<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_of_Additional_RPM_Macros</ref>
greatest release of Fedora ever, Fedora 13! Join us and share the joy
of Free software and the community with friends and family. We have
several major new features with special focus on desktops, netbooks,
virtualization and system administration.


===== What's New in Fedora 13? =====
---


====== For desktop users ======
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 universe of new features for end users:
---


* Streamlined Installer. The user interface of Anaconda, the Fedora installer, has changed to handle storage devices and partitioning in an easy and streamlined manner, with helpful hints in the right places. Thanks to Chris Lumens and others on the Anaconda team, and Máirín Duffy, Fedora Design team lead, for her user interface review.
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.
<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Group_tag</ref>


* Automatic print driver installation. We're using RPM and PackageKit for automatic installation of printer drivers, so when you plug in a printer, Fedora will automatically offer to install drivers for it if needed. Thanks to Tim Waugh and Richard Hughes.
---


* New desktop applications and enhancements. The Shotwell photo manager, Deja-dup backup software, Pino Identi.ca/Twitter client, and Simple Scan scanning utility are all delivered by default to provide an enhanced desktop experience out of the box. Palimpsest, the desktop utility for handling storage devices, can now manage LVM and RAID disks easily. As with the past several releases, Fedora 13 includes enhanced webcam support. Hans de Goede from Red Hat has specially focussed on better support for dual mode camera's for this release.
The RHEL conditionalization has been removed from the Python3 example
spec file, as it is no longer valid.
<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Example_spec_file</ref>


* NetworkManager improvements include better Mobile Broadband, Bluetooth, and new CLI abilities. NetworkManager was introduced in Fedora 7 and has become the de facto network configuration solution for distributions everywhere. NetworkManager is now a one-stop shop for all of your networking needs in Fedora, be it dial-up, broadband, wifi, or even Bluetooth. In Fedora 13 NetworkManager adds mobile broadband enhancements to show signal strength; support for old-style dial-up networking (DUN) over Bluetooth; and command line support in addition to the improved graphical user interface. Thanks to Dan Williams of Red Hat for his extensive work on these features upstream and within Fedora.
---


* Color management. Do you like your printouts to look the same as they do on screen - or your scanner output to look the same as what you just scanned? Color Management allows you to better set and control your colors for displays, printers, and scanners, through the gnome-color-manager package. Thanks to Richard Hughes from Red Hat for his involvement upstream and in Fedora.
These guidelines (and changes) were approved by the Fedora Packaging
Committee (FPC).


* Enhanced iPod functionality. Newer Apple iPod, iPod Touch and iPhone models are supported by some of your favorite photo management software and music library applications such as Rhythmbox. The devices are automatically attached using the libimobiledevice library, so you can work with your content more easily.
'''Many thanks to Remi Collet, David Malcolm, Vit Ondruch, Lennart Poettering, Michael Scherer, Dave Sullivan, and all of the members of the FPC, for assisting in drafting, refining, and passing these guidelines.'''


* Enhanced streaming and buffering support in Totem. Totem's Movie Player and web browser plugins are now better at handling large streaming media, such as HD movies and Podcasts, thanks to the new disk-buffering support in GStreamer.
As a reminder: The Fedora Packaging Guidelines are living documents! If
you find something missing, incorrect, or in need of revision, you can
suggest a draft change. The procedure for this is documented here:
<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Committee#GuidelineChangeProcedure</ref>"


* 3D support for ATI cards (R600 and R700) via Radeon driver. In Fedora 13, 3D support for many ATI cards has moved out of experimental status and is enabled by default. 2D support for the latest generation (R800) is integrated as well in this release. Thanks to Red Hat's Dave Airlie and many others for involvement upstream and in Fedora.
Enclosure: Here is one late change to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines:<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2012-August/003100.html</ref>
<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Systemd</ref>
<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Committee#GuidelineChangeProcedure</ref>


* Experimental 3D graphics support extended to free Nouveau driver for NVidia cards. This release also adds experimental 3D support to a wide range of NVidia cards, adding them to the list of liberated video capabilities. Install the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental package to try out the work in progress. Thanks to Red Hat's Ben Skeggs for involvement upstream and in Fedora.

====FUDCon Paris Updates: Subsidy requests opening, hotel reminders==== 
 
* Contributor: Fedora Project Leader-[[User:Rbergero|Robyn Bergeron]<ref>rbergero at redhat.com</ref>
* Posted Date: Fri Aug 3 17:00:53 UTC 2012<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2012-August/003099.html</ref>


* KDE improvements. KDE in Fedora continues to provide tight integration with the latest technologies in Fedora. In this release, we have improved integration with PulseAudio via Phonon and the volume control KMix, which controls per-application volumes and moves application sounds between hardware devices, as well as with the latest PolicyKit authorization framework. We have also integrated new major versions, based on the KDE Development Platform 4, of the KOffice office suite, the K3b CD/DVD/Blu-ray burning application and, for developers, the KDevelop IDE, which provide better integration with the KDE 4 Plasma Desktop and no longer require the KDE 3 compatibility libraries. Thanks to the work of a growing community of KDE contributors in Fedora.
"Greetings! (...or perhaps I should say.... bonjour!)


* DisplayPort support improvements. Fedora 12 added initial support for the new DisplayPort display connector for Intel graphics chips. Support for Nvidia and ATI systems has now been added in this release. Thanks to Red Hat's Xorg team.
I'd like to share a few reminders and announcements regarding the  
upcoming '''FUDCon in Paris, France, on October 13-15, 2012'''.


