suse - RPM gives a warning during un-installation if file does not exist -


some files of rpm package (depending on conditions) deleted in %post scriptlet causes warning during uninstallation: "remove failed: no such file or directory"

note: problem not occur in systems older versions of rpm , noticed on rhel7 , sles12.

while trying figure out, found following code in rpm sources (fsm.c):

    /*      * missing %ghost or %missingok entries not errors.      * xxx: non-existent files ever actual error here? afterall      * that's we're trying accomplish here,      * , complaining job done seems kinderkarten      * level "but turn!" whining...      */     if (rc == rpmerr_enoent && missingok) {     rc = 0;     }      /*      * dont whine on non-empty directories now. might able      * track @ least of expected failures though,      * such when knowingly left config file backups etc behind.      */     if (rc == rpmerr_enotempty) {     rc = 0;     }      if (rc) {     int lvl = strict_erasures ? rpmlog_err : rpmlog_warning;     rpmlog(lvl, _("%s %s: remove failed: %s\n"),         s_isdir(sb.st_mode) ? _("directory") : _("file"),         fpath, strerror(errno));         }     }

seems %missingok virtual file attribute solves problem, actually, there no %missingok attribute, there %config(missingok) one, instead.

what makes strange me mark file config file, though afaics there no strict difference between config files , ordinary files.

the question: ok use abovementioned attribute non-config files (for binaries)? cause problems on upgrades or something?

thanks.

css - SVG using textPath a symbol not rendering in Firefox -

using textpath within symbol doesn't render in firefox. renders fine in latest chrome , ie, when try reference symbol, svg text doesn't render in firefox (37.0.1) - first box appears empty. code below (no external dependencies), there should 2 boxes word test flowing vertically in centre of each. edit: thought issue somehow involved flexbox layout, until paul pointed out issue exists without flexbox layout. the html is: <div> <svg id="not_working" viewbox="0 0 250 1200" preserveaspectratio="xmidymid meet"> <symbol id="test_symbol1" preserveaspectratio="xmidymid meet" viewbox="0 0 250 1200"> <path id="test_symbol_path" d="m 100 1200 l 100 0" /> <text font-size="100" fill="red"> <textpath text-anchor="middle" startoffset="50%" xlink:href="#test_symbol_path...

datatable - Matlab struct computations -

i download data yahoo! finance with: data = getyahoodailydata({'msft', 'axp'},'01/01/2000', '01/01/2015', 'dd/mm/yyyy'); and data stored 1x1 struct. want create tx2 matrix of daily adjusted closing prices msft , axp, column 7 in each table in struct. how can that? or better : there way make computations directly on information/prices in struct? you can access data in struct name. vecmsftadj = data.msft.adjclose; vecaxpadj = data.axp.adjclose; % if want n x 2 matrix madjclose = [vecmsftadj, vecaxpadj]; % personnaly prefer working table tadjclose = table; tadjclose.msftadj = vecmsftadj; tadjclose.axpadj = vecaxpadj;
