[P]lus, for someone of his demographic and biography, it was more than a little fake. (Did the Harvard Law Review Editor hugging Derrick Bell in that 1991 video really think two men shouldn't be allowed to get married?)I love the totally gratuitous homoeroticism McWhorter allowed into his question by having the men hugging.
"Someone of his demographic and biography" is an unusual phrase. Who else has Obama's biography? McWhorter speaks as if this is the sort of person we just know, from experience. But Obama is unique in the history of the world. Who knows who the authentic Obama is? I've read his autobiography, and I got the impression that he himself could never figure it out, and I'm deprived of the actual answer to the question whether he was conning us, and I barely have a guess whether he knew if he was.
If Obama believes in same-sex marriage... what does that even mean for someone of his demographic and biography? Of course, if you go to Harvard Law School and merge/mingle with the elite you get the message of what you're supposed to think, but then... do you really think it? Do you lose touch with what you really think? Of does even that question disguise the real question which is whether there's a real you at the core who thinks anything at all?
(And I'm saying that as a lawprof who has lived amidst the lawprof liberals for more than 3 decades now and who willingly admits that I lost track of what I really thought for myself or whether there was a true self that thought anything at all.)

Shanghai Disneyland receives 5.5 million tourists in 2020, recovering to 52% of 2019
Date: 2021-04-05
On April 1, the theme exhibition of the first Shanghai Tourism Industry Expo officially opened, and the 2020 Shanghai tourism report card was also announced. In 2020, Shanghai received 236 million domestic tourists and achieved domestic tourism revenue of 280.95 billion yuan, which is more than the national average. The levels are 18% and 20% higher respectively. It is expected that by the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, on the basis of 2020, Shanghai's total tourism revenue, tourism investment, and the number of scenic spots with tens of millions of annual visits will be doubled.
200,000 visitors were attracted 3 days before the Expo
Previously, on March 29th and March 30th, Shanghai International Hotel and Catering Industry Expo and Shanghai International Hotel and Commercial Space Expo were held respectively at Hongqiao National Convention and Exhibition Center and Pudong New International Expo Center. Ushered in overwhelming popularity.
Today, the theme exhibition of the Shanghai Tourism Industry Expo and the Shanghai International Boat Show & Lifestyle Shanghai Show were unveiled at the Pudong World Expo Exhibition Hall. More than 5,000 exhibitors gathered in the three major exhibition halls of 600,000 square meters, connecting the entire tourism industry chain and becoming an outbreak. The world's largest travel expo ever since. According to the organizer's statistics, the number of visitors in the first three days of the Shanghai Tourism Expo has exceeded 200,000, indicating that China's tourism industry has resumed its growth vitality and the industry has great potential.
In the more than a year since the outbreak, the tourism industry has ushered in many changes and new trends. Fang Shizhong, director of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, stated in his speech at the "2021 Shanghai Tourism Industry Summit Forum" that in recent years, tourism consumption has increasingly become a rigid need for a well-off life, a necessity for a better life, and a standard for quality life, and it is an important force supporting the new development pattern. From the demand side, there are three changes in tourism consumption. First, the tourist destination has changed from global travel to domestic travel and local travel. Picnic tours and surrounding tours are very popular. Shanghai's country boutique homestays and theme resort hotels have repeatedly experienced the phenomenon of "hard to find a room" on weekends and holidays, which is powerful. Promoted and activated the Shanghai consumer market.
Second, the mode of travel has shifted from group tours to family tours and customized tours. Private groups with family-based groups with only 3 to 5 people on average have emerged. In some popular routes and destinations, private groups account for more than 20% . Third, tourism preferences have shifted from traditional sightseeing tours to vacations, leisure and in-depth experience. The epidemic has made slow-paced, themed, and immersive tourism a "sweet pastry". In 2020, Shanghai Disneyland will receive 5.5 million tourists, which is equivalent to 52% of 2019, and its annual revenue is equivalent to 54%. It is the world's best large-scale theme park that has recovered since the epidemic.
"Shanghai Tourism" double plan will be implemented
On the other hand, the supply side of the cultural tourism market is also undergoing digital transformation, and technology empowerment has become an important path for the development of the industry. For some time to come, integrated cultural and tourism consumption will gradually replace the single ticket economy and become the point of income growth in the future. Scenic spots will move from "ticket economy" to "industrial economy", and the multi-industry integration of "tourism+" and "+tourism" tourism business and sports exhibitions Become the norm.
In this context, how can Shanghai tourism embark on a path of high-quality and resilient growth? In response, Fang Shizhong said that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Shanghai will implement the "Shanghai Tourism" doubling plan and achieve Shanghai's growth by the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. Development indicators such as total tourism revenue, tourism investment, and the number of tens of millions of tourists have doubled.
The "Shanghai Tourism" doubling plan will mainly include four major development points. In terms of smooth internal circulation and concentrating efforts to develop the domestic tourism market, Shanghai will take the opportunity of celebrating the centenary of the founding of the party, based on the red culture, Shanghai style culture, and Jiangnan culture, to comprehensively promote the in-depth integration of cultural and tourism, and comprehensively enhance the "red classic tour" and "Pujiang" Cultural and tourism boutiques such as "Visit" and "Buildings can be read". Combining with the micro-renewal of the city, create more new tourism spaces shared by both the host and the guests.
In terms of focusing on new consumption and developing new forms of cross-border integration, Shanghai will vigorously develop "tourism+" and "+tourism" to foster new growth in tourism consumption. Encourage market entities to extend the industrial operation chain and improve diversified supply capabilities. At the same time, Shanghai will strengthen the empowerment of "new infrastructure" and accelerate the construction of smart tourism application scenarios. This year, it plans to build 20 smart scenic spots and 600 smart hotels, deepen online and offline interaction, and create a new era of smart tourism. At the same time, under the normalized situation of epidemic prevention, strengthen the ability to respond to tourism crises and build a global tourism safety net.

We respect your privacy and will NEVER sell, rent
or share your email address.
Let's face it, it can be a bit overwhelming thinking about your child getting older so quickly. As much as you want to think they are prepared for school, every parent has the same questions. Are they ready to socialize with their new classmates? Will they stay focused on the teacher during class and keep up with the other kids?
Our Tiger Tots program is designed to enhance your kids ability to pay attention and follow directions. In the age of sensory overload, this is a skill that will provide your kids with immediate results that will reflect positively on their academic work.
