Intel's Clear Linux optimizations
by František Zatloukal
Hi,
Phoronix recently release article[1] about Intel's Clear Linux with some
cool graphs showing nice performance gain compared to Xubuntu.
I didn't have time to dig in and look how it's performing against Fedora,
but I'd assume Fedora can be compared to Xubuntu in terms of compiler
settings.
I think i'll be interesting to look into it and find out if Fedora can't
tweak compiler settings (eg use LTO for critical things like Mesa, Kernel,
...). I think it could be interesting fo Fedora users to have this enabled
if there are not any disadvantages other than compile time, compile memory
usage and so on.
What do you think?

Rstudio
by Steve Grubb
Hello,
I like to have everything on my system in a package. So, I looked around and
found no recipe or rpm for Rstudio. This is really a shame because every
tutorial on R kinda tells you to install it. Even the Coursera classes in the
Data Science track make you install it and send a screenshot to prove it.
So, I spent some time getting it packaged and working. I am placing the spec
file and necessary patch here so that google finds it and saves other people the
trouble. I'm not wanting to submit the package to Fedora because its more work
than I have time for. If anyone else wants to take it from here and submit
and/or maintain it, feel free.

Using devtoolset for EPEL builds
by Zuzana Svetlikova
Hi,
I need/want/would like to build new node 6 for EL6, but gcc is too old.
For that reason, I'd like to use devtoolset-4-gcc, but the build fails
(obviously) because the package doesn't exist.
So, is there a way to make that work somehow?
I am not sure about enabling external repos during build, maybe someone
will be wiser.
Here's the build:

apitrace, bundled libbacktrace
by Sandro Mani
Hi,
apitrace 5.0 bundles libbacktrace, which looks like is living within the
gcc sources. libbacktrace is not build as a shared library from the gcc
sources, and not packaged.
Is it feasible to build libbacktrace as a shared library and ship it in
a corresponding package? Or should I rather go for a bundling exception
request?
Thanks,
Sandro

PkgDB and the ArbitraryBranching Change
by Ralph Bean
Hello,
As part of the Factory 2.0 and Modularity efforts[1], we’ve been
developing a plan to migrate to an “arbitrary” branching model from
our current model of one branch per release (as had been discussed at
Flock and DevConf[2]).
The main motivation behind this is to enable functionality required by
Modularity[3] and to ultimately reduce some package maintenance
burden. For some packages, it makes sense to have only a single branch
that feeds into multiple releases. For other packages, it makes sense
to have multiple branches which correlate with multiple upstream minor
releases. Today, our source branches are tied to the distro release,
via PkgDB. We want to decouple that and use modules to put it all
back together again.
To make this happen requires significant infrastructure changes. Our
proposed plan[4] is to decommission PkgDB entirely and to replace it
with a combination of PDC[5] and pagure over dist-git. (Tangentially,
getting pagure over dist-git to play nicely with PkgDB was a
challenge. This route gets us to a pull-request interface for spec
files quicker.)
We have brought this Change to FESCo[6][7][8] who expressed general
agreement on the project but also concern that the community may be
caught by off guard by the removal of PkgDB. As part of this change,
we have proposed a timeline[9] that outlines the steps we plan to take
to actually proceed with the migration. Please review that if you have
time and provide feedback. We are most concerned with missing
scripts/tools that may rely on PkgDB’s API. If you can think of any
that we may have overlooked, please let us know and we will add it to
the timeline!
We are meeting again with FESCo next Friday, June 2nd, where a
decision will be made on the Change. Any feedback before that would be
greatly appreciated.
Ralph and Matt,
From the so-called Factory 2.0 team
