OLPC Package Status
This is a list of packages currently forked from Fedora 9.
OLPC has a list that includes the reasoning behind some of these issues: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Distro_Version_Migration_Nastiness
Unforkable
The following packages should no longer be forked. They can be untagged, and should no longer be built against or included.
| Package Name | Related Bug(s) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| sugar-presence-service | Using F9 packages now. | |
| abiword | should not be needed. PBR - might be a perl dependency now (abw2html.pl) | |
| ntp | 456116 | was because of perl requirement, which was dropped in F-9 |
| pyabiword | should not be needed. | |
| sugar-artwork | no longer using. | |
| sugar | no longer using. | |
| dotconf | .spec file identical to F-9 | |
| python-dotconf | .spec file identical to F-9 | |
| speech-dispatcher | .spec file identical to F-9 | |
| sugar-toolkit | no longer using, using F-9 packages now | |
| sugar-datastore | no longer using, using F-9 packages now | |
| sugar-base | no longer using, using F-9 packages now | |
| pygame | rhbz#457074 | should use fedora's, once F9 has updated to 1.8 and uses numpy rather than numeric. I've volunteered to comaintain this and will fix it when I can. -RobinNorwood Aug 12, 2008 |
Forked for deps
The following packages are forked because the Fedora version pulls in too many dependencies. We should work with the Fedora package owner to split the package so the extra deps aren't pulled in.
| Package Name | Related Bug(s) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| xorg-x11-utils | 456609 | dropped some dependencies, fixed in Fedora for F10 |
| sugar-evince | olpc#7926, olpc#7926 | minimal evince for the XO, should be in fedora and pulled in from there |
| SDL_mixer | Droped perl | |
| gnome-python2 | rhbz#456122 | needed to drop deps, package should be split up some so that we can use fedora's package |
| gstreamer-plugins-base | 456118 462620 | needed to drop perl dependency there is one plugin that pulls in perl. First bug is for OLPC fork, the second is a request to split out into sub package. |
| gstreamer-plugins-good | PBR - There looks to be a fork of this that is no longer required. Can someone confirm? | |
| gnome-vfs2 | 456119 | needed to drop some dependencies, also had to add a patch to make it work even if ~/.gnome2 doesn't exist. PBR - Q: What about the new gio? |
| totem | need a minimal totem that doesnt bring in perl and some gnome libraries, F-9's was horribly broken, we are using totem from rawhide. Also had to add a patch to disable CPU-hungry audio visualization in the browser plugin. | |
| totem-pl-parser | rhbz#456113, rhbz#522639 | Forked to drop huge dep chain |
| gnash | forked for deps |
Forked for features
The following packages have patches or other differences required by the XO hardware or the OLPC software. We should work with the Fedora package owner to integrate the patches or changes with the Fedora packages where possible.
| Package Name | Related Bug(s) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| poppler | 456602 | sugar-evince does not work against the latest version of poppler. Should be easy to fix but needs to be done when OLPC development is not frozen. |
| texlive | rebuild against the old poppler | |
| telepathy-salut/OLPC- | has a patch that disables security that upstream wouldnt take. wanted them to add it as a run time option. the dbus security breaks rainbow because rainbow executes activites as different uid's, and the uids of the activities dont have proper permissions | |
| telepathy-gabble | same issues as telepathy-salut | |
| xorg-x11-server | needed to enable evdev. Fedora disables it because evdev wasn't ready for F9. It may be in F10. - August 12, 2008 | |
| libX11 | olpc#7474 | This is to fix a bug which affects the Amharic keyboard layout, and it affects the Fedora package as well. Sayamindu Dasgupta will complete the patch, and submit it.
F-9 package as well. |
| NetworkManager | we are using 0.6.x there is work being done to move to 0.7, see wiki page | |
| olpcsound | its a subset of csound for the XO; olpc doesn't want to carry a tk/tcl dependency, which is built into csound. We should have this version included in Fedora alongside csound. | |
| olpc-utils | olpc only though could likely live in fedora just fine | |
| ohm | makes no sense on any other hardware though wouldnt hurt being fedora. | |
| hulahop | needs pyxpcom which is not enabled in fedora's xulrunner | |
| xulrunner | 454890 436581 | needed to enable pyxpcom it needs to get enabled in fedora so that browse can work, caillon is working on this. - August 12, 2008. Also forked to remove deps. |
| initscripts | What sort of changes are being made here? JeremyKatz -August 12, 2008 | |
| upstart | init doesnt run as pid 1 due to the way the intramfs runs, this needs to be fixed. -August 12, 2008 | |
| xkeyboard-config | changed some keymappings, really should get fixed properly. A few patches from OLPC are still outstanding, but should be included in the next release. | |
| fedora-release | different macros for dist. probbaly should write a olpc-release just for olpc | |
| kernel | (not built in koji right now) Deepak Saxena will provide more details later. August 12, 2008 |
Forked forever
These packages will always have to be forked:
(None for now)
Fixed: Merged with Fedora mainline
These packages are now merged with upstream
