FAQ: Do i need to re-install F15 final release when it's out?

ANS: No, just keep your system updated on a daily basis and it'll switch automatically to the final release :)

Hi,

This is just the start of the development process and it is very likely more features will be proposed and accepted by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.

Rahul,

what are the chances Grub2 1.99 being accepted once released?

Hi,

It will be available as a parallel installation option under the package name grub2 as it is already. However noone is driving the effort to make it default if that was your question.

I don't like Grub2 very much because the configuration is more difficult thann in Grub Legacy…

I wonder if Fedora will ever join Debian and go to eglibc.

No offense to RedHat, but I would've fired somebody like Ulrich Drepper in a heart beat.

It would make programming in C for Fedora a lot easier too. :/ glibc lags severely behind Mac OSX's and Windows' C libraries, and a hostile, unresponsive developer isn't helping.

That's a rather short feature list for 15.

The feature submission deadline is on January 25, which is lots of time to consider and add if need be:

eglibc is not really any sort of major change. Its mostly just makefile changes. Otherwise it is source and binary compatible.

I used it and learned all the scripts when it first came out, then decided to edit grub.cfg directly. Haven't looked back. The simplest way of handling grub2.

I know about all the "disadvantages" of editing grub.cfg. I have't had one error yet, and I've been doing this for a long time now. I don't use any special grapics for grub2 just the basics. I look at the grub menu all of 2 seconds anyway.

When going from Beta to the Final Release, do you just do 'yum update' to upgrade all the packages?

I see that Final RC was supposed to be released yesterday, and yet when I go to mirrors they all seem to have the beta iso from April 8.

Am I missing something?

There are a handful of blocker bugs preventing the creation of the RC release, including:



https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697834
697834 :: NEW :: gnome-menus :: rstrode
Other menu appears in default installation (any .desktop entry
with Category=Settings ends up here (even if there's also Category=System))

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693809
693809 :: ASSIGNED :: imsettings :: tagoh
Error message about missing input methods should be removed

Looks like they're dealing with them quickly now, at least.

They're apparently pulling Pino from the default install as well...

Good stuff, I cant wait for the full release.

I have a couple of friends looking to test the Final RC that is why I asked about it, but I am opting for the full release.
It looks like G3 is shaping up to be a neat experience. I have seen many negative reviews but I think that is simply "change". Many people do not like what they know to change that drastically.

I liked G2 better than XFCE, LXDE, and even KDE4 but I am always willing to try new ideas so on to G3!
