List of long term FTBFS packages to be retired tomorrow
by Miro Hrončok
Dear maintainers.
Based on the current fail to build from source policy, the following packages
should be retired from Fedora 36 approximately one week before branching.
However, 5 weekly reminders are required and I forgot to start this sooner,
hence the retirement will happen tomorrow, i.e. March 1st 2022.
Since this is after the Beta Freeze,
I will skip retiring components with depending packages.
Such components (if any) will be retired during the next release cycle,
and are included in this report for completeness.
Policy:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fai...
The packages in rawhide were not successfully built at least since Fedora 33.
This report is based on dist tags.
Packages collected via:
https://github.com/hroncok/fedora-report-ftbfs-retirements/blob/master/ft...
If you see a package that was built, please let me know.
If you see a package that should be exempted from the process, please let me
know and we can work together to get a FESCo approval for that.
If you see a package that can be rebuilt, please do so.

F37 Change: Boost 1.78 upgrade (System-Wide Change proposal)
by Ben Cotton
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F37Boost178
== Summary ==
This change brings Boost 1.78 to Fedora. This will mean Fedora ships
with a recent upstream Boost release.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:trodgers| Thomas Rodgers]]
* Email: trodgers(a)redhat.com
== Detailed Description ==
The aim is to synchronize Fedora with the most recent Boost release.
Because ABI stability is absent from Boost, this entails rebuilding of
all dependent packages. This also entails the change owner assisting
maintainers of client packages in decoding cryptic boost-ese seen in
output from g++.
The equivalent changes for previous releases were
[[Changes/F35Boost176]], [[Changes/F34Boost175]],
[[Changes/F33Boost173]], [[Changes/F30Boost169|Fedora 30 Change]],
[[Changes/F29Boost167|Fedora 29 Change]], [[Changes/F28Boost166|Fedora
28 Change]], [[Changes/F27Boost164|Fedora 27 Change]],
[[Changes/F26Boost163|Fedora 26 Change]], [[Changes/F25Boost161|Fedora
25 Change]], [[Changes/F24Boost160|Fedora 24 Change]],
[[Changes/F23Boost159|Fedora 23 Change]] and
[[Changes/F22Boost158|Fedora 22 Change]].
== Benefit to Fedora ==
Fedora 37 includes Boost 1.78.
Fedora will stay relevant, as far as Boost clients are concerned.
Boost 1.78 does not bring any new components, but includes two new
header-only libraries from Boost 1.77 -
* Describe: A C++14 reflection library. Provides macros for describing
enumerators and struct/class members, and primitives for querying this
information.
* Lambda2: A C++14, dependency-free, single header lambda library.
Allows simple function objects to be constructed via expressions such
as _1 + 5, _1 % 2 == 0, _1 > _2, or _1 == ' ' || _1 == '\t'.
Boost 1.78 also includes many fixes and enhancements to existing components.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
** Build will be done with Boost.Build v2 (which is the
upstream-sanctioned way of building Boost)
** Request a "f37-boost"
[https://docs.pagure.org/releng/sop_adding_side_build_targets.html
build system tag]
([http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-November/159908.html
discussion]):
** Build boost into that tag (take a look at the
[http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=606493 build
#606493] for inspiration)
** Post a request for rebuilds to fedora-devel
** Work on rebuilding dependent packages in the tag.
** When most is done, re-tag all the packages to rawhide
** Watch fedora-devel and assist in rebuilding broken Boost clients
(by fixing the client, or Boost).
* Other developers:
** Those who depend on Boost DSOs will have to rebuild their packages.
Feature owners will alleviate some of this work as indicated above,
and will assist those whose packages fail to build in debugging them.
* Release engineering: TODO <!-- [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/9421
#9421] --> (a check of an impact with Release Engineering is needed)
* Policies and guidelines:
** Apart from scope, this is business as usual, so no new policies, no
new guidelines.
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
* No manual configuration or data migration needed.
* Some impact on other packages needing code changes to rebuild.
Historically this hasn't been too much of a problem and could always
be resolved before deadline.
== How To Test ==
* No special hardware is needed.
* Integration testing simply consists of installing Boost packages
(`dnf install boost`) on Fedora and checking that it does not break
other packages (see below for a way to obtain a list of boost
clients).
== User Experience ==
* Expected to remain largely the same.
* Developers building third-party software on Fedora may need to
rebuild against the new Boost packages, and may need to adjust their
code if the new Boost release is not source-compatible.
== Dependencies ==
Packages that must be rebuilt:
<code>$ dnf repoquery -s --releasever=rawhide --whatrequires
libboost\* --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=fedora | sort -u</code>
All clients:
<code>$ dnf repoquery --releasever=rawhide --archlist=src
--whatrequires boost-devel --disablerepo='*'
--enablerepo=fedora-source</code>
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: Worst case scenario is to abandon the update
and simply ship F37 with Boost 1.76, which is already in rawhide.
* Blocks release? No
* Blocks product? None
== Documentation ==
* https://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_78_0.html (released on
8th December 2021)
* https://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_77_0.html (released on
11 August 2021)
* https://www.boost.org/development/index.html

