Web page for distro life cycle stage
by Shakthi Kannan 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

Hi, Is there a web-page or is it possible to have one that shows the Fedora distro release and its stage in the release cycle? For example, if a release such as Fedora 9, is not supported, one can have it shown with a red circle. If a release is in freeze, it can be in marked in an yellow circle, and when we can push packages to a release, it can be in a green circle, similar to traffic signal lights? While, we do receive e-mails on freeze updates, I thought it will be simpler to just check a web-page rather than having to go through mailing list archives? Suggestions welcome.

Boot from CD, safe changes to USB-Stick
by Ikem Krueger 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

You don't wanna change something on the harddisks, but wanna safe the changes. So you boot from Live-CD and the changes are redirected to the USB-Stick. Puppy Linux does it that way*. I wanna see it in Fedora. :D *http://puppylinux.com/development/howpuppyworks.html *http://puppylinux.com/development/pup2layers.png

CVS daily checkout seeds
by Quentin Armitage 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

The CVS daily checkout seeds at http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/webfiles/ don't contain a checkout for F-12. Would it be possible for someone to add that? I have also noted that a checkout seed for F-9 is still included, which seems somewhat superfluous. Many thanks, Quentin

rfkill
by Martin Dubuc 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

Addition of a working version of rfkill in Fedora 12 has been really welcomed. In my application, I would like to monitor the RF kill switch to detect when user enables/disables Wi-Fi on the system. I thought I could use the rfkill executable to do this, using "rfkill event", piping the output using popen in my process. However, rfkill outputs the events on standard output, but does not flush every time it reports an event. When I perform fgets to get the events, I get nothing. I am wondering if it would be possible to add a fflush on stdout when events are reported on stdout inside rfkill. Martin

Kernel using LZMA compression
by Ikem Krueger 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

As I know, the kernel is compressed with bzip2 or gzip. How about using LZMA instead? Or is that already the case?

A question about allow_unconfined_mmap_low in f11 amd selinux
by mike cloaked 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

For people running wine or Crossover and using MS Office 2003 and related codes it is necessary to do: # setsebool -P allow_unconfined_mmap_low 1 To prevent AVC denials. However there is recent publicity at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/03/linux_kernel_vulnerability/ which highlights that there is still a vulnerability in the kernel if this is set. For people running f11 with this boolean set how can one run wine and still remain secure? i.e. what should an admin do to protect the system?

Mesa 7.6.0 bugs
by Bojan Smojver 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

New mesa (7.6.0) is causing trouble for people using F-11/12 code (see bugs #524338 and #509528 for instance). Are there fixes available for these problems? Last time 7.6.0 packages were built was Sept 21, which is a month and a half ago and it seems that concerns from the above bugs are not being addressed. Is it too late to revert to 7.5.x, which used to work fine? -- Bojan
