Perhaps it is time for Aurora to merge back into the fold? It seems that Fedora would be a perfect means to do this... Cheers, Nicholas

/etc/redhat-release?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Is known yet what will happen to /etc/redhat-release? In case the 2nd Severn Beta will be the first Fedora Core "test" release, will /etc/redhat-release be gone already and reappear as /etc/fedora-release? Sort of $ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora Core release 0.90.94 (Severn) or similar? Or will there be a different transition? Any known details would be interesting in order to prepare some src.rpms in Fedora.us's Severn repository for Cambridge. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/cMik0iMVcrivHFQRAj6GAJoC2iiPUGkpBomgLnYtBJ5UCy3G7ACffma2 TrM3jChftfTtzwwTUVClpRM= =ljtj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Re: Kind request: Set release version to "10" (was: Retain upgrade paths)

If by that, you mean that the decision is to stick with 0.94 without much discussion (that I've seen or heard) and despite it's obvious shortcomings... that's a shame. Heading down this path will also lead to lots of, IMO, uncessessary Epoch inflation. One example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105746 I'm sure if nothing is done, many more will follow. I don't know about you Axel, but until I see a better alternative, I'll personally be inflating Fedora X.Y to rh(X+10)Y in the release tag of packages I maintain. The only other alternative is to simply increment Epoch for everything, which is yucky, yucky. -- Rex

GUI xml-rpc bugzilla tool
by Alexander Larsson 03 Oct '03

03 Oct '03

A couple of weeks ago jrb and I spent some time writing a GUI (pygtk) frontend to the redhat bugzilla xml-rpc interfaces. It does local caching of bug data, so after a possibly slow initial query bug work is really fast. Packages availible at: http://people.redhat.com/~jrb/files/bugtool-0.1-1.noarch.rpm http://people.redhat.com/~jrb/files/bugtool-0.1-1.src.rpm At the moment you can only view bugs and add comments. The tool is clearly not finished yet, but might still be of use to peopl. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc alexl(a)redhat.com alla(a)lysator.liu.se He's an all-American playboy assassin She's a plucky gypsy opera singer living homeless in New York's sewers.

Developer's Guide
by Roozbeh Pournader 03 Oct '03

03 Oct '03

Attached is a suggested patch for the Developer's Guide document, against the current version in CVS. One issue I didn't patch, is that 'epoch' is never explained in the document, although it's referenced twice. It certainly needs to be written about, since there are people who don't know what it is (I didn't). Changes are: 1. Fixed a typo in the legal notice. 2. Explained that anonymous access, as specified in the CVS guidelines, is not enough for changing the files on the server. 3. Mentioned that the Guidelines on RPM should be used as a checklist (almost all of its items were already explained elsewhere). 4. Mentioned that 'all' of the criteria should be met for a Beta Exception (was I right?) roozbeh

fedora only for US users ?
by Cosmic Flo 03 Oct '03

03 Oct '03

this message is a little hard but : - at first time wizard, keyboard configuration is US, not the selected language at install. - mozilla is only configured for US (language for web page, interface), the selected language at install have no importance. - evolution's meteo is Boston US, I have selected an other city in Europe. - the fedora.redhat.com web site (presentation, pages, documentation) is only in English language, I have made some propositions to translate it but no translation project have started. I think that now the fedora project is more open to community, it's time to really open it to all languages. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Search, le moteur de recherche qui pense comme vous ! http://search.msn.fr/

I volunteer
by Jack Neely 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Folks, I volunteer. First off, I am the Linux guy at NC State University. I maintain a Red Hat based distribution called Realm Linux (http://linux.ncsu.edu) along with large Beowulf clusters and all the meetings and mess to spear head a Linux movement at NCSU. I can be found on irc.freenode.net as slack. What I am interested in: LPRng - NCSU can't use Cups until me or someone else has the time to make cups use kerberos authentication. I'm thinking this will appear in Alternatives RSN but I'll keep an eye out for it. OpenAFS - I maintain some pretty decent OpenAFS packages that I like a lot more than the RPMs from upstream. Mine are FHS compliant, and build kernel modules properly. I would even volunteer to maintain OpenAFS packages for the community. However, I need some help to figure out how a default configuration should work and how site specific configuration should be done. Namely, each site must specify what AFS cell they are in and probably wish to make changes to the list of cells that the client can see. Also I would be willing to maintain an aklog package since 1) it doesn't change much and 2) I assume that most folks (I am) are using MIT kerberos with OpenAFS. 18 month lifetime - I need an 18 month or longer lifetime. Looks like this is where Fedora Legacy comes in to play. I've been talking with several people along the same lines. I'm fortunate in that I've gotten most things taken care of to the point that I'll only need to support RHL 9 and greater past Red Hat's EOL date. Although, I think I may have a couple 7.3 servers to take care of (binary Promise RAID drivers). I'd like to do what I can to help form the Fedora Legacy part of the project. -- Jack Neely <slack(a)quackmaster.net> Realm Linux Administration and Development PAMS Computer Operations at NC State University GPG Fingerprint: 1917 5AC1 E828 9337 7AA4 EA6B 213B 765F 3B6A 5B89
