Thank You
by Dallas Slieker
This is a simple thank you to all the developers out there working on their
various Fedora-Related projects.
In the midst of all the reported problems and debates, I think you should
all take a small moment out of your busy schedules to pat yourselves on the
back for being one of the very few in the world that understand and do what
you do.
*round of applause*
I can't wait to secure a schedule that will enable me to begin helping out,
and I certainly can't wait to get my hands on FC6!
Viva La Fedora!

Another slip in the FC6 schedule
by Jesse Keating
Over the weekend we ran into a few more bugs with Fedora Core 6 that we
decided were important enough to fix. There were some multilib compose
issues (wrong packages landing in the wrong dirs), some translation files
that would cause tracebacks in things like anaconda (whoops), and a
fedora-release package that forgot to enable updates (double whoops). For
these reasons and a few others, we decided to respin the release candidate
tree and push the release date out another couple of days.
The current plan is to spin a release candidate this evening with some last
minute fixes, and start the sync. Validation has gone very well up to this
point and baring any blow ups in the spin process, the release looks very
solid. We're planning to release on Thursday Oct 19th. This should give the
mirrors enough days to sync up. If things blow up horribly and we have to
spin again tomorrow, depending on what time we have to respin we may slip
until next week, as releasing on Fridays or Mondays gets you the wrath of the
mirror admins (:
I want to thank you all for playing along and helping us to make FC6 the best
release yet!

Fedora Core 6 release date slip
by Jesse Keating
We regret to announce a slip of the Fedora Core 6 release schedule. A few
issues are still present that we would like to see fixed before we release.
- Possible ext3 corruption bug
- Installs with 256megs of ram stall
- Package ordering issues on multilib platforms (x86_64, ppc64)
- SELinux issue with updating kernels on ppc platforms
- iscsi based installations not functional
There are obviously other issues and bugs still open, but these are the ones
that are really "blocking" the release. To give enough time to fix these
issues, we've extended the release date 6 days to Tuesday, Oct 17th. Freezes
are still in place (even more so now). Your extra careful testing of rawhide
over the next few days would greatly be appreciated.
Keep an eye on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Core/Schedule for any changes.

mono vs exec-shield
by Alexander Larsson
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=210830 describes an
issue where mono crashes on startup with later kernels that have
exec-shield enabled. I don't see this on my Core Duo machine, so I don't
know exactly what machines see this. Anyone else see this?
Mono does use mprotect to make the heap pages executable. Is there
something in exec-shield prohibiting this for some machines? If so, is
there a way to disable this for the mono binary?

On encouraging Macromedia & others to supply repos for Fedora
by Benjy Grogan
When I installed the flash-plugin during FC5 first days out of the
womb it was a one shot deal. I used the Macromedia repo that Warren
Togami announced <http://lwn.net/Articles/176376/> and was
automatically offered all security updates that followed. Will Fedora
re-announce that deal with FC6, and are there any other repo deals in
the making with other ISVs? Google, Skype, and Sun Microsystems would
be good candidates. I wouldn't mind being offered Google Earth and
Picasa updates as they come about.

feedback: fc5 and fc6t3 x86_64
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello there,
I've just received some feedback from 3 users with fc5 and fc6t3 x86_64.
All the three of them:
yum is downloading both 32 bits and 64 bit versions of the same
packages, hence during installation there are conflicts.
Is this a known issue ?
is there a solution and in fc6 will it be corrected?
