Anybody? Is udev dead on Fedora Core 6?

is Miro (aka Democracy player) supported in Fedora ?
by Valent Turkovic
Is Miro (aka Democracy player) supported under Fedora?
I tried to install it but for weeks now it is not possible to install
it under Rawhide.
So I'm asking will Miro be supported in Fedora 8 - or if my question
it not precise enough - will I be able to 'yum install Miro' and
expect it to install and work?
Thank you.

Re: CHKFONTPATH depends on xfs (Was: chkconfig depens on xfs)

I get a different result on x86_64, so perhaps this is a bug?
# rpm -q --whatrequires chkfontpath

man page symlinks on symlinked binary
by Martin Marques
There was a discussion earlier today on the fedora-list related with the
fact that cdrecord doesn't have a man page. The person who made the
question didn't know that cdrecord is just a symlink to wodim, so that
man wodim would have given the man page he was looking for.
The thing is that the discussion started flipping towards why, if there
is a binary symlink, there isn't a man page symlink? This could, in the
case of cdrecord and wodim, or mkisofs and genisofs, end in bugtrack
tickets for those packages, but I am more interested in a general
solution, for all packages that have binary symlinks.
So, shouldn't there be something in respect of this issue in the
packaging policy?

Xulrunner in Fedora 8
by Jesse Keating
A xulrunner build appeared in Fedora 8 buildroot and was pushed out to
rawhide. This was a bit premature and as such we have untagged the
build. There is no older build, nor any new build to immediately fix
issues. Therefor xulrunner will not be available in buildroots and it
will disappear from rawhide until the issues surrounding it are
resolved (matching firefox build, ppc(64) support, no conflicting
files).

bodhi interface changes
by Luke Macken
Hey everyone,
I recently made some UI modifications to my bodhi development branch that, in my opinion, make things a bit more elegant, and remove a lot of unnecessary data.
http://lmacken.fedorapeople.org/before.png
http://lmacken.fedorapeople.org/after.png
So, with regard to the left side menu, I re-organized it by Release, instead of by update status. This not only makes things less redundant, but will also allow us to know exactly what release an update is getting pushed for in the New Update Form -- which will let us remove the release dropdown[0], and auto-complete *only* builds that *can* be pushed for that specific release.
Regarding the update list.. I removed the Release column and the status, because that can be implied by the title of the list. I also added a submitter column, because accountability is a good thing. With the pending screen, I added a Request column, so people can get a quick glance as to where the updates are going.
I wanted to run this by everyone, to avoid any OMGWTFREGRESSION!1 emails, and to see if anyone has any comments/suggestions/oppositions.

==== Other Discussions ====
KMods were briefly discussed. spot will be changing the guidelines to
reflect that FESCo issued a ban on new kmods, old kmods can remain for
F8 but will either be merged into the kernel or dropped for F9. The
issue of user-land tools that require the kernel module was brought up.
What to do with them was deferred until we know if the kmods in
question will be merged into the kernel or not.

Plan for tomorrows (20070920) FESCO meeting
by Brian Pepple
Hi,
Please find below the list of topics that are likely to come up in the
next FESCo meeting that is scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday at 17:00 UTC
in #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.org:
/topic FESCO-Meeting -- MISC -- revisiting status of features which we
gave a pass to go in post-feature freeze - jeremy
/topic FESCO-Meeting -- MISC -- transition plan for switching devel to
rawhide - warren
/topic Status Update: Compat Policy
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JeremyKatz/DraftCompatPackages - jeremy
/topic Status Update: FESCo Proposal Template - f13
/topic FESCo meeting -- Free discussion around Fedora
You want something to be discussed? Send a note to the list in reply to
this mail and I'll add it to the schedule (I can't promise we will get
to it tomorrow, but we'll most likely will if we don't run out of time).
You can also propose topics in the meeting while it is in the "Free
discussion around Fedora" phase.
If your name/nick is on above list please update the status on the
Extras schedule pages in the wiki ahead of the meeting. That way all the
other FESCo members and interested contributors know what up ahead of
the meeting. And we will avoid long delays in the meeting -- those often
arise if someone describes the recent happenings on a topic directly in
the meeting while all the others have to wait for his slow typing...
Thanks,
/B

Can Name=GenericName go away now, please?
by Rex Dieter
I posted similarly to fedora-desktop list, but I thought it may be worth
spreading this discussion to a wider audience.
In particular, can we/fedora consider using better menu names now, so
users know which apps are really behind some generic (and mysterious?)
items in menus(1).
I'm aware of the history that brought us to this point, and using the
generic items, but I think it's time to re-evaluate the decision,
especially in the context of fedora's various spins.