F37 Change: Curl-minimal as default (System-Wide Change proposal)
by Ben Cotton
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/CurlMinimal_as_Default
== Summary ==
`libcurl-minimal` and `curl-minimal` will be installed by default
instead of `libcurl` and `curl`.
The "minimal" variants provide only a subset of protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP).
The full versions can be explicitly requested as `libcurl-full` and `curl-full`.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:Zbyszek| Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek]]
* Email: zbyszek at in.waw.pl
* Name: [[User:Kdudka| Kamil Dudka]]
* Email: kdudka at redhat.com
== Detailed Description ==
The `curl` package provides two sets of subpackages: `curl`+`libcurl`
and `curl-minimal`+`libcurl+minimal`.
`curl-minimal`+`libcurl-minimal` are compiled with various
semi-obsolete protocols and infrequently-used features disabled:
DICT, GOPHER, IMAP, LDAP, LDAPS, MQTT, NTLM, POP3, RTSP, SMB, SMTP,
SFTP, SCP, TELNET, TFTP, brotli compression, IDN2 names.
(Both variants support HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP.)
`curl-minimal` has `Provides:curl` and `libcurl-minimal` has `Provides:libcurl`.
This means that both sets can be used to satisfy a dependency on
`curl` or `libcurl`.
`curl` has the virtual `Provides:curl-full` and `libcurl` has the
virtual `Provides:libcurl-full`.
The user or another package can explicitly pull in the full variants,
e.g. with `dnf install curl-full`
or `Requires: libcurl-full`.
With this change, `Suggests: libcurl-minimal` or `Suggests:
curl-minimal` will be added to a few packages
that already have a dependency on `libcurl` or `curl`.
Currently, doing this for `systemd` and `rpm` is planned.
Effectively, `dnf` will install the minimal variants, unless another
package has a stronger dependency on the full variants.
== Benefit to Fedora ==
There are two separate motivations for this.
Those infrequently used protocols are less tested than the common ones
and are a source of security bugs.
Most users are not using those protocols anyway, so disabling them
reduces the bug and attack surface.
(In fact, many applications already call `curl_easy_setopt(c,
CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS, …)` to internally
limit what protocols are supported. So even if `libcurl` is swapped
for `libcurl-minimal` for many
uses this will not be a difference.)
The packages for the minimal variants are smaller:
a trivial installation with `curl-minimal`+`libcurl+minimal` is 18 MB
download, 57 MB installed size, 50 packages;
the same with `curl-full` and `libcurl-full` is 21 MB download, 65
installed size, 62 packages.
Thus we save 8 MB, reducing the initial size by 12%.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
Create pull requests to add `Suggests: curl-minimal` or `Suggests:
libcurl-minimal` as appropriate
to packages which already require `curl` or `libcurl`: `rpm` and `systemd`.
This means that any installation (which should be most of them) will
get the minimal variants.
* Other developers:
For packages that use the full variants: add `Recommends: curl-full`
or `Recommends: libcurl-full` or
`Requires: curl-full` or `Requires: libcurl-full` as appropriate.
* 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 ==
Users who use curl or another application which uses libcurl with the
removed protocols will lose support for those protocols. They will
need to explicitly install the full variants.
== How To Test ==
`dnf swap curl curl-minimal` or `dnf swap libcurl libcurl-minimal` and
check that `curl` and other applications using `libcurl` still work.
== User Experience ==
This should be not be noticed by users, except as noted above in
Upgrade/compatibility impact.
== Dependencies ==
== Contingency Plan ==
Remove the additions of Suggests, or even add explicit Recommends or Requires.
* Contingency deadline: any time, possibly even after the final release
* Blocks release? No
== Documentation ==
This page should be enough.
== Release Notes ==
`curl-minimal` and `libcurl-minimal` are installed by default. The
support for various obsolete protocols is unavailable by default
through curl (DICT, GOPHER, IMAP, LDAP, LDAPS, MQTT, NTLM, POP3, RTSP,
SMB, SMTP, SFTP, SCP, TELNET, TFTP, brotli compression, IDN2 names).

