Is %generate_buildrequires suppose to work for packages
which do not used python ?
From the name I would expect it to, but reading that doc makes me
think %generate_buildrequires *is* python specific.
If so, the name is misleading.
(I am also confused/suspicious of the point of a macro to automate
build requires, except as a step on a path to somewhere else.
If build requirements need to be stated explicitly,
then automating their statement is a good way of hiding an issue
that needs to be reviewed whenever changes are made.

Hi Fedora, CentOS, and EPEL Communities!
As part of our continued 3 year major Red Hat Enterprise Linux release
cadence, RHEL 9 development is starting to wrap up with the spring
2022 release coming soon. That means planning for the next release
will start in earnest in the very near future. As some of you may
know, Red Hat has been using both Bugzilla and Jira via
issues.redhat.com for RHEL development for several years. Our
intention is to move to using issues.redhat.com only for the major
RHEL releases after RHEL 9.
What does this mean for Fedora and CentOS? This discussion is in part
to figure that out. Based on some very brief analysis, the following
should hold:
- RHEL customers should continue to file support cases through the Red
Hat Customer portal, which will remain consistent regardless of the
backend tooling used.
- There is no imminent retirement of the Red Hat Bugzilla instance
being planned at this time. RHEL 7, 8, and 9 will continue to use
bugzilla in some form and RHEL 9 has a very long lifecycle.
- Fedora Linux and EPEL have their own Bugzilla product families and
are not directly impacted in their own workflows by the choice to use
only issues.redhat.com for RHEL.
- There will be impacts on existing documentation that provide
guidance on requesting things from RHEL in various places like EPEL.
We will be happy to help adjust these.
- CentOS Stream contribution and bug reporting workflows will be
adjusted to use issues.redhat.com instead of bugzilla in the relevant
places. This should apply to all versions of CentOS Stream for a
unified contributor workflow. This will happen gradually as we
discover the best workflow to use.
If there are other impacts that you can think of, please raise them on
this thread. We’d like to ensure we’re covering as much as possible
as this rolls out.

2.3.0-RC2** - 2022-03-20 * Fixed invalid return value in
ComposerRepository::findPackage (#10622) * Fixed many `show` command issues due
to a flipped condition (#10623) * Fixed `phpversion()` handling when it returns
false due to an extension defining no version (#10631) * Fixed `remove` command
failing when no `allow-plugin` is defined in config (#10629) * Performance
improvement in Composer bootstrapping (version guessing) when on a feature
branch (#10632) ---- **Version 2.3.0-RC1** - 2022-03-16 * BC Break: the
minimum PHP version is now 7.2.5+, use the [Composer 2.2
LTS](https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/10340) if you are stuck with an
older PHP (#10343) * BC Break: added native parameter & return types to many
internal APIs, we explicitly left the most extended/implemented symbols
untouched but if this causes problems nonetheless please report it ASAP (#10547,
#10561) * BC Break: added visibility to all constants, a few internal ones have
been made private/protected, if this causes problems please report it ASAP
(#10550) * BC Break: the minimum supported Symfony components version is now
5.4, this only affects you if you are requiring composer/composer directly
however, which is generally frowned upon * Bumped `composer-plugin-api` to
`2.3.0` * Bumped bundled Symfony components from 2.8 to 5.4 ���� * Added
`declare(strict_types=1)` to all the classes, which for sure could cause
regressions in edge cases, please report with stack traces (#10567) * Added

and ignore new major/minor versions (#10589) * Added clickable links to various
commands for terminals which support it (#10430) * Added ProcessExecutor ability
to receive commands as arrays by (internals/plugin change only) (#10435) * Added
abandoned flag to `show`/`outdated` commands JSON-formatted output (#10485) *
Added config.reference option to `path` repositories to configure the way the
reference is generated, and possibly reduce composer.lock conflicts (#10488) *
Added automatic removal of allow-plugins rules when removing a plugin via the
`remove` command (#10615) * Added COMPOSER_IGNORE_PLATFOR_REQ &
COMPOSER_IGNORE_PLATFOR_REQS env vars to configure the equivalent flags (#10616)
* Added support for Symfony 6.0 components * Added support for psr/log 3.x
(#10454) * Fixed symlink creation in linux VM guest filesystems to be recognized
by Windows (#10592) * Performance improvement in pool optimization step (#10585)

