F38 proposal: Pyramid 2.0 (Self-Contained Change proposal)
by Ben Cotton
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Pyramid2.0
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes
process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive
community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved
by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
== Summary ==
Update Pyramid (package `python-pyramid` within Fedora) to latest major version.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:mattia| Mattia Verga]]
* Email: mattia.verga(a)fedoraproject.org
== Detailed Description ==
Pyramid 2.0 has been available since March 2021. We would like to
update Fedora package (`python-pyramid`) to this new major version
(we're now still shipping 1.10.5).
== Feedback ==
== Benefit to Fedora ==
Provide the latest available version of Pyramid framework instead of
the outdated one we're shipping.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
Pyramid will be rebuilt to 2.0 in a side-tag together with dependent packages.
Affected packages are owned by nirik and abompard and usually
co-maintained by infra-sig. I will contact them and offer me to
rebuild/upgrade affected packages.
Note that rebuilding dependencies is not strictly necessary, but I'll
do to ensure compatibility with Pyramid 2.0.
About bodhi-server, we've been always running tests against pypi
packages, so I do not expect anything to be broken by the update.
* Other developers:
* Release engineering:
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Alignment with Objectives:
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
== How To Test ==
A COPR repository has been set up to rebuild all dependencies:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mattia/Pyramid2/
== User Experience ==
This will not impact end user experience.
== Dependencies ==
* bodhi-server
* python-cornice
* python-pyramid-fas-openid
* python-pyramid-mako <-- needs to be updated to the latest git snapshot
* python-pyramid-tm
* python-pyramid_sawing
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: (What to do? Who will do it?) N/A (not a
System Wide Change)
* Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Documentation ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Release Notes ==

F38 proposal: Use mdadm for BIOS RAID Support in Anaconda
(Self-Contained Change proposal)
by Ben Cotton
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/UseMdadmForBIOSRAIDInAnaconda
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes
process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive
community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved
by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
== Summary ==
Use mdadm instead of dmraid to support BIOS RAID (Firmware RAID or
Fake RAID) during the Fedora installation process.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:vtrefny| Vojtech Trefny]] (Blivet)
* Email: vtrefny AT redhat.com
* Name: [[User:vponcova|Vendula Poncova]] (Anaconda)
* Email: vponcova AT redhat.com
== Detailed Description ==
[[Anaconda]] (or to be more precise [[Blivet]], the storage library
Anaconda uses) is currently using dmraid to support the BIOS RAID
devices (sometimes also called Firmware or BIOS RAID) during
installation. We plan to replace dmraid by mdadm, which we are
currently using for software RAID management. The main reason is that
dmraid is no longer actively maintained. mdadm supports the two major
BIOS RAID technologies: Common RAID Disk Data Format (DDF)
[https://www.snia.org/tech_activities/standards/curr_standards/ddf
standard by SNIA] and
[https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/products/122484/memory-an...
Intel Matrix Storage Manager] format. mdadm is missing support for
some older BIOS RAID formats that existed before DDF and are still
supported by dmraid so by implementing this change, we will remove
support for some BIOS RAID formats from the installer.
== Feedback ==
We tried to [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.o...
get feedback from the community] to find out how many users use BIOS
RAID and would be affected by this change (especially by removing
support for the older formats). The only response was from the Fedora
QA which has an Intel Matrix machine for testing which should be
supported by mdadm.
== Benefit to Fedora ==
Replacing a tool/library that is no longer being actively developed
and maintained. Because we are replacing it with a tool that is
currently used for software RAID management in the installer, this
also means removing one dependency from the installer environment and
remove the dmraid startup service from the installed system.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: Changes to Blivet (replacing dmraid with mdadm for
the specified BIOS RAID formats) and Anaconda (removing the
`inst.nodmraid` flag)
* Other developers:
* Release engineering:
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Alignment with Objectives:
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
This change will affect only new installations (the change only
changes behaviour of the installer).
== How To Test ==
A hardware with BIOS RAID support (DDF or IMSM) is required. (Creating
a "fake" BIOS RAID with mdadm might be possible for testing, we'll add
steps for testing without the hardware later (if possible).)
Follow the test case for installing on BIOS/Firmware RAID:
[[QA:Testcase_install_to_firmware_RAID]].
== User Experience ==
Users with supported BIOS RAIDs shouldn't notice a change, the
installation should work the same for them. Users with older
unsupported BIOS RAID formats won't be able to install Fedora on these
arrays. For these users we'll recommend switching to software RAID.
== Dependencies ==
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: Revert the changes and keep using dmraid for
all BIOS RAID formats.
* Contingency deadline: Beta <!-- REQUIRED FOR SYSTEM WIDE CHANGES -->
* Blocks release? No
== Documentation ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Release Notes ==

F38 proposal: Fedora Budgie Spin (Self-Contained Change proposal)
by Ben Cotton
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/FedoraBudgie
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes
process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive
community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved
by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
== Summary ==
Creation of an official Fedora Spin shipping the
[https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop Budgie Desktop
environment].
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:Joshstrobl| Joshua Strobl]]
* Primary Contact Person: [[User:Joshstrobl| Joshua Strobl]]
* Email: joshua(a)buddiesofbudgie.org
* Release notes tracker: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
== Detailed Description ==
Budgie Desktop is a well-known desktop environment originally
developed by the Solus operating system and currently developed under
the Buddies of Budgie organization. Budgie Desktop is available
through popular operating systems such as Arch Linux, EndeavourOS,
Ubuntu Budgie, Solus, and Ultramarine Linux.
Budgie Desktop’s goal is to be a feature-rich and modern desktop that
provides unique ways of interacting with the system (such as the
widget and notification center Raven) while being approachable to many
users with its default more traditional look and feel. Budgie Desktop
is extensible through its own plugin architecture and offers a variety
of customization options to enable users and partners (e.g. Ubuntu
Budgie) to make it their own.
Budgie Desktop and its respective components (Budgie Desktop View,
Budgie Control Center, Budgie Screensaver) is officially maintained by
Joshua Strobl, the lead of the Buddies of Budgie organization and a
newly proposed [[ SIGs/Budgie | Budgie SIG ]]. Budgie Desktop was
introduced in Fedora 37. A Fedora Budgie Spin would be a valuable
addition to Fedora’s existing spins, providing Budgie Desktop users
with the ability to use their favorite desktop environment with a
leading operating system.
== Feedback ==
Feedback to the prospect of a Fedora Budgie has been positive and
there has been demand for years for easy access to Budgie Desktop on
Fedora.
=== Ask Fedora ===
Budgie Desktop on Fedora has been sought after for years, for example
on the following posts:
* [https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/budgie-desktop-on-fedora/5134
Budgie Desktop on Fedora]
* [https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/budgie-for-fedora-33/11211/2 Budgie
for Fedora 33?]
=== Linux Journalism ===
* ''"In any case, the Budgie desktop coming to Fedora is good news. It
gives more options to the Fedora user and Budgie is a pretty sleet
desktop. People who like both Fedora and Budgie should be able to
enjoy the best of the both worlds."'' -
[https://news.itsfoss.com/fudgie-fedora-budgie-announcement/ It's
FOSS]
* ''"In summary, the effort to make the Budgie desktop available to
users of Fedora is a fantastic one. Not only does it give Fedora users
more choice, but [it will] bring the delights of Budgie to an even
wider set of users which, in turn, could help spur its development
further."'' - [https://www.omglinux.com/budgie-desktop-comes-to-fedora/
OMG Linux]
=== Reddit ===
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/uq3gah/budgie_desktop_has_now_be...
In a thread posted about the submission of Budgie Desktop] to Fedora
as well as the goal to eventually create a Fedora Budgie Spin, the
following was provided as feedback:
* ''"This is fantastic news! Fedora + Budgie is such a great match <3"''
* ''"Hey Josh! I moved from Solus to Fedora recently. But I do miss
Budgie quite a bit. Thanks for doing this."''
* ''"Congratulations! Fedora Linux with Budgie will be awesome."''
* ''"I would love to try a dedicated spin of budgie fedora, and would
even be willing to try a silverblue based spin too"''
== Benefit to Fedora ==
As with the support of other Fedora Spins, this change benefits end
users who run or wish to run Fedora on their personal computing
devices (laptop / desktop) with their preferred desktop environment.
These users may be coming from other operating systems that have a
slower iterative process, lack modern hardware support, or are missing
the large community and support network that Fedora offers.
Providing Budgie Desktop through a Budgie Spin would align with
Fedora’s common values of Features and First. Fedora prides itself on
its ability to closely collaborate with “upstreams” and empowering a
“wide spectrum of millions of users, administrators, and developers
worldwide”. Budgie Desktop shares a
[https://blog.buddiesofbudgie.org/state-of-the-budgie-may-2022/#user-centric
User-centric] “Core Value” that puts users at the center of how we
shape Budgie Desktop. Fedora’s ability to collaborate with and lead
the charge on technical innovation would benefit the development of
Budgie Desktop going into the future and Budgie Desktop’s perspective
on desktop experiences could help shape the evolution of personal
computing under Fedora as well.
A Fedora Budgie Spin would provide a better initial experience for
Fedora users that is more aligned with the “stock” or “promoted
defaults” experience by Budgie Desktop. Currently, end users that wish
to use Budgie Desktop on Fedora must install Fedora Workstation (due
to the extensive overlap between the GNOME “Stack” components offered
in Workstation and that of Budgie) and apply changes to get an
experience more aligned with the recommendations offered by the
[https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/wiki/Budgie-Desktop-on-...
external documentation].
