-management. Details can be viewed in the proposal which I have
-attached along with the email.
-I would love to hear your views on it."
+"A new section has been added to the SysV Initscripts section, discussing
+the proper use of subsys locking. Even though Fedora packages should no
+longer be using SysV Initscripts as a primary service mechanism, Red Hat
+Enterprise Linux and EPEL do. Additionally,
+Red Hat points partners to the Fedora Guidelines when they build for RHEL.

+The review guidelines now reflect the use of sha256sum (instead of
+md5sum) to confirm upstream source integrity.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ReviewGuidelines#Things_To_Check_On_Review</ref>
+---
+The PHP Packaging guidelines have been updated to include guidance about
+when it is appropriate to have an explicit Requires on httpd & mod_php,
+how to handle explicit Requires on PHP extensions, and how to handle a
+Requires for a minimum PHP version.

+A new section on Macros has been added to the Packaging Guidelines,
+covering Packaging of Additional RPM Macros.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_of_Additional_RPM_Macros</ref>
+---
+A new section on the Documentation= field in systemd unit files (F17+)
+has been added.
+<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Systemd#Documentation_field</ref>
+---
+A short section on the Group tag in Fedora packages has been added.
+All current versions of Fedora (and their respective RPM versions) treat
+the Group tag as optional. Packages may include a Group: field for
+compatibility with EPEL, but are not required to do so.

+The RHEL conditionalization has been removed from the Python3 example

+These guidelines (and changes) were approved by the Fedora Packaging

+====FUDCon Paris Updates: Subsidy requests opening, hotel reminders====

+* Posted Date: Fri Aug 3 17:00:53 UTC 2012<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2012-August/003099.html</ref>
+"Greetings! (...or perhaps I should say.... bonjour!)
+I'd like to share a few reminders and announcements regarding the
+upcoming '''FUDCon in Paris, France, on October 13-15, 2012'''.
+If you are planning to attend FUDCon and need a travel subsidy to do so,
+the ticketing system is now open for those requests.  Requests will be
+accepted through August 15, 2012. Please note that funding requests
+without a ticket will not be considered. Preference will be given to
+attendees from the EMEA region who are actively contributing to Fedora,
+and have detailed their participation plans for FUDCon in their request.
+To place a subsidy request, please follow these steps:
+: Pre-register at
+<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Paris_2012#Pre-registration</ref> - and
+put an X in the $$$ column
+: Read about the funding request process and place a funding request
+ticket in the FUDCon-planning ticket tracker here:
+<ref>https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/wiki/FundingRequest</ref>
+Additionally, a few notes regarding the hotel in Paris:
+There are other events in Paris during this time period; most notably,
+our first day of FUDCon will be taking place at the Open World Forum
+conference, on the day in which the public is encouraged to participate
+in and learn about open source projects.  OWF had nearly 2000 attendees
+last year.  Accordingly, rooms might be in short supply as we approach
+FUDCon; please, book your hotel as soon as possible, not only for
+affordability purposes, but also so that you have a bed to sleep in. :)
+We currently have a rate of EUR81 per night at the ibis Paris La Vilette
+Cite des Sciencesfor the nights of the 12th, 13th, and 14th of October.
+However, this rate will expire at the end of August, and any remaining
+rooms in our block will expire.
+For instructions on booking your hotel, please read the Lodging/Hotel
+section of the FUDCon: Paris wiki:

-== What is the Alpha release? ==
+"A new release of Bodhi has just been deployed to production.
+<ref>https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates</ref>
-The Alpha release contains all the features of Fedora 13 in a form that anyone can help test. This testing, guided by the Fedora QA team, helps us target and identify bugs. When these bugs are fixed, we make a Beta release available. A Beta release is code-complete, and bears a very strong resemblance to the third and final release. The final release of Fedora 13 is due in May.
+Bugs and enhancement requests can be filed here:
+<ref>http://bodhi.fedorahosted.org</ref>
-We need your help to make Fedora 13 the best release yet, so please take a moment of your time to download and try out the Alpha and make sure the things that are important to you are working. If you find a bug, please report it -- every bug you uncover is a chance to improve the experience for millions of Fedora users worldwide. Together, we can make Fedora a rock-solid distribution. (Read down to the end of the announcement for more information on how to help.)
+Major changes in bodhi 0.9.2
+---------------------------------
-== Features ==
+* fedmsg support! Bodhi now fires off messages for various events that occur. Join #fedora-fedmsg to see it in action. (Ralph Bean)
-Among the top features for end users, we have:
+* Re-organized the links on the front page, and link to the new Update Feedback Guidelines
-    * Automatic print driver installation. We're using RPM and
+* The submitter of an update can no longer effect the karma (Till Maas)
-PackageKit for automatic installation of printer drivers, so when you
-plug in a USB printer, Fedora will automatically offer to install
-drivers for it if needed.
-    * Automatic installation of language packs. Yum language packs
+* Fix duplicate status change email notifications. (Till Maas)
-plugin support makes software installation smarter and easier for
-everyone worldwide, by automatically downloading language support for
-large suites of Fedora software when the user's environment requires
-it.
-    * Redesigned user management interface. The user account tool has
+* Mention age of updates in testing digest mails (Till Maas)
-been completely redesigned, and the accountsdialog and accountsservice test packages are available to make it easy to configure personal information, make a personal profile picture or icon, generate a strong passphrase, and set up login options for your Fedora system.
-    * Color management. Color Management allows you to better set and
+* Support e-mail threading in notification e-mails (Till Maas)
-control your colors for displays, printers, and scanners, through the
-gnome-color-manager package.
-    * NetworkManager improvements include CLI. NetworkManager is now a one stop shop for all of your networking needs in Fedora, be it dial-up, broadband, wifi, or even Bluetooth. And now it can all be done in the command line, if you're into that sort of thing.
+* Add X-Bodhi mail headers (Till Maas)
-    * Experimental 3D extended to free Nouveau driver for NVidia cards. In this release we are one step closer to having 3D supported on completely free and open source software (FOSS) drivers. In Fedora 12 we got a lot of ATI chips working, and this time we've added a wide range of NVidia cards. You can install the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental package to try out the work in progress.
+* Gracefully handle private bugs (Cole Robinson)
-For developers there are all sorts of additional goodies:
+* Set the default request for new updates to 'testing' in the web form
-    * SystemTap static probes. SystemTap now has expanded capabilities to monitor higher-level language runtimes like Java, Python and Tcl, and also user space applications starting with PostgreSQL. In the future Fedora will add support for even more user space applications, greatly increasing the scope and power of monitoring for application developers.
+* Fix a bug in our critpath policy that occurs when a critical path update to a pre-release reaches the minimum amount of time in testing, but is unable to push to stable.
-    * Easier Python debugging. We've added new support that allows
+* Fixed the input box alignment in the login box (Kalpa Welivitigoda)
-developers working with mixed libraries (Python and C/C++) in Fedora to get more complete information when debugging with gdb, making Fedora an exceptional platform for powerful, rapid application development.
-    * Parallel-installable Python 3 stack. The parallel-installable
-Python 3 stack will will help programmers write and test code for use in both Python 2.6 and Python 3 environments, so you can future-proof your applications now using Fedora.
-    * NetBeans 6.8 first IDE to support entire Java 6 EE spec. NetBeans IDE 6.8 is the first IDE to offer complete support for the entire Java EE 6 specification.
+Full list of changes since 0.8.7
+--------------------------------
-And don't think we forgot the system administrators:
+Kalpa Welivitigoda (1):
+      fixed input box alignment issue in login box #579
-    * boot.fedoraproject.org. (BFO) allows users to download a single, tiny image (could fit on a floppy) and install current and future versions of Fedora without having to download additional images.
+Luke Macken (25):
+      Convert our tags_url to a byte string before passing it to urlgrabber.

+      Re-organize our links, and add one to the new update feedback guidelines
+      Clean up stray buildroot overrides
+      Version bump for 0.9.2
+      Our build script uses bz2
+      Merge branch 'release/0.9.2'
-    * System Security Services Daemon (SSSD). SSSD provides expanded
+Mathieu Bridon (6):
-features for logging into managed domains, including caching for offline authentication. This means that, for example, users on laptops can still login when disconnected from the company's managed network. The authentication configuration tool in Fedora has already been updated to support SSSD, and work is underway to make it even more attractive and functional.
+      Have bodhi-init create all the tables
+      masher: Fix the comparison
+      masher: Reuse variable
+      setup: Fix the Turbogears version requirement
+      Don't version control auto-generated files
+      setup: Add missing dependencies
-    * Pioneering NFS features. Fedora offers the latest version 4 of the NFS protocol for better performance, and in conjunction with recent kernel modifications includes IPv6 support for NFS as well.
+Ralph Bean (19):
+      Sending messages with fedmsg.
+      No longer using fedmsg schema/validation.
+      fedmsg.ini -> fedmsg-config.py
+      More detail in the update.complete message.
+      More concise send_message calls.
+      Ignore dev db.

+      fedmsg+ssl changes to bodhi.spec.
+      Use modern fedmsg config format.
+      Disable message signing for bodhi tests.
-    * Zarafa Groupware. Zarafa now makes available a complete Open
+Till Maas (8):
-Source groupware suite that can be used as a drop-in Exchange
+      Add X-Bodhi mail headers
-replacement for Web-based mail, calendaring, collaboration and tasks.

-and feel using modern Ajax technologies.
+      Remove files used by mercurial
+      model.py: Change karma from Submitter to 0
+      Fix notification on automatic status change"
-    * Btrfs snapshots integration. Btrfs is capable of creating
+<references/>
-lightweight filesystem snapshots that can be mounted (and booted into) selectively. The created snapshots are copy-on-write snapshots, so there is no file duplication overhead involved for files that do not change between snapshots. It allows developers to feel comfortable experimenting with new software without fear of an unusable install, since automated snapshots allow them to easily revert to the previous day's filesystem.
-And that's only the beginning. A more complete list and details of each new cited feature is available<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/13/FeatureList?anF13a</ref>
