It's been a long time since we last had an official release of IBM
System z on Fedora...
A really long time...
A really, really long time...
In fact and to be precise, it's been 134,265,600 seconds or 2,237,760
minutes or 37,296 hours or 1554 days since Fedora 6 was released on
October 24th 2006 which was the last release where IBM System z was
included.
But today, today changes all this.
As today, the Fedora IBM System z (s390x) Secondary Arch team proudly
presents the Fedora 14 for IBM System z 64bit official release!
And without further ado, here the links to the actual release:
http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/14/Fedora/…http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/14/Everyth…
and obviously on all mirrors that mirror the secondary arch content.
The first directory contains the normal installation trees as well as 1
DVD ISO and 5 CD ISOs with the complete release.
Everything as usual contains, well, everything. :)
We have collected a couple of example config files, kickstart examples
and a nice README here:
http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/spins/S390/
but beware that currently the images found there are still outdated,
we're working on fixing that over the next weeks.
Additional information about know issues, the current progress and state
for future release, where and how the team can be reached and just
anything else IBM System z on Fedora related can be found here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/s390x
Thanks go out to everyone involved in making this happen!

Summary: Fedora infrastructure intrusion but no impact on product integrity
On January 22, 2011 a Fedora contributor received an email from the Fedora
Accounts System indicating that his account details had been changed. He
contacted the Fedora Infrastructure Team indicating that he had received
the email, but had not made changes to his FAS account. The Infrastructure
Team immediately began investigating, and confirmed that the account had
indeed been compromised.
At this time, the Infrastructure Team has evidence that indicates the account
credentials were compromised externally, and that the Fedora Infrastructure was
not subject to any code vulnerability or exploit.
The account in question was not a member of any sysadmin or Release Engineering
groups. The following is a complete list of privileges on the account:
* SSH to fedorapeople.org (user permissions are very limited on this machine).
* Push access to packages in the Fedora SCM.
* Ability to perform builds and make updates to Fedora packages.
The Infrastructure Team took the following actions after being
notified of the issue:
1. Lock down access to the compromised account
2. Take filesystem snapshots of all systems the account had access to
(pkgs.fedoraproject.org, fedorapeople.org)
3. Audit SSH, FAS, Git, and Koji logs from the time of compromise to the
present
Here, we found that the attacker did:
* Change the account's SSH key in FAS
* Login to fedorapeople.org
The attacker did not:
* Push any changes to the Fedora SCM or access pkgs.fedoraproject.org in
any way
* Generate a koji cert or perform any builds
* Push any package updates
Based on the results of our investigation so far, we do not believe that any
Fedora packages or other Fedora contributor accounts were affected by this
compromise.
While the user in question had the ability to commit to Fedora SCM, the
Infrastructure Team does not believe that the compromised account was used to
do this, or cause any builds or updates in the Fedora build system. The
Infrastructure Team believes that Fedora users are in no way threatened by this
security breach and we have found no evidence that the compromise extended
beyond this single account.
As always, Fedora packagers are recommended to regularly review commits to
their packages and report any suspicious activity that they notice.
Fedora contributors are strongly encouraged to choose a strong FAS password.
Contributors should *NOT* use their FAS password on any other websites or
user accounts. If you receive an email from FAS notifying you of changes to
your account that you did not make, please contact the Fedora Infrastructure
team immediately via admin(a)fedoraproject.org.
We are still performing a more in-depth investigation and security audit and we
will post again if there are any material changes to our understanding.

Welcome to Fedora Weekly News Issue 258[1] for the week ending January
12, 2010. What follows are some highlights from this issue.
We have a shorter issue this week as several teams are still ramping up
after the year-end break. In announcements, a call for input at Friday
Fedora Board IRC meeting, and development announcements for evolution
data server, gtk2, and a heads up that EPEL 6 will be moving to beta
soon. In Ambassador news, one new Ambassador this week, representing
Bangladesh. Also a summary of list traffic from both the Ambassadors and
FAMScO lists. Quality Assurance reports on Fedora 15 Test Days planning,
with the first test day scheduled at the end of January. Our issue wraps
up with details on the security-related packages released this past week
for Fedora 13 and 14. Enjoy!

