= Fedora Release Engineering Meeting :: Monday 2008-02-04 =

Alpha

 * Tuesday the bit gets flipped
 * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/9/AlphaTreeTesting is the test status page

Reversing the netapp streams

 * scheduled for today--we're working on pushing it back after the alpha
 * change setup so that the content we generate in PHX can be put on a netapp in PHX
 * instead of rsynced to RDU to be put on a netapp in RDU, and then mirrored by netapp back out to PHX
 * this will result in shorter times between compose and visible to the world for things like rawhide and updates
 * may delay the rawhide/updates for a bit

gcc 4.3

 * gcc4.3 is in the buildroots for dist-f9 now, and some fallout has happened, namely kernel.
 * striving to complete a mass rebuild before beta release

perl-5.10.0

 * Feature page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Perl510
 * 300 perl dependent packages as a sample set
 * these packages were the base for which virtually all of the other perl dependent packages depend on
 * out of those 300 about 60 more to build
 * once complete the plan is to merge the new perl and the rebuilt bits into rawhide
 * Fedora is the place where perl-5.10 was really first tested/used and the development ground for getting all the upstreams ported to the new perl
