Anaconda modularization, install classes and addons
by Vendula Poncova 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

Hello, We would like to announce that we are moving forward with modularizing Anaconda, which is a separate effort from the overall Fedora modularization work. We have been talking about it for the last year, the general concept was introduced at [1] and now it is time to start with the implementation. What is Anaconda modularization? Anaconda will be split into several modules that will communicate over DBus. The goal is to introduce a stable way to interact with Anaconda to support its customization, extensibility and testability. It will be easier to monitor the installation, maintain an install class or an addon, drop some modules or provide your own UI. Will it affect your work? Let us know! If you maintain an Anaconda extension (install class, addon), please let us know. This is especially important if you depend on the latest Anaconda (rawhide, master branch). First, we would like to know how you use Anaconda in your extension. Second, we can help you keep your extension functional over the following months. Third, we can help you with the transition to the new Anaconda once it is stable and ready. Want to know more? You can follow our work on modularization on our blog [2] and GitHub [3]. We also have a mailing list [4] and the IRC channel #anaconda on freenode. Your feedback is always welcomed! Have a nice day, Vendy [1] https://rhinstaller.wordpress.com/2017/10/09/anaconda-modularisation/ [2] https://rhinstaller.wordpress.com/ [3] https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda [4] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list

x86 SIG / Dropping PAE support
by Jeff Backus 04 Nov '17

04 Nov '17

Hi List, I wanted to reach out to you to let you know that we have established an x86 SIG in an effort to help address x86-related issues in Fedora. To help keep track of such issues, we have two x86-related tracker bugs: * One for General x86-related issues: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1489998 * One for x86 ExcludeArch-related issues: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=179258 Please feel free to also reach out to us via the x86 mailing list(x86(a)lists.fedoraproject.org) or via the #fedora-x86 IRC channel. Also, I wanted to let you know that we have decided to drop PAE support. I believe the kernel team has already disabled it for F27. They pointed out that this may affect Anaconda as well. And that the Lorax templates may need to be updated? Thanks! jeff -- Jeff Backus jeff.backus(a)gmail.com http://github.com/jsbackus http://gitlab.com/jsbackus
