Fedora 12 early branch now available.
by Jesse Keating
For those of you that wish to separate Fedora 12 stabalization work from
future development, we are now ready to process branch requests for
F-12.
If you branch your package early, builds from your new F-12 branch will
continue to go to the Fedora 12 targets. dist-f12 for now, and
eventually dist-f12-updates-candidate. Builds from devel/ will be sent
to dist-f13 and will be held for the Fedora 13 rawhide once we get
Fedora 12 out the door.
To request a branch, please continue to use the cvsadmin request method:

Slip of Fedora 12 Alpha by one week
by Jesse Keating
Today in the release engineering meeting, it was decided to enact a one
week slip of the Fedora 12 Alpha release date. This is due to remaining
bugs on the F12Alpha tracker preventing creation of a release candidate
and preventing testing of proposed fixes. We expect to be able to
test/clear the list early this week, therefor only a week slip is needed
at this time. The new Alpha release date August 25th. As soon as we
have a successful Alpha compose we will lift the Alpha freeze and allow
rawhide to move forward.
We also agreed to adjust the final schedule based on Alpha slipping,
however we are deferring that discussion to a later date, once we've
successfully composed Fedora 12 Alpha. John Poelstra will send mail
regarding this later.

New facility to request tagging actions
by Jesse Keating
There is a new facility coming very soon to aid in requesting tag
actions of rel-eng. A new target will show up in dist-cvs make system
in the next day or so, called 'tag-request'.
This will function much like the 'update' target, it will prompt you to
edit a file to fill in the target and a description of your change. It
will use a cli tool (fedora-hosted) to file a ticket in the rel-eng trac
for you, and you should receive an email with the results of the filing.
Those of you out there that know a thing or two about makefiles, please
read the attached diff and keep me from committing something stupid.
Those of you that don't know anything about makefiles, avert your eyes
lest you be corrupted!

kde-4.3.0 coming to F-10, F-11
by Rex Dieter
The KDE SIG is now working on KDE-4.3.0-related builds for Fedora 10 and
11 candidate updates. As this requires some buildroot overrides, if your
package uses KDE libraries, it may inadvertently build against KDE 4.3.0
libraries and may, at least in some cases, NOT work with 4.2.4.
So please either hold off on update builds for packages using KDE
libraries or contact us (on the #fedora-kde IRC chan or the fedora-kde
mailing list).

Alpha Freeze is TODAY
by Jesse Keating
Sorry for the late warning, but today is the alpha freeze for Fedora 12.
Shortly I will be creating f12-alpha and cloning dist-f12 into it. I'll
keep it updated so that any build that happens up until tonight's
rawhide compose (0600 UTC) will make it into the alpha. After tonight,
you will need to request freeze tag overrides.
