Change request
by Jeroen van Meeuwen
Hey,
I'd like the following patch to be applied. It fixes the redirects for
RPM-GPG-KEY files for secondary arches not to be redirected to
/pub/fedora-secondary/, so that Jigdo's can find the files.
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Meeuwen

commit b240e804a23e4171d21de19f0de0ec4b34586654
Author: Jeroen van Meeuwen <kanarip(a)puppet1.fedora.phx.redhat.com>
Date: Tue Dec 30 01:02:00 2008 +0000
Fix the rewrite for secondary architectures.
The rewrite caused GPG keys in primary architecture install trees
matching the name of a secondary architecture to be rewritten to
secondary-archs.

To whom you are developing this?
Is this for geeks? or for every one (including new users)?

Fedora 11: What do we expect?
by Angel
Hi,
It´s almost one year, I am with the Fedora community. In this one year, I
met so many great people from Fedora community. I have visited hundreds of
forums, mailing lists. I meet so many people who uses Fedora (also who
doesn´t). I have learned so many things from them. Some of them are happy
using Fedora and some them are not. And I think, as a community member, it´s
my responsibility to inform you guys about some issues that I think, why
people doesnt like to use Fedora or switching to other distros. And
something, that we need to fix.
1. Need to include RPM Fusion with Fedora 11 default installation (but not
activated, like Fedora test repo or raw hide, as we don´t include
proprietary software). If this is not possible (may be because of some legal
issue), then I´ll say, we need a working GUI solution to install RPM Fusion.
According to RPM Fusion <http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration> they explained
a GUI solution to install the repo, but most of the time, it doesnt work at
all (I myself, tested thousands time, also so many people there has, who
tried, I searched for the solution, everyone give me CLI solution). And
KPackage Kit can´t install it. So we need a solution that will work for
GNOME and KDE both.
2. Need a GUI solution to install nVidia and ATI driver, that will
automatically install the appropriate driver (Ubuntu has a GUI *Hardware
Drivers *options that automatically download and install the driver, also
they have Envy, its another GUI solution)
3. Need a GUI solution to install all kind of proprietary Multimedia codecs
(Ubuntu has ubuntu-restricted-extras, they simply select it from package
manager, and it installs all kind of codecs including JAVA)
4. Need a complete GUI solution to install softwares offline from cache
(ofcourse if it can fix the dependency) or DVD Media.
5. There has a very easy way to install a rpm package from CLI (one single
package, that has not any dependency issue or if it has, it´s possible to
install the package by ignoring it). But from Fedora 9, GUI double click rpm
install doesnt work at all. So, we need a GUI solution of it.
6. Need to add CD/DVD repo with Fedora 11 default installation, so people
can use DVD to install softwares.
7. From /etc/yum.conf we need to edit keepcache=0 to 1 as default. So
people can use the cache to install software later or to some other PC.
Many of you will say, why we are following Ubuntu? Well, I´ll say, no, we
are not following them. This is the truth, what users want. And many of you
will think, this ideas are stupid, but truth is If this issues we can fix,
for sure, so many people will start using Fedora. My apologies, if I am
wrong anywhere.

Re: Fedora 11: What do we expect?

According to Fedora Devel List, I have got some hope about this issues I
have explained. May be soon we will get all the solutions. If not in this
release (Fedora 11), then may be in Fedora 12.
Thanks.
