python27 license change
by Miro Hrončok
Hello. I have updated the python27 package to use the bundled wheels of pip and
setuptools, so we can update setuptools in rawhide to a version that no longer
works with Python 2.
Unfortunately, that changes the license from "Python" to this beast:
Python and MIT and ASL 2.0 and BSD and ISC and LGPLv2 and MPLv2.0 and (ASL 2.0
or BSD)
Technically however, nothing should change (there was a pre-exisitng hard
requirement on pip/setuptools with such licenses (now combined)).

AAA: FAS Replacement project update
by Sarah Finn
Hi all,
Please see the latest AAA FAS replacement project update below:
AAA: FAS replacement project update 2/25/20
The month of February was a very busy month for the CPE AAA team and
community contributors working on this initiative. Great progress was made
in the development phase of the AAA: FAS replacement build. Sprint 2 and 3
resulted in the completion of multiple user stories which added user
functionality to join groups, change email address and password, disable
account, database access along with putting a mapping solution in place for
users moving from the current FAS to the new FAS (potential name
incoming!). We also came to the end of developing our wireframes and
mapping our user experience flow. Unit tests were carried out regarding
password controller and the current codebase.
We received great support from the wider CPE team as well as Patrick
Uiterwijk to allow us progress with user stories by gaining permissions and
merging PR’s for the integration of CentOS CI. Christian Heimes assisted us
greatly with sharing his knowledge regarding FREE IPA and answered numerous
questions to allow us to move forward.
Sprint 4 began on Thursday the 20th of February. This sprint will focus on
development tasks which will include working on FAS Json, Free IPA, API,
Fedora Messaging integration, continuous deployment to stage environment,
developing a secure coding tool to ensure code adheres to best practice, as
well as continuing working on user functionality user stories. Please see
our github board here <https://github.com/orgs/fedora-infra/projects/6>to
view current activity.
We also received some sad news since our last update, that we are losing a
team member, Rick Elrod, as he moves on to pastures new with the Ansible
team. Rick provided an excellent POC for AAA which is leaving us in good
shape to continue on as planned. Thanks Rick and we will hopefully still
see you around as a contributor going forward. We also welcomed a new team
member Leonardo (Leo) Rossetti who joined at the start of Sprint 4 and has
already hit the ground running. Leo is currently working on our FAS JSON
user stories.
Regarding delivery of AAA, we may look at a phased release , this current
phase focus is on the development of AAA to be delivered by 3/31/20. It is
looking likely that the deployment of AAA will happen in a later phase due
to requiring System Admin assistance. We are likely to gain this on the
completion of the Colo Move (which is our planned data center move),
approximately in mid April. We are enquiring to see if deploying to staging
is possible within this phase to allow for a long testing period. I will
provide an update on this in our next blog. The integration of CentOS will
be worked on within an additional phase following the completion of AAA
centric stories for Fedora.
On a final note, I would like to commend the CPE AAA team on their
collaboration
and productivity throughout this initiative even in the face of unknowns,
team changes, cross team dependencies and other challenges, they continued
to proactively work together and find solutions to keep this initiative
moving forward.
We welcome all feedback, thoughts and contributions as we progress through
this project. Please feel free to comment on any issue to log your
thoughts.

Adopting fedora-jam-kde-theme and fedora-jam-backgrounds
by Erich Eickmeyer
Hi all,
While working on getting Fedora Jam a bit more modernized for F33 (the
backgrounds and themes haven't been touched since 2013!), I found that
my predecessor (Brendan Jones) still has fedora-jam-kde-theme and
fedora-jam-backgrounds. I think it's safe to say that since he
abandoned Jam that these two packages are now orphaned.
I have already moved the sources of both packages to pagure since they
were formerly on his fedorahosted page. Additionally, I have simplified
both packages into separate sources (used to be one git source) so I
believe it's safe to say the .sh files from both srpms can be dropped.
I just now opened a PR, but it appears as though Brendan is the owner
and would have to accept that PR. Unfortunately, I believe that's not
going to happen as he was unresponsive with Ben Cotton's keepalive
request for Jam, which is why I stepped-in.
With that, I'd like to adopt both of these packages. I understand that
I still need to be sponsored into the packager group, and I still have
3 other packages undergoing review (all of which I have corrected per
comments).
Thank you,
Erich

Modularity branch name
by Remi Collet
Hi,
After some test, is looks like the stream name of a module have to
match the branch name.
I think this constraint doesn't make sense.
We can want different content (.yaml file) for different
distributions (Fedora vs EPEL) or different Version
Reported as https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8687
(but probably not the right place)

Looking for new maintainer: nagios, nagios-plugins, nrpe
by Stephen John Smoogen
I have been maintaining nagios, nagios-plugins, and nrpe for a couple
of years but currently I do not have much time to put towards the
packages and won't until 2021 at my current rate.
Last week, I emailed various people who have co-maintainer rights on
the package, but haven't had anyone reply. So I am asking on these
lists to see if another packager has time to maintain them and if not
I plan to orphan the packages in 2 weeks.

perl-HTTP-Message license correction
by Petr Pisar
I corrected a license tag for perl-HTTP-Message package from
"GPL+ or Artistic" to "(GPL+ or Artistic) and CC0". It should not affect other
packages because the CC0 license is only used for a documentation file.
