Attention Rawhide Users: synce upgrade
by Andreas Bierfert
Hi folks,
I am planning over the next couple of days to upgrade all synce components to
latest upstream. I don't think any rebuilds will be needed but its good to
mention it here anyway. If there are any issues let me know.
Best Regards,
Andreas

Merge reviews targeted for F9
by Jason L Tibbitts III
FESCo has identified a base set of merge which we'd like to see
completed by F9 release. We've generated the list by asking pungi to
gather a minimal set of packages consisting of the mandatory members
of group @base plus their dependencies and the kernel. This may not
constitute a bootable system but it's at least a start.
Of the initial set, 63 reviews had not yet been completed. As I type
this, a couple of additional have been closed, leaving 61, some of
which are currently assigned. The current status and full list are
available by viewing the F9MergeReviewTarget tracker bug:
----
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=F9MergeReviewTarget
----
Note that doing merge reviews is not much different than doing regular
reviews; the main difference is that the packages are already in the
distro and can be checked out of CVS. This makes it easy to see the
built packages and also to tweak the specfiles and generate patches.
Reviewers are encouraged to attach patches to the review tickets to
speed up the process; in some cases, the maintainer may ask you simply
to commit agreed-upon fixes.
So, 61 reviews to go. I'm going to try to do ten by FUDCon; we'll see
how far I can get. Anyone care to match me? And who is brave enough
to review glibc, gcc or the kernel?

Fedora Package Status of Dec 21, 2007
by Christian Iseli
Hi folks,
Here is this month's update (sorry for the slower update rate)... On
the bright side, the wiki update went so fast I just sat there blinking
for a while... To whoever made the wiki editing fast again: congrats
dude(s)!
There's a ton of open bug reports. The fact they all seem to have been
recently touched is, I hope, a sign something is actually happening to
close a bunch.
Cheers,
Christian

KDE-SIG weekly report (48/2007)
by Sebastian Vahl
This is a report of the weekly KDE-SIG-Meeting with a summary of the
topics that were discussed. If you want to add a comment please reply
to this email or add it to the related meeting page.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
= Weekly KDE Summary =
Week: 51/2007
Time: 2007-12-18 16:00 UTC
Meeting page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2007-12-18
Meeting log:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
= Agenda =
* Trolltech's Phonon GStreamer backend
* kdemultimedia3 compat package?
* API documentation
* Live images for KDE4
* development progress: the road to kde4
= Summary =
o Trolltech's Phonon GStreamer backend:
- Trolltech has committed a GStreamer backend for phonon which will likely
become the upstream default for kde 4.1
- We'll have to wait until it gets usuable and use xine-lib for now
o kdemultimedia3 compat package?
- at least taxipilot is relying on aRts-related libraries provided by
kdemultimedia 3 which has now broken dependencies
- Also it's possible that some apps will fail at runtime due to trying to load
some aRts modules which were in kdemultimedia3 and not finding them
- If we create a kdemultimedia3 we should make sure phonon, arts and
pulseaudio work together
- taxipilot itself isn't ported to kde 4 yet
- there was no consensus if we drop taxipilot because of it's unmaintained
kde4 state, patch it to don't use arts or create a kdemultimedia3 package
- If we create a kdemultimedia3 package we have to get it reviewed because
it's not existing in cvs
o API documentation:
- API documentation for kde 4 is currently not packaged but should be included
in the future as -apidocs subpackages
- A suggestion by RexDieter was to package them seperately to get them noarch
- But this would mean to duplicate many spec files
- the current decision was to package them as a part of the current specs
o Live images for KDE4:
- SebastianVahl created a tracker bug for monitoring the current MUST/SHOULD
solve issues for the live images: #421891 [1]
- #422061 is working with selinux in permissive mode since yesterdays rawhide
push [2]
- in comparison to the kde3 live images the following applications were
dropped: krusader, koffice-krita, twinkle and ktorrent
- the current package list: CurrentPackageList [3]
- One of the biggest remaining issues is the non-working installer (#424811).
[4] JeremyKatz said he has a hack to workaround this
o development progress: the road to kde4:
- kdeadmin, kaider and extragear-plasma are in rawhide now, kde-l10n is still
being reviewed (#421231). [5]
- the kde4 port of bluecurve is also awaiting review (#425872) [6]
- /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/common was splitted into a kdelibs-common subpackage
(# 417251) [7]
o recent bugs:
- flash plugin seems to be still not working on x86_64 (#410651) [8]
- but this seems to be an issue of nspluginwrapper and a separate bug report
against nspluginwrapper is needed
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
= Next Meeting =
Next tuesday is christmas holidays and the following tuesday is New Year. We
should find at least one date in this two weeks for a meeting. A proposal
would be 2007-12-03 at 1600 UTC:

Plan for tomorrows (20071220) FESCO meeting
by Brian Pepple
Hi,
Please find below the list of topics that are likely to come up in the
next FESCo meeting that is scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday at 18:00 UTC
in #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.org:
/topic MISC -
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JesseKeating/PackageACLOpening - f13
/topic MISC -
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JesseKeating/NewMaintainerContainment -
f13
/topic Status Update: Compat Policy
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JeremyKatz/DraftCompatPackages - jeremy
/topic FESCo meeting -- Free discussion around Fedora
You want something to be discussed? Send a note to the list in reply to
this mail and I'll add it to the schedule (I can't promise we will get
to it tomorrow, since we have a pretty full schedule). You can also
propose topics in the meeting while it is in the "Free discussion around
Fedora" phase.
If your name/nick is on above list please update the status on the
Extras schedule pages in the wiki ahead of the meeting. That way all the
other FESCo members and interested contributors know what up ahead of
the meeting. And we will avoid long delays in the meeting -- those often
arise if someone describes the recent happenings on a topic directly in
the meeting while all the others have to wait for his slow typing...
Later,
/B

rescue.iso images?
by Gilboa Davara
Hello all,
Please forgive me if it has been asked before, but, when can we expect
to see rawhide installation isos and/or vmlinuz+initrd sets?
I'd like to reinstall my rawhide machine, and I rather start from a
rawhide kit (instead of using F8 as a base)
Thanks,
- Gilboa.

Mock: loss of login shell
by Steve Conklin
This was covered briefly in a couple of emails on this list a couple of
weeks ago but I see this as a bug, further discussion please . . .
Mock no longer uses a login shell for builds.
The way I discovered this is that the ipsec-tools package stopped
building. The reason is that it has a BuildRequires for the krb5-devel
package, from which it uses krb5-config.
krb5-config is installed in /usr/kerberos/bin/, and the user's path is
provided by /etc/profile.d/krb5-devel.sh
No user shell, therefore no path, and configure fails to find krb5-config.
The simple solution for this is to add the following to the %build
section of the spec file for ipsec-tools:
source /etc/profile.d/krb5-devel.sh
Having put that into the spec file, there's potential for what would
otherwise be a perfectly acceptable change to the krb5 package to break
builds of other packages that have a BuildRequire for it.
I'm afraid that this might lead to a proliferation of small changes to
spec files that create unneeded dependencies.
I'm interested in what other people think about this.

nm-0.7 (final) release, schedule?
by Rex Dieter
Per
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2007-December/msg00294...
anyone have a notion of a nm-0.7 release schedule?
If nm-0.7 is good enough to be included in fedora(8), it ought to be close
to good enough for a formal release, no?
Not having a release or a visible schedule has some bad side-effects,
primarily (from my pov) that downstream-apps and distros don't use it yet.
Of course, I'm asking out of selfishness, since a lack of release/schedule
is the primary reason that kde4 (and knetworkmanager) doesn't yet support
nm-0.7.

Submitting packages for review
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Shows how long I've been out of the loop here!
I've uploaded mono-addins to http://pfj.fedorapeople.org, but there is
now nothing on bugzilla and nothing I can spot on the wiki for
submitting packages for review.
How do I do it?
TTFN
