But it doesn't really matter for the user, so let's try and get this fixed the easiest way. The main question currently imho is: why does this script not set correct time.

If you set CLOCK_SYNC to yes (which is the default) in your /etc/sysconfig/suspend, the clock is set from the hardware clock upon resume, using the parameters from /etc/sysconfig/clock (UTC=true/false).

Otherwise, if you are happy with these changes I will commit to contrib tomorrow with whatever else I can get working. Yes, looks nice. Any comment on APM? I think it would be useful, and it seems fine on my 600X in 9.0. It's also working on my T20 - but maybe it is better to turn it off by default to avoid possible problems? I assume the APM events will still be accessible via nvram? The config says, tpb uses /proc/apm to determine those values... Or does this thing need ACPI support?

Maybe not for developing spec files and RPMs - but for documentation: where to find what and guidelines and other stuff, maybe even ToDo-lists for packages. A Wiki is imho the best choice for this kind of work because it is easy. If you find a mistake, you can correct it in matter of seconds. And you don't loose quality because everyone can watch you and correct your mistakes. It matches the FreeSoftware / OpenSource development process quite well. I've been using Wikis for some time now (linuxwiki.de and some other private wikis as a team workplace / knowledgebase) and I really like them. I don't want to hack HTML-pages any more - it is too much work, it takes too much time and giving feedback is also too indirect. That's why I would say: set up a wiki (e.g. MoinMoin, because it is easy to setup and has nice features) somewhere and let's start filling it. If it doesn't work, we at least tried it and we'll then probably know why it didn't work and what has to be changed to make the process work.

[Cooker] small enhancement for ifup-local / ifdown-local
Hi! I've done a small enhancement for /sbin/ifup-local and /sbin/ifdown-local: put the attached file in /sbin/if-local and link ifup-local and ifdown-local to it. Then everytime ifup-local is called, all scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-local.d will be executed and everytime ifdown-local is called, all scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-local.d will be executed. It is also possible to link ifdown-pre-local and ifup-pre-local to if-local. This makes it really easy to update e.g. the postfix chroot resolv.conf using the attached 6postfix script which should be put in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-local.d by the postfix rpm. On my system (a notebook) I also reload ntpd and cups, because they usually don't like if the ip address changes, and mount/umount some nfs directories on a server depending on the domain name I get from the dhcp server. -- Michael Reinsch [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mr.uue.org if-local Description: Binary data 6postfix Description: Binary data

[Cooker] /etc/pcmcia/wireless vs. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-wireless
Hi! Today I tried configuring a wireless network card on my cooker system. I followed some advices to modify /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts (which comes from pcmcia-cs-3.2.0-3mdk) - and wondered why non of my changes where reflected. After about half an hour reading scripts and stuff, I figured that /etc/pcmcia/wireless wasn't used at all when I put in my card! Instead /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-wireless is used which does about the same stuff /etc/pcmcia/wireless does - but uses different config files. Therefore to avoid confusion: please remove /etc/pcmcia/wireless and /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts from pcmcia-cs or merge all this stuff at one place...

Can we get that sort of discipline? I don't know. Well, I guess it would be used instead of the cooker mailing list if it would have advantages for the reporters. The one big disadvantage of a mailing list: You don't see all reports for a package. So you have to search (not always easy) or remember the one mail for the problem you currently have found. This can by already done with bugzilla, but it currenlty takes much to many steps to get to that point and even more the then create a new problem report - so searching the mailing list is currently easier. If bugzilla would be enhanced in a way that you only have to paste the package name (+version) in it and then see all open problem reports and could create a new problem report for it with one more click, it would be probably used... -- Michael Reinsch [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mr.uue.org

This used to work :) The way I get around it is to pass decimal values instead of hex. 0x317 is 791 in decimal. It's pretty easy to convert between the two using kcalc or some perl. It does the same thing from lilo, so it's not a lilo/grub issue, it's a kernel issue. Sure it's easy - there is even no need for a calculator, you can just can have a look into the detect-resolution script and use the numbers from there. But that's not the point; the point is that the script should understand the parameters the kernel understands. If it doesn't, you don't know why it's not working and one has to search and read scripts to find the reason why it doesn't work. BTW: I didn't report this for lilo because I didn't test it with lilo. -- Michael Reinsch [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mr.uue.org

I alway thought that you need devel to build a program not to run it ;-) You don't need devel packages on Desktop. Well, you shouldn't need them, but as I said before: currently libalsa2-devel is required.

And it is probably wise to let windows destroy itself and not risk a possible problem because of a bug in dosfsck... so not checking fat partitions automatically is ok for me. If mandrake doesn't want those symlinks to dosfsck (which I can understand), it would be nice if there would be a small fsck.vfat tool saying something like: use dosfsck if you really want to check a fat partition, this might destroy it.

If you only do the above change in /etc/init.d/alsa, you have to keep snd-card in the module name, otherwise the alsa script will ignore the sound card.
