REMINDER: Fedora 28 Change Checkpoint: 100% Code Complete Deadline & Beta Freeze in 1 week
by Jan Kurik 27 Feb '18

27 Feb '18

The next Tuesday, on 2018-Mar-06, we will reach two important milestones of the Fedora 28 release [1]: == Change Checkpoint: 100% Code Complete Deadline [2] == * New accepted changes must be code complete, meaning all the code required to enable to the new change is finished. * The level of code completeness is reflected as tracker bug state ON_QA. The change does not have to be fully tested by this deadline. == Beta Freeze [3] == Only packages which fix accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs [4] will be marked as 'stable' and included in the Beta composes. Other builds will remain in updates-testing until the Beta release is approved, at which point the Beta freeze is lifted and packages can move to 'stable' as usual until the Final freeze.

Fedora 28 Spins page: spin/labs owners please test
by Kevin Fenzi 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

Greetings. Per this fesco ticket: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1714 I have created the Fedora 28 spins/labs page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/28/Spins All spin maintainers/owners/interested parties should test their spins and at least update this wiki page with beta/final testing. Spins that don't have at least one tester at Beta may be dropped and not shipped in Final, so PLEASE make sure at least someone tests. Spin maintainers are also encouraged to test their spin more often and make sure it's composing correctly every day for Branched f28 and rawhide. Thanks, kevin

Fedora 28 Mass Branching
by Mohan Boddu 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

Hi All, Fedora 28 has now been branched, please be sure to do a git pull --rebase to pick up the new branch, as an additional reminder rawhide/f29 has been completely isolated from previous releases, so this means that anything you do for f28 you also have to do in the master branch and do a build there. There will be a Fedora 28 compose ASAP and it'll appear http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/28/ once complete. Please be sure to check it out. Bodhi is currently not active for Fedora 28, it will be enabled in a weeks time when we hit Beta change freeze point in the Fedora 28 schedule[1]. Mohan Boddu.

Fedora 28 Change Checkpoint: Completion deadline (testable)
by Jan Kurik 20 Feb '18

20 Feb '18

Greetings! Today, on 2018-Feb-20, we have reached Fedora 28 Change Checkpoint:Completion deadline (testable) [1]. At this point, all accepted changes [2] should be substantially complete, and testable. Additionally, if a change is to be enabled by default, it must be enabled at Change Completion deadline as well. Change tracking bug should be set to the MODIFIED state to indicate it achieved completeness. Incomplete and non testable Changes [3] will be reported to FESCo on 2018-Feb-23 meeting. Contingency plan for System Wide Changes in case of serious doubts regarding Change completion, will be activated.

[ACTION NEEDED] Missing BuildRequires: gcc/gcc-c++
by Igor Gnatenko 18 Feb '18

18 Feb '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Over this weekend I've performed scratch-mass-rebuild without having gcc and gcc-c++ in buildroot of all Fedora packages, many of which failed due to random reasons and I grepped all logs for some common errors found by analyzing hundreds of build logs. Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:C_and_C%2B%2B#BuildRequire s_and_Requies The grep output is located here: https://ignatenkobrain.fedorapeople.org/gcc-removal.txt Some packages might be missed due to short koji outage, broken dependencies and so on, but majority of real failures is below. If you fixed package(s), found false positive, found missing packages in list or anything else -- please let me know. Note to packages which use CMake buildsystem. When you have project(xxx) in CMakeLists.txt it checks both for C and CXX compilers. So you might encounter packages where you have BuildRequires: gcc and it fails on CXX compiler (even you think you don't need it). Solution for this is to send patch to upstream switching to something like project(xxx C), or if problem is opposite to project(xxx CXX).

F29 Self Contained Change: FedoraScientific VagrantBox
by Jan Kurik 17 Feb '18

17 Feb '18

= Proposed Self Contained Change: FedoraScientific VagrantBox = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/FedoraScientific_VagrantBox Owner(s): * Amit Saha <amitsaha dot in at gmail dot com> Fedora Scientific is currently delivered as ISOs. Shipping vagrant boxes will give potential users a friendlier option to try out Fedora Scientific while keeping their current operating system. == Detailed description == Vagrant boxes for Fedora Scientific will allow users to easily run Fedora Scientific in a virtual machine. This can be useful for users who are using another operating system as their host operating system and not have to manually download the ISO, and go through the installation process which can be unfamiliar or unnecessary hassle for users who may be new to Fedora or Linux. == Scope == * Proposal owners: This will require creating pungi configuration as well as new kickstarts to be able to build the vagrant boxes for Fedora Scientific. * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7324 ** 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

Greetings. There's some packages that have been orphaned by FESCo and are seeking a new point of contact to stay in the collection. If you are interested in becoming the point of contact for these, please note it in the appropriate ticket below for quickest processing. (no need to reopen the ticket, just add your fas name and what packages you want to take) https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1839 rpms/clamz rpms/inkboy-fonts Thanks, kevin

libmodulemd: SOname bump coming to released Fedora
by Stephen Gallagher 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

I'm going to be submitting an update for libmodulemd today for all released branches of Fedora. This is *technically* in conflict with the Stable Updates Policy, but it is both necessary and should be safe to accomplish. 1) The teams that were planning to switch to it from the previous python-modulemd have not yet done so or are just starting to, so it's not believed there is anything currently running in production with the older version. 2) The API is *source*-compatible, but not binary-compatible (hence the soname bump), so it will just require a rebuild if anyone *is* using it. 3) The reason for the API change is that certain semantics around ownership of memory have changed. This mostly impacts the GObject Introspection bindings for other languages such as Python, but as it technically changes the ABI contract, bumping soname was the correct thing to do.

F29 System Wide Change: Remove GCC from BuildRoot
by Jan Kurik 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

Proposed System Wide Change: Remove GCC from BuildRoot https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot Owner(s): * Igor Gnatenko <ignatenkobrain at fedoraproject dot org> Removing gcc and gcc-c++ from default buildroot in Koji and mock. == Detailed description == Since beginning of Fedora, gcc (and gcc-c++) are installed in every buildroot. Times have changed and nowadays many of packages are not written in C/C++, they are written in Python, Ruby, Node.js, Go, Rust, OCaml, Perl and so on so they don't need to have C/C++ compiler. Installing gcc and gcc-c++ takes time so if we remove it, we can improve build times for many of the packages. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Remove gcc, gcc-c++ from build group in Koji and from buildsys-build group in comps. * Other developers: Maintainers should follow guidelines and add BuildRequires: gcc if they need it during build (this guideline exists for long time). * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7317 #7317] ** List of deliverables: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: Nothing needed, guidelines already have paragraph about listing all required BuildRequires. * 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
