Thanks Kevin,

I've orphaned python-netifaces 
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-netifaces ; i also have ACLs on 
fedora-bookmarks which I wasn't able to remove from myself. 

If someone wants to take cowsay-beefymiracle from me i'll be happy enough to 
hand to an active packager, its spec file is bigger than the installed file, if 
i recall correctly

Hi all,

Thanks to Ben for reaching out on twitter; It's fair to say i'm inactive in 
Fedora these days, to say the least. I thought i'd orphaned all my packages the 
last time this came up but I will go through the process again once 
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages stops giving me a 503 error.

Re: Unresponsive maintainer: Ryan Rix, rrix

2016-04-26 Thread Ryan Rix
Ah yeah, I've been out of touch with Fedora things for quite a while,
and don't see myself having the bandwidth to be repsonsible any time
soon. Sorry about that, not sure how I've missed your emails 'til now.

I've approved pending python-netifaces ACLs, given ownership of pokerth
to itamarjp (who was already an admin) and gave full ACLs of
cowsay-beefymiracle to wwoods (of course). Let me know if I should
orphan python-netifaces or transfer ownership to someone else.

Let me know if I can help further.

  Ok, i need really help to create such a package.
  
  But there is also another simple solution
  gnome-bluetooth dev should add the removed (fallback) panel applet

  the code to do that.
  
  If gnome-bluetooth is the only client after the bluez5 switch which
  is working in fedora, than it should be work for all desktops, imo.
  
  So adding the applet back would be a noble gesture from gnome to
  other desktops ;)
  
  PS: i think cinnamon is also affected, because so far i know use
  cinnamon blueman code in the momment. But i'm not shure in this point.
 
 I've exchanged some emails with the author of
 https://github.com/ncopa/xfce-bluetooth
 
 Unfortunately, the code there is in very early alpha stage. It doesn't
 do a whole lot yet. He's happy to have any help implementing things,
 but makes no promises as to when things will be usable.
 
 This applet depends on vala and the xfce-vala bindings, so I am not
 sure if it would work for other desktops, but its possible that it
 could.
 
 If anyone would be interested in helping out with this applet, please
 contact the maintainer.
 
 For Xfce, we could use this if it becomes usable in time, or we could
 use some other systray producting applet, or we could just not support
 bluetooth from the desktop for this release. ;(

It sounds like BlueZ5 is not ready for Fedora, betwen the early alpha XFCE 
code, and shipping git BlueDevil, mate and cinnamon don't appear to work with 
it ... 

Basically we ship Fedora 20 in a state where one only of our major desktop 
environments supports bluetooth in a stable fashion? That seems kind of like a 
disaster waiting to happen.

  OpenSSL support in gnutls is a Bad Thing?
 
 Ryan, have you read the initial description of:
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460310
 
 ?
 
 The problem is that gnutls's openssl compatibility uses the same symbol
 names as openssl itself thus polluting the dynamic linker symbol namespace.
 So if an application uses a library which is linked against openssl (for
 example ldap libs through pam) and uses gnutls-openssl then the ldap
 libraries will end up calling functions inside gnutls-openssl rather then
 inside openssl, since the gnutls-openssl symbols are already present in the
 dynamic linkers symbol namespace. This then goes boom big time, since the 2
 are not ABI compatible.
 
 Since gnutls-openssl is not ABI compatible it should not be using the same
 function / variable names.
 
 Tomas has chosen to fix this problem by simply disabling the openssl compat
 part of gnutls (which as the above bug shows is broken by design) given that
 only 3 apps use this, this seems like a sane choice to me.
 
 The best way forward is probably to ask PokerTH upstream to add the
 standard openssl license exception boilerplate to their license, I did
 so successfully with gkrellm and switched to simply using the real openssl.

Makes sense, thanks Hans. :)

I actually talked to them, and they say that openssl is pulled in only for 
linking libcurl, and that PokerTH itself is using gcrypt for the Big Stuff, so 
it should be fairly easy to fix/work around.

Heya folks :)

So... after a year's hiatus, Fedora's been accepted in to Google's Summer of 
Code program for summer 2011!

