Tools to mount and promote Fedora on cybers.
by Álvaro Castillo
Hello buddies, I want get more information about Fedora and tools to help
on migration of cybers Windows into Fedora. But I only found old software
such as Cyborg (2003), or Fedora KIOS Spin unmaintained (I don't know why
was stopped maintain it).
Can help me, please?
Thank you so much!

Packages MUST NOT place files or directories in the /bin, /sbin, /lib or /lib64 directories
by Petr Pisar
I've just spotted usr-move has been completed.
<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines?rd=Packaging/Guidelin...>
states:
In addition, Fedora packages MUST NOT place files or directories in the
/bin, /sbin, /lib or /lib64 directories. Instead, the /usr/bin,
/usr/sbin, /usr/lib, and /usr/lib64 directories must be used.
Is that true?
Should I move /sbin/quotacheck and similar files to /usr/sbin?
Should I file bug against bash, glibc, and other packages? Or should
there be a list of exceptions?

F20 Self Contained Change: SDDM as the default KDE DM
by Jaroslav Reznik
= Proposed Self Contained Change: SDDM as the default KDE display manager
instead of KDM =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SDDMinsteadOfKDM
Change owner(s): Martin Briza <mbriza(a)redhat.com> and KDE SIG
Retire KDM as the default display manager of the KDE Fedora Spin in favor of
SDDM.
== Detailed description ==
As described in many articles and discussions, KDM is nearing its end of life
and it's time we decided upon the successor.
I'm proposing to switch to SDDM, which is a new project that suits our needs
perfectly despite its immaturity:
As of July 2013, KDM's maintenance consists of bugfixes for the most painful
bugs, consisting of only about 20 actual commits to the repository in last two
years (excluding translation, themes and merges), adding many new features
would require major changes to a lot of the code and there is no active
maintainer.
SDDM is written in C++11/Qt5 (compared to the bits of XDM in KDM), compilable
against Qt4, supports QtQuick theming and its upstream is quite active.
Compared to the current DM, KDM, it currently lacks a few features (such as
XDMCP) but adds some other ones (QtQuick themes) or is currently adding them
(Keyboard layout switching in the greeter).
== Scope ==
Proposal owners:
* Create sddm and sddm-kcm packages.
* Change kde-settings and the spin-kickstarts to provide SDDM package instead
of KDM
* (eventually) exclude KDM from the kde-workspace package
Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)

F20 Self Contained Change: Role based access control with libvirt
by Jaroslav Reznik
= Proposed Self Contained Change: Role based access control with libvirt =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Virt_ACLs
Change owner(s): Daniel P. Berrange <berrange(a)redhat.com>, Cole Robinson
<crobinso(a)redhat.com>
Allow role based access control with libvirt.
== Detailed description ==
Libvirt role based access control will allow fine grained access control like
'user FOO can only start/stop/pause vm BAR', but for all libvirt APIs and
objects.
== Scope ==
Proposal owners:
* 90% of the work is already in rawhide
* Documentation needs to be written
Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)

Re: F20 System Wide Change: No Default Syslog
by Eric Smith
I vote against this proposal as stated.
I want all the systems I administer to have a /var/log/messages
without any special configuration having to be done. I don't care
whether /var/log/messages is written by syslog or systemd journal, as
long as it has essentially the same text-based format as presently
provided by syslog, but having to take a manual step to configure
systemd journal to produce it is unacceptable.

Who uses abi-compliance-checker?
by Richard Shaw
I initially got abi-compliance-checker into Fedora because one of my
packages does not maintain any sort of API/ABI compatibility or even
versioning for that matter. That way I could always check a new release to
see if any of its dependencies needed to be rebuilt.
Since then, I've started using it for all of my libraries in the spirit of
"Trust but verify", and I've occasionally found issues even though upstream
didn't bump the soversion.
So out of curiosity, anyone else using this great tool?
If anyone is curious about it, I don't mind typing up the process I go
through to make the checks. I think I've found a pretty good path of least
resistance method :)
Thanks,
Richard

sox lpc10 license
by Frantisek Kluknavsky
Hi list,
package sox contains bundled lpc10 library. License of lpc10 is unknown
to me and unknown to sox upstream. Probably nobody (probably including
lpc10 authors) bothered too much about licensing.
My questions:
- Does anyone know its licensing status or original developers? Andy
J. Fingerhut, previously associated with wustl.edu?
- Does any package strictly require lpc10 functionality (linear
predictive voice coder)? Can I tear it out of sox?
repoquery --whatrequires --alldeps sox

dvd-slideshow
festival-freebsoft-utils
freewrl

mozplugger
openshot

reinteract

terminatorX
xwax
- Can the whole issue be ignored?
- Does Fedora contain other implementations of lpc10?
Thank you very much.
