I did some last minute editing on the F13 Alpha release announcement and hope that it meets with people's approval: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F13_Alpha_release_announcement If I don't hear any big outcry, I'll remove the draft notice and we can proceed to using this text tomorrow! -- Paul W.

Commit email
by Paul W. Frields 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Something I had failed to predict about mailing commits to the list is there's no easy way to tell which commit is destined for which repository. :-) Perhaps we should settle on another procedure. So here's what I'd suggest, in cases where you're not authorized to push your commits to a repository (and don't want to wait for access to send your patch): 1. If there's a bug in Bugzilla for the problem, attach the commit there. Note that attaching a patch is not the same as just pasting it into a comment field. Use the 'Add an attachment' function instead to keep the bug easy to read. (The 'git format-patch HEAD^' command will make a nice patch file for you to attach.) 2. Add the 'Patch' keyword to the bug, which indicates a patch is attached to fix the problem. 3. If there's no bug for the problem, file one and then go to step 1. :-) What do you guys think? -- Paul W.