Positive Mental Attitude
High Goal-Setting
Respect & Self-Confidence
We focus on the personal development aspect of martial arts, not just self-defense moves.
Our instructors are all certified black belts, qualified and licensed to teach martial arts.
Our facility is always clean and features a viewing area for parents, as well as matted floors throughout.
Social interaction teaches kids how to effectively work as part of a team.
Martial arts helps improve coordination and is an excellent form of exercise.
Building healthy habits early on can help prevent obesity and diabetes later in life.
Belt testing provides an excellent exercise for kids in learning how to set and achieve goals. Their self-esteem will continue to rise with each accomplishment as they watch their hard work pay off.
Complex physical activities such as martial arts have proven to strengthen the brain's neural networks, helping kids improve their focus and self-control. This can be especially beneficial for kids with ADD/ADHD.
The traditional nature of martial arts teaches kids respect in their classes, whether they are taking a bow or waiting patiently for the next set of instructions. This sense of respect also helps kids improve their grades, while improving their listening skills at home and in school.
Our Tiger Tots program is for ages 3-5 and Taekwondo is for ages 6 and up.
All of our memberships offer a satisfaction guarantee for your first month and there are multiple membership lengths available after you decide that martial arts is right for your family.
Absolutely not! We have classes for all ability levels and no previous experience is required. More experienced members help new ones, and we make sure that everyone feels right at home on their first day of class.
Even though we practice self-defense moves and we do practice some sparring drills, your child will not be "fighting" anyone or getting hurt. Of course there is always potential for injury with any sports activity, however, our instructors take great care to make sure everyone practices at their own pace without getting injured.
Our martial arts classes' primary goal is to make sure our students have fun in a playful, safe environment. Come and see a class for yourself - the kids have a blast and our instructors do too.
No, our classes are a good mix of boys and girls of all fitness levels. Beginners train alongside some of the more experienced kids, helping each other out in a fun team environment.

KOffice development is currently going on at a tremendous pace. Version 1.5, with Open Document as the default file format, will be released in March 2006, and it is time to start collecting ideas for version 2. KOffice has received a donation of $1000 to be used as the prize in a GUI and Functionality Design competition. So whip out the RAD tools and your imagination and design the next big thing in office automation!
An anonymous donor who cares a lot about KOffice has donated a sum of $1000 USD to be used as prize money in a design competition. The purpose of the competition is to generate new ideas for the user interface of the next generation of KOffice, which is expected to be released around the same time as KDE 4.0.
Submissions to the competition should be GUI mockups accompanied with a written description of the intended workflow with ideas for the design of KOffice 2. See the KOffice 2 competition page for an example of how this could be done.
In case the judges cannot find an entry that is truly best the prize money may be split between at most 3 entries. We do not expect this to happen, though.
There is no guarantee that any suggestion from the entries will actually be implemented in KOffice 2, but we will do our best not to waste good ideas. We also reserve the right to use any idea from any entry.
Our donor said "I believe in the potential of KOffice to become a better office suite than all the others in the market. It would be great for me and society to be able to buy KOffice which is better than Microsoft Office for the total price of 0 dollars."
Small Print:
The judges will be picked from the KOffice developers. Currently, Inge Wallin and Boudewijn Rempt are appointed, but there might be one more to make the number uneven. Those who enter the competition should be aware that there will be no other compensation paid ever, and that all ideas, graphical elements, workflows, etc, can be used in KOffice 2.0 and published under the GNU General Public License. The final decision of the judges cannot be overruled. Any taxes due will be paid by the winners.
I naturally expect a lot MS Office 12 clones to be submitted and then discarded because they are not researched enough to ensure the result would actually be better then what we have now :)
Clownding clones and possibly Melissas doggy lounge.
Here (http://www.koffice.org/competition/guiKOffice2.php) it says February the 15th, but here (http://www.koffice.org/news.php) March the 15th.
What is correct?
The deadline is february 15th. The winner will be announced march 1st. And there is another error that says 2005 when it should be 2006.
As soon as our webmaster is around, we'll fix that.
Corrected. Thanks!
My mistake, deadline is February 15th 2006!
Sorry about that!
I'm more interested in koffice kids :))) It is one of the best ideas I heard this year, and I think the edubuntu folks would appreciate it very much. I'm curious: have anyone contacted them about it?
Isn't Edubuntu an effort to build a distribution especially targeted to schools, with terminal sharing facilities and alike?
And, at least in my country, the goal to teach office applications to kids is really about teaching them the real deal in order to prepare them for the future and the office software needs to be what their parents use (or at least easily installable -- that's way OpenOffice.org is the selected one).
Anyway, I totally agree that a word processor for kids would be nice. Though I think SDL or some other game library would make more sense. Bill Kendrick, the author of TuxPaint, was working on such a project.
>a word processor for kids would be nice.
You have to think bigger than that, not for kids but a genereal real simple wordprocessor. But not by doing the usuall mistake, by building one with only a limited set of features. Rather take the whole KWord and put a simple UI on top of it, like the 'kids' mockups. Your core is still a full featured open document based wordprocessor, but you will only utilize a small subset of the functionality. Make it customizable and you can make a whole range of versions customized for people with special needs using only part of the functionality, like 'grandma', 'author', 'journalist' or 'script writer'.
I don't really understand the point. If a kid is old enough to be literate and writing enough to require a computer, they're old enough to use a normal software. My first word processor was WordPerfect 6 in 3rd or 4th grade, I don't recall it being an issue. I wasn't creating tables or printing out address labels, but I knew how to write, save, print and spell check.
I suppose if you want to teach like kindergardens or 1st graders to use a computer word processor, a special UI might make sense.
But you know, IANAT - I am not a teacher. ;)
This is all very nice, but as long as the print quality is as terrible as it is now (due to font kerning problems) KOffice isn't even usable in real life. Let us please get the basics right first.
I would love to start using KOffice (and I always try out new versions) but the printing quality is still horrifying.
Well you are mostly talking about KWord and you are right unfortunately. The situation will change once KOffice is ported to Qt4 which offers everything with respect to fonts that we would need. But once this is fixed and once OASIS has become a more common file format KWord will become a really shining word processor application: Fast, featureful, easy to use and developed on a clean decent framework that allows it to be extended easily.
Actually, as the recent discussion has uncovered, it will take more than just porting the existing code to Qt-4.1. It appears that while the new "HighResolution" option will greatly improve text layout that the code will need to be rewritten to use the new: "QTextLayout" class to get true WYSIWYG printing.
