Feel free to put in a ticket for it
https://fedorahosted.org/security-spin/report/1 and I'm sure someone
will get to it asap.
Many thanks for your suggestion!

Fedora Security Spin QA Efforts
by Adam Miller
Hello all,
This is mainly going out to those who are interested in the
(hopefully) upcoming Security Spin. I want to establish some QA
efforts as to provide a high quality experience to security
professionals and hobbyists alike who are interested in the project. I
would like to first do a break down of test cases for all the
security-centric packages involved in the security spin as that is the
"bread and butter" of the spin and are generally "niche" applications
which require some sort of expertise or a slightly higher learning
curve than your average web browser (just for example). Once that part
is complete, I would also like to apply AdamW's Desktop Test Cases to
it in order to get a higher level outlook of making sure that portion
of the Spin is of high quality as well.
Here is the current list of packages shipped with the Security Spin:
https://fedorahosted.org/security-spin/wiki/availableApps if anyone is
familiar with any of these apps it would be greatly appreciated if you
could put together a short snippet or "how to" for basic use that can
be used for a test case. Feel free to reply here to this thread and I
can input them into the wiki or post your results here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SecuritySpin:QA_Brainstorm
Many thanks to all,

Re: [Fedora-spins] No lzma sdk in fedora
by Bruno Wolff III
I did some testing of the dev squashfs and found it reduced the game spin
size by 10%. (This was a nonfunctional spin, since the kernel wouldn't
handle the lzma squashfs image.)
mksquashfs uses multiple processors for both zlib and lzma compression.
I made a spin using the dev squashfs using the default zlib compression
and it worked. This suggests that we can get the dev version into F13
without needing to wait until kernel support and an enhanced
livecd-creator are ready.
I still don't think trying to change livecd-creator to add features this
late is a good idea, but it might be OK to land it as an update after
a 2.6.34 update has landed in F13.

Games spin status
by Bruno Wolff III
The recent gmime soname change is breaking builds right now making it difficult
to do size testing. (There really should be an earlier freeze for soname
bumps with dependencies than for leaf things.)
Anyway, if it isn't cleared up by the alpha freeze, I'll make a guess and
possibly do a tweak after freeze. The gmime issue should be an alpha blocker,
since it should also be breaking the desktop spin, and hopefully should get
fixed pretty quickly.

Fedora Ro Spin State?
by Sebastian Dziallas
Hi Adrian,
we've been discussing the Fedora Ro Spin at today's Spins SIG meeting
and some questions arose on whether this is intended to just live in the
GIT repository or you're aiming at doing a full spin.
Please reply to the Spins SIG's mailing list which I'm cc'ing here for
further discussion.
Thanks,
--Sebastian
