Fedora 13 Release Candidate phase coming soon
by Jesse Keating 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

We will be entering the Release Candidate phase of Fedora 13 development in one week's time. What does this mean? It means that we will have hopefully reached a point where all known release blockers¹ have been fixed and we are read to compose the final release tree. The only changes accepted from this point on will be changes deemed important enough to delay the release should we not get them fixed in time. It also means we will be opening up bodhi for preparing 0-day updates for Fedora 13, changes which are not important enough to delay the release. This means that updates put into bodhi and marked as "stable" will go to the stable updates directory, not Fedora 13 itself. If you have a change that you feel is critical to the release, make sure your bug blocks F13Blocker so that it will get the attention of the release team. Builds that fix issues on the blocker will be hand picked into the release and will bypass the bodhi stable phase. This is the first time we'll be doing this phase of the development in the new No Frozen Rawhide style of development, so there are bound to be a few hiccups, and we are still drafting a wiki page to explain this phase of the development. Please bear with us as we work together to get Fedora 13 out the door. ¹) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=507681&hide_resolved=1 -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

Recent Bugzilla Comment Concerning Fedora 11 EOL
by John Poelstra 27 Apr '10

27 Apr '10

All open Fedora 11 bugs recently received a comment warning about the upcoming end of life for Fedora 11. This email serves as correction to part of that notification. Due to an error on my part this warning was sent out earlier than it should have been. The statement "Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11..." is incorrect. The end of life (EOL) for Fedora 11 will be June 18, 2010, which is thirty days after the release of Fedora 13, currently scheduled for May 18, 2010. When Fedora 11 reaches EOL at that time, bugs open for Fedora 11 will be closed as previously described. For more information on Fedora's policy for maintenance of our releases, please refer to: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle#Maintenance_Schedule My apologies for any inconvenience or confusion this error may have caused. John

Outage: Buildsystem/koji - 2010-04-25 14:30 UTC
by Mike McGrath 25 Apr '10

25 Apr '10

There was an outage starting at 2010-04-25 14:30 UTC, which lasted approximately 1 hour. To convert UTC to your local time, take a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto or run: date -d '2010-04-25 14:30 UTC' Reason for outage: db3, koji's primary database, was throwing read/write errors on it's underlying storage device. The RSA-II adapter was not showing anything was wrong. Not being able to log in I powercycled the host and it came back up on its own. We'll be keeping an eye on it.

Request for Comments: Fedora Project Contributor Agreement Draft (Replacement for Fedora Individual Contributor License Agreement)
by Tom Callaway 19 Apr '10

19 Apr '10

Hello Fedora! (Is this thing on?) Sorry for the very wide net, but we wanted to make sure as many members of our community could see this as possible. For some time now, Fedora has been working with Red Hat Legal to come up with a replacement for the Fedora Individual Contributor License Agreement (aka, the Fedora ICLA). As a result, the Fedora Project Contributor Agreement (FPCA) has been approved by Red Hat Legal, and is now being presented to the Fedora Community for comments and discussion. The full text of the FPCA, along with a FAQ, can be found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Revised_Fedora_CLA_Draft Please, take a moment and read the FPCA and the FAQ. It is not a long, or overly complicated document, as legal documents go, but it is important that all Fedora Contributors read it over and make sure they understand it and like it (or can at least agree to it). Fedora Legal wishes to give the Fedora community a window of time for discussion and review of the FPCA. This window is open until May 18, 2010 (2010-05-18). After that point, either a revised FPCA will be released for review, or we will begin the process of phasing in the FPCA and phasing out the Fedora ICLA. Thanks in advance, Tom "spot" Callaway, Fedora Legal P.S. Fedora Legal would like to give a huge thank you to the people involved behind the scenes to make the FPCA possible. The primary author was Richard Fontana, with feedback from Tom Callaway, Pamela Chestek, Paul Frields, and Robert Tiller. Feel free to give them gifts (for example, drinks or tasty snacks) as thank yous, although, this is not a requirement (legal or otherwise). ;)

Fedora 13 bodhi updates cleanup
by Bill Nottingham 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

We've had a couple of issues with F13 updates where multiple versions of a package had updates-testing requests filed in bodhi at once, causing the 'wrong' update to be pushed to final. Becuase of this, I'm going through and cleaning out some of the cases where we have multiple live test updates for a package so we don't run into this again. Apologies for any mails you get from bodhi about this. In the near future, we will re-enable the bodhi auto-obsoletes code so we won't hit this problem. You can also avoid the issue by making sure you unpush/delete older updates yourself when issuing new ones, or by just editing the older update and changing the package. Thanks for the understanding, Bill
