From jkeating at redhat.com Wed Oct 3 21:18:03 2007 From: jkeating at redhat.com (Jesse Keating) Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2007 17:18:03 -0400 Subject: Freeze over for Fedora 8 Test 3 - Still in continual development freeze Message-ID: <20071003171803.324a63a9@redhat.com> We have lifted the Fedora 8 Test 3 freeze from rawhide. Builds from devel/ now continue to go into rawhide each night. However we are still under continual development freeze so we ask you to please keep your changes to bugfix in nature. This is somewhat self policing, as an attempt to lower the bar for getting fixes into the release. The other side of this is an attempt at freeing up developers to work on F9 stuff. To that end we are now processing F-8 branch requests. If you request your package be branched for F-8, a branch will be made based on content currently in devel/. Builds from F-8/ will obviously go to the dist-f8 collection and thus rawhide/release. For packages that are branched, builds from devel/ will go to dist-f9 and be held there for the start of Fedora 9 development. If a package isn't branched yet, builds from devel/ continue to go to dist-f8.

If there is functionality that is not completed, please rework the feature page to reflect what is finished for Fedora 8 so that the feature can be considered "complete" as described.

Message-ID: <1191508118.5234.11.camel@localhost.localdomain> Fedora 8 Test 3 is here! This is the last test release before the development freeze and a great time to test all those packages that you know and love. Test 3 is for beta users. This is the time when we must have full community participation. Without this participation both hardware and software functionality suffers. Fedora is a Linux-based operating system that showcases the latest in free and open source software. Fedora is always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. It is built by people across the globe who work together as a community: the Fedora Project. The Fedora Project is open and anyone is welcome to join. Up-to-date release notes for Fedora 8 Test 3 can be found at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes. == Changes from Fedora 8 Test 2 == * Online Desktop provides a desktop experience designed around online services. A preview of Online Desktop is provided via BigBoard, which is a optional sidebar in GNOME. * KDE 3.5.7 is available in the KDE Live image as well as the regular DVD. The KDE 4 (Beta) Development Environment is available in the repository. * Live installations are faster and require a smaller root filesystem. The file system layout has also changed somewhat. System files for the Live images are now under `LiveOS/`, and a new `README` file has been provided as a short introduction to the live image. * Package management now features much better performance via `yum` and friends. * The completely free and open source Java environment called Iced Tea is installed by default. Iced Tea is derived from OpenJDK, includes a browser plugin based on GCJ, and is available for both x86 and x86_64 architectures. GCJ is still the default on PPC architecture. * CodecBuddy is now included, and promotes free, superior quality, open formats to end users trying to play multimedia content under patent encumbered or proprietary formats. * Bluetooth devices and tools now have better graphical and system integration. * Laptop users benefit from the "quirks" features in HAL, including better suspend/resume and multimedia keyboard support. * There is now improved power management thanks to both a tickless kernel in `x86` and `x86_64` architectures, and a reduction in unnecessary processor wakeups via `powertop`. * Eclipse 3.3 (Europa), a new release of the great IDE and development platform, is available as part of this release. * The `pam_console` module has been removed in favor of access control via HAL, which modernizes the desktop. * NetworkManager 0.7 provides improved wireless network management support. It includes support for multiple devices and provides the capability of system-wide configuration, among many other enhancements. This transition may induce some regressions temporarily, and more testing and feedback is appreciated. * Secure remote management capability is now provided for Xen, KVM, and QEMU virtualization. * Transifex provides a web-based translation interface to allow users to contribute translation work for Fedora hosted projects as well as being able to provide translations to upstream directly to any upstream project. * Integration of unique build IDs into Fedora's software building infrastructure now provide enhanced debugging capabilities and core dumps. * Fedora now offers easier rebranding of Fedora derivatives via a `generic-logos` software package. Changes in Fedora's mirror structure also make creation of derivatives easier. * Fedora now includes support for Nepali Language, extending its reach to many more users. === What's New in Fedora 8 === * A major list of features is available at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/FeatureList. === Release Schedule for Fedora 8 === * The Fedora 8 release schedule can be found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/Schedule. Fedora 8 is scheduled for general release on 8 November 2007. === How to Get Fedora 8 Test 3 === * Fedora 8 Test 3 can be installed via Live image, regular DVD, or via network installation. You can find the DVD images as well as the primary live images at: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/7.92/ * You can also download the DVD and Live images via bittorrent at: http://torrent.fedoraproject.org * More information on the various spins available with the release of Fedora 8 Test 3 is available at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F8Test3/Spins People who are already running the rawhide (development) branch of Fedora or any of the previous test releases can simply run `yum update`. (Some current Rawhide packages might be newer than Fedora 8 Test 3 packages.) We also appreciate new installation testing for feedback on changes to the Anaconda installer. == Known Issues == * [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=302381 Bug 302381] If you are installing via DVD or also possibly NFS-mounted ISO images, the Add/Remove Programs application (`pirut`) may crash when run, with a traceback about HAL.

The failure was during the interaction with packagedb to request all the branches, not actually during the CVS operations to create the branch. We will be trying again this evening to create all the branches once we've successfully requested them all through packagedb. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Please review the document linked below. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Koji/GarbageCollection As part of garbage collection, builds that are no longer needed will be deleted. The owner of the build will receive an email notification of the impending deletion and there is a grace period. To reduce the amount of email, multiple notifications to the same user will be combined into one message. If you receive such a notification, deleting the builds is most likely the right thing. If you feel differently, please see the document linked above for instructions. The initial collection of builds that can be deleted will happen tonight. Because there is an urgent need to free space on the Koji server, we will be shortening the grace period during the initial rollout. This means that you will need to act fast if you need to save a build that you receive a notification about. The first round of deletions will kick in late Friday evening. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

This proposed set of changes has been reviewed on fedora-devel-list and other lists for a period of time and input has been incorporated as best it could. Now it's coming time for FESCo to vote on adopting the new development cycle. Since this has such far reaching implications we want to give you all enough heads up so that you can either prepare arguments ahead of time or show up for the FESCo meeting [2] and discuss it there. Thank you for your time.

We will be using very strict means of determining what a release blocking issue is. This is the final stretch, my goals are to have a complete package set tomorrow morning for doing the final composes. Unless something goes horribly wrong, the final kernel build will be kernel-2.6.23.1-41.fc8 which is currently available in the buildroots. If you have software that builds against the kernel now would be the time to build it and alert rel-eng at fedoraproject.org so that we can tag those builds for the release. Thank you all for all your help making Werewolf be an awesome release! -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Everyone knows '42' is the one true answer to everything. Seriously, one more build. Coming soon to a koji near you. Dave -- http://www.codemonkey.org.uk
