It enables the fedora and updates repos, and disables the rawhide repo. Mirrormanager will redirect requests for the fedora 11 repo to the public rawhide directory until we're ready to release. This allows people to easily transition into the Fedora 11 release without having to modify config files. If you wish to remain on Fedora 11, make sure that the .repo files as shipped with this package are the ones in use. Check for .rpmnew files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and compare them to your existing .repo files to take into account any new configuration. We do have a number of Fedora 11 updates and testing updates already pushed, these are things that maintainers felt were not suitable to break the devel freeze and instead wished to push them as "zero day" updates. Feedback in bodhi would be greatly appreciated for these packages if you wish to try them. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom? is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

With each new Fedora release comes some Bugzilla housekeeping. This e-mail is designed to let you know about two things happening around May 26, 2009 (Fedora 11 day) and what you need to do, if anything. (1) We will be automatically changing the version all rawhide bugs to Fedora 11. This will result in regular bugs reported against rawhide during the Fedora 11 development cycle being changed to version '11' instead of their current assignment, 'rawhide'. This is done in order to more accurately tell where in the lineage of releases the bug was last reported because over time 'rawhide' becomes ambiguous. Note that this procedure does not apply to bugs that are against component 'Package Review' or bugs that have the 'FutureFeature' or 'Tracking' keywords set. They will stay open as rawhide bugs indefinitely. If you do not want your bugs changed to version '11', add the FutureFeature keyword. If you need help changing a large amount of bugs manually, we'd be glad to help. Stop by #fedora-bugzappers on irc.freenode.net and we'll help you. (2) All bugs for upcoming EOL releases (at this point, Fedora 9) will get a comment on release day, explaining that one month of maintenance remains. These bugs must move to a later version if still applicable or they will be automatically closed in one month with a resolution of WONTFIX. More about these processes is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Thanks for reading, John (for the Bug Triage team) From rdieter at math.unl.edu Thu May 14 17:41:06 2009 From: rdieter at math.unl.edu (Rex Dieter) Date: Thu, 14 May 2009 12:41:06 -0500 Subject: kde-4.3 beta1 incoming to F-12 branch Message-ID: <4A0C57B2.5000408@math.unl.edu> The KDE SIG has begun importing and building kde-4.3beta1 in the F-12/ branch.

Please remember as you add names to make sure there are at least a few ways to link *out* of the name. If you find an F12 name that has something in common with F11, but no other significance, it probably won't make a good name. For instance, I see a great name, "Hippocoon," on the list already, which has no other significance I can find beyond its connection with F11 (also a Spartan king). That means we can't easily link *from* Hippocoon to something else for F13, and this name will likely be cut from the list. The Board and I are going to have to go through these names manually, so we do ask that you give us a hand in advance by thinking through *each* of your name suggestions carefully, according to all the guidelines on the wiki page.

Nominations are now open for the five open seats on FESCo. The following members have terms expiring this cycle: * Kevin Fenzi * Dennis Gilmore * Bill Nottingham * Brian Pepple * David Woodhouse Any interested Fedora packager may run for FESCo, the only requirement is membership in the 'packager' group in FAS. Especially noteworthy is that 'provenpackager' or sponsor status is not required - this keeps the bar low for new members.

The change is important but invasive enough to require re-validating our storage tests. We were already late in producing the Release Candidate and there is not enough time to produce another one and validate it in time for next Tuesday's release date. Therefor we have decided to enact another week long slip of the release. This gives us time to create a second release candidate and fully validate it and hand it off to the mirrors in plenty of time to sync up for the new release date of June 9th. As much as we regret slipping, we also wish to avoid easily trigger-able bugs in our release, particularly in software that cannot be fixed with a 0-day update. At this time we would only accept tag requests for critical issues.

This activity day is for maintainers, QA, and release engineering folks to meet and discuss ongoing issues with the Fedora Development Cycle and to create a proposal on how to fix many of the issues. Note, this is not an event to decide on a solution, it is an event to decide on a proposal, which will then be shared with the whole community for more input and work. The timing of this is very short, so that we may have a chance at changing something within the Fedora 12 development cycle. Funding for the event was only confirmed a day or two ago, hence the late notice. If unable to attend (which most will be) but highly interested in helping with the process, we will be attempting to setup a Fedora Talk conference room to use throughout the event, as well as an IRC channel. We'll try to blog the process as well and gather feedback to be used during the event. If you will be able to attend in person, please add your name to the wiki page [1] so that we can properly plan the space needed within RHT. While the wiki page says that the page is still under construction, the dates are solid, the hours during the day are mostly solid, and the location (one of the RHT buildings) is solid. Please feel free to use the discussion page on the wiki to express your thoughts about the event and what problems you're having with the development cycle. Even thoughts on the initial proposal I drew up at the bottom of the wiki page would be welcome, although I do believe that this event will result in a proposal different from what is currently listed. Again we apologize for the short notice!
