Hi, We definitely want to allow topic branches pushed to the main repo.  I think we'll have to agree on a namespace to use for these, perhaps following the dist-cvs example and call them private-* The way the ACL system works is that it matches on the refs you're pushing up, so for packages

Hi, Right, showing an unexpected password dialog at boot with no prompt is a serious bug.  It's the bug in dracut I think we need to fix. Just for my information, do I read this correctly that dracut/plymouth is supposed to show a graphical password prompt to unlock encrypted partitions at

Hi, What do others think?  Should the LiveCD by default access and activate storage volumes, including encrypted partitions, on the hard disks?  Should the LUKS prompts better identify the volume so that users know what passphrase to enter? This seems like a misfeature in dracut for LiveCD or

Hi, 2. to GDM maintainers: Is it possible to change the list of languages dynamically (based on the language-supports installed) on the GDM login screen? We only show a language in the language list if 1) It's got at least one translation in /usr/share/locale 2) it's recognized by libc as a
