Since you have already publicized your .spec, and if you make further changes to your .spec file, please increment the .spec file version number. #04 In %files section, I am not sure if you want to put all under /usr/bin/*, and /usr/lib/*. Just choose the files that are to be packaged and use the macros -- %{_bindir}, %{_sbindir}. The same applies to %doc /usr/share/info/mmaker.info.gz. #05 You also need to run rpmlint on .spec, and the built .src.rpm, and .rpm. I see there are some warnings and errors for the .spec file.

Ext4 is default for Fedora 11. /boot in Fedora has always been in a separate partition by default since Fedora uses LVM by default and GRUB doesn't support LVM either. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ext4_in_Fedora_11 Rahul From foss.mailinglists at gmail.com Fri Jun 12 03:34:38 2009 From: foss.mailinglists at gmail.com (sankarshan) Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 09:04:38 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Leonidas In-Reply-To: <4A309B02.30501@pobox.com> References: <4A309B02.30501@pobox.com> Message-ID: <35586fc00906112034g541982adv8d4600b98e573ed@mail.gmail.com> On Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 11:19 AM, Kishore Bhargava wrote: > Am surprised that the community is so quiet on the launch of a new release. > Fedora 11 is supposed to be great, I have not seen it yet and am waiting to > get hold of the media, but really guys, there should be some fanfare at each > release.

There are a couple of events/parties lined up. Most of them are around the later days of the month since they are awaiting the shipment of the bulk produced media.

I have to admit, the boot process is very appealing visually and pretty much everything looks nice and sharp. Sadly, the system has an intel video card (i845 i think) and videos refuse to play on it =(. This is a known issue and a heads up for people with Intel video cards, please be sure to test it out in the live cd mode. This really isn't a Fedora issue, the Intel video card drivers are undergoing a complete rewrite at Intel which is going to cause much breakage and grief for some time (a couple of months perhaps). Until then, IMHO, it's best to stick to F9/F10 or whatever works perfectly for you. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F11_bugs#Miscellaneous_problems_with_Intel_graphics_adapters -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Install and removing software are both choices that users need to carefully think about before doing them. Software can pull in unexpected number of dependencies and having it all download without prompting is unhelpful. Removing software can be even more dangerous. Think about the consequences of user accidently doing something like yum remove glibc. > On further probing, I found keepcache to be set to 0 in > /etc/yum.conf. This contradicts with the manpage.

Due to these 'side-effects' it is always a good thing to question the user. This is the reason why yum has an interactive prompt and rpm doesn't. Of course if you are absolutely certain no harm can come from installing/updating a package and all it's dependencies, it does offer the '-y' flag (or the 'assumeyes' option in yum.conf(5) for the really brave ...or really stupid). > (However, I do feel that no must the be default as it is for > removal of packages) > > Also, I feel that for a system, one version of a package that has > been downloaded should be kept on the hard disk and could > be overwritten by the next release of the package.

I would like a confirmation too. Many commands have a Press Enter for ok and press something else to make a change. That is the think that prompted me to ask the question here. I also fail to see why people cannot bail out with 2 Control C's incase they were too heavy handed. I mean, if they knew the exact package name, they would also 80% of the time know that they will get dependencies. Anyway, please consider this thread closed.

The draft SOP is an attempt to put a structure to the "Test Days". You would recall that in the days prior to the release of Fedora 11, the QA/Testing folks had been running Test Days on various aspects. The draft is a way to collate all the learning from that and, present them so as to enable anyone who wants to run a Test Day (say, for example, a group of students at a college want to run an Installation Test Day or, a LXDE Spin Test Day), can be up and running without having to run around too much. This in no way excludes the reporting of defects via the usual means of the Bugzilla. -- 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 sankarshan at fedoraproject.org Sun Jun 28 06:15:37 2009 From: sankarshan at fedoraproject.org (sankarshan) Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2009 11:45:37 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Do we have any Fedora Ambassadors out of Mumbai ?

RPM is a low level utility (comparable to dpkg) and a library. It is unnecessary to use it directly in almost all cases. Instead use yum. http://fedoramobile.org/wireless/ Rahul From sundaram at fedoraproject.org Tue Jun 30 09:38:44 2009 From: sundaram at fedoraproject.org (Rahul Sundaram) Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:08:44 +0530 Subject: [fedora-india] Raising the bar Message-ID: <4A49DD24.3070606@fedoraproject.org> Hi https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-June/msg02332.html "we'd like to announce the 'Fit and Finish' initiative for Fedora, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fit_and_Finish with the goal to improve the user experience of the Fedora desktop.
