FESCo wants a more sane updates policy (feedback requested)

I'm putting my thoughts here... but this is again one of those threads
that has about 500 forks and people nit picking back and forth, so I am
never sure where to do a general reply. ;)

First some background:

a. There is no policy to discuss here, as we don't yet have a proposal.
I would expect after a draft is constructed it would be posted here for
feedback and more input.

b. Given a, I would say people should stop posting to this thread. If
you have a better updates policy in mind, perhaps you could draft up a
proposal for what you think it should be?

Any takers for gpsdrive ?

Greetings.

I'd like to find some folks interested in co-maintaining or just fully
maintaining gpsdrive. It's a nifty gps app that lets you download maps
and follow progress and publish your location.

This package requires a good bit of work, and I just haven't had the
time to sit down and poke at it. It currently fails to build (again) in
rawhide.

Outstanding bugs:

555961 Fedora new FTBFS gpsdrive-2.10-0.4.pre7.fc13
551769 Fedora assigned [abrt] crash detected in gpsdrive-2.10-0.4.pre7.fc12

Any interested parties let me know and I can release ownership/approve
your co-maintaining.

Sources file audit - 2010-01-06

Here's another (more accurate/correct) run of the sources file
checker. Thats against a 2010-01-06 cvs checkout seed.

This sourcecheck script takes a full checkout of all Fedora packages
in the devel branch and runs 'spectool -g' on each spec file to
download any sources that contain a valid URI. It then checks any
downloaded source files against the 'sources' file and the checksum of
the source in our lookaside cache.

- There are 1391 lines in this run.

Proposal: fedora-release-rawhide subpackage

Greetings.

I'd like to propose splitting out
the /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo file into a
fedora-release-rawhide subpackage which is NOT installed by default or
shipped on the live media.

I wrote up this using the Feature template, but I don't guess it's
really that much of a feature:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RawhideRepoSubpackage

(except in that it needs coordination across the distro and docs
updates, etc).

Thoughts?

(either here or the talk page of the above wiki link).

Thanks,

kevin

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST: Re: Sources file audit - 2010-01-05

Argh.

It looks like some or all of the spec files in this run were from an
old checkout I had instead of the new one. ;(

I'm going to run a clean checkout and re-run the checker now, so expect
a more up to date output in a few days. ;(

Sorry about this folks. Please wait for the new output...

Sources file audit - 2010-01-05

Here's attached another run of my sources/patches url checker.

This sourcecheck script takes a full checkout of all Fedora packages
in the devel branch and runs 'spectool -g' on each spec file to download
any sources that contain a valid URI. It then checks any downloaded
source files against the 'sources' file and the checksum of the source
in our lookaside cache.
