Thanks again
by Andy Lawrence
Like to once again say thanks for all the hard work! I started as a
Linux newbie back when Fedora first started. Within a couple weeks I
jumped on the Rawhide wagon anxious to see all the new features and
changes. The occasional development bugs/hiccups is what has taught
me Linux over the years! I have been m$ free for years now and have
all of you guys to thank! Couldn't be happier!
F9 is better than ever.....Looking forward to F29

More Java guidelines questions
by Jerry James
I've just been looking at bug 262401 [1] to see what I need to do to
update it to the new Java packaging guidelines. I have 2 new
questions about the guidelines.
First, the guidelines say that I must both Requires and Build-Requires
jpackage-utils. This bit of code needs nothing in jpackage-utils that
I can discern. It has no external dependencies, doesn't ship with any
binary blobs, etc. The guidelines say must, so I'll do it, but what
is the rationale?
Second, the GCJ guidelines say, "For Fedora versions < 8, no JDK was
available other than GCJ so GCJ AOT bits MUST be present." This
presents a problem for the package in question, because it consists of
annotations only. They are Java 1.5 annotations, so the GCJ in F7 can
produce the needed class files. But there is no actual code to
compile, so there is nothing for the GCJ AOT bits to do. Can an
exception be granted to annotation-only packages (not that there are
likely to be many of those)?

iwl3945 driver channel capability
by Camilo Mesias
Hi,
does anyone know what determines the range of channels available with
this driver? I ask after spending some time debugging a network set to
channel 13, where most devices worked fine but the iwl3945 driven
device in the laptop would not scan beyond channel 11.
I understand that there are 11 channels authorised in the USA, 13 in
Europe and 14 in Japan, and that the hardware should be configurable
to support all of them - I'm just not sure where to configure the
iwl3945 driver. There are often 11 or more networks visible where I
live, and there are microwave ovens, bluetooth devices and DECT phones
all sharing the airwaves, so every channel counts.
The iwl3945 website talks about a 'userspace regulatory daemon' which
has been replaced by logic in the firmware. How then do we tell the
firmware which region it is in?
Is there a 'right way' in Fedora to determine how these sorts of
things should be set up? Maybe depend on the time zone?

EeePC and Fedora 9
by Yaakov Nemoy
Hey List,
I'm getting an Eee PC for a friend, to give to him at the end of next
month. Rather than give it to him with the Xandros setup, I want to
have it running Fedora 9, in time for the release. Plus, it'll be
nice to know in time for LinuxTag if Sulphur will run on it cleanly or
not. Where can I find either images for Fedora 9, or how can I go
about building them, so I can test it?
Cheers,
Yaakov

If you don't understand why I'm asking you to read this page, read it
again a few times and reflect on some of the recent threads on

Headsup: new soname changing ImageMagick heading for F-10
by Hans de Goede
Hi All,
I've recently become a co-maintainer of ImageMagick and after this new build
hits rawhide, the open bug count on ImageMagick drops from 24 to 1 (a switch to
NSS as cryptolib bug).
Unfortunately the latest upstream releases changes the locations of header
files (pkg-config users should be fine) and changes the library names from:
libMagick -> libMagickCore
libWand -> libMagickWand
So any packages using the ImageMagick libs will need to be rebuild.
Here is the list from repoquery:
