Final release announcement coordination
by Jaroslav Reznik 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

Hi all! As we're getting to pretty solid RC, it's again time for release announcement. Readiness meeting is on Thursday, would be nice to have a draft ready for review and final version next Monday, so text formatted and magazine versions can be prepared in advance. Workstation seems to be pretty covered, do we have any additions to Server and Cloud? The other thing is to get rid of all Beta strings. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F21_Final_release_announcement Thanks Joe for starting it and Paul for Workstation bit so far! We had the best Alpha/Beta announcements so far, let's continue with this high bar :). Jaroslav

Fedora 21 Final Release Candidate 4 (RC4) Available Now!
by Adam Williamson 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

NOTE: Signing of the RC4 tree is not yet complete, there are technical issues in releng preventing it working. To strictly be sure we're testing the right bits we should remember to check that the images we test match the signed checksum files once they're available, and of course you can carefully check the TLS certificate of the server when downloading the images. fedup tests may require the --nogpgcheck parameter until the signed .treeinfo file is available. releng will update and close the trac ticket when signing is complete. As per the Fedora 21 schedule [1], Fedora 21 Final Release Candidate 4 (RC4) is now available for testing. Note that RC3 never made it out of the compose process - releng made a small mistake so they started over, and it was easier to call the retry 'RC4' than clean up the failed attempt and call the retry 'RC3'. The only difference between RC4 and RC2 should be that the live images have correct fontconfig caches. Otherwise RC4 and RC2 should be effectively identical. There is no difference in their package sets, the fontconfig fix was done in the kickstarts. Existing RC2 test results will be considered valid for RC4 and transferred to the RC4 result pages, but from now on, please switch to testing the RC4 images. At present we're hopeful RC4 will be good enough for Final release, so please help us get through all the testing! Please see the following pages for download links (including delta ISOs) and testing instructions. Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide the fastest download, but download-ib01.fedoraproject.org is available as a mirror (with an approximately 1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To use it, just replace "dl" with "download-ib01" in the download URL.

Please don't cross-post to all of these lists for user questions. The server, cloud, and desktop sig mailing lists are primarily for development of Fedora in those areas.

As you guys are crafting improved notes, for better consistency, it would be great to write in present tense about the release.

Backup solution

Hi I'm new to Linux and unix-like systems, I need some advice on backup solution for file level and block level backups for file-level backups I found fsarchiver, dar, tar and for file-system-level fsarchiver, clonezilla/partclone and dd appropriate based on my requirements (data integrity and confidentiality, mount and single-file-restoration capabilities, btrfs and GPT support, ACL/Selinux preservation, xz compression) Advantage of tar and dd is that they are available every where but I'm mostly concerned about file integrity with tar and dd copies all unused blocks of file system too (fsarchiver or clonezilla/partclone will only copy file-system + MBR) I need some advice on Backup solutions, what is your personal methods and solutions? Any advice would be most welcome Thanks
