commit e63a3bb8dd7a6d60f8ea13e96446aed7a0e26633
Author: Pete Travis <immanetize at fedoraproject.org>
Date: Wed Apr 8 21:32:11 2015 -0600
Clear beats for F22
- Products pages left intact for realtime review. Cloud, Server, and
Workstation need to be described in whole, not only changes, and it'll
be easier to build off the previous release's content.
- Added a small note about nohostonly initramfs and the rescue grub
option to the kernel boilerplate. It's a source of confusion, this
should help.

- <title>Apache Mesos</title>
- <para>Apache Mesos is a cluster manager that provides efficient
- resource isolation and sharing across distributed applications,
- or frameworks. It abstracts CPU, memory, storage, and other
- compute resources away from machines (physical or virtual),
- enabling fault-tolerant and elastic distributed systems to
- easily be built and run effectively. Apache Mesos is built
- using the same principles as the Linux kernel, only at a
- different level of abstraction. The Mesos kernel runs on every

- <para>Apache Pig is a platform for analyzing large data sets
- that consists of a high-level language for expressing data
- analysis programs, coupled with infrastructure for evaluating
- these programs. The salient property of Pig programs is that
- their structure is amenable to substantial parallelization,
- which, in turn, enables them to handle very large data sets. At
- the present time, Pig's infrastructure layer consists of a
- compiler that produces sequences of Map-Reduce programs, for
- which large-scale parallel implementations already exist (e.g.,

- <para>Apache Spark is a fast and general engine for large-scale
- data processing. It supports developing custom analytic
- processing applications over large data sets or streaming data.
- Because it has the capability to cache intermediate results in
- cluster memory and schedule DAGs of computations, Spark
- programs can run up to 100x faster than equivalent Hadoop
- MapReduce jobs. Spark applications are easy to develop,
- parallel, fast, and resilient to failure, and they can operate
- on data from in-memory collections, local files, a
- Hadoop-compatible filesystem, or from a variety of streaming
- sources. Spark also includes libraries for distributed machine

- <para>
- For version 3.4, Python upstream has decided to implement changes summarized in the <ulink url="http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0453/">PEP 453</ulink> document. In short, these mean:
-</para>
-<orderedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- bundling archives with the <systemitem>setuptools</systemitem> and <systemitem>pip</systemitem> utilities in Python distribution
- </para>

- providing the <systemitem>ensurepip</systemitem> module that is able to install these archives either on a system or in the <systemitem>virtualenv</systemitem> environment.
- </para>
- </listitem>
-</orderedlist>
-<para>
- Due to Fedora strict non-bundling policies, <systemitem>setuptools</systemitem> and <systemitem>pip</systemitem> are unbundled. To match the upstream functionality, the following approach has been implemented:
-</para>
-<orderedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- The <package>python3</package> package now depends on the <package>python3-setuptools</package> and <package>python3-pip</package>. This means that users do not have to use the <systemitem>ensurepip</systemitem> to install <systemitem>setuptools</systemitem> and <systemitem>pip</systemitem> utilities separately as they are by default installed altogether with <package>python3</package>
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- To install the <systemitem>setuptools</systemitem> and <systemitem>pip</systemitem> utilities in the <systemitem>virtualenv</systemitem> environment from the system packages, a mechanism called <systemitem>rewheel</systemitem> has been implemented to Fedora 21. When a new <systemitem>virtualenv</systemitem> is being created, <systemitem>rewheel</systemitem> takes the system <package>python3-setuptools</package> and <package>python3-pip</package> packages, recreates their archives and installs them in the new <systemitem>virtualenv</systemitem> so that the upstream functionality is preserved.
- </para>
- </listitem>
-</orderedlist>
-<para>
- One more advantage is provided by the <systemitem>rewheel</systemitem> approach. When there is a bug, for example a security issue, in either <package>python3-setuptools</package> or <package>python3-pip</package>, Fedora maintainers of these packages fix the bug and users get the fixed packages. Therefore, <systemitem>virtualenvs</systemitem> created after updating to fixed <package>python3-setuptools</package> or <package>python3-pip</package> will have already fixed version. With pure upstream Python, this approach is not possible, users will have to wait for upstream to release new Python version with these fixes incorporated. This means that the <systemitem>rewheel</systemitem> patch makes the <package>python3</package> package fulfill Fedora's high packaging standards and also helps to make <systemitem>virtualenvs</systemitem> more secure.

- <para>
- The <application>Anaconda</application> installer now supports <systemitem>swap</systemitem> on zRAM during the installation.
- </para>
- <para>
- zRAM is a standard block device with compressed contents. Placing <systemitem>swap</systemitem> into such a device during the installation allows the installer to store more data in RAM instead of in the hard drive. This is especially helpful on low-memory systems; on these systems, the installation can be performed much faster with this feature enabled.
- </para>

- This feature is automatically enabled if <application>Anaconda</application> detects 2 GB or less memory, and disabled on systems with more memory. To force zRAM swap on or off, use the <option>inst.zram=on</option> or <option>inst.zram=off</option> boot option within the boot menu.

- <title>MD5 signed certificates are rejected</title>
- <para>
- OpenSSL was patched to disallow verification of certificates that are signed with MD5 algorithm. The use of MD5 hash algorithm for certificate signatures is now considered as insecure and thus all the main crypto libraries in Fedora were patched to reject such certificates.
- </para>
- <para>
- Certificates signed with MD5 algorithm are not present on public https web sites anymore but they may still be in use on private networks or used for authentication on openvpn based VPNs. It is highly recommended to replace such certificates with new ones signed with SHA256 or at least SHA1. As a temporary measure the <envar>OPENSSL_ENABLE_MD5_VERIFY</envar> environment variable can be set to allow verification of certificates signed with MD5 algorithm.
