July 2009 - devel-announce - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by John Poelstra

We have reached and passed the Fedora 12 Feature Freeze milestone. All Fedora 12 features should be significantly complete and in a "testable" state. We need the help of several feature owners to bring their pages current or target them for Fedora 13. According to a review of all the feature pages, the following features have not been updated recently or are not 100% complete. Please update them no later than Wednesday, August 6, 2009. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ABRTF12 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DisplayPort https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Empathy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FedoraStudio https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GFS2ClusteredSamba https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Gnome2.28 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KVM_NIC_Hotplug https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KVM_qcow2_Performance https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KVM_Stable_Guest_ABI https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/libguestfs https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/LowerProcessCapabilities https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XI2 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/MoreNetworkManagerMobileBroadband https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FedoraMoblin https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NetBeans_6.7 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NetworkManagerSystemConnections https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NFSClientIPv6 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NFSv4Default https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Rakudo_Perl_6 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SR-IOV https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Thusnelda https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SystemtapTracingRefresh https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtioSerial https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtStorageManagement https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/YumLangpackPlugin If any of the features listed above remain in their current state, I will recommend that FESCo review and drop them from the Fedora 12 feature list at their August 7, 2009, meeting. If your feature is substantially complete and in a "testable state" for Fedora 12, please perform the following: 1) Update the % complete and "last updated" date 2) In the status section please also include what remains to be completed including your realistic assessment as to whether it is possible to complete by Final Freeze on 2009-09-22. If you believe your feature is NOT ready for Fedora 12, that is okay :) Fedora 13 is only a few short months away. If you would like to target your feature for Fedora 13:, please change the: 1) page category to "Cateogory:FeatureReadyForWranger" 2) "targeted release" to Fedora 13. If your feature will not be ready for Fedora 12 and you aren't sure what is going to happen to it: 1) Please change the category of your page to Category:FeaturePageIncomplete 2) Remove Fedora 12 as the targeted release. Thank you for your help, John p.s Individual feature owners have also been bcc on this email

Scripted mass rebuild has completed

by Jesse Keating

The scripted part of the mass rebuild has completed, including the tag requests to move things into dist-f12. They will be in buildroots very soon. Next we'll be investigating the build failures and working to resolve those. I'll post lists of things needing to be built and known failures soon. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

Brainstorming Session for Fedora Community 2.0 - Monday August 3, 2009 - 1500 UTC

by Tom Callaway

For those of you who haven't no idea what "Fedora Community" is, its our newest Fedora web application, providing a window into the Fedora distribution, and leveraging the power of Fedora's Account System, Bodhi, Bugzilla, Koji, and PackageDB into a single user-friendly website. It is built entirely with Free Software, such as Moksha and Turbogears 2. Fedora Community is designed to simplify Fedora workflows and bring transparency to Fedora processes: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/community What you see on that URL is our 1.0 milestone, but we already have lots of ideas on improvements and new functionality that we'd like to develop for our 2.0 release. So, we're going to have a public brainstorming session on Monday, August 3rd, 2009: * The session will be held at 1500 UTC (11 AM Eastern) (In addition, if there are enough interested international folks who cannot attend the session due to their timezone, please let me know, and we will try to schedule a future session that works for you) We're going to use a variety of ways to be involved: * IRC: #moksha on irc.freenode.net (we'll be watching and taking questions from the channel) * Gobby: We're going to keep our notes in Gobby, an open source collaboration tool. The name of our document is "Fedora Community Brainstorm", see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/GobbyHowTo for information on how to connect * Telephone: This is where we'll be doing the talking. US Toll-Free: 800-451-8679 Conference Code: 22717 79826 (If you need an international dial-in number, please email me with your country, and I may be able to provide it.) Please be kind and mute your line if you're not asking a question. If the noise on the call becomes unbearable, I will mute everyone. :) Questions about the meeting? Email me. Questions about Fedora Community 2.0? Come to the brainstorming session! Can't make it to the session and want to suggest something? Login to Gobby and add it to our notes before the session. Thanks, Tom "spot" Callaway, Fedora Community Cat Herder

Fedora Packaging Committee Seat Filled

by Tom Callaway

Thanks to everyone who applied for this open seat. We got a lot of very qualified individuals who were interested in filling the open seat on the Fedora Packaging Committee. After much discussion and thought, I've asked Jon Ciesla to fill the open seat and he has accepted. I'm sure that we will have additional openings on the FPC in the future, as people move on to other tasks, or get committed to various mental institutions. ;) Please feel free to throw your name in the ring for future openings! A few points that I felt might be worth making: * If you're not an active package maintainer in Fedora, it definitely hurts your chances of being on the FPC, as we're always looking for people who are intimately involved with Fedora packaging. * If you haven't done many Fedora Package Reviews, it's a great way to increase your visibility in the Fedora Packaging Community space, and also is a good way to show us that you have a solid understanding of the existing Fedora Packaging Guidelines. Plus, it helps us get new packages into Fedora! Thanks again to all who applied, ~spot

Final Call for Fedora 12 Features

by John Poelstra

Feature freeze for Fedora 12 is two days from now on 2009-07-28. Feature freeze is the last day to submit feature pages. If you are a feature owner or expect to see a particular feature listed for Fedora 12, PLEASE: 1) Review this page to make sure your feature is present: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/12/FeatureList 2) If you do not see your feature listed on the Fedora 12 feature list it may be waiting for FESCo to review it (only the Feature Wrangler adds features to this category). Please check: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:FeatureReadyForFesco If you don't see your feature page in either place, it is *NOT* being tracked for Fedora 12. Send the URL of your feature page to John Poelstra (before 2009-07-28) and he'll help you figure out why. Thanks, John

More changes to syncmail in CVS

by Jesse Keating

Today we discovered that CVS commits were still often having a 30 second delay that was unnecessary. Ricky discovered that we could pass an option to cvs in syncmail that would prevent adding a lock to do the diff. This seems to have removed the lock timeout, but please keep an eye out for any issues that this may create. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
