Ditch RPM in favor of DPKG
by Dridi Boukelmoune
Greetings packagers,
I know how important RPM is to the Fedora Project, but it breaks
everything downstream and we'd be better off using DPKG as we should
have from day one.
I'm calling this initiative fedpkg: Fedora Embraces DPKG.
A bit of background here: I build both RPMs and DEBs for $DAYJOB and
until recently my workflow was quite painful because I needed extra steps
between git checkout and git push that involves a VM, because what we
ship as apt is in reality apt-rpm.
It finally got enough on my nerves to locally build the things I needed and
after a month I have already amortized my efforts with the time I save not
having to deal with needless extra hoops.
In order to successfully build debs on Fedora I needed 4 packages that
I'm now submitting for review:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=gnu-config
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=strip-nondeterminism
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=sbuild
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=apt
I need more than reviews here.
Three of those packages are heavy on Perl code, and I'm not a Perl
Monk. I tried to CC perl-sig as per the guidelines [1] (also tried with
the mailing list address) but bugzilla replied kindly:
CC: perl-sig did not match anything
Apt is a mix of C, Perl and C++ code, so I would be reassured if I
could have a C++ co-maintainer too. I'm only a C developer so if
something goes wrong outside of the C realm that would be helpful.
Two of those packages should be runtime dependencies of debhelper.
The current apt package should be renamed to apt-rpm, I will look up
the procedure for that to happen. I understand that when someone sees
they should run "apt-get install foo" somewhere on the web it's
helpful for non-savvy users that this JustWorks(tm) [2], but apt-rpm is
dead upstream and it shouldn't be advertised as apt.
I hope I CC'd everyone that should get this heads up, and hope to find
help for the reviews and co-maintainership. The packaging does nothing
fancy, there are quirks here and there but overall it was rather easy
to put together. And of course I would be happy to help with reviews
too in exchange.
And thanks again to the mock developers, its design is so much better
than either sbuild or pdebuild that I barely have pain points left when it
comes to RPM packaging.
Thanks,
Dridi

Autoclosure of review requests?
by Ben Cotton
In the weekly Fedora program update that I publish on
communityblog.fedoraproject.org, I have started to include a count of the
open package review requests. As of this moment, there are ~1300 open
review requests. Some of these were opened in 2006.
The usual Bugzilla housekeeping (branching, EOL closure, etc) explicitly
excludes review request bugs. Having a large number of open, ancient review
requests isn't exactly harmful, but it's not very helpful either.
Before I make a proposal to FPC, I thought I'd open a conversation here.
What does a reasonable cleanup of review requests look like?
My initial thought is to close all review requests that were opened >2
years ago, to be performed at the EOL closure for each release.

Default editor for LXQt spin
by Raphael Groner
Hi,
writing to general devel list intentionally. No idea if all members of lxqt-sig list can read here, too and especially @zsun.
Is there any sense why @lxqt-sig is member of packaging for featherpad? LXQt SIG decided to have enki in the spin as the default editor. Featherpad is not part of LXQt upstream.
@lupinix Could you remove lxqt-sig from the members in pagure?

dropping NSS DBM format support in F33+
by Daiki Ueno
Hello,
I am not sure if this deserves a Fedora Change proposal, so I'd like to
hear any opinions first before proceeding with the process.
NSS (the crypto library used by Firefox) historically supports 2
database formats: SQLite and DBM. The latter is considered legacy and
we switched the default database format to SQLite in F28[1]. Since then
I presume most of the applications have switched to the new format.
Therefore we are planning to phase out the support of DBM, targetting
F33+.
Please let me know if there is any concern.

swap-on-ZRAM by default
by Chris Murphy
Question and (pre)proposal:
Can Fedora converge on a single swap-on-ZRAM implementation, and if
so, which one? Fedora Workstation WG wants to move to swap-on-ZRAM by
default in Fedora 33, and the working group needs to pick something
soon.
I think it should be zram-generator. It's the most lightweight, can be
included by default distro wide. Without a configuration file, it
doesn't run. Thus, each edition/spin, and even the install
environment, can have their own configuration file, to setup it up
however they want, or not set it up.
I also suspect it's the only one that could be upstreamed to systemd
proper, and just included like many other generators.
Background story and references:
Fedora IoT enables swap-on-ZRAM by default for a long time, and have
no issues. Fedora Workstation WG has been evaluating it for some time,
and wants to enable it by default in Fedora 33. Prior discussions [1]
(Details will be in a future feature proposal.)
Swap is a basic function, and swap-on-ZRAM is an optimization of a
basic function. Basic things should be understandable by users,
without having different configuration files, and systemd units to
look for, depending on what edition/spin they use, or whether they're
booting installation media, or an installed system. It's confusing.
And they don't co-exist gracefully.
There are three implementations in Fedora [2]. Installation media
(DVD, netinstall, Live) use Anaconda's when the install media is
booted; Live installations include it, but it's disabled. Fedora IoT
has its own variant enabled by default, similar in design and function
to Anaconda's, but differently named systemd unit, configuration file,
and bash scripts used by the systemd unit. There's nothing wrong with
these, but in my estimation they have no chance of being upstreamed to
systemd proper.
And there's zram-generator. It works much like any other of the basic
generators for this sort of thing: the gpt-auto-generator, the
fstab-generator, and the cryptsetup-generator. I'm not sure who would
argue we need multiple implementations of these things, with separate
configuration files, in the same distribution.

