Hi,

is this perhaps an alternative? Perhaps we could collect weather 
services and then choose the service which makes it easiest to port the

 introduces kitchen sink approach to doing something else, attacks me with

 Just look at all the extensions that sprung up:

 - extension to have apps menu on the top bar

 Essentially, extensions to have Gnome 2.

 So what? Maintainers are not messengers, they have other work to do than
 forwarding the bugs you're too lazy to file directly at the right place.


 Is there any point in me reporting any bug in Fedora bugzilla ever then?


 Sure, but understand that it may not be as effective as reporting
 upstream.  I think it is useful for tracking purposes and for other
 Fedora users to find (and why I hate the closed-upstream approach).
 Sometimes it really is a bug in the Fedora package or in interaction
 with Fedora libraries.


Absolutely agree, which is why my first response is to file in Fedora.
Additionally Fedora will have a particular version of a given package,
the maintainer hopefully knows more than me about differences and the
current development of their packages, part of the role must be to
facilitate communication with upstream. If there's one person
reporting a bug they know nothing about then telling them to go
upstream is fine, if five people have reported bugs in Fedora then
it's probably necessary to take a larger role in coordinating with
upstream.

Unless Fedora believes that the maintainer's responsibility stops at
getting the package built successfully there is a communication
element to the role. This includes things they can do without ever
looking at code, like knowing about how the upstream for their package
does things or knowing particular people to contact.

 But many (most) Fedora packagers are over worked or do this in their
 very limited free time and are almost certainly not as experienced with
 the code as the upstream maintainers.


I don't expect a maintainer to fix a bug, I don't really expect them
to post it upstream either if it's just me reporting it, but there did
used to be at least a triage process.


 Yes, I have dozens of accounts in upstream issue trackers.  No big deal.
  I want the issues I'm running up against fixed as soon as possible and
 filing upstream I've found is the most effective means.  Filing in both
 is even better.  But I won't call you lazy if you don't :)


Thank you, I did object to being called lazy on the basis I don't
first file every bug I see in the upstream. Package maintainers don't
have a monopoly on being busy or having other commitments, but they
have volunteered to take on some responsibility.

What would be nice would be the ability to forward bugs upstream from
within bugzilla. Having dozens of accounts you hardly ever use becomes
a maintenance issue: details like the last few times I reported gnome
bugs directly I had to reset my password because I kept getting caught
out by its length limits being different from most others or trying to
sign up for a bugzilla account and finding your email is already
registered, things like this are unnecessary overhead for everyone.

Self Introduction

2011-11-05 Thread Mattia Meneguzzo





Hi!
I've been a happy Fedora user for some years, but now I'd like to give some 
contribution to the project.
I'm going to package gnome-shell-extension-weather (URL: 
https://github.com/simon04/gnome-shell-extension-weather),
 an useful extension for Gnome Shell to display weather information, 
which I think deserves to be included in the official repositories.

I've filed a review request in Bugzilla: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=751537. Please review the package 
and let me know if it's OK.

Best regards,
Odysseus

Right now, if I want to start an app, I just hit alt+f2, type the first
few letters, hit tab and then enter.

No zoom, no search, no expose, no workspaces, no dash.

Just see it that way: you have one powerful interface to do advanced
stuff (reorganizing windows, editing your favorites, searching,...) and
a few simple keyboard shortcuts to do those same actions faster:
- alt+f2 to run an app
- ctrl+alt+arrow up/down to change workspace

Etc...

Nothing broken here. Just convenience, efficiency and adaptation to my
workflows, whether I'm trying to be productive or just relaxing.

 I am glad that you can take a lot of pain, 

He wrote he was happy with Gnome 3, which doesn't tell me he is capable
of taking a lot of pain, rather that he is enjoying this environment.

And so am I.

In fact, I'm taking a lot of pain when I have to go back to Gnome 2,
which I used to love before I moved to Gnome 3.

It's obvious that Gnome 3 doesn't work for you. Just use something else
then, no one is forcing you to « take that pain ». At least two
alternatives have been suggested already in this thread, so pick the one
that works for you, and be happy with it, while others are happy with
something else.

