AOS Feature
by Bryan Kearney
I wanted to begin the discussion of the Appliance Operating System (AOS)
Feature for F10[1]. This is a followup to an earlier email from
Jeroen. In full disclosure, there are 2 open issues right now. These are:
1) Trademark Approval for the Spin: The first submission has SELinux
disabled. The second submission, which is awaiting feedback from the
board, has SELinux enabled in permissive mode.
2) Distribution of a non-ISO Spin [2]
It is the second one which I would like to begin discussion around so
that if there is any information we can bring it up to the FESCO meeting
today (10 September) at 18:00 UTC.
Our hope was that we would be able to use the new appliance-tools which
are being built as part of F10 ti build an image file from the AOS
kickstart file[3] and host it on spins.fedorahosted.org. The thinking is
that this is similar to the existing ISO process with the exceptions that:
1) A different tool was being used (appliance-creator instead of
livecd-creator ). He hoped this would have minor impacts since the
former is derived from the latter.
2) The output format would be either a raw disk or a tar ball. Since the
spins site already hosts tar balls we assumed this would not be a large
issue.
This is my first time with a Fedora feature and a Spin, so I dont know
the correct process here.. other then to try and kick off the discussion.
Thanks!

Block uqm-content in rawhide
by Tom Callaway
Please block uqm-content in rawhide, it is dead.package'd for license
reasons (uqm now uses autodownloader to get its content).

block mosml from rawhide
by Tom Callaway
mosml has been dead.package'd because it was using code under a non-free
license.
Please block this package from rawhide/F10.

Since the AOS spin is part of the appliance tools feature (which is
accepted, right?), the next step is to contact Rel. Eng. and make sure
they know that it includes a spin and appliance-tools should be used to
compose -although using livecd-tools works too for the AOS spin, just
doesn't give the best effect. In CC:.
Kind regards,

Artistic 1.0 package blocks for rawhide
by Tom Callaway
The following packages have been dead.packaged and retired, due to the
fact that they're only available under the Artistic 1.0 license.
This is in keeping with:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Artistic1Removal
(Note: I'm waiting until the absolute last second for qstat and
perl-IO-Multiplex, as removing either of them would be...
uncomfortable.)
(also note that pgadmin3 is just blocked, not dead.packaged and retired,
as they will probably be relicensed sometime post F10)
Please block these packages in rawhide:
d4x
perl-Class-Gomor
perl-DBIx-SQLite-Simple
perl-Net-Packet
perl-Net-Packet-Target
perl-Net-Write
pgadmin3
rman

Draft: Fedora 8 and 9 Updates Now!
by Warren Togami
QUICK SUMMARY:
=============
Follow these simple steps to re-enable Updates on your Fedora 8 and
Fedora 9 systems.
1) Use your package client (yum, pirut or PackageKit) to update. It
should see a new fedora-release, and on F9 a new version of PackageKit.
Upgrade into these packages.
2) Update again. It should be pointing at the new update repositories.
Your package client will ask if you wish to accept the new key.
https://fedoraproject.org/keys
You may wish to verify that it is the proper key by comparing the key ID
to this page.
MORE DETAILS:
============
As mentioned earlier [1], for cautionary reasons the Fedora Project is
issuing new GPG keys for Fedora 8 and Fedora 9 updates in order to
increase "high certainty" to "full known certainty" in the integrity of
those keys.
Phase 1 of the new key procedure is now complete. It should be very
simple for users to migrate into the new key. F8 and F9 users should be
able to upgrade into the new fedora-release package. This new package
contains the new repository definition and new keys. This way
subsequent updates will know where to find new updates signed by these
new keys.
Phase 2 of this procedure will happen soon. This will be another
fedora-release and rpm upgrade in the new repository that removes the
old repositories and old keys. This update will be transparent and most
users will not notice any difference.

https://fedoraproject.org/keys
Even more details about this rekeying and the new keys can be found here.
