Fedora Project
Became owner of the orphaned spambayes - because I need it for trac-spamfilter-plugin; it really would be better if someone who knew python and cared about it more (e.g. a kmail user as that seems to use it intensively?) took it over
Fedora 15 Upgrade
Upgraded my Internet server/firewall box to Fedora 15 (did my main desktop/build machine a couple of weeks ago). The upgrade itself went very smoothly but there are some lingering issues:
Regressions in createrepo such as ignoring the --checksum option (Bug #500364, Bug #718218) and hanging when trying to create metadata for (e.g.) CentOS 6 (Bug #707300)
segfaults in sendmail when trying to do SMTP AUTH (Bug #712943)
The use of pam_systemd means that dæmons such as proftpd need to retain CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and have additional SELinux permissions (Bug #720505) to avoid Failed to lock runtime directory: Permission denied messages being logged
Various systemd-related packaging problems in milter-greylist (Bug #698961)
Local Packages
Updated smf-sav for systemd support (tmpfiles.d snippet to set up /run/smfs directory, unit file instead of SysV initscript)
