Updating Anjuta and Glade -- need some help
by Debarshi Ray 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

I am looking for someone who will be kind enough to update Anjuta [1] and Glade3 [2] to 2.25.5 and 3.5.6 respectively in Rawhide. My desktop's motherboard has been damaged and it will take sometime to repair it and I am not in a position to update my laptop that runs on Fedora 9. Anjuta has now enabled its symbol-db plugin by default which would need libgda >= 3.99.8 and this should now be available in Rawhide. If you need anything else from me, please let me know. Thanks, Debarshi ---- [1] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/anjuta [2] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/glade3 [3] ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/anjuta/2.25/ [4] ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/glade3/3.5/

Alpha checkpoint
by Matthias Clasen 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

With the F11 alpha coming out in a few days, I think now is a good time to list a few things that we should look at for the desktop spin in F11: - Empathy. When we switched back to pidgin as the default im client late in the F10 cycle, we agreed to reevaluate empathy around the time of the F11 alpha, and see if the concerns that prevented it from being the default in F10 have been addressed. - Brasero. Upstream GNOME is moving towards replacing nautilus-cd-burner with brasero in 2.26 (following a move that some distros have already made). Some integration issues clearly still have to be worked out, but we should consider if we want to follow this in F11, or stay with nautilus-cd-burner for the time being. Even if we decided to do that, we'll have to look at possible conflicts if n-c-b and brasero are installed at the same time. - CD size. Jeremy informed me that the recent flurry of font packaging changes seem to have freed up a considerable amount of space on the desktop spin, to the point where we might even consider shipping OOo (sans langpacks, of course) instead of abiword. We should look at the various options for filling the space we have. Matthias

Sudo for first user
by Rahul Sundaram 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Hi You can add the following snippet to the fedora-desktop ks file into a init script to make sudo just work for the first user. It can't be added to %post since firstboot wouldn't have launched then. Let me know what you think: ----------------- # check for the first user and add it to user wheel and then to sudoers USER=$( grep 500 /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1 ) GROUPS=$( groups $USER ) if ! groups $USER | grep -q wheel ; then usermod -a -G wheel $USER sed -i 's/# %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL/ %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL/' /etc/sudoers fi EOF ------------ Rahul

I completely neglected to send you all email regarding the fact that FESCo will be reviewing your features today. However, better late than never. The meeting is in approximately 1 hour on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting. My apologies for not reaching out sooner.

Plymouth and re-branding
by Rahul Sundaram 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

Hi, During bootup, plymouth shows "Fedora 10" at the end of the progress bar half way through and replacing it, requires replacing fedora-release and rebuilding the initrd which doesn't work very well in a live cd. Details at http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fedora-spins/2008-December/000336.… It would be helpful for remixes if we could avoid branding. Do I file a bug report on that? Rahul
