Python 2.7 status: python2.7 is in dist-f14
by David Malcolm 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

Rawhide (dist-f14) now has python 2.7 Many thanks to everyone who helped get us this far! Jesse and I moved 931 builds [1] from dist-f14-py27-rebuild to dist-f14 about 45 minutes ago. If I'm reading the Koji logs correct [2] [3], these packages are now available in the buildroot for F14, so further builds for "devel" will be against python 2.7 A further 26 builds in dist-f14-py27-rebuild had newer builds in rawhide, so we'll need to rebuild these; some are important e.g. yum and anaconda (see [1] again). Packages should now be built into rawhide, rather than to the dist-f14-py27-rebuild target. AdamW did some testing earlier using the py27 tag: "quick summary, preliminary findings: we can update a bare f13 live install pretty much okay, we can compose an f14 live pretty much okay (but can't test if it boots due to unrelated issues)" ; I've also been testing in runlevel3 on a rawhide box upgraded to the tag, and using it successfully as a development host for fixing other builds. However, this may be impacted by the newer builds mentioned above. We briefly got down to 99 failing rebuilds, but there was a flaw in my original mass-rebuild method: I had only rebuilt packages with a requirement on: python(abi) = 2.6 which didn't catch packages with a requirement on: libpython2.6.so.1.0 I ran a script to rebuild anything with the second criterion that I'd missed; these mostly succeeded, but there were some new failures. This brings the total number of failing rebuilds to 108: http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python-packaging/failures-2010-07-27-04.ht… with some new people listed there. ...plus the re-rebuilds mentioned above. I need food and sleep, so I plan to look at these rebuilds tomorrow. Common rebuild issues (in no particular order): - gcc44 -> 45 changes - gtk issues (being discussed on desktop(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, though I believe most of the gtk folks are at GUADEC) - swig 1 -> swig 2 changes - configure.ac files that list python 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 but not 2.7 - any actual python 2.6 -> 2.7 issues (seemingly few of these so far) - boost, perhaps? (looks like we need to rebuild again for the SONAME bump) See also: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Python_2.7 Hope this all makes sense Dave [1] http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python-packaging/mass-tag-from-dist-f14-py… [2] http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2355260 [3] http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=2355261&name=createrepo.l…

Testing Fedora? Please enable SELinux if you can
by Adam Williamson 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

I've been asked by FESCo to post this public service announcement :) We'd just like to remind those who test Fedora, in whatever way...running a stable release with updates-testing, running Rawhide, being a proven tester (especially)...that it's best if you test with SELinux enabled and enforcing. This is the default configuration of Fedora, so we need testers to be running with this configuration so we don't miss problems that show up when SELinux is running. For proven testers, I actually added a section about this to the instructions recently - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Proven_tester#Testing_process . We recognize there may be situations when SELinux causes problems and you need to make it permissive or turn it off temporarily, but please try and keep it turned on if you possibly can, and if you're in a situation where you need to disable it, please let the developers know by filing a bug, so they can fix it and you can turn it back on. Thanks a lot! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Branch_Freeze_Policy I know it's been a rough couple of days here, python-2.7 and boost rebuilds creating build havoc, systemd creating some interesting confusion, and dist-git to top it all off. But we'll work through it as best as we can, as we always do.

Firefox 4 for Fedora 14?
by Rahul Sundaram 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Hi, Are we skipping Firefox 4 for Fedora 14? Beta 2 has been released recently and I am wondering if we can go with it if it fits into the schedule. There are dozens of new features including WebM support that would be nice to have. Rahul

repos.fedorapeople.org
by Mike McGrath 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

I'm happy to announce the availability of repos.fedorapeople.org. Intended for non-transient package hosting, it's a good central location to store packages that users might find interesting. It's still a bit manual (but coprs should fix that). When the time comes we'll be able to properly mirror or move this if we need to (I do still have some performance questions) but since we've never done anything like this before it's hard to determine demand. Enjoy: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedorapeople_Repos -Mike _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce

strange issue with dist-git/fedpkg
by Julian Sikorski 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

Dear all, I tried to make a chain build today: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2368385 For some reason, an ancient release was picked for goffice, and not the proper 0.8.8-1. Any thoughts? Julian
