Fedora Security Spin QA Efforts
by Adam Miller 18 Feb '10

18 Feb '10

Hello all, This is mainly going out to those who are interested in the (hopefully) upcoming Security Spin. I want to establish some QA efforts as to provide a high quality experience to security professionals and hobbyists alike who are interested in the project. I would like to first do a break down of test cases for all the security-centric packages involved in the security spin as that is the "bread and butter" of the spin and are generally "niche" applications which require some sort of expertise or a slightly higher learning curve than your average web browser (just for example). Once that part is complete, I would also like to apply AdamW's Desktop Test Cases to it in order to get a higher level outlook of making sure that portion of the Spin is of high quality as well. Here is the current list of packages shipped with the Security Spin: https://fedorahosted.org/security-spin/wiki/availableApps if anyone is familiar with any of these apps it would be greatly appreciated if you could put together a short snippet or "how to" for basic use that can be used for a test case. Feel free to reply here to this thread and I can input them into the wiki or post your results here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SecuritySpin:QA_Brainstorm Many thanks to all, -AdamM -- http://maxamillion.googlepages.com --------------------------------------------------------- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Small clarification about the wording on the download links
by sankarshan 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

Hi, I was trying to download the LXDE spin (and, I guess it is the same for the other spins too) when I noticed that the phrase "6K Torrent File for 64-bit PC ISO" is following by the FAQ "How do I use this file?". The latter links to <http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f12/en-US/html/ch-new-users.htm…> which in fact is a next step towards properly using the torrent file to download the ISO. I was wondering if there was a need to put in a line about how to handle the torrent file and, thereon link to what to do with the downloaded ISO. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog>

I'll check the nightly builds to make sure, but I got an undersize build in my local testing after dropping alienarena.

Re: [Fedora-spins] No lzma sdk in fedora
by Bruno Wolff III 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

I did some testing of the dev squashfs and found it reduced the game spin size by 10%. (This was a nonfunctional spin, since the kernel wouldn't handle the lzma squashfs image.) mksquashfs uses multiple processors for both zlib and lzma compression. I made a spin using the dev squashfs using the default zlib compression and it worked. This suggests that we can get the dev version into F13 without needing to wait until kernel support and an enhanced livecd-creator are ready. I still don't think trying to change livecd-creator to add features this late is a good idea, but it might be OK to land it as an update after a 2.6.34 update has landed in F13.

Games spin status
by Bruno Wolff III 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

The recent gmime soname change is breaking builds right now making it difficult to do size testing. (There really should be an earlier freeze for soname bumps with dependencies than for leaf things.) Anyway, if it isn't cleared up by the alpha freeze, I'll make a guess and possibly do a tweak after freeze. The gmime issue should be an alpha blocker, since it should also be breaking the desktop spin, and hopefully should get fixed pretty quickly.

Fedora Ro Spin State?
by Sebastian Dziallas 07 Feb '10

07 Feb '10

Hi Adrian, we've been discussing the Fedora Ro Spin at today's Spins SIG meeting and some questions arose on whether this is intended to just live in the GIT repository or you're aiming at doing a full spin. Please reply to the Spins SIG's mailing list which I'm cc'ing here for further discussion. Thanks, --Sebastian
