F30 Self-Contained Change proposal: Fish 3.0
by Ben Cotton 28 Jan '19

28 Jan '19

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Fish_3.0 == Summary == Update [https://fishshell.com/ Fish] to 3.0. == Owner == * Name: [[User:ignatenkobrain|Igor Gnatenko]] * Email: ignatenkobrain(a)fedoraproject.org == Detailed Description == Not only update it in F30 but also provide new version as opt-in for F28 and F29. == Benefit to Fedora == The new version of Fish has quite some number of bugfixes, features and performance improvements. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Put fish 3.0 into a module (that means it will be available for F28 and F29) and mark it as default in Rawhide. * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8077 #8077] * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) == Upgrade/compatibility impact == * Process and job expansion has largely been removed. <code>%</code> will no longer perform these expansions, except for <code>%self</code> for the PID of the current shell. Additionally, job management commands (<code>disown</code>, <code>wait</code>, <code>bg</code>, <code>fg</code> and <code>kill</code>) will expand job specifiers starting with <code>%</code> ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4230 #4230], [https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1202 #1202]). * <code>set x[1] x[2] a b</code>, to set multiple elements of an array at once, is no longer valid syntax ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4236 #4236]). * A literal <code>{}</code> now expands to itself, rather than nothing. This makes working with <code>find -exec</code> easier ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1109 #1109], [https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4632 #4632]). * Literally accessing a zero-index is now illegal syntax and is caught by the parser ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4862 #4862]). (fish indices start at 1) * Successive commas in brace expansions are handled in less surprising manner. For example, <code>{,,,}</code> expands to four empty strings rather than an empty string, a comma and an empty string again ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/3002 #3002], [https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4632 #4632]). * <code>for</code> loop control variables are no longer local to the <code>for</code> block ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1935 #1935]). * Variables set in <code>if</code> and <code>while</code> conditions are available outside the block ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4820 #4820]). * Local exported (<code>set -lx</code>) vars are now visible to functions ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1091 #1091]). * The new <code>math</code> builtin (see below) does not support logical expressions; <code>test</code> should be used instead ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4777 #4777]). * Range expansion will now behave sensibly when given a single positive and negative index (<code>$foo[5..-1]</code> or <code>$foo[-1..5]</code>), clamping to the last valid index without changing direction if the list has fewer elements than expected. * <code>read</code> now uses <code>-s</code> as short for <code>--silent</code> (à la <code>bash</code>); <code>--shell</code>'s abbreviation (formerly <code>-s</code>) is now <code>-S</code> instead ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4490 #4490]). * <code>cd</code> no longer resolves symlinks. fish now maintains a virtual path, matching other shells ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/3350 #3350]). * <code>source</code> now requires an explicit <code>-</code> as the filename to read from the terminal ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/2633 #2633]). * Arguments to <code>end</code> are now errors, instead of being silently ignored. * The names <code>argparse</code>, <code>read</code>, <code>set</code>, <code>status</code>, <code>test</code> and <code>[</code> are now reserved and not allowed as function names. This prevents users unintentionally breaking stuff ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/3000 #3000]). * The <code>fish_user_abbreviations</code> variable is no longer used; abbreviations will be migrated to the new storage format automatically. * The <code>FISH_READ_BYTE_LIMIT</code> variable is now called <code>fish_byte_limit</code> ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4414 #4414]). * Environment variables are no longer split into arrays based on the record separator character on startup. Instead, variables are not split, unless their name ends in PATH, in which case they are split on colons ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/436 #436]). * The <code>history</code> builtin's <code>--with-time</code> option has been removed; this has been deprecated in favor of <code>--show-time</code> since 2.7.0 ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4403 #4403]). * The internal variables <code>__fish_datadir</code> and <code>__fish_sysconfdir</code> are now known as <code>__fish_data_dir</code> and <code>__fish_sysconf_dir</code> respectively. == How To Test == 0. Make sure to have modular repositories enabled 1. Run dnf module install fish:3 2. Try out normal workload in fish == User Experience == * fish now supports <code>&&</code> (like <code>and</code>), <code>||</code> (like <code>or</code>), and <code>!</code> (like <code>not</code>), for better migration from POSIX-compliant shells ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4620 #4620]). * fish may be started in private mode via <code>fish --private</code>. Private mode fish sessions do not have access to the history file and any commands evaluated in private mode are not persisted for future sessions. A session variable <code>$fish_private_mode</code> can be queried to detect private mode and adjust the behavior of scripts accordingly to respect the user's wish for privacy. * A new <code>wait</code> command for waiting on backgrounded processes ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4498 #4498]). * <code>alias</code> has a new <code>--save</code> option to save the generated function immediately ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4878 #4878]). * <code>funced</code> has a new <code>--save</code> option to automatically save the edited function after successfully editing ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4668 #4668]). * <code>history search</code> supports globs for wildcard searching ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/3136 #3136]) and has a new <code>--reverse</code> option to show entries from oldest to newest ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4375 #4375]). * <code>set</code> has new <code>--append</code> and <code>--prepend</code> options ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1326 #1326]). * <code>set</code> has a new <code>--show</code> option to show lots of information about variables ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4265 #4265]). * <code>string match</code> with an empty pattern and <code>--entire</code> in glob mode now matches everything instead of nothing ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4971 #4971]). * <code>string split</code> supports a new <code>--no-empty</code> option to exclude empty strings from the result ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4779 #4779]). * <code>string</code> has new subcommands <code>split0</code> and <code>join0</code> for working with NUL-delimited output. * <code>string</code> no longer stops processing text after NUL characters ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4605 #4605]) * <code>string escape</code> has a new <code>--style regex</code> option for escaping strings to be matched literally in <code>string</code> regex operations. * <code>test</code> now supports floating point values in numeric comparisons. * Pressing Ctrl-C while running a script now reliably terminates fish ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/5253 #5253]). See https://fishshell.com/release_notes.html for more. == Dependencies == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: (What to do? Who will do it?)

