LabPlot rebuild for liborigin update
by Alexander Ploumistos 10 Jul '26

10 Jul '26

Hello, A little earlier today, liborigin 3.0.4 was released, with the basic change being C++20 and C++23 compatibility. I have built updates for F43, F44 and F45 in the following site tags: f45-build-side-143560 f44-build-side-143562 f43-build-side-143564 Could you please fire up rebuilds of LabPlot in these as soon as it is convenient for you? On a separate note, about 7 years ago, when version 3.0.0 was released, I added Obsoletes/Provides to enable the transition from version 2.0.0. Is it safe to remove them now? Best regards, A.

hdf5 1.14.5 update coming to Rawhide this week
by Orion Poplawski 22 Oct '24

22 Oct '24

I will be updating hdf5 to 1.14.5 later this week, probably starting on Friday. This is a soname bump. I will be doing the build in a side tag and building all deps: CheMPS2 Field3D InsightToolkit LabPlot OpenMolcas R-Rsolid alembic avogadro2-libs caffe cantera cgnslib diffoscope dolfin freefem++ gdal gdl h5py kealib lammps libminc libsonata mathgl matio med moose morphio ncl netcdf nexus octave octave-communications opencv paraview petsc python-pypet python-tables qgis slurm vigra votca vtk I've filed issues for the couple of build issues I've hit so far, but otherwise things are looking pretty good. Some of the packages take a long time to build (vtk in particular) and some have long dep chains so it will take a couple of days to complete. -- Orion Poplawski he/him/his - surely the least important thing about me IT Systems Manager 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 https://www.nwra.com/

coordinating liborigin update
by Alexander Ploumistos 05 Jul '24

05 Jul '24

Hello, A new version of liborigin was released yesterday with a few bugfixes and it would be good to have both dependent packages, SciDAVis (maintained by me) and LabPlot updated along with it. I wrote to Felix, the LabPlot maintainer last night, but I have not heard back yet and I have not seen any activity from him recently. Is anyone willing to do a rebuild when I create the updates in side tags? It appears that KDE SIG members have commit access to the package. Best regards, A. P.S.1: Should the SciTech SIG be added to LabPlot's maintainers? P.S.2: In fas, we have a scitech group and a scitech_sig group. Are both valid? I was thinking that it might be a good idea to try the updates first in a COPR (though it might be an overkill, considering the scope of the update) and then I came across the SciTech COPR, to which only the first group has access and I don't belong to it.

Orphaning bes
by Orion Poplawski 26 Jan '24

I've orphaned bes. I never really used it, and I don't think anything depends on it in Fedora. -- Orion Poplawski he/him/his - surely the least important thing about me IT Systems Manager 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 https://www.nwra.com/

intent to hand over or orphan several scientific packages and their build requirements
by Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 05 Jan '24

05 Jan '24

Hello! I intend to hand over primary maintainership of the following packages or orphan them if nobody steps up: arpack chemtool cp2k elpa inchi python-colorspacious python-fypp python-GridDataFormats python-gsd python-kaitaistruct python-mmtf python-mrcfile python-Pympler tachyon wxmacmolplt xdrawchem I don't use them anymore, so I'm not a good maintainer for them. Most, if not all above, are co-maintained by SciTech SIG already. Please contact me if you want to take over one of these. Otherwise, I will orphan them in the first week of the new year. The packages are mostly in good shape, with the notable exceptions of cp2k and elpa, but there's an open PR for cp2k to update and fix current FTBFS.

openmpi 5.0.0 update coming - drops i686 and C++ API
by Orion Poplawski 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

I'm going to start building openmpi 5.0.0 and its requirements (pmix 4.2.7, prrte 3.0.2) and dependencies in a side-tag starting tomorrow. Notable changes are: * Dropping support for 32-bit * Dropping support for C++ API * Change in the environment variable to allow oversubscription (running with more processes than available cores) I will be making changes to dependent packages to address these changes. I've been rebuilding deps in COPR (https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/orion/pmix-4.2/builds/) and most rebuild fine. One exception is MUSIC which depends on the C++ API. There is a longstanding upstream issue to address this. Hopefully this will finally get dealt with. There are no soname bumps, but pmix has proved problematic in the past but its deps will be rebuilt. -- Orion Poplawski he/him/his - surely the least important thing about me IT Systems Manager 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 https://www.nwra.com/

cannot locate Kickstart (*.ks) file for Fedora Scientific 37 or 38
by raob 15 Feb '23