If you're a university student looking for a job this summer, start thinking 
about some awesome idea that you'd like to make happen in Fedora this 
summer. Applications will open March 28, so start talking with developers in 
IRC and mail, and find something awesome to do! We have a list of some ideas 
at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_ideas_for_2011 but don't 
limit yourself to that list. Find a mentor, and make your idea happen!

Mentors should apply to be a mentor[1] in Google's Melange instance. be 
inviting those who are listed on the Ideas page. We've still some work to do 
before the student applications open, some scaffolding to build, and some 
things to decide, so please join in. I'll be sending mentors more information 
soon.

[1]: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/apply_mentor/google/gsoc2011 -- 
we're listed as The Fedora Project

Uhm,

KMess is already in our repos, please don't encourage users to install 
random rpms like this.

What usually happens when someone wants an update like this is that they ask 
the maintainer (cc'd) to update the package, and not provide some random 
rpm of questionable quality to the users and developers list. Heck, you 
could even ask SMP if he needed a comaintainer for his package, and release 
a properly integrated and supported release.

Summer Coding 2011 -- Do *you* have any ideas?

2011-01-09 Thread Ryan Rix
Hey Fedorans!

Do you have a pet feature in Fedora or in our project's infrastructure that 
you've wanted to implement for a while but lack the time or desire to 
implement yourself? Do you want to see something awesome happen this summer? 
Do you want to see students working on Fedora, and getting involved in our 
community working full time on someone else's dime? ;)

If you can answer any of those questions with a 'yes!' then you are cut out to 
make yourself a mentor in this summer's Summer of Code. As Karsten posted[1] 
last week, we need to get things going if we want to participate in Google's 
Summer of Code program.

We need ideas, and we need mentors. If you are interested in working with a 
University student this summer on $pet_feature or $pet_project, please add 
your idea to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_ideas_for_2011 so 
that we have a ton of ideas to apply not only to our application for Google's 
Summer of Code, but also our own Fedora Summer Coding adventures!

in particular) are asking us to break with the updates policy and general 
distaste for a fast moving distro.

When it comes down to it, KDE and The Board's Fedora simply don't work 
together, and that is basically what Kev is getting so miffed about, as far as 
I can tell. Yes, he's loud, yes he's fiery, but damn, at least he cares, and I 
don't blame him for caring. He's put a lot of heart and a lot of effort into 
Fedora, as has everyone in the KDE SIG, and the entire Project. We could fork, 
hell the KDE SIG has talked about it in the past, but it hurts everyone 
involved. Everyone.

I've put a lot of thought into simply stepping away from Fedora, at least on 
the KDE end of things if these changes go through because, in some ways, the 
Board's vision will change things for us, and for me in particular. I joined 
Fedora as a distribution whose goals and processes catered towards creating a 
KDE environment which simply kicked ass, was always on the edge of what was 
available (sometimes in front of it)... Yet even now, we can't keep up with 
what (some of) our users want: the latest KDE, on KDE's release day, whether 
it's a major release, or a point release. Yes, not every one of our users is 
this way, but many are, and many use Fedora for this very reason. How do we 
keep everyone happy? If we're a distro pushing the development of open source, 
shouldn't we be pushing it towards those types of users? We could make rawhide 
usable, but that can stub development of some major features, it's a tough 
medium. We could fork Fn+1 even earlier, and make it stabler and have 12 
months in Rawhide... There are solutions to our problems, but endless 
bickering and oh you should just leave!s aren't going to solve anything and 
just leave everyone in a pissy and unproductive mood. Personally, it depresses 
the hell out of me.

Btw, everyone seems to be acting really unexcellent to each other... I'm not 
calling anyone, but both sides of this are really getting out of control... 
Please keep the mailing list friendly. We don't have hall monitors anymore, 
but reading this mailing list shouldn't effect my blood pressure as much as it 
does.

Ryan just another POV, back to the shadows Rix

Call for Participation - Fedora 14 Talking Points

2010-07-29 Thread Ryan Rix
Hello my Fedora friends!

Talking points are key highlights of the new release. They should be
compelling, but they will not necessarily be comprehensive. There are
different types of talking points for different types of people:
general desktop users/everyone, developers, and sysadmins.  For the
Fedora 14 cycle, we will also have talking points to address some of
the Spins. They are meant to provide a short, effective answer to the
question, What cool stuff is in the latest release of Fedora?

