The koji-shadow tool can run in 2 modes - doing a single build (all missing dependencies will be also built) or scanning a tag and queue all missing builds. I will now describe the improvement koji-shadow received in the previous months and also some existing features.
ARM architectures
And what you can expect in the future? Karsten prepared a patch to print information which failed builds are blocking the most other build and also has logging improvements in development, right now I use the logging feature of screen to capture the output. In the longer term work is being done to integrate koji-shadow with fedmsg and start builds when they finish in primary and not to rely on periodical scans. Naturally additional ideas are welcome, when patches will be attached the better :-)
| OS | Version | Tryton version | Repository |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fedora | 16 | 2.0 | Fedora |
| 2.4 | Danny.CZ | ||
| 17 | 2.2 | Fedora | |
| 2.4 | Danny.CZ | ||
| 18 | 2.4 | Fedora | |
| RHEL | 6 | 1.8 | EPEL |
| 2.0 | Tryton 2.0 for EL | ||
| 2.2 | Tryton 2.2 for EL | ||
| 2.4 | Danny.CZ for EL |
The Danny.CZ repos will always carry the latest available Tryton version. It also means that when Tryton 2.6 is released I will move the 2.4 version to a separate repository for enterprise Linux. Also work is ongoing on packaging the missing modules that were missing the previous Tryton releases. So stay tuned :-)

many thanks to you for bundling hopefully modified libraries [1] in your open source projects. You can be almost sure that your otherwise useful application won't be part of a major Linux distribution like Fedora or Debian.
Your package maintainers
PS: There are definitely more reasons that complicate the way to a distribution like e.g. imprecise licensing, but the bundled libraries one made me really angry during the weekend. And it was in a such nice application ...
PS2: The article may contain irony, cynicism and others
- install new fedora-release package
- yum update glibc, because there was some dependency error reported by rpm
- yum update - 1.6G in ~2200 packages were downloaded, few packages had to be removed from the F14, they were causing broken dependencies
- grub2 was manually installed using the steps from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Featu
res/Grub2#How_To_Test - reboot, in fact the power switch had to be pressed because the soft way was not possible due the change from upstart to systemd
And voila, Fedora 16 is booting and running. During the Fedora release upgrade I've also switched from Gnome to XFCE desktop environment. Bye bye Gnome, it has been nice years, but Gnome 3 is incompatible with how I do my work.
The visual representation of the progress is here
