VncLauncher doesn't run on F11
Hi, Using VncLauncher-4 on F11: it fails to start the VNC server because the binary links against the wrong version of libssl. This activity is used very often in deployments for presentations, training sessions, etc, so it would be nice to have a new version.

Some time around F-11 Fedora moved from the standard vnc to tigervnc for various different reasons (don't remember the exact time or reasons).

olpc-bios-crypto: new f-9 and f-11 builds.
The recent changes to antitheft-related scripts and various bugfixen are now rolled into a new RPM for F-9 (available in the olpcxs-testing repo), and I have also rolled a F11 RPM that works well in F12 as well. Unfortunately, Daniel's work to make the binaries use nice dynamically loaded libraries had to be partially reverted, I could not make the resulting binaries not segfault. As part of the same, I have also partially reverted the package splitoff -- the utilities are still bundled in the main package. These dynlib issues do not affect functionality -- and these issues can wait until someone who knows about dynamic library loading can debug this.

stopwatch activity
I noticed something interesting with he stopwatch activity on the XO 1.5 C2 with build 120. When the XO goes into suspend, the clock stops display, but upon resume, will show actual time elapsed (clock keep counting). Mark also works correctly, displaying the time when the Mark button is clicked, irrespective of the display. I'm not sure what the behavior should be, though. Should the activity prevent suspend? cheers, Sameer -- Dr. Sameer Verma, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Information Systems Director, Campus Business Solutions San Francisco State University http://verma.sfsu.edu/ http://opensource.sfsu.edu/ http://cbs.sfsu.edu/ http://is.sfsu.edu/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Most stopwatches don't stop running by themselves, so I don't see why ours should. Should the activity prevent suspend? My philosophy is that suspend should be _absolutely transparent_ to the user; i.e. its effects should not be detectable, in the same way that processor voltage scaling is undetectable. This suggests that Stopwatch should inhibit suspend while it is visible onscreen. I'm reluctant to do this, though, because it feels like an ugly hack. The right solution would be for the suspend system to recognize that Stopwatch has a timer set to expire in 100 ms, and postpone suspend. --Ben ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Probably yes, but not so sure I want to leave such a task in the hands of the deployment here, as this is something that will have to be repeated for time to come.

I was bringing it (and the spec) in line with normal packaging: In most packaging systems, make install is run with DESTDIR as some build root (in this case, the RPM build root), and then all the files are moved to / during installation. If the symlinks are made absolutely and consider DESTDIR, then they will be broken at time of package installation (still pointing into the RPM build root).
