f14 Xfce spin size (redux)
by Kevin Fenzi
ok.
I poked some more at the spin and managed to get it back to under size
with dropping the following:
gnumeric (do people really need a spreadsheet on a live media?)
gimp (as pointed out, gimp is very cool, but it's not really something
people trying out Xfce need to use/see).
some aspell dicts
This takes us down to 695MB.
Thoughts?

F14 Beta RC3 images available for validation testing!
by Adam Williamson
Hi, everyone. Fedora 14 Beta RC3 images - that's the third (and
hopefully final) release candidate for F14 Beta - are now available for
testing here:
http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/14-Beta.RC3/
aside from anaconda fixes, the backgrounds are now present in LXDE and
XFCE, and LXDE initializes ConsoleKit correctly, fixing several major
issues. I've tested that each of these boots to a desktop successfully,
so they're not DOA, you won't be wasting your time to download them.
Please, if you have some time, help fill out the test matrix here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_14_Beta_RC3_Desktop
just click on a test name, follow the steps, and enter your result in
the table (there's a key explaining how to put the results in the
table). Even if someone else has done a test, you can add your result:
the table will handle this and we can have more confidence with many
results than with one. Even if you can only do one or two tests, it's
useful! We have to have the table filled out (at least with the Alpha
and Beta tests) to go ahead and release the Beta. The go/no-go meeting
is on Wednesday afternoon US time, so results need to be in by then for
the Beta. Thanks a lot, everyone!

Fedora 14 Beta RC2 (inc. live) available for desktop testing
by Adam Williamson
Hey, everyone. So, it's time for pre-release testing again!
I know this didn't work perfectly for Alpha, but I've got together with
releng and tightened up processes and it should be better for Beta. So:
right now, here:
http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/14-Beta.RC2/Live/
you will find live images for all of the desktop spins (KDE, XFCE, LXDE,
Desktop) for RC2 of Fedora 14 Beta. I have tested them, and all four at
least boot in a VM, so they're not completely broken like some of the
Alpha images :) I also tested KDE and Desktop on bare metal, and I think
Christoph has LXDE booted on bare metal right now, so we're pretty sure
these are working at a basic level. You won't be wasting a download :)
So with these spins we need to fill out these tables:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test
As you can see, I've made a start on this already, but there's many
tests to fill out. We absolutely need to fill out all the Alpha and Beta
tests for each spin. It would be great to also do the Final tests, as
this gives us a head start on identifying and fixing blocker issues for
the final release.
If people could do some of these tests over the next few days (by
Wednesday) that would be awesome. Also note that I'm running a session
at FUDCon Zurich this afternoon where we'll hopefully be able to get
together and fill out some of the table, so if you're at FUDCon, come
out to my session at 2pm :)

xfce spin size
by Kevin Fenzi
Currently we are over sized on the Xfce spin for f14:
xfce-i386-20100917.16.iso 17-Sep-2010 17:54 727M
xfce-x86_64-20100916.15.iso 16-Sep-2010 17:07 728M
So, we need about 30ish MB.
I can't see any easy thing to remove, so I am going to reluctantly
suggest we remove the java-1.6.0-openjdk* packages. :(
This means no java plugin out of the box on firefox (openjdk seems to
have issues with midori, so I wouldn't call it working there).
Any objections? Or other items people see for us to remove?
