Fedora 12 early branch now available.
by Jesse Keating 28 Aug '09

28 Aug '09

For those of you that wish to separate Fedora 12 stabalization work from future development, we are now ready to process branch requests for F-12. If you branch your package early, builds from your new F-12 branch will continue to go to the Fedora 12 targets. dist-f12 for now, and eventually dist-f12-updates-candidate. Builds from devel/ will be sent to dist-f13 and will be held for the Fedora 13 rawhide once we get Fedora 12 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

Slip of Fedora 12 Alpha by one week
by Jesse Keating 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Today in the release engineering meeting, it was decided to enact a one week slip of the Fedora 12 Alpha release date. This is due to remaining bugs on the F12Alpha tracker preventing creation of a release candidate and preventing testing of proposed fixes. We expect to be able to test/clear the list early this week, therefor only a week slip is needed at this time. The new Alpha release date August 25th. As soon as we have a successful Alpha compose we will lift the Alpha freeze and allow rawhide to move forward. We also agreed to adjust the final schedule based on Alpha slipping, however we are deferring that discussion to a later date, once we've successfully composed Fedora 12 Alpha. John Poelstra will send mail regarding this later. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

New facility to request tagging actions
by Jesse Keating 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

There is a new facility coming very soon to aid in requesting tag actions of rel-eng. A new target will show up in dist-cvs make system in the next day or so, called 'tag-request'. This will function much like the 'update' target, it will prompt you to edit a file to fill in the target and a description of your change. It will use a cli tool (fedora-hosted) to file a ticket in the rel-eng trac for you, and you should receive an email with the results of the filing. Those of you out there that know a thing or two about makefiles, please read the attached diff and keep me from committing something stupid. Those of you that don't know anything about makefiles, avert your eyes lest you be corrupted! -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

kde-4.3.0 coming to F-10, F-11
by Rex Dieter 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

The KDE SIG is now working on KDE-4.3.0-related builds for Fedora 10 and 11 candidate updates. As this requires some buildroot overrides, if your package uses KDE libraries, it may inadvertently build against KDE 4.3.0 libraries and may, at least in some cases, NOT work with 4.2.4. So please either hold off on update builds for packages using KDE libraries or contact us (on the #fedora-kde IRC chan or the fedora-kde mailing list). -- Rex

Alpha Freeze is TODAY
by Jesse Keating 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Sorry for the late warning, but today is the alpha freeze for Fedora 12. Shortly I will be creating f12-alpha and cloning dist-f12 into it. I'll keep it updated so that any build that happens up until tonight's rawhide compose (0600 UTC) will make it into the alpha. After tonight, you will need to request freeze tag overrides. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Alpha_Freeze_Policy -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
