Rakesh pointed out that XPaint is available in ATRPMs [1]. Is it an
option for you to enable ATRPMs till we get it into Fedora proper,
assuming that there are no hitherto unseen hurdles?
Cheers,

Right up, I'd suggest that a few sessions helping the audience get up
to speed with installation, configuration and basics about using
networking, version control, mailing lists, IRC etc should suffice.
Given that you say this is a set of 'novice skills' forming an User
Group and interacting intensely with projects would lead to a quicker
round of knowledge sharing.
The FAD page on the wiki is organic - any set of activities that
should help a group of people develop into better contributors evolves
into an Activity Day. So, it is up to us to choose what should such
activities be :) Nice isn't it ?

---------- Forwarded message ----------

Here comes what's hopefully the last RC before 4.6.0 final, been dragging
on too long already. Download info and generic 4.6.0 release note draft is
(still) at http://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.6.0, below you'll find the
change summaries since RC1 - if you wonder what happened to RC2 and RC3,
they went online unannounced, trying to make up for that here...
Changes from RC3 - RC4:
- package having explicit RPMTAG_SOURCEPACKAGE is always SRPM (rhbz#478907)
- safer update on file digest algorithm change (#479869)
- dont think of gpg-pubkeys as source headers
- reflect Filemd5s -> Filedigests index name change in macro config too
- dont segfault on NULL argument to rpmpsGetProblem()
- dont segfault on "" rcfiles argument
- dont segfault if rootDir is NULL
- dont try to create "" directories
- dont segfault in pgpPubkeyFingerprint() if rpmDigest* fails
- fix regression in rpmdsMerge() on rpmdsSingle() and rpmdsThis() items
- fix memleak on I18N strings retrieved with HEADERGET_ALLOC
- use temporary table for Depends in sqlite backend too
- dont run %pre- and %posttrans scripts if --noscripts is specified
- delay NSS initialization to limit problems with forking (rhbz#476737)
- permit --noscripts on verify
- javadeps format string fix
- fix buffer overlow on long filelist entries (susebz#397006)
- check for dbenv->failchk() exit code
- check for chroot() result in psm too
- check for termination signals during query loops
- added ARMv7 support
- added ISA macros for ARM
- update documentation wrt gpg path macro (rhbz#476201)
- clarify documentation wrt generating API/hacking documentation
- dont bother with translations for internal/test-only tools
- updated Swedish translation
- updated Polish translation
Changes from RC2 - RC3
- make sure headers can be included from C++ (ticket #12)
- work around jrpm (?) produced packages not having RPMTAG_SOURCERPM
- empty arrays on queryformats return nothing at all
- fix segfault on packages without scriptlet program tag (rhbz#475214)
- fix pkg-config provide generation on interdependent .pc's (rhbz#473814)
- tighten up setting and checking of buildroot (ticket #10)
- bunch of tag extension regression fixes from RC2 (rhbz#474550)
- fix python return type for non-existent tags (rhbz#473239)
- backwards compatibility include for rpmGenPath() (rhbz#473420)
Changes from RC1 - RC2
- read default popt aliases again (rhbz#473167)
- fix old, pathological memory fragmentation on fingerprinting (rhbz#472507)
- fixes to permit relative paths on buildtree creation
- restore SIGPIPE to default action for scriptlets (rhbz#471591)
- calculate total file size correctly in build (mdvbz#45820, rhbz#247374)
- tag extension enhancements generalizing numeric data handling (rhbz#471820)
- use better hash to improve initial install speed
- filter out mtime difference of shared files on verify (rhbz#426672)
- fix segfault on relocation (rhbz#468319)
- fix old memleak in rpmtsAddInstallElement()
- make noarch subpackages actually work
- skip adding identical NEVR to transaction on install too (rhbz#467822)
- permit tab as whitespace between macro arguments (rhbz#467567)
- adjust for file/libmagic output change (rhbz#468129)
- SH-platform fixes (ISA-macros, IEEE-compliance)
- PATH_MAX portability fixes (ticket #3)
- avoid leaking C99 options into stock %{__cc} macro
- remove extranuous trailing slash from pkgconfig includedir
- make peace with new libtool
- updated Brazilian Portugese translation
- updated Serbian translation
Still reading? Quite a pile there, I agree. In retrospective, RC3
should've probably gone out as 4.6.0 but it's a bit too late to speculate
on that. Oh and FWIW, a big part of the fixes that went to especially RC4
were found by Pixel through testing on Mandriva rpm-software stack,
exercising different code paths than what typically gets tested by me so
it would've been hard to notice them otherwise, thanks for spotting and
reporting!
RC4 will go out as 4.6.0 final as-is in about a week, unless severe
regressions from RC3 are found.

Request for Packaging Blueman for Fedora
by Rishikesh Sharma
Hi All,
I request fedora packager to create Blueman rpm for Fedora. Its a nice
bluetooth manager for Linux. Ubuntu has already included in thier
respository. It allows any common user to connect any bluetooth device with
ease. It also allow you to connect gprs internet connection from mobile
without having to know commands.
Regards,

To become better Ambassador Mentoring we have decided to use this ML as a
Communication Base, if there is no objection from greg who is the list owner.
I have also added a link on the Mentors Page
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mentors#Ambassadors
to Regional Mentoring. We should discuss to replace the list with regional
mentors also on that page.
Meeting time, after your Feedbacks, it seems that for an first Kick-Off the
Sunday seems a doable choice. How sounds Sunday 01 February 17:00 UTC for this
first meeting? We can figure out new meeting times as soon as we know how we
proceed. Just reply to the mentors list.