Why? It doesn't sound all that hard to replace int with double in the existing KWord code, and to replace QFontMetrics with QFontMetricsF. What else would be required that would require porting everything to QTextLayout?
Btw: you always post about fonts and font kerning. Are you contributing yourself to those things in KDE, as a programmer? Would you be the one who will actually do the work to add true WYSIWYG to KOffice?
Yes I believe he has more than once posted and contributed patches. I first thought he was a troll but over time reading all his posts on the dot and elsewhere I think he truly cares deeply about this issue and is trying to advance the state of KDE. This guy has gone up in my estimation.
My advice, at least regarding KWord, is simple: dump the legacy word processing stuff. Have a long, hard look at how LyX works, and learn from it. Instead of having low-level options like Letter vs. A4 pages, bold vs. italic vs. underline, etc., have better, high-level options like "Book" vs. "Formal Letter", and "title" vs. "chapter" vs. "inline quotation".
Make sure LOTS of templates are included, and neatly categorised, so that people can easily find and begin the document of their choice. Make it even easier to actually write that document, because inserting elements is as simple as choosing them from the style list or the context menu (technical books would have options like "quotation", "callout", "illustration", etc.). Make it possible to download and *contribute* templates easily through an automated and rated version of KHotNewStuff.
Finally, make it really easy to edit these templates, ot to create your own, with a style creation mode, that works like an outliner, and has all the style options like font choices and bold, italics, positioning of elements etc., but that won't let you put actual content in from that mode, so users clearly see the difference in style vs. content, and can manage their styles easily, and contribute them to others.
Perhaps, also, for simple changes, styles could be easily modified in simple ways without getting into all the style mode stuff. So, you could choose to increase the overall size of all the fonts, or to increase the paper margins or make your book double-sided, without actually getting into all the gritty details of what elements a technical book has, and which headings are big and whcih are small etc. This could even be done with template wizards, which would run on startup (for your first book) or later through a menu item.
This sounds crazy to many, I'm sure. But, if you've ever tried LyX for document editing, you know that it's really a perfect way to write documents; the only thing missing is that setting up templates is a nightmare, because it's based on LaTeX. KWord isn't; it has a lot of great style and formatting technology, and I'm not suggesting throwing that away for a second. But, I think it should take its rightful place as an engine that drives styles, and not as a user-exposed thing, where users have to explicitly say that they're typing in 12pt font now, or that this is italic font, rather than "this is speech", or "this is an address", or "I'd like to insert a quotation".
By doing these things, you'll also make it possible to do more things. Obviously, if the word processor understands that something is an address, rather than just an indented block of text in a different font style, then it can do cool and intelligent things for you, like automatically handling address changes from KAddressBook. Or, if it knows that some quotations are included, it could easily generate a list of thanks to those inspiring writers/speakers at the end of the book.
If a word processor is better for writing documents because it knows the difference between lines and paragraphs and images, then just imagine what a document processor could really do, if implemented properly, when it knows you're writing a book, and that this is the title, and that is the first chapter, and this is a quotation, and that's speech, etc. The possibilities and new opportunities are endless. Just think of how it might go down in workplaces too, when secretaries and government document authors realise that they never need to worry about fonts again, and disabled users can have their interface described in terms of chapters and quotations and authors rather than paragraphs and lines and letters.
KWord already has the style mechanisms to do this, so why not use it? Make a document editing tool, and not a souped-up typewriter. Document processing is here, but no one has really done it yet. KWord could be a new killer app that everyone else is just slowly inching towards, if you let it.
Your post says to me that you prefer LyX and have a few problems with it that you feel kword does better. But your problems would be better solved by fixing those issues with lyx. For people who prefer the whole content oriented thing lyx is there. Don't make kword a copy of lyx. Some people want a program that is very much visual, and oriented towards the actual print layout more than the content, and that's what kword is for.
Maybe lyx should be adopted by koffice as well. I know I'd prefer it to become a proper kde program with kioslaves...
Your post says to me that you have never tried LyX. If you want program which is very much oriented towards actual print layout, then you are either talking DTP and then you should use Scribe or some real layout program, or you don't know what you are talking about. The point was not to eliminate WYSIWYG, but to enable us who prefer that logical authoring. And about LyX, those small problems with LyX he is talking about (at least that's my experience and I am heavy user of LyX myself) would mean complete rewrite, throwing out LaTeX and rewriting LyX based on some other printing technique (like FOP-PDF toolchain combined with ODF). I don't think it will ever happen.
Wow, that's a great idea. Please write a proposal :)
Although I also have the fear that there will be many Office12 clones around, and one of them will win :(
My suggestion: Please put in a modal concept like Vi has _as an option_.
Once you are used to the vi editior, you really would also like to have the HJKL keys for navigating in a document.
It should be possible to say:
- Default key bindings (like it is now)
- Vi style key bindings
- Emacs style key bindings
Although I know that probably will never happen, let me dream about my proposed favorite WordProcessor.
"Although I also have the fear that there will be many Office12 clones around, and one of them will win :("
Highly unlikely. After all, there are at least two dependable people on the judging committee...
I endorse everything you said, point-by-point. Such pondered and well-written are even rare. Also, it is a source of ideas on which to base an interface project (hint, hint).
But you're going too fast! With luck, KOffice might be improved and become the #2 Linux suite, behind Openoffice. This involves a lot of faith, because the competition is most excellent (e.g., Abiword and Softmaker products).
In that context, I suggest we do the _basics_ very well done. I work with Oo.o on Linux in a Windows corporate environment. Let me say, interoperability is king. I even have to save as "doc" to share memos, letters, specifications etc. People there are not very enlightened, odf is out of question. Period.
So, Koffice _must_ read M$-Office docs as perfectly as possible. Oo.o 2.0 does a terrific job; I expect (and need) no less. I'm all for odf (and use it whenever possible), but in some places there's a Windows culture so ingrained people prefer to pay whatever M$ asks just to keep things as they are, because change is scary to them.
Alternatively, since Oo.o is in the Windows-compatible niche, KOffice might "go for the younger" and work for people/companies with no previous IT structure. I don't know whether or how this would work out.
> So, Koffice _must_ read M$-Office docs as perfectly as possible. Oo.o 2.0 does a terrific job; I expect (and need) no less
Umm; just because OpenOffice 'supports' (something that resembles supporting but does not really work when you need it the most) MS Office formats Microsoft has been able to postpone rollout of open formats for half a decade now. So let's not play their game anymore. And if the money spent on reverse-engineering MS Office formats would have been spent on writing new software we would have one hell of a Open Office by now.
