Subject: Fedora 8 and 9 updates status<br>To: <a href="mailto:fedora-devel-announce@redhat.com">fedora-devel-announce@redhat.com</a>, <a href="mailto:fedora-announce-list@redhat.com">fedora-announce-list@redhat.com</a><br>
<br></span>As you well know, we have been working hard to get updates for 8 and 9<br>flowing again, complete with new package signing keys. Discussion has<br>been somewhat quiet on this front as we've all had our heads down and<br>
have been working hard toward a solution, one that involves little to no<br>manual effort on behalf of our users.<br><br>Today we've reached a major milestone in this progress. We have done a<br>successful compose of all the existing and as of yesterday pending<br>
updates for Fedora 8 and Fedora 9, all signed with our new keys. These<br>updates will soon hit mirrors in a new set of directory locations. What<br>we don't have quite yet is the updated fedora-release package in the old<br>
updates location that will get you the new keys and the new repo<br>locations. The last mile testing of this update requires that new<br>updates be live on the mirrors.<br><br>Due to the size of the resigned updates, it may take a good while for<br>
our sync process. This may delay getting the new fedora-release out<br>until tomorrow, but we'll be working hard on it.<br><br>While we're working on this update, we'll also be drafting a FAQ page to<br>explain to users what it is that we're doing, and hopefully answer some<br>
of the questions that will come up. This document will be living<br>though, and as you encounter questions yourself, or questions via one of<br>our many avenues of support (email, IRC, forums, LUGS, etc..) please<br>help us in growing that document. Announcements regarding the location<br>
of said document and how to help with content will be coming shortly.<br><br>We deeply appreciate the enormous magnitude of patience you the greater<br>community has shown us the Fedora project as we work though these<br>
serious issues. It is a great testament to how wonderful it is to work<br>in and with the Fedora community.<br><br>--<br>Jesse Keating<br>Fedora -- Freedomē is a feature!<br><a href="http://identi.ca">identi.ca</a>: <a href="http://identi.ca/jkeating">http://identi.ca/jkeating</a><br>
