| ====Announcing the release of Fedora 14 Alpha!!====
| |
| Dennis Gilmore<ref>Dennis Gilmore dennis at ausil.us</ref> on Tue Aug 24 14:15:34 UTC 2010 announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2010-August/002852.html</ref>,"The Fedora 14 "Laughlin" Alpha release is available!".
| |
|
| |
| He also mentioned, "This release offers a preview of some of the best free and open source technology currently under
| |
| development. Catch a glimpse of the future:
| |
| http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease
| |
|
| |
| =====What is the Alpha release?=====
| |
| The Alpha release contains all the features of Fedora 14 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 14 is due in November.
| |
|
| |
| We need your help to make Fedora 14 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.)
| |
|
| |
| Fedora 14 is named in honor of distinguished physicist Robert B. Laughlin, whose fields of research have included, among other things, the topic of emergence. Emergence is the process by which a group of individual components interact to produce a system that is more complex than the sum of its parts - a perfect description of an open source community.
| |
|
| |
| =====Features=====
| |
| This release of Fedora includes a variety of features both over and under the hood that show off the power and flexibility of the advancing state of free software. Examples include:
| |
|
| |
| * '''System and session management.''' Fedora 14 introduces '''systemd''', a smarter, more efficient way of starting up and managing the background daemons that services we all use every day - such as '''NetworkManager''' & '''PulseAudio''' - rely on.
| |
| * '''Desktop virtualization'''. High-quality access to QEMU virtual machines moves a step closer with the introduction of '''Spice''', a complete open source solution for interaction with virtualized desktops.
| |
| * '''Faster JPEG compression/decompression'''. The replacement of '''libjpeg''' with '''libjpeg-turbo''' brings speed improvements to a wide range of applications when handling images in JPEG format, including photo managers, video editors and PDF readers.
| |
| * '''New and updated programming languages'''. Fedora 14 sees the introduction of '''D''', a systems programming language combining power and high performance with programmer productivity, as well as updates to '''Python''', '''Erlang''', and '''Perl'''.
| |
| * '''Better tools for developers'''. Simpler, faster debugging with '''gdb''' indexing and new commands for finding and fixing memory leaks, as well as new versions of '''NetBeans''' and '''Eclipse'''.
| |
| * '''The latest desktop environments'''. '''KDE 4.5''' introduces window tiling and better notification features, along with many stability improvements. '''Sugar 0.90''' features major usability improvements and support for 3G networks.
| |
| * '''Improved netbook experience with MeeGo™'''. The '''MeeGo™ Netbook UX 1.0''' provides a user interface tailored specifically for netbooks, building on the foundations laid by '''Moblin''' in previous Fedora releases.
| |
| * '''Fedora on the cloud'''. From Fedora 14 onward images for EC2 will be provided for each new release, allowing users of Amazon's on-demand cloud computing platform to use the latest Fedora.
| |
| * '''IPMI server management made simple'''. New to Fedora 14 is '''ipmiutil''', an easy-to-use, fully-featured IPMI server management utility that allows a wide range of management functions to be performed with just a few commands.
| |
| * '''Support for SCAP'''. Fedora 14 introduces an open source framework for the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP), allowing users to automatically scan their system to check whether it complies with a defined security configuration.
| |
| * '''Perl 6 support with Rakudo'''. Fedora 14 comes with Rakudo Perl, an implementation of the Perl 6 specification based on the Parrot virtual machine, which enables developers to write new applications or port existing ones to Perl 6.
| |
| * '''More powerful data analysis'''. Given that Fedora 14 is named after one of the giants of modern theoretical physics, it seems appropriate that Laughlin sees the introduction to Fedora of '''ROOT''', an obejct-oriented, open-source platform for data acquisition, simulation and data analysis developed by CERN. Support for the increasingly popular '''R''' statistical programming language is also broadened with a range of new addons.
| |
|
| |
| These and many other improvements provide a wide and solid base for future releases, further increasing the range of possibilities for developers and helping to maintain Fedora's position at the leading edge of free and open source technology.

| |
|
| |
| "'''The first Fedora 14 Alpha Go/No-Go Meeting was held 2010-08-12 at 12:00 UTC (so evening of 2010-08-11 in North America).''' The outcome of the meeting was a decision to slip the Alpha release by one week due to one bug agreed to be a definite blocker:
| |
|
| |
| <ref>https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623129</ref> "xdriver=vesa is not honored"
| |
|
| |
| and one bug that is potentially a blocker, pending more data:
| |
|
| |
| <ref>https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596985</ref> "hang at start of X11 on fresh install from DVD"
| |
|
| |
| All other bugs considered were agreed not to be release blockers and removed from the list.
| |
|
| |
| A slip announcement will be sent with more details on the slip specifically. We aim to build an RC4 tomorrow afternoon American time
| |
| (2010-08-12) with the fix for 623129 (and possibly fixes for a couple of other bugs we decided were not blockers but would be nice to fix), and continue to research 596985 to decide if it is a blocker. If we decide it is, an RC5 build will be required.

