Projects >   Fedora Projects Weekly Report

Status
Lot of fun with GNOME this week. Random stuff broke, then was fixed. Some still not quite fixed, but work is progressing.

Repoview has been turned on for rawhide repositories. Each arch will have its own repoview. Fedora Core 5 archs should have repoview enabled as well once it gets released. Fedora Extras already uses repoview. Repoview is a set of html pages generated from the repository information. Read more about it here.
