Announcing new anitya integration and de-orphaning process
by Pierre-Yves Chibon
Good Morning Everyone,
Tomorrow we are planning on deploying a new version of pagure and
pagure-dist-git on production.
These changes come with two changes to the packager workflow:
* Anitya integration in dist-git
Something we lost when loosing pkgdb was the easy integration to anitya
(https://release-monitoring.org). With the coming changes we are getting them
back.
On the left hand-side column, there will be a drop-down button allowing to
change the settings for anitya for the project.
Existing status will be migrated from the fedora-scm-requests repo on pagure to
use this drop-down.
Using the fedora-scm-requests repo for the anitya integration will no longer be
supported.
* Change in the de-orphaning process
Currently if a package is orphaned, one has to open a ticket against the releng
project to adopt it. With these changes, anyone will be able to adopt orphaned
projects (not retired on master) directly from dist-git's UI.
If the project is retired or has been orphaned for too long, a ticket on the
releng project will still be required though.
Both of these changes can already be reviewed in staging at:
https://src.stg.fedoraproject.org
Looking forward for your feedback!
Pierre

Orphaning owncloud and nextcloud
by James Hogarth
Hi all,
It's become clear that I haven't had the time I thought I'd have this past
year due to $life ...
These are in a bit of a broken state and right now I'd advise people that
need them to use upstream packages/containers.
I don't foresee sufficient time coming in the near future with family needs
in advance of hobbies like Fedora of course.
I'll give it a week or so for anyone to contact me who wants to pick them
up, otherwise I'll update pagure to assign them to "orphan"

Fonts packaging policy rewrite proposal
by Nicolas Mailhot
Hi,
A fonts packaging policy rewrite proposal has been pushed to FPC today:
https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/pull-request/934
It should be clearer, more opinionated, and take into account:
– updates of The OpenType standard
– variable fonts
– web fonts
– upstream depreciation of non OpenType formats: final stages of the
Harfbuzz consolidation decided at the 2006 Text Layout summit
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/TextLayout/
– appstream & fonts
– weak dependencies
– and probably more I forget here
It is based on the new fonts-rpm-macros project for automation:
This project builds on tooling enhancements in redhat-rpm-config and rpm
itself, done during the past two years for the Forge and Go sets of
packaging macros. It started 2 years ago as a fork of fontpackages,
which is the core of our current fonts packaging guidelines.
It will require putting the fonts-srpm-macros package in the default
build root, like is done for other domain-specific packaging macro
sets.
Major additions:
– better documentation (clearer and more complete)
– better automation (less packager hassle for better and more complete
results)
Major removals:
– tools and scripts
– fixing metadata with ttname
Mostly because no one seems willing to maintain those scripts, or port
ttname to python 3.
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nim/fonts-rpm-macros/builds/
showcases the new policy on 62 real-world source packages, generating
139 installation packages. Some of those are badly delayed updates to
Fedora packages, others are brand-new packages ready for Fedora
inclusion. They include major font packages such as Stix, DejaVu, Droid,
IBM Plex.
Existing Fedora packages will continue to build, the old fontpackages
macros are grandfathered in fonts-rpm-macros for now. They will be
removed in a few years to give packagers time to apply the new
guidelines.
Regards,

fedora-gpg-keys not updated yet again
by Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
This seems to repeat every 6 months: rawhide mock is broken on stable
Fedora, people are scrambling to install the right gpg keys, dnf reports
unsigned packages.
Looking at https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=fedora-repos,
there is still no F30 package with the right keys.
Can we *please* send out the FN+1 and FN+2 keys a month before branching,
to *all* releases of Fedora, so we can avoid this pointless scramble?

Please, IMHO, resolve in some way the Samba MIT kerberos problem.
by Dario Lesca
Too many people (like also me) try to use samba-dc on fedora for deploy
a production AD DC controller, without know that MIT kerberos is
experimental and some useful things cannot work (es. win to win
access).
An recent last example:

There is many approach for resolve this issue:
a) Stop use MIT kerberos and rebuild samba with Heimdal Kerberos.
b) Produce a samba alternative package version (like, for example,
firefox-x11) build it with Heimdal Kerberos (es samba-hk-*)
c) Stop enable DC on Fedora, like RH/Centos do.
d) Notify users at the end of the installation that Fedora Samba DC is
experimental.
e) Solve the problems that make MIT kerberos experimental and put us in
a position to ask for help on the samba team.
f) ... some other proposal ?
What is the best approach chosen by Fedora ?
Many thanks

If you have oVirt windows guest tools already installed suggestion is to

Fedora Packager Dashboard mockups
by Miro Hrončok
Hello devel,
I got nerdslipped and I ahve created some HTML only mockup of a thing that I
find very useful. A Fedora Packager Dashboard.
You can find the early mockup at:
https://hroncok.cz/packager-dashboard-mockup/
The idea is to collect some data about your packages and present them in some
nice form. Such data would be gathered by plugins. Examples on the mockup:
- active updates
- active buildroot overrides
- open PRs
- orphaned or broken depnddencies
- bugzillas
- FTBFS (from koschei)
Ideas not included in the mockup:
- running Koji builds
Let me know what you think. I can work on this on the backend level (plugin
architecture design, gathering data, cache...) but even copy pasting HTML from
Bodhi to present the mockup was very painful for me, so if we want this,
somebody with more fronted experience would need to help.