by Ben Cotton 28 Jan '19

28 Jan '19

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_8.4 == Summary == Update the ghc Haskell compiler version from 8.2.2 to 8.4.4 and Haskell packages to Stackage LTS 12 versions. == Owner == * Name: [[User:Petersen| Jens Petersen]] * Email: <petersen(a)redhat.com> * Name: [[Haskell_SIG]] * Email: <haskell(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> == Detailed Description == The Fedora Haskell packages will be updated to [https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.4.4/docs/html/users_guide/8.4.4-notes.… ghc-8.4.4] and [https://www.stackage.org/lts-12 Stackage LTS 12] versions. == Benefit to Fedora == This updates Fedora to the latest stable release of GHC 8.4, with a focus on performance, stability, consolidation, and numerous cleanups throughout the compiler: * Further refinement of TypeInType, including significant improvements in error messages. * Improvements in code generation resulting in noticable performance improvements in some types of programs. * Core library improvements, including phase 2 of the Semigroup/Monoid proposal * Many improvements to instance deriving * The resolution of nearly 300 other tickets for the 8.4.1 major release, and further bugfixes in the subsequent stable minor version releases == Scope == * Proposal owners: ** Request f30-ghc Koji sidetag for building ([https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8014 done]) ** Update the ghc master branch to version 8.4.4 (rebasing to version from the ghc:8.4 module stream) ** Update Haskell packages to Stackage LTS 12 versions using `cabal-rpm update` ** Rebuild all packages in `rpmbuild-order` locally ** Some old unused libraries no longer in Stackage may be retired from Rawhide at this time. ** If time permits there may be some packaging changes: to add back doc subpackages and use explicit files list in .spec files ** Build everything in the Koji f30-ghc sidetag in `rpmbuild-order` ** Request releng to move all the rebuilt packages into Rawhide ** Add Obsoletes needed for any deprecated packages * Other developers: all required packages will be rebuilt by the Haskell SIG, though we are open to support from any of the few packagers outside the SIG * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8014 issue #8014] ** List of deliverables: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) == Upgrade/compatibility impact == Users will need to recompile their Haskell code with the new version of ghc and libraries. == How To Test == * `dnf install ghc-*-devel` * `dnf install cabal-install pandoc ShellCheck` * `cabal update && cabal install some-pkg` * `ghci` * `dnf update ghc-*-devel` == User Experience == Users will have the latest really stable Haskell package releases available to them through the official Fedora repo. (Note the latest Stackage LTS 13 release is actually with the newer ghc-8.6 major version but it has some issues including not building on s390x yet and less packages and maturity, so we are deliberately not jumping a major release for this change.) == Dependencies == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: (What to do? Who will do it?): Proposal owner will revert git master branches to the mass rebuilt F29 versions package set * Contingency deadline: Before branching of F30 * Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Blocks product? N/A == Documentation == * https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/blog/ghc-8.4.1-released * https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/blog/ghc-8.4.2-released * https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/blog/ghc-8.4.3-released * https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/blog/ghc-8.4.4-released -- Ben Cotton Fedora Program Manager TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis

F30 Self-Contained Change proposal: LXQt 0.14.0
by Ben Cotton 28 Jan '19

28 Jan '19

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/LXQt_0.14.0 == Summary == Update LXQt to 0.14.0 in Fedora. == Owner == * Name: [[User:Zsun|Zamir SUN]] * Email: zsun#AT#fedoraproject.org  == Detailed Description == LXQt just released with a bunch of bugfixes. It's always good to keep Fedora users running on most recent software. Detailed LXQt release note is available [https://lxqt.org/release/2019/01/25/lxqt-0140/ here]. == Benefit to Fedora == This change brings bug fixes and enhancements to LXQt in Fedora. == Scope == * Proposal owners: 1. Update all the LXQt related packages in Fedora. 2. Drop lxqt-l10n from Fedora 30 which is obsoleted since LXQt 0.14.0 3. Fix comps and/or kickstart if needed. * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8076 #8076] (a check of an impact with Release Engineering is needed) ** List of deliverables: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) == User Experience == Users shouldn't feel any difference rather than bug fixes and new features. == Dependencies == The package libqtxdg will be updated. Only Deepin related packages depends on this. In theory the Deepin change owner will need to be reminded. In reality I am also the DeepinDE change owner, so there aren't any risk for this aspect. == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Not announcing the update. * Contingency deadline: Fedora 30 Beta Freeze * Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Blocks product? N/A == Documentation == N/A (not a System Wide Change) -- Ben Cotton Fedora Program Manager TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis
