Firecracker 1.9 crate updates
by David Michael 18 Sep '24

18 Sep '24

Hi, The Firecracker 1.9 release branch was forked earlier, and these are its crate updates not in Fedora by maintainer: decathorpe: clap-4.5.16 derive_more-1.0.0 (API update) libc-0.2.158 quote-1.0.37 serde-1.0.209 serde_json-1.0.127 syn-2.0.76 slp: kvm-bindings-0.9.0 (API update) kvm-ioctls-0.18.0 (API update) The release wasn't tagged yet, so there's no rush. I'm just sending the list now that it won't get any more dependabot bumps. (Although the committed release date in docs is Monday, 2024-09-02, which would be much sooner than the previous few releases.) Let me know if you'd like me to handle any of these updates, but I'll need to be added as comaintainer. Thanks. David

Request for help for packaging new potential Workstation default apps
by Neal Gompa 17 Sep '24

17 Sep '24

Hey folks, The Fedora Workstation WG is considering replacing several preloaded apps with alternatives: * Rhythmbox -> (gnome-music + Decibels[1]) or Amberol[2] * Evince -> Papers[3] * Totem -> Showtime[4] Of these apps, only Papers has a currently active package review[5]. The Fedora Workstation WG would like some help from interested Fedora Workstation users to contribute to the success of the Fedora Workstation offering by packaging these applications in Fedora. Members of the Working Group can help review packaging by anyone who takes this on to package the applications in a manner consistent with the Fedora packaging guidelines and general practices. If anyone is interested, please let us know and we can work out arrangements to assist new contributors. :) [1]: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Incubator/decibels (TypeScript) [2]: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/amberol (Rust) [3]: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Incubator/papers (C + Rust) [4]: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Incubator/showtime (Python) [5]: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2305882 -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!

Managing dependencies for a packaged Rust app in Fedora
by Jose Fernandez 03 Sep '24

03 Sep '24

Hi all, I recently finished packaging a Rust app for Fedora (bpftop), and I'm looking for advice on managing dependencies going forward. Usually, I'd use Dependabot on GitHub to automatically update dependencies when new crate versions come out. But with Fedora's packaging system, where only one version of each crate is allowed, I'm unsure how to balance this. A couple of questions: * Should I consider turning off Dependabot or similar tools because of Fedora's single-version crate policy? If not, how do you all handle these updates? * Are there any tips for setting up version requirements in Cargo.toml that work better with Fedora's packaging rules? For example, should I be more conservative with version ranges? I'd love to hear how others deal with this, especially if you've encountered similar challenges. Thanks in advance for your help!