| |
| Robyn Bergeron Robyn<ref>Bergeron robyn.bergeron at gmail.com</ref> on Wed Aug 11 20:40:12 UTC 2010 announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2010-August/000659.html</ref>,
| |
|
| |
| "We need a slogan for the F14 release. '''A release slogan is a short call-to-action that fits the artwork theme from Design''', found at
| |
| <ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F14_release_slogan#Themes</ref>. (F13's slogan was "'''Rock it'''.")
| |
|
| |
| If you are interested in suggesting ideas for the release slogan, please take a look at the Release Slogan SOP, and the criteria for
| |
| selection, at <ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_slogan_SOP</ref>. The slogan must be:
| |
|
| |
| * short (1-3 words)
| |
| * a call to action
| |
| * positive
| |
|
| |
| It should reinforce that Fedora helps the user achieve something great. It should also reflect some of ideas and themes found in the
| |
| release artwork, and, if possible, also touch upon the Four Foundations (<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations</ref>).
| |
|
| |
| Please put your slogan ideas here:<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F14_release_slogan#New_slogan_ideas</ref>
| |
|
| |
| '''The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, August 17, at 21:00 UTC''', which is our next Marketing meeting(<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_meetings</ref>). We'll be discussing submissions there, and then the FPL, Mo Duffy, and the Marketing team lead (that's me!) will take that input and '''select the final slogan on Wednesday, August 18'''.

| Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns -- and let the wiki table know if you have any ideas!"

| ====One week slip of Fedora 14 schedule====
| |
| Jared K. Smith<ref>Jared K. Smith jsmith at fedoraproject.org</ref> on Thu Aug 12 01:57:40 UTC 2010 announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2010-August/000656.html</ref>,
| |
|
| |
| "Today we held our readiness meeting for the Alpha release of Fedora 14. As you may know, this is a meeting with representatives from the
| |
| Development, Release Engineering, and Quality Assurance teams. In these meetings, we evaluate the list of blocker bugs and give a "go"
| |
| or "no go" signal on the state of the Fedora release.
| |
|
| |
| You can read the minutes of the meeting here<ref>http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2010-08-12/gonogo.2010-08-12-00.00.html</ref>, but in short the decision was made that the release has not passed its release criteria<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_Alpha_Release_Criteria</ref>. When this happens, the entire release schedule is slipped by a week, and we work to get things in better shape for the next meeting. We'll get the schedule<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/14/Schedule</ref> updated in the next day or so, but in general this means that our '''general availability date for Fedora 14 has now gone from October 26th to November 2nd'''.
| |
|
| |
| During composition of any further release candidates, the Fedora Release Engineering and Quality Assurance teams plan to be quite conservative in the updates they pull into the release candidates, so that we don't inadvertently create more blocker bugs. '''I'd also like to thank those who have really pushed hard to try to get the Alpha into shape. In particular, the Release Engineering team put in a lot of extra hours to compose our release candidates, and the QA team did a fantastic job of testing the release candidates and knocking out as many blocker bugs as possible'''.
| |
|
| |
| While I regret the fact that the schedule has slipped, I'm confident it was the right decision to ensure that Fedora 14 is a rock-solid
| |
| release."

| ====155 more python packages need to be rebuilt for Python 2.7====
| |
| Nils Philippsen<ref>Nils Philippsen nils at redhat.com</ref> on Wed Aug 11 19:26:56 UTC 2010 announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2010-August/000658.html</ref>,
| |
|
| |
| "a lot of packages were rebuilt for Python 2.7 recently, but unfortunately they've turned out to be not all that needed rebuilding.
| |
| Essentially, all packages that contain .py files that aren't below /usr/lib(64)/python need to be rebuilt so that their respective
| |
| pre-built .pyc/.pyo files are built with the new Python version.
| |
|
| |
| If the packages aren't rebuilt, python will either attempt to rebuild the .pyc/.pyo files (and fail due to SELinux policy) during runtime (if run as root<ref>https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=621726 - 'SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python "write" access on /usr/share/system-config-firewall.'</ref>) or the program will take longer to startup because the python interpreter needs to parse the .py files everytime (and can't just use the respective .pyc/.pyo files since they're invalid).
| |
|
| |
| The reason why this hasn't been noticed/why those packages haven't been covered in the mass rebuild is because they don't require
| |
| "python(abi)" (which was used to find out which packages to rebuild) even though the contained .pyc/.pyo files clearly do. This is because
| |
| the pythondeps.sh used by rpmbuild only adds that dependency to packages which have modules in the standard paths<ref>https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623233 - 'python(abi)autodetection needed for all .py[co] files, not just those
| |
| beneath /usr/lib*/python*'</ref>.
| |
|
| |
| Thanks to Kalev Lember who wrote a script identifying the affected packages. Using its output, Dave Malcolm has just mass-filed bugs
| |
| against the packages which we could identify and he's looking to get these rebuilt en-masse as well. Owners or comaintainers still would need to file update requests so the packages actually end up where the users can get them ;-). For this purpose, I've attached two lists to this mail: one listing the affected packages and their owners and comaintainers, the other listing the affected packages each person owns or comaintains.
| |
|
| |
| Please file updates when your packages have been rebuilt and nag us if they don't get rebuilt in time, whatever that means.
| |
|
| |
| Thanks for your help"

| |
| "A new version of bodhi has just hit production. This release contains a number of bugfixes and improvements, along with some important process changes.
| |
| <ref>https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates</ref>

| - When someone tries to push an update to stable, bodhi will look to see if it has the appropriate karma, or if it has been in testing for more than N days.
| |
|
