Introduction as a contributor in Fedora Weekly News (FWN)Project
by Ujjal Saha 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Dear all, This is Ujjal Saha, BTech[IT] 3rd Year student in IMPS CET, Malda(INDIA). I am using fedora 11 from quite a year on now and after being friendly to th eLINUX OS, I am extremely willing to join the fedora community and contribute in the fedora weekly news(FWN) project. Motivated by the open source terminology and being free to contribute as per I can, I probably think this is the best place where I could gather a practical knowledge on whats going on the real world and certainly I'll be benifited with real time contributors in this community. Presently I am in India (GMT+5.30) and seriously want to work with the community as soon as possible. Need guidence and help whenever needed. Thanks. Ujjal Saha 31-Oct-2009

29 Oct '09

Hi Mel -- Thanks for the update, sounds like this will be a productive FUDCon around Fedora Insight. Do you think its possible to add Xinha to the task list? It was recently added as an approved package (to rawhide, I suppose?) News team really needs this functionality for FWN on FI. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528003 Many thanks to you and Simon! - pascal Mel Chua wrote: > Simon and I just had a good talk going over the FUDCon hackathon on > zikula, and we thought we'd share the transcript to give everyone a > heads-up on what's coming. > > --Mel > > 22:34:35 < zodbot> Minutes: > http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-mktg/2009-10-26/fedora-mktg.2009-10… > 22:34:35 < zodbot> Minutes (text): > http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-mktg/2009-10-26/fedora-mktg.2009-10… > 22:34:35 < zodbot> Log: > http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-mktg/2009-10-26/fedora-mktg.2009-10… > >

We hope you enjoy FWN 199! If you are interested in contributing to Fedora Weekly News, please see our 'join' page[2]. We welcome reader feedback: fedora-news-list(a)redhat.com The Fedora News team is collaborating with Marketing and Docs to come up with a new exciting platform for disseminating news and views on Fedora, called Fedora Insight. We plan to have the next issue of Fedora Weekly News in Fedora Insight, next week. We welcome your feedback as we migrate FWN to this new content platform! FWN Editorial Team: Pascal Calarco, Adam Williamson 1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Issue199 2. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/NewsProject/Join -- Planet Fedora -- In this section, we cover the highlights of Planet Fedora[1] - an aggregation of blogs from Fedora contributors worldwide. Contributing Writer: Adam Batkin 1. http://planet.fedoraproject.org --- General --- Pavol Rusnak described[1] how scripts using LD_LIBRARY_PATH can be written to work in a more secure way. Konstantin Ryabitsev explained[2] the many reasons why embedding passwords in PHP scripts is a Bad Idea, and possible alternatives. Matt Domsch helped[3] get some patches integrated so that Linuxes can use embedded TPM chips to feed the entropy pool (and get better/more secure random numbers). Kamil Páral created[4] a tool, rpmguard "for checking differences between RPM packages. It is very similar to rpmdiff, but it prints only important changes, not all. Therefore it can be used every time a new package is built to easily see if something hasn’t went completely wrong." Richard W.M. Jones has been busy at work on libguestfs. There are a few new tools: virt-tar[5] and virt-ls[6] as well as a list[7] of current (and upcoming) virt-* tools. Richard provided some tips too, obtaining[8] the Windows version and service pack number and unpacking[9] a Mac .dmg installer. And lastly, building a supermin appliance using febootstrap: Given a Fedora appliance on a Fedora host, "Let’s strip out all those programs and libraries from the appliance, and we’ll add them back from the host just before we launch it." 1. http://stick.gk2.sk/blog/2009/10/wrong-usage-of-ld_library_path/ 2. http://blog.mricon.com/2009/10/passwords-in-php-scripts.html 3. http://domsch.com/blog/?p=107 4. http://kparal.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/rpmguard-print-important-differences… 5. http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2009/10/19/new-tool-virt-tar/ 6. http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2009/10/19/new-tool-virt-ls/ 7. http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/fedora-virt-commands/ 8. http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2009/10/23/tip-get-windows-version-service-pack-n… 9. http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2009/10/25/unpack-a-mac-dmg-installer-using-guest… --- Fedora 12 Beta Roundup --- Lots of people have downloaded, installed and written up their experiences with the just-released Fedora 12 Beta. Collected here are some of the Fedora Planet blog posts on the topic. Adam Williamson[1], Sandro Mathys[2], Paul W. Frields[3] and Andrew Vermilya Jamison[4] all installed the Beta and posted their initial thoughts. Nicu Buceli noted[5] F12's better webcam support and threw[6] a Windows 7 party to celebrate. And if you want your menu icons back, Nicu can tell[7] you how to do that too. Nicu also reviewed[8] the new GNOME Shell, as did Jeff Ollie[9]. Matt Domsch mentioned[10] that Fedora 12 is now self-hosting. "What does this mean? Simply put, it means that you can use a copy of Fedora 12 to rebuild, from source, all of Fedora 12 again." Máirín Duffy displayed[11] the work so far in developing a new desktop wallpaper background image. And finally, some news from off-planet. Ars Technica took a look[12] at the Fedora 12 Beta release. 