> spent on reverse-engineering MS Office formats ... we would have one hell of a Open Office by now.
and.. nearly nobody would use Open Office. You can drop support of common format only if you have >= 50% of the market, else most people won't consider using your product.
> because OpenOffice 'supports' office formtats ... postpone rollout of open formats for half a decade now.
It didn't postpone anything. These things are independent.
> and.. nearly nobody would use Open Office
For starters yes, but via truly common open format true mass adoption could be reality in not too distant future. With current versions i really can't see that happening as it's really inferior product quality/feature wise.
So, I would have taken the same approach than Linus took with the kernel: no undocumented binary drivers (or even binary ABIs), please.
It's not this the point. I can do the same comparition with mp3 / ogg. One is copyrighted, one is free (at most). Who is the leader now?
It's patented.
You do know that Matthias Ettrich founded both LyX and KDE?
So there must be something in what you are proposing.
YES, my dream ...
This way a word (sorry ... document) precessor would be a lot easier to use.
I already use styles and as I can see, Kword is already very good handling them. At least it is a lot easier to use styles with Kword rather with OpenOffice.org. And OpenOffice.org is also a lot easier than MS Office (mainly because of the good documentation of OpenOffice.org).
At work, I must use MS Office 2003 for small reports. I must use chapters and I have never been able to create a style to automatiquely auto increment chapters numbers (I have searched the documentation and never find). I have also tried with OpenOffice.org and founded in the documentation how to do it (but it is difficult for me and I must look at the doc each time I want to create a new document). But with Koffice, it is really a delight. I didn't need to look in the doc for these basic features (even if the koffice doc is truly excellent and is a pleasure to read).
PS. When I was a computer science student, I used LaTeX and I found it a lot easier than any office suite (except koffice). I am really a newbe in office suites.
Most of this is already in KWord, and where its not yet, its mostly because the implementation is not working correctly there. Or, in other words, this setup is what I had in mind when I started working on KWord years ago.
You can create a template with ease from the current document, for example. There certainly are good templates missing, but you and everyone can help with that (*wink*).
Styles already do everything you need, including cool things like the 'next style' feature that makes sure that after typing the headline and pressing enter the next line is of the style for that paragraph.
Whats incorrectly implemented currently is the 'styles based on other styles' feature. What this does is that if you change the base style all others will follow. So change the base style to be 1 point bigger and all follow. But that does not work currently.
We will always support people that want to manually set the font size to 12 / bold. We can't force a workflow on them that takes effort to learn, I'm sure we'd loose too many users that way.
If you have more specific suggestions, please post them to the mailing list, or enter the contest :)

Yet if you stick to that in advance, I fear you have already lost the battle. Openoffice also allows style-based and (somewhat) content-based editing, yet all the interface buttons for layout- and markup-related things make it all too easy to not use styles consistently, and mess up your document if you change the style afterwards. That increases the effort needed to learn a new workflow, instead of reducing it.
Writing in a structured latex-like way takes time to get used to, and in my opinion the only way to get people to do so is to almost force them, if not completely. That does not mean you need to remove all formatting options - latex also allows emphasis and other markup options. It does help to actually name it emphasis and not 'italic', as the two don't need to be the same.
I would love to see competition entries focussing on the ideas discussed in this thread - I think a good start might be to remove as many text markup buttons from directly visible toolbars as possible, and to replace them with style/content related functions. Even if you keep them in the program, removing all the 'bad' functions from plain sight might just do the trick in educating a lot of users.
As for the msword format vs. open document format discussions - my ideal would be a single (command line?) tool that converts msword documents to opendocument format and vice versa. All compatibility work could go into that tool, freeing openoffice and kword developers from integrating it's functionality into their software.
Unfortunately I'm one of many that will only contribute in replying and not in code, but hey, perhaps it will help to form some ideas. Keep up the good work!
I agree completely. Perhaps put the manual style tools into some advanced menu or dialogue?
So long as KWord continues to be Yet Another Wordprocessor I fear it's only advantages will be the KDE architecture and its speed. Otherwise OpenOffice will always look more attractive.
KWord probably allows me to focus on workflow but I never really noticed that. To me it looks like MS Word or OpenOffice Writer, it invites you to start making bits of text 14pt-bold and to manually adjust every bullet point to the right margin and style. The whole UI should scream "this is how to use me correctly". It should make writing an article, letter, book or random document as easy as possible and make the user immediately aware of how it will help them. It should force me to say "make this a list, and let me configure the style of lists if I really need to", or "emphasise this" which means "use my configured style of 14pt-bold-Dejavu Sans". Good defaults, a clear mainwindow UI and obvious style configuration utilities would really make KWord stand out from the crowd.
Until then I'll battle on with LaTeX...
Great ideas! So how about this; let there be a "style" toolbar that is an expanded version of the style dropdown list. It should have a buttons for emphasis on/off rather than bold, italics etc. buttons. Also the most important style options for the current document type should be represented. Hide the text-level formatting toolbar by default.
The style toolbar is to be generated from the formatting styles currently defined. So when creating formatting styles in a document template you also choose how they are to be displayed in the formatting tool bar.
In addition: Mark everything that has been formatted using low-level styles by a wiggly underline in a suitable colour, just like the automatic spell/grammar checkers do. (This should be optional of course.)
I would love a fully document-oriented mode. And I do mean that down to the point where you cannot type two spaces in a row.
When I wrote a 200-page thesis earlier this year, in LyX, I made some last-minute changes just before sending it to be printed. Even though I knew that those changes would change things throughout the document; page breaks and everything, I didn't bother checking the formatting. (And of course it worked perfectly.) That is the power of document processing.
As someone else pointed out; LyX cannot be made a generic document processor without huge effort. It would have to be KWord.
Not typing 2 spaces in a row is also a feature that KWord already has for some time. :)
Its part of the autocorrection.
I prefer Kile to LyX, but utilize both. What is so terribly difficult about installing Macro Packages? The Dummy's Guide to LaTeX/TeX & their many Apps with sections on Kile, LyX, TeXShop.app would be a huge aide in bridging the gap between these powerful tools.
People who use Final Cut Pro don't just point and click. They study workflows, design considerations, so on and so forth.
KWord could leap forward if it were morphed into a Kile-light for its publishing capabilities and a Framemaker-light/Scribus for its DTP capabilities. If they could develop interfaces to enscapsulate the LaTeX Macro Packages and just simply install them and leverage much of their functionality out-of-the-box, then you'd see people taking a stronger look at these tools for the small office consumer.
