koji cert renewal reminder
by Kevin Fenzi 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Greetings. This email is a reminder of some information around koji certs. - koji certs are good for 6 months, then you must get a new one. You should use the 'fedora-packager-setup' or 'fedora-cert' command line tools to do so, you can no longer use the web interface to download one directly. - You can check when your cert expires by running 'fedora-cert -v' - You can only have one valid cert at a time. If you need to use it on multiple machines you should copy that cert to them, if you get a new cert the previous one is automatically revoked. - Your cert is stored in ~/.fedora.cert kevin

Rawhide Bugzilla Rebase Warning
by Jaroslav Reznik 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Hi, as decided on yesterday's (2013-03-13) FESCo meeting [1], we are going to restart the Rawhide Bugzilla Rebase process [2]. Historically, it was tight to the Branch day, but to give you more time to adjust your bugs, it will happen no sooner than in one week from now - it means 2013-03-21. We will be automatically changing the version for most rawhide bugs to Fedora 19. This will result in regular bugs reported against rawhide during the Fedora 19 development cycle being changed to version '19' instead of their current assignment, 'rawhide'. This is to align with the branching of Fedora 19 from rawhide and to more accurately tell where in the lineage of releases the bug was last reported. As the process wasn't followed for several releases, more bugs than the Fedora 19 development cycle will be hit, but this will lead to Bugzilla cleanup once Fedora 19 will hit End of Life. Note that this procedure does not apply to bugs that are open for the 'Package Review' component or bugs that have the ''FutureFeature'' or ''Tracking'' keywords set. They will stay open as rawhide bugs indefinitely. If your Tracker bug does not contain ''Tracking'' keyword, please update it, so the bug is not accidentally closed. If you do not want your bugs changed to version '19', add the ''FutureFeature'' keyword. Please, let me know in case of any concerns/objections.

New Fedora openid provider (fas-openid) in service
by Kevin Fenzi 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Greetings. I'm happy to announce that we have moved our new OpenID identity provider (fas-openid) into production and it's ready for general use. OpenID allows you to use an existing identity (like a Fedora Project account) on sites or applications that support OpenID authentication. Fedora Project account holders can use this openid identity provider by specifying: username.id.fedoraproject.org on any OpenID enabled relying party application. (Where 'username' is your Fedora Account system login). More information is available at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenID Code for this provider (under GPLv2+) is available at: https://github.com/fedora-infra/fas-openid Please report any issues or problems to the Fedora infrastructure trac: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/newticket Many thanks to Patrick Uiterwijk for all the hard work on expanding and re implementing this service. kevin

by Jaroslav Reznik 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hi! As time flows really fast, we are getting closer to another important milestones for Fedora 19 [1] on 2013-03-12 (as agreed by FESCo): * Feature Freeze -- Planning & Development Ends * Branch Freeze -- Branch Fedora 19 from Rawhide Feature Freeze is in one week from now, please keep in mind that it's the time when your features has to be in *substantially complete and in a testable state!*. See the Feature Freeze policy [2]. Please update your feature pages - with the best percentage done "estimate" - 80%+ and last updated field (do not update Features List, it's automatically generated now). If you're *at risk* of not making the Feature Freeze, please update your feature page accordingly and let me know. The community can help a lot, communication is the key. For Branch Freeze Policy, take a look on [3] and also on the list of orphaned packages and packages that have failed to build since Fedora 17, as these are going to be blocked on Branch date [4]. The full Fedora 19 schedule moved to a new, program manager neutral place, see [5]. Please, let me know if you need any change in the schedule. Thanks Jaroslav [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/19/Schedule [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Feature_Freeze_Policy [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Branch_Freeze_Policy [4] http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-March/179338.html [5] http://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-19/
