What software is missing in the Fedora repository?

All kernel-devels would be very handy rather than just the latest

Dangermouse.

Mirrors don't want to carry all the old packages. If you have a need for it, get them from http://koji.fedoraproject.org

Yes i understand that, but it would be nice sometimes to just install the matching kernel-devel to you own kernel, with out having to have the latest kernel installed, for various obvious reasons.

Ah, I beg your pardon for the delay! I've had a little go at building it, but have failed. I had to do one tweak (commenting out the icon line in setup.cfg, if that means anything to you) to make it progress with the process. Now it gets stuck with the error:

can't copy 'files/nicotine-plus-32px.png': doesn't exist or not a regular file

while the file certainly does exist, and appears to be a regular file.

Some more tweaking is needed, but if that isn't enough I'll have to open up a new thread to hopefully get it built collaboratively.

Here's a rough attempt that you could use as a guide.

Hi

I have put up all the input at

Am I the only one having trouble seeing this in Firefox? The right side gets cut off, with no horizontal scrollbar to see it. There are 4 columns, and the Comments column isn't completely visible even with the window maximized, and even the Upstream URL column gets cut off in a normal size window.

Which version of Firefox do you use? I have no problem with Firefox 3.5 beta on Fedora 11 (Rawhide to become stable 11).

[Dan]

No problem here. FF 3.0.1

The table doesn't shrink if you make your browser width less than ~1000p and no horizontal scrollbar appears. I've seen this before on fedoraproject wiki pages eg some of the testday results tables were even wider and you couldn't read the comments on the rhs.

[Dan]

Hmmm. Ayup! Once I crunched it down that far, you're right.

[RupertPupkin]

Yeah, I have a 19" LCD at 1280x1024 resolution, so I usually run Firefox in a 800 pixel wide window. Here's what that Fedora Wiki Package Survey page looks like even in a 1280 pixel wide window:

Look at how the comments column on the far right for the "unknown horizon", "transmageddon" and "cmu common lisp" packages are cut off. And that's on the widest possible Firefox window for my screen. Sorry to be critical, but that's just terrible web page design.

Your browser looks obsolete

You recently boasted that your main OS was still Fedora 7, well there you go, not so smug now are you

I guess I missed the "This site is best viewed with Fedora 10 or higher" notice on that web page.

And how dare you cast aspersion upon Mozilla Spacemantis!

Here is my wishlist of packages I would LOVE to see in Fedora:

- Songbird
- XBMC (best media center for Linux)
- Navit (GPS navigation)
- Freemind (Mind mapping java app)
- Boxee (XBMC + social aspect)
- BackupNinja

Flock, http://flock.com/
ArgoUML, http://argouml.tigris.org/
Prism, http://prism.mozilla.com/ already with a review request, but should be great if the rpm includes some commonly used web apps
