Reason for Outage:
hosted1.fedoraproject.org (the primary fedorahosted host) has been
throwing memory errors so we have a ticket open to fix it.  There is a 4
hour window for them to work on it though it's not likely to be down that
whole time so the actual outage should be much smaller.

Please join #fedora-admin in irc.freenode.net or respond to this email to

====%cmake macro usage, dropping -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH:BOOL=ON====
[[User:Rdieter|Rex Dieter]] informed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2010-January/000545.html</ref> the list that "If you're the maintainer of a cmake-based package, and use the %cmake macro, be aware I just implemented a change in rawhide (to cmake-2.8.0-2) to drop the usage of -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH:BOOL=ON
as previously discussed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2009-October/thread.html
</ref>.
If you want or need to continue with the old behavior, use %cmake %{?_cmake_skip_rpath}
NOTE: At the time of writing this, kde4 packages that use the %cmake_kde4 macro still use %{_cmake_skip_rpath} by default (at least until we can sort out other rpath-related issues in kde4's buildsystem)."

    >> Feature Freeze: Tuesday, February 9, 2010 <<


I just did a quick review of the accepted pages we have so far for Fedora 13 and there are a few that have not been updated since November 2009 or before. I made this determination based on the information in the "Current Status" section of your feature page.
"At Feature Freeze all new features for the release should be substantially complete and in a testable state, including enabled by default if so specified by the feature. In the Fedora development process, all new feature work is completed by Feature Freeze and tested during the test releases: Alpha and Beta."
