Reason for Outage:
Migrating to postgres 8.3. This should require minutes of outage time.
We're going to do a dump, delete, update, import. Doing this one in the
morning because its short, so we can monitor it during the day instead of
have it fail at night, and so we don't interrupt any of the builds or
mashes that would happen in the evening. Actual downtime should be about
5-10 minutes

Fedora 10 Snapshot 1 Released
by Jesse Keating
As part of our development schedule, we are releasing a snapshot of
Rawhide in Live form. We are releasing these via bittorrent
only as it is a much lighter weight method to get bits out the door than
to go through our mirroring system. If you cannot use bittorrent we
apologize for the inconvenience.
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ has a section marked
F10-Snap1 with Live torrents. There are no install images at this time
due to ongoing bugs with the installer.
Please us bugzilla to report any problems you find (after making sure
that somebody else hasn't already reported the issues). The Beta
release notes
( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/10/Beta/ReleaseNotes ) still
mostly apply.
Thanks for all the testing!

Uberpackager replaces packager
by Toshio Kuratomi
The transition from a single packager group to an entry level packager
group that can only commit to packages that the person owns and a
separate uberpackager group that can commit to everything has been made.
At this point in time, people who are only in the packager group
should be able to commit only to packages for which they explicitly have
commit acls (owner or commit in Approved state in the packagedb).
People in uberpackager should be able to commit to any package which is
open to the uberpackager group. As part of the update, all packages
which were previously opened to packager/cvsextras are now opened to
uberpackager.
This concludes all the steps needed for:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JesseKeating/NewMaintainerContainment
The next step in the plan is written up here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JesseKeating/PackageACLOpening
I'll let Casey Dahlin fill in a time frame for that and details on how
to opt-out of the acl opening.

Reason for Outage:
Doing our monthly updates to our systems, there's a kernel update this
time around and we'll be rebooting everything. In theory most systems
won't go down at all. But many will be down for a few minutes at a time
during our 2 hour outage window.

Post-beta bugfix phase
by Jesse Keating
We're now entering our post-beta phase of Fedora 10 development. It is
during this time that Feature development should be done with, and
concentration should be put on bugfixing and polish. As the reports
roll in from our Beta testers, please keep a mind toward stability with
the changes you introduce to the Fedora tree. We now allow for early
branching of your packages so that you can keep the Fedora 10 changes to
a minimal and continue development of future software.
After this week we will be doing weekly snapshot attempts of the
distribution every Thursday/Friday. These will be in the form of Live
images as well as traditional install images, when possible. Due to the
amount of churn and the speed at which we need to make these available,
they will likely only be available via bittorrent, although I will be
looking into some limited mirror access. Targetting these snapshots for
broader testing is a good idea, as it gives our users something to look
forward to and test more seriously than the day to day rawhide, and it
gives developers a good target.
Lets all work together and bring Fedora 10 forward, making it a great
release.
Some important upcoming dates.
Fri 2008-10-10: Documentation String Freeze
Mon 2008-10-20: Documentation Translation Deadline (PO Files complete)
Tue 2008-10-28: Final Development Freeze
Thanks!

Fedora 10 early branch now available.
by Jesse Keating
For those of you that wish to separate Fedora 10 stabalization work from
future development, we are now ready to process branch requests for
F-10.
If you branch your package early, builds from your new F-10 branch will
continue to go to the Fedora 10 targets. dist-f10 for now, and
eventually dist-f10-updates-candidate. Builds from devel/ will be sent
to dist-f11 and will be held for the Fedora 11 rawhide once we get
Fedora 10 out the door.
To request a branch, please continue to use the cvsadmin request method:
