FWN: break for the holidays?
by Pascal Calarco 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

News team -- Those of us in North America and Europe will likely be taking some time away from work to be with family and have some rest and relaxation over Christmastime. I will be traveling and unavailable to work on the next FWN Dec.22 and so wanted to suggest that we at least skip next issue and perhaps the next two issues, returning Jan.5, 2011. What would you like to do? Thanks! - pascal

Contributing Writer: Pascal Calarco 1. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/ 2. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/ 3. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events --- Fedora Announcement News --- The announcement list is always exclusive for the Fedora Community. Please, visit the past announcements at[1] 1. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/announce ---- Changes to the Packaging Guidelines ---- Tom "spot" Callaway announced[1]: "Here are the latest set of changes to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines: A new page has been added which describes how to deal with bundled libraries when you find them in your package[2] Some clarification has been added to the sections dealing with bundled libraries, specifically that: In this RPM packaging context, the definition of the term 'library' includes: compiled third party source code resulting in shared or static linkable files, interpreted third party source code such as Python, PHP and others. At this time JavaScript intended to be served to a web browser is specifically exempted from this but this will likely change in the future[3] Also, a note was added to make it clear that multiple licensing scenarios may be a good indicator of a bundled library situation[4] A section has been added to the Packaging:Guidelines#Changelog entry describing the acceptable methods of having multiple changelog entries per release[5] A new example of a reason an exception for bundling libraries might be granted has been added to the guidelines. If the library is being bundled because it is a snapshot of a newer release of the library needed for new features, you may have grounds for an exception. See the complete policy for details on when an exception might be granted for this reasoning[6] Fedora has always implied that the update path from Fedora release to Fedora release and from Fedora release to updates should be maintained but there wasn't an explicit statement in the Guidelines. Well, there is now[7] The guidelines have been updated to indicate that %doc files must not have executable permissions[8] The section on Requiring Base Package was clarified, as the original language involving -libs packages may have been confusing[9] These guidelines (and changes) were approved by the Fedora Packaging Committee (FPC). Many thanks to Steven Garcia, Nils Philippsen, FESCo and all of the members of the FPC, for assisting in drafting, refining, and passing these guidelines. As a reminder: The Fedora Packaging Guidelines are living documents! If you find something missing, incorrect, or in need of revision, you can suggest a draft change. The procedure for this is documented here[10] Thanks, spot" 1. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2010-December/002898.html 2. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Treatment_Of_Bundled_Libraries 3. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Duplication_of_system_l… 4. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#Multiple_Licen… 5. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Multiple_Changelog_Entr… 6. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries#Needing_unrel… 7. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Package_Versioning 8. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Documentation 9. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Requiring_Base_Package 10. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Committee#GuidelineChangeProcedure --- Fedora Development News --- The development list[1] is intended to be a LOW TRAFFIC announce-only list for Fedora development. Acceptable Types of Announcements * Policy or process changes that affect developers. * Infrastructure changes that affect developers. * Tools changes that affect developers. * Schedule changes * Freeze reminders Unacceptable Types of Announcements * Periodic automated reports (violates the INFREQUENT rule) * Discussion * Anything else not mentioned above 1. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce ---- Call for Fedora 15 Test Days ---- Adam Williamson announced[1]: "Hi, everyone! I've already spoken to some developers with big features for F15 to arrange Test Days, but I just wanted to send out a general call to remind developers that the Test Day process is available for any big changes you have landing for F15 (or even little changes, we're not fussy :>). Test Days are testing events where we co-ordinate a set of test cases, and special test images if this is needed / helpful, and try to get a group of testers plus developers online on IRC around the same time to help do some well-organized testing with a short feedback loop between testers and developers. The QA group can organize the event for you (we just tell you when to show up on IRC), help you organize the event, or get out of the way and let you do it yourself - whatever you like. Here's how the schedule looks so far[2] It's quite pencil-y right now, so if you really want one of the already-taken days, we can probably arrange it. We can also run Test Days on days other than Thursday if necessary, but we try not to run too many in a single week, and stick to Thursdays when we can as it's quite a convenient day. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Here's the Test Day SOP, which tells you how to put a test day together[3]" 1. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2010-December/00073… 2. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Fedora_15_test_days 3. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management --- Fedora Events --- Fedora events are the exclusive and source of marketing, learning and meeting all the fellow community people around you.

