systemd 236 in rawhide

by Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek

Hi, systemd 236 was released [1] and is building for rawhide. As always, there's a bunch of new functionality, in particular cgroups v2 support is updated and improved for the recent kernel changes [2], various systemd internal services now run under DynamicUser=yes, support for formatting and resizing file systems on the fly has been added, systemd-nspawn can join pre-defined network namespaces, ..., and many many small fixes and improvements. The way that the Fedora rpms are put together (or rather split apart) has been redone: we now use a set of regexp patterns [3] to divvy the files found in %buildroot between all the binary rpms. The advantage is that it's much easier to move a certain binary and all its ancillary files (the man page, service unit, symlinks). In particular we don't need to add %exclude patterns to the main binary rpm's %files section. This change fixed a number of misplaced manpages and service files and various files being assigned to multiple binary rpms. Nevertheless, it's possible that I messed something up, so please keep an eye out. [1] https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2017-December/039996... [2] Essentially, with linux-4.15 and systemd-236 full unified hierarchy is functional and almost feature complete. Cpuset controller is planned for 4.16, so that's missing, and moving scopes between the user session and user systemd manager still doesn't work (systemd-run --scope --user screen is broken ;( ). Also, although kernel and systemd support is almost there, other utilities that use cgroups might not have support for the unified hierarchy or threaded mode. Use systemd.unified-cgroup-hierarchy on the kernel command line to test this mode. [3] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/systemd/blob/master/f/split-files.py Zbyszek

[SO-NAME BUMP] libjson-c.so.3 comes to Rawhide

by Björn 'besser82' Esser

Hello folks, I'll update json-c to v0.13 for Rawhide. This will bump libjson-c so- name from 2 to 3 and will remove some deprecated stuff from its API. I'll bump and rebuild all affected packages in the same run and add patches for the new API, if needed. As soon as the first set of builds is done, I'll give a short update of the status. There might be some general fallout for builds of many packages in Rawhide for a few minutes; see `Possible complications` for the reason. I don't see any big complications during the rebuild, but `libu2f- server` needs some further checks and fixes, for some tests failing with json-c v0.13, which I will do in a few days as soon as all other new builds have hit the mirrors. Cheers, Björn === Possible complications === Since we have a circular dependency in rebuilding cryptsetup (and many other packages having direct or indirect (systemd !!!) BuildRequires on that package, I'll do the rebuild chains in two passes: json-c (with a copy of libjson-c.so.2*) : cryptsetup and after the rebuilt cryptsetup has landed the f28-build repo: json-c (final build, no libjson-c.so.2* included) : === Affected packages (my own packages excluded) === abrt bluez bti cryptsetup device-mapper-multipath fastd filezilla freeradius fwts gdal gdcm gfal2 girara gluster-block lcgdm-dav libreport libstorj libu2f-host libu2f-server libverto-jsonrpc libvmi mypaint ndctl newsbeuter openhpi opensips postgis riemann-c-client strongswan sway syslog-ng systemtap tlog zmap

[HEADS UP] [RAWHIDE] changed secure path in default sudoers

by Radovan Sroka

/usr/local/sbin and /usr/local/bin has been added into secure_path variable in default sudoers on RAWHIDE sudo. It was requested in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1166185. If you don't want it you still can revert it. You can add there file under /etc/sudoers.d e.g. /etc/sudoers.d/secure_path_revert. With this approach you can still use default sudoers and have it updated after each update of sudo and also have your own configuration under /etc/sudoers.d directory. $ cat /etc/sudoers.d/secure_path_revert #replace secure_path with old default Defaults secure_path = /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin -- -- --------------------------------------------------------- Radovan Sroka Associate Software Engineer | Security Technologies | Red hat, Inc.

ICU 60.1 coming to rawhide/F28

by Pete Walter

Hi all, Eike Rathke and I are working on updating ICU from 57.x to 60.x in rawhide/F28. It includes a soname bump and has a few API changes. We'll do an ABI compat package to avoid breaking the world while rebuilds are ongoing. We'll import it some time this week and I'll be coordinating rebuilds through my provenpackager powers. Thanks, Pete

Orphaning optipng

by Till Maas

Hi, I would like to orphan optipng. It is a PNG compression optimizer that I do not use anymore. Usually it does not make much work but two CVEs were published recently. I will fix them and then orphan the package unless someone would like to adopt it. Please state four FAS name if you like to take it. Kind Regards Till
