fedora-packager
by Dennis Gilmore 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi All, I created a new hosted project at https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/fedora-packager/ with one simple goal. make it easy for people to setup a fedora package maintainer environment. Right now all that is currently in place is fedora-packager-setup.sh used to setup your certs and configs for koji and plague and a new script fedora-cvs that will checkout from cvs modules for you using your FAS account. Why am i telling you this? well for one fedora-packager-setup.sh is no longer in the koji package its in fedora-packager and two I want your help. Do you have a script that you find really useful to help you maintain your packages? want to share them? then please help make fedora-packager better. We also now have a new comps group fedora-packager. so there is two easy ways to get your development environment setup on a new box "yum groupinstall fedora-packager" and "yum install fedora-packager" both will do the same thing. then run fedora-packager-setup.sh and your on your way. Dennis

Beecrypt retired
by Tomas Mraz 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Nobody stepped up to maintain this crypto library which is no longer used by rpm or anything else in Fedora. So the next logical step is to retire this package from rawhide (dist-f9). I will do that tomorrow. -- Tomas Mraz No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone, turn back. Turkish proverb

ntfsprogs change in devel
by Tom Callaway 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

I bumped ntfsprogs in devel to 2.0.0, this comes with a corresponding soname bump. I didn't think that this affected any other packages, but apparently, at least one (testdisk) links to libntfs. So, this is your heads-up. :) ~spot
