Fedora Project Contributor Agreement Draft Revision Posted (Replacement for Fedora Individual Contributor License Agreement)
by Tom Callaway 28 May '10

28 May '10

Hi Fedora! Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on the Fedora Project Contributor Agreement (FPCA). We listened to your concerns, and have amended the draft slightly. Here are the key changes that we've made: 1) We removed undefined references to "free". 2) We replaced the term "electronic" with "digital". 3) Most importantly, we made several changes to explicitly address the problem of reuse of default-licensed CC-BY-SA content within GPL-covered works. (Basically, we added a GPL exception.) The full text of the revised FPCA, along with a FAQ, can be found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Revised_Fedora_CLA_Draft Fedora Legal wishes to give the Fedora community a window of time for discussion and review of the revised FPCA. Due to the fact that the changes are relatively minor, and the original draft has been open for comments for some time now, this second window is open until June 4, 2010 (2010-06-04). After that point, either another revised FPCA will be released for review, or we will begin the process of phasing in the FPCA and phasing out the Fedora ICLA. Thanks in advance, Tom "spot" Callaway, Fedora Legal

Provenpackager and Sponsor guidelines change
by Kevin Fenzi 12 May '10

12 May '10

Greetings. At today's fesco meeting we approved a change in the way we handle provenpackager and sponsor nominations. Old policy: - Candidate files a ticket in the fesco trac instance. - FESCo chair sends a email to sponsors for feedback. - After a week FESCo looks at feedback and votes at their next meeting. New Policy: - Candidate files a ticket in the fesco trac instance. - FESCo chair sends an email to sponsors. - After a week, if more than 3 (three) sponsors provide positive feedback, the candidate is approved. - If the candidate has any negative or veto votes, then FESCo looks at feedback at their next meeting and votes. See https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/376 for more information, or feel free to reply to me for any clarifications. I think I have updated the parts of the wiki affected by this, please let me know or just fix any you spot otherwise. kevin

One week slip of Fedora 13 release
by Paul W. Frields 12 May '10

12 May '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The F13 final readiness meeting, also known as the "go/no-go" meeting, was held this evening. As the meeting notes indicate, there are bugs remaining on the blocker list: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-May/090880.html According to the release criteria[1], the decision was made to slip the release of Fedora 13 by one week, to Tuesday 2010-05-25. During composition of any further release candidates, the Fedora Release Engineering and Quality Assurance teams plan to be conservative in accepting fixes for the release, and will limit these to blocker items and critical fixes. The Fedora 13 release schedule[2] has been updated to reflect the new release date. We regret any inconvenience to the community. Thank you for your patience as we try to ensure the best possible Fedora release. * * * [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_13_Final_Release_Criteria [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/13/Schedule - -- Paul W.

Fedora 13 Release Candidate Phase
by Jesse Keating 11 May '10

11 May '10

Fedora 13 has released Release Candidate stage. We have reached a state where the known blockers were fixed and were able to make a release candidate. This happened last Thursday, and almost immediately we found a need to spin a second release candidate. From this point on, only items critical to the release will be tagged into the branched Fedora 13 repo. I'm currently doing the first push of Fedora 13 stable updates. These will be what we call "0-day" updates, that is updates available at release time. Things in the bodhi update system for Fedora 13 can now be pushed "stable" to this updates repo. This allows our maintainers to continue to improve Fedora 13 as release engineering and QA finalize the release bits. If you have a bug that you think is critical to the release of Fedora 13 and must be fixed on the media, please make your bug block "F13Blocker". We will be reviewing the contents of this blocker bug frequently throughout the days as we near our go / no go decision. Thank you for your hard work in making Fedora 13 an awesome release! -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

new qt-webkit-devel
by Rex Dieter 07 May '10

07 May '10

In anticipation of nokia's plans to ship a separate qtwebkit, we've split this out into separate packaging in rawhide's qt-4.7.0-0.10 (and newer) qt-webkit qt-webkit-devel So, if you have a package that needs this at build time, you will now need to use (preferably): BuildRequires: qt4-webkit-devel or BuildRequires: qt-webkit-devel To ease migration, I also added similar Provides: to qt-4.6.2-18+ builds for previous releases, which will be issued as updates at earliest prudence. -- Rex
