[HEADS UP] Meson 0.48.0
by Igor Gnatenko
Hello folks,
new meson release is out (release notes
<https://mesonbuild.com/Release-notes-for-0-48-0.html>) which removes tools
which are deprecated for quite long time:
* mesonconf
* mesonintrospect
* mesontest
* wraptool
I will push it now for Rawhide and F29. F28 and EPEL7 won't get update
because of this incompatibility, but if you need it for building updates --
let me know and I will consider pushing it even there.
Thanks for attention!

Proposal to modify release criteria for fwraid
by Stephen Gallagher
At yesterday's F29 Go/No-Go meeting, we discussed the blocker status
of BZ #1628192 - Fedora 29 installation cannot see a firmware RAID
device. While the blocker criteria clearly states that this should be
a blocker for Beta, many of the people present at the meeting
disagreed, for a variety of reasons.
* Hardware supporting fwraid is considerably less pervasive than it
was when the criterion was written
* Testing this criterion can only be done with install media, which
limits our testing pool to the very dedicated members of Fedora QA.
Yes, anyone *can* download a nightly compose and try it, but in
practice this tends to be limited to the core testers. The majority of
testing that this feature will get will tend to happen as people try
out the Beta release.
To that end, I'd like to propose that we make the following change to
the criteria going forward:
"The blocking criterion for successful installation atop a firmware
RAID array is moved to the GA release criteria."

Testing / feedback request: DNF 3 crashes
by Adam Williamson
Hi folks!
Around the time DNF 3 landed in Rawhide (hence F29), we had quite a few
folks on these lists reporting issues, including crasher bugs. Many of
these seemed somehow related to the DNF history database. They also
were not easy to isolate and fix.
We're now close to the F29 Beta release, but we don't have a great
sense of how many people are still having these problems with DNF 3.2
or 3.3.
Can anyone who is still struggling with DNF crashes on *basic*
operations on F29 or Rawhide please reply, and provide a few details on
what you're seeing and any workarounds or fixes you've found?
Thanks a lot!

Orphaning nitroshare
by Raphael Groner
Hi,
I'll orphan nitroshare. There are no dependencies except the subpackages.
Reasons for my decision: Upstream did no release since monthes and claims instable branch for master in the documentation.
There are some other good alternatives like KDE Connect or TotalCommander with WebDAV.
Regards, Raphael

poppler soname bump in rawhide
by Marek Kasik
Hi,
I'm going to rebase poppler in rawhide to poppler-0.67.0 now.
There are several API changes and soname bump of the base library
libpoppler.so.*.
I've checked all packages which depend on the libpoppler.so.* and have
backported/prepared fixes to reflect poppler's API changes.
Unfortunately, libreoffice does not build currently (#1615616). But I've
decided to push the rebase though because branching will happen today
and I could not do chain build after that for F29.
Btw, if your package use the unstable API (headers from poppler-devel),
could you consider to change it to use a stable API (glib, qt, C++)?
Regards
Marek
