(Got a shipping address?) We were testing mostly laptops and netbooks. We didn't test any OLPC devices to my knowledge, although I have a B1 and a C1 sitting on my desk right now :-) Richard.

Batteries and Suspend Test day summary
by Matthias Clasen 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

The 'Fit and Finish' test day about batteries and suspend took place yesterday. Thanks to everybody who came by and helped us find, fix and test things ! If you could not make it, our test cases are still available here: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-07-21_Fit_and_Finish:Batter… That page also contains the results of our yesterdays testing efforts, if you are interested. Amazingly, Richard fixed quite a few of the incoming bugs already, while the test day was still ongoing, and people were able to confirm that the fixes are working. Well done! I'll post the date an topic for our next 'Fit and Finish' test day in the next few days. Matthias

Some more livecd package set adjustments
by Matthias Clasen 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

I'd like to drop krb5-auth-dialog from the live cd. Some reasons: - It doesn't seem to be very relevant on the live cd - It recently started adding another entry to our already overlong preferences menu We should also not forget to drop gst-mixer again, but that can probably wait until Bastien lands his sound capplet enhancements. Comments ? Matthias

Desktop spin size update
by Matthias Clasen 19 Jul '09

19 Jul '09

A quick update on the size of the desktop spin: I have written a patch to split libgweather into a bazillion langpacks, you can see it here: http://people.redhat.com/mclasen/split-libgweather.patch http://people.redhat.com/mclasen/comps-libgweather.patch I am not entirely happy with this approach, but it certainly solves the size problem. An x86_64 iso that I build with that reduced libgweather came at 692M. What I don't like about it: - It creates some 80 new packages - Some langpacks don't have a matching lang support group in comps There is a number of other pending changes that should give us some space back: - drop libsexy: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509299 - drop ImageMagick: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472103 - drop esound-libs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492982 - drop some big unneeded files from packages: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512502 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463773 - complete the PolicyKit 1 ports and drop PolicyKit 0.9 - drop gst-mixer again - maybe drop krb5-auth-dialog Matthias

Champlain
by Debarshi Ray 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

I am going to update libchamplain from 0.2.9 to 0.3.3 in Fedora 11. This involves a change in the soname, but since no other package depends on it I hope it would not be a problem. On the plus side, the GtkChamplainEmbed widget which was earlier separately released has been merged into the libchamplain tarball and we can put in a subpackage. Not to mention that potential Champlain users and developers will find this helpful. What do you think? Happy hacking, Debarshi -- One reason that life is complex is that it has a real part and an imaginary part. -- Andrew Koenig

RE: The OpenOffice on Flash
by Hristo Petkov 14 Jul '09

Hi Guys, In my view it is not obligatory to 'copy and paste' of what in Ubuntu are doing. The Live CD may become for example Live DVD of the whole Desktop with check-boxes on initialisation what the user wants to install in this session. Regards

Update startup-notification to version 0.10
by Michal Nowak 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Awesome Window Manager [0] requires startup-notification of version 0.10 [1], I filled bug for it [3], however, no action was taken so far. Can some of you desktop folks bump the version, please? The only changes are that XCB support was merged and some code clean up was done [3]. Thanks, Michal -- [0] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=awesome [1] http://www.freedesktop.org/software/startup-notification/releases/ [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499517 [3] http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2009-January/010176.html
