Announcing Fedora Core 6 Test 1 (5.90)
by Jesse Keating 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

Just two years ago, a brave test pilot by the name of Mike Melvill successfully guided SpaceShipOne 62 miles above California, USA, overcoming technical problems that could have proven tragic to become the first civilian to reach space, part of a team effort that won the ANSARI X Prize. A team of civilians working together to accomplish a dream, an unbelievable goal. Today, we of the Fedora Project send our "test pilot" out into the world, hoping to do the impossible. Improve upon the last release! (: Fedora Core 6 Test 1 (5.90) Now Available ================================== The Fedora Project announces the first release of the Fedora Core 6 development cycle, available for the i386, x86_64, and ppc/ppc64 architectures, including Intel based Macintosh computers. Beware that Test releases are recommended only for Linux experts/enthusiasts or for the technology evaluation, as many parts are likely to be broken adn the rate of change is rapid. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Core/Schedule Test 2 is scheduled for release July 19, marking the developmental freeze of the Fedora Core 6 release. No new features after this point. It is important that we get your help in testing, reporting and suggesting fixes for bugs, and directing the technological improvements we attempt with this release of Fedora Core. Please direct bugs to http://bugzilla.redhat.com, product Fedora Core, Version fc6test1. As always, be sure that your bug is not already fixed by updates and search for existing bugs before filing. Thanks to all in the Fedora Project Community who have contributed to this release. Your continued efforts are what makes Fedora possible. Downloads ========= DVD, CD and network installation are available. Please read the Important Warnings below in this announcement for more details. http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ The recommended method of download is via BitTorrent from this site. http://fedora.redhat.com/Download/mirrors.html HTTP, FTP, and RSYNC downloads are available from Fedora Project mirrors listed above.

Gnucash busted
by Jonathan Corbet 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

I've been using the gnucash development releases in Fedora without trouble - until recently. Now, on startup, it gives me: Backtrace: In current input: 1: 0* [gnc:main] In /usr/share/gnucash/guile-modules/gnucash/main.scm: 241: 1 (if (not (gnc:handle-command-line-args)) (gnc:shutdown 1)) 241: 2* [not ... 241: 3* [gnc:handle-command-line-args] In /usr/share/gnucash/scm/command-line.scm: 187: 4 (let ((remaining-arguments #) (result #t)) (do (# # #) (#) ...) ...) 190: 5* (do ((rest (cdr #)) (quit? #f) (item #f)) ((or quit?

Is something generally broken, or is this a bit of special behavior just for me? Thanks, jon

Latest rawhide evolution crashes
by Mike Chambers 02 Jul '06

02 Jul '06

Anyone experiencing evolution-2.7.2.1-4 from rawhide on a rawhide system crashing and not even able to get to my inbox? It seems to crash right upon start. Now this is a fresh rawhide install as of 2 hours ago. If I knew I could get my password set somehow before the crash, maybe it would go farther. But I don't know what is causing the crash.

firefox downgrade on FC5
by Ian Burrell 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

I just did an rsync of my local FC5 updates mirror and noticed that it downloaded firefox-0.10.0-1.0PR1.5.i386.rpm and removed the other firefox packages. It looks like an ancient firefox package somehow got into the FC5 updates directory. This isn't just a mirror problem; it is at http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/fire…. - Ian
