equivalent of Debian config-package?
by Dave Love 07 Jun '18

07 Jun '18

Is there any existing system for rpm like the Debian one <https://debathena.mit.edu/config-package-dev/> for building local configuration packages? If not, would it be feasible to implement one?

/etc/profile.d/lang.sh -- still needed?
by David Kaspar [Dee'Kej] 07 Jun '18

07 Jun '18

Hello people, does anybody know if the files /etc/profile.d/lang.{csh,sh} are still used these days, and what for? Do we still need them in Fedora? Should they be installed by default these days? Any info is appreciated! :) David Kaspar [Dee'Kej] *Associate Software Engineer* *Brno, Czech Republic* RED HAT | TRIED. TESTED. TRUSTED. Every airline in the Fortune 500 relies on Red Hat.

Can't fork in src.fedoraproject.org
by Christopher 06 Jun '18

06 Jun '18

When I try to fork rpms/thrift, I get the error message: Repo "forks/ctubbsii/thrift" already exists. However, it clearly does not exist. It is not listed at https://src.fedoraproject.org/user/ctubbsii , which shows 0 forks. Perhaps I forked it in the past, and the delete did not get cleaned up correctly? I don't know.

Intent to drop python2-notebook
by Miro Hrončok 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

python2-notebook is a leaf package (nothing in Fedora (build)requires it). I'd like to drop it from rawhide. Any objections? This **does not** affect the ability to run Jupyter Notebook (via the jupyter-notebook command) with Python 2 kernel (from the python2-ipykernel package). -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok

F29 System Wide Change: Perl Move to MetaCPAN
by Jan Kurik 04 Jun '18

04 Jun '18

= Proposed System Wide Change: Perl Move to MetaCPAN = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Perl_Move_to_MetaCPAN Owner(s): * Petr Písař <ppisar at redhat dot com> http://search.cpan.org/ search.cpan.org web frontend for 'https://www.cpan.org/ CPAN is being replaced by https://metacpan.org/ metacpan.org. Many Perl RPM packages refer to search.cpan.org. This Fedora change aims to mass-update URL and Source RPM tags in affected Perl packages. == Detailed description == Fedora packages store URL to the upstream web page and URL to the source archive location in their metadata. Most of the Perl packages uses search.cpan.org for this purpose. However, https://log.perl.org/2018/05/goodbye-search-dot-cpan-dot-org.html ''search.cpan.org'' won't be the canonical source anymore. We should update the metadata to point to the new location. Specification for all Perl packages will be updated like this: <pre>-URL: http://search.cpan.org/dist/CPANPLUS/ +URL: https://metacpan.org/release/CPANPLUS -Source0: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/B/BI/BINGOS/CPANPLUS-%{cpan_version}.tar.gz +Source0: https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/B/BI/BINGOS/CPANPLUS-%{cpan_version}.t…</pre> This change will be pushed as one commit into each affected Perl package without increasing its release number. We will try to do this change before Perl 5.28 mass rebuild in order to have it visible in Fedora 29 binary repositories. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Rewrite URL and Source addresses in Perl package specification files. * Other developers: Make sure the new addresses are correct. * Release engineering: Review ticket: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7515 ** List of deliverables: Does not block any deliverables. * Policies and guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl#URL_tag Perl packaging guidelines will be updated. * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) -- Jan Kuřík JBoss EAP Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic

The update system has the wrong package
by Steve Dickson 03 Jun '18