Of course, there are plenty of bugs caused by our packaging or moments 
when one programs stomps on the other one's toes.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/page.cgi?id=fields.html#upstream: “We 
only keep bug open on redhat.com to track our immediate short-term TODO 
items, or issues with our patches/packaging, or because the upstream 
package in question has poor bug tracking.”

yes - because most maintainers are having bugzilla-accounts upstream
and reading the uptream-mailing-lists and are much more cooperative as

if you than report a bundle of new introduced bugs upstream you are
told in the case of KDE yous hould file for every piece a seperate

If it is a new version from upstream then the release will be 1 but if you
are updating the SPEC file you would increment the release number.

Self Introduction

2011-11-05 Thread Tom Hughes
Having been a Fedora (and RedHat before that) user for more years then I 
care to think about I have decided that it must be high time for me to 
contribute my first package.

So I have opened a review request for libgxps with the aim of getting 
support for XPS files into evince. The review request is here:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=751568

Now all I need is a sponsor and some reviews...

Re: xfce-weather-plugin stopped working

2011-11-05 Thread Kevin Kofler
Johannes Lips wrote:
 http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/
 is this perhaps an alternative? Perhaps we could collect weather
 services and then choose the service which makes it easiest to port the
 plugin.

The KDE Plasma weather widget, which prides itself on only using sources 
whose usage in this context was allowed by the data provider, supports the 
following sources:
* BBC (data from the UK Meteorological Office, international)
* Environment Canada (Canada only)
* NOAA (international, but no forecasts)
* wetter.com (international, note that this is NOT weather.com)
(and the Debian weather which reports how broken Debian unstable currently 
is using the weather metaphor, LOL, I guess we could use something like that 
for Rawhide as well ;-) ).

If you want to comply with the ToS, some sources may have some specific 
requirements for use of their service. In particular, the BBC wants itself 
and the UK MET Office to be credited with a link, which is why that credit 
link below the forecasts got added to the widget.

Why is this not the default in Fedora? Mandriva has been using that by

-Wl,--no-add-needed (note: add != as) change done in Fedora 13.

Yes, we have Bugzilla accounts upstream. But as I explained, upstream wants 
to talk to the actual person experiencing the bug, not to a middleman. Plus, 
we get many bug reports, it'd be very time-consuming for us to forward them 
all upstream, whereas you as a user (hopefully) have much fewer bug reports 
to deal with. It's not our job to play stille Post for you (a game which 
necessarily loses information with every middleman you introduce).

 if you than report a bundle of new introduced bugs upstream you are
 told in the case of KDE yous hould file for every piece a seperate
 bugreport

Of course! It is just plain impossible to work with a bug report which 
conflates several, totally different issues, which need to be tracked and 
fixed separately. Upstream will also require one bug report per issue. It's 
part of the absolute basics of bug reporting. We just cannot track what's 
fixed and what's still open if we have multiple issues in one report, 
because a report can only be either open or closed.

 guys this is not the way you can act with users treat them report
 exactly where and how you like it, a few peopole will do, most
 will never again report any bug and stop testing packages and
 later if there are too few testers maintainers are whining why?

Thankfully, not all users are as lazy and arrogant as you.

If no source-code changes are needed, then yes, it's sufficient to
increment the release number (either way that suits you) and rebuild
in rawhide.

I assume you're thinking of OpenImageIO?  [ checks results of test
runs... ]  You will need a source-code patch for that one, because it
uses the symbol Z_BEST_COMPRESSION, which is exported by zlib.h, which
is no longer automatically included by png.h.  So you'll need to add
#include zlib.h to whichever file(s) need that.  It might be that
there are further changes needed --- the error on that symbol was as far
as my test build got.

Once you've got it working, you should pester your upstream to include
the changes, since libpng 1.5 is certainly something they're going to
have to deal with.

most maintainers see this different and only the fact that fedora-packages
are mostly patched makes it not useful throw all upstream first

the sense of a distribution for users is have a centralized source for
packages and problems, if your standard-answer is report upstream
you are damaging the benefits of a distribution for users

i have filled MANY bugreports in the last years and really often
some hours later there was a new version on koji, maintainer aksed
to try this, confirmed as works now and the maintainer submitted
his patch upstream and included it as long iht was not fixed upstream
in the fedora-packages - this way users start to love fedora, the
maintainers and all peopole from users, maintainers to upstream
developers are happy - your way of handling bugreports is the
exactly oppiste of this

 if you than report a bundle of new introduced bugs upstream you are
 told in the case of KDE yous hould file for every piece a seperate
 bugreport

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236025 is the best example that
this is not useful - in this case some random guy decided to replace
a whole io-subsytem from scratch without any knowledge what he is
doing for POSSIBLE get better performance sometimes later which
is not true in exactly this case because the limit is the network
and not the kio-slave

after such a useless, not needed replacement force users open
a bunch of bugreports instead revert the whole changes and
release them if they are finished and useable is the wrong way

anyways: fact is that if you punsih users how to report bugs in
such ways the result will be for MANY of them stop reporting bugs

Yup, I figured that out! I'm still not a C programmer but my hacker
skills are improving. I ended up grep'ing through /usr/include for
Z_BEST_COMPRESSION and found that zlib.h had what I needed. I checked
upstream and the master branch already has the fix but the (updated)
0.10.3 still does not. I'm doing a local mock build to make sure my
patch works.

 Last night I used livecd-iso-to-disk to write the rc5 64 bit  DVD
 install iso to an 8 GiB usbkey - which I am planning to test this
 evening to install to a desktop i.e. the usbkey will be my install
  (source) medium.
 
 I have used this method for several years - and not had a failure yet
 - I will report if there are any problems when I do this install for
 f16

Ah, that's far too simple. ;)

See, the problem we solved in RC5 only came when you wrote the installer
to USB with l-i-t-d *and then used it to upgrade an F15 system*. The
problem was that anaconda doesn't filter out the USB key it's installing
from as a potential bootloader installation target, and it orders the
preferred bootloader target disks in the order they're presented by the
BIOS - and when you boot from a USB stick, the BIOS presents it as the
first disk. So when you run the traditional installer from a USB stick,
the USB stick starts out as the preferred bootloader target disk.

Why does this only affect upgrades, and why didn't we catch it before?
Well, on fresh installs, you get the 'cleardiskssel' screen, which is
the one where you put 'install target devices' on the right and 'data
storage devices' (i.e. leave these alone!) on the left, and pick one
of the 'install target devices' to be the bootloader device with a radio
button. On upgrades, you _don't_ get that screen. So on a fresh install
it doesn't really matter which device anaconda would have chosen as the
bootloader target, as in practice you get to make the decision anyway,
and because of various other factors I won't go into here, that screen
doesn't 'default' to anything - it doesn't default to nominating the USB
stick as the bootloader target device.

Why didn't we catch it before? Before F16, when you upgraded, the
default action was not to actually write a new bootloader. The default
action was just to update the existing bootloader *configuration file*
in the Fedora installation being upgraded. Since this was almost always
what you wanted to do, very few people switched to the 'install new
bootloader' option when upgrading, which makes it much less likely we'd
catch this bug.

And _finally_, there is another dialog you _do_ see when you upgrade,
which essentially is designed to let you choose whether to put the
bootloader on the MBR or on the first partition of the target disk. It
has a drop-down labelled 'BIOS boot order' which is intended to let you
correct the ordering of the disks if anaconda somehow read it wrong -
what it really does is change the (hd0), (hd1) etc etc order that the
grub config file uses. But prior to F16, it would also change the target
disk for the bootloader install - so if anaconda had decided the USB
stick was the target disk, you could fiddle the BIOS boot order in that
dropdown and use that to make it pick the hard disk instead. So there
used to be a way to work around the problem.

Put all that together, and you get an F16 blocker. But it's a hell of a
lot of moving parts...and that's one of the problems anaconda team and
QA face all the time.

The pending F17 anaconda UI re-design isn't just intended to make
anaconda look shinier and be more user-friendly; it's also intended to
rethink a lot of these paths which have grown complex and messy over
time and are just badly designed. You may have noticed in the above that
there are two overlapping dialogs about bootloader location, and you
might get one or the other or both or neither depending on what
installation path you choose exactly, which is kind of silly. That's one
of the things the UI rewrite will be able to improve, and hence make
everyone's job easier, we hope...

