can't add comments to my own bug
by Alex Lancaster
This is odd, I filed a bug, which I can no longer edit, even to just
add a comment. I get the message:
"Product Edit Access Denied
You are not permitted to edit bugs in product Red Hat Release
Engineering Tools."
Surely you should always be able to add (at least a comment) to a bug
if you are the reporter, even if it's another product:

Last minute Nautilus change for Fedora 9
by Mark
Hey,
I know i should have asked this earlier but the issue is just tiny.
Probably even just a rebuild of nautilus where you change one setting
in the gconf values.
Oke a while back i talked here about a thumbnail patch for nautilus.
That was with gnome 2.18
It got accepted gnome upstream and is in gnome since 2.20. (the code
isn't looking like what i submitted but that doesn't mather :)).
Since gnome 2.20 we have this new setting in nautilus->icon_view
(gconf-editor: /apps/nautilus/icon_view/thumbnail_size). By default
that value is set to: "96" while the default icon size of all the
desktop icons is: 48.
Now i was hoping we could change this to make the icons and the
thumbnails the same size. A desktop looks a lot more attractive when
the icons and thumbnails are the same size than when everything is
48x48 and just a few images have a thumbnail of 96x96 making it look
strange.
I hope to see a FESCo vote for this one for monday?
Thanx,
Mark.

Where are the boot.iso images for the fedora deveolpment repo?
by Mark
Hey,
I just wanted to download a boot.iso of the latest development version
and install Fedora Rawhide but i can't find them on the mirrors in the
images folder (that's where they used to be). The README in the images
folder still mentions the boot.iso.
So did boot.iso left the repo or is it just not made yet? And how can
i install rawhide if there isn't a boot.iso file?
Thanx,
Mark.

Framework for dynamic throttling.
by Sunil Ghai
Hi,
I have discussed my idea about "Updates with dynamic bandwidth throttling"
in another thread.
Though it still needs to be worked out but how about having a framework in
the form of libraries or threads to implement dynamic throttling. So
services, those want to have dynamic throttling feature can take help of
this framework. Service could be a package manager for updates, or a file
down oader or anything. Windows machine uses same kind of framework for
updates (which is also available for another applications), they call it
BITS<http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/bits.mspx>
.
I would like to know your views, how this kind of framework would fit in
GNU/Linux operating systems and some technical issues related with this.
Regards,
Sunil Ghai

broken deps at beginning of rawhide report?
by Alex Lancaster
I wonder if the formatting of the rawhide reports could be altered
slightly to show the broken deps *first* before the list of new and
updated packages? This way the current state of the brokenness (or
otherwise) of rawhide is more obvious to all maintainers, currently
you have to scroll to the end of the report to see it.
I'm aware that individual maintainers get separate nagmail whenever
they have a broken package in the rawhide repo, but the reverse is not
necessarily true. That is, a maintainer that updates a package that
breaks a downstream dependent package isn't necessarily aware of the
extent of the breakage caused. Having the broken deps up-front would
hopefully work somewhat against that tendency.
It would also allow at-a-glance the general state of rawhide and
hopefully motivate maintainers to think about the distro as a whole
and keep the list of broken deps as short as possible. (Maybe also
include a diff on whether the length of deps has increased or
decreased since the last rawhide?) I'm aware that sometimes there is
a large (but transient) breakage across the distro, but also there
appear to be packages that have persisted for several weeks without
being fixed and seeing the same broken package week after week in the
report might motivate others to fix it (I know it has for me in the
past).
Getting the broken deps list shortened is especially necessary given
the upcoming alpha freeze.

Auto rebuild release bump issue
by Orion Poplawski
For pre-release software, i.e. with a release number starting with "0.",
the auto-rebuild release bump should add a .1 to the end (or bump an
existing number at the end).
In this case I have gdl 0.9-0.pre6.fc9. It got bumped to
0.9-1.pre6.fc9. It should be 0.9-0.pre6.fc9.1.

3/8 updates
by Mike Chambers
Are these getting out to the mirrors OK or is it just me? Seems like
every mirror I check, they all have 3/7, but fedora main site has 3/8.
