Yum Langpack Plugin Test Day Thursday 2010-02-25
by He Rui 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Greetings Everyone, YumLangpackPlugin Test day is coming up: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-02-25_YumLangpackPlugin This event will focus on a yum plugin that allows langpacks to be automatically installed for your native language when base packages with langpacks get installed. So testing it with various languages is highly welcomed to this test day. In the past, we had to install the langpack of some packages such as kde openoffice manually, see bug433512[1]. But now such langpack can be installed automatically if yum-langpacks installed in advance. Good news is that these cases steps can be easily followed and even execute on a F12 system. If you are trying to install a F13 system in your local language, you are already attending this test day! Check the above link for detailed results. Please come to this event and learn this useful plugin. I'm sure you'll feel fun from it！o(*￣▽￣*)o Thanks, He Rui [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433512 -- Contacts FAS Name: Rhe Location: Beijing/UTC+8 TEL: 86-010-62608141 IRC nick: rhe #fedora-qa #fedora-zh

F-13 Alpha Blocker Meeting 2010-02-12 @ 16:00 UTC (11 AM EST)
by Adam Williamson 18 Feb '10

18 Feb '10

When: Friday, 2010-02-19 @ 16:00 UTC (11 AM EST) Where: #fedora-bugzappers on irc.freenode.net It's that time again: blocker bug review meeting time! Tomorrow is the third blocker bug review meeting for Fedora 13 Alpha. Here are the current bugs listed as blocking the Alpha release. We'll be discussing all of these: 562209 NEW anaconda Booting boot.iso, installer unable to read network package metadata 566460 NEW kernel kernel 2.6.33 strips coredump when using pipe in core_pattern 565592 MODIFIED anaconda NameError: global name 'shlex' is not defined 565599 MODIFIED anaconda NameError: global name 'FIRSTBOOT_DEFAULT' is not defined 565611 MODIFIED anaconda AttributeError: Users instance has no attribute 'cryptPassword' 565306 MODIFIED anaconda AttributeError: Users instance has no attribute 'createLuserConf' 563212 MODIFIED xorg-x11-drv-intel xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.10.0-3.fc13.x86_64 kills display: only black screen, no server interactions.... 565639 MODIFIED anaconda Rescue mode fails - AttributeError: can't set attribute 565840 MODIFIED anaconda liveinst fails - OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/updates' 565873 MODIFIED anaconda cmdline kickstart install stops at -- In interactive step cleardiskssel, can't continue 565497 MODIFIED totem-pl-parser totem-pl-parser-2.29.1-1.fc13.i686 requires libgmime-2.4.so.2 557386 MODIFIED kernel changes in do_coredump breaks ABRT 560477 MODIFIED anaconda RescueInterface instance has no attribute 'resetInitializeDiskQuestion' Have an issue you'd like to propose as an F13 release blocker? Please consider the following criteria when escalating an issue: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_13_Alpha_Release_Criteria The aim for the Release Criteria for F13 is for our criteria to match up with our 'gut feelings', so if you see an issue that you think should be a blocker but doesn't meet the criteria, please add it as a blocker and mention at the meeting that the criteria don't cover it. Thanks! To promote a bug for consideration as a blocker, simply mark it as blocking the bug 'F13Alpha'. You can also already mark bugs as blocking the Beta or Final release, if appropriate, by using 'F13Beta' and 'F13Blocker' respectively. Hope to see everyone at the meeting tomorrow! For the record, the command used to generate the list of bugs is: bugzilla query --blocked=538273 --bug_status=NEW,ASSIGNED,NEEDINFO,ON_DEV,MODIFIED,POST,ON_QA,FAILS_QA,PASSES_QA,REOPENED,VERIFIED,RELEASE_PENDING --outputformat="%{bug_id} %{bug_status} %{component} %{summary}" -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

New packaging policy: privilege escalation policy
by Adam Williamson 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

This is to announce that the privilege escalation policy which has been under discussion and revision in the QA and development groups, and in FESCo, for the last few weeks has been approved at today's FESCo meeting[1]. The policy can be found here for now: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Privilege_escalation_policy Please take it into account in future packaging work. I believe the policy should be referenced in the packaging guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines and should be renamed to: Packaging:Privilege_escalation_policy However, I do not have the privileges to perform either of these actions. If someone with the appropriate privileges could do these for me, it would be appreciated.

Color Management Test Day Thursday 2010-02-18
by Adam Williamson 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

It's Test Day time again! This Thursday, 2010-02-18, will be Color Management Test Day[1]. There's some exciting new color management features[2] in Fedora 13. That is to say, there are color management features in Fedora 13! We've never had any real color management in Fedora before, so this is great news for photographers and designers in particular - but everybody, really. The good news is testing for this Test Day is very easy - anyone with a monitor can do most of the testing. A scanner, printer, webcam or colorimeter let you do some other tests. You don't need a Rawhide installation to do the testing, just a nightly live image[3] will do fine, and the testing process is fully documented and won't take more than a few minutes. So come out and help us test! Even if you don't use Fedora, you can test very easily with a live image, and this is one of those features that's popping up in Fedora first but will soon appear in all distributions (as it'll be part of GNOME itself), so you'll be helping your own distribution by testing. The Test Day will run all day in Freenode IRC #fedora-test-day.
