Purging old Fedora test releases
by Jesse Keating
In order to make room for Fedora 9 and future releases, we are purging
all the old test releases on download.fedora.redhat.com. Both the Core
and post-Core test releases up to but not including Fedora 9 Beta.
The content has been archived internally at Red Hat and may one day show
up again for download on an archive site, but given that they were just
test releases that's not likely to happen.

Source RPMS
by Mark Bidewell
I apologize if this is the wrong list for this.
I am looking into using Koji/Mock for some projects. These tools take
source rpms. I am familiar with building binary rpms ( I normally compile
the software install it in a chroot and build the RPM from that), but I am a
little unclear as to how to produce a source rpm and my google searches have
been a little unhelpful. Are there any good resources on creating source
rpms?
Thanks.

Orphaning psgml package
by Adam Tkac
Hi all,
is anyone here interested in maintaining psgml package? It is really
low maintenance-cost package (about one bug per year). It is SGML
module to Emacs written in Lisp. It is quite hard to maintain it for
me because I'm not Emacs user and I'm not so familiar with Lisp.

Package review swaps
by Michel Salim
Hi,
I have several package reviews (they should be quite straightforward)
in my submission queue. Anyone interested in taking these, let me know
which of your package you want to have reviewed in return.
430429 python-storm - An object-relational mapper (ORM) for Python
439337 python-sphinx - Python documentation generator
439744 rubberband - Audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting librar
The last is required to update Sonic Visualiser, an audio
visualization tool, from 1.0 to 1.2. Thanks!

Aaah, I forgot... Then, is it already decided when the F10 release name
will be set? If we are going to match the artwork for F10 with it's
release name, it would greatly help if the release name was determined
really early in the process, so it would make IMHO sense (and would
greatly help us, the art team) to start with the F10 naming process now
and have a vote just about (or shortly after) the F9 release. What do
you think?

- State of konq-plugins (#438126)
- kdemultimedia3 pkg (#439701)
= Summary =
o Waves desktop background:
- Bug #439811 asks for also including the svgs in desktop-backgrounds to be
able to use these instead of the pngs.
o New xine-lib PA plugin:
- KDE currently uses the alsa output device through phonon to workaround the
not-working PA plugin for xine.
- Since the native PulseAudio plugin for xine-lib is working again we'll test
it when xine-lib is patched.
- Contingency plan: stay with the current ALSA solution.
- Test plan: Wait for xine-lib to include the PulseAudio plugin and test it
with amarok or other xine apps.
o kdemultimedia3 pkg review:
- A kdemultimedia3 compat package would contain libarts_* for arts support in
KDE3 applications.
- Packages that still use arts: k3b, koffice-kpresenter, basket, taxipilot,
kbilliards, allegro, gg2, kadu, xeuphoric, gnubg
- If possible, the packages should disable arts support (eg. if it's only used
for playing hardcoded sounds).
- The package will be pulled from review for now.
o state of konq-plugins:
- All plugins in konq-plugins should be tested for functionality.
- Not working plugins will be disabled.
- The akregator plugin will need kdepim to work properly but Sebastian Vahl
wants to avoid a hard dependency on kdepim.
- Proper solutions would be:
* Create a sub package just for one plugin and let this package require
kdepim.
* Omit akgreator from konq-addons.
don't require kdepim at all (like kdeaddons does)
* add a short explanation to %description
- The decision was to use the latter.
o Open discussion:
- KDM theme circles:
* Default KDM theme does not really fit between RHGB and Ksplash/Desktop
background.
* Because there likely will be no GDM theme to adopt, one solution could be
to use a non-themed KDM with "waves" as background wallpaper.

Parellel boot and audit
by Steve Grubb
Hi,
Using the LSB headers, how do I express that audit needs to start before just
about everything else? The only things I can think of that could be before
audit are irqbalance, cpuspeed, iptables, ip6tables, netlabel, network, bind
(optional), and syslog. The irqbalance and cpuspeed are questionable, though.

I've been using it for the last three days, looks good, but some dialog box statuses are blank, when doing some upgrades to new packages.
I also note, when I get new kernel updates it is not prompting me to reboot system or give me the option to do so (as the screenshots do show this).
It seems very usable however

gdm fails to load anything once you attempt to login if you do not have any DE installed. If you start with a @base system and then yum groupinstall "X Window System" gdm will load (it looks rather odd the theme) but it fails to go into the default twm environment (this was from rawhide).
Anyone can confirm this?

Any reason gnome-power-manager wants to eat 1.0-1.3% CPU when the system is in use?
