Call for help: porting Sugar to NetworkManager 0.9 for Fedora 15
by Adam Williamson 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hey, all. So, although the Fedora 15 final release has been signed off on, we gave ourselves a bit of wiggle room. The current Sugar implementation is known to have some significant issues, the major one of which is that networking is badly broken. We are aiming to try and fix these and do the Sugar-on-a-stick live spin late, incorporating these fixes, as they do not need to touch any of the other live images or the DVD. The problem with networking is the NetworkManager 0.9 API change; it caught Sugar, both upstream and within Fedora, a bit off guard. When the change was discussed by FESCo the needs of KDE and anaconda were considered and a plan developed, but no-one caught that the same problem affected Sugar: Sugar has its own interface to NetworkManager, and that needs to be either ported to 0.9, or adjusted to use the fallback 0.8ish API that was implemented for knetworkmanager to use. Unfortunately, our go-to Sugar guy, Peter Robinson, is struggling with doing this as it's not really in his wheelhouse, and our upstream contact at Sugar is busy with travel and Sugar release problems, so getting this done has not been smooth sailing so far. Peter would be very grateful of any help anyone could offer with the porting effort (to either the 0.9 or 0.8-ish interface within current NetworkManager; we don't care which, we just want typical Sugar networking to work. We'd like to get this done so we can still spin up a Sugar live image and push it out for release day, which is May 24, but in any case, the sooner the better. If you'd like to help with this, please contact Peter, myself, or Jared Smith via email or IRC, or just reply to this mail. Peter's IRC nick is pbrobinson, mine is adamw, and Jared's is jsmith. Thanks a lot! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Need a python3 person for docutils
by Toshio Kuratomi 17 May '11

Hey all, Currently docutils is unable to update in Fedora 15 because of bugs in the python3 compatibility. Is there anyone who cares about python3 here who is willing to take a look at fixing it? Otherwise, we're stuck on the current version of docutils (for both python2 and python3) and the python3 package will be non-functional. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=579567 -Toshio

the difference of "exec" and "import" in python
by tom z 03 May '11

Hi~ all guys, I have a strange question, what's the difference of "exec" and "import"? IMO, when we use "import", the script is also be executed, (maybe its namespace is owned by itself), and "exec" does something like this, it executes some script. So i think its difference is its namespace. I want to get your hint~ thanks a lot
