[Mageia-dev] Mageia marketing plan is on the way, proposals and team reports needed

2011-04-13 Thread Marcello Anni
Hi,

i'm working on a Marketing plan for Mageia in order to define a coherent growth 
of the project, both in the hard  side and in the soft side of it.

At this stage i need:

- a report for each team

* It should contain current manpower, level (and trend) of activities, current 
tasks, available infos and statistics. 
* if possibile it's better if made by the team leader (naturally he can share 
all the members toughts)
* about sensitive data:  is better to send an e-mail directely to my e-mail 
adress (this)

- proposals to be added in the marketing plan

They should contain ideas about:
 *  Vision (which needs mageia project should satisfy in a long-term 
horizont?)
 *  Mission (how can be satisfied these long-term needs in a mid-term 
horizont?)
 *  possible strategies (what can be done to satisfy these mid-term needs?)
 *  action plan (which aspects should be improved in a short term horizont?)
 *  threats and opportunities of the project


Please, try to be short and precise. i'm waiting your inputs!


cheers,
Marcello

 Hi,

Hi

Thanks for your enthousiasm. But before mailing all mailing-lists on
earth you should not forget you are working in a community project.
You cannot decide in one way such things. Please check first with
marketing team, they are looking for volunteers to work with but in a
collaborative way.


Thanks for advance

[Mageia-dev] Packages management

2011-04-13 Thread Anne nicolas
Hi there

Following packagers meeting tonight, one of the priority for coming
weeks will be to fix bad or missing dependancies. You can follow it
here:
http://check.mageia.org/

If you submit new packages or update some please have a look on
missing deps list as you may have added some inside. Notification will
be setup later for submiter.

On this page you will find also updates that are available if we
compare Mageia packages versions / other distributions. But please
keep in mind this is information and it's not mandatory. PLease have a
look on http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=sensitive_packages. This
wiki page lists sensitive packages that should not be updated without
asking on ML or IRC. Mtentors will also inform trainees about this.
Please add SRPMS on it if you think about some.

As a reminder version freeze is planned for 20th of april.

Cheers

[Mageia-dev] dhcp-client is borked as of today

2011-04-13 Thread Frank Griffin
It writes a search line to /etc/resolv.conf of the not-fully-qualified 
hostname rather than the domain names returned by the DHCP server.


For instance, if the hostname is ftglap and the domain names returned 
by the server are x.y.z y.z, you get search ftglap rather than  
search x.y.z y.z as you used to get prior to the last update.


Ring a bell with anyone ?  I'm not sure if this is worth a bug report, 
unless it was a conscious decision that needs to be contested.

This was for an NM-controlled wireless NIC.  On a desktop host for a 
wired NIC not controlled by NM, there is now no search line at all.


[Mageia-dev] Will localized LiveCD available for beta2?

2011-04-13 Thread You-Cheng Hsieh
Hello,
Will localized LiveCDs be available for beta2 to test?

If they are only available for RC, it might be too late to find out or
fix any possible critical bug in localized Live media. I really would
like to test it as early as possible, so that we have time to report
bugs that only reproducible in (localized) live CD.


Best Regards,

You-Cheng Hsieh
