Feedback about FUDCon Brno was all incredibly positive, and we'll bring FUDCon back to Brno for sure. However, the one thing that we heard was to make sure that we move the event around Europe, to encourage folks from all over the region to attend. Therefore, the Fedora Project is pleased to announce that our next Fedora Users and Developers Conference (FUDCon) will take place in Berlin from June 26 - 28, 2009. This year in Berlin, we are partnering with LinuxTag -- one of the largest FOSS events in Europe -- to help make FUDCon happen this year. LinuxTag takes place from Wednesday June 24 - Saturday June 27, and FUDCon will take place from Friday the 26th - Sunday the 28th, meaning that there will be two days of overlap during which a large number of people who would otherwise never attend a FUDCon will have a chance to see Fedora up close, and in great detail. FUDCon will consist of: * pre-scheduled technical and user-focused talks on Friday and Saturday. * a "BarCamp" on one of the days of the event. * two days of hackfests, focusing on Fedora 12 and upstream projects that are important to the Fedora Project. * a social event. === The purpose of this message is: (0) To give people general information about this year's event. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Berlin_2009 (1) To encourage people to pre-register for the event, because this helps us tremendously with our planning. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDConBerlin2009_attendees We are working on a hotel deal that will allow us to have a huge block of double rooms at a reasonable price. Please stay tuned for lodging information regarding FUDCon. (2) To ask that anyone who is interested in giving a talk at FUDCon sign up. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_Berlin_and_LinuxTag_2009_talks === I think that the wiki pages are pretty clear, and I hope that this email has been informative as well. If there are any questions about FUDCon, or about anything related to Fedora or community activities in the EMEA region, please don't hesitate to send me an email.

I'm about to push an update to Rawhide for rb_libtorrent 0.14.2; but this update contains a soname bump: from "libtorrent-rasterbar.so.1" to "libtorrent-rasterbar.so.2". According to repoquery, there are four other packages in Fedora which use rb_libtorrent (maintainers CC-ed), as follows: ? Deluge (which I maintain in Fedora) and Miro both use rb_libtorrent only through its python bindings and thus should not be affected by the update. ? QBitTorrent needs only an EVR bump and rebuild for the update. A brief test build did not reveal any errors from this soname bump, and after that it seems to run just fine. I can take care of the bump & rebuild if you'd like. Just let me know. :) ? linkage still has not been updated upstream yet to work with the API/ABI changes from 0.13.x to 0.14.x; and also does not build with this update.

This is a genuinely new feature that does not try to ape what other operating systems do and play on Linux's traditional attention to localization and internationalization. It's a free/libre alternative to the DRM-ed distribution channels proprietary foundries are pushing right now?. However, awesome new installation code is not sufficient. To work well this feature requires a large and sane font package pool to draw on. To provide this pool the Fonts SIG has worked hard to define clear and sane packaging guidelines last year?. The maintainers of affected packages were notified two months ago of needed changes?. However, while many reacted fast, others have still not started looking at it?. With only one month left before Fedora 11 beta it's time for others to step up and help adapt the remaining packages. Please take a look at the bugzilla tracker?, adopt an open bug, and propose spec file changes there. Extensive documentation was written? for this operation and you do not need to be a font expert to participate. Also, changing such a large pool of packages is never mistake-free, and we also need testers to QA? the changes.

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Mass_Rebuild for details. Most importantly, if you as a maintainer wish to build your own package for this rebuild instead of having the script do it, follow https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Mass_Rebuild#How_do_I_opt_out_of_the_scripted_rebuild.3F The script will be doing things one package at a time, so even though the script will be starting in a few minutes (and it'll be working alphanumerically in descending order), you still have a window to opt-out of the build before the script gets to your package. I will be announcing the progress of the rebuilds over the next few days. It is important to note that the results of the rebuilds will not be showing up in rawhide (and koji buildroots) immediately. Instead they will be contained on the side until the script is finished building things, and they will be tagged into rawhide (dist-f11) en masse. If your build was started after 2009-02-23 18:31:07 UTC, the script will not touch your package, as that is after all the proper parts were in place for this rebuild.