Well-spotted, but how to fix it?

Lots of executables end up linked with libpng12 due to other libs (cairo,
gdk-pixbuf2) being linked with it. Neither -lpng12 or -lpng is added
explicitly.

 -Wl,--as-needed in LDFLAGS
 (in addition to RPM_LD_FLAGS) is one easy way that can be applied in

Still doesn't. Example package: geeqie

I decided to try another tack this evening on my test machine which

It booted into the installer just fine - but here is the catch/snag -
instead of being able to point the install to using the iso on the

could not get it to use the local iso!  Maybe I am being dumb or is

Now the install is off and running but of course will take a lot
longer than using the local iso for the packages - but of course I
have now formatted the root partition so I can't go back to the start
point!

Have I done something dumb here?  Or have I missed something in

If it's many users who are affected by the same bug, surely one of them

Refusal to help with testing and bug-reporting will backfire eventually.
It will be one of the users who will start whining about a pet peeve bug.


Still, a user reporting a bug in Fedora bugzilla should get _some_

Btw, with ABRT, many users just dump their report into bugzilla with only

 No. If that were the case, -lpng12 would appear on the linker command-line.
 It doesn't.

How are you checking whether your executable ended up linked with
something?  If with ldd, note that it's recursive.  AFAIU for example
eu-readelf -d /path/to/something | grep NEEDED shows a better picture
which is also mirrored in package dependencies.

Configuring geeqie with
%configure --enable-lirc LDFLAGS=-Wl,--as-needed
...instead of plain %configure --enable-lirc in a F-15 mock test build I
just did from the devel branch dropped the number of shared libs listed
in the eu-readelf command above for /usr/bin/geeqie from 25 to 15, and

I'm not actually arguing against certain features of gnome-shell based on what
I'm used to. For instance, I am not disputing that having an apps menu that can
be searched and is both flat and nested is useful. I'm not disputing that having
one panel is better than two, because it takes less precious desktop space. I'm
not disputing that having search in general is useful etc.

What I'm disputing is usefulness of the overview. It brings nothing to the table
- for anyone. Rationalisations for it as as funny as rationalisations against
the taskbar. Usually we are told that users would be too confused by seeing
workspaces/taskbar on the panel or some such. Who are these poor souls that get
confused by having more visibility that also gives them the ability to directly
navigate to where they want to go, while taking no more space from the desktop?
With the taskbar, we've been told that it's not a true representation of running
apps. The next piece of advice is usually that dash can also be used to switch
tasks. I guess the dash is then a true representation of running apps. Probably
because it's vertical. ;-)

With overview, shell introduces unnecessary view switches (at least two for each
other task), UI elements user never asked for etc. Just makes things less
visible, more cumbersome and slower to use. Not to mention annoying.

Just think of doing a cut and paste from one workspace to the next using shell
and overview using nothing but GUI. I reckon you'd get a vertigo. :-)

 Hmm, I didn't know that.  Which does RPM use when generating
 dependencies?  It would appear that it is is using ldd; should that be
 changed?

No, RPM does not pull in recursive soname dependencies, only direct ones.

[Bug 750805] Fails to build on ARM, needs to use default setjmp not ucontext

2011-11-05 Thread bugzilla
Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional
comments should be made in the comments box of this bug.


https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=750805

--- Comment #9 from Henrik Nordström hen...@henriknordstrom.net 2011-11-05 
04:52:26 EDT ---
It's a runtime issue detected by the test suite. I by accident did not have
FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled when testing the first change.

Coro (and pth) both abuses setjmp in the same manner for establishing new
stacks per context, but with FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled glibc verifies that setjmp
only sets the stack pointer to an earlier stack frame in the current stack and
aborts if the stack change looks odd.

*** longjmp causes uninitialized stack frame ***: /usr/bin/perl terminated

it's a valid error message in normal specified use of setjmp, but do not apply
to the special (outside specifications) use by Coro for establishing another
stack context entirely, outside the current stack.
