Fedora Email Addresses Changing!
by Mike McGrath
For those of you using first.last(a)fedoraproject.org please be advised
that starting February 1st we will no longer be allowing the
first.last(a)fedoraproject.org (This is due to technical and
syntactical issues). The username(a)fedoraproject.org email addresses
will work just fine.
If this will cause a huge issue to you please contact me off-list so
we can come to a satisfactory resolution.

Fedora 7 vs 6 installation
by Jerry Williams
I have been installing Fedora Core 6 on a few machines and I would like to
suggest some changes.
I should have been more involved with 6 and then maybe it would have been
better.
So I am trying to get involved with 7 in the hopes that it will happen.
I think my biggest complaint about the 6 install is the time it takes to do
the package dependency check and that you have to click okay to start the
install.
I would like to see maybe a check box to fix this.
That says: continue with install if everything it okay.
So you could check the box and walk away.
The other thing that kind of bugs me is the resolution that is used for the
display. The default seems way high.
I am thinking that it would be better to start with 800x600 or 1024x768 and
then let the user bump it up it they would like.
I have had a few systems that it was all I could do to get into it to change
the resolution.
Other things that would be nice.
Be able to enter domain suffix search list at same time entering name
servers.
I would prefer to select selinux and firewall config up front.
And enter ntp info with the name servers.
Far out wish list:
Be able to do a headless install.
Put DVD in drive and a floppy with config or usb flash drive and have system
boot and look for files on floppy or usb flash drive for the config or maybe
use some network protocol to get the config information it needs.
So it would lay out the drive and set network and time config and root
password and maybe second account and do a basic install that would allow
you to remotely connect and add other packages.
I have also thought about doing more of a 2 pass install.
With 6 you pretty much install everything then reboot and do a few final
things.
What happens if you make the first pass install very minimal and then have
the second pass do most of the work like updating packages.
Maybe you just get to chose KDE or Gnome and on the first pass.
I would also be nice to be able to clone a machine, maybe not totally, but
at least the packages. Like run some command to create a file and then be
able to provide that file to another system to be installed.
And maybe some of these things exist now and I just need to learn about
them.
Thanks for your time!

Fixing startup behavior of kde net apps
by Neal Becker
I'd like to add the following goal for fc7:
All apps that require net connection for startup should be modified to only
start if a network connection is available.
For example, when I login the following start:
kopete
kontact (kmail)
akregator
ksmarttray
If my net connection is not up, every one of these things pops up all kinds
of windows with error messages.
When I brought up this issue on the NM develop list, it was mentioned that
suse had modified this apps to fix this behavior. I don't know if they fed
the changes upstream.
I would guess that the right thing to do is to listen on dbus for network
connection being up?
In any case, the current behavior is awful and should be fixed.

plans for long term support releases?
by Thomas M Steenholdt
Now that Core and Extras are going to be merged and the distro is
opening up to become even more (?) community driven, has anyone played
with the though of eventually releasing a long term support version of
Fedora?
It could be a based on a staple snapshot of Fedora 7 + 4 months worth of
updates or whatever, at this point I'm more interested in hearing about
the idea than the details, which will surely follow, if i'm not the only
one who think this could be a good idea. Especially now that we're going
to do special server spins etc...
Just a thought (hope this was not brought up ages ago and I just missed it)

