Fedora 9 Alpha delayed just a bit longer
by Jesse Keating
Due to some production issues, we're not going to be able to stage the
Alpha for mirrors in time for a Thursday release. Therefor we will be
delaying the release until Tuesday the 5th. We are not taking in new
builds, just giving the mirrors more time to sync up.

bodhi 0.4.10 features
by Luke Macken
Some noteworthy features with the latest bodhi update:
- Security updates now require approval from the security team before
they hit stable. They are still able to go into testing in the mean time.
- Compliance with the new Security Bug Tracking Policy[0].
- Bugs will get set to ON_QA when your update hits updates-testing.
- Bugs will [optionally] get closed as CURRENTRELEASE once they are stable.
- New updates will automatically obsolete any older updates that are
pending/testing.
- Checksums are no longer displayed in update notices (Ticket #262)
- Metrics improvements and enhancements. Added a 'packages with best
karma' graph.
- ...and many more bug fixes & enhancements.
As always, please send all patches, bug reports, suggestions, and criticism to:

Fedora 9 Alpha freeze tonight
by Jesse Keating
In roughly 4 hours we will snapshot the dist-f9 collection in Koji for
Fedora 9 alpha. The timing is such so that tomorrow's rawhide
(20080122) will be the same package set as the alpha. Our plan is to
test it up a bit and have a set of packages ready by Thursday/Friday.
We will be taking tag requests, but since this is Alpha, and since
rawhide will continue on unblocked we'd rather it be a pretty important
reason to do the tagging. We're mostly concentrating on being able to
install, and from there get updates.
Cheers all!

Unplanned system outage
by Jesse Keating
It appears that we have lost one of our Xen servers for reasons not yet
discovered. Systems affected seem to include bodhi, koji, account
system, and possibly others.
The reason for the outage is still being investigated, as well as
attempts to restore service. We're sorry for any inconvenience this
may cause. More announcements will be made as services come back
on-line.

rawhide broken dependency reports for today...
by Bill Nottingham
Please ignore them. There was a problem with the rawhide compose;
it managed to miss pulling in various pieces, leading to the dependency
chaos you see in the messages. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Fedora 8/ARM available
by Lennert Buytenhek
Hi all,
We are proud to announce the availability of a(n unofficial)
Fedora 8 package repository for the ARM architecture.
The package repository has been built for ARMv5 EABI, soft-float,
little endian. The majority of the important and frequently used
Fedora packages have been built for ARM.
The Fedora/ARM architecture wiki page has more info:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM
The easiest way to start using Fedora 8/ARM is to download the
prebuilt root filesystem, which can be booted in QEMU, or chroot'ed
into or booted from on any ARMv5 or later processor running in little
endian mode. Additional packages can be installed by using yum,
which is provided in the filesystem.
A HOWTO which describes getting Fedora/ARM running in QEMU is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/HowToQemu
There currently are a handful of known issues, which are described at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/TODO
Please help us by using the Fedora/ARM port and reporting any issues
you run into so that we can fix them.
thanks,
Lennert
