[Bug 752059] MajorMod: Manually Upgrading the Kernel: Update for GRUB 2
by Chris Murphy 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

Hi, First post to this list. I've offered various observations on devel@ and Fedora Forums on: general boot behavior, with emphasis on making dual and triple booting work on Macs; issues surrounding MBR and GPT partitioning schemes; and the lunatic asylum of (U)EFI, CSM-BIOS and BIOS mode booting of hardware. I see the bug is assigned, but no activity since Nov 2011. If agreeable, I can take on an edit for F16 which would also carry over to F17. The fix is very straightforward. As described in the bug, primarily it's removal of the bulk of existing text, because the current text is almost entirely obsoleted by GRUB2. And then documenting the proper command for the included GRUB2 script that causes the regeneration of a new grub.cfg. I'd expect the section to be cut in size and complexity by 80%, accounting for a mention of perhaps three optional custom configurations that admins may find useful. And probably also include some note to the effect that direct editing of the grub.cfg is not recommended by upstream, therefore advanced users who do edit the file are advised grub.cfg can be overwritten without notice, and are better off making their custom inclusions in the proper /etc/grub.d files, and then executing the regeneration script. Basically, start simple and general purpose, and then get to a few specific examples. And leave the rest to upstream documentation. A bit more complicated right now is bug 750108. It might be best to remove the current material, and reference Anaconda's option to configure this at install time as the absolute easiest way to deal with it. And reference upstream's documentation until someone gets around to writing a reasonable step by step for doing it post-install. Better than than obsolete material that won't work. Chris Murphy

Fwd: Is Fedora 17 Release Notes available?
by Kévin Raymond 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

FIRE!!! Yeah I know, I am boring, but hey, we just need to have the current status of the RN, if it needs few commits, we do them, if it is ready, we just push to transifex.net. There current problem could be: jjmcd is always dealing with RN. But if he is too busy, we need to finish by ourselves… Could someone check the RN status? If I have confirmation that they could be shared with translators, and if nobody could push them to transifex, I would be happy to do it myself and notice translators. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tiansworld <tiansworld(a)fedoraproject.org> Date: Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 2:18 PM Subject: Re: Is Fedora 17 Release Notes available?

FUDCON Malaysia Book
by Joshua Wulf 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

G'day folks, So we're going to "write a book at FUDCON". Participation in this crowd-sourcing experiment will not be limited people physically at FUDCON; anyone, anywhere on Earth with a FAS account and internet access will be able to participate. I want to make the book something as accessible as possible, as the main things here are to trial the approach and give people an opportunity to use the system. So something deeply technical like "Advanced SELinux Policy Writing Guide" is not a good candidate. So I'm thinking of a book along these lines: "Introducing Fedora" It contains user stories ("my first Fedora"), anecdotes ("the best and the worst"), use cases ("What I'm doing with Fedora"), a chapter on Downloading and Installing (with links to more detailed documentation), what to try ("cool things in Fedora"), and where to go for more information / help. What do you think? - Josh

I this is a DocBook/Publican option, there is a RFE against transifex for that.

Docs summary/update for L10n?
by Kévin Raymond 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

Hi there, Could someone please send a summary of all guides that we should translate for F17? (I could then forward to translators). The meetings#guide_status wiki page is not too explicit. The ready (beta) ones and the one that should be ready soon. A wiki link should do it, but that would be really appreciated to have docs member telling translators what is or will be up to date. As a translator coordinator and a docs member/publisher, even by reading (not all) meeting minutes, I have a hard time to know the guide status… I can't even imagine for other translators. The Beta release notes should be ready now, you agree? I don't know if you guys are aware of this last minute change, but the FESCo decided yesterday to drop the firewalld feature for F17, as it appear to be not ready. jjmcd, please update the release notes ;). Thanks all for your hard work, what is going to be set for FUDCon KL should be really great! -- Kévin Raymond (shaiton) GPG-Key: A5BCB3A2
