Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Fedora Project Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by JohnPoelstra: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/PackageNotes?action=diff&rev2=11... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The `yum` command now retries when it detects a lock. This function is useful if a daemon is checking for updates, or if you are running `yum` and one of its graphical frontends simultaneously. The `yum` command now understands a cost parameter in its configuration file, which is the relative cost of accessing a software repository. It is useful for weighing one software repository's packages as greater or less than any other. The cost parameter defaults to 1000. + FIXME: explain whether a higher or lower value gives a particular configuration file priority === Utility Packages ===

by fedorawiki-noreply＠fedoraproject.org

Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Fedora Project Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by KevinKofler: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Desktop?action=diff&rev2=96&rev1=95 The comment on the change is: KDE is now 3.5.8 in Rawhide (F8), also mention kdepim-enterprise ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ === KDE === - This release features [http://kde.org/announcements/announce-3.5.7.php KDE] [[GetVal(DocsDict,KDEVer)]]. + This release features [http://kde.org/announcements/announce-3.5.8.php KDE] [[GetVal(DocsDict,KDEVer)]]. In addition, the '''kdepim''' package has been updated to a version from the ''kdepim/enterprise'' branch, which includes many bugfixes and enhancements beyond the stock upstream '''kdepim'''. Fedora 8 does '''not''' include the KDE 4 Desktop because the currently available prerelease versions are not ready for daily use. It does include the KDE 4 Development Platform, which can be used to develop, build, and run KDE 4 applications within KDE 3 or any other desktop environment. See the ''Development'' section for more details about what is included.
