| |

| ====Fedora 12 Beta Release Rescheduled to 2009-10-20====
| |
| [[User:Poelstra|John Poelstra]] announced <ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-October/msg00003.html</ref> that the Fedora 12 Beta Release rescheduled<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/12/Schedule</ref> to October 20th,2009.
| |
| | |
| He said,"At the Release Engineering meeting today<ref>https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-October/msg00244.html</ref>it was noted that we still do not have a beta RC composed because a few blocker bugs remain.
| |
| The decision was made to move the Fedora 12 Beta Release date to 2009-10-20 instead of its scheduled date of 2009-10-13 (one week from Tuesday). The original intention was also to move the final release date of Fedora 12 to 2009-11-17, but that decision has been deferred until Thursday while the Infrastructure team researches some issues related to an upcoming data center move.
| |
| The next meeting to determine the final release date for Fedora 12 will be this Thursday, 2009-10-08 at 18:00 UTC (2 PM EDT) in #fedora-meeting. After that meeting all of the detailed Fedora 12 team schedules will be fully updated to reflect the plan of record.
| |
| REMINDER: we are in and will remain in FINAL FREEZE for Fedora 12. This is not a new opportunity for more time to continue development work or squeeze more bug fixes into Fedora 12. A new branch is already open where this work can continue for Fedora 13.<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Beta_Freeze_Policy</ref>"

| ====Heads-up: rb_libtorrent bump (Rawhide), rebuilds required====
| |
| [[User:Pgordon|Peter Gordon]] said<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2009-October/msg00001.html</ref>, "I just pushed an update to rb_libtorrent 0.14.16 in rawhide (F13+),
| |
| which bumps the library soname from "libtorrent-rasterbar.so.3" to
| |
| "libtorrent-rasterbar.so.5".
| |
| | |
| Because of this change, applications which use this library will need to
| |
| be rebuilt. According to repoquery, these are qbittorrent and
| |
| springlobby (maintainers CC-ed). I've successfully rebuilt these two
| |
| packages locally (from their CVS devel/ branches) with this update
| |
| earlier today and did not see any problems, so I don't expect any issues
| |
| in updating.
| |
| | |
| Packages such as Deluge and Miro which use rb_libtorrent through its
| |
| Python bindings remain unaffected by this change.
| |
| | |
| Please let me know if there are any related problems or questions as
| |
| they arise."
