Thank You
by Dallas Slieker 22 Oct '06

22 Oct '06

This is a simple thank you to all the developers out there working on their various Fedora-Related projects. In the midst of all the reported problems and debates, I think you should all take a small moment out of your busy schedules to pat yourselves on the back for being one of the very few in the world that understand and do what you do. *round of applause* I can't wait to secure a schedule that will enable me to begin helping out, and I certainly can't wait to get my hands on FC6! Viva La Fedora! -- Dallas Slieker

Another slip in the FC6 schedule
by Jesse Keating 22 Oct '06

22 Oct '06

Over the weekend we ran into a few more bugs with Fedora Core 6 that we decided were important enough to fix. There were some multilib compose issues (wrong packages landing in the wrong dirs), some translation files that would cause tracebacks in things like anaconda (whoops), and a fedora-release package that forgot to enable updates (double whoops). For these reasons and a few others, we decided to respin the release candidate tree and push the release date out another couple of days. The current plan is to spin a release candidate this evening with some last minute fixes, and start the sync. Validation has gone very well up to this point and baring any blow ups in the spin process, the release looks very solid. We're planning to release on Thursday Oct 19th. This should give the mirrors enough days to sync up. If things blow up horribly and we have to spin again tomorrow, depending on what time we have to respin we may slip until next week, as releasing on Fridays or Mondays gets you the wrath of the mirror admins (: I want to thank you all for playing along and helping us to make FC6 the best release yet! -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora -- fedora-announce-list mailing list fedora-announce-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list

Fedora Core 6 release date slip
by Jesse Keating 22 Oct '06

22 Oct '06

We regret to announce a slip of the Fedora Core 6 release schedule. A few issues are still present that we would like to see fixed before we release. - Possible ext3 corruption bug - Installs with 256megs of ram stall - Package ordering issues on multilib platforms (x86_64, ppc64) - SELinux issue with updating kernels on ppc platforms - iscsi based installations not functional There are obviously other issues and bugs still open, but these are the ones that are really "blocking" the release. To give enough time to fix these issues, we've extended the release date 6 days to Tuesday, Oct 17th. Freezes are still in place (even more so now). Your extra careful testing of rawhide over the next few days would greatly be appreciated. Keep an eye on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Core/Schedule for any changes. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora -- fedora-announce-list mailing list fedora-announce-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list

mono vs exec-shield
by Alexander Larsson 22 Oct '06

22 Oct '06

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=210830 describes an issue where mono crashes on startup with later kernels that have exec-shield enabled. I don't see this on my Core Duo machine, so I don't know exactly what machines see this. Anyone else see this? Mono does use mprotect to make the heap pages executable. Is there something in exec-shield prohibiting this for some machines? If so, is there a way to disable this for the mono binary? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc alexl(a)redhat.com alla(a)lysator.liu.se He's a benighted zombie gentleman spy on a search for his missing sister.

On encouraging Macromedia & others to supply repos for Fedora
by Benjy Grogan 21 Oct '06

21 Oct '06

When I installed the flash-plugin during FC5 first days out of the womb it was a one shot deal. I used the Macromedia repo that Warren Togami announced <http://lwn.net/Articles/176376/> and was automatically offered all security updates that followed. Will Fedora re-announce that deal with FC6, and are there any other repo deals in the making with other ISVs? Google, Skype, and Sun Microsystems would be good candidates. I wouldn't mind being offered Google Earth and Picasa updates as they come about. Benjy

feedback: fc5 and fc6t3 x86_64
by Chitlesh GOORAH 21 Oct '06

21 Oct '06

Hello there, I've just received some feedback from 3 users with fc5 and fc6t3 x86_64. All the three of them: yum is downloading both 32 bits and 64 bit versions of the same packages, hence during installation there are conflicts. Is this a known issue ? is there a solution and in fc6 will it be corrected? chitlesh -- http://clunixchit.blogspot.com
