Plan for tomorrows (20080424) FESCO meeting
by Brian Pepple
Please find below the list of topics that are likely to come up in the
next FESCo meeting that is scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday at 17:00 UTC
in #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.org:
/topic FESCo meeting -- Any objection to this week's report from FPC at
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-April/msg01717.html
/topic FESCo-Meeting -- F9 - any issues needing discussion? - all
/topic FESCo meeting -- Free discussion around Fedora
You want something to be discussed? Send a note to the list in reply to
this mail and I'll add it to the schedule. You can also propose topics
in the meeting while it is in the "Free discussion around Fedora" phase.
If your name/nick is on above list please update the status on the
Extras schedule pages in the wiki ahead of the meeting. That way all the
other FESCo members and interested contributors know what up ahead of
the meeting. And we will avoid long delays in the meeting -- those often
arise if someone describes the recent happenings on a topic directly in
the meeting while all the others have to wait for his slow typing...
Later,
/B

Install F9 on a loopback file a la Wubi
by Ahmed Kamal
Hi list,
Did anyone successfully install a modern Fedora on a loopback file a la Wubi
? I know nothing automated like Wubi exists for Fedora, I have no problem
bringing my sledge hammer to make this work. I just need to know if there
are any pointers/guides somewhere for how to make this work?
PS: Please don't ask why would I want to do that :)
Regards

Thanks for considering me....
by Jason (spot) Brower
It looks like I didn't get accepted for my project, JWuN, but I wanted
to thank those that supported me and made effort to comment about both
in email and on the student dashboard. If we are lucky, perhaps we
can even start to see a version of this soon anyway. It sounded like
a simple project, according to the group, perhaps it is.
Regards,
Jason Brower

installing to a loopback mount wouldnt be hard .. its similar to a liveCD ... you can also install it using yum --installroot (provided you know what to install to get a running system) ..
what tricky is how to make it boot from windows ..
this could be an interesting feature to add into Revisor
(what language wubi is written on?, maybe you can find some clue on how that side of the distro world boot that loopback image)
IIRC, Mandrake linux had this feature a long long time ago ... wubi is simply something old with a new appearance ..

No collectd component in Bugzilla
by Richard W.M. Jones
I just added the collectd package to Fedora, and almost simultaneously
someone sent me a bug report. Unfortunately there is no 'collectd'
component in the current Bugzilla so I can't park this bug anywhere to
work on it later.
Since collectd package is very new (added just hours ago) should I
wait or is there someone I should contact about this?
Rich.

You sure you want to do that too? :)
[root@rawfedora ~]# ls -la /sbin/pidof
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2008-03-26 13:52 /sbin/pidof -> killall5
Nevermind the historical reasons psmisc/sysvinit-tools pidof has the symlink to killall5 or whatever
Debian has it even worse ---> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2008-04-04 16:32 /bin/pidof -> ../sbin/killall5
Fun :-)