Cross This week Mel Chua opened with a reflection[1] about launching software and openness, pointing to an interesting article. Pascal Calarco shared what we have gathered with the Fedora Weekly News Readers Survey[2] Robyn Bergeron[3] pointed to an article comparing Ubuntu vs. Fedora. What started a debate with Misha Shnurapet[4] stating that will be a great idea to take user data in the installation process and skip post installation. Sergey Podushkin[5] pointed that is feasible. Stephen John Smoogen[6] pointed that post install procedure is something that people asked for. Sergey[7] expressed that should be end user option. Paul W. Frields[8] commented that there is need in the microbloging operations due a change in HootSuite. Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier[9] make the need of teams controlling a single feed and feature request for StatusNet. Jan Wildeboer[10] offered BrdcstIt as a AGPLv3 solution. As any other Tuesday, Marketing meeting took place and minutes are available to the public[11] 1. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013627.html 2. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013626.html 3. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013629.html 4. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013630.html 5. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013632.html 6. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013634.html 7. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013635.html 8. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013637.html 9. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013639.html 10. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013638.html 11. http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2010-12-14/fedora_marketi… -- Fedora In the News -- In this section, we cover news from the trade press and elsewhere that is re-posted to the Fedora Marketing list[1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing Contributing Writer: Pascal Calarco 1. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/ --- Jackass IT: Stunts, idiocy, and hero hacks (Infoworld) --- Heherson Pagcaliwagan forwarded[1] a posting on the Unity Desktop possibly coming to Fedora: "Jackass IT stunt No. 1: Route city services through a laptop. Ever wonder whether you could route an entire city network through a laptop running Fedora? Take a seat. Or better yet, leave the chair for your laptop. You'll need to balance it somewhere to keep city services up and operational through a two-day snowstorm. [snip] After a feverish half-hour configuring the switch and setting up 802.1q trunking and routing on a Dell Latitude running Fedora Linux, the city network was back up and running, with all traffic routing through a single interface on the laptop balanced on a chair in the data center." The full article is available[2]. 1. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013636.html 2. http://infoworld.com/print/145932 --- Linux Format magazine article - Ubuntu vs. Fedora: Which is best? (Tech Radar) --- Robyn Bergeron forwarded[1] a comparison of current Fedora and other linux distributions: "The truth is that there is a distro for everyone. If you want some of the latest technologies, especially in terms of underlying system code, virtual machines and other of-themoment tech, Fedora is a good bet. If you want to have a friendlier desktop experience where your every whim is catered for, Ubuntu would be better for your needs. And, while we're on the subject, if you want to run KDE, you are probably better off with OpenSUSE. There are certainly more than enough Linuxes to go around." The full article is available[2] 1. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013629.html 2. http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/ubuntu-vs-fedora-w… --- IT Lure Distro Hoppin`: Fedora 14 (IT Lure) --- Rahul Sundaram forwarded[1] a recent review of Fedora 14: "While some users may be turned off by the lack of easy-to-reach proprietary drivers/codecs and the barren default software selection, most will appreciate the true qualities of this distro: * its focus on developing the community and trying to keep everyone active and contributing in some way or another; * giving users access to the latest and greatest apps in the open source world; * its commitment to freedom. Surely, as always, there is room for improvement, but I found Laughlin to be the most stable and solid version of Fedora I've tried in years. " The full article is available[2]. 1. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013628.html 2. http://www.itlure.com/2010/12/distro-hoppin-fedora-14.html -- Ambassadors -- This section covers the news surrounding the Fedora Ambassadors Project[1].

Within the thread [9] Caius Chance supported [10] the idea of copying important information to the local list. Another aspect that was discussed was the judicious and proper usage of tags to specify regions which would find the information interesting Truong Anh Tuan reported [11] on the unavailability of the meeting logs after the APAC Ambassador meeting. David Ramsey provided [12] links to the logs Pierros Papadeas posted [13] the Fedora 15 Ambassadors' Schedule Draft [14] urging the Ambassadors to collaborate towards completing the tasks Maria Gracia Leandro Lombardo posted [15] a mail asking "What's really needed to be an Ambassador?" and added a few ideas which can help define this role.

The main thing happening (in my opinion) in the Design Team this week is not documented yet on the mailing list, so I can't provide an unbalanced report: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/2010/12/second-class-citizens.html If it won't make in due time, there will be no Design Beat this week. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/

Cross On the idea of make a Fedora Weekly News Readers survey, Jesus Franco[1] offered a couple of options. Pascal Calarco drafted a survey[2] and asked for feedback. Neville Cross[3] pointed that spreading the survey may also help to spread the Fedora Weekly News. Mel Chua[4] said that this makes sense from budget perspective and offered to pay for the use of Lime Survey services. Robyn Bergeron[5] gave valuable feed back to make the survey more easy to fill out. She also declared herself a fan of Limesurvey. Pascal[6] posted the final version of the survey. As any other Tuesday, Marketing meeting took place and minutes are available to the public[7] 1. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013610.html 2. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013611.html 3. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013612.html 4. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013613.html 5. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013623.html 6. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013625.html 7. http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2010-12-07/fedora_marketi… -- Fedora In the News -- In this section, we cover news from the trade press and elsewhere that is re-posted to the Fedora Marketing list[1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing Contributing Writer: Pascal Calarco 1. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/ --- Unity Desktop Possibly Coming to Fedora (Phoronix) --- Rahul Sundaram forwarded[1] a posting on the Unity Desktop possibly coming to Fedora: "Adam Williamson has shared that he's looking at packaging Canonical's Unity desktop for Fedora. "Why? Well, a few reasons. Mainly, Unity’s an interesting project. I want to look at it and compare it to GNOME Shell and I think quite a few others do too, so it seems nice to package it so you can run both on Fedora. I don’t really want to maintain an Ubuntu install just to test Unity (can’t do it in a KVM VM as it requires compositing support). Also, though, I think it’ll do a bit to help keep everyone honest: if other projects show interest in providing Unity as an option for people to use, it increases the motivation for Unity's developers to make sure it can be easily built without non-upstreamed changes. Hopefully it also increases the motivation for upstream projects to work with the Unity developers to get their changes merged. It's the same for any project, really – if you have a wide base of users of a project across many distributions, it gives everyone involved a reason to work to make sure it's easy to maintain the project across distributions." The full article is available[2]. 1. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2010-December/013620.html 2. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODg2OA --- Fedora Moving to Unity Too! (Ostatic) --- Rahul Sundaram forwarded[1] another posting regarding this: "Despite all the negative reaction to Ubuntu's move to Unity, is it possible that another popular distribution is going to walk in its footsteps? Do they want to experience the backlash and exodus of users? Do they want to be subjected to a barrage of criticism? Well, no, not really. But Adam Williamson is working on making some Fedora packages for those that might want to test and run it. In a blog post today Williamson announced that he's going to give it the ole college try. But according to him, it's going to be quite the undertaking. He said, "I'm just started at the bottom of the dependency pile and seeing how far I can get. So far, I have review requests in for libindicator and dee. I need to do nux, and after libindicator goes in, the actual indicators. The remaining dependencies are a bit trickier."
