Stalled Proposed Features for F9
by John Poelstra 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

Happy Holidays! The following feature pages are in CategoryProposedFedora9 which indicates that the feature owner is requesting that FESCo vote on them at the next meeting. I have not raised these features to FESCo for a vote because certain parts of the pages are incomplete and it doesn't make sense for FESCo to review a feature when all the information is not present. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureXULRunner http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureVolumeControl http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureRPMYumEnhancements http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NewGdm http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RandrSupport http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvops http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureFirefox3 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GCC4.3 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EFI More information can be found here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Dashboard I have contacted many of the feature owners individually. If pages remain in their present state by 2008-01-01 I will change their category to CategoryProposedFeature. Thanks, John

Rolling Koji builder outage
by Jesse Keating 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Over the next few hours we're going to have a rolling outage of the Koji builders. This is necessary to install a new kernel on them to resolve some build issues discovered after the refresh. First we will disable the host to be rebooted and allow it to complete any active jobs without taking on new ones. Then the host will be rebooted to the new kernel and re-enabled for taking new jobs. Users should expect some delay in build tasks, but no loss of jobs. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?

FUDCon -- considering switching Fri/Sat schedules
by Max Spevack 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

All, As we try to finalize the logistics for FUDCon, it looks like it will be a lot easier from a space point of view if we make the actual barcamp day Saturday (instead of Friday), and use Friday and Sunday for the Hackfests. I also think we can get a better turnout at bar camp if it is on Saturday. What we want to know is: does this totally mess up anyone's plans? None of the dates actually change, just the agenda a little bit. Let me know off-list. If there's no major concerns, we'll turn this from 'proposal' to 'official' on Monday and update the main barcamp page. Thanks, Max

Python Eggs & distutils in Rawhide
by Toshio Kuratomi 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

Just a small heads up for those of you packaging python modules. python-2.5.1-18, just built for rawhide, has reverted a small patch we were carrying that disabled generation of egg-info for modules created by distutils. That means that python modules built against rawhide will now create an extra file of metadata in the python_sitelib and python_sitearch directories. You'll need to include those in your %files section if it's not already pulled in via a wildcard. For more information on what these files give us, take a look at the Python Egg Guidelines on: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Python/Eggs -Toshio
