qt-4.4/kde-4.1 coming to cvs (F-10 branch)
by Rex Dieter
FYI,
The fedora KDE-SIG will be importing qt-4.4 and kde-4.1 (alpha1) into
cvs (devel, aka F-10 branch) soonish, so expect the ride to bumpy for a
bit while we work out the kinks and (probable) broken dependencies.

[Guidelines Change] Changes to the Packaging Guidelines
by Tom Callaway
Two changes have recently been made to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines.
Specifically:
The Fedora Packaging Guidelines have been updated to clarify the Static
Library packaging guidelines. For the clarified wording, see:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#StaticLibraries
Guidelines for packaging Sugar Activities are now in place, they live
at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SugarActivityGuidelines
(they are also referenced in the Packaging/Guidelines and
Packaging/NamingGuidelines)
Many thanks to Dennis Gilmore, and all of the members of the FPC and
FESCo,
for assisting in drafting, refining, and passing these guidelines.
A reminder: The Fedora Packaging Guidelines are living documents! If you
find something missing, incorrect, or in need of revision, you can
suggest a draft change. The procedure for this is documented here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Committee#GuidelineChangeProcedure
Thanks,

Extra branch noise
by Jesse Keating
Turns out about 200 packages didn't get branched for F-9 (and there was
no errors either, grr).
I'm doing those now, and instead of incurring another outage, we'll just
let the mail get noisy for a bit. Sorry bout this folks.

Number 9, number 9. Fedora 9 Preview has been cleared for takeoff!
by Jesse Keating
After some minor delays (like all rawhide flights grounded for a few
days of repair...), the Fedora Project is proud to announce the release
of Fedora 9 Preview!
This is a Preview release, it is fairly close to what the final product
will be like. This is the most critical release for the Fedora
community to use and test and report bugs on. This is the last major
public release before the final GOLD Fedora 9 release on May 13th (we
hope).
For this Preview release, we will be doing a staged offering. The first
stage, available now, will be via bittorrent. The second stage, which
should be available early next week, will be via our world wide
mirroring system, and will include jigdo.
Live images, KDE Live images, CDs and DVD options are available.
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org has a section marked "F9-Preview".
Please us bugzilla to report any problems you find (after making sure
that somebody else hasn't already reported the issues).
Thanks again for all the great testing work that the greater community
does throughout our development cycle! You make Fedora possible. You
are Fedora!

CVS Outage
by Jesse Keating
In order to mass branch packages for F-9, we are enacting an outage of
the CVS system. We sincerely apologize for not having any advanced
warning of this outage. Delays in Fedora 9 Preview release made the
scheduling of the mass branch uncertain.
There will be an outage starting at 2008-04-19 18:00 UTC. Initial
estimates show that 30 hours will be needed to complete the branching,
however this may drastically be reduced during the full run.
To convert UTC to your local time, take a look at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto
or run:
date -d '2008-04-19 18:00 UTC UTC'
Affected Services:
Fedora CVS
Unaffected Services:
Everything that is not Fedora CVS.
Reason for Outage:
Mass branch for F-9. We need to disable change mail and ACL lookups
to make the branching happen as fast as possible.
Contact Information:
Jesse Keating <jkeating(a)fedoraproject.org>
Please join #fedora-admin in irc.freenode.net or respond to this email
to track the status of this outage.
