Re: Obsolete packages still included in Fedora 19 development
I have retired fcitx-keyboard.
But Denis Arnaud cleaned up all code for fcitx(1). I think it should be
wrong. I have reverted the code back to git repo just now. Fcitx is still
fine and is widely used in CJK community.

Re: Proposed F19 Feature: Replace MySQL with MariaDB
Thanks for all developers' great work. Here I have two questions about cluster. MariaDB stays in Fedora repository now, however, Galera Cluster does not contain in MariaDB. MariaDB with Galera Cluster is marked as stable. Is there any plan to enable Galera Cluster feature. NDBCluster Engine was dropped in Fedora since MySQL 5.1.43. Now MariaDB has replaced MySQL. Could we also change MySQL package too? Re-enable NDBCluster? I know MySQL Cluster has different source tarball. There is a lot of difficulties. Will official MySQL developers help communities?

Systemd Status
Fedora 15 switches to systemd as default init system. The developer still works for coding and fixing the bugs. We should appreciate that developers give us such a fast init system to improve boot time. However we do not know what it changes from old version to new one. The changelog has just one sentence. New upstream released. I think I need to know What a new feature is in a new version. The homepage of systemd does not refer to changelogs. Thank you! Since Kernel 2.6.38 was released, autogroup schedule patch has been merged into mainline kernel. I rememberd Lennert Poettering argued on autogroup schedule with Linus Torvalds. The patch is just working with processes from TTY console. Lennert seemed to tell us the best way was that init system provided autogroup schedule. Now systemd is able to give every service, every user and every user session own cgroup in the CPU hierarchy. How far is autogroup schedule in systemd from us? I can not hear any news about it. I know this is not easy job because every process has its own property. But I hope it is coming soon and really makes our desktop more smooth. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Re: Fedora 15, new and exciting plans
Return to GRUB2 topic, I wish that GRUB2 landed in Anaconda and become an option for user. Some Linux fans install two Linux distros, one is rpm-based distro, another is deb-based distro. Most of deb-based distros has moved to GRUB2. however, rpm-based distros still stays at GRUB legacy. I can feel there are some problems on compatibility. Does anyone know something about GRUB2 on mapper devices? Half a year ago, I tried to install Debian on my Intel RAID0 but failed. At that time, Debian installer does not support that users directly install GRUB2. You need extra steps to do it manually. I think the maintainers should consider it and find out the best solution for users. The other topic is about Xen. As we know, Xen Dom0 pv_ops are merged into the upstream kernel since 2.6.37. Fedora 15 will use kernel-2.6.38. Should community bring Xen Dom0 to Fedora 15 since Fedora 8 though Red Hat does no longer support Xen? Because Xen Dom0 pv_ops is a part of upstream kernel, Debian has a plan to drop specified kernel for Xen and directly support it in generic kernel. Does Fedora has some plans to do it? I know Xen is still maintained by myong in Fedora. On Sun, Nov 14, 2010 at 10:23 AM, Dennis Jacobfeuerborn denni...@conversis.de wrote: On 11/14/2010 12:41 AM, Richard W.M.

Re: Fedora backports repo? (Was Re: PostgreSQL 9 for F14?)
If someone has enough interest in backporting something from a newer release, we can set up a personal repo on the repos.fedorapeople.org. Just like firefox4 and yum-rawhide repo. Maybe we wait for Copr. Seth Vidal is working on it. We can easily set up and manage a backport or testing repo on Copr. But I have another question. As we know, Fedora is a fast-upgrade Linux distribution. Many new features will be added in every release. If we backport the most desirable features, how should we attract users to upgrade to the latest one? Do we hope that Fedora becomes a rolling upgrade distribution?

Re: Some questions about on Fedora
Thank you, Chen Lei and Remi. I found MySQL Workbench for Linux has an bug. The bug seems to come from scintilla. I typed some CJK words in SQL Editor of MySQL Workbench. It would show the garbled codes and incorrect words. The bug does not appears on Fedora, but also on any other Linux distros, including Debian and Ubuntu. However, Windows version has not this problem. Should we report this bug to MySQL Workbench's and scintilla's developers? I do not think MySQL Connector C++ is a problem. Before we need to upgrade mysql-workbench, the packager can upgrade mysql-connector-c++. It needs more time to do for it than other packages. But the problem should not stop our steps. About MySQL Cluster, I found another distributions like openSUSE and Ubuntu would bundle NDB engine and normal mysql-server. If we install mysql-cluster-server, then the system will replace mysql-server. I do not think this is a good method. Mandriva provides an independent packages for mysql-cluster. It just contains NDB engine and some init script. As I see, MySQL Cluster is an independent component. It should separate from mysql-server. Should I invite mysql's packager tgl to get into this topic?

