There will be an outage starting at 2008-10-15 13:30 UTC, which will last approximately 1 hour. To convert UTC to your local time, take a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto or run: date -d '2008-10-15 13:30 UTC' Affected Services: Buildsystem Database Fedora Hosted Translation Services Websites Unaffected Services: DNS CVS / Source Control Fedora People Fedora Talk Mail Mirror System Torrent Ticket Link: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/911 Reason for Outage: Migrating to postgres 8.3. This should require minutes of outage time. We're going to do a dump, delete, update, import. Doing this one in the morning because its short, so we can monitor it during the day instead of have it fail at night, and so we don't interrupt any of the builds or mashes that would happen in the evening. Actual downtime should be about 5-10 minutes Contact Information: Please join #fedora-admin in irc.freenode.net or respond to this email to track the status of this outage.

Fedora 10 Snapshot 1 Released
by Jesse Keating 10 Oct '08

10 Oct '08

As part of our development schedule, we are releasing a snapshot of Rawhide in Live form. We are releasing these via bittorrent only as it is a much lighter weight method to get bits out the door than to go through our mirroring system. If you cannot use bittorrent we apologize for the inconvenience. http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ has a section marked F10-Snap1 with Live torrents. There are no install images at this time due to ongoing bugs with the installer. Please us bugzilla to report any problems you find (after making sure that somebody else hasn't already reported the issues). The Beta release notes ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/10/Beta/ReleaseNotes ) still mostly apply. Thanks for all the testing! -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

Uberpackager replaces packager
by Toshio Kuratomi 09 Oct '08

09 Oct '08

The transition from a single packager group to an entry level packager group that can only commit to packages that the person owns and a separate uberpackager group that can commit to everything has been made. At this point in time, people who are only in the packager group should be able to commit only to packages for which they explicitly have commit acls (owner or commit in Approved state in the packagedb). People in uberpackager should be able to commit to any package which is open to the uberpackager group. As part of the update, all packages which were previously opened to packager/cvsextras are now opened to uberpackager. This concludes all the steps needed for: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JesseKeating/NewMaintainerContainment The next step in the plan is written up here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JesseKeating/PackageACLOpening I'll let Casey Dahlin fill in a time frame for that and details on how to opt-out of the acl opening. -Toshio

Post-beta bugfix phase
by Jesse Keating 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

We're now entering our post-beta phase of Fedora 10 development. It is during this time that Feature development should be done with, and concentration should be put on bugfixing and polish. As the reports roll in from our Beta testers, please keep a mind toward stability with the changes you introduce to the Fedora tree. We now allow for early branching of your packages so that you can keep the Fedora 10 changes to a minimal and continue development of future software. After this week we will be doing weekly snapshot attempts of the distribution every Thursday/Friday. These will be in the form of Live images as well as traditional install images, when possible. Due to the amount of churn and the speed at which we need to make these available, they will likely only be available via bittorrent, although I will be looking into some limited mirror access. Targetting these snapshots for broader testing is a good idea, as it gives our users something to look forward to and test more seriously than the day to day rawhide, and it gives developers a good target. Lets all work together and bring Fedora 10 forward, making it a great release. Some important upcoming dates. Fri 2008-10-10: Documentation String Freeze Mon 2008-10-20: Documentation Translation Deadline (PO Files complete) Tue 2008-10-28: Final Development Freeze Thanks! -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

Fedora 10 early branch now available.
by Jesse Keating 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

For those of you that wish to separate Fedora 10 stabalization work from future development, we are now ready to process branch requests for F-10. If you branch your package early, builds from your new F-10 branch will continue to go to the Fedora 10 targets. dist-f10 for now, and eventually dist-f10-updates-candidate. Builds from devel/ will be sent to dist-f11 and will be held for the Fedora 11 rawhide once we get Fedora 10 out the door. To request a branch, please continue to use the cvsadmin request method: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CVSAdminProcedure -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