* Experimental user management interface. The user account tool has 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. Try out the work in progress. Thanks to Matthias Clasen from Red Hat's Desktop team and others.
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.


====== For developers ======
To place a subsidy request, please follow these steps:


For developers there are all sorts of additional goodies:
1: Pre-register at
<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Paris_2012#Pre-registration</ref> - and
put an X in the $$$ column
2: 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>


* 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. Thanks to Mark Wielaard from Red Hat.
Additionally, a few notes regarding the hotel in Paris:


* Easier Python debugging. We've added new support that allows 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. Thanks to David Malcolm from Red Hat.
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. :)


* Parallel-installable Python 3 stack. The parallel-installable Python 3 stack 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. Thanks to David Malcolm from Red Hat.
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.


* NetBeans Java EE 6 support. The NetBeans 6.8 integrated development environment is the first IDE to offer complete support for the entire Java EE 6 specification. Thanks to Victor G. Vasilyev from Sun/Oracle for his maintenance and support of NetBeans in collaboration with Fedora.
For instructions on booking your hotel, please read the Lodging/Hotel
section of the FUDCon: Paris wiki:
<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Paris_2012#Lodging_.2F_Hotel</ref>"
<references/>


* IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition, Java IDE. Along with Eclipse and NetBeans already provided by Fedora, IDEA is a popular Java-based development environment newly introduced in this release. It comes with an intuitive GUI, integration with Ant and Maven, extensive language support, version control systems and test tools integration and compatibility with Eclipse projects. Thanks to Lubomir Rintel and Michal Ingeli, Fedora community volunteers, for packaging and integration of this feature.
====Fedora Infrastructure announces status.fedoraproject.org====

  (and booted into) selectively. Automated snapshots allow system
  owners to easily revert to a filesystem from the previous day, or
  from before a yum update using the yum-plugin-fs-snapshot
  plugin. Btrfs is still an experimental filesystem in this release
  and requires a "btrfs" installation option to enable support for
  it. (This option is only available for non-live images.) Upcoming
  releases will integrate the snapshot functionality into the desktop
  while working on stabilization of the filesystem in parallel. Thanks
  to Josef Bacik, Btrfs filesystem developer at Red Hat, for
  filesystem work and the new yum plugin and Chris Ball from OLPC team
  for leading this effort.


* LVM Snapshots merging support. Recent LVM (and device-mapper)

  snapshot advances included in Fedora 13 allow system owners to merge
  an LVM snapshot back into the origin. In the process you can
  rollback the origin LV to the state it was in before the system
  upgrade. As noted earlier, the yum-snapshot-fs-plugin can work with
  both Btrfs and LVM volumes exposing this functionality and making it
  easier to use. This feature was developed and merged upstream by Red
  Hat's storage team.


* Virtualization enhancements. Fedora continues its leadership in
====Beats are open!====
  virtualization technologies with improvements to KVM such as Stable
  PCI Addresses and Virt Shared Network Interface technologies. Having
  stable PCI addresses will enable virtual guests to retain PCI
  addresses' space on a host machine. The shared network interface
  technology enables virtual machines to use the same physical network
  interface cards (NICs) as the host operating system. Fedora 13 also
  enhances performance of virtualization via VHostNet acceleration of
  KVM networking, Virtx2apic for enhanced guest performance on large
  multi-processor systems, and Virtio-Serial for simple IO between the
  guest and host user spaces. Thanks to the Red Hat virtualization
  team for their ongoing contributions.

  management. Brought into the fold as part of the Red Hat acquisition

Breaking News of the Week and Month

[Guidelines Change] Changes to the Packaging Guidelines

  • Contributor: [[User:Spot|Tom Callaway][1]
  • Posted Date: Wed Aug 1 19:28:57 UTC 2012[2]

"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. [3]

---

The review guidelines now reflect the use of sha256sum (instead of md5sum) to confirm upstream source integrity. [4]

---

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. [5] [6] [7]

---

A new section on Macros has been added to the Packaging Guidelines, covering Packaging of Additional RPM Macros. [8]

---

A new section on the Documentation= field in systemd unit files (F17+) has been added. [9]

---

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. [10]

---

The RHEL conditionalization has been removed from the Python3 example spec file, as it is no longer valid. [11]

---

These guidelines (and changes) were approved by the Fedora Packaging Committee (FPC).

Many thanks to Remi Collet, David Malcolm, Vit Ondruch, Lennart Poettering, Michael Scherer, Dave Sullivan, and all of the members of the FPC, for assisting in drafting, refining, and passing these guidelines.

As a reminder: The Fedora Packaging Guidelines are living documents! If you find something missing, incorrect, or in need of revision, you can suggest a draft change. The procedure for this is documented here: [12]"

Enclosure: Here is one late change to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines:[13] [14] [15]

FUDCon Paris Updates: Subsidy requests opening, hotel reminders

  • Contributor: Fedora Project Leader-[[User:Rbergero|Robyn Bergeron][1]
  • Posted Date: Fri Aug 3 17:00:53 UTC 2012[2]

"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:

1: Pre-register at [3] - and put an X in the $$$ column 2: Read about the funding request process and place a funding request ticket in the FUDCon-planning ticket tracker here: [4]

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: [5]"
