GNOME package builds and Fedora 39 final freeze
by Kalev Lember
Hi all,
Just a quick heads up that Fedora 39 is going to enter into the final
freeze early next week, on Tuesday morning. GNOME 45.1 is still a few weeks
away, so we'll be shipping 45.0 in Fedora 39 GA.
If you are maintaining GNOME packages and know that there are important
issues that are fixed upstream, please backport the fixes as patches to the
downstream packages so that we can ship as good as possible F39 release.
Alternatively, feel free to point me to the fixes and ask me to play a
patch monkey :) I'm happy to do that.
I think we'll need to line up any last minute fixes this week so that they
have sufficient time to go through Bodhi before the Final Freeze starts.
Thanks,
Kalev

GNOME 45.0 builds for Fedora
by Kalev Lember
Hi all,
GNOME 45.0 upstream tarball date is this weekend and I'm coordinating
the downstream builds for F39 and rawhide.
A quick note where we are in the release schedule:
Fedora 39 Beta was declared GO yesterday and is going to ship with GNOME
45.beta. We have the 45.rc mega-update in Bodhi
(https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-d422824191) and it
is queued to stable and hopefully gets pushed to stable later tonight
once the floodgates open again after the F39 Beta freeze.
My plan is to collect all F39 builds in the f39-gnome side tag, but for
rawhide build directly for rawhide. Hopefully there are no soname bumps
between 45.rc and 45.0 complicating things.
If you are helping with builds, please do the following:
For F39, use 'fedpkg build --target f39-gnome' and I'll take care to
submit everything to bodhi as a single mega-update.
For rawhide, if you are building just a single package, build directly
in rawhide. If it's a soname bump or anything else that requires
multiple packages built together, please use a koji self-service side
tag ('fedpkg request-side-tag' while the rawhide branch is checked out)
and build using this. We sadly don't have a good way to do named side
tags (f40-gnome) for rawhide.
openQA is active in rawhide and gating updates so hopefully it prevents
any broken updates landing.
I'm going to be following the above myself and kicking off builds as
soon as they are released upstream.
If you run into any issues (or if there are soname bumps or anything
else that would complicate things), please let me know - I'm available
for sorting things out.
Thanks and looking forward to an exciting GNOME 45.0 release!
