Worth a release note? I'm behind on f-docs-list so forgive me if you've
already covered this.

Hello rawhiders!
As of March 13, java-1.7.0-icedtea has been removed from Rawhide and
replaced with java-1.6.0-openjdk. This version should be better
compatible with upstream java.
Unfortunately, the package changeover doesn't happen by default for
people who already have IcedTea installed[1]. You can do this manually.
In most cases you'll just need to do:
yum erase java-1.7.0-icedtea{,-plugin}
yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk{,-plugin}
Hope that helps, and happy testing,
-w
[1] Normally this is handled by increasing the Epoch (if the packages
have the same name) or adding an Obsoletes: (if they don't).
In this case, the packages have different names (technically
"java-1.7.0-icedtea" is the name of the package, not "java") and we
don't really want to force the OpenJDK to replace IcedTea in *all* cases
where it's installed on someone's system.

Fedora 9 Preview Release notes ready for translation
by Karsten Wade
## Resending with a proper subject ;-D
The Fedora Documentation Project is pleased to deliver the POT file for
the Fedora 9 release notes. These release notes are going to be
delivered with the Fedora 9 Preview Release. This provides time for
bugfixes to the content and translations through the community review
process.
Access via Transifex:
https://translate.fedoraproject.org/submit/module/docs-release-notes
More instructions for other access methods are below[1].
This POT file is the largest untranslated/fuzzy file that Fedora
Documentation intends to deliver for the Fedora 9 release cycle. During
the rest of the release cycle the team will work to reduce workload for
translators. If you have any questions, contact us on fedora-docs-list:
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list
Definitely let us know if we are missing any of the steps in making the
files available for translators. We'll fix it right away! Stop by
#fedora-docs on irc.freenode.net or send an email back to this thread.
Thanks

fedora 9 release notes: building localized desktop RPMs
by Murray McAllister
Hi,
I know that you can build desktop RPMs using the existing tool chain,
but if I wanted to build the RPM using publican, would this be
possible?
Would I be able to just split up the existing pot file (since publican
uses a separate pot file for each xml file) into separate ones, so
that translators do not have to do their job twice?
Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
Murray.

For the release note people:
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard's KEYTABLE setting sets the keyboard layout for X as
well now. The XKB_VARIANT and XKB_OPTIONS variables can be used to set XKB
variant and option as well.

My directory structure looks as follows:

Is this anything to worry about before the preview release notes?
Thanks for your help. Please let me know if you need any more information.
