Description Scott Dowdle 2010-09-08 19:24:00 UTC

I do not have the ability to change what package an existing bug is filed against so I'm filing a new bug report.

Bug 626780 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=626780) is reported against revisor... but it appears it is actually in dbus and triggered by changes made in a NetworkManager update... which just happens to crash anaconda making installs from live media with updates applied impossible.

One @redhat developer claims that anaconda can't be updated/fixed to avoid the problem unless Fedora builds new install media, QAs them and releases them.  I find that hard to believe... but in an attempt to get this bug fixed, I'm filling a new report against NetworkManager.

Supposedly fixes are already available in Fedora 14 devel packages but without them making their way to Fedora 13 and 12, respin and remix builders can't make updated media with a working installer.  For more details see bug 626780.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2011-05-31 14:04:51 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '13'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 2 Scott Dowdle 2011-05-31 15:22:38 UTC

I don't care anymore.  I'll close it.  Moved to Fedora 14 and now to 15.  Fedora 13 has a couple more weeks of support left.
