Rawhide install 10/21
by Mike Chambers
Tried doing an install last night (early this morning) after work, and
when getting to the network config screen, it still wouldn't accept a
static IP. I had to change it to dhcp, then the next screen on what
source to install from, tried nfs and got some kind of yum type error (I
couldn't remember the exact error, sorry) and had to reboot. I tried
again, this time first picking dhcp as default and using the http
default install and it went fine. I thought I might have gotten an
error if I performed an nfs install again so I didn't try (thinking, the
2nd error was related to the network error or something).
Other than that, the install sent fine, cept the fonts (not sure of
size, 12, 14 maybe) on a lot of the screens was just a tad blurred for
me (on an nvidia chipset), whereas before they were fine. I think this
may have to do with a change recently, as the screen resolution seemed
bigger than before and maybe had something to do with it?

Impossible to run Sun Java plugin on 64-bit Fedora 9/10?
by Orion Poplawski
Looks like -
* no firefox.i386 for x86_64 Fedora
* nspluginwrapper does not handle Sun java plugin
So, no Sun Java plugin for x86_64 Fedora 9? Is that correct?

Features & Final Development Freeze
by John Poelstra
This message went directly to the feature owners below, but it didn't
get to fedora-devel-announce.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterStartup now at 100%
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Sugar now at 100%
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello Feature People :)
If all goes as planned, the final development freeze will arrive a week
from Tuesday on October 28, 2008.
Final Development Freeze, defined here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/FinalFreezePolicy means
that all features and their associated feature pages must be at 100%
completion by this date. The following features pages do not currently
meet this criteria and should by updated by October 28, 2008:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterStartup
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterWebcamSupport
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EchoIconTheme
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EFI
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KernelModesetting
Yes, we know "this is Fedora" and "stuff is never 100% done" and all the
usual arguments about "what does percentage completion really mean,
etc., etc." :-) However, for the average user and members of the other
Fedora teams it is important and very helpful to make one last update to
your feature page to make it reflect everything that was completed for
Fedora 10. The things that weren't completed should be removed or
clearly labeled as slated for a future release.
Feature pages not updated and at 100% will be raised to FESCo on October
29, 2008.
Thanks,
John

= Summary =
usermode-gtk and system-config-tools in KDE (#466768):
- - - - -
* Most of the system-config-tools are missing a dependency on usermode-gtk.
* But this one is needed to make the package work as a non-root user.
* We'll have to file bugs against each system-config-tool for the missing
dependency.
* As a temporary workaround usermode-gtk will be manually included in the KDE
live images.
Preparing the final development freeze (2008-10-28):
- - - - -
* KDE should be in a good shape for the final release of Fedora 10.
* We'll consider some backports for kdepim which were published by upstream
after KDE 4.1.2.
Panel autohide:
- - - - -
* An update of kdebase-workspace with backported autohide functionality for
plasma's panel is queued for updates-testing (but not pushed yet).
* This update also fixes all but one known problems with this functionality
(for the missing one we're awaiting feedback from the reporter)
Solar artwork:
- - - - -
* The latest version of solar-kde-theme is available here:
* We'll need a review as soon as possible. [4]
* The KSplash theme has to be prepared to work with a generic logo.

Fedora Release Engineering Meeting Recap 2008-10-20
by John Poelstra
Recap and full IRC transcript found here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/Meetings/2008-oct-20
Please make corrections and clarifications to the wiki page.
== Fedora 10 Snap 2 ==
* bittorrent went much better compared to Snap1
** pre-seeders helped
* 700 downloads so far
* Finding that a little more time is needed to get bittorrent setup for
good user experience
* Last snapshot is Snapshot 3 this week before Final Development Freeze
next week
* '''DECISION''':
** Rel-eng approves adjusting snapshots to start on Wed to give extra
time to stage/prepare the torrents
** Moving on to FESCo for final approval, may happen in time for Snapshot 3
== Signing Server ==
* proposal: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Mitr
** basically, it's 1 dedicated server/VM guest to do the signatures, and
1 network server to help with security, interface with koji, etc.
* Everyone should read proposal and give feedback before next week's
meeting

Hmm, am I the only one who finds the choice of the term "überpackager"
a bit questionnable?
I am assuming this refers to Nietzsche's "Übermensch" which to start
with is not a particular sympathetic idea to many. What I find
particularly problematic however is that at least in Germany this term
more often than not implies some kind of connection to, uhh, certain
dark times about 60 years ago.
Prefixing things with "über-" seems to be popular in the english
speaking world these days. In the German language it is however not
common to build new words with that prefix -- and the aforementioned
connotation plays a role in that.
I don't think using smelly worlds like that one and forgetting about their
history would be good for a formalized workflow like ours in
Fedora. I mean, we are supposed to be democratic with all our
board elections and stuff. But, uh, using Nazi terminology is not a
good way to promote that.
Or, if we have "Überpackagers", maybe it's time to rename normal
packagers to "Unterpackagers"? That would fit awfully well into our
pursuit for world domination, wouldn't it?