A Fedora Budgie Spin would reduce the extraneous packages that come
with Fedora Workstation that are not needed as part of the Budgie
Desktop experience, provide consistent iconography and desktop
theming, and reduce potential headaches associated with the multi-step
process of getting Budgie Desktop on Fedora.

== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
There is no upgrade / compatibility impact from the Spin.
== How To Test ==
To test the Budgie Spin:
# Boot the Fedora Budgie ISO image either on bare-metal or in a virtual machine.
# Confirm successful boot into the Budgie Desktop environment.
# Launch Anaconda installer from the Budgie Menu (accessible in the
left corner of the bottom panel or pressing Super / Windows key) or
from the desktop icon.
# Confirm no issues with Budgie Desktop Settings (used for
personalizing Budgie Desktop). Budgie Desktop should have consistent
iconography through Papirus Icon Theme and “legacy GTK applications”
should be using Materia GTK Theme. Confirm functional Budgie Control
Center (display configuration panel for example).
# Confirm functional system tray.
# Confirm functional and accessible Raven (pressing Super / Windows
key + A or Super / Windows key + N).
== User Experience ==
Users are able to consume Budgie Desktop from
https://spins.fedoraproject.org instead of installing another desktop
environment and manually installing and configuring Budgie Desktop.
The Fedora Budgie Spin will be as minimal as possible, offering the
following:
* A core set of applications e.g. GNOME Software for updates and
package management, file manager, text editor, terminal, and web
browser.
* Consistent GTK theming through Materia GTK Theme and iconography
through Papirus Icon Theme - facilitated by gschema overrides.
* Recommended Budgie Desktop components (Budgie Desktop itself, Budgie
Desktop View for desktop icon support, Budgie Control Center, and
Budgie Screensaver for locking)
* lightdm + slick-gtk-greeter for a more refined greeter experience
== Dependencies ==
TBD
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency Mechanism: If a blocker bug comes up that breaks
composes of the Budgie Spin for Fedora 38, the Change can be bumped to
a future Fedora release (e.g. F39).
* Contingency Deadline: 2023-02-21
* Blocks release? No
== Documentation ==
None
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Release Notes ==
This release introduces the Fedora Budgie Spin. The Fedora Budgie Spin
aims to provide the premiere Budgie Desktop experience on top of
Fedora Linux, the leading edge platform for developers and users
alike.

F38 proposal: Upgrade ImageMagick to version 7 (Self-Contained Change proposal)
by Ben Cotton
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ImageMagick7
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes
process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive
community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved
by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
== Summary ==
Upgrade {{package|ImageMagick}} to the latest 7.x version.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:Ngompa| Neal Gompa]], [[User:Sergiomb| Sérgio Basto]],
[[User:Carlwgeorge| Carl George]]
* Email: ngompa13(a)gmail.com, sergio(a)serjux.com, carl(a)redhat.com
== Detailed Description ==
{{package|ImageMagick}} in Fedora is currently on the 6.x version
series. The latest version series is 7.x, and
[https://legacy.imagemagick.org/ upstream now recommends upgrading to
it]. Some of this work has been verified ahead of time in
[https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ngompa/ImageMagick7-dev/ a
COPR project], which will be the starting point for the transition.
We will attempt to avoid introducing an <code>ImageMagick6</code>
compatibility package, but if it is needed, it will be introduced.
== Feedback ==
This was [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.o...
discussed on the development mailing list prior to this Change] with
most commentators agreeing that upgrading the default package
("ImageMagick") and creating a compatibility package if needed of the
legacy version ("ImageMagick6") is the right approach for Fedora.
The Change Owners privately discussed and came to the conclusion we
should try this and proceed forward.
== Benefit to Fedora ==
This brings us in line with upstream recommendations on how to ship
ImageMagick, and gives users and developers access to the latest
features and fixes being made available in the ImageMagick software.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
** Update {{package|ImageMagick}} to version 7:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ImageMagick/pull-request/10
** Rebuild reverse dependencies to link to v7 libraries
** Any packages that cannot build or be adapted to build for v7 will
need to switch to {{package|GraphicsMagick}} or an ImageMagick6
compatibility package will be introduced for them
** As much as possible will be done in a side-tag to merge into Rawhide
* Other developers: N/A
* Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/11185 #11185]
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Alignment with Objectives: N/A
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
The main compatibility impact will be that third party packages will
need to adapt to ImageMagick v7 or use alternatives instead. Within
Fedora itself, these choices will be handled already.
== How To Test ==
Install and use any of the packages
== User Experience ==
This is largely an invisible change, so as long as applications using
ImageMagick still work.
== Dependencies ==
Reverse dependencies of the ImageMagick libraries.
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: In the event not everything can be migrated
to ImageMagick 7, then the ImageMagick6 compatibility package will be
introduced for them and they will be switched to that.
* Contingency deadline: Final freeze
* Blocks release? No
== Documentation ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Release Notes ==
The ImageMagick package is now based on the latest version 7 series.
This brings new enhancements, including support for more image formats
and features like HDR.