15 Feb '23

I followed the link, but the link for the kickstart file for Fedora Labs Scientific version states the link is retired. Do you know where I can find the kickstart file for Fedora Labs Scientific 37 or 38 or the complete list of packages that are installed in this Labs version of Fedora? I started here: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/f38/spins/ Then, I went here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Scientific_Spin Then, I clicked that link above, which is here: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spin-kickstarts.git/tree/fedora-livedvd-s… And, when I go there, I am greeted by a statement, which reads, "fedorahosted.org was retired on March 1st, 2017. If you are viewing this page, odds are it's after that date and you have been redirected here by attempting to go to some project on fedorahosted.org.”

openmpi 5.0.0 drops 32-bit support
by Orion Poplawski 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

As a heads up - openmpi 5.0.0 drops support for 32-bit builds [1]. I'm not sure how far away it is from release - we're on rc10 at the moment. Affected packages seem to be: amg4psblas-1.1.0-4.fc38.src.rpm arbor-0.7-4.fc38.src.rpm auryn-0.8.2-15.fc38.src.rpm boost-1.78.0-11.fc38.src.rpm bout++-4.4.2-5.fc37.src.rpm cgnslib-4.3.0-6.fc38.src.rpm cgnslib-4.3.0-7.fc38.src.rpm coin-or-Ipopt-3.14.9-2.fc38.src.rpm combblas-1.6.2-0.15.beta2.fc37.src.rpm cp2k-2023.1-2.fc38.src.rpm dolfin-2019.1.0.post0-36.fc38.src.rpm elpa-2022.05.001-2.fc38.src.rpm fftw-3.3.10-3.fc37.src.rpm freefem++-4.12-2.fc38.src.rpm ga-5.7.2-13.fc38.src.rpm gmsh-4.11.1-3.fc38.src.rpm gpaw-22.8.0-5.fc38.src.rpm gretl-2022c-2.fc38.src.rpm h5py-3.7.0-4.fc38.src.rpm hdf5-1.12.1-11.fc38.src.rpm hpx-1.8.1-1.fc37.src.rpm hypre-2.24.0-3.fc37.src.rpm intel-mpi-benchmarks-2021.3-3.fc38.src.rpm lammps-20220623-3.fc38.src.rpm libcircle-0.3-12.fc38.src.rpm libneurosim-1.2.0-6.20210110.gitafc003f.fc38.src.rpm mathgl-8.0.1-2.fc38.src.rpm mpi4py-3.1.4-2.fc38.src.rpm MUMPS-5.5.1-1.fc38.src.rpm MUSIC-1.1.16-10.20201002git8c6b77a.fc38.src.rpm nest-3.3-1.fc38.src.rpm netcdf-4.9.0-5.fc38.src.rpm netcdf-cxx4-4.3.1-8.fc38.src.rpm netcdf-fortran-4.5.4-3.fc38.src.rpm netgen-mesher-6.2.2202-5.fc38.src.rpm neuron-8.0.2-6.fc38.src.rpm nwchem-7.0.2-12.fc38.src.rpm openmpi-4.1.4-8.fc38.src.rpm paraview-5.11.0-3.fc38.src.rpm petsc-3.17.4-7.fc38.src.rpm psblas3-3.8.0-3.fc37.src.rpm python-dijitso-2019.1.0-12.fc38.src.rpm python-ffc-2019.1.0.post0-11.fc38.src.rpm python-lfpy-2.2.6-6.fc38.src.rpm python-steps-3.6.0-27.fc38.src.rpm quantum-espresso-7.0-5.fc38.src.rpm scalapack-2.2.0-3.fc38.src.rpm scotch-6.1.2-3.fc37.src.rpm sundials2-2.7.0-12.fc38.src.rpm sundials-5.8.0-11.fc38.src.rpm superlu_dist-8.1.1-1.fc38.src.rpm vtk-9.2.5-2.fc38.src.rpm Personally I've been planning on dropping 32-bit support in a buch of packages I maintain in this stack like vtk, paraview, etc. This seems like as good a driver for it as any. That said, packages that build serial and parallel versions don't need to drop 32-bit support completely, just for the openmpi builds. 1 - https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/11282 -- Orion Poplawski he/him/his - surely the least important thing about me IT Systems Manager 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 https://www.nwra.com/
