Fedora binary DVD ISO BLOCKCOUNT Incorrect.
by Chris Steffen
webmaster(a)fedoraproject.org
I downloaded Fedora 19 from the mirror:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/19/Fedora/x86_64/iso/
I used isoinfo to determine the BLOCKSIZE and BLOCKCOUNT
and I used dd to read the DVD I burned with both specified and piped
it through an MD5SUM.
It does not match the iso file's MD5SUM.
If I don't specify the BLOCKCOUNT in the dd command, then the MD5SUMs
will match.
150 blocks are not included in the BLOCKCOUNT.
So the BLOCKCOUNT in the distributed iso file seems to be incorrect.
I am not sure if this is an error or a security issue.
Sincerely,
Chris Steffen

Make doesn't seem to make work
by Matthew Dittmer
Team,
I noticed that make only gives me a page with links instead of the
pages. Do you have advice on how I can fix this issue?
Thank you,

#210: Should we re-organize download pages?

Our actual download pages are still remanends from older methods of
shipping Fedora. We had 6 or 7 CDs, spins and some netinstall CDs, but now
the arches and formats are much more and we are creating confusion. This
leads to misunderstandings and we are also not able to promote all the
arches the right way.
Actually we have 4 download pages on fp.o:
* get-fedora
* get-fedora-options
* get-fedora-all
* get-prerelease
and we have also http://spins.fedoraproject.org
My thought would be to:
* Drop the get-fedora-all page completely
* Avoid any kind of duplicates, i.e. some spins (the major ones) are
available on 2 or 3 pages. All spins should reside on spins.fp.o!
* Use the get-fedora page to promote all the shipping methods
The clearest method to do so IMHO would be to drop also the right random
banners we have on the sidebar (Desktop, 2nd-arches, Cloud, Spins) and to
put them into the get-fedora page.\\
They should link to the tabs in get-fedora-options or to our spins page
and give users a clear idea of what is available.\\
Same for get-pre-release: it would be easy to promote on the get-fedora
page, and we could also advertise it better on our main page.
If I can find some time after F19 GA I could give it a try, but if you
have concerns or ideas please let me know and comment.

bad site in mirror manager
by danny berne
I created a site, bernenet, in mirror manager and it never showed up in my
sites. I've tried to recreate it, but it bounced saying it was already
there. I have used a new site name, but I'm afraid that I created an
orphaned record in your database.
sorry

#3796: remove _csrf_token from display URLs

Priority: major | Milestone: HANDWAVY-FUTURE
Component: Web Content | Version:
Severity: Normal | Keywords:

--------------------------+-----------------------------
= problem =
Several web-apps use a URL paramenter called _csrf_token to prevent CSRF
attacks. This token is shown in the URL location bar in browsers and makes
URLs ugly and might lead to people exposing their CSRF token in e-mails.
= analysis =
HTML5 allows to manipulate the contents of the URL location bar.
= enhancement recommendation =
Deploy JavaScript like
{{{
new_url = window.location.href.replace(/_csrf_token=[0-9a-f]{40}/,
"").replace(/(\?|&)$/, "");
history.replaceState({}, document.title, new_url);
}}}
to remove the CSRF token from URLs shown in Browsers.
This code might be adjusted to work in all browsers, but it works at least
in Firefox. Maybe a JavaScript expert can take a look. The only
disadvantage of this method is that going back in the history will reload
a page that requires to reload re-verify. But this might be solved by
storing the CSRF token in the history state. Also it does not seem to
cause really trouble.

by Janez Nemanič
Hi,
I replaced references to BitTorrent with Transmission and Deluge as we
discussed. I tested changes so everything should be OK. Have a look and let
me know if there are any errors.

Yes Máirín I agree too, there are also other things we can do to
improve the wiki's homepage.
The templates aren't on the websites repo, but we have more than one
wiki admin here who could look at it.

Yeah, that would be very nice. There are also other sites (apps) which
are developing fast and are very nice.
Badges, fedocal, nuancier and apps are only a few of them (more
community oriented). Perhaps we could think about including them when
starting this project.

Manpower would be appreciated here :)
