Fedora 8 official out!!!Hot!

Although I have used the F8 for days from updating the Test 3, but official out is great excited!
I think Fedora 8 is wonderful enough for Desktop user even for the Chinese ones. One of my friend didn't recognized my F8 desktop this morning until that I told him that this is Linux. With some nice themes, the desktop must be better than Vista.

从最近的Release Notes看，这次的主要更新：
spin（专辑方式），Live表现的应该更好了，另外增加了Developer Live和电子实验室Live，用于ASIC设计人士的专辑！

桌面方面，GNOME 2.20, KDE 3.5.8以及更新的XFCE。
另外内置有一个防火墙便捷工具，很不错！
IcedTea是基于OpenJDK的java环境，Fedora的开放Java环境日臻完善！SUN JDK是否还是必须呢？更多的用户回馈才能说明问题。
特效桌面Compiz Fusion的预览版本；
Art团队带来了最新的Infinity无限视觉体验以及GNOME的新主题Nodoka，都是很清醒的感觉！

Kernel是最新的2.6.23;
声音系统使用了PulseAudio，带来一些新的声音控制和表现方式，基于网络的sound server结构设计不同凡响！

其他方面，Eclipse整合了今年早些时候Eclipse.org推出的3.3的版本！

还有很多新的版本软件包，没能这么快的都尝试过来！
稳定性方面，比F7有所加强！至少我在虚拟机和另外一台机器上用下来都是这个感觉！
期待更多的惊喜……

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 ...