1. http://www.happyassassin.net/2009/10/20/fedora-12-beta-is-go/ 2. http://blog.sandro-mathys.ch/2009/10/20/f12-beta-on-lenovo-t400s 3. http://marilyn.frields.org:8080/~paul/wordpress/?p=2808 4. http://blogs.andyjamison.com/andy/linux-trials/fedora-12-beta-initial-thoug… 5. http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/2009/10/better-webcam-support.html 6. http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-own-windows-7-party.html 7. http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/2009/10/give-back-my-icons.html 8. http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/2009/10/way-of-dodo.html 9. http://jeff.blogs.ocjtech.us/2009/10/gnome-shell.html 10. http://domsch.com/blog/?p=116 11. http://linuxgrrl.com/blog/2009/10/24/f12-wallpaper-sprinting/ 12. http://arstechnica.com/open-source/reviews/2009/10/ars-takes-a-first-look-u… -- Ambassadors -- In this section, we cover Fedora Ambassadors Project[1]. Contributing Writer: Larry Cafiero 1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors --- Fedora at ABLEConf in Phoenix, Arizona --- Ryan Rix provides wrap up of Fedora's representation at the Arizona Business and Liberty Experience in Phoenix, Arizona over the weekend. http://hackersramblings.wordpress.com/2009/10/25/ableconf/ Ryan thanks to Clint Savage and FAmNA for the Fedora table's supplies (which were a huge success, by the by) and also many thanks to Aaron Siego for flying out from the icy north to be with us in the uncomfortably warm fall. --- Fedora 12 is coming --- While you may still be promoting Fedora 11 in your areas, you can make plans for Fedora 12 events to promote and celebrate the release of our next version. As such, with the upcoming release of Fedora 12, this is a reminder that posting an announcement of your event on Fedora Weekly News can help get the word out. Contact FWN Ambassador correspondent Larry Cafiero at lcafiero-AT-fedoraproject-DOT-org with announcements of upcoming events -- and don't forget to e-mail reports after the events as well. -- QualityAssurance In this section, we cover the activities of the QA team[1]. Contributing Writer: Adam Williamson 1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA --- Test Days --- Last week's first Test Day[1] was on the confined SELinux users feature. The modest turnout of testers managed to run through nearly the whole set of tests and expose several bugs to help refine the feature. The second Test Day[2] was on power management[3] improvements in Fedora 12. A good turnout of testers ran the carefully prepared test suite on an even wider array of machines, providing valuable data for the developers. Next week's Test Day[4], the last of the Fedora 12 cycle, will be on internationalization (also known as i18n)[5] - an event which usually has a strong focus on input methods, but can also cover issues like fonts. This Test Day was previously scheduled for 2009-10-15 but was postponed, this is the new date. The Test Day will run all day on Thursday 2009-10-29 in the #fedora-test-day IRC channel. Please come along and help ensure Fedora works just as well no matter what language you use! No Fit and Finish track Test Day is planned for next week. If you would like to propose a main track Test Day for the Fedora 13 cycle, please contact the QA team via email or IRC, or file a ticket in QA Trac[6]. 1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-10-20 2. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-10-22 3. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PowerManagementF12 4. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-10-29 5. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N 6. http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ --- Weekly meetings --- The QA group weekly meeting[1] was held on 2009-10-19. The full log is available[2]. James Laska followed up on concerns raised at the last meeting by Jesse Keating that blocker bugs may not be being identified fast enough. James noted that research by himself and Adam Williamson indicated almost all issues had been escalated within two days of being identified, which he felt was a good record. James Laska had also investigated the packaging of the israwhidebroken.com project code. He found it was very easy to build a package since the code used Python setuptools. He also reported that he had requested the creation of a public autoqa-devel mailing list for the AutoQA project[3]. James Laska initiated a review of the Beta testing process. Liam Li was thinking about ways to get 100% installation test case coverage, or at least improve the coverage to all tier 2 tests. James was pleased that all tier 1 tests had been covering during the Beta test process. James asked whether it would be possible to reduce the number of tests in the matrix. Liam was not sure whether that would actually reduce release quality. James suggested looking for potential duplication of cases in the matrix. Adam Williamson wondered if it would be possible to generate a version of the matrix showing only uncompleted tests, so it would be clearer which tests still needed to be performed. James pointed out that the matrix could already be sorted. Adam had not considered that possibility, and suggested that it be explained in Liam's test request emails. Ben Williams pointed out the Fedora Unity test matrix[4], and James suggested merging the two together. Will Woods discussed the possibility of integrating the AutoQA installation test results; he said it would be simpler to just have a link to an external AutoQA results page, but having the AutoQA system insert results into a Wiki page would be possible. Will Woods and Kamil Paral reported on the progress of the AutoQA project. Will had been working on getting the production AutoQA instance up and running. He had given up on the idea of having israwhidebroken.com link back to detailed test results, instead planning to provide a page explaining where to find the results. This means israwhidebroken.com can go up as soon as the production AutoQA instance is running. Beyond this, Will