Head-up - new firefox in rawhide
by Martin Stransky 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi, a new firefox (3.6 beta 2) just hit rawhide (a.k.a f13). There are some changes which affect everyone who builds with xulrunner-devel-unstable package. Mozilla decided to merge all include directories to one (mozbz#398573) and stop shipping stable/unstable packages. So all headers/libraries are merged to one big xulrunner-devel package (with respective pkgconfig files) and xulrunner-devel-unstable has been removed. What does it mean for you? 1) Change xulrunner-devel-unstable to xulrunner-devel in spec. file BuildRequires. 2) Switch libxul-embedding-unstable.pc to libxul-embedding.pc or libxul-unstable.pc to libxul.pc in make/configure scripts. 3) Rebuild the package and report any problem to BZ. ma.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Red Hat Bugzilla 3.4 Upgrade Public Beta
by James Laska 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Greetings, I am sending this on behalf of Dave Lawrence and the bugzilla team at Red Hat. Fedora uses this instance of bugzilla too. Please forward this on to any appropriate lists that were missed. Thanks, James ========================== Greetings, The Red Hat Bugzilla team is happy to announce the first public beta release of the next version of Red Hat Bugzilla based on the upstream 3.4 code base. Please test drive at: https://partner-bugzilla.redhat.com Over the years Red Hat has made substantial customizations to Bugzilla to fit into the Engineering tool chain. Over time the upstream has incorporated some of these customizations or solved them in different ways. Upgrading reduces our customization footprint (and thus maintenance) while bringing many bug fixes & enhancements. The main area of focus for our public betas are stability. Functionality that currently works in our 3.2 code base should continue to work as expected in the new 3.4 release. These include various ajax optimizations, needinfo actor support, frontpage.cgi, product browser, several various UI enhancements, and of course the XMLRPC API. Please feel free to point your various scripts and third party applications that use the XMLRPC API at the test server to make sure they continue to function properly. There are numerous other changes behind the scenes that we haven't listed. The goal is to make sure that functionality that people have come to expect in 3.2 is possible in the new system. There are also numerous new features/fixes that are part of the upstream 3.4 release. For more detailed information on what has changed since the last release, check out the Release Notes page. The database is a recent snapshot of the live database so should be useful for testing to make sure the information is displayed properly and changeable. Also with a full snapshot it is possible to test for any performance related issues. Email has been disabled so that unnecessary spam is not sent out. So feel free to make changes to bugs to verify proper working order. We are asking for everyone to get involved as much as possible with testing and feedback on the beta releases to help us make this the most robust and stable release possible. Please file any enhancement requests or bug reports in our current Bugzilla system at bugzilla.redhat.com. File them under the Bugzilla product and relevant component with the version 3.4. With everyone's help we can make this a great release. Thanks The Red Hat Bugzilla Team _______________________________________________ Fedora-devel-announce mailing list Fedora-devel-announce(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-announce

Election Town Halls
by inode0 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Today we completed the 6 town halls for the Fedora Project Board, FESCo, and FAmSCo elections. If you weren't able to attend these you can access logs from each meeting from the main election page on the wiki. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections I'd like to thank all the candidates who chose to participate in one or more of the town halls. Without their cooperation our moderators would have been very lonely. I'd like to also thank Yaakov Nemoy, Toshio Kuratomi, Kevin Fenzi, Lars Delhage, Karsten Wade, and Paul Mellors for volunteering to do the sometimes exciting and sometimes not so exciting work as moderators of these events. Remember to vote! The schedule for voting has been slightly revised as described on the wiki but will begin on December 5 and run through at least December 15. Vote early though to help us minimize any impact our other activities might have. John

libtiff 3.9.2 pushed to rawhide
by Tom Lane 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

I have updated libtiff from 3.8.2 to 3.9.2. This is supposed to be an ABI-compatible update, so in theory nobody will notice. If you notice, please let me know. I plan to push this back into F-12 in a week or so if no problems are reported. There is a packaging change: the command-line tools such as tiff2pdf have been split into a separate subpackage libtiff-tools. regards, tom lane

hi, fast and easy, also disable audit: put SELINUX=disabled in /etc/sysconfig/selinux run chkconfig auditd off add to the kernel line selinux=0 audit=0 in /etc/grub.conf -- «Allá muevan feroz guerra, ciegos reyes por un palmo más de tierra; que yo aquí tengo por mío cuanto abarca el mar bravío, a quien nadie impuso leyes. Y no hay playa, sea cualquiera, ni bandera de esplendor, que no sienta mi derecho y dé pecho a mi valor.»

Thunderbird crashing while trying to send e-mail (apparently trouble while composing message)
by casimiro barreto 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Since November 29 I detected that thunderbird is crashing whenever I try to send e-mail. Bugzilla report filled (I see that several other users have had the same problem & also reported). But it appears in bugzilla as a "low priority" "medium severity" problem. Is it possible to retrofit thunderbird until a fix is devised? Best regards, CdAB

perl-5.10.1 update, modules rebuild
by Stepan Kasal 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hello, a big update of Perl in Fedora has just been kicked off. Small step for perl (5.10.0 -> 5.10.1) but big jump for Fedora: there will be significant changes in the packaging tied to this upgrade. Nonetheless, things are expected to just work; if not, contact me or file a bug. If you are interested, you can find more details below; otherwise, let me wish to enjoy perl-5.10.1. Two imporant changes are happening in Fedora at this opportunity: First, the @INC path will become much simpler. This change was first presented here http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.perl/9664 Second, "production" is going to be built. (Fedora 9--12 contains perl built with debugging support, which makes it slower. This was not intentional, perl's Configure script was being too smart.) Each of the changes breaks backward compatibility: Perl modules and applications built against libperl.so will no longer work after the change is fully implemented. To reflect this situation rpm-wise, the changes are tied to the version change: newly built packages will require perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.10.1), while the old ones require perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.10.0). To arrange for smooth transition, the first build(s) of perl 5.10.1 will contain backward compatibility aids so that it will still work in combination with old modules and libperl-linked packages. Consequently, this build will provide both perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.10.1) and perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.10.0). With this package in place, it will be possible to rebuild the dependent packages. When this rebuild will have been done, perl can be upgraded to a clean version, without the compatibility aids; that build will no longer provide perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.10.0). At this moment, we are at the begining of the rebuild, perl-5.10.1-101.fc13 is the build with compatibility aids. There is more than one way to break rawhide, Stepan Kasal
