We worked hard on making kdelibs3 apps work well in KDE Plasma 4 sessions. Trying to support Trinity sessions too is going to make a big mess. Another big problem is that current Trinity isn't even binary-compatible with KDE 3.5 anymore, which makes its kdelibs not suitable to run existing KDE 3 binaries, even though (last I checked) they didn't bump the sonames. (I think renaming all libraries like MATE is doing is actually not that bad an idea if you have no clue about binary compatibility and are going to horribly break it.)

Fedora 16 Beta on Power ready for testing!
Long time in the making, but at long last after 6 weeks of hard work the Fedora Secondary Arch Team for Power finally managed to get the Fedora 16 Beta release done! Available from mirrors now here: https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/16/ppc64/ under releases/test/16-Beta/ or directly from here: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/test/16-Beta/ A lot of the issues we still had for Alpha have been fixed since then. The most noticeable ones are: * Firefox-8 works now on 32bit and 64bit out of the box * Gnome3 Desktop no more segfaulting * Qt4 not segfaulting all of KDE anymore * Various anaconda issues (serial console, garbled fonts to name a few) * Filesystem encryption password check working now * Numerous rebuild failures More details about this Beta release can be found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_16_Beta_PPC_release_notes and we do have an official release announcement as well here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F16_Beta_PPC_release_announcement I want to thank everyone involved in making this happen, it's been a pretty long stretch with quite a few hurdles, but we finally got the first big milestone done towards the goal to get a Fedora 16 on Power out. We're working full steam now to get GA done by 21. of December. As usual, the whole team can typically be found on the #fedora-ppc IRC channel on FreeNode and via our email list: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/ppc And we have our Secondary Arch wiki with (decently) updated information: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/PowerPC Thanks regards, Phil -- Philipp Knirsch | Tel.: +49-711-96437-470 Supervisor Core Services | Fax.: +49-711-96437-111 Red Hat GmbH | Email: Phil Knirsch pknir...@redhat.com Hauptstaetterstr. 58 | Web: http://www.redhat.com/ D-70178 Stuttgart, Germany -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

It is not useful to generalize. There are lots of software components which aren't actively maintained but are useful to have in the distribution and all distributions have them however a desktop environment is a lot of work to maintain (as seen for instance in http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1901) and if upstream is not active, then any potential needs to be aware of this before volunteering this feature.

DWARF 4
Are there known obstacles in the way of replacing -g with -gdwarf-4
-fvar-tracking-assignments in our %{optflags}? I'm eager to be rid
of gdb telling me that the one value I really have to know to diagnose
a crash has been optimized away. Are there bits of the toolchain that
can't handle DWARF 4? Will debuginfo grow significantly in size?
Just curious, because I've taken to use -gdwarf-4
-fvar-tracking-assignments in the projects I work on for my employer.
I haven't had a problem yet, and just wondered if there's a brick wall
up ahead somewhere...

For -OX -g (for X != 0) -fvar-tracking-assignments is the default
and in F16+ GCC also -gdwarf-4 is the default (with -fno-debug-types-section
, as .debug_types is still not supported by many tools and has lots of
unsolved problems even on its own, but otherwise you get all the DWARF4
goodies and in F16 also a bunch of new extensions).
F16 gdb doesn't support DW_OP_entry_value and typed DWARF stack extensions
I think, you need to wait for F17 for that.

Instead: * build libquvi * request a buildroot override through: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/override/list * wait ~30-60 minutes for the override to take effect (Koji needs time to compose a new buildroot repository with the new override). You can use: koji wait-repo --build=libquvi-$version-$release f16-build to check, it will return when the new package is available in the buildroot (or immediately if it already was in the buildroot when you ran the command). * if any other quvi package is needed to build dependent packages, do the same for those * build the dependent packages * delete the buildroot override through: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/override/list when you don't need it anymore - create an update in bodhi with all the new packages Yes.

Re: MATE desktop environment (GNOME 2 fork)
Rahul Sundaram wrote: It is not useful to generalize. There are lots of software components which aren't actively maintained but are useful to have in the distribution and all distributions have them however a desktop environment is a lot of work to maintain (as seen for instance in http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1901) and if upstream is not active, then any potential needs to be aware of this before volunteering this feature. If someone really wants to still do it, there is nothing in Fedora stopping it from happening. I was merely raising a potential issue to think about in advance. Software with dead or almost dead upstream is a two-edged sword: * If the software is working well, that's the software which is easiest to maintain, since there are generally few to no new upstream releases to take care of. :-) (But if it's something like Trinity, which manages to churn out release after release with a single maintainer, including binary-incompatible library changes, that's also not the case. But I'd place that in the below paragraph anyway. ;-) There are literally THOUSANDS of KDE 3 bugs closed as fixed in KDE SC 4.) * If the software has many bugs, it's the software which is hardest to maintain, because then YOU as the Fedora maintainer are on the hook for fixing those bugs. Unfortunately, a desktop environment tends to be in the latter situation. So I'm sceptical about MATE (seeing what's going on with Trinity) and I can only strongly discourage attempting to package Trinity.

How to prevent a binary from being stripped by rpmbuild?
Hi, How do I prevent rpmbuild from attempting to strip a particular binary? The problem is that the binary was cross-compiled and is not of the same architecture as the normal Fedora binutils.

There no real need for those desktops because Gnome 3 refugees could also use Lxde or Xfce which already feel like Gnome 2 wich some customization work.

You probably need to disable debuginfo packages if that is the case.
You might also want to redefine %{__strip} to the appropriate
cross-strip utility, or /bin/true. Something like:
%define debug_package %{nil}
%define __strip /bin/true

[Test-Announce] 2011-12-12 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora QA Meeting provisionally CANCELLED
Hi, folks. As no agenda items other than the standard catch-ups have been proposed via the list or on the Wiki page, and we have no action items from last week's meeting to catch up with, the 2011-12-12 meeting is provisionally cancelled, per the meeting SOP: there's no point having a meeting just for the sake of having a meeting. If anyone knows of any important issues we should discuss at a meeting, please reply to this message and/or add the topic to the proposed agenda at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Meetings/20111212 . If any proposed agenda items are received, the meeting will be back on, and I'll send out an updated announcement. Otherwise, everyone can do something more important!
