Proposed F19 Feature: Package Signature Checking During Installation
by Jaroslav Reznik 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

As decided by FESCo on 2012-12-05 meeting, all proposed Features are required to pass through the community review by announcing them on devel-announce list. FESCo votes on new features no sooner than a week from the announcement. = Features/PackageSignatureCheckingDuringInstall = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PackageSignatureCheckingDuringInsta… * Detailed description: One long-standing problem in Fedora is that we don't check package signatures during installation. This has been a persistent issue since the very beginning of Fedora (and even in Red Hat Linux before it.) The reason for this has always been that there's no way to form any root of trust for the signatures in the repositories, and thus no reason they wouldn't have been modified along with whatever package would need to be re-signed after tampering. Following the implementation of Features/SecureBoot, we can extend the Secure Boot keys as a root of trust provided by the hardware against which we can verify a signature on our key files, thus guaranteeing that they're from the same source as the boot media.

"Before each public release Development, QA and Release Engineering meet to determine if the release criteria are met for a particular release. This meeting is called the Go/No-Go Meeting."

poppler update in rawhide
by Marek Kasik 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Hi, I plan to rebase poppler in rawhide to poppler-0.22.0 at the beginning of next week. There are several API changes and 1 soname bump (libpoppler.so.26 to libpoppler.so.34). The API changes are mostly new functions but also some removals and moves of members between public and private sections. You can test your package against this scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4845665 Regards Marek

Proposed F19 Feature: Pillow - Replace PIL (python-imaging) with Pillow, an actively maintained fork
by Jaroslav Reznik 02 Jan '13

02 Jan '13

As decided by FESCo on 2012-12-05 meeting, all proposed Features are required to pass through the community review by announcing them on devel-announce list. FESCo votes on new features no sooner than a week from the announcement. = Features/Pillow = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Pillow * Detailed description: The PIL project has been rather inactive lately (last release in 2009), and one big issue is the missing python 3 compatibility. There seems to be some general agreement that Pillow [1] is a likely candidate to succeed PIL, and in particular to bring python 3 support, see the discussion at [2]. Pillow describes itself as "Pillow is the "friendly" PIL fork. PIL is the Python Imaging Library. Pillow was started for and is currently maintained by the Plone community. But it is used by many other folks in the Python web community, and probably elsewhere too." The fork author's goal is to foster packaging improvements via: - Publicized development and solicitation of community support. - Exploration of packaging problems within the fork, most noticably via adding setuptools support but also via clean up & refactoring of packaging code. Pillow is practically a drop-in replacement for PIL, except one small issue (see below). For Python 3, there is a fork which offers Py3 compatibility here [3]. The patches are planed for review and merge into Pillow, see [4]. [1] https://github.com/python-imaging/Pillow/ [2] http://mail.python.org/pipermail/image-sig/2012-October/007059.html [3] https://github.com/fluggo/Pillow [4] http://mail.python.org/pipermail/image-sig/2012-December/007120.html Pillow Feature is already being discussed on fedora-devel list, http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-December/175621.html --- Btw. If you have any concerns about the announcements (format, frequency, ml etc.), please let me know. Jaroslav
