Yubikeys are now supported
by Mike McGrath
The Fedora Infrastructure team is happy to announce support for the
hardware key authentication device, the yubikey. Users will be able to
use their own yubikeys to access some Fedora services, like
fedorapeople.org or some web services.
Why have we done this? The main purpose was to provide multi-factor
authentication to our high security systems. Requiring both a
username/password and yubikey otp to access our most sensitive hosts
provides an additional layer of security then just username/password
alone. Contributors requiring access to these hosts will be provided with
a yubikey. These hosts would include, for example, the signing servers.
We also decided to allow yubikeys as an authentication option for the
larger community to some hosts and services like fedorapeople.org or
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/community/. When asked for a password,
just use your yubikey to generate a otp instead. Those wishing to use one
may purchase a yubikey on their own at:
http://yubico.com/products/yubikey/
For more information on how to program your yubikey see the our yubikey
howto on the wiki:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastruture/Yubikey
Implementation work continues to be discussed and put in please but please
direct any questions or comments to #fedora-admin on irc.freenode.net or
the Infrastructure mailing list -

2 More Packaging Guideline Updates
by Toshio Kuratomi
There's 2 more Guidelines that were approved in past meetings that have just
been written up.
= Directory ownership update =
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/5
6 +1 votes , no 0 votes, and no -1 votes
This update makes it clearer that packages like gtk-doc do not need to be
required simply to own a directory and gives some examples of things that
are required for other reasons vs only directory ownership.
= Not using Sourcedir =
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/12
We sent this one to FESCo for review after approving it. They also approved
it so it's now written up. It prohibits the use of $RPM_SOURCE_DIR or
%{_sourcedir} to install files. Instead, %{SOURCEN} should always be used.

FPC Meeting -- Guideline Changes
by Toshio Kuratomi
At todays FPC meeting, the FPC approved several guideline changes.
= Rationale for Conflicts Guideline =
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/18
6 +1, no 0, no -1.
This was purely informational and requires no changes to how you package
= Appropriate Content in Changelogs =
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/17
6 +1, no 0, no -1
At fesco's request we explored what content was appropriate for rpm
changelogs. Our goal here was to not impose a burden or change on most
maintainers while still clarifying what was expected and not expected
content in a changelog entry.
= Update filtering of Provides and Requires =
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/16
6 +1, no 0, no -1
This change updated both the Auto Provides and Requires Filtering page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering
and the perl packaging guidelines:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl#Filtering_Requires:_and_Pro...
There were two changes:
1) Highlight that using Packaging:AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering is a must
and packages that are doing filtering in other ways should be migrated to
using the filtering described there.
2) Perl packages can use the %{?perl_default_filter} macro.
When rpm gains the ability to ignore the perl extensions and docdir the
ability exists to unset that macro and all should be well.
= Updated java guidelines =
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/13
6 +1, no 0, no -1.
The java guidelines have seen some minor updates proposed by a member of the
java sig. Most of it was clarification and fixes to the example spec
templates.
In addition to the guidelines accepted today, the following guidelines were
approved at a previous meeting and have now been written into the
guidelines:
= Bundled library exceptions =
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/8
This update to the bundled libraries policy clarified when an exception
might be granted and listed packagelibrary combinations which have been
granted exceptions with rationale.
Note that this does not cover gupnp-dlna (pending a future meeting) or the
recent mozilla talks (unknown how we're going to deal with that).

Package rebuilds for gcc bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=634757
by Jesse Keating
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
As you might be aware, there was a period of roughly two weeks where a
gcc build (gcc-4.5.1-3.fc14) in the buildroots for both Fedora 14 and
Fedora 15. Items built with this could have undefined behavior, which
could lead to data corruption.
Unfortunately I'm told that it is impossible to look at a generated
binary and detect whether or not the binary would be effected by this
bug. The only reliable way to tell would be to re-create the build
environment exactly, except replace GCC with one that will detect the
error scenario and print something. As this is a significant amount of
work, I decided instead to just rebuild the potential problem builds.
I detected all the "latest" builds of packages that had gcc-4.5.1-3.fc14
in the buildroot, and then further narrowed it down to things which
require rtld(GNU_HASH) to find the things that actually used gcc (since
gcc gets thrown in every buildroot anyway).
For Fedora 15 this was a simple task. Just find the packages where the
latest build is "bad", bump it and rebuild it. End of story. This work
is already done (except that a few have failed, and I need to follow up
on those).
For Fedora 14 the matter is much more complicated. Builds are spread
out across 3 main tags, dist-f14, dist-f14-updates-testing, and
dist-f14-updates-candidate.
dist-f14 is things that have made it through bodhi as stable.
dist-f14-updates-testing is for things which are currently in
updates-testing
dist-f14-updates-candidate is for things which could potentially become
an update should the maintainer decide.
To handle the F14 scene I've come up with this strategy:
* For things tagged in dist-f14 and no newer build elsewhere, do a bump,
build and tag directly into dist-f14. While there is some risk of
breakage, it is quite minimal and with discussion from QA we are willing
to take that chance. This work is ongoing.
* For things tagged in dist-f14-updates-testing, do a bump, build and
then edit the bodhi ticket to add the new build, and re-push to
updates-testing. This work will begin soon.
* for things tagged in dist-f14-updates-candidate, do a bump and build.
Then look for an open bodhi ticket for that package, adjusting as
needed. If no bodhi ticket is found, do not create a new one, just
leave the build as is. This work will begin soon.
Using this strategy we should be able to replace potentially bad builds
with corrected ones wherever they might have been published (barring the
failed builds). This message is mostly a heads up as to what's happening.
PS I had a small misfire in some of the F14 builds, I used the wrong
input set of packages. There is a chance that some f14 builds were done
unnecessarily. The unnecessary builds will just be ignored and left to
expire.
PPS I did not modify my bump script yet to attempt a commit to master
and merge to the f14 branch. In the interest of time, I took the easy
route and just did commits to the f14 branch. Maintainers can do a
merge and fixup after the builds have been done if they wish to have
their branches in sync with master once more.

Fedora mini is now Fedora Mobility!
by Peter Robinson
Hi All,
I ran a session with a group of interested people at FUDCon Zurich
titled "Fedora Mini, Moblin, MeeGo, Sugar..... oh my!" and there was a
great and interesting conversation between a number of parties
interested in Fedora on small devices. There were representatives from
Fedora people interested in the KDE NetBook spin, Moblin/MeeGo, Sugar,
ARM etc.
Part of that conversation was around the name of Fedora Mini and it
was decided that renaming the project to Mobility would better reflect
the interests and direction of the project.
I've been meaning to announce this ever since the always awesome
FUDCon but $paidjob took control again and I've not had the chance!
I've created the following wiki page here
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mobility and there is already a
#fedora-mobility IRC channel. I'm planning on getting the mailing list
migrated (renamed or something!).
Look forward to seeing you all there.
Regards,
Peter

Evolution-data-server update to 2.91.1 in rawhide
by Milan Crha
Hi,
the new release of evolution-data-server 2.91.1 contains API backward
incompatible changes in Camel, thus packages using it might need
adoption. Changes were announced at [1], and even I believe upstream
will take care of these changes, I would like to help with adoption on
modules requiring it. Planned date for doing the evolution-data-server
update in Rawhide is next Monday, October 11th, 2010.
I would like to also ask respective owners of [3] to approve me commit
rights on his/her package, which I'll request this Friday or beginning
of the next week through [2], so I'll be able to:
a) occasionally rebuild those packages against newer
evolution-data-server or evolution, to help with smoother updates
(I hope package owners will be fine with me doing so.)
b) add those packages to updates of evolution-data-server and evolution,
thus changes from these will come out together.
Thanks and bye,
Milan