has been working on a hook for Koji, which will allow AutoQA to trigger on new builds in Koji. A preliminary version of this code is available[5]. Kamil had continued work on his script to monitor important changes in packages, now renamed 'rpmguard'. It is now maintained in AutoQA git[6]. He had created test packages to make sure the script works as intended, and now is looking for feedback from a wider test audience. He planned to write a blog post to try and trigger people to test and provide feedback on the script. He was also looking for suggestions for the best possible output format for the tool. Jóhann Guðmundsson and Adam Williamson updated the status of the project to revise debugging-related pages. Richard June had helped out by starting work on an alternative template page[7]. Adam felt it should be possible to come up with a template which would standardize the layout of such pages while still providing enough flexibility to cover different components, but he had not yet had enough time to try and work on this himself. He emphasized that no-one should wait on the planned template before revising pages to fit the new format and naming scheme. James Laska volunteered to work on renaming all existing pages to fit the new naming scheme. Jesse Keating asked the group to help review tag requests for the final release. He noted there was no formal set of requirements for tag requests for critical path packages, but asked reviewers to be sensible in judging whether the change was safe and genuinely necessary. Requests should explain what issue the updated package fixes, why it needs to be fixed, and the likely impact if it is not fixed. He provided an RSS feed[8] to monitor tickets as they come in. Adam Williamson asked the group to help develop the Fedora 12 Common Bugs page[9] by adding issues to it and marking bugs which should be added to it with the CommonBugs keyword. James Laska provided a search URL[10] for listing bug reports marked as needing to be added to a Common Bugs page. The Bugzappers group weekly meeting[11] was held on 2009-10-20. The full log is available[12]. Richard June reported on the progress of the kernel triage project. He had found more bugs that required further information, and was working with John Linville to ensure his process for getting more information on these reports was correct. Adam Williamson provided an update on the debugging page revision project, recapping the discussion from the previous day's QA meeting. Edward Kirk made a suggestion for a Triage Day event. He suggested a day to review all remaining open Fedora 10 bugs, trying to close reports that can be closed and rebase others to later Fedora releases if possible and necessary. The group liked the idea, and there was general agreement on Friday 2009-10-30 at 15:00 UTC as the date and time. Edward promised to announce the event on the mailing list ahead of time. Brennan Ashton updated the status of the triage metrics project. He had not had time to work on it since his last update. He had tried to find someone to help maintain the project, but had not yet been successful. However, he had the upcoming week off and would try to produce a summary of the current state of the project to make it easier to find other maintainers. Adam Williamson and Edward Kirk were eager to try and help move the project forward. Steven Parrish asked if any other group members would be at the upcoming FUDCon Toronto event[13]. Adam Williamson said that he and the rest of the Red Hat Fedora QA team would be there. Steven and Adam noted that limited funding was available for community members to attend the event, and explained that those wanting funding should add their name to the attendee list and check the column for funding. Brennan Ashton asked if anyone else would be driving from Boston. Adam pointed out that there was a group bus[14] being organized. The next QA weekly meeting will be held on 2009-10-26 at 1600 UTC in #fedora-meeting, and the next Bugzappers weekly meeting on 2009-10-27 at 1500 UTC in #fedora-meeting. 1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Meetings 2. http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2009-10-19/fedora-meeting.2… 3. https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1733 4. http://spins.fedoraunity.org/Members/Southern_Gentleman/Fedora%2012%20%20be… 5. https://fedorahosted.org/autoqa/browser/hooks/post-koji-build/watch-koji-bu… 6. http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/autoqa.git?a=tree;f=tests/rpmguard 7. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:How_to_debug2 8. https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/timeline?ticket=on&changeset=on&milestone=… 9. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F12_bugs 10. http://tinyurl.com/l4kma5 11. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/Meetings 12. http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2009-10-20/fedora-meeting.2… 13. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Toronto_2009 14. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Toronto_2009#Bus_Travel --- Fedora 12 Beta release --- Of course, the week's big news was the release of Fedora 12 Beta[1]. This prompted several threads[2] [3] [4] [5] (and more) from enthusiastic testers, with valuable experiences which Adam Williamson encouraged to be turned into bug reports. 1. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-October/msg00393.html 2. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-October/msg00453.html 3. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-October/msg00458.html 4. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-October/msg00486.html 5. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-October/msg00493.html --- Confined users Test Day summary --- Eduard Benes provided a summary[1] of the SELinux confined users Test Day[2], listing the bug reports resulting from the Test Day and thanking the testers and also Dan Walsh, who had already begun resolving reported bugs. 1. