[Guidelines Change] Changes to the Packaging Guidelines
by Tom Callaway
Two changes have recently been made to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines.
Specifically:
The Fedora Packaging Guidelines have been updated to clarify the Static
Library packaging guidelines. For the clarified wording, see:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#StaticLibraries
Guidelines for packaging Sugar Activities are now in place, they live
at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SugarActivityGuidelines
(they are also referenced in the Packaging/Guidelines and
Packaging/NamingGuidelines)
Many thanks to Dennis Gilmore, and all of the members of the FPC and
FESCo,
for assisting in drafting, refining, and passing these guidelines.
A reminder: The Fedora Packaging Guidelines are living documents! If you
find something missing, incorrect, or in need of revision, you can
suggest a draft change. The procedure for this is documented here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Committee#GuidelineChangeProcedure
Thanks,

Vegastrike Live
by Nicu Buculei
I have not played Vegastrike ever, so I have no idea about how good is
the game (and frankly, space sims are not my favorite genre, so I don't
have any plans to learn), but reading the thread about its data package
file size this idea seems natural to me: how about a special Fedora spin
for the game?
While it does not solve the initial problem about space on mirrors and
bandwidth usage, it seems a cool idea to me to have a bootable USB pen
drive (with live persistence for savegames!!!) with a minimal Fedora and
the complete game. It may be targeted at 1 GB drives (including the
space for live persistence), to keep the costs low.
Thinking more about it, maybe even drop any desktop, start the game
directly and shut down on exit. Simple as this: put the drive in, start
the computer and play (pimp Fedora only during the startup, while RHGB
is doing its job).
This may work also for other such large games and it may be a good
showcase of our technology.

I'd be happy to be its primary maintainer if you no longer want the task.
(Though, I've already done the pkgdb requests so you'll have to take care of
those, sorry. XD)
Thanks.

New version of SDCC; request for co-maintainers.
by Trond Danielsen
Hi everyone,
I am the maintainer of SDCC[1], and need some feedback from some of
it's users. I am in the process of upgrading from 2.6.0 which is the
current version in Fedora to 2.8.0 which is the latest upstream
version. It is now over a year since the first version was submitted
to Fedora, and honestly I do not remember all the details in the spec
file. If anyone has the time to help upgrading to 2.8.0 I would be
grateful, my schedule is pretty full these days as I expect a fork in
the family tree any day soon...

Best regards,

three unison versions in bugzilla and strange update
by John Poelstra
Does anyone know why there are three versions for 'unison' in bugzilla?
-unison
-unison213
-unison227
This seems very inconsistent with most of the other components there.
Can we just go back to one?
Also... I have unison-2.13.16-3.fc6.i386 installed and when I 'yum
update' it wants to install both of these:
---> Package unison227.x86_64 0:2.27.57-8.fc9 set to be updated
---> Package unison213.x86_64 0:2.13.16-10.fc9 set to be updated
Bug or feature?

performance related but not only
by Jakub 'Livio' Rusinek
hi,
few weeks (months?) ago I said that Fedora is ugly slow. that's still
true, BUT (don't stop reading) using openSUSE on the same computer
wasn't so comfortable.
true, that I like their solutions (not all of course), but frequent
freezes (for about 1-2sec) and longer GNOME + Compiz startup, teached
me, that from my hardware I can't get more performance.
I have duron CPU. know as cheap-shit (sorry for such adjective here) by
its slowness.
Fedora wasn't fast, but was smooth on my CPU. openSUSE was fast, but
freezed frequently.
I learned through my Linux-excursions, that I can't require many from
people, from community, if I'll be rude and will shout and scream.
from what I learned, I can also propose you web interface for packaging.
quite comfortable to stop using own hardware to test RPM building etc.,
omit CVS and create packages in own repo (PPA- and KoPeR-like) and then
eventually move to official repo.
currently I'm sitting at home and writing this, using openSUSE. I will
use it until Fedora 9 is released and nVidia updates their driver.
only thing I can say now is big and sincere (not sure if translator
didn't chose wrong word)...
sorry
and I promise I'll try to discuss constructive with good arguments and
stop being such rude and unmature. I hope you can safely stop ignoring
me beginning from now.
in advance, thanks for reading and understanding.
ps: don't afraid to tell me, when my behavior is inacceptible. I'll
receive this with humility.