Update Information:
New upstream release: 0.48.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:
* Wed Mar 30 2022 Packit <hello(a)packit.dev> - 0.48.0-1
- `packit source-git update-dist-git` and `packit source-git update-source-git` now check the synchronization of source-git and dist-git repositories prior to doing the update. If the update can't be done, for example, because the histories have diverged, the command provides instructions on how to synchronize the repositories. A `--force` option is available to try to update the destination repository anyway.
- Downstream synchronization of the Packit configuration file (aka `packit.yaml`) should be fixed. (#1532)
- Packit will no longer error out when trying to create a new Copr repository when it is already present (caused by a race condition). (#1527)
- Interactions with Bodhi should be now more reliable when creating Bodhi updates. (#1528)
* Thu Mar 17 2022 Packit Service <user-cont-team+packit-service(a)redhat.com> - 0.47.1-1
- When using Packit CLI for creating Bodhi updates, you can now set `fas_username` and `fas_password`
in your Packit user config to not be asked about that when the command is executed. (#1517)
* Tue Mar 8 2022 Packit Service <user-cont-team+packit-service(a)redhat.com> - 0.47.0-1
- When specfile is being generated, and both `specfile_path` and
`downstream_package_name` are not set, Packit now correctly resolves this
situation and sets `specfile_path` to the name of the upstream repo suffixed
with ".spec". (#1499)
- We are now building SRPMs for Packit's own PRs in Copr. For more info see #1490 and
https://packit.dev/docs/configuration/#srpm_build_deps (#1490)
- All source-git-commands were updated to append a `From-source-git-commit` or `From-dist-git-commit`
Git-trailer to the commit messages they create in dist-git or source-git, in order to
save the hash of the commits from which these commits were created. This information
is going to be used to tell whether a source-git repository is in sync with the
corresponding dist-git repository. (#1488)
- Spec file and configuration file are no more automatically added to the list of files
to sync when the `new files_to_sync` option is used. The old `synced_files` option is
deprecated. (#1483)
- We have added a new configuration option for Copr builds `enable_net` that allows you to
disable network access during Copr builds. It is also complemented by
`--enable-net/--disable-net` CLI options if you use Packit locally. (#1504)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2069693
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPEL has a stalled request policy [0] that allows packagers to get
themselves added as collaborators on epel* branches. Prior to this
policy being implemented, requests to add Fedora packages to EPEL
would often go unanswered for long periods of time. Packagers wanting
to help had only one option to force action: Fedora's non-responsive
maintainer policy [1]. This was view by many as overkill, as it
results in all of the non-responsive maintainer's packages being
orphaned or transferred to the requester. The stalled request policy
is much friendlier and enables greater collaboration.
However, despite the good intentions, I've observed some frustrations
among Fedora packagers when collaborators are added via this process.
We do not want maintainers to feel rushed or circumvented. That said,
I am firmly of the opinion that nobody "owns" Fedora packages, we
maintain them. Packagers wanting to take action on EPEL requests
should have a way to do that if the existing maintainers have not
taken action within a reasonable amount of time. What I would like to
discuss is what amount of time is reasonable.
The current process allows a collaborator to be added after a two week
period. When the stalled policy was implemented I was a fan of this
duration, but now I think it is too short. Extending it slightly
would be a good compromise to give maintainers a bit more time to
respond while still allowing the request to eventually be completed.
I have two suggestions for alternative steps for the process.
Current process (two bugzilla pings, two weeks total time):
- 1st request
- one week goes by
- 2nd request
- one week goes by
- releng ticket to be added as a collaborator
Proposal A (three bugzilla pings, three weeks total time):
- 1st request
- one week goes by
- 2nd request
- one week goes by
- 3rd request
- one week goes by
- releng ticket to be added as a collaborator
Proposal B (two bugzilla pings, four weeks total time):
- 1st request
- two weeks go by
- 2nd request
- two weeks go by
- releng ticket to be added as a collaborator
I also think we can improve the process by having the last bugzilla
comment include setting the needsinfo flag. Please share your
thoughts on these alternative process steps.
