Fedora Core 6 发布！

按照惯例，Fedora Core 6 首先向各大镜像站点发布了！
Release Notes;
Tur教程；
但从Release Notes来看具有看点的特色，
图形界面方面引入的Fedora渲染项目的一些特色功能，Compiz管理其引入的三维视觉的界面效果。新的主题不知道是否可以满足更多人的审美观点？关于字体，DejaVu字体估计也只能满足西文用户的需求，中文用户极力推介自己加装文泉驿的中文字体。包管理方面的改进，YUM支持多个仓库的并用。打印机配置工具根据CUPS重新写过。GNOME 2.16和KDE 3.5.4，不知道有多大的改观，值得注意的倒是Fedora Core 6引入的像Dogtail等新的工具。

而像新的内核，新的Xorg7.1和新架构的SCIM等改变不知道对于新老用户还有没有什么直接的感觉……

以上的特色都是来自官方的文档，个人使用感觉还待升级完成。
官方建议升级为使用重新安装或者光盘upgrade现有系统，当然可以选择YUM工具升级，不过以个人的升级经验来看，还是不推荐用YUM UPGRADE的，这个需要用户原系统定制少且安装的包比较少为宜。

实际使用感觉
使用FC6有段时间了，总体感觉很好，比FC5速度上也略有优势，不是很明显。桌面用户基本上可以在安装的时候设置中文之后一路下去，不用再管什么语言和设置了。中文安装界面的详细截图稍后放出。许多小问题也没有了，估计很多用户需要使用官方仓库之外的软件仓库，原因之一就是Fedora官方没有Mp3等支持！关于这个问题，我觉得需要社区更多的在文档上下功夫，因为现在Fedora的安装程序已经支持额外软件仓库的扩展安装了！

一个不大不小的问题：关于RPM包挂死导致YUM亦无法工作；
我碰到这个Bug不止一次了，查阅了RedHat的Bugzilla，基本符合Bug 212504的各种现象和描述，我也提交了我的描述，希望加快这个Bug的Fix进度。

从Fedora Core 5通过YUM升级到Fedora Core 6
这个问题在某些情况变得很重要，而需要做的东西也不多，从FC4倒FC5的升级经验来看，这个问题应该不是很复杂，特别是对于熟悉YUM工作方式和原理的用户。这里简单的介绍一下其他网友的经验，因为我没有作过这一步升级，有点遗憾。
根据FedoraNews的Fedora Story提供的经验，需要在FC5上改动三个文件，分别是/etc/yum.repos.d/下面的fedora-core.repo, fedora-extra.repos, fedora-updates.repo，把baseurl=""设置到FC6的相关URL。然后执行
yum -y upgrade yum
升级完YUM之后，执行yum -y upgrade，
如果没有特别严重的错误，一切应该顺利进行下去了！

What is DevOPS?

Image
What is DevOPS? As be a DevOPS engineer more than five years in the past, I was always asked what is DevOPS or what is a DevOPS role or what should a DevOPS Engineer do? Or even question like how to be a good DevOPS? What? How? should be the most two frequently questions from almost all organizations. As I am working with  Amazon Web Service  for a long time with my DevOPS career, I tried to get answers from AWS guys frist as they have a special section about AWS DevOPS, also they have AWS DevOPS certificate cources, even though I never try such cources. This is the first page said about DevOPS on AWS DevOPS to answer "What is DevOPS?", DevOps is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increases an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity: evolving and improving products at a faster pace than organizations using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes. This speed enable...

RPM Build Tips!

Now, I am trying to build a Linux system based on the Fedora Core Release! Working with the RPM system in deep.The unpackaged file terminate the build process under RPM 4.x! Unpackaged files message in RPM-4.1 and following RPM version 4.1 and following demonstrate a new behaviour in the rpmbuild process. Previously, a build process might place any number of files, say in the %install stanza, when running the make install part of a Makefile , in the customary /var/tmp/%{name}-root/ BuildRoot (the RPM_BUILD_ROOT ). Once through that part of the Makefile , it can then completely ignore these files in the %files binary packaging stanza. This often happens when an upstream maintainer adds, or deletes items from new directory spurs in the make install , and the change might be missed during an unattended or automated rebuild. This option permits careful packagers to cross check the quality of their packaging. So as a cross check, /usr/lib/rpm/check-files is now enabled during ...