Anyone wanting to publish novels, journals, etc., should focus on apps like Kile/LyX/Scribus and make sure they continue to grow.
Most people don't write 500 page novels, technical books, but those that do should not see their beautiful tools become less of a focus just so we can get more users who write 5 page papers interested in Linux.
What I would prefer happen is that Kword provided Services, ala NeXT/OS-X, that interact with Kile/LyX and Scribus/Inkscape and with these tools create a suite of smaller tools that address publishing needs for all.
it is very clean and simple, but very featureful. how many of us have tried the free version of textmaker which can be used freely (free as beer) and redistributed unlimitedly.
Textmaker is an alternative, efficient and powerful word processor for
Linux and FreeBSD systems. It starts quickly and contains a huge amount
of features. It is extremely easy to use, compatible to MS Word formats
and comes along in a modern look-and-feel.
you can register (which is optional) easily by clicking "Register & Ordering" button when you launch the program.
install and use:
rpm -ivh textmaker-2005.2.11-3.i586.rpm --nodeps --force
Since QT 4.1 was recently announced to have a PDF backend, will that make it easier for KOffice to have an "Export to PDF" functionality similar to OpenOffice 2.0?
You can already export to PDF, it is in the print-dialog. Select the PDF-printer.
yeah, but just being able to say 'save as' and then pdf would be better.
and to parent - i don't think so ;-)
"Save" or "Save as" assumes that you can "Open" the result in the same application. Users would be disappointed if this assumption doesn't hold true. On the other hand, "Export" doesn't imply the ability to "Open".
kword 1.4.2 can open .pdf files, using the file-open dialog. So, Save as PDF is more logical since we can open the pdf file using kword, as you are expecting "save = open" and "export = import" ;)
Yes. But not before the 2.0 release of KOffice, I fear.
Just wondering, is it not possible to do a quick and dirty version of this by using the existing kprint and some DCOP magic? Just to silence the ones wanting the "Export to PDF", who don't know the power of the KDE framework.
It increases the possible implementations, but doesn't really make much difference. KDE can add what OO has: a shortcut that has the exact same effect as printing to a PS file and converting it to a PDF with GhostScript (which is what KPrint does when you print to PDF).
Perhaps a more important issue is the ability to use a PPD when making a PDF. KPrint has the GhostScript PPD for pdfwriter translated into XML and it uses the XML file rather than being able to access the PPD file directly.
OO can use any PPD file that you want to PRINT to a PDF, but the short cut seems to be able to use only the Adobe Distiller PPD.
Both programs need for the user to be able to choose the PPD that they want to use for generating PDFs.
Nice but...
"The judges will be picked from the KOffice developer"
Be sure to include some usability expert too!
Oh god, please no. So-called usability expert is just going to kill the creativity of this project.
The usability experts from OpenUsability.org are doing really good work for KDE and other free software projects. Their style is totally different from those "so-called usability experts" that you refer to.
I think the orginal poster was looking for usability experts, not so-called usability experts.
A group of techies will of course almost always develop something they themselves can use, and benefit from using. That is not always the same thing as making a program usable for people outside that gruoup.
Real usability experts have tools that when applied actually makes the application better for its intended users.
In my experience, techies refusing to see the big picture, is just as often the culprit when creativity is killed.
... which could also be applied, maybe, to KOffice 2: http://www.vorbisinfo.org/openoffice .
Especially the tabs (and also the OS X-like toolbars and sidebars) would be a good thing, IMHO.
Only an idea, of course...
wow that's great. I really like this interface idea.

Full Lifetime Warranty
RIDGID branded tools are known the world over as best-in-class tools that allow the end-user to complete jobs more quickly and reliably.
However, there's added peace of mind with the RIDGID Full Lifetime Warranty. Should your tool ever malfunction from defects in workmanship or materials, we will repair or replace the tool free of charge.
What is Covered
RIDGID tools are warranted to be free of material and workmanship defects.
How Long Coverage Lasts
This warranty lasts for the lifetime of the RIDGID tool. Warranty coverage ends when the product becomes unusable for reasons other than defects in workmanship or material.
How to Obtain Service
To obtain the benefit of this warranty, deliver the complete product via prepaid transportation to Ridge Tool Company, Elyria, Ohio, or any RIDGID Authorized Independent Service Center. Pipe wrenches and other hand tools should be returned to the place of purchase.
What We Will Do to Correct Problems
Warranted products will be repaired or replaced, at Ridge Tool's option, and returned at no charge; or, if after three attempts to repair or replace during the warranty period the product is still defective, you can elect to receive a full refund of your purchase price.
What is Not Covered
Failures due to misuse, abuse or normal wear and tear are not covered by this warranty. Ridge Tool shall not be responsible for any incidental or consequential damages.
How Local Laws Relate to the Warranty
Some areas do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary, from state to state, province to province, or country to country.
No Other Express Warranty Applies
This Full Lifetime Warranty is the sole and exclusive warranty for RIDGID products. No employee, agent, dealer, or other person is authorized to alter this warranty or make any other warranty on behalf of the Ridge Tool Company.
Executing the RIDGID Lifetime Warranty
Ridge Tool Company offers a comprehensive lifetime warranty to support products purchased under the RIDGID Brand, excluding licensed goods.
RIDGID branded products are built with reliability, dependability and durability and are covered by a Full Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials or workmanship.
In the event that you have a problem with your RIDGID product due to a defect in materials or poor workmanship, we will attempt to remedy the problem in accordance with our printed warranty policy in a timely manner. For warranty information on RIDGID licensed goods, visit www.ridgid.com
Commonly, our tools are used on job sites in the most demanding applications and environments. Under these conditions and over time, the RIDGID product may experience normal wear and tear and require service. While normal wear & tear is not considered a "defect" and is not covered by the RIDGID Lifetime Warranty, it is our goal to get your tool back in service a soon as possible. To help expedite this service, Ridge Tool offers a complete assortment of service parts and a network of RIDGID Authorized Independent Service Centers to meet your service needs. Our Service Center Network has been Factory Trained to provide quality repair service as well as accurate determination & execution of RIDGID warranty if required. For a complete list of RIDGID Authorized Independent Service Centers visit www.ridgid.com.
