docs translation
by Luiz Rocha 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Is here the best place to talk about translation of documentation (developer's guide, documentor's guide) or is in the fedora-devel list? -- Luiz Rocha <lsdr(a)lsdr.net>

The fedora.redhat.com/projects/translations/ page is currently pointing to the fedora-devel list, Shouldn't it be pointing to the fedora-docs instead? -- Luiz Rocha <lsdr(a)lsdr.net>

grep DocBook *.xml in setting up emacs
by Gavin Henry 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, First post to this mailing list. Must say I am looking forward to the stable release of FC. Well, a bit about myself: 25 graduate engineer, from Aberdeen, Scotland. Constantly trying to study for my RHCE, but now everything has changed, don't know if I can afford an Enterprise copy, maybe just learn from the books what I can't else where. Setting up a linux support company in Aberdeen too, amonst over things. Anyway, I am trying to get emacs going for the docs project, but can't get past this bit: "Find the parent file for the group of DocBook files. You will recognize this file by the header <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.1//EN". An easy way to find this parent file is to use the command grep DocBook *.xml. Once you find the parent file, open it in Emacs with the command emacs <parentfile>.xml (where <parentfile>.xml is the parent file you found." I don't know where the parent file is or where to grep. Am I being stupid? Hope someone can put me straight. - -- Regards Trying to be a RHCE http://www.magicfx.co.uk http://www.suretecsystems.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/eI7UgNqd7Kng8UoRAqTOAJ0VfWK0JNMc6wY/oOb2hxtEVwpqaQCg58u8 s1UWRlqPKMMbED6euq80G2M= =Asb6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Anaconda customisation guide
by Paul Nasrat 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

This was brought up on fedora-test-list but never got moved. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2003-September/msg01401.html An anaconda guide is listed on http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/ already and I think it would be very worth while. I guess it'd be a good idea to brainstorm what should go in it. For those on anaconda-devel (I haven't been on it for a while), what are current FAQ's etc. There is probably a fair overlap with advanced kickstart usage. The common things I've done or thought about in no particular order are: 1) Incorporating updates into installer 2) Adding new kernel modules to an image 3) Adding new groups to comps.xml (maybe a nice way of editing it could be provided using pygtk and rhl.comps) 4) Adding new classes to the install (and making them fit in the gui) 5) Reskinning anaconda and the distro (what to replace) 6) Building a stripped down single CD install 7) Building a DVD Thoughts, comments, etc welcome.

25 Sep '03

And now, the Fedora Project presents.... We're tired, we're droopy We're all a little loopy A Fedora Core Test Release Is invading your PC! New features - interesting! The code could use some testing That's why we are requesting new bug reports quickly! On our ftp site is the place where you will see The stuff that we've been working on since 1993! We're tired, we're droopy We're all a little loopy It's a Fedora Core Test Release Come and join the fun! (And now our song is done.) Yes, it's an update of SEVERN, the Fedora Core test release. As always, test releases are not intended for use on production environments.

Problems with SEVERN should be reported via bugzilla, at: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/ Please report bugs against 'Fedora Core', release 'test2'. Technical note: There are some issues with the SMP kernel; on SMP machines after installation, you may need to boot the uniprocessor kernel for stability. We'll have a fixed kernel in the next day or three; please update as soon as one is available. For more information on just what the Fedora Project and Fedora Core is, please see: http://fedora.redhat.com/ For discussion of SEVERN, send mail to: fedora-test-list-request(a)redhat.com with subscribe in the subject line.

Developer and Documentation Guides
by Tammy Fox 22 Sep '03

22 Sep '03

The DocBook XML files for these guides are now in the fedora-docs module on the rhlinux.redhat.com CVS server. The instructions on http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/ are correct except that the module name is fedora-docs. I am getting the site updated. Cheers, Tammy

Fedora Project: Announcing New Direction
by Michael K. Johnson 22 Sep '03

22 Sep '03

Red Hat and Fedora Linux are pleased to announce an alignment of their mutually complementary core proficiencies leveraging them synergistically in the creation of the Fedora Project, a paradigm shift for Linux technology development and rolling early deployment models. We are <...> *thud* One two ... one two ... testing, is this thing on? Hello, this is, um, the Engineers speaking. We are still really excited about the project, but this time we have more than just dates. We hope fedora.redhat.com will answer lots of your questions, and are sure it will pose a few new ones. Why Fedora? Red Hat has a lot of experience in building solid dependable core distributions while the Fedora Linux Project has lots of experience in building effective infrastructure and policy to create many high quality add on packages. Both groups decided to merge the two projects and build outward using our shared experience, and to use the name "Fedora Project". We don't pretend the merge will be smooth or immediate, but we firmly believe that working with the Fedora Linux Project will get external projects and add-ons up and running better and faster than we could on our own and we are proud to be working with them. The Fedora Project is something special. It enables Red Hat and the community to work together to provide the community with rapid rolling releases and to get new technology into the hands of developers. With the solid establishment of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat now has a platform for predictable change and high quality support for customers, and for our ISV and IHV partners. Fedora is about the community, about cool new technologies, and extending existing Red Hat tools in a collaborative community. Our new up2date, for example, supports YUM and apt-get repositories. Fellow Fedorans, a new dawn is upon us, let us begin. Please note: The http://rhl.redhat.com/ web site has been renamed http://fedora.redhat.com/ and the mailing lists have all been renamed: rhl-list(a)redhat.com -> fedora-list(a)redhat.com rhl-beta-list(a)redhat.com -> fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com rhl-devel-list(a)redhat.com -> fedora-devel-list(a)redhat.com rhl-docs-list(a)redhat.com -> fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com Your subscriptions have been preserved, moved over to the new names for the lists. michaelkjohnson "He that composes himself is wiser than he that composes a book."
