Subject: Some bugs that still need work.
Date: Sun, 12 Jun 2005 23:51:11 -0500
Whine I shall not, however some things should be brought to the attention
of the Fedora Core user community.
1. GPilot still doesn't work.
( still crashes when trying to do initial sync and can't get any further )
2. There's problems with the RPM gui frontend.
( if I try to use it it complains about /media/cdrom being an invalid
installation source. Or if I try to use the autorun programs on CD's
like the RHEL Extras CD to add the CD to the RPM sources )
3. There seems to be a problem with up2date whining about sources...
( The applet has been unable to access the following information sources
in its last attempts:
development @
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/
...
This causes ill effects on rhn-applet-gui ( and tui ) and up2date-gnome.
Latest booboo is:
There was a fatal error communicating with the server. The
message was:
An HTTP error occurred:
URL:
http://ftp.dulug.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386//headers/header.info
Status Code: 404
Error Message: Not Found
)
4. At least on June 12, 2005 it is impossible to install xfce4 with YUM or
up2date.
( Not all the packages are there. )
5. SELinux rules are still broken, and Firewall still has trouble with
active FTP.
( Last time I had SELinux enabled I couldn't even boot correctly. That
could be passive ftp.. I'm
not sure... its the one that doesn't have a predetermined port to
connect to. )
6. XMMS isn't in development or extras tree.
( Had to use Freshrpms repo... Probably isn't that big of a deal, but I
know I'd miss it.
And Extras repo HAS some xmms plugins so it probably should have xmms
too... )
Those are my only gripes with the FC4 release. Other than these things, I
have noticed nothing but
improvement in this latest version, with the upgrade to new versions of
some really big programs.
I would like to ask the Fedora Core community to keep up the great work. :)

P.S. Some of the RPM problems could be caused because I used the FTP
install method instead of CDROM,
but I think that if that causes problems there must be some bugs with the
FTP install code in anaconda.
