Summary: RELNOTES - Summarize the release note suggestion/content
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Platform: ppc64
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Priority: normal

The release notes stats that IBM pSeries machines, which has the POWER5
processors, are supported - great.
pSeries machines can be used in three ways:
1) Stand alone as a SMP machine.
2) Using Logical Partitions with physical resources like real SCSI disks and
Ethernet.
3) Using Logical Partitions with virtual resources like using ibmvscsi and
ibmveth drivers.
It is not clear in the release notes which modes are supported.
I have just tried virtual resources - failed with unable to read package
metadata, failure with a reference to repodata/comps.xml from anaconda Errno 256
I have just tried with physical resources - hangs loading a DAC960 driver, which
is a RAID SCSI card.
If you clarify which modes and hardware Fedora5 has been tested on, we might
avoid many frustrations in Fedora users.

Summary: RELNOTES - Info needed how to burn iso images to CD/DVD

In "Installation-Related Notes" there should be an examples on how to burn ISO
images to media using software available in previous FC releases.
For example:
To burn CD iso image ensure that you have "cdrecord" package installed (you
install cdrecord) and use a command like this:
# cdrecord -v -pad -eject -data FC-5-i386-disc1.iso
To burn DVD iso image ensure that you have "dvd+rw-tools" package installed (yum
install dvd+rw-tools) and use a command like this:
# growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=FC-5-i386-DVD.iso
Warning:
Do not use cdrecord to burn DVD+R media - this will probably not work:

Summary: RELNOTES - Better explanation of PostgreSQL upgrade

Actually the text is:
"Fedora Core 4 provided version 8.0 of PostgreSQL. If you upgrade an existing
Fedora system with a PostgreSQL database, you must upgrade the database to
access the data."
To me it's not clear that you have to back up _before_ upgrading. I'd rather prefer:
"The internal data storage format changed in respect to the version provided in
Fedora Core 4, PostgreSQL 8.0. Before upgrading an existing Fedora Core system
with a PostgreSQL database, you must back up the data and then restore it after
the upgrade."

The Fedora Legacy Project will provide updates for these releases as long as there is community interest. When interest is not sustained further, maintenance mode ends with the second test release for the third subsequent Core release. For example, maintenance mode for Fedora Core 4, if not sustained by the community, ends with the release of Fedora Core 7 test2. This provides an effective supported lifetime (Fedora Core plus Fedora Legacy Support) of about 18 months.

== Production Methods ==
Beat writers produce the release notes directly on the Fedora Project Wiki. They collaborate with other subject matter experts during the test release phase of Fedora Core to explain important changes and enhancements. The editorial team ensures consistency and quality of the finished beats, and ports the Wiki material to Doc``Book XML in a revision control repository. At this point, the team of translators produces other language versions of the release notes, and then they become available to the general public as part of Fedora Core. The publication team also makes them, and subsequent errata, available via the Web.

== Fedora Legacy - Community Maintenance Project ==
The Fedora Legacy Project is a community-supported open source project to extend the lifecycle of select "maintenance mode" Red Hat Linux and Fedora Core distributions. The Fedora Legacy Project works with the Linux community to provide security and critical bug fix errata packages. This work extends the effective lifetime of older distributions in environments where frequent upgrades are not possible or desirable. For more information about the Fedora Legacy Project, refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legacy.
