Strange - just tried a yum clean all followed by yum install
glibc-devel.i686 libgcc.i686 on Kevin's F16 test machine - maybe
whatever issue with glibc-devel in the repos has been fixed now?

I don't think you should need to copy files manually like that - just
install glibc-devel.i686 and libgcc.i686.

There was an unplanned outage for this yesterday and today:

It's currently waiting on newRepo tasks before builds will go through

This sounds like a good thing to have as an SELinux boolean, so you can
probably get that added to selinux-policy and then tell users of your
package to turn the boolean on.

Hi, I use this packge, so I'd be interested in maintaining it.  I've
requested ACLs in pkgdb.

Thanks for maintaining it for all this time!

Hi, this shoud be fixed now - start.fp.o has been switched to show
messages from devel-announce, so posts will have to pass moderation
before they're shown on the website now.

Sorry, these are omissions on our part.  All packagers have edit
access to the Fedora wiki, push access to comps on fedorahosted, and all
Fedora Accounts are able to login to fedorahosted trac instances (with
no special privileges by default).

We found no unverifed Fedora wiki edits or pushes to comps from the
account in question.

Good point.  We don't run those machines, and all packagers have sudo
there , so Fedora packagers should consider it unsafe to forward their
SSH agent or enter any sensitive information on those machines.  We'll
get in touch with Kevin about checking those machines though.

Thanks,
Ricky

Sorry, I missed up the date here, it should have been 2010-12-22.

Also, the outage is now over.  The database logs confirm that apart from
our testing, the vulnerability was never exploited on our wordpress
instance.

I think the version in moreutils is different from the GNU one, which

In order for this to happen, the user would have to explicitly take down
the generated AES key while it is being written to the key and then
submit it to the other site.  I don't think this is really something we
need to worry about.

I don't think yum requests packages specifically from mirrormanager.  It
gets a mirror URL from mirrormanager, then downloads everything else
directly from the mirror that it gets back.

I'm not crazy about this change.  A lot of people are probably used to 
using single user mode with forgotten root passwords, and documentation, 
etc. would need to be switched to use init=/bin/sh instead.

Are there alternative simple fixes, like maybe running su --login or 
something like that?

From https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/kernel, it 
looks like kernel actually has provenpackager commits on, so this should
