heads up: planned changes of Git (split, credentials replacements) in
rawhide
by Petr Stodulka
Hello,
we are planning some changes in Git in rawhide according to some
changes in upstream. I want to apply all changes during this week
yet, but in case you have some recommendation or propmts to planned
changes, you can yet give me feedback before we will do that.
Briefly, changes what would be interesting for you:
- Move gnome-keyring credential helper from git-core to separate
subpackage git-gnome-keyring. If you use use someone this, you should
install it manually or modify requirements
Note: credential-gnome-keyring is deprecated by upstream.
- enable libsecret credential helper instead of libgnome-keyring
- part of git rpm
- fixed requirements of packages
- removed requirements:
rsync from git-core
libgnome-keyring from git-core
- added requirements:
libcurl for git-core
perl(Git) for git-email
perl(Git) for git-cvs
libsecret for git
Cheers,
Petr

Fedora mass rebuild 2017
by Marek Polacek
It's been a tradition now that every January we rebuild all the Fedora packages
with the upcoming GCC, to reveal as many bugs as possible before we release
the new version. This year is no different.
There were 18811 packages overall (last year we had 17741 packages).
17263 built fine with the new GCC (mostly gcc-7.0.0-0.1.fc26.src.rpm but I also
used a newer version from rawhide). 1350 failed with both GCC 6 and GCC 7,
so I ignored these. This left us with ~198 packages that had to be analyzed,
a number which, fortunately, was smaller than last year, when we'd had 577 FTBFS to
investigate.
The Fedora packages I rebuilt were grabbed on Jan 12.
It's all fairly good, and nothing particularly stands out. There is the usual
batch of new warnings (-Wimplicit-fallthrough and -Wformat-truncation causing
the biggest churn), some C++ FE changes (especially the "Fix type-dependence
and the current instantiation" changes made the compiler to reject invalid code
that had previously been accepted, plus invalid conversions with '\0' are now
rejected), some libstdc++ changes (header dependency changes), as well as some
mangling changes.
We found several GCC bugs, most of which have already been fixed. Furthermore,
Fortran ABI has changed in GCC 7. Anyway, there's nothing that particularly
worries me (except perhaps the -fprintf-return-value stuff that might still
cause some wrong codes).
Shortlog appended for the people who want to get an overview of the details.
As usual, there will be a "porting to" document to ease the transition to the
new GCC. We already have https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/porting_to.html, even though
this document is still somewhat in flux.
I'd like to thank Jakub Jelinek and Jonathan Wakely, the guys I roped in to help
me with all this undertaking.

Several C++ Standard Library headers have been changed to no longer
include the <functional> header. As such, C++ programs that used components
defined in <functional> without explicitly including that header will no
longer compile.
Previously components such as std::bind and std::function were implicitly
defined after including unrelated headers such as <memory>, <futex>, <mutex>,
and <regex>. Correct code should #include <functional> to define them.

'fedpkg build' hang issue
by Ravindra Kumar
Hi,
I've been trying to run 'fedpkg build' command on rawhide and it keeps hanging.
I came across https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1207178 and I have regenerated my cert multiple times already but no luck.
I have deleted ~/.fedora and ~/.fedora*. I re-ran fedora-packager-setup and fedora-cert commands.
When I ran 'fedpkg -v build', it gets stuck at "Initiating a koji session to http://koji.fedoraproject.org/kojihub" for quite some time and then prints an exception backtrace.

LLVM compatibility hazard on F24/F25
by Josh Stone
re https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1422930
This is an indirect consequence of the LLVM update for bug 1376213. In
the initial llvm-3.8.1-1 update, ajax enabled the Mips target, but this
was never pushed out due to unrelated build issues. Then later I found
I needed an LLVM update for s390x, so I fixed those issues too and
pushed out llvm-3.8.1-2.
Rust detects the available targets when rustc is built, and this is its
first update using llvm-3.8.1-2, so now it has picked up the Mips target
and uses Mips-related symbols. But this is a compatibility hazard, and
there's no sort of symbol versioning on these per-target symbols.
I think I can fix the rust dependency with a manual entry:
Requires: llvm-libs%{?_isa} >= 3.8.1-2
But is that the best we can do at this point? Any other options?

Bodhi issue
by Steve Grubb
Hello,
Yesterday I built a security update for the suricata package, 3.2.1-1:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=10021
Any time I try to create the bodhi new release, it finds an older build, 3.2-1.
Typing the version in causes it to say it can't find any package that matches
the query. How should I go about getting this security update out?
Thanks,
-Steve

introduction email from Dan Naughton
by Dan Naughton
Hello Fedora devel list.
I am interested in becoming the package maintainer for the linux Control and Measurement Device interface (comedi) libraries. One is a kernel space library (comedi) and the other is a user space library (comedilib). The are used for data acquisition from linux. Information on the code is available at comedi.org. The srpms are currently working, and I'm trying to navigate this project to get the code posted up. There are many steps :) one step was to introduce myself. Please contact me if this is of interest to you. I'm always looking for people to help test it. Thanks - Dan

Self Introduction: Nemanja Milosevic (nmilosev)
by Nemanja Milosevic
Hello everyone!
My name is Nemanja and I would like to join the development team. My wiki page is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Nmilosev
To keep it short: I'm currently a PhD Computer Science student, and I've been involved with Fedora for over a year now (all the details are in the wiki). I have a strong background in Java, and more recently C# but am also playing with Python every chance I have. For Fedora (the development side) I did package some packages in the COPR, but mostly I wrote a lot of technical tutorials on my blog. I also forked Crouton (chroot for Chromebooks) to make a Fedora-compatible version (https://github.com/nmilosev/crouton-fedora) which is used by a fair amount of people. I also developed anyfed and Termux-Fedora both chroot utilities to run Fedora on any chroot/proot compatible device (including non-rooted Android phones). I also try to keep and maintain the instructions on how to run Fedora on Intel Baytrail tablets here: https://nmilosev.svbtle.com/fedora-on-baytrail-tablets-2017-edition. All the other links are on my wiki. :)
I would like to further help develop, package and maintain Fedora. As a result I am trying to package my first package (CLI tool called yank) here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1422714 and looking for a packaging sponsor.
Please let me know if there is something I need to do, and I hope I can help keep Fedora brilliant as it is today. :)
Cheers,
Nemanja
