Maybe we can use the chance and discuss the announcements' content and format, for sake of readability. fedora-package-announce@xxxxxxxxx has been a bit confusing with its free-form subject lines, message bodies, and various forms of GPG signatures. There's $ /usr/bin/fedora-pkgannfmt Usage: fedora-pkgannfmt <rpm-file or name of an installed package> in fedora-rpmdevtools, which prints a few RPM package headers and the package changelog. Easy for preparing announcements. But it doesn't know where to cut off the changelog and which target distributions the package has been released for (fc1? FC1? rh9? RHL9?). So, what and how do we announce? For reference, the _old_ list archives are here: http://www.fedora.us/pipermail/fedora-package-announce/ Suggestions? Do we care? -- Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) - Linux 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 loadavg: 0.16 0.82 1.07
