Provenpackager? Want to help out?
by Jon Ciesla
Hey!
As you're aware, as of F15 we changed our default init system from
sysvinit to systemd. But we have lots and lots of packages with
daemons, and not all have thus far been migrated. Some maintainers
haven't responded, some are too busy, some aren't sure how to go about
it. In many cases, unit files have been posted by helpful individuals
(Thanks Jóhann B. Guðmundsson!) but they're not yet in the packages.
If you're a Provenpackager, check out these two tracking bugs:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=713562
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=751869 (mostly this one)
And have a look at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Systemd
Look through, find something that looks manageable, and volunteer.
Most maintainers will be receptive, I think, but remember, offer/ask
before jumping in. If they're not responsive, we'll cross that bridge
separately.
Thanks in advance!
-J

Orphaning insight
by Patrick Monnerat
I'm afraid I've just orphaned the insight debugger.
It now miss dependency iwidgets, that was a working up-to-date package
orphaned after the forced password change of last year, unperformed by
the iwidgets package owner.
I don't want to start I new troll on this subject: this has already been
widely discussed :-(
But my total disapprobation about this practice encourages me to not
continue support for this product.
If someone wants to adopt this package, please do.
Cheers,
Patrick

F17 x86_64 composes
by Mike Chambers
Noticed that x86_64 tree is still NOT installable, as in no boot.iso or
anything. Is this going to remain that way for awhile?

by Pavel Alexeev
Hello.
ImageMagick-6.7.6-5 will land to rawhide in short time. Soname change
happened (.so.5), so dependency rebuild needed.
