Release Notes freeze for FC6
by Paul W. Frields
Release notes will be frozen on the wiki for translation this Saturday,
23 September 2006. Any content not updated there will not be
translated, and will not be in the FC6 final ISO spin. Please make your
updates by Friday 22 September 2006 at 2359 UTC to ensure they are
available to FC6 users.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Schedule
Content will be unfrozen following the XML conversion and release to the
Translation Project. At that time, you may again make changes to the
wiki, but these changes will *NOT* be in the ISO or FC6 final release.
They will be published on the Web as an errata release. This Web page
is linked prominently from the top of the Release Notes included in the
FC6 ISO spin.

Cross-compilers.
by David Woodhouse
How much interest would there be in getting a bunch of cross-compilers
into Extras?
Stuff like crosstool makes it relatively simple, but it's still slow --
I'd really like to be able to easily and quickly install cross-compiler
packages for random architectures like ARM, MIPS, i386, etc.
I'd like to ship a multi-arch capable binutils like Debian's
'binutils-multi' and a set of cross-compilers -- preferably the same
versions of each as the one in Core.
It'd be particularly nice if we could install native -devel packages
into each toolchain's sysroot -- we could avoid having to rebuild glibc
etc. for architectures which are in rawhide, for example. But that isn't
imperative.
Does anyone else care? Other than the full set of rawhide architectures,
what others would we include? Alpha, SPARC{64,}, ARM, MIPS, SH I assume?
Would anyone volunteer to maintain each of those toolchains? I wouldn't
really feel happy doing it myself, since when it comes to GCC I would
only ever be a package-monkey, and not a proper _maintainer_.

Anyone working on kdelibs4 snapshot packages for developers?
by Kevin Kofler
Is anyone working on parallel-installable kdelibs4 packages (similar to the qt4
packages we already have in Extras) for Fedora to be used by developers?
(kdebase4 would be nice too, of course, because some features require it.) I'm
personally interested in these in that I have a KDE-based app (KTIGCC) which
I'd like to start porting to KDE 4, so it would be nice if I could just apt-get
install kdelibs4-devel and start coding. (Don't worry, I don't need a working
KDevelop. ;-) I'm currently using QMake 3 and Anjuta's unmanaged makefile mode,
so moving to QMake 4 is going to be straightforward.) There are packages of KDE
3.80.1 out there already for OpenSUSE and Kubuntu, and even experimental dmgs
for Mac OS X without X11.

cups daemon not starting with test3

Trying to get cups running on test3 and it dies. This is the error log

kdump support on ppc64
by Kay Tiong Khoo
Hello there,
I am currently developing on using FC5 on a Power Mac G5. So far I
have been unable to get kdump working on ppc64. Installing the kdump
kernel from 2.6.16-2133 with the latest 2.6.17-2187 kernel gave a hang.
I also tried compiling 2.6.15-2054 as a kdump kernel and that didn't
work too.
I noted on the Wiki that FC6 Test 3 does not have kdump support for
PowerPC. Are there any plans to ship a kdump kernel with FC6? Also,
in the absence of kdump support, are there any other alternatives?
Thanks.
