I mean what is that difference <mether> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines are not applicable to livna they allow proprietary or potentially patent encumbered components <chacha_chaudhry> okay <mether> also note that livna and other repos are getting merged into http://rpmfusion.org I am not involved in that effort but ask in their channels or mailing lists for more details <chacha_chaudhry> okay nice -- Rakesh Pandit

Hi, Thanks for all participating in the IRC session on packaging yesterday. I am thinking of doing a packaging walk through with new contributor(s) on coming Sunday on our regular timing at 6:30 PM. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/India/Meetings At the end of the session, you will have a package (that is not in the repository yet) that you can submit for review. Ankur? and others, if anyone is a completely new contributor and want to sign up to be a package maintainer and developer in Fedora, let me know.

Fwd: Looking for someone to pull / manage Games Spin for F-10
by Debarshi Ray 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede(a)hhs.nl> Date: 2008/7/31 Subject: Looking for someone to pull / manage Games Spin for F-10 To: Fedora Games <fedora-games-list(a)redhat.com> Cc: Development discussions related to Fedora Core <fedora-devel-list(a)redhat.com> Hi All, I know most of us (fedora-games-list subscribers) have grown from game packagers to contributors also doing more "serious" Fedora work. Still Games are fun and having good Games support in Fedora is important and I know we are all still working hard to keep our game packages in top notch state. Given that we have all these top notch state game packages its really a shame that we've not done a Games Spin for F-9, and we might miss the boat for F-10 too. So I'm looking for someone to pull and coordinate the efforts needed to get a Games Spin for F-10, as always I'm willing to help but: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterWebcamSupport Is taking almost all my time so I have no time to take the lead on this one, so any takers? The first task would be to fill in the details of: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GamesSpin And ask for the spin to be approved. Thanks & Regards, Hans -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

KDE 4.1
by Kishore Bhargava 30 Jul '08

Hi! All, Any idea when the Fedora repositories will pick up KDE 4.1? I don't want to mess with direct downloads, would prefer it if package-kit finds them on its own. Thanks. Cheers...Kishore --
