Someone should ask matti or davem to setup a new ml on vger.

Distributions, and others companies interested in LiNUX/*BSD/UN*X.
FHS is not only for LiNUX.

[Test-Announce] 2011-04-01 @ 17:00 UTC - F-15-Beta blocker bug review #4
by James Laska
# F15-Beta Blocker Review meeting #3
# Date: 2011-03-25
# Time: 17:00 UTC [1] (13:00 EDT, 10:00 PDT, 10:00 MST)
# Location: #fedora-bugzappers on irc.freenode.net
Greetings,
This Friday is April 1st. I was trying to cook up something clever for
the blocker meeting, without causing too much heartache. I'm sure we
can do better than ...
* Today only, all bugs are file one, get one free!
* All previously approved blocker bugs have been CLOSED WONTFIX
* The first 50 bugs filed will be fixed immediately (limit 1 per
user, offer not valid in Arizona)
Good, glad I got that over with. Now, back to our regularly scheduled
programming...
The fourth Beta blocker review meeting will be this Friday at 17:00 UTC
in #fedora-bugzappers. We'll spend time reviewing proposed and accepted
F-15-Beta blocker bugs. Please note that recent daylight savings
changes may result in a different local time [1].
An updated list of blocker bugs is available at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers. The list of
bugs is also attached to this mail. We'll be reviewing the bugs to
determine ...
1. whether they meet the Beta release criteria [2] and should stay
on the list
2. are getting the attention they need
For guidance on Blocker and Nice-to-have (NTH) bugs, checkout ...
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process and
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_nth_bug_process
== Suggested Meeting Preparation ==
Maintainers ...
* If your bug is *not* MODIFIED ... this issue is at risk of
slipping the F15 Beta release date
* If your bug is in MODIFIED ... please make sure a build with the
fix exists, and is available as a bodhi update.
Testers ...
* If you REPORT a bug ... please be responsive to any requests for
additional information.
* If a bug is in ON_QA ... please take a moment to apply the
update, and post karma feedback

Guile 2.0.0
by Miroslav Lichvar
Hi,
guile-2.0.0 has been released, there are some important changes.
- The license changed from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
- The libguile API changed and there were also some changes in the
language itself. Recompiling depending packages (with patching C
code) probably won't be enough, patches for Scheme code might be
necessary.
- Guile now automatically compiles Scheme code to bytecode. For Scheme
files that don't have the .go files beside them, they are generated
and stored in $HOME/.cache/guile/ccache. It can be disabled (with
huge performance penalty) by setting GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0. I think
we might want to pregenerate them and store them in rpm, either in
the spec file manually, or in a rpm script, similarly to python, but
I'm not sure we should try to generate .go file for every .scm found
in the buildroot as it might be a code for a different Scheme
implementation.
Suggestions? Do we want to keep this in a special rawhide koji target
for now?
Full changelog

GPU hanging(?) with latest mesa packages
by Ian Pilcher
I just tried the new mesa* packages in Fedora 15 updates-testing on my
Sandy Bridge (Core i7 2600) system, and the results were not pretty.
X was completely unusable, with both of my screens "flashing" solid
black every few seconds.
These messages appeared in the syslog:
