torrents/f10-education-preview-1.torrent (thanks to rdieter for setting this up!) Why are we releasing this now? As this is still based on F10, the main purpose is to gather feedback concerning the spin for F11. You're asking what we've on the spin? We've included more applications for educational goals than before: You'll be able to evaluate the whole KDE Education Suite including new apps like marble or step. We're also having some graphics applications like Blender, GIMP and Inkscape around - so there's enough space for you to give full scope to your creativity. What else?

Rakesh Pandit, Rahul Sundaram, Ramakrishna et al are proposing a FAD at GNUnify 2009. Susmit has agreed to update the page at with details of the FAD at Mukti09, Durgapur (after coordinating with Arindam and Subhodip) At GNUnify, the FAD aims to include quick introductions to The Fedora Project (and, perhaps a bit on the upcoming GSoC), Spins and Spin Workshop, Packaging (including Font Packaging), hands-on sessions with testing various applications/tools like PackageKit, Genome, Gach etc. along with a bit of desktop testing. If you have a session/talk to propose for the FAD, please do so. The idea is simple (as usual) - demonstrate Fedora coolness and generate participant buzz. If you want to catch hold of the fine folks head on to #fedora-india (on irc.freenode) and catch hold of mether, chacha_chaudhry, ramkrsna. It is going to be a great meetup. So, do make time to hang around with them on irc and at the FAD. -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work From sundaram at fedoraproject.org Wed Jan 28 12:50:41 2009 From: sundaram at fedoraproject.org (Rahul Sundaram) Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:20:41 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Fedora 10 in Feb issue of CHIP Magazine Message-ID: <498054A1.70401@fedoraproject.org> Hi, Subject says it all.

But I am not sure how do we reach audience ? By being vocal about this. Vocal = talking about this in public. There are 'n' number of circumstances (for very large values of 'n') where I see students going around with the "I want a Summer Project" look. Let's match expectations with some of our goals and try and do the small things. Why small things ? Because most of us have day jobs and cannot take on the complexity of mentoring for longer periods. Think about the time window of GSoC and do something similar. Doing it well has an upside - we help create better contributors. We *want* better contributors. We form a vibrant community. We love a vibrant community. > Yes, real problem is not identifying tasks, but pointing them to > folks.

The problem which I see is a lack of a listing of tasks. So, for example, if half a dozen reasonably competent students came up and asked for 4 different tasks/projects - do we have it listed in somewhat of a complete form as it is on the Seneca wiki ? > I am not too sure about how it will go nor about how will we be > picking audience, but +1 for experimenting. +100 for experimenting - what's the downside ?