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-October/msg00488.html 2. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-10-20 --- Fedora 12 blocker bug review meeting --- Adam Williamson provided a recap[1] of the blocker bug review meeting which took place on Friday 2009-10-23, linking to a report[2] of the meeting which lists the status and actions decided for all 51 blocker bugs reviewed during the course of the meeting. He thanked all those who attended for their help in reviewing the large load of bugs. 1. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-October/msg00579.html 2. http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-bugzappers/2009-10-23/fedora-bugzap… -- Translation -- This section covers the news surrounding the Fedora Translation (L10n) Project[1]. Contributing Writer: Runa Bhattacharjee 1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N --- Scheduled Translation Tasks for Fedora 12 --- The currently scheduled task for the Fedora Translation teams is the translation of all the Fedora Guides. This would end on the 5th of November 09[1]. 1. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-October/msg00118.html --- Cracklib Translations for Anaconda --- Translation of the cracklib package was recommened by Ankit Patel[1], as this package provides some strings for the 'Root password creation' dialog that is presented by Anaconda during Fedora installations. At present the translations can be submitted directly in the sourceforge.net project page. However, Dimitris Glezos informed that this package would be made available via transifex.net to accept translation submission[2]. 1. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-October/msg00122.html 2. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-October/msg00127.html --- FLSCo Election Proposal --- The current chair of the FLSCo Dimitris Glezos has put forward the suggestion about conducting another round of elections for the FLSCo after the release of Fedora 12[1]. Currently this discussion is open on the fedora-trans mailing list. 1. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-October/msg00126.html --- New Members/Maintainers in FLP --- Dimitrios Typaldos[1] joined the Greek Translation team last week while Iñigo Varela announced the new Asturian Translation team[2]. Also, Silvio Pierro took over the maintainership of the Italian Translation team[3]. This team was earlier led by Francesco Tombolini. 1. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-October/msg00117.html 2. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-October/msg00128.html 3. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-October/msg00121.html -- Artwork -- In this section, we cover the Fedora Design Team[1]. Contributing Writer: Nicu Buculei 1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork --- Fedora 12 Countdown banner --- Máirín Duffy asked[1] for someone to take care of the countdown banner for the Fedora 12 final release "Does anybody have the cycles to take the beta banner and refactor it into a countdown banner?" and both Nicu Buculei[2] and Alexander Smirnov[3] provided alternate implementations. 1. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001191.ht… 2. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001195.ht… 3. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001204.ht… --- Icon Emblems --- Matthias Clasen asked for help[1] with the xdg folder icons " Your challenge, if you accept it, is to take the scalable Mist folder icon and add scalable lookalikes of the emblems to it" and Máirín Duffy completed the task[2]. 1. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001192.ht… 2. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001199.ht… --- F12 Final Wallpaper Polish --- After consulting on IRC with other members of the team Máirín Duffy proposed[1] a final update for the Fedora 12 wallpaper artwork "I'd love to hear your thoughts. I think we want to stay with the order & chaos concept; Nicu and I brainstormed a bit and I started taking this direction where you have close-together/orderly bokeh bursting out onto the left [...] I would love to hear what you think - could this work for F12? How could we push it further?" Bill Nottingham worried[2] about a need to respin all the release artwork, Jaroslav Reznik complained[3] a late and potentially disruptive change "I was really happy that we have everything ready in time for alpha and now we're starting again from point zero :(". Máirín pointed [4] this is an evolutionary process "This is not restarting from point zero. There is an absolute progression here if you start from the first iteration to these iterations", while others like Charlie Brej expressed their support[5] for the new design "As I said in IRC, I do like very much." At the time of this writing, the development continue, Fedora Weekly News will keep you updated. 1. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001221.ht… 2. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001222.ht… 3. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001235.ht… 4. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001242.ht… 5. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001230.ht… --- Post-Beta Changes for the Desktop Look --- Matthias Clasen started la large controversy[1] on @fedora-desktop after announcing a number of post-Beta changes to the desktop look and feel "note has been moved to the left, with the other launchers, the user switcher has been moved to the far right and the show desktop button has been removed. We have added padding between objects on the panel." A lot of people criticised the change so late in the release cycle, after the feature freeze made in a non-transparent way, like Rahul Sundaram[2] "The show desktop button has been in the GNOME panel for years and years. I am not sure why you wait for such changes to be done at the last minute. Where does such changes get discussed?" or John Poelstra[3] "I think removing the hide desktop button is a really bad change too. I also don't understand why these changes continue to pile on when we are way past past alpha and feature freeze. These do not seem like 'bug fixes'. Are more changes planned too?" 1. