FEL Update: September 15 2013
by Shakthi Kannan
Hi,
The FEL nightly composes have been failing because the LiveCD image
was not being created due to:
Error creating Live CD : Failed to build transaction :
rdesktop-1.8.0-1.fc20.x86_64 requires libgssglue.so.1()(64bit)
The rdesktop package was fixed, and LiveCD builds fine now. I have
increased the DVD capacity for FEL to over 8 GB, as it requires more
disk space. Hopefully, this should give us an alpha release to test.

Gpsim 0.27.0 release in Testing
by rrankin＠ihug.com.au
I am happy to announce that Gpsim 0.27.0 has been released. A summary
of the changes are below.
Currently the Fedora RPM packages have been build for rawhide, F20,
F19, F18 and should be on the mirrors in the next few days. F19 and
F18 will be in testing with a plan to push them when karma is reached
or testing time expires.

SDCC license issue
by rrankin＠ihug.com.au
A Fedora license issue has been reported against SDCC. The items in
/usr/share/sdcc/non-free are not compatible with the GPL license.
These are files derived from files obtained from Microchip relating to
the PIC processor family. Currently in testing is SDCC-3.3.0 for F19
which does not contain the above directory tree. This will be pushed
to stable after the waiting period is over unless a blocking issue is
reported. In the next few days I plan to take the same action for F18,
F20 and rawhide.
As I am not an active user of SDCC, I do not know the impact to PIC
users of doing this, but it is either what I have done or remove the
package from Fedora,
