F25 System Wide Change: Automatic Provides for Python RPM Packages
by Jaroslav Reznik 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

= Proposed System Wide Change: Automatic Provides for Python RPM Packages = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ Automatic_Provides_for_Python_RPM_Packages Change owner(s): * Tomas Orsava <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Torsava> * Miro Hroncok <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Churchyard> * Email: python-maint(a)redhat.com Upon building Python packages containing packaging metadata, RPM will automatically detect the standardized name of the software (i.e. dist name, name on PyPI) in the canonical format [1] and create a virtual Provides tag with the value pythonX.Ydist(CANONICAL_NAME), where X.Y is the used Python version. RPM may also detect dependencies of the software from the metadata and automatically require them using the same syntax. == Detailed Description == If during the building of a Python package RPM encounters .egg-info, .egg-link or .dist-info files (provided in Python Wheels and Eggs), it will read the standardized name of the software (i.e. dist name, name on PyPI) in the canonical format and create a virtual Provides tag with the value pythonX.Ydist(CANONICAL_NAME), where X.Y is the used Python version. Note that the canonical format can differ slightly from the name displayed, for example, on PyPI.[1] RPM will also detect dependencies of the software from the aforementioned metadata files and automatically require them using the format pythonX.Ydist(). However, because these files don't always contain the full list of requirements (which are either in setup.py or requirements.txt), the dependency generator will not be conclusive. All Python packages will need to be rebuilt so that the virtual Provides tags are generated and can be used by users, scripts and the requires generator. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Prepare a draft for the Fedora Packaging Guidelines for Python * Maintainers of the RPM package: Backport the functionality from upsteram to Fedora. — Already done thanks to Florian Festi [2] * Release engineering: Targeted rebuild of Python packages. Ticket [3]. * List of deliverables: All Fedora deliverables will be affected, but only in a very minor way that in no way jeopardizes their delivery. * Policies and guidelines: Fedora Packaging Guidelines for Python need to be updated after the implementation so users know how to take advantage of the change. * Trademark approval: Not needed for this Change [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ Automatic_Provides_for_Python_RPM_Packages#cite_note-canonical-0

F25 Self Contained Change: Bodhi Non-RPM Artifacts
by Jan Kurik 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

= Proposed Self Contained Change: Bodhi Non-RPM Artifacts = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/BodhiNonRPMArtifacts Change owner(s): * Luke Macken <lmacken AT redhat DOT com> Bodhi, the Fedora Updates System, should be able to process more than just RPMs. == Detailed Description == As Fedora starts to deliver more than just RPMs and ISOs, we need a way to handle delivering updates to these artifacts. Bodhi currently handles this workflow for RPMs only, but we want to start using it for other content, such as Docker containers, Flatpak apps, OSTrees, etc. If it can be tagged in Koji, it should be accepted by Bodhi. == Scope == * Proposal owners: - Database model changes - Masher modifications to the push process - Web UI changes - CLI modifications - Unit tests - Documentation - Upstream tracker issue: https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/issues/653 * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) - QA: Taskotron will need handle kicking off tests for non-RPM updates - QA: Client-side updates-testing tools like fedora-easy-karma could optionally be updated to detect these new artifacts * Release engineering: - We will need to ensure that the current signing process will work with non-RPM content - Ensure that the new content has a proper home in the directory structure. * List of deliverables: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic

Changes to the scm-commits list
by Kevin Fenzi 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

Greetings. In the past the scm-commits list: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/scm-commits@lists.fedoraproje… Contained not only git commit messages for packages and notification of uploads to lookaside cache, but also all changes in pkgdb acls. The volume of emails from pkgdb acl changes can be very high, and this prevented people from being able to use the scm-commits list as a way to review commits. In order to mitigate this problem, we have now created a new list: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/scm-notifications@lists.fedor… that will now get all pkgdb acl changes. The scm-commits list will continue to get commit messages and notification of source uploads only. We hope this change will help everyone more easily get the information they wish. kevin

by Jan Kurik 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

= Proposed System Wide Change: GHC 7.10 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_7.10 Change owner(s): * Jens Petersen <petersen AT redhat DOT com> Update Fedora's version of the GHC Haskell compiler to version 7.10. == Detailed Description == GHC 7.10 is major new version of the de facto standard Haskell compiler released in 2015. This change involves updating ghc and associated packages and updating and rebuilding all the Haskell packages in Fedora built with ghc. == Scope == * Proposal owners: - Create a Koji f25-ghc side tag for building all the packages [done] - Update ghc and ghc-rpm-macros [done] - Update and rebuild all the Haskell packages in the side tag - Once building is complete move all the side tag builds to Rawhide (before F25 branches) * Other developers: None A few packages outside the Haskell SIG may need an update to build with ghc-7.10, but the Haskell SIG can provide assistance if needed. * Release engineering: Sidetag (and secondary architecture building) will need assistance from release-engineering. * List of deliverables: not affected * Policies and guidelines: None * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic

evolution-data-server soname version bump in rawhide the next week
by Milan Crha 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

Hi, the 3.21.3 release of evolution-data-server changes soname version for camel, due to some API changes in that sub-library. I will rebuild packages for which I have commit rights, the same as I can help with the API change fixes, thus feel free to ping me or drop an e-mail. I do not think that other than core Evolution packages will need more attention, others might be simply rebuild. Bye, Milan