Name for a FESCo Successor? Suggestions anyone?
by Thorsten Leemhuis
Cross-posting to three lists, but follow-up set to fedora-devel, to not
have the discussion on 3 lists in parallel. But I'm sure mailman will
eat the manual follow up before sending the mail out again :-/ So please
adjust it manually and send your replies *only* to fedora-devel ;-) tia!
Hi all!
FESCo in its yesterday out-of-order meeting agreed to follow the
proposal I posted on fedora-advisory-board (
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2007-January/msg001...
) to merge the Core Cabal and FESCo into a new committee that handles
the day to day work around the stuff that was formally known as Fedora
Core and Fedora Extras. In other words: we integrate Jesse (aka f13) and
Bill (aka notting) into FESCo (Jeremy is already part of FESCo), merge
the responsibilities of both groups (and thus give it lot more to do).
The Fedora Board will probably discuss the proposal in todays meeting, too.
But one issue is still totally undecided and needs to be solved soon:
What do we call that FESCo and Core Cabal successor? The "E" in FESCo
until now stood for Extras, but soon Extras will vanish due to the
merge. So hat do we want to call it? Suggestions that came up:
FTC -- Fedora Technical Committee
FTT -- Fedora Technical Team
FET -- Fedora Engineering Team
FEDCo -- Fedora Distribution Committee
FESCo -- Fedora Steering Committee
42
None of the above name suggestions did receive a "yes, that's a really
great idea, I like it, all the people I asked love it, thus go for it"
from the people involved in the discussions. Thus with this mail we'd
like to ask the community for suggestions and its option: "Which of the
above names do you like most or do you have something better in mind
that sounds good, is not to easily confused with other stuff from this
world and roughly describes what the committee does?"
CU
thl
P.S.: For those that missed it, I'm not FESCo's chairmen any more (but
still a FESCo member) since last Thursday -- After doing the job for one
year I felt that it's time for me to hand it over to someone else with
fresh blood and new ideas. Brian Pepple is FESCo's interims chair now
and I'm sure he'll do a great job. Please help him as good as you can --
and always keep in mind: You don't have to be in FESCo or any other
committee to to help improving Fedora!
P.P.S.:Ohh, some backgrounds for the proposed names:
* FTC -- name clash with Federal Trade Commission. A bit bad, but seems
some people don't care much about that.

ensure upgrade paths through fedora to RHEL?
by Patrice Dumas
Hello,
As a substitute or a complement to something similar with fedora
legacy, it has more or less been suggested to allow for an upgrade path
to RHEL. Should we set this as an objective for fedora? It could
be something like ensuring that yum update can take you to the next
fedora release and then to the corresponding RHEL, without rebooting
(except for kernel upgrades, of course), or changing radically
configuration file. So, for example, FC6 users could upgrade to
RHEL5, and FC4 users could upgrade to FC5, then FC6,
then RHEL5. In such setting I don't think that we should ensure such
upgrade path for all the apps, only 'critical' apps, likely to be
usefull on servers, like network daemons, for example. Also we could
only do that for packages that are in RHEL+EPEL. This is currently not
supported, and not an explicit goal, although there are instructions
for the upgrade between FC versions:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq
>From reading this document, it appears that this kind of upgrade isn't
possible due to kernel incompatibilities between FC4 and FC5. In case
we want to ensure the upgradeability I was referring to, such situation
should be avoided.
Maybe this goal is too conflicting with other fedora goal, especially
being bleeding edge. The big constraint is that incompatible changes
which requires rebooting or changing configurations must all happen
between the fedora release preceding the RHEL release and the next
fedora release (in our case, all the incompatible changes should be done
between FC6 and FC7).
In any case I don't think we should support in any sense this kind of
things, but maybe we could have this as a goal, such that maintainers
have this issue in mind when they make their decisions. We could also
do some tests like EVR tests similar with what is currently done for
Fedora, but between the fedora version used as a base for RHEL and
RHEL (in our case between FC3 and RHEL4 and FC6 and RHEL5) to ensure
upgradability. And lastly we would then have to coordinate between the
maintainers working on the different distros, ie between fedora and
RHEL/EPEL maintainers (I guess they are more or less the same people,
but maybe there may be special cases).
Another thing is that I don't think this should be a short term goal.
In my opinion there is already enough to be done with the merge, EPEL
beginning and I guess people working on RHEL5 are busy, but maybe it
could be doable to begin to experiment with such idea (if it is not
immediatly rejected ;-) between RHEL5 and RHEL6 and try to make it happen
for RHEL7?

Updated Firefox 3 Roadmap
by Heiko Adams
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hello guys,
maybe you've noticed that the mozilla foundation has updates the
planings and the roadmap for firefox 3.
The most interesting fact is, that the release is scheduled at the third
quater 2007.
It would be interesting how this update affects the planing to provide a
firefox 3 rpm for fedora core 5 & 6 users.
Maybe we should think again about updating fedora's firefox to firefox 2
because afair support for firefox 1.5 ends at may 2007.
Regards,
Heiko Adams
