IRC Announcement
Since its beginnings, the Fedora Project has used the freenode IRC network for our project communications. Due to a variety of recent changes to that network, the Fedora Project is moving our IRC communications to Libera.Chat. If you are a current IRC user, please go and register your nick(s) on Libera.Chat ( https://libera.chat/guides/registration#registering ) and rejoin the #fedora related channels you wish to. You can take this opportunity to choose a new secure password and make sure you are connecting via SSL. There is good documentation about choosing an IRC client at https://libera.chat/guides/clients If you are a Matrix user, we ask for your patience as we get bridges setup on the new network. If you were joined to rooms via the generic freenode bridge, you will need to leave them and rejoin the fedora rooms in matrix (which will be plumbed with the Libera channels) As of 2021-05-28 our official IRC presence is on irc.libera.chat. Many Fedora channels have moved over and are ready on Libera.Chat. However, less-used channels have not be automatically setup. If you need a specific #fedora-* IRC channel setup, please file a ticket at http://pagure.io/irc requesting the channel. New channels should have the same name as they did on freenode. For example: #fedora, #fedora-admin, #fedora-devel, and #fedora-join. If you would like a fedora IRC ‘cloak’ you can request it at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LiberaCloaks (an IRC cloak obfuscates your client host address and shows ‘fedora’ instead). Please note that cloaks are not foolproof, there are ways for people to still get your IP, but they do make it more difficult for people to obtain your IP. Also, look for upcoming exciting announcements around Fedora’s Matrix presence. nb ___ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

F35 Change: Support using a GPT partition table in Kickstart (System-Wide Change proposal)
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/InstallGPTwithKickstart == Summary == Add support for configuring GPT partition table in kickstart without requiring a custom pre-installation script or a custom boot script. [[Category:SystemWideChange]] == Owners == * Name: [[User:Davdunc|David Duncan]], [[User:Chrismurphy|Chris Murphy]], [[User:Salimma|Michel Alexandre Salim]], [[User:Dcavalca|Davide Cavalca]], [[User:Ngompa|Neal Gompa]], [[User:Dustymabe|Dusty Mabe]] * Email: davd...@amazon.com, chrismur...@fedoraproject.org, mic...@michel-slm.name, dcava...@fb.com, ngomp...@gmail.com, du...@dustymabe.com * Products: Fedora Cloud Edition * Responsible WGs: Fedora Cloud WG == Detailed Description == Fedora Cloud Edition wants to use a GPT partition table; however, it is not possible to force the creation of an image with the GPT partition table with our current tooling because Anaconda requires setting inst.gpt as a kernel boot parameter to do it. This Change proposes to add a way to declare this via kickstart so that the Cloud Edition image builds can create images using the GPT partition table using the current tooling (which is built on Anaconda). == Benefit to Fedora == Users will be able to install systems with a GPT partition table via kickstart without requiring an extensive custom pre-installation script or a custom boot script. Disk images produced using the Anaconda tooling (Oz/ImageFactory, Lorax) can also trivially make images with GPT partition tables. This makes it possible to create hybrid BIOS+UEFI boot images, given [[Changes/UnifyGrubConfig|the changes to GRUB configuration from Fedora Linux 34]]. == Scope == * Proposal Owners ** Review and discuss with the Anaconda maintainers and determine the next steps for support of the inst.gpt in pykickstart ** Work with Anaconda maintainers to implement in Anaconda * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/10137 #10137] * Policies and guidelines: N/A * Trademark approval: N/A == How to test == Build images using virt-install with kickstarts that have the option set. Verify that the disk partition table is properly configured as GPT. Verify that without the option set, it uses legacy MBR. == User Experience == * Allows for the use of the standard pykickstart directive for specifying the preference for GPT partition. == Dependencies == * Anaconda [https://anaconda-installer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boot-options.html#inst-gpt inst.gpt] -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis ___ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
