headup : libzip 0.11 in rawhide (and PHP change)
by Remi Collet
Hi.
I have updated libzip to 0.11.1 in rawhide.
Despite there is no soname change, see:
http://upstream-tracker.org/versions/libzip.html
So I think it is preferable to rebuild dependent packages to ensure all
is ok.
As PHP only work with libzip 0.10 (use lot of private stuff), the zip
extension is become unmaintainable, so have been dropped from php.
So we are going to receive tons of broken deps for pakages requiring
php-zip.
I just submit php-pecl-zip to review [1]
This extension (from the same sources, but updated for libzip 0.11) is
of course absolutely compatible.
It will be really simpler to sync the life cyle of this extension with
the library.

NOTE: Serf library 1.3.1 will land in f20 and rawhide soon
by Christopher Meng
Hi,
As serf upstream has released 1.3 and 1.3.1 bugfix for a long time, I'm
going to push an update in the next week. Upstream had changed to scon so
there needs some work.
Serf is the default client library of Subversion and Apache OpenOffice.
Subversion has been built with serf support for a while after serf got
approved. Not sure about AOO now.
Please check your package to see if there are any issues affected by the
update.
Thanks.

F20 Self Contained Change: Apache OpenOffice
by Jaroslav Reznik
= Proposed Self Contained Change: Apache OpenOffice =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ApacheOpenOffice
Change owner(s): Andrea Pescetti <pescetti(a)apache.org>
Add Apache OpenOffice [1], the free productivity suite, to Fedora.
== Detailed description ==
Apache OpenOffice (formerly OpenOffice.org) is an extremely popular free and open-
source office software suite.
Donated by Oracle to the Apache Software Foundation in 2011, it is now
developed and supported by a thriving community; it graduated from the Apache
Incubator in October 2012 and it is now an Apache Top-Level Project.
Apache OpenOffice 4.0, due in the last decade of July 2013, is a major update.
The two new versions (3.4.0 and 3.4.1) released in 2012 under the Apache
guidance totalled 60 million downloads so far, not counting mirrors.
To be clear, this proposal is about merely adding Apache OpenOffice: it doesn't
affect existing office suites included in Fedora and it doesn't require that
Apache OpenOffice is made the default office suite in Fedora.
== Scope ==
Proposal owners:
Packaging is the main issue here. The default OpenOffice build process produces
RPM packages, but there are major changes to be done to obtain a set of RPM
packages and matching SRPMs suitable for inclusion in Fedora.
Version 4.0 produces packages based on the current product name: this allows
to avoid name clashes with older versions of OpenOffice.
The OpenOffice sources have been updated to allow a clean build with the default
tools shipped with Fedora 19.
The change is isolated, except some possible packaging overlap with LibreOffice,
see below.
Other developers:
This issue was widely discussed for Fedora 19 too (the feature was then
postponed to Fedora 20 since OpenOffice 4.0 was rescheduled to be released after
Fedora 19).
The /usr/bin/soffice and /usr/bin/unopkg executables/symlinks are still a
problem since (in the Fedora packages) they would conflict between LibreOffice
and Apache OpenOffice: it is recommended to fix it in the LibreOffice packages too.
As discussed on the mailing lists, applications that programmatically spawn an
OpenOffice/LibreOffice process may benefit of the "soffice" symlink when they need to
locate an OpenOffice/LibreOffice installation. On the other hand, the current
upstream LibreOffice packages do not rely on a "soffice" symlink.
Anyway, some coordination will be needed, as already envisaged by FESCo for
Fedora 19, to ensure a smooth user experience. The impact on the system as a
whole is believed to be limited enough for this change not to be considered a
"system-wide change".

Rawhide grub messed up
by Jan Synacek
Hi,
I just updated my rawhide machine and it stopped booting. I end up in "grub
rescue>" prompt, stating that there is no '/grub2/i386-pc/normal.mod'.
grub rescue> ls /grub2
./ ../ themes/ grub.cfg
grub rescue> set
prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/grub2
root=hd0,msdos1
Partition seems to be right, why "msdos" escapes me, though. How do I fix this mess?
Cheers,

Obsoletes, Obsoletes, Obsoletes
by Michael Schwendt
Oh no! Another one of those threads... ;-)
Well, a comment from Thomas Moschny inspired me to examine "Obsoletes"
tags in our package collection a bit.
How to find "Obsoletes" tags, which are not high enough?
For example, it happens regularly that even with Fedora's Package Rename
Process, which requires a package review, incorrect Obsoletes (the $obsver
in the guidelines) manage to slip through because of the dist tag. The
supposed-to-be-obsolete package remains installed and installable. Or
worse, if not retired properly, it might return with a bumped release
after a rebuild:
pexpect-0:2.3-9.fc19.noarch isn't obsoleted
pexpect <= 0:2.3-9 obsoleted by python-pexpect-0:2.5.1-6.fc19.noarch
pexpect-0:2.3-10.fc20.noarch isn't obsoleted
pexpect <= 0:2.3-9 obsoleted by python-pexpect-0:2.5.1-6.fc19.noarch
What has happened? It should have been retired in Fedora 18 already when
it got obsoleted.
So, my first idea has been to look at all packages in the repositories and
search for builds with an EVR that is higher than an existing Obsoletes
tag for that package name. Huge output! A nightmare. A Herculean task to
check them all (until the script may be trusted), but easy enough to
skim over the list and perform a plausibility check:
latte-integrale
4ti2-0:1.5-3.fc18.i686 isn't obsoleted
4ti2 < 0:1.5-1 obsoleted by 4ti2-0:1.5-10.fc20.i686
Indeed. "latte-integrale" is the src.rpm name. It builds a "4ti2"
binary rpm with an EVR higher than the Obsoletes tag. Checking the
spec file in git:
%package -n 4ti2
# This can be removed once Fedora 18 reaches EOL.
Provides: 4ti2 = %{version}-%{release}
Obsoletes: 4ti2 < 1.5-1
And there are many more like that. We're really bad here.
I don't even understand that spec file. _Why_ does it add such
Provides (those are automatic for %name anyway) and self-Obsoletes?
Anyway, enjoy the full list here:
http://mschwendt.fedorapeople.org/dubious_Obsoletes_in_Rawhide_20130821.txt
On to the second experiment. Ancient Obsoletes! Which Obsoletes tags
are too low for any current build in Fedora 16 up to Rawhide?
It's a shorter list:
http://mschwendt.fedorapeople.org/ancient_Obsoletes_in_Rawhide_20130821.txt
But hey, what the heck is stuff like this?

I don't see that adding a bluetooth-panel-applet package is easy for mate/xfce/lxde.
First tests shows me that the removed panel code from gnome-bluetooth isn't independent from the the rest of the code.
I quess for this reason the gnome dev didn't remove /usr/lib64/gnome-bluetooth/libgnome-bluetooth-applet.so.0, which is in latest upstream.
Ok, i need really help to create such a package.
But there is also another simple solution........
gnome-bluetooth dev should add the removed (fallback) panel applet code back.
I'm pretty shure that is more easier for someone who knows the code to do that.
If gnome-bluetooth is the only client after the bluez5 switch which is working in fedora, than it should be work for all desktops, imo.
So adding the applet back would be a noble gesture from gnome to other desktops ;)
PS: i think cinnamon is also affected, because so far i know use cinnamon blueman code in the momment. But i'm not shure in this point.

Heads-up: Obsolete but still included packages