Sorry to butt in like this (and sorry also for not replying to this thread earlier), but i hope this mail saves some time for anyone who plans on packaging blueman. I gave this a shot after i saw this mail. However since it had a dependency on python-distutils-extras[1] (which although not in Fedora at that time, was almost there), So, i decided to wait. This package was pushed to F10 yesterday. I installed it and built blueman (so, technically, since all the dependencies for this package are now present in Fedora, it can be completely built). However, (there was a point to this mail, you see) when i tried executing the built blueman, i got this: ------------------------------------------------ [steve at laptop ~]$ blueman (blueman:5228): libglade-WARNING **: Unexpected element inside . * Initializing 'Bluetooth.manager' Class * Initializing 'Bluetooth.services' Class Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/blueman", line 131, in Globals.Services = services() File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/blueman/Bluetooth/services.py", line 39, in __init__ services = Globals.Manager.ListServices() File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/blueman/Bluetooth/manager.py", line 54, in ListServices return self.manager.ListServices() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 68, in __call__ return self._proxy_method(*args, **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 140, in __call__ **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 630, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "ListServices" with signature "" on interface "org.bluez.Manager" doesn't exist [steve at laptop ~]$ ------------------------------------------------ Now, it was too late last night for me to try and debug (or report to the developers), what was happening. So, to summarize -- besides what is mentioned in the README as dependencies, you also need: bluez-libs-devel python-distutils-extras ...and of course this would let you create the rpm, but verify that blueman is useable before diving in. discliamer: I did all of this on F10 x88_64, if F9 has a different version of bluez-lib, you might not see this. regards, - steve [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472066 -- Linux Centric Marketplace: http://www.tuxcompatible.com From rakesh.pandit at gmail.com Fri Jan 30 11:14:35 2009 From: rakesh.pandit at gmail.com (Rakesh Pandit) Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2009 16:44:35 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Fwd: [Rpm-announce] rpm 4.6.0 release candidate 4 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: FYI, ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Panu Matilainen Date: 2009/1/30 Subject: [Rpm-announce] rpm 4.6.0 release candidate 4 To: rpm-maint at lists.rpm.org, rpm-announce at lists.rpm.org Here comes what's hopefully the last RC before 4.6.0 final, been dragging on too long already. Download info and generic 4.6.0 release note draft is (still) at http://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.6.0, below you'll find the change summaries since RC1 - if you wonder what happened to RC2 and RC3, they went online unannounced, trying to make up for that here... Changes from RC3 - RC4: - package having explicit RPMTAG_SOURCEPACKAGE is always SRPM (rhbz#478907) - safer update on file digest algorithm change (#479869) - dont think of gpg-pubkeys as source headers - reflect Filemd5s -> Filedigests index name change in macro config too - dont segfault on NULL argument to rpmpsGetProblem() - dont segfault on "" rcfiles argument - dont segfault if rootDir is NULL - dont try to create "" directories - dont segfault in pgpPubkeyFingerprint() if rpmDigest* fails - fix regression in rpmdsMerge() on rpmdsSingle() and rpmdsThis() items - fix memleak on I18N strings retrieved with HEADERGET_ALLOC - use temporary table for Depends in sqlite backend too - dont run %pre- and %posttrans scripts if --noscripts is specified - delay NSS initialization to limit problems with forking (rhbz#476737) - permit --noscripts on verify - javadeps format string fix - fix buffer overlow on long filelist entries (susebz#397006) - check for dbenv->failchk() exit code - check for chroot() result in psm too - check for termination signals during query loops - added ARMv7 support - added ISA macros for ARM - update documentation wrt gpg path macro (rhbz#476201) - clarify documentation wrt generating API/hacking documentation - dont bother with translations for internal/test-only tools - updated Swedish translation - updated Polish translation Changes from RC2 - RC3 - make sure headers can be included from C++ (ticket #12) - work around jrpm (?) produced packages not having RPMTAG_SOURCERPM - empty arrays on queryformats return nothing at all - fix segfault on packages without scriptlet program tag (rhbz#475214) - fix pkg-config provide generation on interdependent .pc's (rhbz#473814) - tighten up setting and checking of buildroot (ticket #10) - bunch of tag extension regression fixes from RC2 (rhbz#474550) - fix python return type for non-existent tags (rhbz#473239) - backwards compatibility include for rpmGenPath() (rhbz#473420) Changes from RC1 - RC2 - read default popt aliases again (rhbz#473167) - fix old, pathological memory fragmentation on fingerprinting (rhbz#472507) - fixes to permit relative paths on buildtree creation - restore SIGPIPE to default action for scriptlets (rhbz#471591) - calculate total file size correctly in build (mdvbz#45820, rhbz#247374) - tag extension enhancements generalizing numeric data handling (rhbz#471820) - use better hash to improve initial install speed - filter out mtime difference of shared files on verify (rhbz#426672) - fix segfault on relocation (rhbz#468319) - fix old memleak in rpmtsAddInstallElement() - make noarch subpackages actually work - skip adding identical NEVR to transaction on install too (rhbz#467822) - permit tab as whitespace between macro arguments (rhbz#467567) - adjust for file/libmagic output change (rhbz#468129) - SH-platform fixes (ISA-macros, IEEE-compliance) - PATH_MAX portability fixes (ticket #3) - avoid leaking C99 options into stock %{__cc} macro - remove extranuous trailing slash from pkgconfig includedir - make peace with new libtool - updated Brazilian Portugese translation - updated Serbian translation Still reading? Quite a pile there, I agree. In retrospective, RC3 should've probably gone out as 4.6.0 but it's a bit too late to speculate on that. Oh and FWIW, a big part of the fixes that went to especially RC4 were found by Pixel through testing on Mandriva rpm-software stack, exercising different code paths than what typically gets tested by me so it would've been hard to notice them otherwise, thanks for spotting and reporting! RC4 will go out as 4.6.0 final as-is in about a week, unless severe regressions from RC3 are found. - Panu - _______________________________________________ Rpm-announce mailing list Rpm-announce at lists.rpm.org http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-announce -- rakesh From foss.mailinglists at gmail.com Sat Jan 31 04:12:57 2009 From: foss.mailinglists at gmail.com (Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay) Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2009 09:42:57 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Organizing FAD in Varanasi (IT-BHU) In-Reply-To: <84a6e1e90901292132h78a5cb43w89daa6516be75599@mail.gmail.com> References: <84a6e1e90901152137y65f6b016iacc4530f8ee5a663@mail.gmail.com> <35586fc00901282008p82ee346jc8123020d313a96f@mail.gmail.com> <84a6e1e90901292132h78a5cb43w89daa6516be75599@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <35586fc00901302012l6727c2cak2b8dad961c2a2c5d@mail.gmail.com> [responding to your private mail on the list since this would be enriched with others pitching in] On Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 11:02 AM, Dushyanth R wrote: > Sorry for the delay in reply.Yes we are having Susmit come here.

Right up, I'd suggest that a few sessions helping the audience get up to speed with installation, configuration and basics about using networking, version control, mailing lists, IRC etc should suffice. Given that you say this is a set of 'novice skills' forming an User Group and interacting intensely with projects would lead to a quicker round of knowledge sharing. The FAD page on the wiki is organic - any set of activities that should help a group of people develop into better contributors evolves into an Activity Day. So, it is up to us to choose what should such activities be :) Nice isn't it ? -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work From sundaram at fedoraproject.org Sat Jan 31 21:12:35 2009 From: sundaram at fedoraproject.org (Rahul Sundaram) Date: Sun, 01 Feb 2009 02:42:35 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] [Fwd: [PLUG] [Commercial] Call for Papers -- OSI Tech Days 2009] Message-ID: <4984BEC3.2080005@fedoraproject.org> An embedded message was scrubbed...
