How exactly is the Windows experience different?

Windows - explicity download from mozilla (aka repository) and
install.

Your example Fedora - download from special Firefox repository and
install

Seems the same to me.

I can see not adding the support to the ENCODING portion, also because that 
appears to imply an ABI change (extra flag), but the DECODING portion of the 
patch should be merged.

The patch against the original libjpeg libjpeg-turbo is derived from should 
probably work, it might not be "turbo"-optimized, but given how rare those 
files are, that shouldn't be a problem. It's still better to be able to 
decode the files slowly than not at all.

It turns out to be remarkably difficult to develop software for Fedora 
if a moderate part of the week ends up being spent wondering why 
something that previously worked no longer works. This isn't about "less 
advanced end users". It's about providing stability in order to provide 
an operating system that people can actually use without.

Software distribution mechanisms are an entirely separate issue from a

The relevant patent expired last year. I believe the SUN OMS team had
researched this extensively as they were using the JPEG arithmetic
coder in their aggressively researched royalty free video codec
design.

If someone doing legal research on this needs more information, you
can contact me offlist and I can connect you with people who have
researched this topic and may be willing to provide some useful

Absolutely. This is an excellent argument and I think is sufficient to

It's well known around the Internet that to achieve compatibility you should 
be conservative in what you send and liberal in what you accept. Applied to 
JPEG: Use only Huffman coding when encoding – except maybe if you know that all

Yes.  So actually the OP is pestering the wrong person; he should be
trying to convice the libjpeg-turbo maintainers to expend work on this.

I believe that they'd be best advised to say "no", because at this point
one of JPEG's principal attractions is near-universal compatibility.
Throwing A/C into the mix will throw that away, for what really is a
very marginal gain in compression efficiency.  If you want a new
not-compatible-with-anything image format, you may as well adopt JPEG
2000, or some other format that's less than 20 years old.  The A/C
option to original JPEG is something that missed its chance because of
patents.  Resurrecting it from the dead now is just an exercise in
misplaced priorities.

But having said that, it's not my decision to make; it's the
libjpeg-turbo authors' decision whether to expend effort in that
direction.

That's not the whole story. The situation is quite weird in countries that 
have signed the European Patent Convention. The convention and the national 
laws all state clearly that computer programs are not patentable, and yet 
software patents are granted on a daily basis, justified with some irrational 
reasoning that makes sense only to mentally deranged patent lawyers and some 
gullible politicians. Tens of thousands of these illegal patents have been 
granted.

Several years ago the patent lobby attempted to push through an EU directive 
to legalize software patents. The directive was eventally dropped after years 
of massive campaigning for and against, but that only means that the granting 
of illegal patents continues as before.

Such a patent might not hold up in court if it were contested by a good lawyer 
and the judge had some basic understanding of how computers work, but that 
doesn't make the patents harmless. Due to the high cost and the uncertain 
outcome of a patent lawsuit, small companies often have no choice but to pay 
the license fees.

My thoughts: 

- We should not be making this change in stable releases even if

  a fragile library used by a lot of things. 

- In f14+ we are not using libjpeg. We are using libjpeg-turbo. See:

So, any request to enable this support should be filed there and looked
at from it's perspective. Do they have support? Does it cause any
issues? Does upstream enable it? 

- For the legal side, make your (new libjpeg-turbo) bug block FE_LEGAL

It is though - you have chosen to use Fedora therefore have to live with
the decisions the Fedora legal people (I'm assuming they said no to
arithmetic coding) have said goes.

Remember, Fedora is not just for use in your country - there are piles
of countries it's used in, each with their own insane patent
regulations. The fedora stance is that if it offends, it's out.

If you want a prime example, look at either DeCSS or mp3 support. Plenty
of distros have it, but they're both out of Fedora. Doesn't matter that
in the authenticity of the mp3 patent is still in doubt, Fedora plays it
safe. rpmfusion may supply DeCSS and mp3 support, but they're not part
of Fedora. This may be one avenue to look at - see if rpmfusion can
supply an add-on package for this.

