Not true, that sentence is there to cope with projects which don't bother
including the license as required (see also the "should have received"
wording).
Section 4 of the GPLv3 actually requires you to:
"give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program."
Likewise, section 1 of the GPLv2 requires you to:
"give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with
the Program."

%config files and upgrade to F11 - consider noreplace
by Miloslav Trmač
Hello,
(If you are on a Bcc:, this e-mail directly affects one of your
packages.)
Because the Fedora 11 RPM packages will use SHA-256 for file digests in
the RPM headers, upgrades from earlier releases to Fedora 11 will
replace user-modified %config files (without noreplace) by their
original versions, and rename the user-modified files to *.rpmsave.
The Fedora packaging guidelines already suggest using %config(noreplace)
in most cases:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingGuidelines#Configuration_files .
Please review use of %config without noreplace in your packages, and add
noreplace if appropriate. The list of affected packages is below.

lcms-libs doesn't requires lcms anymore - please check:
by Nicolas Chauvet
Hello!
As requested in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452352
There is a need to remove the dependency on lcms from lcms-libs to
avoid a circle dependency.
Packages that was already using the lcms binaries (1) without linking
to the library should already requires lcms.
So , if there is any case where a package links to liblcms.so, and at
the same time, has one of it's component that use one of the lcms
binaries (2), please make this package requires: lcms. (or the binary
path/name itself).

add a special Provides: to all login manager packages
by Chris Lumens
Anaconda needs to know whether it should set the default runlevel to 3
or 5. We do this by determining whether or not a package containing a
login manager has been installed. Right now we just have a list of
packages that contain login managers. Sometimes, we get bitten by that
- like when kdm moved to a new package, or now when we have a bug report
regarding slim (#485789).
Since hardcoded lists always suck, I'm therefore proposing that all
packages containing a login manager include a special Provides: that we
can query on. Then nobody ever has to come asking for a change again,
and if package names change, it's fine.
Thoughts?

New kernel-doc only sometimes has an issue
by Bruno Wolff III
I noticed today in rawhide that when kernel-doc isn't built for a kernel,
it isn't included at all. I thought the intention was to include the
latest kernel-doc that was built?

RedHat does not optimize common licenses at all.
Each package bears a copy of its own license, which is typically
installed in /usr/share/doc/<pkgname>/COPYING or similar.

Seems like a great idea to me... But I think it already came up some
time ago, and I vaguely remember that RH legal blocked it because the
license itself -- not just a symlink to it -- had to accompany the
package.

initrd question
by Richard W.M. Jones
At the moment mkinitrd goes through a big hoo-hah where it tries to
determine what precise set of kernel modules are needed to mount the
root filesystem, and no more.
But I don't understand why we don't just put every possible block
device driver / LVM / crypto module / etc. into the initrd. The
ramdisk is discarded as soon as the root filesystem is mounted, so at
most we're saving a few kilobytes of disk space. At the same time,
mkinitrd is massively more complicated than it really needs to be, and
initrd images are non-portable between machines[*].
The particular problem I am encountering is with P2V and V2V
conversions. Because typically virtio-blk drivers aren't included, we
have to take extra steps to run 'mkinitrd --with virtio_pci --with
virtio_blk'. Doing this from a script is not just massively
complicated (we have to run it within the context of a guest
filesystem probably located inside a raw disk image), but completely
unnecessary if initrd just included all the drivers in the first
place.
Thoughts?
Rich.
[*] They would still hard-code the root and swap partition names, but
I think it should be possible to get rid of those too and make initrd
images really portable.
