F38 proposal: Minizip renaming (Self-Contained Change proposal)
by Ben Cotton 15 Aug '22

15 Aug '22

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/MinizipRenaming 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 == Renaming the "minizip" package to "minizip-ng" and renaming the "minizip-compat" zlib subpackage to "minizip" to align with the upstream naming. == Owner == * Name: [[User:ljavorsk| Lukas Javorsky]] * Email: ljavorsk(a)redhat.com == Detailed Description == Upstream has changed the naming of the "minizip" package to "minizip-ng" and we should follow their naming so there is no confusion about which package is the right one. Upstream has also requested to rename the "minizip-compat" zlib subpackage to "minizip" which is the right naming for the package. The "minizip" and "minizip-compat" provides different shared libraries which prevent us from conflicting sonames. The plan behind this change can be put into x steps which will be completed separately and in the given order: ''NOTE: All of the Provides and Obsoletes will be added to the *-devel subpackages as well.'' 1) Create a new package "minizip-ng" which will `Provides: minizip = %{sameevr}` and `Obsoletes: (minizip < 3.0.2-7 and minizip > 3.0.0-1)` ''NOTE: The versions I choose here are the safe versions that create a space for possible "minizip-compat" rebases'' 2) Rebuild all of the packages that BuildRequire/Require "minizip" package to BuildRequire/Require new "minizip-ng" package 3) Retire the "minizip" package following the [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Retirement… Package Retirement Process] 4) Wait for the Fedora 40 when it's ensured that every user has updated at least to the Fedora 38. Remove the `Provides` and `Obsoletes` from the "minizip-ng" package 5) Rename the "minizip-compat" to the "minizip" package and add `Provides: minizip-compat = %{sameevr}` and `Obsoletes: minizip-compat < 1.2.12` == Feedback == Early feedback from the community is possite, the feedback is located in this [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org… Email thread] == Benefit to Fedora == Fedora should always respect upstream package naming, so the users are not confused about which package are they installing. This naming change will align the naming with the upstream. == Scope == * Proposal owners: New package "minizip-ng" will be created, and several changes in "minizip-compat" package which are described in the Detailed Description. * Other developers: Change the names of their BuildRequires/Requires accordingly. * Release engineering: No action required * 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 == When following the plan in Detailed Description there will be no need for manual action. Everything will be handled by the automated dnf upgrade. == How To Test == == User Experience == == Dependencies == List of the packages from Fedora 37 === minizip === repoquery --whatrequires "*libminizip.so.3*" | pkgname | uniq R-libSBML collada-dom dolphin-emu dolphin-emu-tool java-libsbml keepassxc libnuml librasterlite2 libsbml libspatialite libxlsxwriter minizip-devel perl-LibSBML python3-libsbml ruby-SBML sigil vxl xiphos zfstream === minizip-compat === repoquery --whatrequires "*libminizip.so.1*" | pkgname | uniq chromedriver chromium chromium-headless domoticz hashcat libdigidocpp minizip-compat-devel springlobby == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Remove the builds created and revert shipped changes.

Inactive provenpackagers to be removed from group
by Ben Cotton 11 Aug '22

11 Aug '22

In accordance with FESCo policy[1], the following provenpackagers will be submitted for removal in two weeks based on a lack of Koji builds submitted in the last six months. If you received this directly, you can reply off-list to indicate you should still be in the provenpackager group. Note that removal from this group is not a "punishment" or a lack of appreciation for the work you have done. The intent of the process is to ensure contributors with distro-wide package privileges are still active and responsive. This process is done regularly at the branch point in each release. [1] https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Provenpackager_policy/#_maintain… Checked 140 provenpackagers The following 14 provenpackagers have not submitted a Koji build since at least 2022-02-03 00:00:00: pingou lupinix ausil laxathom dtardon psabata devrim harald chkr goldmann jwilson oliver wtogami steve -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis

F37 branch and change complete (testable) deadline tomorrow
by Ben Cotton 08 Aug '22

08 Aug '22

Hi everyone, As a reminder, tomorrow is the scheduled[1] date for F37 to branch from Rawhide. In addition, this marks the change complete (testable) deadline. As this time, accepted changes should be sufficiently complete to be testable. You can indicate this by setting the Bugzilla tracker to MODIFIED (if the change is fully complete, you can go ahead and set the tracker to ON_QA). Changes with a tracker not in MODIFIED or ON_QA will be sent to FESCo in order to evaluate contingency plans.

Dear maintainers. Based on the current fail to build from source policy, the following packages will be retired from Fedora 37 approximately one week before branching. Considering the branching is scheduled for tomorrow, I plan to do the retirements today. Policy: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails… The packages in rawhide were not successfully built at least since Fedora 35. This report is based on dist tags.

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.
