This week in Anaconda - November 5, 2010
The biggest news this week is that Fedora 14 finally escaped from its holding cell into the wild. Congratulations to everyone who put in so much time on this release! I’ve summarized the relevant anaconda F13->F14 changes on the changes wiki page. As you can see, it’s largely internal stuff or tweaks around the edges. Lots of old crud got removed too. You can also see the changes from F14 to rawhide.

Quick bug fix round up
Nothing too exciting happened this week in anaconda land so I’m going to recap a couple commits and then get to something completely different. dlehman committed all his action sorting patches I discussed last week and we will shortly have a build including them. akozumpl got us away from the nasty old pile of timezone setting code and closer to what’s in system-config-date. Now that we’re running in full screen, we have space for stuff like that. We also had a bunch of build fixes and logging changes.

/usr is not recommended
The surprise controversy this week was that I removed /usr from the list of default mount points in the UI. That doesn’t mean you can’t still use it. It just means you have to type it in manually as opposed to choosing it from a drop down. The rationale is that Fedora in general does a pretty bad job of supporting /usr on its own mount point. We do such a bad job that even the install guide recommends against it.

This week in anaconda - October 15, 2010
This is my first installment of This Week in Anaconda, where I try to explain what we’ve been up to and why things are the way they are. I hope you find it interesting, if not exactly entertaining. Hopefully I’ll get better with this over time.

This week in Anaconda - October 13, 2010
In case you were wondering what happened to the other days of beers, the short story is that writing about beer gets really old really quickly. There’s only so many things you can say, so many adjectives you can use. I got tired of feeling compelled to find and drink a new beer every day. Basically, drinking beer became work. Now maybe if I were able to turn it into a book deal, it would be worth it.

100 Beers, 100 Days: Day #39 - May 17, 2009
Frequently, Magic Hat puts some crazy miscellaneous beer into their mixed cases as a test. It’s usually named something like “Batch 47” and if enough people like it, it ends up as a regular beer with a real name in the future. This time, it looks like they’ve been experimenting with three drastically different beers all under the name “Odd Notion”.

100 Beers, 100 Days: Day #38 - May 16, 2009
I bought a mixed case of Magic Hat beers, so expect a couple reviews of those in the days ahead. I started off with Wacko, which I knew nothing about in advance. Magic Hat isn’t really known for telling you a lot about their beers on the bottle. You stand very little chance of knowing what style one of their beers might be. You’ll be lucky if it’s even got a style at all. They take a very lax attitude towards crazy things like style, which can be fine sometimes. On the other hand as David Shea mentioned weeks and weeks ago, they also tend to focus on the hype more than the beer sometimes. So with that said, here we go.

100 Beers, 100 Days: Day #37 - May 15, 2009
Okay here’s the thing. I’m out of things to say about pale ales, American style pale ales, imperial pale ales, imperial anything else, and double any of the above. As of this beer, I need to branch out very wildly and try some crazy new things. The next few days will probably not see this happen, but it’s got to happen very soon. I’m tired of writing about all the same things.
