即將到來的Fedora 7
標題沒有打錯, 我打的確實是Fedora 7
而非Fedora Core 7
Fedora團隊決定將整合旗下的兩個計畫:
作為系統中心部分的Fedora Core和補足軟體套件的Fedora Extra
從此之後只有Fedora單一計畫
按照發佈的時間行程
Fedora 7會在今年四月釋出
而在Fedora 7中有28項目標
- Modify the build system to support this new paradigm
- Merge Core and Extras in source control
- Use the new pungi tool to spin all releases
- A Fedora Desktop spin
- A Fedora Server spin
- A Fedora KDE spin
- Make LiveCDs as a part of the distribution release process
- Ability to customize non-packaging distrubution parameters
- Switch to libata drivers for PATA support
- Speedup of bootup and shutdown
- Make wireless rock-solid
- Add wireless firmware for all the chipsets we can
- CodecBuddy
- Fixing the proliferation of dictionary packages
- Support encrypted filesystems- Fast user switching in the desktop
- Fix the firewire stack
- Switch to a tickless kernel by default
- Fix unnecessary wakeups across the distribution
- Add KVM virtualization support to our tools
- Investigate (but probably don't switch to) new init technologies
- Add the nouveau drivers for nVidia cards- Speed up Yum and RPM
- Add support for RandR 1.2- Switch to syslog-ng
- Make the update system useable by all
可能採用Upstart來加速啟動
而LiveCD算是從善如流了, 各大Linux套件幾乎都有LiveCD版本
Fedora上述的這些增進項目是相當值得期待的
