Fedora 9 GA release notes: new content add to PO files
by Murray McAllister
Hi,
Since there was a slip, it was decided that new Wiki changes should be
added to the PO files, for the opportunity of being translated for the
Fedora 9 GA release notes
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2008-April/msg00092.html)
There have not been any major changes. The following is an overview of
what has changed:
## Virtualization (Virtualization.xml) ##
minor change: fully virtualized is two words, not one.
## Release Highlights (OverView.xml) ##
minor change, took out a double-space (not sure if this affects
translations :( )
## Architecture Specific Notes (ArchSpecific.xml) ##
very minor addition...
## Package Notes (PackageNotes.xml) ##
- new sections added:
* Sound Card Utility
* pilot-link and HAL/PolicyKit Interaction
## Fedora Desktop (Desktop.xml) ##
- minor content addition and corrections.
## File Systems (FileSystems.xml) ##
- minor content addition and a "note"
## Java (Java.xml) ##
very minor change ("open source" changed to "Free Software")
## System Services (SystemDaemons.xml) ##
new content for NetworkManger
## Internationalization (I18n.xml) ##
Language Support Installation
- minor addition, "thai, and so on"
- 23.2.2. Indic fonts, new bullet point, "The smc-fonts package has
been added for Malayalam."
- the QT immodules section has been removed
---
The PO files are due at 2359 UTC, 2008-04-29. Thanks for all your
help, apologies for any inconveniences this causes.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
Kind Regards,
Murray.

Is anyone going to add this, or is it fine as it is?
Thanks,

I'll check this out.

Xen Dom0 support is not included, nor slated to be included, in F9.
Folks that need Xen Dom0 are advised to stay with F8. For more
information, see

Not sure, maybe some PackageKit guys can answer this one

You didn't mention any X problems.

to add or not ... relnotes
by Karsten Wade
We discussed adding the changes from the wiki to the release notes,
given the extra timing for the release.
Unfortunately, we also told L10n to go ahead and work with the POT/PO
from _before_ any changes.
Since we didn't do those changes and a week has passed ...
* Do we want to do those changes?
* What about branching for F9 *right now* with what we have?
- We could make devel available for updates and new trans
- If we reach parity with F9 for translation, we update the F9 branch
from devel
* Other ideas?
- Karsten

NOT the FDSCo irclog ...
by Karsten Wade
Below is NOT the log from today's meeting, is the log from the
non-meeting. However, if no one new shows up at the scheduled time of
1900, we'll vote this log in as the log, and I'll repost, and the gods
of process will be appeased. Note this one is 21 minutes long, a record
length ... although mainly one guy, talking to himself.

11:15 < Southern_Gentlem> quaid i will get Evilbob on the IG this week
11:16 < quaid> Southern_Gentlem: thx; the concern is we don't know what
was or was not done by his IG writing team
11:16 < quaid> so we're likely to duplicate or overcome that work
11:16 < quaid> which was, btw, why I argued for *all* that work to
happen in regular irc, mailing list, and CVS
11:17 < quaid> but, good lord, yes, all hands are needed :)
11:17 * quaid prepares to move on topic-wise ...

11:20 < jsmith> quaid: Yeah, couf told me he gave me an A+ on it... I'm
still in shock
11:20 < quaid> -- above discussion on list?
11:20 < jsmith> Yeah, push it to the list

task :)
11:20 < quaid> ok, any more on that ol' content what is active?
11:21 < jsmith> Not that I can think of...
11:21 < jsmith> What exactly is involved in publishing the SMG? It got
branched for the PackageKit update, right?
11:22 < jsmith> Did the PackageKit updates ever get put into DocBook?
11:22 < Southern_Gentlem> define SMG please
11:23 < Southern_Gentlem> IG is install guide UG is User Guide
