With an unfortunate issue related to xorg-x11-drv-ati on AMD A10
7400P[1], I am unable to run Gnome on X session without "nomodeset"
parameter.
Current option is to use Gnome on Wayland which lead to an issue with
Touchpad. I don't know if the support of Touchpad is implemented within
libinput[2], I am unable to use it on0 ASUS X550ZE.
Granted there is workaround to emulate the touchpad as mouse, hopefully
libinput will allow the support out of box without thinkering.

Fedora 22 Alpha Release Announcement
====================================
The Fedora 22 Alpha release for the AARCH64 and POWER 64 secondary architectures
has arrived, with a preview of the latest free and open source technology under
development. Take a peek inside!
• Get Fedora 22 Alpha Server
https://getfedora.org/en/server/prerelease/
• https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/test/22_Alpha/Se…
What is the Alpha release?
==========================
The Alpha release contains all the exciting features of Fedora 22's
editions in a form that anyone can help test. This testing, guided by
the Fedora QA team, helps us target and identify bugs. When these bugs
are fixed, we make a Beta release available. A Beta release is
code-complete and bears a very strong resemblance to the third and
final release. The final release of Fedora 22 is expected in May.
We need your help to make Fedora 22 the best release yet, so please
take some time to download and try out the Alpha and make sure the
things that are important to you are working well. If you find a bug,
please report it – every bug you uncover is a chance to improve the
experience for millions of Fedora users worldwide.
Together, we can make Fedora 22 another rock-solid release. We have a
culture of coordinating new features and pushing fixes upstream as much
as feasible, and your feedback will help improve not only Fedora but
Linux and free software on the whole.
Fedora 22 Server
================
The Fedora 22 Server Edition brings several changes that will improve
Fedora for use as a server in your environment.
• Database Server Role: Fedora 21 introduced Rolekit, a daemon for
Linux systems that provides a stable D-Bus interface to manage
deployment of server roles. The Fedora 22 release adds onto that
work with a database server role based on PostgreSQL.
• Cockpit Updates: The Cockpit Web-based management application has
been updated to the latest upstream release which adds many new
features as well as a modular design for adding new functionality.
Issues and Details
==================
This is an Alpha release. As such, we expect that you may encounter
bugs or missing features. To report issues encountered during testing,
contact the Fedora QA team via the test mailing list or in #fedora-qa
on freenode.
As testing progresses, common issues are tracked on the Common F22 Bugs
page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F22_bugs
For tips on reporting a bug effectively, read "how to file a bug
report:" https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_file_a_bug_report
Release Schedule
================
The full release schedule is available on the Fedora wiki:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/22/Schedule
The current schedule calls for a beta release in the middle of April,
and a final release in the second half of May.
These dates are subject to change, pending any major bugs or issues
found during the development process.

I cannot think of anything in existing Fedora policy which would permit
that.
You can, of course, depend upon all of those packages and build what you
need at runtime. I believe some of the guestfs stuff works that way.

Generate the tarball or whatever image you need at runtime. When it's
needed. Not as part of the package build, because I can't see a way
that such a thing would be permitted under current Fedora policies. You
have runtime dependencies on all of the packages from which you need to
pull files, and you build whatever magic tarball you need directly from
the packages which are installed on the system.

Hi list, I'm working on packaging rocket for Fedora. There's a review request
open for it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1169966
There seem to be a few issues with it currently though, the major one being
using a non-distro-provided systemd (systemd v215):
- Building rocket involves creating a stage1 rootfs used by the 'rkt' binary,
and this includes building systemd v215. Right now this systemd branch is
cloned at buildtime. Since that won't work for koji, I'm talking to upstream
about including a copy of systemd v215 into the rocket repo.
- Upstream isn't a fan of bundling it either, and they're suggesting git
submodules for systemd, but again, that's probably not doable for koji.
** Conversation happening here: https://github.com/coreos/rocket/issues/686
Wondering if something similar has been encountered before? And possible
solutions?
