Last day for bugfixes
by Jesse Keating 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

At the end of today (IE when I fall asleep) we will no longer be evaluating builds for release that aren't a critical release blocking bugfix. We will be using very strict means of determining what a release blocking issue is. This is the final stretch, my goals are to have a complete package set tomorrow morning for doing the final composes. Unless something goes horribly wrong, the final kernel build will be kernel-2.6.23.1-41.fc8 which is currently available in the buildroots. If you have software that builds against the kernel now would be the time to build it and alert rel-eng(a)fedoraproject.org so that we can tag those builds for the release. Thank you all for all your help making Werewolf be an awesome release! -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?

Potential changes to Fedora development cycle
by Jesse Keating 26 Oct '07

26 Oct '07

The release engineering team as put together a proposed set of development cycle changes [1] that could affect Fedora 9 development. This proposed set of changes has been reviewed on fedora-devel-list and other lists for a period of time and input has been incorporated as best it could. Now it's coming time for FESCo to vote on adopting the new development cycle. Since this has such far reaching implications we want to give you all enough heads up so that you can either prepare arguments ahead of time or show up for the FESCo meeting [2] and discuss it there. Thank you for your time.

by Jesse Keating 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

We've created the f9 comps based on the current f8 comps. This will be used once we switch rawhide over to composing from dist-f9. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?

cvs-import.sh change (import to branch in cwd)
by Jesse Keating 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

I've made a small change to cvs-import.sh to keep it more in line with the internal Red Hat version. When importing packages it will use the existence of a 'branch' file in your cwd to determine what branch to import to by default. This can still be overridden by -b. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?

Koji Garbage Collection
by Jesse Keating 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

We are about to roll out garbage collection for Koji. Please review the document linked below. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Koji/GarbageCollection As part of garbage collection, builds that are no longer needed will be deleted. The owner of the build will receive an email notification of the impending deletion and there is a grace period. To reduce the amount of email, multiple notifications to the same user will be combined into one message. If you receive such a notification, deleting the builds is most likely the right thing. If you feel differently, please see the document linked above for instructions. The initial collection of builds that can be deleted will happen tonight. Because there is an urgent need to free space on the Koji server, we will be shortening the grace period during the initial rollout. This means that you will need to act fast if you need to save a build that you receive a notification about. The first round of deletions will kick in late Friday evening. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?

Bodhi & Fedora 8 Updates
by Luke Macken 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

I just upgraded our Bodhi production instance, which will now allow you to enqueue your Fedora 8 Updates. http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org Some notable changes since the last update: • Updates will automatically get unpushed once they reach a karma of -3 • No more confusing legacy move/push terminology. Available update requests are 'testing' and 'stable'. • Unpushing/obsoleting is now instant. • ACL validation against the pkgdb for new update submissions. As always, please direct your bugs and enhancement requests here: https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/bodhi/newticket luke

If your package is missing an F-8 branch please mail rel-eng(a)fedoraproject.org and we'll look into it. Again, sorry for the extended outage.

We are Frozen for Fedora 8
by Jesse Keating 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

We've reached the final freeze phase. During this phase new builds are not automatically tagged for the release. Instead they are held as potential updates to Fedora 8. Exceptions do this should follow the policy as outlined at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/FinalFreezePolicy For schedule information, see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/Schedule To see if your build made the freeze cut off, see http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/builds?tagID=30 or simply call 'koji latest-pkg f8-final <pkgname>' -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?