Arithmetic coding in Fedora libjpeg (bug #639531)

2010-10-02 Thread Mukund Sivaraman
Arithmetic coding in Fedora libjpeg (bug #639531)

I want libjpeg packages in future Fedora distributions to support
reading arithmetic coded JPEG files.

Huffman coding and arithmetic are two different bit coding methods that
are available in the JPEG standard. Huffman is simpler to implement than
arithmetic coding and historically hasn't suffered from software
patents. Arithmetic coding (as used in JPEG) had been covered by
software patents, but these patents have now apparently expired. [Fedora
legal could check this.]

The vast majority of JPEG files so far used Huffman coding because of
the software patents issue. libjpeg version 7 (one of the forks of the
old IJG software) and newer enable support for arithmetic coding by
default. With older versions of libjpeg (such as the ones bundled by
Fedora up to release 13), support can be added in the form of a
patch. No application code modifications are required.  (I'm not sure if
it's ABI compatible though, but on a re-reading of the libjpeg headers,
it might well be.)

Arithmetic coding is in every case a superior bit coding method than
Huffman, because arithmetic coding doesn't use an integral number of
bits to represent codes like Huffman does. So JPEG files created with
arithmetic coding are always smaller than those created with Huffman
coding.

Software such as jpegtran (as distributed with libjpeg 7 and above) can
losslessly convert Huffman coded images to arithmetic coded and vice
versa. The lossy behavior of JPEG does not happen at this (bit coding)
layer of the format.

The libjpeg package maintainer seems to be satisfied in closing the bug
rather than providing a good rationale for doing so. But I will be the
devil's advocate myself.

You see, .jpg files are assumed to be an ubiquitous file format. They
_just work_ everywhere. If you have a .jpg file, it is understood you
aren't going to have problems when using it. But arithmetic coded files
do not open everywhere. In fact, they rarely work in most applications,
devices, etc. today, because pretty much everyone is using an old
libjpeg with no support for it due to the historical software patents
issue.

As an example, in the context of GIMP creating such files, there were
some comments that people would start losing faith in JPEG if they see
incompatibilites, that such files are crippled JPEGs [sic], that people
who use devices such as digital photo frames will suffer, that I should
instead blog about free software and the evils of software patents, that
this option should never be available in a dialog to the end-user, etc.

* Fedora is not the only software that creates JPEG files. The nearest
  first implementation of a .jpg file creator program is cjpeg which is
  a part of libjpeg (the fork at ijg.org), and even that allows creating
  arithmetic coded files now. It would be arrogance to think that just
  because Fedora creates these files, the world of JPEG is going to
  suffer. Or that if Fedora doesn't do it, nobody else would.

* The situation with arithmetic coding in the context of incompatibility
  with existing embedded decoders is just like H.264 and profiles. The
  iPhone for example does not play all kinds of H.264 files (it supports
  only the baseline profile). But MPEG content creation software does
  allow you to create files that use baseline as well as other
  profiles. It doesn't say "Hey, you the user are pretty stupid, so I'm
  not just turning this option off, but I'm not making it available to
  you." It would be arrogance to not provide an option to the end-user,
  just because I think the user may not know what he/she is doing.

* Due to the patents issue, we had to assume that Huffman was the only
  bit coding method of this standard, whereas it isn't so. Arithmetic
  coding has been in the standard all these umpteen years, and some
  people used it. There was always the odd JPEG content that used
  arithmetic coding and which still complied with the standards. These
  are not broken JPEGs.

Also quoting from the bug:

> spread of the arithmetic-coding variant of JPEG.  It's not compatible with

I have replied on the bug about it. Some of the text in my initial bug
description is incorrect, and I have corrected it in this email.

It is not upto Fedora to make political decisions when there is no good
reason for it. This goes against the values of free software.

"You shall not create images with arithmetic coding" is like saying "You
shall not create images of the flying sphagetti monster." It's not up to
Fedora to make this choice for me.

