Okay to package HTTPS Everywhere 2.0?
by Russell Golden
There will be new features in HTTPS Everywhere 2.0, but I'm not sure
they are significant enough to forbid packaging for EPEL. So, I'm
asking for opinions.
The new features will include:
> - 400+ new rulesets
> - numerous improvements to make the UI more usable
> - translations into a dozen languages
> - accessibility improvements for visually impaired users
> - an option to use the Decentralized SSL Observatory
Remember that this is a browser extension for Firefox. On most
machines, it'll probably auto-update in user profiles, anyway. At
least I assume so. I don't know the typical enterprise user profile
setup.
Thank you for your feedback.

awn (avant-window-manager) for EL6
by Nelson Manuel Marques
Hi,
I've packaged awn 0.3.2.1 (which doesn't require GObject Instrospection)
for RHEL6 for my own personal needs.
Anyone interested also on it so I can share it through EPEL (I'm adding
it tonight on my personal repo on fedora space (alongside with a few
other packages I use for my RHEL Desktop).
If so, please let me know so I can open bug-report on BZ and go through
another submission.

Mock and CMS
by Nelson Manuel Marques
Hi all,
I would like to ask a question on this list to anyone who might be using 'mock' and SCM features. I've tried to use mock to pick the sources from SVN, and creating a tarbal. Everything seems to work fine except for the version of the tarball created:
- Tarball is created as: dummy-1.tar.gz
- Tarball should be creates as: dummy-1.0.1.tar.gz
Now, I'm not sure on how the version is generated by mock when it creates the tarbal. Anyone more fluent on with this process could give me a pointer, maybe some blog posts with some examples ?
NM
