Bodhi open for F-10
by Luke Macken 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

Last night I created the Fedora 10 release within bodhi, so you should now be able to enqueue your 0-day updates. You can submit updates for your dist-f10-updates-candidate builds using the web form[0], the command-line client[1], or by running `make update` in the CVS branch. As always, please file bodhi issues in trac[2]. Thanks, luke [0]: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/new [1]: https://fedorahosted.org/bodhi/wiki/CLI [2]: https://fedorahosted.org/bodhi/newticket

Cambridge (F-10) Preview Release announcement
by Jesse Keating 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

We've been cooking, and now it's time for a final taste test! The Fedora Project is proud to announce the availability of the Fedora 10 Preview Release. The Fedora 10 Preview Release is our last pre-release offering before we let everyone taste the goods for real. https://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease Doesn't it smell yummy? We know you can't resist, and we don't want you to. We want everyone in the Fedora community to take an early sample and tell us what you find. The recipe is pretty good, but now is the time to make it perfect. Ingredients include: * Faster boot using Plymouth * Wireless connection sharing * Better printing * Enhanced software update and maintenance, from RPM 4.6 to PackageKit * Virtualization storage * SecTool, security audit and intrusion detection system * Glitch free audio using timer-based scheduling And, since this is Fedora, we don't have anything to hide. Take a peek at what is in the not-so-secret sauce by looking at our Release Notes in the Fedora Project wiki. We use 100% pure free and open source software here, none of that high-fructose proprietary stuff. http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes Most of you should get a very tasty treat, but some of you might experience a little bitterness. Don't fret - all is not lost - there is still time to improve the recipe before we share it with the world. Head over to the Fedora Bugzilla (http://bugzilla.redhat.com) and let us know what offended your palate. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_file_a_bug_report File bugs here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=rawhide If you'd like to interact with the chefs more directly, join the live staff in the kitchen by coming to #fedora-qa on irc.freenode.net, or leave a message on the corkboard by the back door: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list Ready to get your free preview sample? Go ahead and swipe one straight from the oven - we don't mind. Put on your favorite heat resistant BitTorrent mitt and grab one of the following goodies. Take as many as you like. Thanks for tasting! https://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease P.S. Please remember that as we run a public mirror system, the mirrors for Fedora 10 Preview will not all be ready at this time, and may become overloaded as the day goes on. If you receive permission denied messages, please continue trying until you get through. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

CVS mass-branching coming soon
by Jesse Keating 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

On Thursday of this week we will be mass branching CVS for F-10. I realize that this is a bit late, however it is the earliest we are comfortable doing it given changes in pkgdb to facilitate the branching. There will be an outage of CVS during the actual branching due to disabling email delivery of cvs changes during the branching. We don't want any changes sneaking in during that time. This outage is scheduled to begin at 0300 UTC Friday Nov 7th. Unfortunately we do not have a good estimate as to how long the outage will last, however it should be much much quicker than previous outages for mass branching. If any plans change before now and then we will announce them, as well as announce a reminder just prior to the outage. Any questions can be asked on fedora-devel-list or #fedora-admin on Freenode IRC. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