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2009-October/msg00066.h… 2. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2009-October/msg00072.h… 3. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2009-October/msg00078.h… -- Security Advisories -- In this section, we cover Security Advisories from fedora-package-announce. https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-announce Contributing Writer: Pascal Calarco --- Fedora 11 Security Advisories --- * xpdf-3.02-15.fc11 - https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg005… * pidgin-2.6.3-2.fc11 - https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg005… --- Fedora 10 Security Advisories --- * xpdf-3.02-15.fc10 - https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg005… * pidgin-2.6.3-2.fc10 - https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg006… -- Virtualization -- In this section, we cover discussion of Fedora virtualization technologies on the @fedora-virt and @virt-tools lists.. Contributing Writer: Dale Bewley --- Fedora Virtualization List --- This section contains the discussion happening on the fedora-virt list. ---- KVM and Paravirtualization ---- The Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine is a form of hardware assisted virtualization[1] as opposed to software-only or paravirtualization. This means the underlying hardware must have CPU features like Intel-VT or AMD-V. While common in the last few years, there are still many servers in operation which lack these extensions. Giovanni Tirloni asked[2] about the state of paravirtualization support in KVM, and asked about a set of KVM patches[3]. Dor Laor answered[4] there is no plan to support non-VT hardware with KVM. While Xen is not supported on Fedora, it is still a paravirtualization for such hardware option under Redhat 5. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware-assisted_virtualization 2. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-October/msg00090.html 3. http://people.redhat.com/mingo/kvm-paravirt-patches/ 4. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-October/msg00092.html ---- Installing Virtio Drivers in Windows XP Setup ---- Richard Hughes posted[1] the following directions for installing VirtIO drivers[2] during Windows XP setup. * create a 1.44Mb image file * mount it by loopback * format it with vfat * copy the Install/Xp/x86/viostor.sys, Install/Xp/x86/wnet.inf, and the txtsetup.oem file below to the root of the mounted image * umount the loop device * attach the floppy image as a floppy storage element in the VM's details pane * boot the VM * remember to press F6 when booting the windows xp setup and select the VirtoIO device. File txtsetup.oem: [Disks] d1 = "Viostor SCSI driver disk",\disk1.tag,\ [Defaults] SCSI = viostor [SCSI] viostor = "Viostor SCSI Controller" [Files.SCSI.viostor] driver = d1,viostor.sys,viostor inf = d1,wnet.inf [HardwareIds.scsi.viostor] id = "PCI\VEN_1AF4&DEV_1001","viostor" Richard added "I'm still unable to install XP using ide, scsi or virtio drivers as it gives the message "Setup was unable to format the partition. The disk maybe damaged." -- any ideas welcome." 1. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-October/msg00101.html 2. http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/WindowsGuestDrivers/Download_Drivers --- Virtualization Tools List --- This section contains the discussion happening on the virt-tools-list list. ---- libosinfo Revisited ---- Arjun Roy revived[1] discussion of a library to track details of OS distributions for use by tools such as image:Echo-package-16px.pngpython-virtinst and virt-inspector. LibOSinfo was first proposed[2] by Cole Robinson. 1. http://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2009-October/msg00091.html 2. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Issue180#libosinfo:_Library_for_Virt_OS.2… --- Other Sources --- ---- Using Kernel Samepage Merging with KVM ---- An upcoming feature of Fedora 12 is KSM[1]. "Kernel SamePage Merging is a recent linux kernel feature which combines identical memory pages from multiple processes into one copy on write memory region." Haydn Solomon described[2] how KSM and KVM work together. 1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KSM 2. http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/using-ksm-kernel-samepage-merging-kvm - end FWN 199 - --- Pascal Calarco, Fedora Ambassador, Indiana, USA https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pcalarco

Frields, Fedora Project Leader, announced [1] exclusively about the FUDCon Lodging. On his brief, he mentioned, "We've added an extra "hotel" field to the FUDCon wiki pre-registration table, on the far right.[2] If you have already booked at the hotel, please visit the wiki.If you do not need lodging, please visit the wiki. Use the following codes for the hotel booking field: Y == HAVE booked lodging NA == Not applicable, don't need/want If you have not booked, but need lodging, you don't need to do anything at this time. The FUDCon planning team will get initial roomsharing set up for people based on the responses, so please be courteous to your fellow Fedora community members by promptly responding [1][2]. Thanks. [1] If your lodging is not being funded by the Fedora Project, and you don't want to room share, that's perfectly OK. :-) Please mark the wiki comments to say "not roomsharing" in that case.

Contributing Writer: Adam Batkin 1. http://planet.fedoraproject.org --- General --- Richard W.M. Jones described[1] a "Poor man's P2V": "What happens when you have an old server sitting in the corner — the hardware is flaky and you need to set up a virtual equivalent ASAP, but no one can remember how that old server is configured? People will sell you very expensive software to solve this problem for you. But if you have some time and patience you can do P2V conversions by hand for free, and it’s not too hard. Here’s how." Rahul Sundaram found[2] that the recent major changes to Thunderbird's user interface (that had suddenly appeared after a routine Fedora 11 update) have been fixed/reverted. Michael DeHaan tried to define[3] all of the possible meanings of the word "Cloud". Seth Vidal wondered[4] about the growth of Fedora (for example, number of packages and size of Yum repository metadata) and how to sustain future growth. Jose M Manimala introduced[5] Entente, a web services framework for Python "which requires minimal configuration and can be deployed based on Generated classes or user defined classes." Máirín Duffy demoed[6] a new GTK font selector dialog box that may drastically improve usability. Máirín also posted[7] the complete part list, with photos (including the giant carrying case). James Antill addressed[8] some of the issues affecting the installation of multiple versions of a single (RPM) package on a system, and how Python 3 in particular can be handled. Martin Sourada looked[9] at how lighting affects the Echo Icon Theme. "So, I wonder what do you folks reading the Fedora (Design) Planet think? It's still not too late to adjust the guidelines for Echo Perspective..." 1. http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2009/10/13/poor-mans-p2v/ 2. http://mether.wordpress.com/2009/10/14/thunderbird-problem-gets-fixed/ 3. http://michaeldehaan.net/2009/10/14/what-does-cloud-mean/ 4. http://skvidal.wordpress.com/2009/10/14/limits-to-growth/ 5. http://josemanimala.eu.org/posts/305 6. http://mairin.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/gtk-font-selector-ui-update-round-1/ 7. http://mairin.wordpress.com/2009/10/17/open-source-portable-usability-testi… 8. http://illiterat.livejournal.com/7660.html 9. http://mso-chronicles.blogspot.com/2009/10/echo-icons-lighting-and-shadows.… -- QualityAssurance -- In this section, we cover the activities of the QA team[1]. Contributing Writer: Adam Williamson 1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA --- Test Days --- Last week's planned Test Day on internationalization (i18n) was postponed to a yet-to-be-determined future date. Our apologies to anyone who made time to attend. Two Test Days are scheduled for next week. The first[1] is on the confined SELinux users feature. This feature involves assigning an SELinux role to a user. The role's policy controls the extent of the user's access to the system. The Test Day will focus on testing several scenarios to ensure the policy restrictions work as they should. As usual, there will be a live CD available for testing - there's no need to install Rawhide. The Test Day will run all day on Thursday 2009-10-20 in the #fedora-test-day IRC channel. The second Test Day[2] will be on power management[3], especially specific improvements made in Fedora 12. Some very specific but easy-to-run test cases which will greatly aid the development team in refining power management have been developed for the Test Day: there's even a helpful script which runs the tests and generates the need results automatically. As usual, there will be a live CD available for testing - there's no need to install Rawhide. This Test Day will be very easy to participate in, and the information you can generate will be very helpful, so please come along and help out! The Test Day will run all day on Thursday 2009-10-22 in the #fedora-test-day IRC channel. No Fit and Finish track Test Day is planned for next week. If you would like to propose a main track Test Day for the Fedora 12 or 13 cycles, please contact the QA team via email or IRC, or file a ticket in QA Trac[4]. 1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-10-20 2. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-10-22 3. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PowerManagementF12 4. http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ --- Weekly meetings --- The QA group weekly meeting[1] was held on 2009-10-12. The full log is available[2]. James Laska reported that the new hardware which would be used to host the israwhidebroken.com project and other parts of the AutoQA project is in transit. James Laska had contacted the Anaconda development team to check if the recent installer test days had identified any Beta blocker bugs. He found that the first test day had resulted in three blockers being added to the list. Jesse Keating worried that too much testing was being done after the Beta freeze, which made resolving identified bugs very difficult. James felt that extensive testing was being done both before and after the freeze. Jesse believed some of the blocker bugs that were found after the freeze date could have been found earlier. James agreed to investigate the bugs in question to see when they were introduced and when they were identified. James Laska reviewed the status of the first Beta release candidate build, and noted status on the last remaining beta blocker bug was unclear. Denise Dumas said that Dave Lehman would investigate and report whether the bug was fixed in