Each cycle, the Marketing team compiles a short list of approximately
three talking points for each of these audiences for the upcoming
release. For Fedora 14, they're found here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_Talking_Points

If you have a talking point that you feel meets the criteria found on
the talking points SOP page at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talking_points_SOP, add it to the the
table on the F14 page with supporting information. Please make your
contributions and changes on the wiki page, so that the Marketing team
can efficiently capture and consider your input.

The Marketing team will make final adjustments to the list of talking
points at their meeting on August 3, which will be announced on the
marketing list and is open to everyone.  If you are interested in
attending the meeting, the agenda, location, and time details can be
found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_meetings.  Following
the meeting, the finalized list of talking points will be announced,
and posted to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_Talking_Points.

We welcome you to participate in the process!

All the best!

Re: selinux issue with wine

On Wed 28 July 2010 02:38:24 Ankur Sinha wrote:
 hi,
 
 I've recently come across an selinux issue.
 
 Is this another selinux issue with the package?

The detailed description says exactly why the notice came up, dude. It's not 
an SElinux issue, it's a windows-applications-trying-to-do-stupid-things-with-
memory-that-is-barely-okay-in-windows issue.

 (I don't want to switch off selinux.)
 
 regards,
 Ankur
 
  Summary:
  
  SELinux has prevented wine from performing an unsafe memory operation.
  
  Detailed Description:
  
  SELinux denied an operation requested by wine-preloader, a program used
  to run Windows applications under Linux. This program is known to use an
  unsafe operation on system memory but so are a number of malware/exploit
  programs which masquerade as wine. If you were attempting to run a
  Windows program your only choices are to allow this operation and reduce
  your system security against such malware or to refrain from running
  Windows applications under Linux. If you were not attempting to run a
  Windows application this indicates you are likely being attacked by some
  for of malware or program trying to exploit your system for nefarious
  purposes. Please refer to
  http://wiki.winehq.org/PreloaderPageZeroProblem Which outlines the other
  problems wine encounters due to its unsafe use of memory and solutions to
  those problems.
  
  Allowing Access:
  
  If you decide to continue to run the program in question you will need to
  allow this operation. This can be done on the command line by executing:
  # setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
  
  Fix Command:
  
  /usr/sbin/setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1

 Its certainly related to plugins. I don't have flash installed but I
 did have java installed. Now I don't and it doesn't crash. It worked
 fine with the original F-13 release so its regressed along the way but
 it does work with no plugins OK.

Re: dist-git project update

On Thu 10 June 2010 2:44:47 pm Jesse Keating wrote:
 It's been a while since I last updated folks on dist-git, and in reality
 it's been a while since I last worked on it.  Fedora 13 took up all my
 time.
 
 Since my last update we've made great progress on fedpkg, the new tool
 that will replace the make system.  It is packaged up with
 fedora-packager and has the ability to do many tasks that our Make
 system handled.  Here is a quick list:
 
 build
 chainbuild
 clean
 clog
 clone
 compile
 gimmespec
 install
 lint
 local
 mockbuild
 new
 new_sources
 prep
 scratchbuild
 sources
 srpm
 unusedpatches
 verrel
 
 Many of these targets take optional arguments which extend their
 functionality and replace some other specific Make targets.  This list
 is enough to get us checking code out and in, and building in koji.
 
 On the koji front we've recently discovered the changes necessary to
 build from dist-git style repos, and those changes are being polished up
 and committed upstream.  We have done multiple builds successfully from
 dist-git repos.
 
 Where do we go from here?
 
 We're ready for more wide scale testing, and to facilitate that I am
 refreshing the git repos from current CVS (people with existing clones
 will have to blow them away and re-clone), and getting a koji stage
 instance up that we can build against (with limited builders).  We'll
 then push out another fedora-packager update that has the right URLs to
 build against this stage Koji and announce that it is ready for
 building.
 
 Based on this testing, and some decisions around git tagging and branch
 usage, we stand a good chance at being able to roll this out prior to
 the F14 branch event.  I hope you are all as excited as I am about this!

