F36 Change: Podman 4.0 (Late Self-Contained Change)
(Process note: this proposal is well past the deadline, but after
consulting with FESCo members, I am announcing it anyway, since it is
a leaf package that should have no impact on other
developers/maintainers)
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Podman4.0
== Summary ==
Podman 4.0 will be released in Fedora 36 for the first time.
== Owner ==
* Name: Dan Walsh
* Email: dwalsh(a)fedoraproject.org
== Detailed Description ==
Podman 4.0 will be fully released for the first time in Fedora 36. The
API has had breaking changes so it will not be released to stable in
Fedora 34 or Fedora 35. Podman 4.0 has a huge amount of changes and a
brand new network stack.
== Benefit to Fedora ==
Podman 4.0 has a huge list of new features, highlighted by a brand new
network stack. Lots of improvements and bug fixes.
See more here: https://github.com/containers/podman/releases/tag/v4.0.0-rc2
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: It is in RC2, now, so just complete the release.
* Other developers: N/A
* 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 ==
Podman 3.* release will not be able to connect to Podman 4.0 via
remote API, similarly Podman 4.0 will not be able to connect to Podman
3.* API.
Existing network stack will continue to run, on existing systems. All
containers and images need to be removed to try out the new network
stack.
== How To Test ==
Just test on existing systems. All Podman containers and images should
continue to work. And all compatibility API (docker-compose,
docker.py) should continue to work.
== User Experience ==
== Dependencies ==
== 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)
* Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Documentation ==
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
