SELinux smolt stats
by James Morris
It seems that the SELinux enablement stats are now online -- thanks!
I have a question about what the numbers mean. The current values are:
SELinux Enabled
False 185085 53.3 %
True 162262 46.7 %
for 347347 registered hosts.
Now, the "OS" column include several distros and versions, including FC5,
Centos5 through to current rawhide, with the same number of total hosts.
As the SELinux figures have only been collected since F8, does this mean
that we should calculate "total SELinux enabled" only for:
OS Hosts
F8 130282
F7.x (rawhide) 5517
F8.x (rawhide) 920
----------------------------
136719 (actually providing SELinux stats)
----------------------------
where the percentage enabled is actually thus at least 74% ?

PackageKit and default update strategy
by Robin Norwood
So, Jeremy helped me 'flip the switches' to turn PackageKit into the
default GUI package installer and updater for the F9 beta. Pup and
Pirut are still available, but not installed by default. There will no
doubt be bugs. There are some places where PK lacks functionality that
pirut/pup have.
Here's the current bug lust, please check it before you file.
http://tinyurl.com/3awtcp
Also, I thought it might be a good time to revisit the default update
strategy. Right now, gnome-packagekit provides an update icon similar
to puplet. The default configuration is to just notify the user that
updates are available. Some people have suggested applying security
updates automatically as the default configuration. I personally like
the idea, but I suspect that some people will not like this behavior as
the default.

xorg intel driver in rawhide
by Peter Robinson
Hi All,
Is anyone having interesting effects with the intel driver in rawhide?
I upgraded to rawhide the other day and I must say its awesome. Its
going to be another great release :-)
But the intel driver is a bit interesting. With compiz enabled I get a
crash quite regularly. X either restarts and puts me back to the login
prompt or locks the machine up (machine might be OK but I have no way
to remote access it via ssh to see). It seems that the crash mostly
happens when alt+tabbing between apps. I think that might be when most
of the cool effects happen (firefox running seems to make that more
regular).
It also seems some of the backlight stuff is a bit weird. It doesn't
seem to remember the settings any more. The increase doesn't work
until you hit decrease (which initially increases the brightness) and
then its OK.
Also when compiz is turned off (maybe with it on too but it won't run
long enough) I get a flicker every couple of minutes, sort of like a
slight timing issue, which while not a major issue as its still usable
it makes it annoying.
Anyone else seeing similar issues? BTW its a intel 945 chipset on a HP
Compaq nx7400.
Cheers,
Pete

strange behavior with rpmbuild -ts
by Neil Horman
Hey all-
I ran into a strange problem with rpmbuild on fedora 8 recently, and
wanted to know if anyone knew about it. I recently started a probject for a
fuse filesystem (http://feodrahosted.org/s3fs). I build my releases with a spec
file in the tarball, so that I can use rpmbuild -ts to generate a src.rpm
directly from said release. It works great, but every time I do this,
regardless of what permissions I have on the spec file in the tarball, rpmbuild
changes just the spec file permissions to be 0600. I wouldn't have noticed, if
it were not for an rpmlint warning complaining of strange permissions on the
spec file.
So is this something anyone else has seen? Is it a bug in rpmbuild? Or
that done intentionally for some reason there, and if so, is the rpmlint check
now out of date?
Thanks & Regards
Neil

Fedora 9 Beta slipped a few days
by Jesse Keating
In order to give time for mirrors to sync up the Fedora 9 Beta bits, and
to do some last minute testing, and to avoid releasing beta the day
before a Holiday for a large part of the world, we have decided to delay
the release of Fedora 9 Beta until Tuesday, March 25th.
However since we're confident in the Beta content, we will be unfreezing
rawhide today so that development can continue as planned.

Fedora 9 Beta, PackageKit and system-config-printer
by Sebastian Vahl
Hi.
As far as I've understood this, PackageKit (with gnome-packagekit for Gnome
and KDE) will be the default graphical package manager in the beta. For now,
system-config-printer with it's runtime
dependecy "/usr/bin/system-install-packages" (which is provided by pirut) is
in @base-x. So both, gnome-packagekit and pirut, would be on the live images
and also on a default installation from the DVD.
My question here is if this is intended?
