Removed F9 specific content; checking out of band about legal section.
Somehow missed saving my changes on this file on the wiki side; this brings the XML
file in sync with wiki changes.
The legal section at the end needs to stay for now; I'll email Spot directly to
let us know how long to keep it, then put something about that in the wiki comments.

<title>Package Notes</title>
<para>The following sections contain information regarding software
packages that have undergone significant changes for Fedora 10. For easier access, they
are generally organized using the same groups that are shown in the installation system.
</para>
- <section id="">
- <title>Sound Card Utility </title>
- <para>The <programlisting
format="linespecific">system-config-soundcard</programlisting> utility
has been removed, due to <ulink
url="https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-March/ms...
numerous</ulink> legacy design and implementation issues. Modern technologies,
including udev and the HAL, have made most sound cards work out of the box. Any sound card
not working out of the box should be reported as a <ulink
url="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/"> bug</ulink> . Preferences can still
be fine-tuned within the desktop environment, using, among others, the PulseAudio
tools.</para>
- </section><section id="">
- <title>Perl </title>
- <para>Fedora 9 now includes Perl 5.10.0, the first "major"
release update in perl5 in some time. The Perl interpreter itself is faster with a
smaller memory footprint, and has several UTF-8 and threading improvements. The Perl
installation is now relocatable, a blessing for systems administrators and operating
system packagers. Perl 5.10.0 also adds a new smart match operator, a switch statement,
named captures, state variables, and better error messages.</para>

- <title>Yum Changes </title>
- <para>The <programlisting
format="linespecific">installonlyn</programlisting> plugin
functionality has been folded into the core <programlisting
format="linespecific">yum</programlisting> package. The
<programlisting
format="linespecific">installonlypkgs</programlisting> and
<programlisting
format="linespecific">installonly_limit</programlisting> options are
used by default to limit the system to retain only two kernel packages. You can adjust the
package set or the number of packages, or disable the option entirely to match your
preferences. More details is available in the man page for <programlisting
format="linespecific">yum.conf</programlisting>.</para><para>The
<programlisting format="linespecific">yum</programlisting> command
now retries when it detects a lock. This function is useful if a daemon is checking for
updates, or if you are running <programlisting
format="linespecific">yum</programlisting> and one of its graphical
frontends simultaneously.</para>
<para>The <programlisting
format="linespecific">yum</programlisting> command now understands a
cost parameter in its configuration file, which is the relative cost of accessing a
software repository. It is useful for weighing one software repository's packages as
greater or less than any other. The cost parameter defaults to 1000, with lower costs
given priority.</para><para>In Fedora 9 Rawhide, the <programlisting
format="linespecific">/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-development.repo</programlisting>
file has been changed to <programlisting
format="linespecific">/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo</programlisting>.
References to <programlisting
format="linespecific">development</programlisting> in
<programlisting
format="linespecific">fedora-rawhide.repo</programlisting> have been
changed to <programlisting
format="linespecific">rawhide</programlisting>. Due to the way that RPM
deals with configuration files, the existing <programlisting
format="linespecific">/etc/yum.repos.d/fed
ora-development.repo</programlisting> file is saved as <programlisting
format="linespecific">/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-development.repo.rpmsave</programlisting>
if it was previously modified. Users of the <programlisting
format="linespecific">development</programlisting> repository may need
to update scripts and custom configuration files to use the new name.</para>
- </section><section id="">
- <title>pam_mount </title>
- <para> The <programlisting
format="linespecific">pam_mount</programlisting> facility now uses a
configuration file written in XML. The <programlisting
format="linespecific">/etc/security/pam_mount.conf</programlisting>
file will be converted to <programlisting
format="linespecific">/etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml</programlisting>
during update with <programlisting
format="linespecific">/usr/bin/convert_pam_mount_conf.pl</programlisting>,
which removes all comments. Any per-user configuration files must be converted manually,
with the conversion script if desired. A sample <programlisting
format="linespecific">pam_mount.conf.xml</programlisting> file with
detailed comments about the available options appears at <programlisting
format="linespecific">/usr/share/doc/pam_mount-*/pam_mount.conf.xml</programlisting>.</para>

new style packages and fixes many security problems with the old
distribution.</para>

into Fedora 9. Work is ongoing. For the latest news and documentation, refer

- <title>Utility Packages </title>
- <para>The <programlisting
format="linespecific">nautilus-open-terminal</programlisting> package
now uses a <emphasis>GConf</emphasis> key to control its behavior when
launched by right-clicking the Desktop. To enable its previous behavior, which opens the
resulting terminal in the user's home directory, use this
command:</para><para />

removed. This functionality is now available through the <programlisting
format="linespecific">xrandr</programlisting> command in the
<programlisting
format="linespecific">xorg-x11-server-utils</programlisting>
package.</para><para>The <programlisting
format="linespecific">evolution-exchange</programlisting> package
replaces <programlisting
format="linespecific">evolution-connector</programlisting>, and
provides a capability under the old name.</para><para>The <programlisting
format="linespecific">system-config-firewall</programlisting> and
<programlisting
format="linespecific">system-config-selinux</programlisting> packages
replace <programlisting
format="linespecific">system-config-security-level</programlisting>.
The <programlisting
format="linespecific">system-config-selinux</programlisting> package is
part of the the <programlisting format="linespecific">policycoreut
ils-gui</programlisting> package.</para>

- <title>pilot-link and HAL/PolicyKit Interaction </title>
- <para>The <programlisting
format="linespecific">pilot-link</programlisting> package now
blacklists the <programlisting
format="linespecific">visor</programlisting> module by default. Users
are encouraged to try the direct USB access present in recent versions of
<programlisting format="linespecific">pilot-link</programlisting>.
This is enabled by passing the <programlisting
format="linespecific">--port usb:</programlisting> option to the
various <programlisting
format="linespecific">pilot-link</programlisting> tools, instead of the
serial devices used in the past (typically <programlisting
format="linespecific">/dev/pilot</programlisting> or <programlisting
format="linespecific">/dev/ttyUSB0</programlisting>, <programlisting
format="linespecific">/dev/ttyUSB1</programlisting>, and so forth). For
example:</para><para />
- <programlisting>
-pilot-xfer --port usb: --list
-</programlisting>
- <para />
- <para>The <programlisting
format="linespecific">hal-info</programlisting> and <programlisting
format="linespecific">hal</programlisting> packages have been updated
to correctly set permissions for the necessary USB devices using PolicyKit. If you have
any existing manual configurations, revert the changes to avoid possible
conflicts.</para><para>For further information, refer to the
<programlisting format="linespecific">README.fedora</programlisting>

format="linespecific">pilot-link</programlisting>
package.</para>

<title>GIMP </title>
<para> Fedora 10 includes version 2.6 of the GNU Image Manipulation
Program.</para>
<para>This new version is designed to be backwards compatible, so
existing third party plug-ins and scripts should continue to work -- with a minor caveat:
The included Script-Fu Scheme interpreter doesn't accept variable definitions without
an initial value anymore (which isn't compliant to the language standard). Scripts
included in Fedora packages should not have this problem, but if you use scripts from
other sources, please refer to the <ulink
url="http://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.6.html"> GIMP Release
notes</ulink> for more details and how you can fix scripts that have this
problem.</para><para>Additionally, the <programlisting
format="linespecific">gimptool</programlisting> script which is used to
build and install third party plug-ins and scripts has been moved from the
<programlisting format="linespecific">gimp</programlisting> to the
<programlisting format="linespecific">gimp-devel</programlisting>
package. Install this package if you want to use
<programlisting
format="linespecific">gimptool</programlisting>.</para>
