I use this wiki page mainly to collect information about Fedora that I find useful in a chaotic way, so please don't be offended by the following chaos:

Package DB Hacking
From: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-October/msg01439.html There are also a few features related to filtering of results that have been enabled. There isn't a UI element for them yet but power users who are willing to edit their URLs can limit what is displayed on the package page according to the release by doing something like this:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/yum/Fedora%20EPEL/ https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/yum/Fedora https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/yum/Fedora/devel

You can also limit what is displayed on the user overview of packages like so:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/toshio?acls=owner https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/toshio?acls=owner,commit

The acls that you can list in the acls field are: owner,commit,approveacls,watchbugzilla,watchcommits

Xinf aliases hwdata
alias pcivideo:v00008086d00007121sv*sd*bc*sc*i* intel  # i810
 * https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-October/msg02562.html

pcivideo is a tag understood by kudzu to mean that this line describes an X driver. The lowercase letters (v, d, sv, sd, bc, sc, i) are the various PCI ID fields: vendor, device, subvendor, subdevice, base class, subclass, and ASIC revision. Normally you only need to use the first two. Then the third word is the driver name you want for that chip. Comments are optional but are greatly appreciated.

The * wildcards are like shell, not like regex. Numeric values _must_ be in uppercase hexadecimal; don't try to specify nvidia hardware with 000010de or you will be sadly disappointed. Multiple matches are possible, last match wins, but it's best if you don't have to rely on that accidental feature.

SELinux

 * restorecon relabels files with type file_t (which means the file has no label)
 * mount -o context=system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 /dev/mapper/tmp /tmp - correct context for /tmp filesystem
