Everyone, Just to make sure we're on the same page:
FL 2.1.2: ========= The last release of the FL 2.1 series (2.1.2) w/GNOME 2.26.3 is getting close to receiving its final updates. Today doniphon has cut a couple of new ISO s[1] with development tools (group-gnome-dist-devel) from the fl:2-qa label, which will work on hardware where 2.1.1 worked, but might not install smoothly on newer hardware. All things considered, we're hoping for a final promote from fl:2-qa to fl:2 tomorrow, Sunday, pending small fixes to multimedia and gnome-keyring PAM weirdness. [1] x86_64: http://www.rpath.org/web/project/foresight/build?id=23092 x86: http://www.rpath.org/web/project/foresight/build?id=23090 BIG FAT DISCLAIMER: The above images are targeted at developers and experienced users only as they might not install smoothly on hardware that only works on kernels >2.6.27! Anaconda installer progress: ============================ As I understand it, we use a custom version of the Anaconda installer which adds support for rPath specific technology. This in turn means that we cannot simply suck in a newer Anaconda version verbatim from upstream, so with that in mind the good news is that Mark Trompell and elliot are making steady progress with the update, which will see our Anaconda include a newer kernel (newer than 2.6.27 anyway) w/Ext4 support. This should allow us to have a decent install experience on newer hardware. FL 2.2: ======= The coming FL 2.2 series w/GNOME 2.2.28 now live on the fl:2-devel label. FL 2.2 will include new low level system stuff, so it might be a little while before it settles enough to not break. Expect to see: * Obviously GNOME 2.28 (we'll stay w/kernel 2.6.30.x for now) * HAL deprecation (moving to DeviceKit + udev) * PolicyKit major bump * PulseAudio bump * Clutter-1.x bump * Bluez bluetooth stack bump * Notification stack bump * wx* stack bump * move to plymouth+upstart (deprecating splashy) * Bump to all new Anaconda related low-level stuff, including: ** parted bump ** hal, gparted, pyparted, libvirt (from parted bump) ** mkinitrd (rebuilt to make it use new parted) REPO CLEANUP: ============= We need to get a picture of how many of the troves that currently live in fl:2-devel are not in any groups and, hence, will never be pulled into a normal fl:2 install unless specifically requested by the user from the fl:2-devel label: 1) conary rq --recurse group-wor...@fl:2 | grep foo and 2) conary rq foo=fl:2-devel if 1) is empty and 2) is non-empty, we have caught a dangling trove. Please consider chipping in with your investigations on the wiki here: http://wiki.foresightlinux.org/display/DEV/Foresight+2.1.2+Release+Roadmap (scroll down to the 'Sprints' header) Also note that we still have quite a few unresolved bugs filed against 2.1.2. Please look them over to see if perhaps you can spot something you know how to fix or that you are at least willing to work on. -ermo _______________________________________________ Foresight-devel mailing list Foresight-devel@lists.rpath.org http://lists.rpath.org/mailman/listinfo/foresight-devel
