Forty-four years ago, John Hershel Glenn Jr. is successfully launched
into space aboard the Friendship 7 spacecraft on the first orbital
flight by an American astronaut. Russia had already sent two cosmonauts
into orbit at this time. In the many following years Russian and
America race each other for space superiority. Much later Russia and
America have finally started cooperating in Earth's adventures into
space. Competition is good, but collaboration can by so much better.
Today, Open Source stands as one of the ultimate examples of
collaboration. No boundaries, no borders, no barriers. As an example
of this collaboration, we are proud to announce:
Fedora Core 5 Test 3 Now Available
==================================
The Fedora Project announces the third release of the Fedora Core 5
development cycle, available for the i386, x86_64, and PPC/PPC64
architectures. Beware that Test releases are recommended only for Linux
experts/enthusiasts or for technology evaluation, as many parts are
likely to be broken and the rate of change is rapid.
http://fedora.redhat.com/About/schedule/
Final is scheduled for release March 15. This aggressive schedule makes vitally
important your help in testing, reporting and suggesting fixes for bugs.

by updates and search for existing bugs before filing.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Core/ReleaseFreezeProcess/

introduced. This is to prevent new bugs from surfacing and to ensure
that Fedora Core 5 is the best release we can make it. Rawhide reports

updates extensively.
Thanks to all in the Fedora Project who have contributed to this
release. Your continued efforts are what makes Fedora possible.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 4
Name : gnupg
Version : 1.4.2.1
Release : 1
Summary : A GNU utility for secure communication and data storage.
Description :
GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is a GNU utility for encrypting data and
creating digital signatures. GnuPG has advanced key management
capabilities and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet
standard described in RFC2440. Since GnuPG doesn't use any patented
algorithm, it is not compatible with any version of PGP2 (PGP2.x uses
only IDEA for symmetric-key encryption, which is patented worldwide).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
The GNU Privacy Guard provides encryption and signing for
messages and arbitrary files, and implements the OpenPGP
standard as described by IETF RFC2440.
Version 1.4.2 of GnuPG would in some cases erroneously exit
with status 0 (signalling no errors) if it was invoked to
check a signature but found no signature to check. This
should be corrected in version 1.4.2.1.
