F10 Beta release
by Paul W. Frields 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Great job with the release this morning, guys. I know there were some gremlins in a torrent or two, but overall very painless and you guys made it look easy (as always). Hurrah, another milestone on the path to Cambridge! If anyone has any issues, we could plant them on a page for the next release day planning group call. -- Paul W.

It sounds early to make > that call yet. But yeah, we should probably move F11. Yeah, just to be clear, if we don't slip beyond November 25 for GA, we shouldn't have to disturb the F12 schedule at all (at least not pre-emptively). > > * Rigorously enforce freezing in a way that maximizes our chances of > > turning out test releases on time. > > ...

We might want to involve James Laska in this thread as well. By the way, I don't know who-all's here on the rel-eng alias, but I am assuming that this is an open-sub list -- I'm sure I've visited the archives before so I know they're open. If I'm wrong, someone tell me so we can get this into the right open venue please. > > * Allow for the feature process for release N+1 to commence following > > the N Beta release.

Request for tagging itzam-core-2.1.1-1.fc[89] as dist-f[89]-override
by Martin Nagy 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

Hi, itzam-core was just recently added to Fedora and other package (messiggy, bug #461377) depends on it. It is now submitted as an update, but the process takes a while. To speed things up, I would like to request tagging of itzam-core-2.1.1-1.fc8 as dist-f8-override and itzam-core-2.1.1-1.fc9 as dist-f9-override so that I can build them ASAP. Thank you in advance. Regards, Martin Nagy

Removing pidgin-facebookchat package (replaced by purple-facebookchat)
by Matej Cepl 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

Hi, both me and Tom Callaway made independently package of the upstream pidgin-facebookchat (which is the name Tom used, I called it purple-facebookchat, because the upstream name is misleading). Tom released the package and agreed with me that my package should take over. I have bumped the release of my purple-facebookchat with proper Provides and Obsoletes, and commited dead.package as described on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/PackageEndOfLife to all branches (F-8, F-9, devel). Now, I should ask you to block the package from the appropriate collections in which it is retired, which I am doing just now. Thanks, Matěj Cepl -- http://www.ceplovi.cz/matej/blog/, Jabber: ceplma<at>jabber.cz GPG Finger: 89EF 4BC6 288A BF43 1BAB 25C3 E09F EF25 D964 84AC Nemo plus iuris ad alium transfere potest quam ipse habet.

by Tim Jackson 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

Due to a change in upstream license, php-manual-en (currently dead.package'd) is going to return to F9 and devel as per bug #419081. An updated version with good license is checked into CVS devel branch. Please can it be unblocked from koji and whatever else is necessary? Thanks Tim