It is our experience that a product that fails prematurely due to a manufacturing defect in materials or workmanship, will generally do so very early in the products life cycle, often the first or second time the product is used. When returned for inspection, these products are generally found to still be in like new condition and show very little signs of use. It is uncommon for a product that was manufactured with a defect, to survive under normal use for any extended period of time. Products that are returned for warranty inspection after months or years of continuous reliable service are rarely found to be defective. The most common demand for service is the result of normal wear and tear issues, which are not considered to be a defect in materials or workmanship.

Update at 7:35 a.m ET, Jan. 3. Signed By Autopen:
As many had expected he would, the president did sign the fiscal cliff agreement with an autopen. The bill was back in Washington, D.C., while Obama was in Hawaii on vacation. So, it was signed by an autopen machine that produces a copy of the president's signature. As we outlined earlier, this has been done before.
Our original post — "How Will President Obama Sign The Fiscal Cliff Bill?"
With the approval of Congress, the bill avoiding the "fiscal cliff" is now on its way to President Obama, who says he's eager to sign it. But that raises a question: How will the president, who is now in Hawaii, sign the legislation?
Earlier today, a White House representative contacted by NPR said they weren't yet sure exactly how the president would sign the bill, which has now reportedly been delivered to the White House. There are two likely ways the bill could receive the president's signature.
The White House could fly the bill via courier to Obama, who rejoined his family on their holiday vacation hours after the budget crisis was resolved (or, as Mark wrote this morning, after much of the crisis was postponed). Earlier reports said that the Obama family would likely remain in Hawaii until Jan. 6.
Another option would be to use an autopen — a mechanical device that does a pretty fair job of copying Obama's signature, as a side-by-side comparison by CBS showed in November of 2011.
The president was in a similar situation one year ago, during his family's holiday trip to Hawaii. In that case, he signed the National Defense Authorization Act, which governs the detention of American citizens and others who are suspected of terrorism, after the bill was sent from Washington.
Obama has used the "autopen" option at least twice before — from Indonesia, where he was attending Pacific regional talks (Nov. 28, 2011) and from France, where he was part of the G8 Summit (May 26, 2011).
The case for using the device was made by the Bush administration in 2005, when the office of legal counsel said that Article I, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution — which includes the phrase, "If he approves he shall sign it" — could allow the chief executive to direct "a subordinate to affix the President's signature to such a bill, for example by autopen."
The autopen is widely used by politicians and celebrities to duplicate signatures for letters and memorabilia. And while Obama seems to be the first president to use the device to sign a bill into law, he's the not the first to use one. As Andrea Seabrook reported in 2011, Thomas Jefferson was a big fan of the device.

This is TALK OF THE NATION. I'm Neal Conan.
This week, the country celebrated the story of three women liberated 10 years after they were kidnapped and held all that time in a house in Cleveland. But there's another person in this story who made headlines: Charles Ramsey. He's the animated neighbor who helped rescue Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight.
CHARLES RAMSEY: I heard screaming. I'm eating my McDonald's. I come outside and I see this girl going nuts trying to get out of the house. So I go on the porch and - I go on the porch and she says, help me get out. I've been here a long time.
CONAN: Charles Ramsey's interview on a Cleveland television station has gone viral. The images and the words have been manipulated and Auto-Tuned like those of a few other African-Americans who made memorable appearances on the local news. On Browbeat, the culture blog on Slate, Aisha Harris posted a piece called "The Troubling Viral Trend of the 'Hilarious' Black Neighbor," and she joins us from a studio at Slate. Good to have you on the program today.
AISHA HARRIS: Thanks for having me.
CONAN: And for those who don't follow these kinds of trends on Web, explain what happened to that original interview.
HARRIS: Well, that original interview, was within a few hours, turned into a meme. It became Auto-Tuned. There were several moments like the ones we just heard, I'm eating my McDonald's, kind of plucked out and remixed and made funny and entertaining. And I think it's a little troubling just because it does - the meme-ification takes away from what he did and the fact that he did rescue - or helped rescue three women.
CONAN: And is this intended as mockery?
HARRIS: It's hard to say. I do think that there is a kind of underlying, unconscious, perhaps, desire or need for a lot of people whether they're black or white to see black people perform, even if it's in a newsworthy sense. He rescued and some would consider him a hero. And, yeah, I do think some people in the comments are mocking him, and I think other people do see this just as a - he's just a genuinely good storyteller. I don't think anyone can deny that. But I do think that this sort of focus by people to instantly turn him into this entertaining figure takes away from what he did and the women who were also kidnapped.
CONAN: And all the more troubling you say in your piece because this has happened before.
HARRIS: Yes. I think that this wouldn't be as troubling if we didn't also have Antoine Dodson, who was known for the hide your kids, hide your wife meme. He was a similar figure in that he is presumably lower class, hair is a little unkempt, talks very kind of flamboyantly, which I feel like a lot of America is not used to. Personally, I have lots of family members who sound a lot like Charles Ramsey and can - that's the way they talk, the nature way. But I think a lot of America isn't used to that. And when they see that, it's funny to them in a way that's a little off-putting.
And Antoine Dodson is another example who - he was also a hero himself. He rescued his sister from someone who was trying to intrude into their house. So there's that and there's also Sweet Brown, who was interviewed after there was a fire in her apartment and she was also very flamboyant, lower-class black. And another woman, Michelle Clark, in a - who was known for her kabooya(ph), this phrase and also being very flamboyant.
CONAN: Here's an email we have from Becky(ph) in Cleveland. I'm grateful not only for Charles Ramsey's heroism, but for his being a wonderful face representative for Cleveland. People could be thinking of the monster who perpetrated these crimes when they hear Cleveland and think this is a scary place. Instead colorful language and ordinary guy charm is making everybody think of him, an upstanding citizen who helped these women in their escape.
HARRIS: Yes, I would agree with that to some extent. I do think the news and the media, itself, has been pretty good about promoting him as a hero, granted recently, as we all know, there is a little bit of a back story about his prior life. He was apparently accused, or he was convicted, I believe, of domestic violence, which kind of may put a new spin on things. I think still, in this case, he did help rescue three women, so, yeah.
CONAN: Yeah, he - one of the things he said was he heard the sounds and thought it sounded like a domestic violence case. And apparently, he knew.
HARRIS: Right.
CONAN: And as you look at the coverage - not the coverage, but the - what's going out on the Web on this story, why do people do it, do you think? Just to be amused by it, or to see black people perform?