As libjpeg is a shared library on the system, if it can support
arithmetic coding, i

Well, not responding to bugzilla tickets, sometimes it's a packager's way
to signal "I don't have time for this and would appreciate if somebody
else took over".  Dunno whether that is the case for libgdl in Fedora
though, but given your interest in libgdl, it would make sense to get

I still have issue with with version, so please don't rebuild against 
0.44-2 as I will push ASAP a new build (waiting for upstream feedbacks)

LibreOffice

2010-10-02 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

Given the fun which looks to be happening over OOo due to Oracle, are
there any plans to drop OOo and move over to LibreOffice (which looks to
be at version 3.2.999 - pretty much the same as OOo currently is at).
The full release version is penned in for Christmas (or there abouts).

I have no problems helping package this behemoth!

TTFN

Paul

Yes, any application that uses libgdl segfaults with the same error on
my F14 system. This is not limited to software from the F14 repo, but
also self compiled applications that worked fine previously on F13. The
above version also has the same problem.

A downgrade for F14 to 2.30.x, however rawhide(F15) probably needs to
move to 2.90.x. Which is the GTK3 branch of libgdl.

Anjuta is broken on F14. I don't know if any other apps in the F14 repo
use libgdl. I'm not familiar with the internal workings of libgdl,
however I use libgdl for a couple of my own applications. I think I can
tell whether or not the problem is my own application.

The upstream bug report I referenced before includes a response from the
Anjuta/libgdl developer, "Anyway, gdl 2.31.x is broken and gnome-2-32
will ship gdl 2.30.x.". I'm inclined to trust the upstream developer if
he says his app is broken.

Jim H

Maybe. But in my case, no characters are emitted at all in those cases. 
I've tried some other layouts and in my tests, any characters defined

reported) bugs fixed. I too got some problems in 1.9 build and
reported upstream [1]. I am too waiting for 2.0 to be built in F14.
Its already built for F15 and working fine. I have sent a mail to
xkeyboard-config package owner to build it soon in F14 so that we can
have this new build go through bodhi process and reach to stable(GA)
repository.

Thanks for the notice. I've noticed this bug yesterday but I'm not sure 
if this is the same problem. If you can test 2.0 release, would you 
please try pressing "d" key after enabling the "ir" layout to see if it 
prints any characters? (This key is defined using unicode hex characters 
rather than corresponding character name. But notice that this has been 
changed in git yesterday, so git source will work. But in 2.0, it is 
defined using character's unicode hex code).


Thanks,
Hedayat

Yes, it's fixed upstream, apologies. There's a new release on Monday
which will be pushed to F14.

Remove PackageKit-command-not-found. 

It's not new in F-14. It's been the default since F-12:

It's the "PackageKit-command-not-found" package.

"Command not found" misfeature

2010-10-02 Thread Richard W.M. Jones

F14 seems to have acquired a misfeature where if you mistype a command
or a command is not found, it prints "Command not found."  then pauses
for some time, then (sometimes, not always) displays some sort of
error[1].

How do I permanently disable this behaviour?

Rich.

[1] I think it was a yum or PackageKit error.  However I don't get
that error any longer, just a long pause instead.

I saw this issue a couple of days ago, logs saying stuff like:

Sep 30 17:15:00 turre gnome-session[8602]: WARNING: Application 
'gnome-keyring-pkcs11.desktop' failed to register before timeout
Sep 30 17:15:00 turre gnome-session[8602]: WARNING: Application 
'gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop' failed to register before timeout

'gnome-keyring-secrets.desktop' failed to register before timeout
Sep 30 17:15:00 turre gnome-session[8602]: WARNING: Application 
'gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop' failed to register before timeout

Then an update involving various 2.32 versions of gnome packages and a 
reboot later the problem disappeared, so I just shrugged it off. I seem to 
recall some components getting updated to 2.32 in an earlier update 
(when things broke) so /maybe/ it was some gnome 2.31 vs 2.32 
component mismatch. Dunno.

Any? That would mean it would have been easy to test whether the update
works at all, but either it has been marked stable without any testing
or at a time when it worked:

There's a package related RFE in bugzilla which is unanswered since June.
The package is assigned to only one person:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/libgdl

If a downgrade (with an Epoch bump) is the only way forward, it would
still be good to have the current packager comment on that. Or somebody
who is familiar enough with libgdl and would also show interest in 
joining Fedora's group of packagers in order to help with libgdl and
related packages.
