How to contact Michale Cromeworth
by Jochen Schmitt
Halle,
I have got a mail from a guy which ask me for co-maintainership of the inady-mt package.
Unfortunately, I have got the below error report on the try to contact
him via mail.
So I would like to ask how I can contact him via an alternative mail
contact.
Best Regards:
Jochen Schmitt

F22 Self Contained Change: Gnome Shell - New Notifications
by Jaroslav Reznik
= Proposed Self Contained Change: Gnome Shell - New Notifications =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GnomeShell_NewNotifications
Change owner(s): Florian Müllner <fmuellne(a)redhat.com>
Redesign the way in which notifications are shown and kept available in gnome-
shell.
== Detailed Description ==
The message tray is one of the remaining weaker points of the original gnome-
shell design. This change will replace it with a new implementation of
notifications that avoids the problems of the current implementation.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
** Implement the new design
** Get the changes reviewed and merged upstream
* Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Contingency Plan ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)

F22 Self Contained Change: Wine to use mesa Direct3D
by Jaroslav Reznik
= Proposed Self Contained Change: Wine to use mesa Direct3D =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Wine_to_use_mesa_Direct3D
Change owner(s): Igor Gnatenko <ignatenkobrain(a)fedoraproject.org>
Enhancing mesa and wine with Direct3D9 support will increase performance and
reduce resource usage in applications which using D3D9 framework.
== Detailed Description ==
When playing d3d9 games on Wine, their d3d9 calls are translated to OpenGL.
This is complicated process, because you have to deal with different drivers
having different extensions available, and the fact that opengl and d3d9 don't
map perfectly together. Gallium Nine implements the d3d9 API with Gallium
internal API, which maps better to d3d9 than OpenGL. You remove some layers of
translation in the process which enables better performance. Gallium Nine is
not as mature as Wine OpenGL translation, and it is likely to have more bugs,
but when the games work, you can expect 5-10% improvement for gpu limited
games, or much more (sometimes 100%) for cpu limited games.
what is Gallium: Gallium is an internal graphic driver abstraction of Mesa to
enable support of non-opengl languages more easily (it is used for vdpau and
vaapi on r600/radeonsi for example). It is used by nouveau and r300 up to
radeonsi for AMD. Intel OpenGL support doesn't use gallium, but a gallium
driver named ilo exists, but isn't sponsored by Intel.
In practice, games have also smoother frame rate on Gallium Nine. Gallium Nine
has good DRI_PRIME support, and if you have a system with an iGPU+dGPU, you
can play without issues with the parameters DRI_PRIME=1 thread_submit=true

* Proposal owners: work on the Mesa Direct3D support
* Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: Revert and try to do in next release
* Contingency deadline: beta freeze

F22 Self Contained Change: Nautilus Improvements
by Jaroslav Reznik
= Proposed Self Contained Change: Nautilus Improvements =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Nautilus_Improvements
Change owner(s): Carlos Soriano <csoriano(a)redhat.com>
Tie up some of the loose ends that were leftover after the nautilus design
refresh work that has happened a while ago.
== Detailed Description ==
The nautilus code base will be cleaned up by porting it from the deprecated
GtkAction APIs to GAction. As part of this, the view, gear and app menus will
be updated to match the current designs. In addition, several long-standing
annoyances will be addressed, such as the problematic floating statusbar, and
the keyboard shortcut for deleting files.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
** Get the [1] branch reviewed and merged (in progress)
** Write a patch to change from Ctrl-Delete to Delete with an undo notification
(bug [2])
** Implement a different solution for the floating statusbar
* Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Contingency Plan ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)

Automatic background downloading of package metadata
by Marcel Oliver
Hallo,
I came to this list via Google while trying to find some information
after having a rather unpleasant experience recently: I was engaged in
a last-minute professional email exchange trying to beat a critical
deadline while on a flaky tethered wireless connection when something
(I think it was packagekitd) started downloading megabytes of
presumably package metadata, almost completely saturating the link.
I desperately tried to kill it, but maybe systemd respawned it
immediately, at least I couldn't figure out how to do it and I
couldn't Google for help as I usually do as the link was - well -
saturated.
I was lucky the whole thing finished in time, but now I am trying to
fix the issue for good. I found that it has been discussed in passing
as a side topic under the subject heading "F21 downloads repository
metadata in 3 places!" without really coming to a resolution, and I
found bits and pieces of information that leave me somewhat confused.
I believe that this is a critical issue that users should not fight
for themselves, but where the distribution should assist and be
considerate.
Here are some specific points for comment and consideration:
First, I am very sure that F20 did not do this, it must have happened
quietly after I did a fedup update (which otherwise worked well).
Second, I have some trouble understanding how the pieces of software
fit together. I am a technical user and not afraid to dig into
details if necessary, but this is more complicated than I expected it
to be. There is yum, dnf, packagekitd (I saw it with top), and Gnome
software potentially involved, but instructions I find on the web seem
to be ambiguous who is responsible for automatic metadata downloads.
Some instructions point me to open the Gnome software dconf settings,
where there is a "download updates" option (how about metadata then -
I find it unlikely that actual packages were downloaded because the
complete download volume was in the several MB range). Also, there is
a listing "compatible-projects" which contains Gnome, KDE, XFCE. But
I am a happy cinnamon user. Does this apply to me?
I am sure I can find all of this out given enough time, but I think
that if I am finding this difficult, there will be many others who
will be in a similar boat, and there should probably be some
brainstorming at the distribution level on how to set/unset such
actions, and also how to protect users from sudden unexpected behavior
which can render the network practically unusable at random times.
Last, in the mailing list thread mentioned earlier, I read the opinion
that nowadays bandwidth is not as much an issue as it used to be. In
my experience, also from observing how others use their devices, this
is not the case: we are now using mobile networked devices in
situations where a few years back we would not have dreamed being
online, including on airplanes, in remote spots with flaky mobile
reception, or at crowded conference venues where everybody is
competing for bandwidth on few configured access points. And we are
expecting that we can get work done this way. Thus, in my experience,
the ability to control who is using bandwidth at any time is a crucial
capability of an operating system and should be exposed to the user in
a more explicit way than fiddling with dconf settings.
Regards,
Marcel

USB/IP userspace review request
by Jonathan Dieter
If anyone is interested in having USB/IP working in Fedora, I'm looking
for someone to review the userspace tools at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1175270.
While the USB/IP modules were in staging, this was in RPM Fusion, but
the modules have been moved out of staging and into the proper kernel,
so it's been removed from RPM Fusion. The latest F21 and Rawhide
kernels do have the modules enabled and available in
kernel-modules-extra (thanks Josh!), so all that's left is this review.
