F26 System Wide Change: GCC7
by Jan Kurik
= System Wide Change: GCC7 =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GCC7
Change owner(s):
* Jakub Jelínek <jakub AT redhat DOT com>
Switch GCC in Fedora 26 to 7.x.y, rebuild all packages with it, or
optionally rebuild just some packages with it and rebuild all packages
only in Fedora 27.
== Detailed Description ==
GCC 7 is currently in stage3, will move to stage4 on January 19th, in
prerelease state with only regression bugfixes and documentation fixes
allowed. The release will happen probably in the middle of April. We
are working on scratch gcc rpms and will perform a test mass rebuild.
== Scope ==
All packages should be rebuilt with the new gcc once it hits f26, or,
if there is not enough time for that, just all packages built after
the new gcc hits the buildroots.
* Proposal owners:
Build gcc in f26, rebuild packages that have direct dependencies on
exact gcc version (libtool, llvm, gcc-python-plugin, odb).
* Other developers:
First few days/weeks just voluntary rebuilds using the new system gcc,
if things fail, look at http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/porting_to.html and
fix bugs in packages or, if there is a gcc bug or suspected gcc bug,
analyze and report.
* Release engineering:
Organize a mass rebuild, either in f26 or in f27
* Policies and guidelines:
No policies need to be changed

New list for ResultsDB users
by Adam Williamson
Hi folks! So I've been floating an idea around recently to people who
are currently using ResultsDB in some sense - either sending reports to
it, or consuming reports from it - or plan to do so. The idea was to
have a group where we can discuss (and hopefully co-ordinate) use of
ResultsDB - a place to talk about result metadata conventions and so
forth.
It seemed to get a bit of traction, so I've created a new mailing list:
resultsdb-users . If you're interested, please do subscribe, through
the web interface:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/resultsdb-users.lists.fedorap...
or by sending a mail with 'subscribe' in the subject to:
resultsdb-users-join(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
Please note: despite the list being a fedoraproject one, the intent is
to co-ordinate with folks from CentOS, Red Hat and maybe even further
afield as well; we're just using an fp.o list as it's a quick
convenient way to get a nice mailman3/hyperkitty list without having to
go set up a list server on taskotron.org or something.
Thanks folks!

What if you only want to package part of upstream?
by Randy Barlow
Hello!
In working on packaging Ampache, I found a dependency that has a
bundled version of this file:
https://github.com/kazuhikoarase/qrcode-generator/blob/master/js/qrcode.js
I started working on doing the right thing and packaging that file
separately, but it seems that the repository also has qrcode
implementations for ActionScript, Java, PHP, and more. That's a lot of
work for me just to get that one js file packaged, and I don't have
anything that depends on those other implementations at this time.
Is it ok to just name my source package js-qrcode-generator and package
just the js bits of it, or do I need to name my package qrcode-
generator? If the latter, would I be compelled to package all those
language implementations as subpackages, or could I package just the JS
one for now and wait to see if anyone files an issue to request the
other languages in the future? I'm not very familiar with the packaging
guidelines for all of those languages, so it would be tricky to get it
right for all of them.

hardlink building issue in F26 armv7hl and i686
by Francisco J. Tsao Santin
Hi all,
We have a problem with the hardlink package. The koji build made by Fedora
Release Engineering failed in armv7hl and i686 architectures. I saw the logs
and I tried a mock build in my own machine too, the problem is always the same:
+ gcc -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4
-grecord-gcc-switches -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -m32 -march=i686 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables hardlink.c -o hardlink
/tmp/cc1xWk9j.o: In function `rf':
/builddir/build/BUILD/hardlink-1.1/hardlink.c:257: undefined reference to `stcmp'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Of course, stcmp is declared. It's very weird, because the other architectures
don't have the issue, nor f25 builds.
Any idea about what can be happening?

! GSoC Ideas
by Brian Exelbierd
Hi All,
As you may know we have successfully submitted a Google Summer of Code
application this year. While we won't know until 27 February if we are
accepted, we still have work to do!
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_ideas_for_2017
This page needs some ideas. A good idea includes:
- project title
- a few sentences about the project
- required/recommended skills
- mentors
Google has specifically contacted us and asked us to add more ideas so
they can better gauge our desire to be selected for the program. They
are going to review our page again on Friday 17 at 9am PST.
If you've been holding back on proposing ideas for students, now is the
time to free your mind and get your ideas on the wiki.
A note about mentors, they can change later, however, Google wants to
see you have more than 2 people willing to be mentors in the program and
ideally for each proposal.
Thank you for your assistance.
Please reply to summer-coding(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
regards,
bex
