There isn't any new behaviour. We're just doing a new systemd build for F38 so the already-existing behaviour (set the clock to the time the package was built) will give a later time than previously. -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @adamw@fosstodon.org https://www.happyassassin.net

Fedora Linux 39 Final blocker status summary #3
by Adam Williamson 26 Oct '23

26 Oct '23

Hi folks! We're still trying to get F39 done, so time for another status update... Action summary ============== Accepted blockers ----------------- 1. kexec-tools - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2243068 - VERIFIED: releng to push the fix stable 2. mutter - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2241632 - ASSIGNED: desktop team (and adamwill) to keep trying to come up with a fix 3. shim - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2113005 - NEW: assume this will be waived 4. uboot-tools - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2241252 - ASSIGNED: ARM team (pbrobinson) to fix it 5. uboot-tools - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2244305 - ASSIGNED: ARM team to evaluate and fix if possible, ARM/QA to test on more systems if possible 6. distribution - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2242759 - NEW: anyone at all to come up with a genius fix, otherwise we'll likely have to document this Bug-by-bug detail ================= Accepted blockers ----------------- 1. kexec-tools - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2243068 - VERIFIED kdump is enabled by default on desktops This is basically fixed, just waiting to be pushed stable. 2. mutter - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2241632 - ASSIGNED Netinstall ISO renders a black screen when using kickstart install (bare metal and VM) Well, we kinda had a fix for this, but it turns out to break something even worse (now anaconda isn't visible on the Workstation live image). So we're still stuck trying to find a perfect fix, unfortunately. Desktop team plus me to keep cranking away on it. 3. shim - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2113005 - NEW Live image made with BOOTX64.EFI from latest shim-x64-15.6-2 fails to boot on some boards Let's just assume this is gonna be waived. 4. uboot-tools - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2241252 - ASSIGNED Fedora-Workstation-39_Beta-1.1 boots to a black screen on Raspberry Pi 4 Peter says "So we've basically got to the bottom of the problem and worked out the issue, I now just need to come up with a fix.", so that's what we're waiting on. 5. uboot-tools - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2244305 - ASSIGNED Fedora Server 39 does not boot on Raspberry Pi 4 (RPi4) from microSD card slot This one's also waiting on ARM team (i.e. Peter), but seems somewhat less clear-cut of a blocker, so we're kinda waiting for his take on that, plus testing from other Raspberry Pi owners would be useful. 6. distribution - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2242759 - NEW dnf system-upgrade fails on some RPi4 due to system boot date that pre- dates gpg key We're still kinda kicking around ideas for "fixing" this, but I think if push comes to shove, we'll wind up revoting or waiving it as not practically fixable. -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @adamw@fosstodon.org https://www.happyassassin.net

Is package (gnome-shell extension) split into legacy and current required?
by Alexander Ploumistos 17 Oct '23

17 Oct '23

Hello, I maintain the gnome-shell extension for bubblemail. I was informed by the upstream developer that in order to support GNOME ≥ 45, he is rewriting most of the code. What is currently the master branch will support (recent) GNOME versions up to 44.x and there will be another branch for 45 and newer. Do I need to create something like a compat package or can I just switch to the new source/branch from F39 onward? I suppose that a bugfix for F37 and F38 down the road is not out of the question, so there will be two different upstream branches for different Fedora versions. Best regards, A.
