Was gnome-python2-evince added back into the fold as part of this work?

On the other hand the 2.6.34 kernel has made my F-13 laptop 100% more
usable than the entire release. I've been having massive issues and
I've been actually meaning to reinstall F-12 but haven't actually had
the time to do so. It got pushed from updates-testing to updates very
quickly because a lot of people tested it before it even hit
updates-testing and hence got the karma required to go through to
updates very quickly.

No, its F-14 and had been broken since Aug 31st. The last good compose
of gnome based (as in have gnome components) spins was Aug 30th. You
can see it in the daily branched report [1].

I would suggest looking at lightspark. Its currently in review [1] in
rpmfusion and it probably the current best chance at a half decent
open source flash plugin. Its a pity it uses ffmpeg directly rather
than gstreamer as with WebM coming to youtube and other sites it would
then be possible to have it in fedora mainstream and youtube out of
the box!

I'm not sure where this dep is getting pulled in from as the current
version in F-13 is 1.0-3

I think the libs were split out into a subpackage so that those that
wished to use them didn't have to pull in the full dep chain. That
would have been the only change I'm aware of.

Re: celt test update? - bodhi mystery

There was an issue with a bodhi push which caused this problem. celt
was never meant to be pushed (it was removed long before a pushed
started) and it was manually fixed up for F-13. I'd assumed the same
had happened for F-12 (or the issues didn't happen there) but because
bodhi doesn't think it happened I can't unpush it so someone in
rel-eng will need to. I think Luke did it for F-13.

Cheers,

Yes but a big problem if you have a requirement to encrypt your root
partition or the entire install. Sounds like an alpha blocker to me.

Unfortunately not for me. I'm using the Fedora-14-x86_64-netinst.iso
on a KVM VM and just doing a standard "blat the disk and use the
defaults" install and anaconda crashes. I'm not sure if there's a bug
for this but I have a traceback as soon as I can work out how to cut
and paste it out of the VM console.

I can confirm this using Fedora-14-Alpha-x86_64-netinst.iso on a 64
bit KVM VM as well.
