Heads up: libcolord ABI bump coming up
by Richard Hughes 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

I'm about to release and build a new colord. This has all the pre-1.0.* deprecated functions in libcolord removed, and hence bumps ABI. The affected packages are: colord-gtk colorhug-client colorhug-tools control-center gnome-color-manager gnome-settings-daemon gtk3 simple-scan The DBus interface remains the same, so other projects that do not use the glib library need no action. I'll take care of rebuilding the above packages myself, unless anyone has any objections. Thanks, Richard

Hi, I've filed bug #983759 [1] concerning updating mingw-proj to the latest version and enabling the mingw64 package two weeks ago, but have received no response since. This is blocking my review request #984248 [2]. I've tried contacting adsllc directly via email, but have received no reply. fedora_active_user returns $ fedora_active_user.py --user adsllc FAS password for smani: Last login in FAS: adsllc 2013-03-26 Last action on koji: Fri, 11 Jan 2013 package list entry created: mingw32-proj in f18-final by ausil [still active] ERROR:pkgdb:list index out of range Does anyone know how to contact adsllc?

Orphaning Docky
by Lukas Zapletal 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hello all, although package Docky was lot of work for me (licensing patching etc) I am no longer using it and last two releases were very unstable. There are couple of bugzillas reported mainly because of gconf migration. """ Docky is an advanced shortcut bar that sits at the edges of your screen. It provides easy access to some of the files, folders and applications on your computer, displays which applications are currently running, holds windows in their minimized state and more. Docky is written in mono. http://wiki.go-docky.com """ Please ping me if you are interested to maintain the package. -- Later, Lukas "lzap" Zapletal #katello #systemengine

Relying on $PATH in RPM scriplets
by Lukas Zapletal 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hey, since we provide cloud images starting with Fedora 19, I noticed that cloud-init, which is used in these, does not execute user shell scripts with $PATH set properly which is causing issues for packages that does not provide full paths in scriplets. I know we have some examples which relies on $PATH set to at least /usr/bin and /sbin, for example: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:UsersAndGroups I am searching for page that says one can rely on the $PATH. Cannot find it. Thanks! -- Later, Lukas "lzap" Zapletal irc: lzap #theforeman

How to support new boards?
by Brendan Long 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

Is there a wiki page on supporting new boards? I have a BeagleBone Black that I'd prefer to use Fedora on, but the instructions on the wiki all seem to be about how to install pre-made images, not how to create new images. Is there instructions for how to do this anywhere?

F20 System Wide Change: Visible Cloud
by Jaroslav Reznik 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

= Proposed System Wide Change: Visible Cloud = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/VisibleCloud Change owner(s): Matthew Miller <mattdm at fedoraproject org> With Fedora 19's First Class Cloud Images feature [1], we have Amazon EC2 and downloadable cloud images (in qcow2 and raw.xz format) produced and released together with the traditional desktop installer and and livecd images. Now, let's go to the next level and present the cloud images as equal options. == Detailed description == This involves three key changes. They are not significant changes to other packages, but since this has implications for the distribution as a whole, I thought it best considered as bigger than a self-contained change. 1. Refactoring of the Fedora web site to put the cloud image on equal footing with the desktop image download. The new F19 cloud images page [2] is very nice thanks to the hard work of the web team, but unfortunately, in order to find it, one has to go down into the cellar, into a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying Beware of the Leopard. Let's put it on display in the metaphorical front lobby. 2. Creating specific release criteria and tests for basic cloud image functionality in, at least, Amazon EC2 and OpenStack. (Tests for smaller public cloud services could be added once those services gain the ability for us to provide official images directly. Tests for Eucalyptus and other IaaS software could be added as well.) 3. Building images in Koji using virtualization and Anaconda, rather than using a chroot-based appliance-creator. This will ensure that the cloud image is more in line with The Real Fedora. == Scope == Proposal owner: Coordination; working with web designers and documentation writers to develop the new presentation, working with QA to develop criteria and tests, and working with release engineering to land the changes to image building. I plan to be actively involved in all of these. Other developers: This will probably require a overhaul of the Get Fedora website, as that is current primarily focused on the desktop download. Release engineering: Yes, Jay Greguske, Andrew Thomas, and I are working on the improvements to the image build system and coordinating with Dennis Gilmore. Policies and guidelines: As noted, QA guidelines will need to be updated.

Does your application depend on, or report, free disk space? Re: F20 Self Contained Change: OS Installer Support for LVM Thin Provisioning
by Miloslav Trmač 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

Hello all, with thin provisioning available, the total and free space values reported by a filesystem do not necessarily mean that that much space is _actually_ available (the actual backing storage may be smaller, or shared with other filesystems). If your package reports disk space usage to users, and bases this on filesystem free space, please consider whether it might need to take LVM thin provisioning into account. The same applies if your package automatically allocates a certain proportion of the total or available space. A quick way to check whether your package is likely to be affected, is to look for statfs() or statvfs() calls in C, or the equivalent in your higher-level library / programming language. Mirek
