[GSoC 2009] PackageDB Client Fedora Feature
by Grady Laksmono
Hi everyone,
I'm applying to the Google Summer of Code 2009, proposing to develop the
PackageDB Client as part of the Fedora feature. I published my proposal
here:
*URL:* http://laksmono.com/2009/04/02/fedora-feature-packagedb-client/
*Password:* fedora-gsoc
I hope that I could work at this project over the summer, as part of the
reason to help me get started to contribute in the Linux development,
specifically for the Fedora Project. I'd love to get some feedback.
Thanks a lot!

[Help Wanted]F-9 Update of stellarium for Qt-4.5
by Jochen Schmitt
Hallo,
there is a plan to introduced Qt-4.5 on F-9 in the next weeks. Because
on the upstream
website on the stellarium project I could read that the recent release
of this software was
patched to work together with Qt-4.5 I have create an update for this
package.
The update you may find at:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/stellarium-0.10.2-2.fc9.1
Because I'm on vacation for the next two weeks and have not network
access, It may
be nice, if anyone which have the required right to push this update
into the require
stages can take over this task to make sure, that the user may got a
working release
of this package.
BTW: Why are there no pushes on bodhi on the several last days?
Best Regards:
Jochen Schmitt

Wiki Freeze Tomorrow
by John J. McDonough
The wiki freeze is scheduled for tomorrow. If you plan to add some release
notes content to the wiki, time is getting short.
If there are items you think need more content, but you aren't comfortable
with the wordsmithing, leave some content in the wiki and the Docs folks
will be happy to clean up the prose.
Following the wiki freeze we still can make changes in the xml, so if
something comes up that should change the release notes, email myself or
Ryan Lerch and we will make the changes.

Automated System Recovery Tool
by J C
I have made the following proposal for Google Summer of Code 2009 and posted it here on the advice of Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay and Toshio Kuratomi for Peer Review.
Title: Automated System Recovery Tool
Student: Jeff Chandler
Abstract:
An automated system
recovery tool is needed for average users to feel secure using Fedora
as their primary Desktop OS. Fedora and other Gnu/Linux distros can be
rendered useless to the non-technical user by a failed binary driver
install (Video cards, wireless ethernet, etc.) or malicious programs.
For these users, there is no easy fix available. I propose a daemon
that tracks changes in the filesystem and can restore installed
programs and configuration to a previous point in time when the system
was working. Suspect programs would be cordoned off into a secure area.
A tie-in with smolt could be used to identify troublesome packages.
Content:
== Why do you want to work with our team? ==
I have used Fedora for 3 years and it is my favorite Gnu/Linux
Distribution. I would love to contribute to its development and make
it more accessible to mainstream users.
== Do you have any past involvement with our team or another open source project? ==
Please desribe your past open source experience.
My occupation involves installing and servicing Digital Video
Recorders for CCTV systems. These systems run Proprietary Software on
top of Gnu/Linux and frequently are poorly coded and have multiple
problems, plus nearly useless technical support from the manufactures.
Open Source Tools have been invaluble in troubleshooting and solving
the many issues I've faced with these systems. Even without the source
code of the proprietary software, I've been able to use open source
tools to preserve my companies good reputation with our customers.
Objdump and bvi have been particularly useful.
== Why should we choose you over other applicants? ==
At 37, I am much older than most students, but I have a lot of
experience in real world applications and the benefits of things that
"just work" and are easily recoverable.
== Proposal Description ==
Please describe your proposal in detail. Include:
* An overview of your proposal
A daemon that would track changes in the filesystem, installed
packages and versions, and configuration information. In the event of
a system failure or corruption (by a binary driver, user error,...)the
Automated System Recovery Tool could be used to restore the system to a
previous time. The daemon would also keep a copy of non-standard (not
available from the standard repos) packages for reinstall. The tool
could also be used as a System Backup utility to store all system and
user data in a compressed file in case of a total system or hardware
failure. A tie-in with smolt could be used to make users aware of
system crashing drivers for specific harware.
* The need you believe it fulfils
To penetrate mainstream desktops, Fedora needs to be more
accessible to the average computer user. One of the many hurdles to
this goal, is earning the confidence of the user. The user must feel
that any corruption of the system or mistake by the user has an easy
and effective solution for recovery with no or minimal loss of data.
* Any relevant experience you have
Many, many hours spent recovering from failed attempts to use
binary drivers for video adapters and wireless ethernet. For the last
4 years I've been engaged in independent study of C and Python
programming, Bash Scripting, and Linux administration.
* How you intend to implement your proposal
Create scripts to check the file tree and logs for new packages,
configuration changes and new user data. Create a baseline file
monthly, that can be used independently to perform restores, add change
files weekly or daily (selected by user) to be used in conjunction with
baseline file. Create Graphical tool for user setup and use of
Automated System Recovery Tool. Use combination of custom scripts and
yum to implement actual recovery system.
* A rough timeline for your progress
1.) Implement daemon to record system changes to a recovery file. 1 week
2.) Implement Graphical Interface for user interaction. 1 week
3.) Implement System Recovery backend 2 weeks
4.) Test and Debug. 2 weeks
* Any other details you feel we should consider

What is the full story here which would explain why the minimum version
was too high for F-9? And what is really the lowest support version?
FWIW, the spec included in the tarball still requires >= 0.40.5
