Fedora 有问有答

GIMP 2.4.1 与 Fedora 7

Hasson Ofer <hassonofer AT gmail.com> : Will you make official gimp 2.4.1 package to fedora 7 ?

I've requested the push: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F7/pending/gimp-2.4.1-1.fc7

These are the update notes as of now:

This update is a major version change. Please test thoroughly. Don't flag it as working unless you have done really extensive testing! I don't want to push this to stable too soon.

For new features and other changes, please read the release notes of GIMP 2.4 on the web: http://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.4.html

GIMP 2.4 is supposed to be compatible to older GIMP 2.x versions as far as plug-ins are concerned. It also uses the TinyScheme interpreter now for Script-Fu scripts which is a bit less forgiving about certain programming errors. If you use custom Script-Fu scripts, you might have to fix them to work in GIMP 2.4. Read the Script-Fu Migration Guide on the web for further information: http://www.gimp.org/docs/script-fu-update.html

自动安全更新

Jenni and Adri <jattas AT supernerd.com.au> : I am a new user of Fedora and notice the regular updates. Some of them are huge. I have a 1 Gb monthly down and upload allowance and after that my ISP slows the speed of my internet service down. I used to let the updates download regardless, but I discovered that the size was that large that I nearly lost all capacity in the first 5 or 6 days of the month.

My question is: Is it possible to indicate the size of the automatic down loads so that I know how large the down loads are, so that I can do these down loads when it is the end of the service month?

While the software updater (Pup) does not show the size of the updates, there are two nifty yum plugins that can save you the hassle of keeping track of package sizes. The first is a plugin called yum-security that shows only the security updates and the second is a plugin called yum-presto [1] that downloads only the binary diff's on software updates instead of a full new package and can save you quite a lot of bandwidth and time. Use a combination of both and you don't have to worry about running out of bandwidth.

Gecko-libs 由 xulrunner 提供

An important change for applications which depend on gecko-libs was announced[1] by MartinStransky. The firefox-devel packages will no longer exist and instead are replaced by xulrunner-devel which provides gecko-libs. Martin explained that Firefox would henceforth be shipped as a pure XUL application running on Xulrunner[2] . Martin requested maintainers of packages fox-devel to test rebuilds against xulrunner and to contact him or Chris.

在 Udev 中自动加载内核模块

The splitting out of various I2C[1] tools from the lm_sensors package led HansdeGoede to observe[2] that the OpenSUSE specfile, upon which he was basing his work, was creating character devices on the fly. Hans was also adding an alias into /etc/modprobe.conf.dist which caused the i2c-dev kernel module to be automagically loaded. He wondered if this was the correct approach to the problem and asked if someone could explain how loop.ko worked as it solved the same problem.

[2] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-November/msg01027.html

BillNottingham answered[3] that the udev rule /etc/udev/makedev.d/50-udev.nodes created the loop device and requested further details of the modules behind the i2c device. MattDomsch linked[4] to the kernel list to show that his work on DMI-based module autoloading might make it possible to do something similar to what he had done for the dcdbas module.

Fedora 9 外观方案？

MichaelBeckwith has brought to our attention that Fedora 9 theme ideas need to start rolling in[1] . He emphasis ideas that revolve around the idea of "Freedom". So let your creative side come forth and spawn something truly beautiful for the next release.
