Thoughts on Fedora Core

I’m really enthusiastic about the Fedora Core Project, finally a chance for the community to get involved in shaping the best distribution out there. I’m doing my bit to help out.

Firstly I’ve installed the latest beta on my primary desktop. It’s working fine.

Secondly I’ve undertaken to get gtkmm and associated packages into fedora. We’ve had some success as gtkmm-2.2.8 is ready to go. There is quite a way to go yet, as there are heaps of gnomemm packages and each of them will need to be submitted, tested and distributed. However life is a little bit easier because Murray Cumming has stated that he’ll accept necessary patches to the spec file, so any fancy spec wizardry will be maintained upstream.

I’ve setup another site to track the packages I maintain, www.koziarski.org will have links to all the packages and updates when they become available. However chances are most of the content will stay on koziarski.net.