F37 Change: Enable read only /sysroot for Fedora Silverblue & Kinoite
(Self-Contained Change proposal)
by Ben Cotton
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Silverblue_Kinoite_readonly_sysroot
== Summary ==
This change is about enabling an opt-in ostree feature that re-mounts
`/sysroot` as read only to avoid accidental changes.
Users and administrators are not expected to directly interact with
the content available there and should instead use the interface
offered by rpm-ostree, GNOME Software or (soon) Plasma Discover to
manage their system.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:Siosm| Timothée Ravier]], [[User:Tpopela| Tomáš
Popela]], [[User:jkonecny| Jiří Konečný]]
* Email: siosm(a)fedoraproject.org, tpopela(a)fedoraproject.org, jkonecny(a)redhat.com
* FESCo shepherd: [[User:Ngompa| Neal Gompa]] ngompa(a)fedoraproject.org
== Detailed Description ==
On rpm-ostree based systems, the real root (the root directory of the
root partition on the disk) is mounted under the `/sysroot` path. By
default it contains the state of the system (the content of `var` and
`etc`) as well as the system versions themselves (each versioned copy
of `/usr`) in the ostree repository (`/ostree/repo`).
This change is about enabling an opt-in ostree feature that re-mounts
`/sysroot` as read only to avoid accidental changes.
Users and administrators are not expected to directly interact with
the content available there and should instead use the interface
offered by rpm-ostree, GNOME Software or (soon) Plasma Discover to
manage their system.
Example of issue: https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues/232
This change replicates for Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite what has been
done in Fedora CoreOS in a previous release.
== Feedback ==
None so far.
== Benefit to Fedora ==
This will make Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite more robust to accidental
damage from users.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
** Work on the changes requires for new installations (potentially
Anaconda configuration changes) and support for in place updates for
existing installations (requires a two step process).
* Other developers:
** Potential Anaconda changes required.
* Release engineering: N/A
* 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 ==
We will create a systemd unit that perform the updates in place for
existing systems. This will require a two step process (changing the
existing kernel arguments, and then enabling the ostree feature). Once
the feature is enabled, user won't be able to rollback to previous
deployments where the kernel argument is not set. We will have to
clearly document that in the documentation for easier troubleshooting.
== How To Test ==
Only try the following if you are confortable debugging an un-bootable
system and have made backups!
`$ sudo rpm-ostree kargs --append-if-missing=rw`
`$ sudo ostree config --repo=/sysroot/ostree/repo set "sysroot.readonly" "true"`
`$ sudo systemctl reboot`
Note that you can not "rollback" to the previous deployment to undo
this change. You will have to boot into a Live ISO and edit the config
file in the ostree repo to remove this config option.
== User Experience ==
There should be no visible change in user experience.
== Dependencies ==
Requires changes in Anaconda (maybe just config?) to set default kargs
and property on ostree repo for new installations.
== Contingency Plan ==
Revert the change before the release.
== Documentation ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Release Notes ==

