Remove old GPG keys?
by Miroslav Suchý 25 Jun '24

25 Jun '24

I just stumbled upon https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/400634/does-anyone-bother-to-remov… with the nice link to: https://blog.laimbock.com/2014/05/02/how-to-remove-an-imported-gpg-key-from… And I wonder: is it a good idea to keep old gpg keys in RPM db? Or should we automate the removal of old keys? Mirek

upgrading RH 9 system->Fedora with iso files and apt only
by Didier Casse 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

I have the yarrow's iso files on my HD in a RH9 system. Let's say I want to upgrade selected packages using an "apt-get install" pointing to my iso-mounted files, how do I do it? i.e I mount the iso into some /mnt/yarrow1, /mnt/yarrow 2 etc.. Then what is the complete procedure to make my apt look into my own HD to upgrade packages. Can anybody redirect me to the correct resource or some literature hanging on the web? Thanks. Assume also that I do not wish to burn CDs! I do not want to use apt-cdrom. Thanks. With kind regards, Didier. --- PhD student Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) 5 Research Link, Singapore 117603 Email: slsbdfc at nus dot edu dot sg \or\ didierbe at sps dot nus dot edu dot sg Website: http://ssls.nus.edu.sg

pdftk retired?
by Michael J Gruber 08 Sep '21

08 Sep '21

I just git a "broken dependencies" notice for a package that I maintain. The reason is that "pdftk" got retired just the other day. I may have missed a corresponding post on fedora-devel, but I think a heads up notice to maintainers of depending packages may be in order before you retire a package, as a general idea. You see, unretiring a package is so much more work than changing maintainership. As for pdftk: I see 2 failed builds for version 1.45 and none for the current version 2.02 (which probably breaks the api anyways). What are the plans? Retire pdftk completely? Start fresh with pdftk2? pdflabs, the maker of pdftk, provide binary as well as source rpms for pdftk 2.02, by the way. I might even look into packaging it but don't want to duplicate any existing efforts. Michael

Upstream tip wanted: CI service for Big Endian acrhes
by Miro Hrončok 28 Mar '21

28 Mar '21

Recently I've reported some Big Endian related test failures to an upstream project [0]. I was asked by an upstream project maintainer, whether I know some free Continuous Integration services where they can easily run their testsuite on Big Endian. Any tips? * Upstream uses Travis CI to test on x86_64 Linux (Ubuntu) * Upstream uses AppVeyor to test on Microsoft Windows * It's a pure Python project, noarch, but some changes need to be done when loading/saving binary data (LE) with NumPy on BE system. What I've considered: * COPR (but there is no big endian arch) * (Ab)using Koji (I guess that would be considered a bad practice?) * using QUEMU on Travis CI [1] Any better tips? Thanks [0] https://github.com/mikedh/trimesh/issues/249 [1] https://developer.ibm.com/linuxonpower/2017/07/28/travis-multi-architecture… -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok

Server Side Public License (SSPL) v1
by Tom Callaway 21 Jan '21

21 Jan '21

After review, Fedora has determined that the Server Side Public License v1 (SSPL) is not a Free Software License. It is the belief of Fedora that the SSPL is intentionally crafted to be aggressively discriminatory towards a specific class of users. Additionally, it seems clear that the intent of the license author is to cause Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt towards commercial users of software under that license. To consider the SSPL to be "Free" or "Open Source" causes that shadow to be cast across all other licenses in the FOSS ecosystem, even though none of them carry that risk. It is also worth nothing that while there is a draft for a "v2" of the SSPL: A) It is not final. B) It is not in use anywhere at this time (as far as we know). C) The intent of the v2 draft text is not changed from the v1 license currently in use. We have updated our "Bad License" list to include SSPLv1. No software under that license may be included in Fedora (including EPEL and COPRs). Thanks, Tom Callaway Fedora Legal

Sorry---I'm not current with the wdune scenario. I assumed you meant that you'd review it unofficially as part of the work to get sponsored to the packagers group: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group… I'm not a sponsor yet so I cannot sponsor you to the group myself, but once you've done a few reviews, a sponsor will be happy to take a look at them and guide you through the sponsorship process. If you've submitted a review ticket for wdune already, I will be happy to review it and provide comments. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha https://ankursinha.in Time zone: Europe/London

Headsup: dbus 1.12.10-1.fc29 is missing systemd dbus.service file, breaking almost everything
by Hans de Goede 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

Hi All, Just a quick headsup for users following Fedora 29, the dbus 1.12.10-1.fc29 build is missing the systemd dbus.service file, breaking almost everything. Instead it contains a dbus-daemon.service file, but the dbus.socket file expects a matching dbus.service, not dbus-daemon.service. So either hold of on applying updates until this is fixed or exclude dbus. Regards, Hans
