Update of gitolite (ACL system) on pkgs.fedoraproject.org
by Jesse Keating
I've just updated the gitolite package on pkgs.fedoraproject.org. This
package is what does ACL enforcement.
This update brings us upstream support for the configuration we're
using, and better error reporting when trying to clone a repo that
doesn't exist yet.
It also enables https authenticated support which we could look into for
those that cannot use ssh.
I tested this update quite a bit in our staging environment, but
something can always go wrong, so if you notice anything weird when
interacting with pkgs.fedoraproject.org please don't hesitate to email
me, the infrastructure list, or find me on IRC to discuss it.
Thanks!

gtkhtml3 soname bump in Rawhide
by Milan Crha
Hi,
just finished gtkhtml3 update to 3.91.4 has a soname bump, due
to changes in its API as was discovered in [1]. It has it since 3.91.3
release, somehow, only the soname wasn't changed.
I know this is kinda late notice, but the bug was discovered just before
the release.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused by this.
Bye,
Milan Crha

Call for Fedora 15 Test Days
by Adam Williamson
Hi, everyone! I've already spoken to some developers with big features
for F15 to arrange Test Days, but I just wanted to send out a general
call to remind developers that the Test Day process is available for any
big changes you have landing for F15 (or even little changes, we're not
fussy :>). Test Days are testing events where we co-ordinate a set of
test cases, and special test images if this is needed / helpful, and try
to get a group of testers plus developers online on IRC around the same
time to help do some well-organized testing with a short feedback loop
between testers and developers. The QA group can organize the event for
you (we just tell you when to show up on IRC), help you organize the
event, or get out of the way and let you do it yourself - whatever you
like.
Here's how the schedule looks so far:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Fedora_15_test_days
It's quite pencil-y right now, so if you really want one of the
already-taken days, we can probably arrange it. We can also run Test
Days on days other than Thursday if necessary, but we try not to run too
many in a single week, and stick to Thursdays when we can as it's quite
a convenient day.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Here's the Test Day SOP, which tells you how to put a test day together:

[Guidelines Change] Changes to the Packaging Guidelines
by Tom Callaway
Here are the latest set of changes to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines:
---
A new page has been added which describes how to deal with bundled
libraries when you find them in your package:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Treatment_Of_Bundled_Libraries
---
Some clarification has been added to the sections dealing with bundled
libraries, specifically that:
In this RPM packaging context, the definition of the term 'library'
includes: compiled third party source code resulting in shared or static
linkable files, interpreted third party source code such as Python, PHP
and others. At this time JavaScript intended to be served to a web
browser is specifically exempted from this but this will likely change
in the future.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Duplication_of_system...
Also, a note was added to make it clear that multiple licensing
scenarios may be a good indicator of a bundled library situation:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#Multiple_Lic...
---
A section has been added to the Packaging:Guidelines#Changelog entry
describing the acceptable methods of having multiple changelog entries
per release:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Multiple_Changelog_En...
---
A new example of a reason an exception for bundling libraries might be
granted has been added to the guidelines. If the library is being
bundled because it is a snapshot of a newer release of the library
needed for new features, you may have grounds for an exception. See the
complete policy for details on when an exception might be granted for
this reasoning.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries#Needing_unr...
---
Fedora has always implied that the update path from Fedora release to
Fedora release and from Fedora release to updates should be maintained
but there wasn't an explicit statement in the Guidelines. Well, there
is now.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Package_Versioning
---
The guidelines have been updated to indicate that %doc files must not
have executable permissions.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Documentation
---
The section on Requiring Base Package was clarified, as the original
language involving -libs packages may have been confusing:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Requiring_Base_Package
---
These guidelines (and changes) were approved by the Fedora Packaging
Committee (FPC).
Many thanks to Steven Garcia, Nils Philippsen, FESCo and all of the
members of the FPC, for assisting in drafting, refining, and passing
these guidelines.
As a reminder: The Fedora Packaging Guidelines are living documents! If
you find something missing, incorrect, or in need of revision, you can
suggest a draft change. The procedure for this is documented here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Committee#GuidelineChangeProcedure
Thanks,

exiv2 soname bump
by Rex Dieter
exiv2-0.21 was released recently, and includes a soname bump. I plan on
importing this into rawhide next week sometime, if all goes well.
Here's a scratch build for testing,
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2636872
I've done a few test builds of the items below, and the only one that
ftbfs is pyexiv2 (a usual suspect, being a low-level binding).
and a list of affected pkgs,