HARRIS: I do think that's part of it. I think, I mean, there's the part at the end where he talks about - he brings up race, which is very surprising. That's what, kind of, separates him from the Sweet Browns and Antoine Dodsons, because I think when you're watching those, you don't really think about it. You might feel like there's something, kind of, going on, these black, quote, unquote, "characters" performing. But with - in the case of Ramsey, he brings it to the forefront and brings up race, and he said, you know, I knew something was wrong when a little white girl is running into my arms, and...
CONAN: Not into his arms but into a black man's arms.
HARRIS: Into a black man's arms, yes, correct.
CONAN: Yeah. And let's hear the tape.
RAMSEY: I knew something was wrong when a little, pretty, white girl ran into a black man's arms. Something is wrong here. Dead giveaway. Dead giveaway.
JOSH BOOSE: Charles, Charles, thank you very much.
RAMSEY: Dead giveaway.
BOOSE: Thank you very much for your time and...
RAMSEY: Either she's homeless or she got problems. That's the only reason why she ran to a black man.
CONAN: Joining us now is Washington Post opinion writer Jonathan Capehart. He wrote an op-ed for that paper titled "We could stand to be more like Charles Ramsey." He's with us from a studio at the newspaper. And nice to have you back on the program.
JONATHAN CAPEHART: Thank you, Neal.
CONAN: And you were particularly interested in that quote.
CAPEHART: I was. When I heard that quote, as I wrote today, I burst out laughing. It was startling to hear, and I also thought, wow, I can't believe he had the nerve to say it. And I thought this because in that one comment, as Aisha alluded to, he said a lot about race in America. You know, there was no need for an explanation because we all know what he's talking about. We all knew what he meant. And given the nefarious stereotypes of black men in America, you know, we knew that there was some kernel of truth to it.
And if you don't think that that's case, and then I'm glad you played the clip, you could hear the people with their knowing laughter in the background after he said what he said. It was comical that folks knew what he was getting at.
CONAN: And interesting the - I don't know if the reporter was being yelled at by a producer in his ears to wrap it up. But the reporter seemed to want to get out of there pretty quickly.
CAPEHART: Yes, because, you know, race is a touchy subject. And on live television, I think that reporter probably decided - because they'd already been on the air. This interview was going on for a while, and I think he probably thought, you know what, let's just cut it here before it gets any more dicey. But it was a startling comment, a terrific comment, a very telling comment from Mr. Ramsey.
CONAN: Aisha Harris, I wanted to ask you about it. A brave thing to say because it's one of those things everybody knows but doesn't say out loud?
HARRIS: Right. It was a very astute observation. It kind of felt like, to me, Kanye West's version of, like, I - but George Bush doesn't care about black people and that whole, like, oh, we got to cut now. This can't happen on live television, except it was much more perceptive than West's statement. And he, kind of, said it in a way, it's like, yeah, yeah, like, it was kind of funny to him, but a bitter irony. When I was watching it, I was very shocked. I felt the same way as Jonathan did. And it just - it also felt like a Dave Chappelle skit or something, except real life. It felt - this was real.
It's funny. You laugh about it at first, then you're like, well, he has a point. There's this history of fear of the black male and the black male with a white woman or white girl, and I think that does play into it. And he's much smarter than I think, than the means that kind of brush over that or completely ignore it, give him.
CONAN: Jonathan Capehart, what do you think is behind those video manipulations, the samplings and the autotunes of Mr. Ramsey?
CAPEHART: Well, you know, I think what Aisha's been talking about is very good observation. I mean, we now have four examples of hilarious black people in television, news interviews performing, being characters, I think, you know, being themselves. Like Aisha, I have relatives who speak just like Mr. Ramsey, or Antoine Dodson or Sweet Brown. But I think for us, while it might seem commonplace, daresay normal, I think for a majority of folks who are seeing these folks for the first time, it can be a little jarring.
Look, personally speaking, the first time I saw Antoine Dodson, I laughed. The first time I saw Sweet Brown, I laughed. When I watched the Charles Ramsey interview, I laughed and then I gasped. But with each one, though, after the laughter stops and you listen to exactly what they're saying, particularly Antoine Dodson and Charles Ramsey, you focus in on who are these people and what is their character.
As Aisha pointed out, Antoine Dodson was saving his sister from being raped by an intruder. Charles Ramsey, you know, didn't even think about his own safety when he heard someone screaming for help and thought said out loud, I thought it was a domestic violence situation. Most people would turn away. Most people would say this is none of my business. I shouldn't get involved, and yet both of these people got involved.
And, you know, clearly, coming from tough circumstances, certainly tough circumstances that I'm living in right now, but who are people who are trying to live their lives and live their lives the best way they can in difficult circumstances and still being able to do so with their heads held high and being very proud of themselves and who they are.
CONAN: Jonathan Capehart is an opinion writer for The Washington Post. Also with us, Aisha Harris, an assistant for Brow Beat, that's Slate's culture blog. You're listening to TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News.
And in a sense, Aisha Harris, are - is what's going an example of mainstream's culture in a minstrel show and taking these comments as some - almost as alien.
HARRIS: Yes. I think that is a big part of it. I think it's important to note that I do think, in some ways, that class does play a big part in this. All of them are lower class, undereducated, perhaps. And that's what we get, that's what see here, that's what take in. And there are plenty of examples of people of all ethnicities acting as eyewitnesses, saying crazy things. It doesn't matter who, like - there was recently a homeless hitchhiker or someone. He was white and he had a mean of smash, smash, smash. He apparently saves a woman from a racist attacker.
And so that that was pretty big, and that was got around a lot just like Antoine Dodson. But he's the only example I can think that has the same kind of omnipresence in all of culture as the black people that we've seen over the last few years. I mean, Sweet Brown is in a commercial. Antoine Dodson also capitalized and appeared in several other videos that went viral; does, like, cameos. So I think the fact that - it's not just a fact that the news might pick out these certain black people, I think, that there are many examples of everyone of all races.
But I also think that the ones that are getting the most popular and the most play are the ones that are black. And I do think that's an inherent need to see - and unconscious, perhaps - need to see black people perform.
CONAN: There is, however, all us, we reporters do this. I used to - when I worked the streets and there is the - getting reaction from public in the streets, vox pop, or man of the streets interviews. And I developed a very easy formula for finding the most animated people. Look for the people in the funny hats. And we all do that.
HARRIS: Yeah.
CAPEHART: Yeah. Yeah. Because in the business that we're in, we're looking for the most vibrant, colorful, interesting comments. And so you try to figure out stuff out. OK, who's going to be that person to give that to me?
