Warning! I accidentally committed a change to release-notes devel pot
by Ville-Pekka Vainio 14 Apr '08

14 Apr '08

Hi, I'm really sorry, but while committing my fi.po I also accidentally committed a new version of release-notes.pot. That happened because I didn't specify fi.po in the commit command. I didn't revert the change to prevent any more damage from happening. Here's the diff compared to the previous, "correct", version: Index: release-notes.pot =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/docs/release-notes/devel/po/release-notes.pot,v retrieving revision 1.42 retrieving revision 1.43 diff -u -r1.42 -r1.43 --- release-notes.pot 9 Apr 2008 21:32:15 -0000 1.42 +++ release-notes.pot 13 Apr 2008 00:20:04 -0000 1.43 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ msgid "" msgstr "" "Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n" -"POT-Creation-Date: 2008-04-09 17:28-0400\n" +"POT-Creation-Date: 2008-04-13 02:54+0300\n" "PO-Revision-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n" "Last-Translator: FULL NAME <EMAIL@ADDRESS>\n" "Language-Team: LANGUAGE <LL(a)li.org>\n" @@ -1057,7 +1057,7 @@ msgstr "" #: en_US/Kernel.xml:19(para) -msgid "This section covers changes and important information regarding the 2.6.24 based kernel in Fedora 9.

Publican Mailing List
by Murray McAllister 11 Apr '08

11 Apr '08

Hi, Apologies for screwing this up. The new list name is publican-list(a)redhat.com. This should not affect anyone who has already signed up, and it appears the memberships carried over... publican-list is used to report the current version, upgrades and changes, bugs fixes, and for Publican discussions. Thanks for your support, and apologies for any confusion. If you have not already, please sign up here: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/publican-list Kind Regards, Murray. --------------------------------------------------------------------- pub 1024D/81B3FDEB 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18] Key fingerprint = 4ED9 9907 5BF0 4132 2B46 20D1 C0C6 362D 81B3 FDEB Murray McAllister (Fedora Docs Project / mdious) <murray.mcallister(a)gmail.com> sub 2048g/B04CFA0C 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18]

release notes schedule
by Murray McAllister 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

Hi, Looking at the schedule (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Schedule) it has "10 April F9 Preview Release", followed by a "FINAL" column. Following on, it has "6 April Wiki relnotes frozen, commute diffs to CVS" and "7 April POT files sent to L10N for translation ". Is this correct, or a typo? Thanks, Murray. --------------------------------------------------------------------- pub 1024D/81B3FDEB 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18] Key fingerprint = 4ED9 9907 5BF0 4132 2B46 20D1 C0C6 362D 81B3 FDEB Murray McAllister (Fedora Docs Project / mdious) <murray.mcallister(a)gmail.com> sub 2048g/B04CFA0C 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18]

One more change to Release Notes.
by Paul W. Frields 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

I heartily apologize for yet another change. This one adds two (2) very small untranslated strings, and was *required* to cope with a stupid license on a particular piece of Fedora software. That license still completely qualifies as free and open source software, but just has some really annoying terms we have to meet. The bulk of the text I had to include is wrapped in a CDATA container so you don't need to translate much other than a small title and a very short sentence. Again, very sorry. I will make every effort to change NOTHING else at this point. -- Paul W.

Late string
by Paul W. Frields 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

I have one new string we really should include in the Release Notes for F9 GA. I'm sorry to bring this in late -- I should have included it yesterday but missed the change from an email someone sent me. I've added it to the wiki PackageNotes beat, but it will add 1 untranslated string to the POT. Does anyone have very strong objections to the change? -- Paul W.

Infrastructure/AccountSystem page
by Paul W. Frields 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Easy wiki fixing is DESPERATELY needed for this page and the procedure shown there: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/AccountSystem This needs to reflect the true status of FAS2. This is something that any contributor here can do very easily. Once that page is done, we can have all other groups link to it for their join process. Until it's done, we have a *lot* of wrong information on the wiki that makes it look like the Fedora Project is very difficult to join. We've completely eliminated the need for GPG keys, and the SSH key isn't even needed unless you're going to do source code or websites work, or use fedorapeople.org. If anyone needs guidance on how to change, IRC Freenode #fedora-websites is probably the place to go. Anyone want to be responsible for fixing this page? -- Paul W.
