Fedora Extras, Fedora Core CVS Open!

Quote:
Want to be REAL sure you notice this:

http://www.redhat.com/magazine/002dec04/departments/fedora_status/

That's Right CVS is open - you need to run, don't walk, to:

http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com

It's all exciting - except for the boring parts.

Tomorrow morning we will have another exciting item for you but I'm busy
typing things and colin is on an airplane and all the other slackers are
sleeping or some such nonsense as that so you'll have to wait until the
morning.

Deal.

It's a bright, shiny, new day. But the fog isn't quite lifted yet.

Makefile 이나 spec은 볼 수가 있지만, src.rpm 이나 tag.bz2를 직접 다운 받을 수는 없군요.

// 인용된 것이 성사가 되야 소스를 바로 다운받아 보는 것이 가능하겠군요.

After CVS access, the next big technical milestone for Fedora is the creation of a build system for use by contributors. Three AMD64 servers have been set aside and are being configured for use as build systems for x86 and x86_64 packages. Access to these build systems will be provided to a limited number of Fedora Extras contributors, who will act as beta testers of the build system. During this time, we will be hammering out a number of build system work flow issues. For example:

* How is a package checked out of CVS and dropped into the build environment?
* What's the feedback mechanism for informing contributors about the status of their builds?
* What's the mechanism for placing a newly-built package in "quarantine" before its release?
* How do we identify and kill builds that have gone bad?

FC3용 Pre-Extras repository가 열렸습니다. fedora.us와 freshrpms.net에서 패키지들이 올라오는군요. 테스트가 충분치 않을수도 있으니 own risk로 사용하라는 주의 사항입니다.

The Fedora Project is officially launching Fedora Pre-Extras, to work
alongside Fedora Core 3 for i386 and x86_64 based platforms.

What is Pre-Extras?
It is our way of showing you that we've been working hard, as many
packages have been built, and are ready for distribution.

We are working very hard to make the build system work well, and the
infrastructure for this is almost ready, it just has a few kinks that we
are ironing out. As a measure of good faith, CVS for both Core and
Extras has already been opened.

While waiting for Extras to officially launch, use Pre-Extras today!

Where did all these packages come from?
These were packages from the now-merged Fedora.us repository as well as
freshrpms.net repository. So they maintain the same high quality
standards that was imposed previously.

So how do I get it?
Pre-Extras is currently hosted on the FedoraProject.org website, and is
available at:

http://fedoraproject.org/pre-extras/3/

It is available as a YUM repository, and an entry like the following
would suffice (in /etc/yum.conf):

[pre-extras]
name=Pre Extras
baseurl=http://fedoraproject.org/pre-extras/3/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1

There is a temporary Pre Extras GPG key, which all packages are signed
with. The fingerprint:

pub 1024D/1AC70CE6 2004-12-14 Fedora Pre Extras Release <pre-extras fedoraproject org>
Key fingerprint = 5389 DD00 C5BC 5168 12B4 3272 82ED 9504 1AC7 0CE6
sub 1024g/4E1A9D43 2004-12-14

To import the key:

rpm --import http://fedoraproject.org/pre-extras/RPM-GPG-KEY-Fedora-Pre-Extras

What about bugs?
If you find bugs in the packages, report them at the Fedora Extras
Bugzilla:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/

A cautionary note...
To paraphrase a Fedora Project contributor, Jef Spaleta, these packages
could eat babies; that is to say, they are built, signed, and ready for
use, but they have not gone through the rigorous QA testing that would
be expected normally from Extras. So if they break, submit a bug report,
but there are no implied warranties or guarantees that they will work.
Use these packages at your own risk!
