nightly spins runs
by Kevin Fenzi
ok.
I took warrens script that he posted to fedora-devel and tweaked it up
to work on all the spins (not just desktop) and provide some more
output.
I can get it running daily on spin1, but I have some questions first:
- I assume we want to publish the logs so we can see trends and/or when
things don't compose. How many should we keep? They are pretty small,
so we might want to keep a lot to notice trends on size, etc.
- We have been talking about publishing weekly isos. Is there a
particular day we should try and publish from? Or should that be a
manual task as needed? (ie, before test days, or requests).
- Currently the output is a log file for each spin.arch from livecd
creator. Do we want any other output? A FAILS/WORKS of some kind?
- I think we can leave these images as branded from what I saw of the
Board recap. Would someone from the Board like to confirm?
- If we setup weekly isos over to alt or someplace, how many should we
keep there?
- When should the script run? It should be after rawhide, but is there
a way to tell when that has happened?
- Should we also be composing the kde and desktop spins? I would
suppose that would be ok, but are they really part of our SIG? should
we contact them and see if they want this?
Finally, the x86_64 electronics-lab doesn't compose here... it gets a
"CD labels are limited to 32 characters" error and exits.
Thoughts/feedback welcome.

Re: [Fedora-spins] LXDE Spin Approved

In Fact I was notified by the wiki. Thanks for approving my spin. Looks
like the SELinux issue will be fixed within the next one or two days, so
we can ship a first version of the LXDE spin with F12 Alpha.

Thanks for the flowers. ;)

New package(s) in rawhide
by Jeroen van Meeuwen
Hey,
the new packages are landing in rawhide today or tomorrow. The
kickstarts are now in packages that actually describe what they are exactly:
- fedora-kickstarts - the official kickstarts
- custom-kickstarts - the kickstarts of custom spins (rebranded, or
trademark approved but not part of the official release)
- l10n-kickstarts - localized versions of either
They are in the GIT repo, and will end up on the filesystem, with
custom/ and l10n/ subdirectories. I've modified the kickstarts to
reflect just that.
The custom/ sub-directory holds three symbolic links back to the
base.ks, the desktop.ks, and the kde.ks. They will end up in
/usr/share/spin-kickstarts/custom/ as well, so that custom kickstarts
can just use:
%include that-other-kickstart.ks
As they move from unapproved to approved, and from custom to official or
vice-versa.
Keep your eye out for anything out of the ordinary, please!
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Meeuwen

Weekly Rawhide Snapshots
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
I was interested in creating rawhide snapshots of Fedora Desktop Live CD
similar to the recent Xfce rawhide images and Kevin Fenzi and I agreed
that instead of creating and posting the regular rawhide snapshots in a
ad-hoc manner, it would be useful if we could get some space in alt.fp.o
and run it a semi automated fashion as part of Fedora infrastructure. A
scripted instance of livecd-creator that does this would fit the bill, I
think. Comments?

Security Spin Technical Review Request
by Adam Miller
I'd like to submit the Unofficial Security Spin concept on behalf of
both Luke Macken and myself. It was Luke's original idea and a large
amount of the work is to be attributed to him, I came into the project
late in the game and did some cleanup work to bring the kickstart up
to date to compose against current repositories as well as package and
add a couple of packages. As Luke is quite busy with many other
aspects of the Fedora Project I am the one submitting the work for
review.
Summary:
The Fedora Security Spin is geared towards the security and digital
forensics crowd with the goal of providing a fully functional livecd
based on Fedora for use in security auditing, forensics, and
penetration testing.
The Spin features a custom Openbox menu in order to group together
different tools for use by the end user based on category, which can
be seen from the screenshot on the page listed on the wiki page
(listed below).
