no mention of interface naming in Fedora 19 Release Notes
Fedora 19 has gone through yet another change to how network interfaces are renamed (biosdevname, etc.). This isn't mentioned in the Changes in Fedora for System Administrators section of the Release Notes, though it does seem to be in the Changes for Desktop Users section. Is there any reason that this isn't mentioned in the Changes in Fedora for System Administrators section of the Release Notes, and is it too late to add it there? -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

This isn't mentioned in the Changes in Fedora for System Administrators section of the Release Notes, though it does seem to be in the Changes for Desktop Users section. It is mentioned in the Networking section. The entire document is arguably relevant to a sysadmin, but I can see where placing that in the higher level Desktop category might be confusing. This bears examination for the next release, IMO. Is there any reason that this isn't mentioned in the Changes in Fedora for System Administrators section of the Release Notes, and is it too late to add it there? Many changes could arguably fit into multiple beats - subcategories in the document - and we try to pick the most appropriate one. Desktop changes vs system administrator changes is mostly a way to organize content rather than define scope, and perhaps an unneeded one. Yes, it is too late to change this. I might take time away from other work for outright factual errors and such, but not for an aesthetic reorganization. By the way, d...@lists.fedoraproject.org might be more appropriate. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 -- --Pete -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

By the way, there is one of those: the same entry mentions /etc/system/network-scripts/ instead of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/. But most people who are using this information probably know the layout well enough to not get too confused. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
