==== Local Packages ====

Not a good day from a QA point of view.

There's a new release of `dkms` (2.0.12), but the upstream spec file wants to package a `README.dkms` that's not included in the tarball.<<BR>>
'''Update:''' This has since been [[http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/dkms-devel/2006-June/000482.html|fixed]] by releasing an updated tarball.

There's also a new release of `bittorrent` (4.20.1) but the curses client doesn't work:
{{{
$ bittorrent-curses bordeaux-DVD-x86_64.torrent
bittorrent-curses.py After import _
bittorrent-curses.py after imports
bittorrent-curses.py __main__
bittorrent-curses.py parse_confi...: uiname= bittorrent-curses
bittorrent-curses.py: create CursesTorrentApp
> /usr/bin/bittorrent-curses(397)__init__()
-> assert isinstance(metainfo, ConvertedMetainfo )
(Pdb)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/bittorrent-curses", line 588, in ?
    app = CursesTorrentApp(metainfo, config, errlist)
  File "/usr/bin/bittorrent-curses", line 397, in __init__
    assert isinstance(metainfo, ConvertedMetainfo )
  File "/usr/bin/bittorrent-curses", line 397, in __init__
    assert isinstance(metainfo, ConvertedMetainfo )
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/bdb.py", line 48, in trace_dispatch
    return self.dispatch_line(frame)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/bdb.py", line 67, in dispatch_line
    if self.quitting: raise BdbQuit
bdb.BdbQuit}}}
... and neither does the GUI:
{{{
$ bittorrent
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/bittorrent", line 75, in ?
    from BitTorrent.platform import os_version, is_frozen_exe, win_version_num
ImportError: cannot import name win_version_num}}}
It'd be nice if upstream shipped a changelog, responded to bug reports like they used to do, etc.
I get the impression they only try things on Windoss before issuing releases these day.

==== Fedora Extras ====

 * Raised [[RedHatBugzilla:196930|Bug #196930]] regarding `mock` support for old distributions
