Applications with AppData and not visible in the software center
by Richard Hughes 14 Oct '24

14 Oct '24

We've been looking at the AppStream extractor issues in Fedora, and we've come across a few broken applications. Broken apps are not visible in the application installer. The apps include: * albumart * apitrace-gui * appstream * asylum * audience * bomber * bovo * calligra-braindump * cervisia * choqok * classified-ads * crrcsim * cube * curblaster * dsi * escape * ettercap * font-manager * freedink-engine * gap-core * gnofract4d * gvrng * hgview * hyperrogue * kaddressbook * key-mon * kgraphviewer * knotes * konqueror * LabPlot * nextcloud-client (maybe fixed in distgit) * openms * openvibe * owncloud-client * pingus * pioneer * portecle * qdigidoc * qjackctl * qsynth * qtikz * recoll * renku * rodent * screengrab * screenruler * simple-ccsm * slashem * spectacle * speed-dreams * tennix * tilp2 * tortoisehg * trophy * tzclock * uzbl-defaults * vdrift * vegastrike * wireshark-gtk * xfce4-power-manager * xfpanel-switch * xskat * yakuake * zanshin * zathura The full list, along with what failed is available here: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/screenshots/f26/failed.html If you want any suggestions or advice, I'm happy to help. Most of the failures are pretty self explanatory, e.g. "No <summary> in AppData" or "icon was too small 24x24" -- our guidelines are here: https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-glib/blob/master/README.md#guidelines-… As a reminder, you can validate AppData files using: appstream-util validate-relax file.appdata.xml Thanks, and comments welcome. I can set up a script that sends email to the package maintainer if this would be helpful, but I thought we might be able to get the majority of these sorted with this email. Richard.

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

some man pages have bugs, can't be grep'd
by Chris Murphy 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

I've been seeing this since clean installing Fedora 30. I don't recall ever seeing it before, including on a Fedora 29 -> Fedora 30 upgraded system (is now the clean installed system). [chris@flap ~]$ man rpm | grep -C 10 rpmverbosity <standard input>:176: warning [p 3, 0.8i]: cannot adjust line [chris@flap mantest]$ man rpm >rpm.stdout 2>rpm.stderr [chris@flap mantest]$ ll -rw-rw-r--. 1 chris chris 62 Jul 16 14:24 rpm.stderr -rw-rw-r--. 1 chris chris 28498 Jul 16 14:24 rpm.stdout Is this a bug that should be reported against rpm or something else? I'm certain I've seen it in other man pages, but offhand I can't find another example. -- Chris Murphy

Unretire ulogd (or another NFLOG logger?)
by Chris Adams 21 Feb '24

21 Feb '24

I'd like to use NFLOG to log firewall drops (so that the kernel message log isn't spammed by them), but it doesn't appear there's anything currently in Fedora that can read that other than "tcpdump -i nflog". It looks like ulogd was retired a while back because it only had a SysV init script and nobody stepped up to convert it to systemd (which should be really simple, since the old init script is pretty much a textbook template of a SysV init script). Am I missing anything? Is that all it needs? Is there another NFLOG logger daemon? -- Chris Adams <linux(a)cmadams.net>

Conflicting build-ids in nekovm and haxe
by Andy Li 07 May '23

07 May '23

Hi list, Re. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1896901 Since haxe-4.1.3-4 and nekovm-2.3.0-4, both nekovm and haxe packages contains "/usr/lib/.build-id/b0/aed4ddf2d45372bcc79d5e95d2834f5045c09c". The nekovm one is a symlink to "/usr/bin/neko". The haxe one to "/usr/bin/haxelib". Both the neko and haxelib binaries are built with libneko, with a nearly identical main.c with the only difference of the present of neko bytecode embedded as a byte array (neko: the byte array is null; haxelib: the byte array is the haxelib neko bytecode). I'm not sure how to resolve it. Please advice. Best regards, Andy

[apt-cacher-ng] Resurrect dead package
by Frédéric Pierret 24 Dec '22

24 Dec '22

Hi, I've resurrected `apt-cacher-ng` on my fork: https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/fepitre/rpms/apt-cacher-ng/c/06340bafbb2… with successful builds on my testing COPR repository for F32+ and EPEL8: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/fepitre/fedora/build/1879178/. I plan to (already) use this package for my current work on reproducible builds. Is the procedure described in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Orphaned_package_that_need_new_maintainers?r… still available for such case? Thank you. Best regards, Frédéric Pierret

fedpkg clone fails with Permission denied (publickey).
by Richard Shaw 26 Nov '22

26 Nov '22

Long story short I lost my home directory where I do all of my packager activities (separate from my main user) so I'm setting things up from scratch. I created new ssh keys and uploaded the public key to admin.fedoraproject.org and pasted into pagure.io. It's been over an hour and I'm still getting: $ fedpkg clone hamlib Cloning into 'hamlib'... hobbes1069(a)pkgs.fedoraproject.org: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. Could not execute clone: Failed to execute command. I've also updated my API tokens, which is STILL not well documented. I pasted them in the appropriate spot in "/etc/rpkg/fedpkg.conf" which isn't real intuitive. Thanks, Richard

Claim delve
by Alejandro Saez Morollon 29 Jun '22

29 Jun '22

Hi there, folks. Delve[0] (a Golang debugger) was retired due to the impossibility of building a new version of delve for dependencies issues. I would like to claim the package and fix the situation. I already have one of the dependencies[1] in the works. I already talked with the original maintainer (he's in cc) and he is OK with it. Thanks.
