RISC-V -- are we ready for more, and what do we need to do it?
by Matthew Miller
Hi all! I just got back from Open Source Summit, several of the talks I
found interesting were on RISC-V -- a high-level one about the
organizational structure, and Drew Fustini's more technical talk.
In that, he noted that there's a Fedora build *, but it isn't an official
Fedora arch. As I understand it, the major infrastructure blocker is simply
that there isn't server-class hardware (let alone hardware that will build
fast enough that it isn't a frustrating bottleneck).
So, one question is: if we used, say, ARM or x86_64 Amazon cloud instances
as builders, could we build fast enough under QEMU emulation to work? We
have a nice early advantage, but if we don't keep moving, we'll lose that.
But beyond that: What other things might be limits? Are there key bits of
the distro which don't build yet? Is there a big enough risc-v team to
respond to arch-specific build failures? And, do we have enough people to do
QA around release time?

Conflicting build-ids in nekovm and haxe
by Andy Li
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

How can i fix this ?

Planning to start unifying native and mingw packages
by Sandro Mani
Hi
Following recent discussions and to reduce the maintenance burden, I'm
planning to start merging native and mingw packages. Initially, I'll be
looking at these packages where I maintain both variants:
eigen3 mingw-eigen3
enchant2 mingw-enchant2
freeimage mingw-freeimage
gdal mingw-gdal
GeographicLib mingw-GeographicLib
geos mingw-geos
giflib mingw-giflib
gtkspell3 mingw-gtkspell3
gtkspellmm30 mingw-gtkspellmm30
jxrlib mingw-jxrlib
leptonica mingw-leptonica
libgeotiff mingw-libgeotiff
libimagequant mingw-libimagequant
libkml mingw-libkml
librttopo mingw-librttopo
libspatialite mingw-libspatialite
libwebp mingw-libwebp
openjpeg2 mingw-openjpeg2
OpenSceneGraph mingw-OpenSceneGraph
osgearth mingw-osgearth
podofo mingw-podofo
proj mingw-proj
python-pillow mingw-python-pillow
qtspell mingw-qtspell
shapelib mingw-shapelib
svg2svgt mingw-svg2svgt
tesseract mingw-tesseract
uriparser mingw-uriparser
I'm performing test builds here [1]. Once I've got them all building
there, if there are no objections, I plan to push to F37 and retire all
the corresponding mingw repos.

Orphaned X11 packages
by Adam Jackson
The following packages, previously owned by xgl-maint, are now up for grabs:
xorg-x11-xfs
xorg-sgml-doctools
xorg-x11-drv-v4l
xorg-x11-xsm
xorg-x11-twm
xorg-x11-drv-sisusb
xorg-x11-xdm
xorg-x11-docs
Upstream development on all of these is pretty much nil, so if you're
serious about picking up any of these you may also wish to take on the
module upstream:

fedpkg clone fails with Permission denied (publickey).
by Richard Shaw
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
