#3761: add gpg signature for .treeinfo file and/or add CHECKSUM file for unsigned
content of images

Description of problem:
Currently the only way to verify the contents of .treeinfo or the
installer
images is to download the .iso and the regarding -CHECKSUM file and check
it.
But e.g. preupgrade does not download the .iso but the *.img files, the
kernel
and the .treeinfo directly from a mirror. Therefore it is also not
possible to
easily verify these files. I guess the preupgrade way of updating is
somehow
popular, therefore it should be possible to do this securely.
I filed a bug against preupgrade for not verifying anything and not
announcing
this here: bug 509338

Can we get collectd in EPEL set to disable multi-lib? It has become an
issue on EPEL where installing "collectd" via yum creates conflicts it
shouldn't.

#4324: Change product string in pungi for better syslinux usability
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------

Right now when you boot Fedora live media or otherwise call up Syslinux,
you are greeted with:
"Welcome to Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop!"
It's not the most welcoming message though because the string is a bit
unwieldy and hard-to-read. Syslinux pulls from the PRODUCT string produced
via pungi:
scripts/mk-images.x86: sed -i "s/@PRODUCT@/$PRODUCT/g"
$MBD_BOOTTREE/syslinux.cfg
I was hoping that string produced by pungi could be cleaned up a bit to be
more friendly. Some examples I think that would be better:
Fedora 14 (32-bit)
Fedora 14 (64-bit)
Fedora 14 (32-bit DVD)
Fedora 14 (64-bit DVD)
Fedora 14: KDE Plasma (32-bit)
Fedora 14: KDE Plasma (64-bit)
Fedora 14: LXDE (32-bit)
Fedora 14: LXDE (64-bit)
Fedora 14: Xfce (32-bit)
Fedora 14: Xfce (64-bit)
Fedora 14: Electronic Lab (32-bit)
Fedora 14: Electronic Lab (64-bit)
Fedora 14: Design Suite (32-bit)
Fedora 14: Design Suite (64-bit)
Fedora 14: Sugar on a Stick (32-bit)
Fedora 14: Sugar on a Stick (64-bit)
Fedora 14: Games Spin (32-bit)
Fedora 14: Games Spin (64-bit)
Fedora 14: Security Lab (32-bit)
Fedora 14: Security Lab (64-bit)
So the rules I'm suggesting for the strings:
- The default desktop is called simply "Fedora $VERSION ($ARCH)"
- Any non-default spins are called "Fedora $VERSION: $NAME_OF_SPIN
($ARCH)"
- The spin name is derived from either the http://fedoraproject.org/en
/get-fedora-options#desktops get.fpo options page or the
spins.fedoraproject.org full name for the spin. (KDE is probably updating
theirs to KDE Plasma as reflected in example strings above.)
- Put the arch in () after the name of the spin. Where arch is '32-bit',
'64-bit', 'Power PC', etc. The arch names here are suggested to be
consistent with what the downloads are labeled on our main web pages
(get.fpo and spins.fpo)
- If it's live media, don't indicate that, don't point it out. Only
indicate if it's a DVD.
If it's DVD, point it out after the arch in the ( )
- $VERSION should be a whole number without decimals for a final release.
For test releases / release candidates it would be nice to indicate
something like, '14.92 RC1' '14.91 Nightly 06 Jan 2011' but that's up to
your discretion!
This is where the text will appear in syslinux:

#3883: more meaningful error if module isn't found

Right now fedpkg fails with access denied message if there is not such
module:
{{{
$ fedpkg clone gtkmm30
R access for gtkmm30 DENIED to kalev
}}}
Would be nice to get a more meaningful error in that case, perhaps "module
not found".
Filing it in releng trac as the error is coming from gitolite, just being
passed along by fedpkg.

This is a rel-eng decision that I'll need input on. Currently the
packagedb branches packages which are not blocked in koji. Some packages
which are not built for the primary arch are blocked in koji -- s390utils
for instance. Does the packagedb need to whitelist these or should the
packages be unblocked as they are discovered?
