Does Fedora have a technical expertise oriented SIG?
by Michael Schwendt
Hello everyone!
See subject line. I wonder whether there is a group of people at Fedora
that could examine issues that let the entire product look bad?
As for the background, it had started with Firefox hardcoding /var/tmp as
its temporary directory. Obviously, starting applications from within
Firefox made them run in an environment different than when started on the
desktop. It has taken some time for the Fedora maintainers of Firefox to
confirm it's an issue and to implement a work-around. Fedora's /usr/bin/firefox
startup script evaluates exports $TMPDIR with a default of /var/tmp. Again,
and obviously, a user, who wants a single _unique_ directory for temporary
files for _all_ applications, needs to define that directory somewhere. Or
else, Fedora would just be broken by default. When I wanted to discuss that
topic on devel list, I asked how many other applications either hardcode
a tmp dir or rely on evaluating env variables.
Meanwhile, another issue has been found. Some months ago already. It
affects GNOME Shell and email programs started via gnome-terminal's
mailto handler:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1060540
It just doesn't work, because $TMPDIR is not passed on to the launched
application. And the application cannot work around it.
Is there any authoritative group at Fedora who wants the product to not
suck like that?

5tFTW: Five Things in Fedora This Week: Fedora 21 Beta Edition (2014-11-05)
by Matthew Miller
Reposted from <http://fedoramagazine.org/5tftw-2014-11-05/>.
Fedora is a big project, and it’s hard to keep up with everything that
goes on. This series highlights interesting happenings in five
different areas every week. It isn’t comprehensive news coverage — just
quick summaries with links to each. Here are the five things for
November 5th, 2014:
How to get the Fedora 21 beta
-----------------------------
The Fedora 21 Beta went live yesterday, and you can get it from the
prerelease download page at <http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease>.
This includes all the new Fedora.next variants, ARM images, and Spins,
like the KDE and Xfce desktops.
You can also grab Live images and the Fedora Server installer via
BitTorrent. Either way, while you’re waiting for it to download, read
the release announcement and peruse known issues.
* http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease
* http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/
* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F21_Beta_release_announcement
* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F21_bugs
Upgrading to F21 with FedUp
---------------------------
FedUp — the _Fed_ora _Up_grader — is our recommended tool to go
(relatively seamlessly) from one release to the next. Due to a
late-discovered issue, this isn’t currently available for the beta. See
this bit on the Common Bugs page for details. We will be producing test
`upgrade.img` files as part of the lead-up to F21 final, and *would*
appreciate testing of those when they’re ready.
* http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F21_bugs#FedUp_upgrade_to_Fedora_21_...
Fedora Cloud
------------
The Fedora Cloud release for F21 comes in two sub-variants of its own.
The first is the Fedora Cloud Base Image, which you can download for
use in OpenStack or launch directly in Amazon EC2. This is our more
traditional choice — a minimal selection of RPMs plus cloud-init for
boot-time configuration.
We also have Fedora Atomic, an image built around the Project Atomic
design patterns. (Flashback to Colin Walters’ talk at Fedora Day at
DevConf.cz last February, which kind of kicked this all off.) Atomic
upstream is moving really fast, and for this reason, Fedora Atomic is
kind of a preview in Fedora 21, and actually some of the things we want
in for the final release, like the Kubernetes orchestration engine,
weren’t quite ready for the beta cutoff. So, the Cloud Working Group is
planning to have some post-beta, pre-final test images in the next week
or so to give a better look at what Fedora Atomic will look like — stay
tuned!

* http://www.redhat.com/en/about/blog/red-hat-and-google-collaborate-kubern...
Fedora Server
-------------
Fedora Server is all about providing easy-to-deploy application stacks
which run on a common base. This is done through a service called
RoleKit, and a command-line tool `rolectl` plus an API which you can
integrate with your configuration management tools. For more on this,
see our coverage of Stephen Gallagher’s Flock presentation, or install
the beta and go right to setting up a Domain Controller in just a few
lines.
* http://fedoramagazine.org/flock-2014-day-2-fedora-server-role-ing-along/
* https://fedorahosted.org/rolekit/wiki/DomainController
Fedora Workstation
------------------
And finally, Fedora Workstation is our desktop / laptop system targeted
at software developers — not just those of us working on Fedora, but
everyone out there building applications and services. One key feature
is DevAssistant, a tool for easy setup and management of project
environments. Like much of Fedora 21, this is under heavy development,
and we’d love your input on making this more useful for *your* daily
work.
F21 Workstation also features a preview of next-generation graphics
stack Wayland. This does not sound particularly developer-focused at
first glance, but is actually really important for features software
developers have told us matter to them, like better multi-monitor
support. As we continue with Fedora.next, expect to see a lot of
other fundamental improvements like this, based on needs gathered from
feedback we receive.

Porting initramfs-tools to dracut
by Saurabh Kulkarni
Hi there,
So I've been working on a project that requires me to have my own custom
initrd. The doc I'm following is specialized for ubuntu, so it makes use of
mkinitramfs to create initrd, and uses initramfs-tools/scripts and
initramfs-tools/hooks for serving its purpose. I tried using dracut to
create a ramdisk, but I cannot figure out how should I incorporate
additional scripts and hooks into the same. I tried extending a dracut
module (00bash) by adding *inst_hook cmdline 20 "path to the script" * but
that doesn't seem to help.
I'd really appreciate if someone could help me figure out a way. Either
using dracut or somehow if its possible to use initramfs-tools on fedora..
:)
Thanks,
