Does anyone know where the page for Fedora 11 Accepted Spins is? I'm thinking it doesn't exist, but wanted to check before creating a duplicate. Thanks, John

There probably should be, but I didn't see one. The new spins all had to make their own pages, but I don't know if anyone went back to do the same for the permanent ones. (I think the dev spin is permanent, but i could be wrong.) What you could do is take a look at the spin's kickstart file (install spin-kickstarts). It should be pretty easy to just look at it and get a good idea of what is included (on top of desktop). -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list

Can you please from now on use this ks for FEL ? The advantage of the structure used in this ks is to help us(FEL) divide the tasks among the FEL contributors. All FEL apps goes to @electronic-lab.

remix-logos
by Rahul Sundaram 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

Hi, Now that the new trademark guidelines have been published at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines I would like to see the ability for remixes to use the secondary brand easily. One way to do this is to have a remix-logos package in the Fedora repository that contains secondary brand images which can be used as a replacement for fedora-logos and instead of generic-logos. Anyone willing to look at this? Rahul

Spin for DF-Day
by A. Mani 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was quite unaware of this list. Anyway... Document Freedom Day is on 25th March. ~300+ teams all over world will be participating. I proposed a custom Fedora spin for the day (for all teams) in the DF-day mailing list and some people have shown interest. Basically it should include 1. Mainly destop oriented packages (updated stable Fedora10) 2. All Open Office stuff with good collection of templates, Dictonaries 3. Scribus, GIMP, Koffice, Gnumeric, Docbook, Lua, Quanta etc (latest stable) 4. TexLive and IDEs 5. Lots of Advocacy related documentation + Whitepapers, Technical = A Folder + html page reports, Tutorials etc (for DF-Day): = A Folder + html page It may be a matter of adding a Folder + html page + some custom artwork (from DF-Day people) + wallpaper(s) (from DF-Day people) + a few small customisations to an existing custom spin. (This year the document freedom day people announced the day in the last week of Feb and so I could not come with this earlier. The whole spin creation process seems to be a long one.) Please suggest a suitable spin and ...how should I proceed?

Excluding *.i?86 on x86_64 images
by Jeroen van Meeuwen 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hi, As you can see on http://www.kanarip.com/revisor/, a lot of x86_64 spins fail composing against rawhide because of file-level conflicts between a .i?86 and a .x86_64 package. For the Fedora 9 & 10 respins (also on that page), I resolved this by excluding all .i?86 packages from the YUM repositories (through Revisor's YUM configuration file used for each spin respectively). As a side-effect of removing *.i?86, the size of the spins also decreased a little. If I do the same for rawhide spins, the compose process I use for these daily spins stops reflecting what happens during the "official" composes by the Fedora Project. There's a subtle difference in these two processes already, but at least now we can be sure that if Revisor errors out, so would livecd-tools. What do you think? Should I exclude all .i?86 packages on x86_64 spins? If we do, can we make sure this happens during the official composes as well -without forcing Release Engineering to use revisor-cli instead of livecd-tools? Kind regards, Jeroen van Meeuwen -kanarip

Approved spins for Fedora 11
by Jeroen van Meeuwen 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hello, I wanted to let you know what the approved spins list is for Fedora 11: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Spins_Fedora_11 has the list, but I'll list some notes on each of these. A page similar to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/11/Features has to be created for spins, too. In the end, content will end up on spins.fedoraproject.org (obviously). = AOS Spin = * Format: .img (~130MB) * To be composed with appliance-tools * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AOS_Spin = BrOffice.org Spin = * Format: CD * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BrOffice.org_Spin = Education Spin = * Format: CD * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Education_Spin = Electronic Lab Spin = * Format: DVD * Would like to become available over HTTP also, since many of it's community do not have torrent available. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraElectronicLab = Games Spin = * Format: DVD * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Games_Spin = XFCE Spin = * Format: CD * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/XFCE_Spin This is a grand total of 6 spins, excluding the Desktop and KDE "permanent" spins.

Daily respins
by Jeroen van Meeuwen 07 Mar '09

07 Mar '09

For your information, I'm creating daily respins since I find that: 1) spins do not compose against rawhide most of the time 2) current releases: 2a) are oversized 2b) fail composing because of dependency errors In the case of 1), these daily composes that I do are an indicator of what might be the actual cause, and in the case of 2{a,b}), these daily composes tell us where to look. I think it's very important to note that although the Fedora Project itself doesn't use the kickstarts associated with a current version of Fedora, people do -and expect a spin that composes, at least. Some of the trouble is caused by failing dependencies which can also happen on any installed system doing a 'yum update'. Visit http://www.kanarip.com/revisor/ for actual output. Let me know how you think we can further improve on this. Kind regards, Jeroen van Meeuwen -kanarip PS. For access to the .iso and .torrent files, you need to authenticate because this stuff is all untested and not public.

Get it updated and reviewed by John Poelstra before the Feature Freeze, and notify the Spins SIG every step of the way so they can take FEL for a quick vote, before it's too late. Summary: The page has to be updated and pass two (!) review queues before the Feature Freeze tomorrow (!). Kind regards, Jeroen van Meeuwen -kanarip

Games Spin at today's board meeting?

I wasn't able to attend today's board meeting and wanted to make sure the Games Spin came up since it is incorrectly still listed in the Spins Ready for SIG category instead of Spins Ready for Board category. Were any of you able to attend the meeting? I looked for the IRC log, but it hasn't been posted yet.

The Games Spin is still in the Spins_Ready_for_SIG category. I am not sure if people were expecting me to change it, it's just taking time or it got overlooked. I don't want to change it on my own without being told that it's OK to do so.

Chitlesh, Sorry to reply to myself, but I did have another thought about this process. Historically I don't think the Board has re-voted on every Spin for every release. I asked the Spins SIG to look at whether the Board really needs to revisit their approval every release: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fedora-spins/2009-March/000476.html What I'd recommend is that unless there are major changes to Spin behavior relative to either the previous release of that Spin or to the standard release of Fedora, the Board's approval can stand for more than one release. The Board would ask the Spins SIG to bring any such changes to our attention for approval by Feature Freeze. In this case, the Board would be happy to revisit the approval of the FEL Spin, pending the Spins SIG's approval, just to ensure there is no confusion about the FEL's official status. I think the Board's attitude has been that trademark approvals can survive multiple releases, unless substantial changes occur between our standard release and a particular custom Spin. This streamlines the process somewhat and lessens the burden on the Spins SIG, the Spins Wrangler, and the Spin submitter. -- Paul W.
