ECL soname bump
by Jerry James
A new version of ECL has been released, with an soname bump on the
shared library. Only maxima and sagemath depend on ECL, so I will
rebuild both of them after updating ECL in about a week. I will do
test builds in advance to identify any problems with the upgrade.

Test timeouts in Fedora Copr emulated envs
by Daniel P. Berrangé
When we attempt to build libvirt in Copr, the test suite times out on
s390 builds.
IIUC, this is because s390 in Copr is using a QEMU emulated system,
not native hardware, and thus is massively slower to execute.
We don't want to bump up the default test suite timeout unconditonally,
as that makes it slower to diagnose problems for the common case
where the build env is not emulated.
Is there a good way to detect that the build is in an emulated copr
env rather than native. Does Copr / mock set any env variable to
show that you're emulated ?
I'm thinking this is not really a libvirt specific problem - any app
using Meson is liable to hit the default test suite time limit if
running in an emulated chroot, and thus will need to set
--timeout-multiplier=10.
So perhaps RPM's %meson_test macro should automatically include
--timeout-multiplier=10 when running in an emulated world ?
Regards,
Daniel

[Help wanted] Setting vi/view/vim via alternatives
by Zdenek Dohnal
Hi all,
I'm currently trying to rewrite the current shell aliases for making
Vi/View/Vim use the correct compiled binary based on which Vim package
is installed. The current aliases have several downsides (don't work
with sudo, runs in subshell) so I got a recommendation for
'alternatives' which should solve all those issues.
But currently I'm stuck and I don't know how to debug - the current
patch (attached) should solve package installation, its upgrade and
removal via %post and %preun scriptlets, but whatever I do, the links
don't exist after package upgrade.
For debugging I used 'ls' in scriptlets, and the links existed at the
time the transaction was leaving the scriptlets. But the links don't
exist after the end of dnf transaction...
Would anyone mind helping me?
Thank you in advance,
Zdenek

i3 Spin staging site now available
by Justin W. Flory
Hi all,
Ben Cotton built a preview of the i3 Spin website that will be used for
Fedora 34. We need to include descriptions of the apps we will ship;
currently, what is shown is for the LXQt desktop.
https://spins.stg.fedoraproject.org/i3/
Alternatively, we can also opt to not have any applications shown, but I
think it would be cool to show what we're shipping here.
We will need some hands to help us out with drafting the text to go on
the site. More details in the fedora-websites ticket:

Jython maintainer for Fedora needed
by Miro Hrončok
Hello Pythonistas (and especially Jythonistas),
I've noticed Jython is orphaned in Fedora.
There is a new version 2.7.2 available from March 2020. I took a peek, however
there are patches in Fedora's Jython I don't fully understand, so it is not easy
for me to rebase them.
I'd like to keep Jython in Fedora, but my interest is not driven by any actual
need. I don't know any actual Jythonistas using Fedora. Do you? Are there any?
I can help with the Python side of things wrt Jython maintenance, but my Java
skills are almost non-existent.
If there is someone who would like to keep Jython in Fedora by maintaining it,
even if they are not yet a packager, please talk to me.
Thanks,
--
