Hi folks! I'm proposing we cancel the QA meeting tomorrow. Once again
I don't see anything urgent to discuss, so let's take the time off for
another week. We can meet up next week for sure.
If you're aware of anything important we have to discuss this week,
please do reply to this mail and we can go ahead and run the meeting.
Thanks!

RPM spec style
by Merlin Mathesius
Greetings.
I'd like a quick opinion on spec file style...
Nearly all specs I've seen dealing with subpackages group all the
%package/%description stanzas near the beginning, and put all the %files
stanzas near the the end. (Example 1 below)
However, are there any reasons, stylistic or otherwise, that the %files
stanzas shouldn't be grouped with their corresponding
%package/%description stanzas? (Example 2 below) Especially when there
are a large number of subpackages...
Thanks.
Regards,
Merlin
Example 1:
... preable ...
%description
%package server
%description server
%package client
%description client
%package lib
%description lib
%prep
%build
%install
%files
%files server
%files client
%files lib
%changelog
...
Example 2:
... preable ...
%description
%files
%package server
%description server
%files server
%package client
%description client
%files client
%package lib
%description lib
%files lib
%prep
%build

HEADS-UP: [rawhide] Fabric API change
by Othmane "ⴰⵜⵀⵎⴰⵏ" Madjoudj
Hello,
I've updated Fabric to 2.0 in rawhide which finally bring python3
compatibility, however the APi has been heavily changed, so any
application that depended on Fabric need porting (only Avocado
Framework atm).
Fabric 2 has been provided in different namespace, in order to keep
Fabric 1.x-compatible fork "Fabric3" as default provider, this will
change once the dependencies are ported.
Best regards.

"invalid path: ~/.fedora-server-ca.cert"
by Tim Jackson
As an infrequent contributor, I have unfortunately had to resign myself to the
fact that every time I try to make a change to a package, something has
broken/changed, and thus 95% of the time goes on fixing the environment and 5%
on the package in question. However, I do wonder whether, when refactoring the
tooling, some improvements could be made to error handling and reporting. As
an example, today's error is something to do with logging into Koji when
running "fedpkg build":
Kerberos authentication fails: Could not find a suitable TLS CA certificate
bundle, invalid path: ~/.fedora-server-ca.cert
Could not execute build: Could not login to http://koji.fedoraproject.org/kojihub
Firstly, could the error message "invalid path: ~/.fedora-server-ca.cert" be
improved? There _is_ a CA certificate in that location, untouched since August
2014. As far as I can tell it's still valid (at least it's not expired
according to "openssl x509 -text <~/.fedora-server-ca.cert"). What's suddenly
"invalid" about it now? ("-d" doesn't provide any additional information). It
would be really helpful, especially to us less-frequent packagers, if the
error message could give a clue what might be wrong or how to solve it.
Trying to be constructive, I thought maybe fedora-packager-setup or
fedora-cert might give me some more info. However...
$ fedora-packager-setup
Setting up Fedora packager environment
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/fedora-packager-setup", line 123, in <module>

File "/usr/bin/fedora-packager-setup", line 103, in main
if fedora_cert.certificate_expired():
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fedora_cert/__init__.py", line 83,
in certificate_expired
if my_cert.has_expired():
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'has_expired'
$ fedora-cert
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/fedora-cert", line 85, in <module>

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fedora_cert/__init__.py", line 83,
in certificate_expired
if my_cert.has_expired():
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'has_expired'
This seems to be a >1 year old bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1412260
If I remove ~/.fedora.upn (why?) and re-run fedora-packager-setup, I
apparently get a new ~/.fedora-server-ca.cert, but the mysterious "invalid
path" error remains.
Any pointers?
Thanks
Tim

Self Introduction: Vaughan Agrez
by Vaughan Agrez
Hi Everyone
I just submitted my first package review request and as requested, its
now time for the self introduction.
I vaguely remember first discovering GNU Linux (Red Hat Linux 6, back in
the late 90's) and have been a convert ever since. I cut my teeth
packaging rpms on Mandrake base systems back in the day and ended up
being a package maintainer (kernel + other bits'n pieces) for PCLinuxOS
(2005 - 2007) and Unity Linux (2009-2010). Sometime after this I
switched 'back' to using Fedora and went on a packaging hiatus for many
years, until that is, someone told me to go buy a Raspberry Pi. For the
past few years (2015 - present) in my spare time, I have been
maintaining the Fedora Remix 'Fedberry' (fedberry.org).
With every release, Fedora's RPi support continues to improve and the
Fedberry remix is becoming increasingly irrelevant. As a result, I will
eventually pull the plug on the remix (not sure when yet). However, I
will still want to be contributing to an opensource project/community so
getting involved with Fedora development now seems like an obvious next
step for me. Hopefully, some of my previous packing experience maybe of
some use to the project.
My initial package submission is WiringPi -

Cheers!
