Mentioning Translation Freezes in -announce mails

by Dimitris Glezos

Hey guys. Please remember to include in the Beta Freeze emails to -devel-announce a section reminding people that that date also marks the String Freeze for Fedora. As a possible reference point, here's a past email of mine mentioning it: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2008-March/msg00010.... Thanks. -d -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: glezos(a)jabber.org, GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."

Moving the translation deadline from 21/10 to 14/10

by Dimitris Glezos

Hey guys. As you probably already know, the schedule has two important dates for translations: the *translation deadline* and the devel freeze. The first is the date that we guarantee that translations submitted so far will end up in the release. A packager (who maintainers a package translated by the FLP, such as anaconda, system-config-*, etc) needs to re-package between the two dates for the guaranteed translations to end up in F10. Currently the F10 schedule has translation deadline the same day as the development freeze (FLP didn't provide the necessary input to RelEng in time to fix this). This means that packagers only have a few hours to repacakge. I sent an email to FLSCo and it voted in favor of moving the translation deadline from 21/10 to 14/10, so that packagers have 1 week to repackage. One less week for translating, but substantially higher chances of those translations ending up in the release. The translation deadline is something that affects only translations, so I think it can be moved it without affecting anyone but translators. Awaiting for your OK before changing the schedule page, announcing on fedora-trans-list, and -devel-list. -d -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: glezos(a)jabber.org, GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."

[Fedora Release Engineering] #805: ekiga-2.9.90 and opal 3.3.1 for F-10 beta

by Fedora Release Engineering

#805: ekiga-2.9.90 and opal 3.3.1 for F-10 beta ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: pbrobinson | Owner: rel-eng(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Milestone: Fedora 10 Beta | Component: koji Keywords: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Ekiga 3 will be out before Fedora 10. I was working to get the beta (BZ 460888) into rawhide before the beta (was waiting of ptlib which hit rawhide on the the 12th) but missed it by a day. It would be nice to get it into the beta for further testing. It is completely standalone (doesn't affect other packages) and pwlib is still in rawhide so its easy to untag and roll back to previous version. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/805> Fedora Release Engineering <http://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng> Release Engineering for the Fedora Project

tagging kernel-2.6.27-0.329.rc6.git2.fc10 and the upcoming anaconda build

by Jesse Keating

Kernel improves things for intel users, we talked about it in the releng meeting. There is a anaconda build coming too that improves the Network situation, david cantrell has done quite a bit of regression testing so it should be OK. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

[Fedora Release Engineering] #812: Please tag fedora-icon-theme-1.0.0-3.fc10 for beta

by Fedora Release Engineering

#812: Please tag fedora-icon-theme-1.0.0-3.fc10 for beta ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: mso | Owner: rel-eng(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Type: task | Status: new Milestone: Fedora 10 Beta | Component: koji Keywords: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- This build adds missing dependency on echo-icon-theme package. -2.fc10 is broken, since it requires (as a theme but not as a package) echo icons that are not installed. It is desirable to have this fixed version in beta. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/812> Fedora Release Engineering <http://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng> Release Engineering for the Fedora Project

FYI reply-list turned off

by Jesse Keating

I turned off the "feature" of mailman that would force replies to go to this list. This was getting in the way of being able to do a 'reply-all' and have it cc the sender (important as many senders to this list are not subscribed to the list). -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