F37 Change: Make pkexec and pkla-compat optional (Self-Contained
Change proposal)
by Ben Cotton
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/polkit_recommends_pkla_pkexec
== Summary ==
Split `pkexec` from the polkit package and make it a recommended only
sub-package. Similarly, make the polkit-pkla-compat package a
recommended package too. This will enable users and desktop no longer
relying on those features to avoid installing them.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:Siosm| Timothée Ravier]], Jan Rybar
* Email: siosm(a)fedoraproject.org, jrybar(a)redhat.com
== Detailed Description ==
`pkexec` and `pkla-compat`
([https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/polkit-pkla-compat package]) are
legacy tools that are no longer needed on a desktop and increase the
attack surface as they are SetUID binaries (`pkexec`) or not
maintained anymore (`pkla-compat`).
This change will thus split `pkexec` from the polkit package and make
it a recommended only sub-package. Similarly, it will make the
polkit-pkla-compat package a recommended package too. This will enable
users and desktop no longer relying on those features to avoid
installing them. Users that still need those features will easily be
able to install them.

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.o...
See in progress PR: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/polkit/pull-request/2
== Benefit to Fedora ==
Increased security, less legacy software installed by default, moving
to a more secure desktop by default.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
** Test as many desktop environments as possible and add the new
dependencies for the packages requiring either polkit-pkla-compat
rules support or pkexec.
* Other developers:
** Test as many desktop environments as possible and add the new
dependencies for the packages requiring either polkit-pkla-compat
rules support or pkexec.
* Release engineering:
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A
* Alignment with Objectives:
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
Nothing should happen during upgrades for existing systems as the
packages are still available and will be kept as is and the new
polkit-pkexec package will be installed for users not deselecting
recommends.
Only new installations that will not have those packages will be
impacted and the risk of security issues with the pkla rules removal
is low.
== How To Test ==
1. Install the polkit package from
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/siosm/polkit/
2. Remove the polkit-pkexec sub-package and polkit-pkla-compat package
3. Ensure that your applications and desktop environment are still
working as intended. Focus on applications that require privileges.
== User Experience ==
N/A
== Dependencies ==
N/A
== Contingency Plan ==
Revert the change.
== Documentation ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Release Notes ==

List of long term FTBFS packages to be retired in March
by Miro Hrončok
Dear maintainers.
Based on the current fail to build from source policy, the following packages
should be retired from Fedora 36 approximately one week before branching.
However, 5 weekly reminders are required and I forgot to start this sooner,
hence the retirement will happen in 5 weeks, i.e. March 1st 2022.
Since this is after the Beta Freeze,
I will skip retiring components with depending packages.
Such components (if any) will be retired during the next release cycle,
and are included in this report for completeness.
Policy:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fai...
The packages in rawhide were not successfully built at least since Fedora 33.
This report is based on dist tags.
Packages collected via:
https://github.com/hroncok/fedora-report-ftbfs-retirements/blob/master/ft...
If you see a package that was built, please let me know.
If you see a package that should be exempted from the process, please let me
know and we can work together to get a FESCo approval for that.
If you see a package that can be rebuilt, please do so.

Server Updates and Reboots
by Mark O'Brien
Greetings all,
Apologies for the late notice on this message. I previously sent it to the
infrastructure list and should have sent it here at the same time.
We will be doing a mass update/reboot this week. We haven't done
one in a couple of months and would like to get all up to date before the
upcoming beta freeze.
Rough plan:
* Monday (2022-02-14): *.stg.iad2.fedoraproject.org. update/reboot all
staging hosts. We need to watch for the openshift clusters and make sure
they come back up correctly.
* Tuesday (2022-02-15): any non outage causing hosts. This would include
proxies and their virthosts since we can take them out of dns. Also
might include some virthosts in iad2 as long as all the guests on them
have counterparts on other virthosts to take the load.
* *Wed (2022-02-16): Outage starting at 21UTC.*
Everything else left that we haven't done yet we do here.
Outage ticket: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/10536
This is mostly on Kevin and I, since it needs sysadmin-main, but our
SOP/doc on this is horribly out of date if someone(s) would like to work
on updating it. (
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/infra/sysadmin_guide/massupgrade/ )
Also there's talking to users during the outage and testing things after we
are done.
Thanks,
Mark
