Upcoming Bugzilla Changes
by TK009
The time is almost here to reap the harvest on which so many have toiled and
enjoy the bounty that is Fedora 12. With each new Fedora release comes some
Bugzilla housekeeping. This e-mail is designed to let you know about two things
happening around November 17, 2009 (Fedora 12 release day) and
what you need to do, if anything.
(1) We will be automatically changing the version all rawhide bugs to Fedora 12.
This will result in regular bugs reported against rawhide during the Fedora 12
development cycle being changed to version '12' instead of their current
assignment, 'rawhide'. This is done in order to more accurately tell where in
the lineage of releases the bug was last reported because over time 'rawhide'
becomes ambiguous.
Note that this procedure does not apply to bugs that are against component
'Package Review' or bugs that have the 'FutureFeature' or 'Tracking' keywords
set.
They will stay open as rawhide bugs indefinitely.
If you do not want your bugs changed to version '12', add the FutureFeature
keyword.
If you need help changing a large amount of bugs manually, we'd be glad to help.
Stop by #fedora-bugzappers on irc.freenode.net and we'll help you.
(2) All bugs for upcoming EOL releases (at this point, Fedora 10) will get a
comment on release day, explaining that one month of maintenance remains.
These bugs must move to a later version if still applicable or they will be
automatically closed in one month with a resolution of WONTFIX.
More about these processes is here:

Wi-Fi Question
by Martin Dubuc
On most laptops, there is a way to disable Wi-Fi either through function
keys or kill switch. I am wondering if there is a way programmatically
speaking to figure out whether or not Wi-Fi is currently disabled because
the user has pressed the Wi-Fi function key or turned Wi-Fi off with the
kill switch.

Have an issue you'd like to propose as an F12 release blocker? Please
consider the following criteria when escalating an issue:
* Can this issue be fixed with a future update or is it part of
the critical path? [2]
* Is this defect a high (or greater) severity [3] with no, or an
unreasonable, workaround?
* Is this an embarrassing bug affecting a large number of users?
Come join the fun!

RFC: proposed macro deffinitions for F-13
by Dennis Gilmore
Hi All,
Id like to get some feedback on the patches that i'm proposing for F-13.
quite a few packages that need to deal with differences between 32bit/64bit or
multilib arches have defines for the appropriate arches. sometimes incomplete
since they don't include secondary arches.
I wanted to get some feedback. and see if there are other cases we should add.

What requires libgcc, actually?
by Linus Walleij
Just a quick question for those who know:
The shared libs from libgcc: /lib/libgcc*so* are not required by
anything:
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires libgcc-4.4.1-2.fc11.i586
no package requires libgcc-4.4.1-2.fc11.i586
I have a vague memory that libstdc++ uses this runtime for e.g.
exception and that is why it's there.
Is libstdc++ missing a Requires: libgcc in it's spec, and/or are other
packages missing it as well?
It makes little sense to have a package installed that is not used
by anything....
