Czech Packagers Team (Prague) meeting 2008-06-26 ================================================ Present: anosek, anicka, jmatejek, lmichnovic, mkudlvasr, mmarek, mvyskocil, nadvornik, pgajdos, prusnak, puzel, sbrabec Minutes: lmichnovic Topics: (1) Python-xml dependency split off of inkscape (2) Lzma compression for man pages (3) Package puppet available in Build Service (4) The improvements in the Scout (5) Python 2.6 and 3.0 (1) Python-xml dependency split off of inkscape Sbrabec wants to create script which will split off inkscape package on depending and non depending subpackages on python-xml. Python-xml is not included on the LiveCD thus inkscape lacks functionality. (2) Lzma compression for man pages Prusnak suggested to compress man pages with lzma algorithm to save more space on the user's disk. We made some investigation and result is not so profitable: only 2% of disk space allocated to man pages. (3) Package puppet available in Build Service Anicka put the puppet package into Build Service repo home:anicka:puppet. You can test it. (4) The improvements in the Scout Mvyskocil works on various features and improvements in scout code. The scout currently has a python index files and a module. The code was rewritten to produce more flexibility, because the experimental B-DUS interface needs a some changes in code. The output system is now more flexible and the initial support for unittests helps with a found and fix of the bug in a Database class, which comes from the old prototype code. There's also (a Czech) blogpost about scout published in http://www.abclinuxu.cz/blog/miblog/2008/6/scout-aneb-prohledavame-distribu… with more than 450 hits. And mvyskocil also prepared a demonstration usage of scout. When the Java application ends with NoClassDefFoundError/ClassNotFoundException, the wrapper script detects the name of the class, use a scout to find the name of required package, call zypper to install them and tries to re-run the application. The prusnak prepared and published a video, which show this demo - http://stick.gk2.sk/blog/?p=25 (5) Python 2.6 and 3.0 Jmatejek have put new Python version 2.6 and its successor Python version 3.0 into BETA and STABLE will follow.

[opensuse-factory] Samba latest not found
by Felix Miata 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

I went to http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ looking for latest Samba, and don't see it there or in the main oss repo. Shouldn't there be one in repositories? I need to check for a fix for a bug in cifs-mount 3.2.0-21 and earlier that is supposed to have been put in the latest version. -- "Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry."

That's unacceptable. ."

Arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities in Ruby may lead to a denial of service http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2008/06/20/arbitrary-code-execution-vulner… I'd like to have and updated package so I can fix this without breaking future updates for the ruby package.

[opensuse-factory] Bugreports go to black hole?
by Andrew Joakimsen 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

What sort of "community" distribution is this? I submit bugreports but then when I search the bugzilla they do not appear. Why is that? How long typically does it take to get a report rejected after its submitted? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
