Contributors can make suggestions for the name for Fedora 13 by visiting https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Name_suggestions_for_Fedora_13 and following the instructions.

We're doing something a little different this time around. The releases/12/Everything/ tree will be open to the public as it gets staged. This will allow us to give people who have "Fedora 12" installed now access to the "fedora" repo. We will then be able to move rawhide along to Fedora 13. The Fedora/ and Live/ trees will remain locked until our release date. On this Saturday or Sunday rawhide will have Fedora 13 content. Users of rawhide right now do not need to do anything to keep on Fedora 12. Unless you have modified your /etc/yum.repos.d/ files, you will stay on Fedora 12 as we transition. Those of you that wish to move along to Fedora 13 rawhide will need to modify your fedora-rawhide.repo file and keep it enabled, while disabling fedora and fedora-updates repos.

If these emails mentioned that the deps were broken on ppc or ppc64 they can be ignored. We are no longer producing ppc/ppc64 as a primary arch, however we forgot to tag the config change that enacted this on our compose tools. We were attempting to compose ppc(64) trees with only noarch packages, and well things didn't work so hot. We should have this fixed today so that future emails about broken deps will be about actual broken deps, not broken configurations.

Sorry for > the mailbombing. > *sigh* While we were successful in building a new mash package that would avoid making ppc repos, we forgot to update one of the rawhide creation configs so that it used dist-f13 content as opposed to dist-f12. So the rawhide creation process has been using dist-f12 content all this time to build up the chroot, which would then compose dist-f13 content. This means that the dist-f12 version of mash was used, not the dist-f13 version we built to disable ppc. I've corrected that. Third try to kill the ppc deps should be the charm. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom? is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Never one to sit still development has already begun on F13, and with it comes a new bug triage work flow. For bugs filed against F13(rawhide) and beyond the keyword "Triaged" will now be used to indicate that a bug report has been triaged. BugZappers will no longer change the bug state to ASSIGNED, that will now be left in the hands of the package maintainers. BugZappers will still be using the NEEDINFO flag and closing reports as duplicates. The wiki will soon be updated to reflect these changes.

To top that we are also preparing for KDE 4.4 beta 1; so don't expect a quick resolution, in fact things will get worse before they get better.