CONAN: Here's an email from Brody in Boise: Do you think the success and fame brought to people you mentioned, and Joe the Plumber, have made people try to perform during these interviews.
CAPEHART: Well, I certainly think so. I mean, certainly, since Antoine Dodson and the success he has had with that - remember, he was living in the projects and - I believe it was in Alabama, and he - because of the success of the autotunes, video and everything else, he was able to move his family out of the project. So I think - certainly, there might be some folks who are motivated to try to do the same thing.
CONAN: And this from Claudia: Mr. Ramsey's statement, I knew something was wrong when the little, pretty white girl ran into a black man's arms was intended to be funny. It was also on the mark about conditions in America. The man should receive a medal for his heroism and a lucrative contract for stand-up comedy. So...
HARRIS: I mean, I don't know if I'd go that far.
HARRIS: But he definitely - clearly has a gift for storytelling and he happened to be the one who rescued them and sound like they sought him out.
CONAN: He had a direct role of the story. Yes.
HARRIS: Right, right. Although there was, as we've also learned, another person who apparently had a role in this story. But I think because he's not as flamboyant and he speaks minimal English, he hasn't gotten nearly as much coverage as Ramsey. But yeah, I mean, I think his point about race was supposed to be funny. But in the - again, the Dave Chappelle, Richard Pryor kind of way, like, yeah, you're laughing at this. But also you have to step back and also pause and be like, but that's kind of true.
CONAN: More funny peculiar than funny ha-ha - or maybe a little bit of both.
HARRIS: Exactly.
CONAN: And this from Lemur: Anyone who makes fun of the hero ,Charles Ramsey, are the same kind of people who'd make fun of different cultures or laugh at racial jokes. The media has not done enough to emphasize what a brave, wonderful, selfless act that was to the extent he didn't think of any danger he may have been in himself. God bless Charles Ramsey, a real American hero. And, Jonathan Capehart, I think that was the point of your piece today.
CAPEHART: Yeah, exactly. I - when I saw the interview and started writing, I thought, well, wait a minute. There's something - there is something bigger here, especially when he said to Anderson Cooper no, no, no, bro. I'm a Christian and American. I'm just like you. We bleed the same blood, put on our pants the same way. When he was told by Anderson Cooper that there was a reward money available, he said, no, no, no, no. Give that to them. Give that to victims.
CONAN: Jonathan Capehart of The Washington Post, Aisha Harris of Brow Beat, Slate's culture blog. Thanks to you both.
CAPEHART: Thank you.
HARRIS: Thanks for - thank you.
CONAN: Tomorrow, it's TALK OF THE NATION: SCIENCE FRIDAY with a chat with Pulitzer Prize winning physicist Saul Perlmutter. Join us back here on Monday. I'm Neal Conan. It's the TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Fedora Perl SIG Mission
To assist packagers in bringing Perl-related packages to Fedora and assisting in their continued maintenance by providing timely reviews, acting as secondary package owners and assisting with related security issues.
Perl Components in Fedora
Core Perl
perl in Fedora is defined by perl-core package. Some core modules are replaced with packages dual-living on CPAN. See koji build listing for current perl version.
- Alzabo - Data modelling tool (also in CPAN)
- Bugzilla - Defect Tracking System
- Cluster SSH - Cluster Admin Via SSH
- MojoMojo - Catalyst-based wiki, with live as-you-type AJAX preview of edits
- Padre - The Perl IDE
- RT - Release Tracker - a battle-tested issue tracking system
- SpamAssassin - A spam filter for email
There are a number of the more popular Perl frameworks available in Fedora.
- AnyEvent - A framework for multiple event loops
- Bricolage - Content Management System
- Catalyst - MVC Web Application Framework
- DBIx::Class - a modern, powerful object-relational mapping system
- Moose - Modern perl5 OOP system
- POE - Portable multitasking and networking framework
MoarVM -> NQP -> Rakudo Perl 6
- MoarVM - A VM for NQP and Rakkudo Perl 6
- NQP - NQP is a lightweight Perl 6-like environment for virtual machines.
- Pugs - A Perl 6 Implementation written in Haskell
- Rakudo - A Perl 6 implementation (was F-12 feature)
- microperl
Perl packages in Fedora
Please edit the Perl wishlist if you want something, or package something off it if you're bored :)
Bugzilla is an excellent place to find information about the various perl packages in or being reviewed for inclusion:
- Review queue
- Reviews without reviewer
- Open bugs
- FTBFS bugs
- Perl on server (ideas)
Fedora perl infrastructure
Perl to CPAN Mapping
With most perl modules being in CPAN, mapping table has been created. This table is regenerated on a daily basis, and will be included in the upcoming Perl SIG Infrastructure hosted project.
Problems that need to be addressed
The following topics need to be discussed/improved/corrected. We need to start discussing them in the fedora-perl-list.
- Improve the RPM perl scripts (requirements and provides detection)
- rpm: handle the 'v' in "use v5.6.0″ (#140597) (reportedly fixed in rpm5.org's RPM 4.4.3)
- fix: perldeps and prov.pl not to emit perl(main) (#177960) (reportedly fixed in rpm5.org's RPM 4.4.5)
- at least try to handle use statements a litte better (eg: use base Module; use autouse Module; ...)
- Use PPI?
- Try to have RPM patched in order to create the debuginfo files after the %check section script is executed and not before (right now the files are created after the %install check script is executed). This breaks the signature tests (there are also other problems related to the signature tests in the building environment: network access to import pgg keys, where should they be stored, ...). More information available here and in bug #167252 .
- How to update core perl modules?
- The correct @INC directories are still questionable.
- Have a common dir for noarch modules instead of one for each perl version supported.
- The magic that is perl(:WITH_xxx) needs to be better documented and explained, so packagers -- and reviewers! -- know:
- What they are and what they mean
- When to use them
- When to _not_ use them
- Common things to check for that would indicate their usage
- explore possibilities or merging RPM2 functionality into RPM namespace #671389
See Perl/Plan for structured plan.
- Clarified packaging guidelines - Some of the packaging guidelines (see Packaging/Perl) have conflicted with some common practises.
- For example, BuildRequires: perl was common but forbidden; that has now been changed. One current issue is the prohibition against including header files in the main package; some perl modules include these deep in the module directory hierarchy, and moving them to a separate -devel package is pointless.
- Notes about "Makefile.PL vs Build.PL" or "ExtUtils::MakeMaker vs Module::Build"
Packagers/Reviewers/People interested in helping
