[Server-devel] problems installing xs-activation on F12

2010-04-27 Thread Daniel Drake
http://fedora.laptop.org/xs/stable/olpc/xs-0.6/i386/xs-activation-0.2.39.g2277cdf-1.xs9.noarch.rpm

Straightforward rpm -ivh of the RPM gives dependency errors. It needs:
olpc-contents
python = 2.5
python-json
usbmount
xs-tools


olpc-contents and python-json easily installed by yum.

xs-tools requires python 2.5.

usbmount installs with the RPM.

The packages that need python-2.5 install their files in the wrong
place for a python-2.6 system.

Does a recompile of this against a F-12 system not fix the python 2.5
- 2.6 problem?

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.
The mail was mostly to inform Martin that its not such a smooth ride
as we hoped for in another thread.

On my list for today (together with olpc-bios-crypto). A rebuild of
the srpm  will probably fail because in the F9 series, the specfile
has python path hardcoded.

I have an updated spec file with paths reading from rpm macros,
together with other spec fixes, already in git.

[Server-devel] olpc-bios-crypto - relative vs abs symlinks?

2010-04-27 Thread Martin Langhoff
Curious - I see in your makefile and spec fixups you've changes the
obc-* symlinks from abs to relative. Is it better in some sense in the
context of an RPM?

(A quick check if my /usr/*bin/ on F9 build box shows a mix of abs and rel).

cheers,

Can't recall, but I suspect it would have been something in fedora
package guidelines, or a complaint from rpmlint.

Now I recall. 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).

Thanks for the clarification. Many Fedora pkgs have abs symlinks though.

I can see why it is tricky to differentiate between the target path in
the build root and the installed target path. The way I'd done it was
yielding the right results ;-)

cheers,

[Server-devel] problema con Instalacion XS

2010-04-27 Thread Kevin Mauricio Benavides Castro
Hola a todos

he notado que en algunas computadoras de escritorio especialmente con las
DELL

esta vez trate de instalar el XS en una DELL y el mensaje que aparece es



SELinux: Could not open police file =
/etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy/policy.23: No such file or directory
Unable to load SELinux policy (No such file or directory). Halting now.


y lo mas extraño es que cuando le doy la instalación normal no cargar en
entorno gráfico del XS para la instalación