How will this affect current packagers' workflow? Will the changes necessary 
be documented on the wiki? It doesn't seem straight off the bat that this 
would be a drop-in replacement without packagers needing to tweak their 
workflow.

The same way you do it for any distro... System Settings-Appearance-
Workspace, set Workspace Type to Netbook. There aren't any packages to 
install outside of the default kde packages (kdebase-workspace for the 
minimum, or @kde-desktop for the full kde packageset.)

Note that for Fedora 14, we're targeting the creation of a KDE netbook 
spin which will automate all of this...

But this isn't really related to the Development of Fedora at all...

 Maybe it's suitable to retire gtk 1.2 in F14 or F15, then remove it to
 rpmfusion for a compatible reason as python 2.4.

We retired PPC because there wasn't enough manpower behind it. Not because it 
was obsolete. There are still people who have ppc machines, just as there are 
probably still people using gtk+ 1.2-dependant packages.

I seriously doubt that is the common use case for majority of fedora
  
  users.
 
 I think intermittent Internet connections are actually extremely common.
 Think laptops/notebooks/netbooks. For frequent travelers, even only 5
 mins/day of Internet access might be a realistic estimate, though a bit
 extreme. But ntpd is already a FAIL with much more uptime than that.

Here is how I see this: The user installs their system for the first time, 
they set their clock using NTP while they have the connection to the 
internet when they installed their packageset/updates. Now they have an 
accurate clock.

How much drift can happen that each and every time they connect to the 
internet, even if it's only for five minutes, would they need to resync 
their clock? I have NTP disabled altogether on this machine, and since 
I've installed it, it's still within about 5 seconds of my mother's 
Windows machine which _does_ have ntp disabled. 

I find that having NTP enabled in most cases for mobile systems is simply 
unnecessary; there is a large (I would say upwards of 95% in my most 
unscientific guessings) chance that these users aren't going to be doing 
anything which requires their clocks to be synced with any amount of 
precision. And if they are, they should _know_ that and be able to set up 
a tool (whether it is NTP or Crony) themselves. 

Imo the use cases for having a constantly synced-to-the-second clock are 
minimal at best.

 They still suck in the system integration 
 domain in many ways, e.g. openSUSE's KDE integration patches have yet to
 be  merged, and of course our maintainers refuse to merge openSUSE's
 patches due to the usual trademark concerns

In their defense, those patches are fairly messy.

Re: Shell commands like to OS/2 shell (or MS PowerShell)

 Hi folk,
 
 I want to propose new idea about names of command line utilites...
 
 For example, all present utilites have sence just for guru's (ls, rm,
 fsck etc), but for novies it's hard to use. Is good idea to symlink'ing
 (shell aliasing) these and much more utilz to another names? Like to:
 
 ls - filesystem.list
 rm - filesystem.remove
 fsck.* - filesystem.check.*
 mkfs.* - filesystem.make.*
 convert - media.convert.image
 mencoder - media.convert.video
 oggenc - media.convert.audio.ogg
 mplayer - media.player.*
 
 etc
 
 This idea will be easy to realize (need to make at first time one rpm
 package with lot of symlinks... and then long-time work in all present
 rpm-packages for respect this technology). But we need for
 standartization of alias names... in ideal case, standartization must
 touch all distros (new standard?)
 
 P.S. This not my idea. Originally from:
 http://translate.google.com/translate?js=yprev=_thl=enie=UTF-8layout=2;
 eotf=1u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.linux.org.ru%2Fforum%2Ftalks%2F4797323sl=rutl=e

 Thanks for attention.

I'm against making a mess of PATH with a crapload of symlinks. 
If this were to happen, it should happen at a bashrc alias level, and even 
then I'm still against it.

 We *have* a good distribution for great public. Kaddressbook works as
 expected for me. If you have a problem with it, ask for help and you
 get help.
 You got the right answer for what you asked. *You* want the older
 version. Good luck downgrading and have fun with it.

I suggested that Juha fix his issue by downgrading simply because of this. 
He was the same person who has been complaining about KAddressbook in 4.4 
since its initial release, two months ago.

If that is the case it is extremely short sighted of them.