phase *today*, May 6, 2010. In order to enter this phase, all OPEN
F13Blocker bugs must be in MODIFIED or ON_QA.
The numbers are certainly moving in the right direction. Thank you all
for being on top of your bugs. There are now only 4 OPEN (NEW +
ASSIGNED) issues remaining (see list below).
To get a bug off the list, you can ...
1. Resolve the issue as desired (followed by a build and F13 bodhi
update)
2. Prove there is minimal, or no, impact to the Fedora Release
Criteria [2]
Use your last minute analogy of choice (end game, final lap, eleventh
hour, don't cut the blue wire (just seeing if you're paying attention)).
Today is the scheduled date for creating the Fedora 13 release
candidate. Any delays in creating the release candidate put Fedora 13
at risk for a 1 week slip.
Thanks,
James

Re: [Test-Announce] Preupgrade Test Day - Thursday 2010-04-29
Sorry， I sent a blank mail to list. When user starts to use preupgrade, it downloads installer files into /boot. Then reboot the computer and begin the upgrade process. The method will cause a problem, if /boot does not have enough spaces, preupgrade can not finish the upgrade. Preupgrade is a tool to download netinstall files to local disk and configure the grub and calculate how many packages your system should be upgraded. So why not put the installer file to / or another bigger directory. I think that preupgrade can create a directory in root partition and put installer into it. The installer should run after reconfigure the grub.conf or grub.cfg for grub 2. I believe that that is better than files locating in /boot for the reason that root filesystem usually has more spaces.

Some Ideas About Fedora 14 Media
Hi, all. Fedora 13 Desktop Spin would target to 1GB LiveDVD. But at last desktop team decided to return to 700MB CD size. It means that we should give up OpenOffice.org and GIMP by default. It looks quite sad. Looking at BrOffice.org, I seem to find out some ideas. Broffice suite and GIMP are installed in BrOffice.org by default, nevertheless, broffice spin gives up many locale files. Broffice just only support English, Spanish and Portuguese. So does desktop spin follow this method? Deskop spin contains OOo and GIMP, but it should remove most of GNOME locale files and OOo langpack. Then desktop spin can keep 700MB CD size. How can we download langpack file? Yum-langpacks seems to be the best solution. When we choose some language in system-config-lanage, yum-langpacks can download langpack of GNOME, KDE and OOo and some fonts we need and IME for that language. Anaconda also can run this plugin in %post-install so that it can fetch language pack and IME from remote repository. But We can not ignore that separating langpack from GNOME is a great job. Packaging langpack like kde-l10n-* and language-pack-* in Ubuntu needs a lot of packager to do it. Better experience: Live/Install Hybrid DVD Looking at install DVD, it looks too old. To add a Livesystem on DVD media can improve user experience. However, unlike Anaconda on install media, Anaconda on live system can not load a repository on media or a remote repository. That's a great problem. Just hope these suggestions can help Fedora community, I wish that Fedora 14 would have a better installation experience.

Re: Some Ideas About Fedora 14 Media
Tnank you for your reply. As you say, kickstart command can filter installation language. But the problem is lacking a easy way to switch to another language which is not installed in the system. Once I tried to install Fedora 13 Broffice.org Spin on my desktop. Switching to English is an easy job, nevertheless, Switching to Simplified Chinese is quite hard. Now I do not know how to make GNOME become Chinese interface. Should I reinstall entire GNOME? I have installed Chinese-support group. I know separating langpack from GNOME is a difficult and big project. But why does not GNOME pack language files like kde-l10-* for KDE4? It is more flexible. No matter what should be changed in LiveCD, I just hope Desktop Spin LiveCD keeps 700MB CD Size. Maybe Hybrid DVD solution will be more available and accepted by most user.

Liang Suilong The appropriate kickstart command to filter exept but french and english is: %packages --instLangs en:fr:fr_FR:fr-FR it doesn't work on EL-5 IIRC and I don't know how it will work with lang-pack plugin. The problem was that once the live media is installed, then you don't have the full set of Fedora packages and you cannot restore the other locale at this time. I think an hybrid install/live media with locales stipped is a good idea that worth some experiments.

Talking about live upgrade
Hi, all Several days ago, I wrote an article about upgrading. Many users meets the same problem. Also Casey Dahlin gives me a lot of advices. Maybe devel list is fit for a border discuss about upgrade experience. Will Live upgrade replace preupgrade? Now we can not get access to my blog because of censorship in China. I will solve it in several days. Please wait for moments. I paste my article at Fpaste: http://fpaste.org/tTLC/ Thank you -- Fedora Debian User, former Ubuntu User My Page: http://www.liangsuilong.info Fedora Project Contributor -- Packager Ambassador https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Liangsuilong -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
