sendmail
by Ray Strode 25 Jul '13

25 Jul '13

Hi guys, I'm sure some of you have been following the fedora-devel-list discussion about removing sendmail from the @core comps group. After all the discussion, it ended up getting moved to @standard instead of removed completely (to be revisited in a later release). See https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-July/186796.html. Of course, @standard still gets pulled in to most of the spins, so that means sendmail will get pulled in out of the box for most spins still. We can fix it for the desktop spin, at least, so I've done that here for now: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spin-kickstarts.git/commit/?id=c79eede0d7… Of course, we can revert that change down the line when it finally gets moved out of @standard. Just a heads up! --Ray

phasing out gconf migration scripts
by Matthias Clasen 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

The bulk of the gconf->gsettings migration in GNOME application has happened in f15, when GNOME 3 was introduced. Since then, we've been installing .convert files in /usr/share/GConf/gsettings/ and running the gsettings-data-convert tool at every login. I think it is time to declare the migration done, and phase out those .convert files. I'd like to propose this as a goal for f20. Matthias
