Using espeak-ng instead of espeak in speech-dispatcher
by Ondřej Lysoněk 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hi, In Fedora 28, we're planning to start using espeak-ng as the default module for speech synthesis in speech-dispatcher, instead of espeak. Support for the espeak module is planned to be dropped entirely, however this should not have any negative impact on users, as espeak-ng is simply a continuation of the espeak project and is mostly compatible with espeak. Any necessary changes to the configuration will be taken care of by a scriptlet on upgrade. The change should be completely transparent to users. Also, no changes are necessary in any other packages. The reason for this change is the following. espeak, which is currently the default output module in speech-dispatcher, is not developed anymore, as the original developer is unreachable [1]. The espeak community created a new project based on the original espeak, called espeak-ng [2]. espeak-ng is largely compatible with the original espeak, and it is actively developed. So it makes sense to start using espeak-ng instead of espeak. If you have any concerns or questions about this change, please reach out to me.

Default suspend on live images?
by Adam Williamson 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hi folks! So, Fedora 28 has inherited an upstream GNOME change to default to suspending after 20 minutes: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681869 I believe this will also apply to live images, unless we suppress it. Should we suppress it? Suspending live images does not work well and is, I think, expressly not really 'supported'. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

GNOME 3.28.0 megaupdate
by Kalev Lember 12 Mar '18

12 Mar '18

Hi all, I'm wrangling the GNOME 3.28.0 builds in Fedora and the plan is to submit a single megaupdate with all of 3.28.0 builds into Bodhi. If you're helping with builds, please use 'fedpkg build --target f28-gnome' for F28 builds and I'll pick your build up when submitting the bodhi update later this week. Thanks, Kalev

2018-03-12 @ ** 16:00 ** UTC - Fedora 28 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson 11 Mar '18

11 Mar '18

# F28 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2018-03-12 # Time: ** 16:00 ** UTC # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net Hi folks! We have four proposed blockers and nine proposed freeze exceptions for Fedora 28 Beta, so let's have a review meeting tomorrow. Note that daylight savings time started in North America (mostly) today, so the meeting is now an hour earlier in UTC. If you changed your clocks forward today, the meeting will be at the same local time as before. If you did *not* change your clocks, the meeting will be an hour earlier than last week for you. If you have time today, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ . We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F28 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good day and see you tomorrow!
