Triage Day
by Paul Nasrat
Yes it's that time of the week to construct obscure bugzilla queries in
a quest to help out those overworked developers.
However my brain is tired and I'm struggling to think of a theme for
this week
http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraTriage has lots of juicy titbits - feel
free to add your own it's a wiki after all.
It'd be nice to hear some feedback from people. I've just started
playing with bugzuki so if anyone has any hints and tips on that would
be great.
As always people will be around in #fedora-bugs to discuss ideas,
process and for opinons on bugs.

Question regarding Fedora / PPC support
by Christopher M. smith
I am looking to get involved with helping to test / possibly
assist in rolling out Fedora releases on PPC based hardware. In
looking around there does not appear to be ISOs of the current
content of Rawhide for installing.
I know that this is not really the best list to ask this on,
but most of the users who are on the fedora-list(a)redhat.com
mailing list aren't really doing this, and to this point haven't
been able to give me any pointers. I guess my questions thus far
are:
1. What are people who are testing / developing for PPC based
hardware doing to bootstrap an installation of Fedora?
2. Are there any documents out there right now that discuss this?
if not, I'd be more than happy to throw some together once I have
got this worked out.
Thanks for your time!
Kind Regards,
CMS

State of OpenOffice.org in Fedora
by Dan Williams
Hi,
Yes, that I am. I have already integrated the Red Hat patchset from OOo
1.1 into the gnome.org 'openoffice' module, which many of you would know
by another name, OpenOffice.org Ximian Edition.
Michael Meeks, the OOo developer for Ximian, has been working with Chris
Halls of the Debian project for a while to build an infrastructure in
Gnome.org CVS around OOo, and I have now joined that effort. This
effort will provide, as Ximian has for a while, advanced patches that
are not yet upstream but are ones users should have.
While all the patches that are in the Red Hat OOo 1.1.0-x series are
already integrated, I am still working on the install and RPM packaging
steps. However, in the near future Red Hat OOo packages for Fedora will
be functionally similar to OOo Ximian edition. I hope this effort
between Red Hat, Ximian, Debian, and others serves to provide users with
a much more functional and well-integrated version of OpenOffice.org.
Also note that this is definitely not a fork of OOo, and all patches in
gnome.org CVS for openoffice will be upstreamed sooner or later.
Cheers,
Dan

/etc/localtime isn't world readable
by Jean-Francois Veillette
Hi,
I wonder why /etc/localtime isn't world readable in the Fedora Core
distribution. Let say you put your hardware clock in UTC and your computer
is set to whatever timezone. Then by default, when you log as a user
gnome/kde clock applet display time as UTC because /etc/localtime isn't
readable. Is tbere a security issue about this file being world readable.

Re: RH recommends using Windows? plus a Question!

One thing I want to see happen is a self-service hardware compatibility
service that makes it easy for users to provide information on the
compatibility they are seeing with their hardware on Fedora, and for
which the information is well-enough organized that you can actually
have good searches for that information.
My basic concept is that there's a lot of information on the system
that you can get at with tools like lspci and dmidecode. Parse that
into units of hardware and present the user a GUI that lets them
make some easy assignments for how well things work (default is
"don't know" in order to avoid garbage) with definitions for the
levels, and places for comments for each piece of hardware. Then
this data is uploaded (signed with the user's gpg key?) in a
structured, parseable format (xml?) to a centralized database that
is both downloadable and web-searchable.
Any volunteers? :-)
(I'm cc'ing the devel list because I've noticed several people looking
for projects lately -- here's a candidate. If you are interested,
start the discussion, but I suggest keeping it on fedora-devel-list
since fedora-test-list is high-enough traffic as it is...)

Fedora.us Packages for FC1
by Michael A. Koziarski
Hey guys,
Any update on the progress of building fedora.us' stable packages for
FC1? I thought once packages were approved for 0.9x they would
automatically get published for 1?
Cheers

sk98lin driver disks
by David Kewley
A quick update to a differently-named thread back in July:
I needed updated sk98lin drivers for the 3C940 interface on the Asus P4P800
motherboard (also used for the Asus P4C800). I wanted to use the drivers
during a network kickstart.
I ended up making driver disks for RHL9, and it should be easy to produce
them for other versions of RHL and FC as well. I've provided the driver
disk images and described the process for making them at:
http://www.klab.caltech.edu/~kewley/driverdisk/sk98lin.html
In addition, I've written up some general guidance for making driver disks
using Doug Ledford's kit:
http://www.klab.caltech.edu/~kewley/driverdisk/dd.html
Hope this is helpful to some of you, and to those who search this list for
help. :)
