func logrotate fix

Mike McGrath wrote on the @fedora-infrastructure-list [1] that he would like to implement a global fix to logrotate in which /etc/init.d/funcd condrestart would be replaced by /etc/init.d/funcd condrestart > /dev/null. The reason for the fix is because the original config is generating spam. However [[JonStanley|Jon Stanley] opposed this[2], saying that it violates the concept of a change freeze. However at the end the change was implemented.

metalinks for F10 download pages

Matt Domsch wrote on the @fedora-infrastructure-list [3] that mirrors.fp.o now supports metalinks [1]. metalinks are XML documents that act like a yum mirror list, but with more detail, allowing client download tools to more easily select a mirror that will be fastest for them.

Jeffrey Ollie asked if these links were supposed to work on firefox, atleast for testing [4] on which Jesse replied that there was some work done on Mirror Manager yesterday and they should be working.

smtp-server?

Thomas Spura wrote on @fedora-infrastructure-list [5] and asked "Why isn't it possible to configure an smtp-server to send username fedoraproject org mails?" To this Mike replied that in In your mail client you should be able to set a @fedoraproject.org address. Many other providers support this as well (like gmail for example) [6]
