Java 7 for Fedora 16
by Douglas Myers–Turnbull
Hi,
Just something I wanted to bring to attention:
Java 7 is slated for release (after years of hassle and heated debate)
on 28 July, 2011.
I think this would be an important feature to include for the Fedora
16 release, and the months between Java's release and Fedora 16's 25
October release would allow plenty of time to integrate Java 7. If I'm
not mistaken, if Java 7 isn't released this time around, it won't be
in Fedora until the Fedora 17 release rolls around, nearly a year (!)
after Java 7 is released.
I created an unfinished, skeletal feature page here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Java7
Unfortunately, I don't have the knowledge to help build it. I'm
announcing it here in case whoever maintains Java 6 in Fedora, or
someone else, is interested.
Thanks,
Douglas Myers-Turnbull

RPM version goes backward in Rawhide
by Jerry James
I just did a "package-cleanup --orphans" on my Rawhide machine to see
which of the just-blocked packages are installed there. To my
surprise, I got this:
# package-cleanup --orphans
Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
[snip stuff that I need to take care of]
rpm-4.9.1-2.fc16.x86_64
rpm-build-4.9.1-2.fc16.x86_64
rpm-build-libs-4.9.1-2.fc16.x86_64
rpm-devel-4.9.1-2.fc16.x86_64
rpm-libs-4.9.1-2.fc16.x86_64
rpm-python-4.9.1-2.fc16.x86_64
# repoquery rpm
rpm-0:4.9.0-10.fc16.x86_64
Was this intentional?

Fwd: Rapid DHCP
by itamar
Interesting message in another list.
for me fedora is very slow to get dhcp address.

Subject: Rapid DHCP
To: OLPC Devel <devel(a)lists.laptop.org>, OLPC Australia list
<olpc-au(a)lists.laptop.org>
Here's an article that tries to explain why Mac OS is so much faster
at connecting to networks than Linux and Windows:
http://cafbit.com/entry/rapid_dhcp_or_how_do
Could such an implementation be considered for the OLPC OS? XOs go on
and off the network all the time, as power management kicks in and the
machines move in and out of AP range (or switch to a different AP).
This is a disruptive process, and speeding it up would be welcome.

Grubby and Xen
by W. Michael Petullo
I have been working with a few other Fedora contributors on the Fedora 16
feature "XenPvopsDom0", http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvopsDom0.
This feature would provide a robust virtualization alternative based on
Xen. Xen is a type-1, hypervisor-based platform and therefore has some
different properties than KVM, et al.
One of the integration points we'd like to improve has to do with
grubby. As it is hypervisor-based, Xen requires grub to be configured
a little differently than bare-metal Linux.
In summary, where bare-metal Linux needs:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-...
initrd /boot/initramgs-...
Xen requires:
kernel /boot/xen.gz
module /boot/vmlinuz-...
module /boot/initramfs-...
There are two bugs in Bugzilla related to this:
658387, Patch to allow mbkernel and mbargs to be read from /etc/sysconfig/kernel
668063, Grubby does not handle "template" that uses module keyword properly
Is anyone who is a grubby contributor interested in adding these features
to grubby to support the XenPvopsDom0 feature? I've provided a patch in
bug #658387.
Thanks,

Defining build options based on available compiler version
by Susi Lehtola
Hi,
I tried using
%global gccver %(gcc -dumpversion)
%if %{gccver} >= 4.6.0
foo here
%endif
to conditionalize usage of quadruple precision support in a spec file
that ships on multiple distros, but the comparison gives the error
parseExpressionBoolean returns -1
Is there a way to check if the gcc version is sufficient with some rpm
macro?

[ACTION REQUIRED] Retiring packages in F-16 (final warning)
by Bill Nottingham
Each release, before branching, we block currently orphaned packages.
It's that time again for Fedora 16.
New this go-round is that we are also blocking packages that have
failed to build since before Fedora 14.
The following packages are currently orphaned, or fail to build. If
you have a need for one of these packages, please pick them up.
If not claimed, the packages will be blocked on Monday, July 25.

Heads-up: ipython-0.11 breaking anything :)
by Thomas Spura
Hi list,
I just build ipython-0.11 in rawhide, which changed pretty much
anything internally, so *ALL* dependant packages will be possible
broken.
repoquery just reports 2 packages, but it should be more...:
python-networkx
python-polybori
Missing packages (maybe more):
python-matplotlib
scipy
Dear dependant package maintainers please test the new ipython with
your package and let me know, if it works well, so we could add it also
into f16...
For more information about this new, exciting release see:
http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/whatsnew/version0.11.html
Happy testing,
Tom