the release candidate build, and hence whether a second release candidate build would be required. James, Liam Li and Rui He had already started validation testing on the release candidate build[3]. Will Woods reported on the progress of the AutoQA project. He had been working on backlinking from the test status information on israwhidebroken.com to the actual test result in the autotest front end, but had not yet found a satisfactory solution. He had also been looking at auto-generating a Wiki page to list the critical path packages (as the set of critical path packages can change unpredictably, a manually-maintained static page is not a good solution). His plan for this is blocked by the Python interface to the Wiki using JSON, which cannot create or edit pages. Will and James Laska agreed that James would work on creating a package of the israwhidebroken.com code to be used for the production instance of the site. Kamil Paral reported steady progress on his packagediff test for identifying major changes between package versions. He had initial implementations of most important tests, and was working to generate fake packages so he can test the script and isolate any bugs in it. The group agreed that in the long term it would make sense to integrate Kamil's work as extensions to the existing rpmdiff tool, but in the short term it could be hosted as part of the AutoQA project. Jóhann Guðmundsson explained his project to revise and standardize Wiki pages dealing with debugging and reporting bugs in various components[4]. He had created a template for such pages[5] and revised several existing pages to fit this new template. The group discussed a standard naming convention for such pages, and agreed on How_to_debug_(component name). Jóhann mentioned that he would welcome feedback on the usefulness of the existing pages, which would be the most important ones to revise, and what new pages of this type should be created. The Bugzappers group weekly meeting[6] was held on 2009-10-13. Adam Williamson commented on the QA group's discussion of Jóhann Guðmundsson's debugging page revision project, noting the agreement on the How_to_debug_(component name) naming convention. Edward Kirk noted that housekeeping tasks, which would have been starting that week, had been delayed due to the overall release schedule delay occasioned by the delay of the Beta release. Adam Williamson noted that Richard June was not present to give an update on the kernel triage project, nor was Brennan Ashton present to discuss the triage metrics project. Sergey Rudchenko wanted to know if there was a way to have Bugzilla notify him of new bugs being filed on a particular component, but not of any change activity to existing bugs, as he found the volume of email with all the change messages included overwhelming. Edward Kirk suggested that he use the RSS feed search result feature for this. Any Bugzilla search can be used as an RSS feed in Red Hat's Bugzilla, so to achieve the desired result you can simply search for NEW bugs in any component and subscribe to the feed for the search result. New bugs for that component will then be shown on the feed. The next QA weekly meeting will be held on 2009-10-19 at 1600 UTC in #fedora-meeting, and the next Bugzappers weekly meeting on 2009-10-20 at 1500 UTC in #fedora-meeting. 1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Meetings 2. http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2009-10-12/fedora-meeting.2… 3. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_12_Beta_RC1_Install 4. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-October/msg00112.html 5. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:How_to_debug 6. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/Meetings --- DeltaISO update --- Andre Robatino reported[1] that he was unable to generate DeltaISOs on Rawhide as a side-effect of the endianness issue in xz which had been previously discussed by the development group. Andre later announced[2] DeltaISOs for Beta test compose -> Beta RC1 and Beta RC1 -> Beta RC2. 1. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-October/msg00197.html 2. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-October/msg00222.html --- Fedora 12 Beta RC2 testing --- Liam Li announced the formal testing process for the second release candidate build of Fedora 12 Beta[1]. He noted that the test matrix was available[2] and asked for the group's help in performing as many of the tests as possible. Cornel Panceac wondered[3] why there were no live images available. Jesse Keating explained[4] that he had had to delay building the live images until he was sure the regular installer images were OK due to resource constraints. 1. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-October/msg00203.html 2. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_12_Beta_RC2_Install 3. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-October/msg00260.html 4. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-October/msg00290.html -- Translation -- This section covers the news surrounding the Fedora Translation (L10n) Project[1]. Contributing Writer: Runa Bhattacharjee 1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N --- FLP Representation at the Beta Release Readiness Meeting --- FLSCo member Noriko Mizumoto represented the FLP in the Project Wise Fedora 12 Beta Readiness meeting held on 14th October 2009[1]. In her report, she thanked the Package Maintainers for responding to the request from FLP to rebuild most of the packages for translation review. Additionally, a number of bugs were filed during the Translation Review and Noriko put forward a request to check the possibility for their correction in Fedora 12 GA. Paul Frields has taken responsibility to take this issue to Bill Nottingham. Noriko also raised concern about the string freeze breaks that happened during this release. Documentation, Banner, Website translation are scheduled for later dates and Noriko informed that FLP would be communicating with the respective teams accordingly. The complete log for the meeting is also available[2]. 1. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-October/msg00112.html 2. http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2009-10-14/fedora-meeting.2… --- Scheduled Translation Tasks for Fedora 12 --- The deadline for translation of Fedora 12 Beta Release Notes was scheduled for 12th October 2009 and the .rpm file built the next day. The next significant Translation milestone is the translation of all the Fedora Guides, which would start on 21st October 2009 and end on 5th November 2009.[1] 1. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-October/msg00107.html --- Concern About Virt-manager Translation Submission --- The maintainer of the Russian Translation Team, Yulia Poyarkova raised a concern[1] about the submission of the virt-manager translations, since the bug[2] accepting the translations has been closed in preparation for Fedora 12 GA. This module is currently not available for submission via translate.fedoraproject.org. 1. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-October/msg00113.html 2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=493795 --- New Members in FLP --- Alexey Matveichev (Russian)[1], Enczel (Korean)[2], and Bruce Cowan (British English)[3] joined the Fedora Localization Project last week. 1. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-October/msg00105.html 2. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-October/msg00108.html 3. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-October/msg00115.html -- Artwork -- In this section, we cover the Fedora Design Team[1]. Contributing Writer: Nicu Buculei 1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork --- Constantine Wallpaper Extras --- Reaching the proposed deadline, Martin Sourada started the selection[1] for the extra wallpapers[2] to be included in Fedora 12 "originally the idea was to aim for 4, I think best would be to hear people's (from the design team) opinion on which ones would they include (aiming for 4 +/- 2) and base the final number on the discussion." In reply, Máirín Duffy opted[3] for quality over quantity "My preference would be for fewer but higher-quality than more with varying quality". Nicu Buculei listed his preferences[4], including the 'educational' wallpaper[5] made by Maria Leandro[6], which wasn't in the proposals list, and Martin Sourada followed[7] with a lit of his own options. 1. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001181.ht… 2. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F12_Artwork/Extras 3. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001182.ht… 4. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001185.ht… 5. http://tatica.org/2009/07/15/wallpapers-fedora-para-ninos/ 6. http://tatica.org/2009/07/15/wallpapers-fedora-para-ninos/ 7. http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001186.ht… -- Security Advisories -- In this section, we cover Security Advisories from fedora-package-announce. https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-announce Contributing Writer: Pascal Calarco --- Fedora 11 Security Advisories --- * perl-Net-OAuth-0.19-1.fc11 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0049… * phpMyAdmin-3.2.2.1-1.fc11 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0049… * Django-1.1.1-1.fc11 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0047… * rubygem-rails-2.3.2-5.fc11 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0043… * rubygem-activeresource-2.3.2-2.fc11 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0043… * rubygem-activesupport-2.3.2-2.fc11 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0042… * rubygem-activerecord-2.3.2-2.fc11 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0042… * rubygem-actionpack-2.3.2-2.fc11 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0042… * rubygem-actionmailer-2.3.2-3.fc11 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0042… * drupal-service_links-6.x.1.0-5.fc11 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0039… * dopewars-1.5.12-8.1033svn.fc11 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0037… * deltarpm-3.4-18.fc11 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0036… * dnsmasq-2.46-3.fc11 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0032… --- Fedora 10 Security Advisories --- * kernel-2.6.27.37-170.2.104.fc10 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0048… * perl-Net-OAuth-0.19-1.fc10 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0047… * Django-1.1.1-1.fc10 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0047… * phpMyAdmin-3.2.2.1-1.fc10 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0046… * dnsmasq-2.46-2.fc10 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0044… * drupal-service_links-6.x.1.0-5.fc10 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0037… * dopewars-1.5.12-8.1033svn.fc10 - http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-package-announce/2009-October/msg0031… - end FWN 198 -
