[opensuse-factory] CASA updates always defunc rpm
by Dominique Leuenberger 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

Hi everybody, just wondering if anybody of you sees the same behavior; whenever I run zypper up (or also using yast software installer) to update my packages, whenever it reaches CASA it get's stuck. Typically I can see rpm being <defunced> in the process list. all I can do is either kill y2base (in case I use graphical) or zypper. It seems to be one of the only packages actually having this behavior.

[opensuse-factory] need help with makeSUSEdvd error under openSUSE 11.1
by Mark Meyer 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

hello all, environment: openSuSE 11.1 makeSUSEdvd 0.46.9 (downloaded from sourceforge) error when running makeSUSEdvd: cd:/content: Invalid signature. Installation aborted. my questions in a nutshell: 1) are there additional steps i need to know about or run to create a customized dvd with makeSUSEdvd so that i do not receive the error message? 2) do i need to un-comment the three (3) snippets of code, inside of makeSUSEdvd, way below - to create a modified distro that will NOT fail when it boots up? after doing some googling on the error message above, i found this archived message thread from this mailing list (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2009-01/msg00324.html) after reading the thread - i basically understand what is being proposed by Nico - but after looking at the source code for makeSUSEdvd v. 0.46.9 - it appears as though the proposed changes have been placed in the code - but commented out! example code pulled from my /usr/bin/makeSUSEdvd in function PUT_KEY_IN_INITRD: ... # extract the installkey.gpg keyring # cpio -i -u "installkey.gpg" <"${INITRD}.uncomp" # rename it inside the archive # pax -s /installkey.gpg/old.gpg/ -f "${INITRD}.uncomp" &>/dev/null # now create a new keyring from the merged keys # rm "pubring.gpg" # gpg --trust-model always \ # --keyring ./pubring.gpg \ # --no-default-keyring \ # --import installkey.gpg &>/dev/null ... tm -- Mark Meyer Senior Software Engineer Primex Family Of Companies 965 S.

[opensuse-factory] RPM 4.6 / openSUSE
by Dominique Leuenberger 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

Hi, as you probably heard / read, rpm.org released version 4.6 of rpm. Novell is one of the companies actively supporting this branch of RPM. I was thus wondering if RPM 4.6 will be used to get closer to upstream (again) or if we actually drifted that far off that going to the (now again) maintained version is not yet possible. >From what I understood, RPM 4.6 marks LZMA support as experimental.. we from openSUSE can probably say it works pretty well for us.

[opensuse-factory] Netinstall CD factory x86_86

Is http://download.opensuse.org/factory/iso/openSUSE-Factory-NET-x86_64- Build0017-Media.iso considered to be OK ? When I tried it , it didn't load any harddisk controler modules. So there was no media to install on. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] post-2.6.27 - when (aka partitions above 15 on SATA)?
by Felix Miata 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Other dev distros I dabble with are into 2.6.29rcX already. Factory is still on 2.6.27. What's the story? When does Factory get kernels that give people access to all their partitions (requires 2.6.28 or above) (e.g. partitions >15 on SATA controllers unserved by legacy drivers)? -- "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up."

[opensuse-factory] latest factory update
by Stephan Kulow 15 Feb '09

15 Feb '09

Hi, My last factory update was 1.48GiB and today's is "only" 888,6 MiB and we're still finding bugs where packages build more often than they have to, so I guess the one after will be even smaller (even though a large portion of my updates is 139MiB kernel-default-debuginfo, which I don't think too many have installed). And there are still some possible optimizations looking for volunteers. E.g. all .jar and .zip files are considered different because they contain the timestamp of the files. Or mono files - if someone knows how to make sure two .dlls or .exes are equal, feel free to submitreq build-compare Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Czech Packagers Meeting minutes 2009-02-03
by anicka＠suse.cz 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Czech Packagers Meeting minutes 2009-02-03 ========================================== Present: anicka, mhrusecky, mseben, mvyskocil, nadvornik, prusnak, sbrabec Minutes: anicka Topics: (1) Missing Manpages (1) Missing Manpages ==================== As an internal discussion shows, most of the developers generally agree that policy of having manpage for every executable would bring us benefits. There are several different ways how to do it: We could profit on the fact that Debian has similar policy for ages and their manpages are usually written in a very good quality. But we would have to find a way how to keep our different versions of packages in sync with these manpages. We could also generate very simple manpages containing just a link to the proper documention using ie. help2man. We think that as for packages with upstream reluctant to take care for manpages, common repository for all the distributors would be a great help. And of course, executables might be just a first step - it would be very convenient to have a manpage containing useful information for every config file, or, especially, for every init script. Status reports: =============== anicka - rrdtool: work on #467362 - mediawiki: fix CVE-2008-5250, CVE-2008-5252 (bnc#459058) - puppet: work on #465778 - pciutils: update to 3.1.2 - openssh: close #464315, #459287 - perl modules: fix some of them to run testsuites correctly mhrusecky - updating MyODBC-unixODBC - working on bnc#420817 mseben - investigating #225463 - atd priority queue fix - working on amanda 2.6.1 update - working on new kchmviewer4 package mvyskocil - fixed bnc#468886: matthewlib-java unix server socket creation crashes due to a linking problem - checked some jexec problems in bugzilla: bnc#468970, bnc#471179 * all are duplicate of fixed bnc#463582 (in maintenance queue) - split a java-binfmt-misc from jpackage-utils and wrote a manual page for both packages.

[opensuse-factory] mono - a dead duck?
by Sid Boyce 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

I've read the hype. Both moonshine and moonlight plugins don't work and I've tried using monodevelop (previous mono version and now 2.2) to build .NET sources, all a big failure and seemingly only good for code written specially for mono. Am I flogging a dead horse or am I missing a clue or two? Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