---- Your input requested at the Fedora Board IRC meeting this Friday ----
Fedora Project Leader Jared K. Smith[1] announced[2] on Thu Jan 6
13:04:42 UTC 2011,
"Over the past few months, the Fedora Board has focused on coming up
with two or three overarching goals that can be accomplished over the
next few release cycles. We've got a fairly healthy list of goals at
this point, and welcome your input in helping us decide which two or
three goals are most important. The Fedora Board will be having its
bi-weekly IRC meeting this coming Friday, and we invite you to attend
that meeting and share your input with us. Instead of our normal
question and answer session, we'll instead focus on prioritizing our
list of goals.
The meeting is in the #fedora-board-meeting channel on the Freenode IRC
network at 2:00pm EST (19:00 UTC). In order to keep the meeting
organized and easy to follow, we ask that participants follow the
instructions in the "General Rules" section of [3]."

---- evolution-data-server (2.91.5) soname bump and library files
location changes in Rawhide ----
Milan Crha[1] announced [2] on Mon Jan 10 10:06:25 UTC 2011,
"with the recent evolution-data-server 2.91.5 release in Rawhide are
done some internal changes in the soname versions and a location where
the backend files for the addressbook and calendar should be saved.
From the commit log:
Change the installation path for E-D-S backends.
Address book and calendar backend modules are now split into different
installation directories so the D-Bus factory processes will only load
relevant backend modules.
This changes some pkg-config details for third-party backend modules.
Instead of querying the backend directory with: pkg-config
--variable=extensiondir evolution-data-server-1.2
you must query the directory for address book backends with: pkg-config
--variable=backenddir libedata-book-1.2
and the directory for calendar backends with: pkg-config
--variable=backenddir libedata-cal-1.2"

---- gtk2 2.99.0 ----
Matthias Clasen[1] on Mon Jan 10 20:00:33 UTC 2011 announced[2],
"I have just tagged gtk3-2.99.0 into rawhide. There are abi and api
changes, so all dependent packages will have to be rebuilt (the most
obvious change is that the libraries are now called libg[dt]k-3.0.so
instead of libg[gt]k-x11-3.0.so).
There are a number of api changes that I am not going to list one-by-one
here, the following changes are relevant for packagers:
* gtk-update-icon-cache-3.0 and gtk-builder-convert-3.0 have been
dropped (since they were identical to their un-suffixed cousins in the
gtk2 package). If you are using gtk-update-icon-cache in %post of a
gtk3-using package, you should add Requires(post):
/usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache (and similar for %postun).
* The .pc files no longer define a 'target' variable, instead there
is a 'targets' variable which can contain multiple gdk backend names
(for now, it is still just 'x11', eventually it might change to be 'x11
wayland' or so). Some configure scripts use that variable to detect the
platform they are running on and will need adjustment.
I have built most packages that had a gtk3 dependency already, and
tagged them into rawhide. The following are the leftovers:
* gtkmm30
* libindicator-gtk3
* tracker
* gedit
* gnome-color-manager
* gnome-nettool
* gtk-vnc2
* eekboard
* input-pad
* ibus-input-pad
* seahorse-plugins
* rhythmbox"

---- bodhi v0.7.10 production update ----
Luke Macken[1] on Mon Jan 10 23:46:02 UTC 2011 announced[2],
"I just pushed a new release of bodhi into production.
[3]
It's a minor release that contains a small number of fixes, including:
---- Backend bug fixes ----
* Don't try and remove the -pending koji tags when resuming a push
* Don't fetch security bug details when resuming a push
* Don't show obsolete critpath updates in our testing digest
* Ensure the updateinfo epoch is '0' as opposed to None (rel-eng#3971)
* Stop spamming proventesters with old critpath mails, as this data
is available in the updates-testing digests that go out with each push
---- Web frontend changes ----
* Fix the testing status tooltips for EPEL (#486)
* Add the update ID back to the search results (#558)
* Don't hide updates that are not approved by the security team
from the admin push view, since we no longer require approval
---- API changes (for AutoQA) ----
* Support querying and commenting on updates by the Update ID, as
well as title
---- Tool changes ----
* Make `bodhi --push-type` work for updates going to testing as
well as stable (rel-eng only)
* Add pkg_resources __requires__ hacks to get things working on F14
As always, please file tickets here:

---- New test case and package test plan creation SOPs in production:
call for test cases! ----
Adam Williamson[1] on Tue Jan 11 13:21:02 UTC 2011 announced[2],
"Hi, everyone. Thanks to everyone who sent feedback on the drafts for
the test case and package test plan creation SOPs. I have now put these
SOPs into production, at the following addresses:
[3] [4]
I have created links to them from other places in the QA wiki space. It
would be nice to have them called out from within the developers/package
maintainers space, but I'm not sure where would be appropriate: does
anyone have suggestions?
Now these are in production, it would be great if people could start
contributing test cases for packages, particularly test cases covering
critical path functions. If you maintain a critical path package, please
take a look at these two SOPs, and consider contributing test cases
covering at least the critical path functionality of your package; this
would help us greatly, and contribute to the improvement of critical
path testing by the proven testers. For the QA group, please also
consider contributing critical path test cases - you don't have to be a
maintainer of a package to do it! If you know how to test the critical
path functionality of a given package, please read the SOPs, write up
test case(s) to do it, and categorize them appropriately. Thanks a lot!"

--- EPEL6 moving from Beta to release status soon ---
Kevin Fenzi [1] on Tue Jan 11 21:33:21 UTC 2011 announced[2],
"Greetings.
Just a heads up that EPEL will soon be moving it's EPEL6 branch from the
Beta mode (like rawhide) that it's been in to a release mode (like
EPEL4/5 are). (I have cc'ed Fedora's devel-announce here as there may be
people not on the epel-devel list that might find this of interest).
---- Timeline: ----
2011-01-13 - Have any builds you wish done before release done. After
this point you will need to request a package be tagged into the stable
or testing repos or wait until bodhi is up for EPEL6.
2011-01-14 - EPEL rel-eng will work on composing and moving things
around. This may include untagging packages that have broken deps, or
moving them into testing, test composing, etc. Hopefully we can mirror
out trees.
2011-01-15 2011-01-16 - Maintainers encouraged to check new trees and
help with wiki prep, etc.
2011-01-17 - Bodhi will be enabled for EPEL6 and things will move to a
release mode: All packages spend 2 weeks in testing or +3 karma, bodhi
is used for updates, buildroot overrides are required as usual.
2011-01-18 - RELEASE DAY. Help with press release or announcements would
be welcome.
---- Work/help needed: ----
* Would be great if someone could make us a press release and had a
way to distribute it out.
* We need work on our wiki pages. A EPEL6 FAQ would be very nice.
* Maintainers need to determine what packages they want to ship for
EPEL6. If you do not want to ship whats there now, please untag it
before thursday.
Feel free to drop by #epel on freenode or drop an email to the [3]
Thanks for all the work folks, and enjoy EPEL6!"

--- Test Days ---
The Fedora 15 Test Day calendar is starting to take shape, and you can
see what events are planned so far on the Wiki page[1]. The first Test
Day slot is 2011-01-27. If you would like to propose a main track Test
Day for the Fedora 15 cycle, please contact the QA team via email or
IRC, or file a ticket in QA Trac[2]. This week, Adam Williamson
rescheduled the Graphics Test Week to late February and created the
pages for it[3]. Rui He proposed a preupgrade Test Day[4].

--- Test case management system proposal and requirements ---
Rui He continued to work on evaluating the possibility of a test case
management system (TCMS) for Fedora. There was some useful feedback on
the trac ticket[1] and Rui updated the Wiki page comparing the current
Wiki-based system with the Nitrate TCMS[2].