Turns out there was an error in my script and the first few packages rebuilt did actually make it into dist-f11.

This is important for our beta release notes, beta announcement, and testing focus for Fedora 11.

Please complete this as soon as possible and no later than 2009-03-03 so that we all have clear sense where we stand going into the beta release. I will be sending the feature list to FESCo for their review at their 2009-03-06 meeting. At that meeting I will recommend that feature pages which are not current be dropped from the Fedora 11 feature list. If you believe your feature is not ready for Fedora 11, that is okay :) Fedora 12 is only a few short months away. If you would like to target your feature for Fedora 12, please change the page category to "Cateogory:FeatureReadyForWranger". If your feature will not be ready for Fedora 11 and you aren't sure what is going to happen to it: 1) Please change the category of your page to Category:FeaturePageIncomplete 2) Remove Fedora 11 as the targeted release. I have a watch on all the feature pages and will update the summary page accordingly.

Things are going very smoothly. Some interesting numbers: Roughly 5650 submissions have been made to the build system thus far. Roughly 4640 builds have completed in dist-f11-rebuild. Of those, 4585 would be tagged into dist-f11 if we started tagging today. Checking the builds in both dist-f11 and dist-f11-rebuild for things that have been built after the run started shows 2201 builds still needing to be done. There have been 505 build failures (these will be posted later broken down by maintainer), although some of these were due to buildsystem errors and have been resubmitted. There are so far 68 packages that failed in some way or another prior to the build submission that have to be manually looked at. All in all it has been quite smooth, and I'm very impressed at how well the buildsystem has handled the onslaught of builds. At first, ppc builders were the bottle neck, but the Infrastructure rock stars were able to bring a couple more PPC builders online. After that the CVS server quickly became the bottleneck, slowing down my ability to submit packages faster than the buildsystem could handle them. At that point I broke my script apart and had multiple threads submitting builds at the same time which enabled me to fill the build queue once again. We're down to a final thread, working its way through the p packages (into perl-H* now). If the buildsystem catches up, I'll break that further down into threads. I expect the builds to finish by Friday or Saturday of this week, and then I'll start the tagging. The rawhide report for the next day will be late, and probably too big to post to the mailing list. Rest assured, every package changed (: -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom? is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The output is an html page broken down by packager. Each package listed under the packager is a link to the latest failed build attempt. Shortly I'll setup a cron job to keep this list updated every 10 minutes or so. http://jkeating.fedorapeople.org/failed-f11-rebuilds.html If you have a package on this list, please fix the build error and do a normal build (make build). Your package will go into dist-f11 and this script will see that it has been fixed and no longer report it. Since builds are still ongoing, more failures may be added to the list. Please check back often.

Of those 6117 need to be tagged. Down to 450 failed builds that need attention. 512 builds that still need to be done or otherwise accounted for (like dead packages that haven't been blocked). 76 failures in the build submission path that need to be examined. Extremely impressive for 4~ days of work. In just a few minutes I'll be kicking off the tag submissions, which will likely completely overload the buildsystem for at least an hour, although I'm just guessing. We've never submitted this many tag requests with this many active builders with their new algorithms for taking tasks. The tag requests should be without email to save some spam. Syncing rawhide tomorrow will be quite slow and painful. I'll post a raw unbuilt list to go along with our failure list a little later today and I'll be working through the packages that didn't quite make it through the submission process. All in all though I'd consider this quite successful! -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom? is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hrm, apparently the method I used to bypass email makes the tag actions /extremely/ fast. All 6115 builds were tagged in just a few seconds. yay! -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom? is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Again it is broken down by maintainer and the packages are links to koji for a view of activity. It'll update every 10 minutes, as long as my laptop stays connected to the net. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom? is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
