Orphaning Glade3
by Adam Miller
Hello all,
I am orphaning Glade3, I don't use it at all anymore since I've
transitioned to Qt4 for the most part. There are quite a few bugs open
but a large portion of them are duplicates from abrt that I just never
got around to triaging (hence the orphaning).
There are three co-maintainers so I don't worry too much about the
future of the package, I'm just not its best care taker these days.

Call for Participation - Fedora 14 Talking Points
by Ryan Rix
Hello my Fedora friends!
Talking points are key highlights of the new release. They should be
compelling, but they will not necessarily be comprehensive. There are
different types of talking points for different types of people:
general desktop users/everyone, developers, and sysadmins. For the
Fedora 14 cycle, we will also have talking points to address some of
the Spins. They are meant to provide a short, effective answer to the
question, "What cool stuff is in the latest release of Fedora?"
Each cycle, the Marketing team compiles a short list of approximately
three talking points for each of these audiences for the upcoming
release. For Fedora 14, they're found here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_Talking_Points
If you have a talking point that you feel meets the criteria found on
the talking points SOP page at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talking_points_SOP, add it to the the
table on the F14 page with supporting information. Please make your
contributions and changes on the wiki page, so that the Marketing team
can efficiently capture and consider your input.
The Marketing team will make final adjustments to the list of talking
points at their meeting on August 3, which will be announced on the
marketing list and is open to everyone. If you are interested in
attending the meeting, the agenda, location, and time details can be
found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_meetings. Following
the meeting, the finalized list of talking points will be announced,
and posted to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_Talking_Points.
We welcome you to participate in the process!
All the best!

Firefox 4 repo
by Mike Chambers
Anyone doing any builds of this during development and supplying a repo
to download and install that way instead of source builds? Or is it too
buggy to do at the moment?

Re: [HEADS-UP] systemd is now the default init system in rawhide
by goineasy9＠aol.com
Add init=/sbin/upstart to the end of the kernel line and it will boot up using upstart. Last lines in my boot read failing to load default.service and then failing to start default.service.

Subject: Re: [HEADS-UP] systemd is now the default init system in rawhide
I installed the latest systemd and added the appropriate symbolic link to graphical startup.
My system hangs when almost complete at the plymouth throbber. In text mode it gets to the end of starting services and hangs. gdm never starts.
In /var/log/messages, these seem to be the suspicious lines

df shows the volume as

Any suggestions?

[HEADS-UP] systemd is now the default init system in rawhide
by Lennart Poettering
Heya,
I have just uploaded a new systemd and a new upstart package which make
systemd the default init system for Rawhide. The scheme I followed makes
sure that in case systemd actually breaks systems there is an easy path
back to upstart. And here's how it works:
- "upstart" and "systemd" are now parallel installable. When you upgrade
rawhide you will get both installed. (we'll drop upstart eventually,
but during the testing phase i made sure to explicitly install both,
so that there is a safe backup init system)
- You can boot into either of them by setting the "init=" kernel cmdline
option according to your wishes. If you pass "init=/bin/systemd" you
will boot into systemd, if you pass "init=/sbin/upstart" you will boot
into upstart (note the /sbin vs. /bin!)
- Since there can only be one implementation providing the /sbin/init
file name, I have split off -sysvinit packages from both packages
which symlink this to either /bin/systemd (in the systemd-sysvinit
pkg) or /sbin/upstart (in the upstart-sysvinit pkg). Something similar
is done for /sbin/reboot and the other well-known SysV client
utilities. That basically means you can choose which init system to
use by default simply by installing either of these two packages. By
default systemd-sysvinit will now be installed. As mentioned the
"upstart" and "systemd" packages do not conflict -- but
"upstart-sysvinit" and "systemd-sysvinit" do. The former two packages
include all the actual code, and the latter then install them under
the well-known names via symlinks.
- Note that using the upstart client tools on a systemd system will of
course make certain functionality unavailable. Vice versa it is
similar: using the systemd client tools on an upstart boot will of
course make certain functionality unavailable, too. However, I
carefully made sure that both tool sets work well enough to be able to
at least bring up and reboot the machine.
So, to put this in shorter words:
If systemd does not work for you and you need a temporary fix, pass
"init=/bin/upstart" on the kernel command line.
If systemd does not work for you and you need a non-temporary fix,
install "upstart-sysvinit".
I think this offers a good and soft transition for rawhide.
I have tested all this quite extensibly on my machines, but of course, I
am not sure how this will break on other people's machines. I
sincerly hope I didn't break anything major with this transition. So
please report bugs and don't rip off my head because I might have broken
your boot... I didn't do it on purpose, promised! ;-)
systemd.4-3 is the package version this switch of defaults has taken
place in.

If the packages aren't reviewed and in rawhide by now this feature will
need to wait until Fedora 15.

F14 Wallpapers Package -- Need a Review
by Martin Sourada
Hi all,
As some of you might know, we (the Fedora Design Team) would like to
have first wallpapers available in Alpha release. So I've prepared a
package with them (pretty much reusing spec file from previous releases)
which is now awaiting a review:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=618852
If anyone would be so kind to quickly review the package it would be
more than welcome (we'd like to make it in *before* alpha freeze).
I'm willing to do a swap review in return :)
Thanks,
Martin

[Test-Announce] Testing Fedora? Please enable SELinux if you can
by Adam Williamson
I've been asked by FESCo to post this public service announcement :)
We'd just like to remind those who test Fedora, in whatever
way...running a stable release with updates-testing, running Rawhide,
being a proven tester (especially)...that it's best if you test with
SELinux enabled and enforcing. This is the default configuration of
Fedora, so we need testers to be running with this configuration so we
don't miss problems that show up when SELinux is running.
For proven testers, I actually added a section about this to the
instructions recently -
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Proven_tester#Testing_process .
We recognize there may be situations when SELinux causes problems and
you need to make it permissive or turn it off temporarily, but please
try and keep it turned on if you possibly can, and if you're in a
situation where you need to disable it, please let the developers know
by filing a bug, so they can fix it and you can turn it back on. Thanks
a lot!
