Request: port syslinux isohybrid perl script to C
by Matt Domsch 16 Apr '10

16 Apr '10

I'll file a ticket once fedorahosted is back online. The request is to port the isohybrid script, in the syslinux package, from perl to C (and of course submit it upstream). This would let syslinux drop its dependency on perl, which would save considerable space. $ wc -l git/syslinux/utils/isohybrid.in 258 git/syslinux/utils/isohybrid.in As this is doing some simple structure unpacking and validation, and simple binary writes, this should be straightforward to implement in C. Thanks, Matt ----- Forwarded message from Peter Robinson <pbrobinson(a)gmail.com> ----- Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:08:06 +0100 From: Peter Robinson <pbrobinson(a)gmail.com> To: The Spin Special Interest Group mailing list <spins(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> Subject: Re: [Fedora-spins] Board SWG questions for Spins Owners [snip] I'd also like to see the removal of the requirement of perl (via perl scripts in syslinux) as it added about 10% to the F-12 test LiveCDs I did off Moblin. Anaconda uses a single of these scripts and only for the creation of hybrid boot cds (see bugs 544136 and 559644 ), This is also relevant for the Sugar on a Stick spin as well. Its the last dep remaining on perl in both those spins (and I suspect the desktop spins as well).

SIG status?
by Jon Stanley 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

[lots of folks BCC'ed] This is an email being sent to all SIG's that are listed on the SIG page on the wiki. I'm trying to find the individual that's the "leader" of the SIG in order to avoid spamming mailing lists, but sometimes, that's what is necessary. I'm writing on behalf of the Fedora Engineering Service, a new group within Fedora that acts on items submitted by FESCo that general volunteers are not likely to accomplish because either they are more administrative in nature, or there is a general disinterest in doing it, generally because it's seen as "boring". The task that I am now engaged in falls within that category :). As FESCo has responsibility for SIG oversight in Fedora, I'm supposed to figure out where each SIG stands in terms of their activities in Fedora. Specifically, we have a few questions that we'd like answered by each SIG leader: 1) Is your SIG still active? (if no, skip the remainder of the questions, unless you feel that it could be active again, if only for not having resources, etc) 2) Would your SIG be so kind as to provide monthly status reports to either FESCo or the 'devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org' mailing list? Think of this not as a bureaucratic measure being imposed on you, but more as what I call a "force multiplier" - a way to bring to the forefront of the larger Fedora community what your SIG is doing and why they might want to get involved in it. 3) Are there any resources that other teams in Fedora could provide (design work for something, marketing outreach, documentation people, IRC channel, mailing list - whatever you can think of, really) that would be beneficial to your SIG? Thanks for your time! -Jon, for FES NOTE - I'll be compiling responses in the publicly available FES ticket - https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-engineering-services/ticket/2 - let me know if you don't want that and would rather I shared the results with FESCo directly.

Broken deps

I've broken some of the broken deps out into groups since two deps (libcore and lib Magick) caused lots of broken deps: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-engineering-services/ticket/13 https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-engineering-services/ticket/14 Anyone particularly interested in working on them? Let me know. -Mike

Self-introduction
by Michel Alexandre Salim 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Hello all, My name is Michel Alexandre Salim; I'm currently a researcher at the university of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany, and a Fedora proven packager & sponsor. Looking to expand my Fedora work beyond packaging, and the one-off jobs that Fedora Engineering Services is contracting to do seems ideal (plus, at work I'd soon be concentrating on enterprise-level code, and so I'd need to do something on the side to keep my Unix knowledge up-to-date). Resumé posted here, as instructed: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Salimma/FESResume Looking forward to working with people on this list, -- Michel Alexandre Salim
