Spins SIG meeting time
by Christoph Wickert 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

Hi, we have a result on the spins SIG meeting time. Unfortunately we were not able to find a time that works for everybody. The maximum number of people that could make it are 8 (out of 10) on Monday 20:00 UTC. The following people would currently be excluded: * Jan * Jaroslav I'd like to ask both of you to look into the poll at http://doodle.com/tpi6es8z8chfrkgn again, especially Jan as he is most inflexible person and Jaroslav, since I really like to have him with us as a representative of KDE. Regards, Christoph

Commit messages for spin-kickstarts.git
by Christoph Wickert 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

A note to all spin-kickstarts committers: Please be so kind as to mention the ks or the spin at the beginning of your commit message. Bad: "Save some space" Good: "KDE: Save some space" "fedora-live*-kde.ks: Save some space" (affects both fedora-live-kde.ks and fedora-livecd-kde.ks) Only abandon the spin/kickstart if it is a global change, that affects all spins. Most committers already do this, so please consider this only a small reminder. I am convinced that this will make our lives easier. Regards, Christoph

prelink
by Kevin Fenzi 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Looking at bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679880 it seems that prelink does make things a bit faster if run on the live image at compose time, as well as saving lots of memory if run for more than a day (when the prelink cron kicks in). Anyone have objections to adding a prelink call to the end of the live base compose? Or should we just disable it entirely? Thoughts? kevin

A Fedora spin which fit for systems with 128MB RAM
by Danishka Navin 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Folks, I can find loadds of systems with 128MB RAM in my region. Unfortunately neither F13 nor F14 fit for those systems. And older versions are EOL. Can't we make a spin for systems with low resources? Thanks, -- Danishka Navin http://danishkanavin.blogspot.com http://twitter.com/danishkanavin http://identi.ca/danishka
