Question about Anaconda graphics for F16
by Máirín Duffy 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

Hi, So for the past couple of releases or so the Anaconda GUI (and Firstboot as well, I'm pretty sure) display at full screen size rather than stay limited to 800x600 px as they used to be. The gradient banner at the top of Anaconda looks odd because of this; it's not long enough to cover the full width of the window. Firstboot at least stretches out the left banner it has although this looks a bit pixelated (at least when I'm running it in debug mode now it does. :) ) I am wondering what options are possible then to get Anaconda's banner looking nice for F16. I poked around the anaconda.glade file; I think we have a couple of options but I'm not sure how to do one of them: OPTION #1: no gradient, left-align Fedora logo This would basically look the same as it did pre-full screen mode, but without the gradient. The glade file would have to be changed; the 'X Align' value on the image in the glade file should be changed from 0.5 to 0, and the 'X Pad' value should be set to something like '10'. OPTION #2: keep the gradient, but stretch it full screen. I don't know how to do this, but I know it's possible... create a container 105 px tall, and set the gradient as its background image with 'repeat' set. Then, place the Fedora logo in that container, aligned as explained above. I found some references to setting a widget/container background image in GTK+ here: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list/2007-April/msg00045.html http://www.scribd.com/doc/45906237/Pygtk2-Tut What do you think? ~m

[f16-branch] Write human readable timezone information to /etc/timezone.

lorax-treebuilder and f16 images
by Will Woods 06 Sep '11

06 Sep '11

So! I made a Feature-styled wiki pagelet to keep track of the plans for the treebuilder branch of lorax: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Features/Lorax-TreeBuilder Build/test instructions will be updated soonish, but there's a link to my draft build instructions there. I'll also be writing documentation on the template language in the near future. The important thing is this: I'd like to get us using treebuilder to build rawhide images ASAP - that means merging treebuilder into master. Is everyone OK with this? And that leads to a second question: what do we do for F16? I don't feel like treebuilder is ready for F16 yet, but the squashfs/dracut-based implementation in lorax's f16-branch is.. immature, and very different from the treebuilder one. So, should we: a) rush treebuilder for F16, b) keep lorax/anaconda images as-is for F16, even though we'll be changing it again in F17, or c) revert the squashfs stuff in f16-branch and build f15-style images again for F16? -w (note: I'll be on PTO until the end of the week, and Monday is Labor Day in the US, so I might not respond to this thread until Tuesday the 6th..)
