Fedora 9 Alpha delayed just a bit longer
by Jesse Keating 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Due to some production issues, we're not going to be able to stage the Alpha for mirrors in time for a Thursday release. Therefor we will be delaying the release until Tuesday the 5th. We are not taking in new builds, just giving the mirrors more time to sync up. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?

Requesting feedback for unaccepted Fedora features
by John Poelstra 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

Dear Proposed Feature Owners, The following feature pages are in CategoryProposedFedora9 which indicates that the feature owner is requesting that FESCo vote on them at the next meeting. I have not raised these features to FESCo for a vote because certain parts of the pages are incomplete and it doesn't make sense for FESCo to review a feature when all the information is not present. 1) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GCC4.3 -- need a link to owner contact information; contingency plan and release notes sections are blank; need to discuss impact on mass rebuild of Fedora 9 (2008-01-02) 2) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EFI -- a few sections still need to be completed (2007-01-14) 3) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/JigdoRelease -- some of the TBDs need to be completed, particularly "contingency plan" and "dependencies" (2008-01-03) 4) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureEncryptedFilesystems -- documentation and release notes sections are empty (2008-01-14) In addition, the following features are targeted for Fedora 9 in their writeup, but are not in CategoryProposedFedora9. If you have no intention of completing them for Fedora 9, please remove Fedora 9 as the targeted release so that there is no confusion that it will not be in Fedora 9. These features will never be raised for acceptance by FESCo. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureXULRunner http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureVolumeControl http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureRPMYumEnhancements http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NewGdm http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RandrSupport http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ChristophWickert/FedoraLite http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureFirstboot http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SecurityAudit http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PreUpgrade http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NetworkManager-MobileBroadband http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/HandwritingRecognizer Thank you, John

Accepted Fedora Features Needing Updates
by John Poelstra 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

Dear Accepted Feature Owners, We are nearing the Alpha release for Fedora 9... currently scheduled for January 31, 2008. If you have not updated the status and % completion of your feature in the last few days, please do so now. Keeping this information current helps the people interested in testing new functionality and marketing folks who want to start getting up to speed with what is coming in Fedora 9. This would also be a great time to start filling out the "Release Notes" and "Documentation" sections of your feature page--particularly if it is presently blank. The Documentation Team is eager to start preparing the release notes and documentation for Fedora 9 so the sooner you get that information in the sooner they start working on it. The following accepted features have not been recently updated OR have empty "Release Notes" and/or "Documentation" sections. Please update this information at your earliest convenience. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureBluetooth http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureClockApplet http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureDictionary http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OneSecondX http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureFingerprint http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/freeIPA http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GoodHaskellSupport http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/K12Linux http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureMoreNetworkManager http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PackageKit http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PartitionResizing http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeaturePresto http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ServerProvides http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureTexLive http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XserverOnePointFive http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtAuthentication http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtPolicyKit http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtStorage http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvops http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Ext4 Thank you, John

Fedora 9 Alpha freeze tonight
by Jesse Keating 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

In roughly 4 hours we will snapshot the dist-f9 collection in Koji for Fedora 9 alpha. The timing is such so that tomorrow's rawhide (20080122) will be the same package set as the alpha. Our plan is to test it up a bit and have a set of packages ready by Thursday/Friday. We will be taking tag requests, but since this is Alpha, and since rawhide will continue on unblocked we'd rather it be a pretty important reason to do the tagging. We're mostly concentrating on being able to install, and from there get updates. Cheers all! -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?

Unplanned system outage
by Jesse Keating 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

It appears that we have lost one of our Xen servers for reasons not yet discovered. Systems affected seem to include bodhi, koji, account system, and possibly others. The reason for the outage is still being investigated, as well as attempts to restore service. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. More announcements will be made as services come back on-line. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?

rawhide broken dependency reports for today...
by Bill Nottingham 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Please ignore them. There was a problem with the rawhide compose; it managed to miss pulling in various pieces, leading to the dependency chaos you see in the messages. Apologies for the inconvenience. Bill

Fedora 8/ARM available
by Lennert Buytenhek 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hi all, We are proud to announce the availability of a(n unofficial) Fedora 8 package repository for the ARM architecture. The package repository has been built for ARMv5 EABI, soft-float, little endian. The majority of the important and frequently used Fedora packages have been built for ARM. The Fedora/ARM architecture wiki page has more info: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM The easiest way to start using Fedora 8/ARM is to download the prebuilt root filesystem, which can be booted in QEMU, or chroot'ed into or booted from on any ARMv5 or later processor running in little endian mode. Additional packages can be installed by using yum, which is provided in the filesystem. A HOWTO which describes getting Fedora/ARM running in QEMU is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/HowToQemu There currently are a handful of known issues, which are described at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/TODO Please help us by using the Fedora/ARM port and reporting any issues you run into so that we can fix them. thanks, Lennert
