From poelstra at redhat.com Thu Jan 3 07:40:14 2008 From: poelstra at redhat.com (John Poelstra) Date: Wed, 02 Jan 2008 23:40:14 -0800 Subject: Fedora 9 Feature Status Message-ID: <477C915E.4080402@redhat.com> Happy New Year! I've updated http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Dashboard to reflect the latest proposed features. Lots of good things are happening. I've added a new section for features I've found on the wiki that say that they are targeted for Fedora 9, yet haven't been brought forward for official acceptance. In many cases the feature pages are really close, yet some sections are still blank. In order to have your feature accepted for Fedora 9 it does not have to be fully complete at this time. A completed feature page (all sections--including "not applicable" as necessary) is needed by so that FESCo has all the information it needs for consideration. The accepted feature page for Fedora 9 continues to grow here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/9/FeatureList Thank you feature page owners and Fedora innovators!

Message-ID: <20080107133831.6d68c01c@redhat.com> As per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/9/Schedule the alpha freeze is the 15th. This is a non-blocking freeze, as in we won't be freezing rawhide. Instead releng will be taking a snapshot (in koji) of rawhide and using this as the basis for the Alpha release. We will tag things for this snapshot at our discretion in coordination with QA. Maintainers can also request things be tagged via rel-eng at fedoraproject.org Now would be a great time to either land changes you want exposure to, or fix up those broken deps/upgrade paths/etc... -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Friday is a hackfest day. Those of you who are here and participating in hackfests should meet at the State Club on NCSU's centennial campus at about 9:30 AM. From there, we will let people know the lunch plans, and also sort out which hackfests we want to concentrate on, and where there are rooms that can be used. Please try to coordinate with the folks who have cars at the hotel for transportation. Saturday and Sunday both take place at Red Hat's actual headquarters. BarCamp is Saturday starting at 9:00 (doors open around 8:30 with coffee and stuff). Sunday will be another hackfest day starting about 9:30. Again, please try to coordinate rides with the folks who have cars at the hotel. A decent number will, and the hotel is only about a 5 minute drive from the hackfest and BarCamp locations. For folks getting to and from the airport, please see this page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConF9/ParticipantTravelPlans If you are participating in a hackfest and incur costs traveling from Airport to Hotel, get a receipt and Fedora will pay you back.

It's a really nice building with meeting rooms, a very nice lunch that you will partake in, etc. You'll love it, really. Turns out though, that there is a "no jeans, no shorts" dress code. So for all of you hackers -- bring a pair of khakis with you. If you wanted to wear a polo shirt, that would really knock their socks off. :) The actual Saturday FUDCon and Sunday hackfests -- clothing required, but that is all.

As time is tight we can't stagger these outages over a period of days and will have to do them all within a 48 hour period. Please contact me for specific questions.

The current state of rawhide and the inability to install rawhide for many weeks now does not give us confident in a successful Alpha. We're giving the installer team an extra week to fix things up so that we have a better chance at a wide Alpha use. Releng/QA will revisit again next week during the release engineering meeting to give a go/no-go vote on enacting the freeze for Alpha. The schedule[1] has been updated to reflect this. No other dates have been adjusted at this point.

The package repository has been built for ARMv5 EABI, soft-float, little endian. The majority of the important and frequently used Fedora packages have been built for ARM. The Fedora/ARM architecture wiki page has more info: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM The easiest way to start using Fedora 8/ARM is to download the prebuilt root filesystem, which can be booted in QEMU, or chroot'ed into or booted from on any ARMv5 or later processor running in little endian mode. Additional packages can be installed by using yum, which is provided in the filesystem. A HOWTO which describes getting Fedora/ARM running in QEMU is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/HowToQemu There currently are a handful of known issues, which are described at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/TODO Please help us by using the Fedora/ARM port and reporting any issues you run into so that we can fix them. thanks, Lennert From notting at redhat.com Fri Jan 18 15:50:35 2008 From: notting at redhat.com (Bill Nottingham) Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2008 10:50:35 -0500 Subject: rawhide broken dependency reports for today...

Systems affected seem to include bodhi, koji, account system, and possibly others. The reason for the outage is still being investigated, as well as attempts to restore service. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

The timing is such so that tomorrow's rawhide (20080122) will be the same package set as the alpha. Our plan is to test it up a bit and have a set of packages ready by Thursday/Friday. We will be taking tag requests, but since this is Alpha, and since rawhide will continue on unblocked we'd rather it be a pretty important reason to do the tagging. We're mostly concentrating on being able to install, and from there get updates.

If you have not updated the status and % completion of your feature in the last few days, please do so now. Keeping this information current helps the people interested in testing new functionality and marketing folks who want to start getting up to speed with what is coming in Fedora 9. This would also be a great time to start filling out the "Release Notes" and "Documentation" sections of your feature page--particularly if it is presently blank. The Documentation Team is eager to start preparing the release notes and documentation for Fedora 9 so the sooner you get that information in the sooner they start working on it. The following accepted features have not been recently updated OR have empty "Release Notes" and/or "Documentation" sections.

I have not raised these features to FESCo for a vote because certain parts of the pages are incomplete and it doesn't make sense for FESCo to review a feature when all the information is not present. 1) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GCC4.3 -- need a link to owner contact information; contingency plan and release notes sections are blank; need to discuss impact on mass rebuild of Fedora 9 (2008-01-02) 2) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EFI -- a few sections still need to be completed (2007-01-14) 3) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/JigdoRelease -- some of the TBDs need to be completed, particularly "contingency plan" and "dependencies" (2008-01-03) 4) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureEncryptedFilesystems -- documentation and release notes sections are empty (2008-01-14) In addition, the following features are targeted for Fedora 9 in their writeup, but are not in CategoryProposedFedora9. If you have no intention of completing them for Fedora 9, please remove Fedora 9 as the targeted release so that there is no confusion that it will not be in Fedora 9.
