New Fedora 9 makes waves by emphasizing contributors

Tue, 13 May 2008 18:00:00 GMT
The Fedora distribution has a reputation for innovation, and the new Fedora 9, released today, is no exception. With features that range from easy filesystem encryption to support for the ext4 format, it includes a wide range of features that are likely to become standard in other distributions in the next six months. But for Paul W. Frields, who became Fedora project leader in February, what distinguishes the release is less the technology than the community that supports it, and how the technology contributes to the larger free software world.

NAME
DBIx::Class::StartupCheck - Run environment checks on startup SYNOPSIS
use DBIx::Class::StartupCheck; DESCRIPTION
This module used to check for, and if necessary issue a warning for, a particular bug found on Red Hat and Fedora systems using their system perl build. As of September 2008 there are fixed versions of perl for all current Red Hat and Fedora distributions, but the old check still triggers, incorrectly flagging those versions of perl to be buggy. A more comprehensive check has been moved into the test suite in "t/99rh_perl_perf_bug.t" and further information about the bug has been put in DBIx::Class::Manual::Troubleshooting. Other checks may be added from time to time. Any checks herein can be disabled by setting an appropriate environment variable. If your system suffers from a particular bug, you will get a warning message on startup sent to STDERR, explaining what to do about it and how to suppress the message. If you don't see any messages, you have nothing to worry about. CONTRIBUTORS
