Fedora Workstation Working Group Meeting 2025-06-17
by Michael Catanzaro 17 Jun '25

17 Jun '25

Hi, we didn't have a meeting agenda in advance of this week's meeting, but here is the meeting summary. As always, the summary is generated by Gemini and edited by me: Jun 17, 2025 Meeting Jun 17, 2025 at 08:49 CDT Summary Felipe Borges started a conversation regarding decreasing the amount of packages the GNOME team supports, with Michael Catanzaro concurring on the necessity to reduce maintenance but advising against considering whether applications are available on Flathub when removing ownership. Michael Catanzaro and Tomáš Popela discussed the difficulties in updating package ownership, while Matthias Clasen shared an update on the new sandboxed Rust-based image loader and Neal Gompa (Conan Kudo) provided an update on the OpenH.264 status. Details Package Set Reduction Felipe Borges initiated a discussion about reducing the number of packages maintained by the GNOME team, suggesting that many are not core to the desktop experience and might be better sourced from Flathub. Michael Catanzaro agreed with the need to stop maintaining everything but cautioned against removing packages solely based on Flathub availability, as it's not a default for Fedora users. The group decided to work on a list of packages to potentially orphan, with Tomáš Popela offering to help identify and clean up outdated maintainer assignments. Package Ownership Challenges Michael Catanzaro and Tomáš Popela acknowledged the difficulty of transferring ownership of GNOME SIG packages to new maintainers, as a human admin is required. Tomáš Popela mentioned a bug in Pagure that complicates administrative changes to packages, requiring intervention from Fedora infrastructure. The team agreed to communicate their intent to stop maintaining certain packages to allow current or new maintainers to step in. Image Loading Security Update Matthias Clasen announced the upstream release of a new Glycin and gdk-pixbuf update that replaces legacy pixbuf loaders with a sandboxed Rust-based loader, aiming to improve image loading security. They anticipated this change to land in rawhide soon and alerted the team to potential issues with image loading or performance due to the sandboxing. OpenH.264 Status Matthias Clasen followed up on the status of Open H.264, and Neal Gompa (Conan Kudo) reported receiving communication from Cisco indicating progress. Despite time zone challenges, Neal Gompa (Conan Kudo) is actively engaging with contacts at Cisco to resolve the issue. Matthias Clasen decided to keep this on the agenda for the following week. Suggested next steps Nieves Montero Fernandez will update the mclazy script to remove the identified packages. Felipe Borges, Michael Catanzaro, and Tomáš Popela will coordinate to identify non-core packages for removal, create a list, and announce this to the Fedora devel mailing list.
