{
EDIT: tpowa pointed out that 'which' does not exist at this point.
Convert to [ -x /usr/bin/install-info ] format, and use the full path
everywhere just to be sure
}

This idea is Thomas', I take no credit, except that I actually wrote it up.

The idea:
texinfo, on install, processes all info files. bash and glibc (and,
likely, other packages in core) no longer need to depend on texinfo,
but should check for install-info in the scriptlets before running.

a) user installs bash and glibc. No info files are processed, texinfo
not installed
user then installs texinfo, all info files are processed
b) user installs texinfo first (somehow)
user then installs bash, info files processed due to existence of
install-info
c) user follows case a or b
user upgrades bash or glibc, info files processed as normal due to
presence of install-info

Any issues with this? See attached patch. Please review. If possible,
this needs to go to core before we release the ISOs.

Can anyone with CNI experience please help with this bug? I have heard
of lots of people using pdftk and it would be nice if it was available
in Fedora.

I've just opened a launchpad bug with the symptoms described below, I
don't know if any other of
us have had anything similar happen to them. using 'forward' here, I
have 'kmix' completely covered
with a 'sbr' and I have to run the cursor over the time/date icon to
make it show up.

Public bug reported:

The task bar is absolutely correct until I attempt to use mail, and only if I use new/write, reply, reply all, or forward do
I get the following symptoms.

While I am creating the body of the mail message, some or all of the icons are covered with solid blue rectangles,
each will clear momentarily when I run the cursor over it. The sbr does not interfere with the functionality of the
icon, I just have to remember where the icon I want is hidden. The worst task bar mess happens when I'm
replying to kubuntu-users-request!
When I hit send, the task bar sbrs settle down a bit and only blank out one or two icons, usually kmix and eth0

There are no sbr problems at the moment because I haven't sent any mail since I booted up.
I thought it might be Thunderbird causing the problem, so I set up KMail and used that, no difference, still the
same symptoms. So I thought the problem might be with the SMTP. But I got a similar problem when I logged
into my ISP account and sent mail from there.
This is as far as I've got, hope you can help.

I'm running kubuntu intrepid 8.10 with KDE 4.1.3 on a 64bit AMD Sempron

I sent this to the docs list when they started considering Zikula. Now
that we're setting up a test instance and getting some people on the
infrastructure team to work on it it seems like a good point in time to
forward it here.

One of the things I didn't know until I did some browsing around their
website is that Zikula started off as PostNuke but that they changed the
name in June. So they are a long term player in the CMS market.

I was impressed by a few of the things I've learned since this morning
:-) The answers to how proactive the security is was a nice change from
the usual thoughts I've seen::
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Zikula_IRC_Chat_Interview#t12:20

Here's my naive search of cve.mitre.org for issues reported in 2008.
Note that some people would say to exclude plugins from this but my view
is that we're going to be running plugins as part of our deployment and
we'll want to know if we can expand our capabilities by pulling in
functionality via plugins without compromising security. So knowing
this does a *little* towards understanding whether the Core provides an
API for writing secure plugins and the plugin community is security
minded as well as Core developers. And like I say, this is naive :-)

91 Joomla -- Lots of plugins a few in core
79 Drupal -- Lots of plugins a few in core
60 Wordpress -- Lots of plugins, a few in core
53 Mambo --Lots of plugins, at least one in core
4 zikula + postnuke -- 1 in Core, 3 in plugins
1 midgard
0 zikula
0 enano

For reference, mediawiki, which we think has an acceptable
security-to-benefit ratio had 8 vulnerabilities reported in 2008 using
the same naive count.

Yeah, we are looking to migrate away for just this reason. It changes away from
what you need every upgrade.

Anyone else in a consulting/law firm/software dev shop who is a governemnt
contractor that needs to do cost accounting and wants it to be hosted on a linux
server? Let me know, we are going to have to do some thing else soon.

BTW, we just found out the Turbo Tax 2008 does not work with older version of
Quickbooks today.

I am able to host all files other than Quickbooks on Samba shares.
The issue with QuickBooks is they run their own WIndows

service on


port 10172 in addition to Windows file sharing.

We run QB Pro 2003, and it does not listen on any ports. We

also have

it on a samba share. Unsure about the perfomance, but it


works for us.

Beware - they tell you QB2007 needs XP and will not work under W2K -
this is rubbish, they just act as another marketing arm for Redmond.
Also this year with Turbo Tax 2008 they warn it will be the last year it
will work on W2K, let's wait and see.....

That sounds awfully low for Postnuke. Doing a quick google search of
postnuke security fixes and just looking at different releases.. there
should be about 20 with some amount in core and a lot in plugins. My
information about the current state of PostNuke is not good. I am
betting that they are doing a lot more for security but a number of 4
problems just was too low for the amount of systems I have had to
'clean' since 2002.

We haven't even installed it yet and the honeymoon is over? Just
curious, what kind of problems did you have? Script kiddies or targeted
attacks?

We have options with mod_security as well. I do want to make sure we have
ourselves covered.