Fedora 33 System-Wide Change proposal: Sqlite RpmDB
by Ben Cotton
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Sqlite_Rpmdb
== Summary ==
Change format of the RPM database from Berkeley DB to a new Sqlite format.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:pmatilai| Panu Matilainen]] [[User:ffesti|Florian Festi]]
* Email: pmatilai(a)redhat.com ffesti(a)redhat.com
== Detailed Description ==
The current rpm database implementation is based on Berkeley DB 5.x, a
version which is unmaintained upstream for several years now. Berkeley
DB 6.x is license incompatible so moving to that is not an option. In
addition, the existing rpmdb implementation is notoriously unreliable
as it's not transactional and has no other means to detect
inconsistencies either.
Changing to a more sustainable database implementation is long
overdue. We propose to change the default rpmdb format to the new
sqlite based implementation. Support for current BDB format will be
retained in Fedora 33, and phased out to read-only support in Fedora
34.
== Benefit to Fedora ==
* A far more robust rpm database implementation
* Getting rid of Berkeley DB dependency in one of the core components
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
** Once [[Changes/RPM-4.16|RPM 4.16]] lands and passes initial
shakedown, change the default rpmdb configuration to sqlite
** Address any bugs and issues in the database backend found by wider
testing base
** Help other developers to address Berkeley DB dependencies
* Other developers:
** Test for hidden Berkeley DB dependencies in other software, address
them as found and needed
* Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/9308 #9308]
* Policies and guidelines: Policies and guidelines are not affected
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
=== Upgrading ===
* Ability to upgrade is not affected
* After upgrade completes, manual action (rpmdb --rebuilddb) will
probably be needed to convert to sqlite. Alternatively user can change
configuration to stay on BDB.
=== Compatibility ===
* Container/chroot use-cases will be affected: older rpm versions will
be unable to query/manipulate the rpmdb from outside the chroot
* Koji/COPR may need to override the database format (back to) BDB for
the time being
== How To Test ==
* Rpmdb gets thoroughly exercised as a matter of normal system
operation, performing installs, updates, package builds etc
* Of specific interest here is torture testing: forcibly killing rpm
in various stages of execution - database should stay consistent and
operational (other system state is out of scope)
* Test database conversions from one backend to another (rpmdb
--rebuilddb --define "_db_backend <backend>")
== User Experience ==
* In normal operation, users should see little or no change
* Behavior in error situations is much more robust: forcibly killed
transaction no longer causes database inconsistency or corruption
== Dependencies ==
* This change depends on [[Changes/RPM-4.16|RPM 4.16]], support for
sqlite rpmdb is not present in older versions
* RPM will grow a new dependency on sqlite-libs
* Technically the rpmdb format is an internal implementation detail of
RPM and the data is only accessible through the librpm API, but some
software is making assumptions both about the format and/or in
particular, file naming. These are being tracked at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1766120
* Upgrade tooling could/should perform rpmdb rebuild at end, this
would be a good thing to do regardless of this change
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism:
** Revert the default database back to Berkeley DB backend in the
package. Running 'rpmdb --rebuilddb' on hosts is currently required to
actually convert the database, but means to automate conversion in
specific conditions is being discussed upstream.
** The rpm-team does not expect problems with the database backend
itself, but we are aware that postponing may be needed due to
infrastructure or other tooling not being ready, primarily due to
inability to access the database from older releases.
* Contingency deadline: Beta freeze
* Blocks release? Yes
== Documentation ==
* [https://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.16.0 | RPM 4.16 release notes]
== Release Notes ==
* After upgrading from an older release, rpm operations will issue
warnings about database backend configuration not matching what's on
disk. Users should run 'rpmdb --rebuilddb' at earliest opportunity, or
change configuration to stay on Berkeley DB backend (eg 'echo
%_db_backend bdb > /etc/rpm/macros.db')
* The details are subject to change, the database rebuild may be done
by upgrade tooling

F33 system wide change, java-11-openjdk as system jdk
by Jiri Vanek
Hello fellow java package maintainers!
We are planning to bump the JDK from java-1.8.0-openjdk to java-11-openjdk for F33. Please see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Java11
Short Story:
* if you have some java package, be aware that we are bumping JDK in rawhide
* Ensure your package builds and runs fine with JDK11 (see the
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jvanek/java11/builds/)
* there is special tooling ready for this, before mass rebuild is launched
** See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Java11#copr_preliminary_rebuild
* If you do not want Fedora rotten with JDK8 for ever, continue reading
Long Story:
We ran a preliminary mass rebuild of javastack in copr repo
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jvanek/java11/builds/ (select "all" instead of "25" at the
bottom), on packages requiring java,javac, java-devel, maven-local, ant, ivy & comp for build. You
can see, the result was quite dramatic:
1225 total; attempted to rebuild
483 failed; from those 191 are trivial failures (but if you fix it, there is no guarantee real
troubles are not hidden behind that)
186 succeeded
556 orphans or dead or otherwise tragic so the build did not even start
I would kindly ask you to search yourself in this list: https://jvanek.fedorapeople.org/java11/people
If you are here, please check status of your package in https://jvanek.fedorapeople.org/java11/init
(pain text of https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jvanek/java11/builds).
* If your package is "succeeded", congratulations nothing to do, and just keep en eye on JDK bump
* If there is "failed" but contains "- -" then it is probably orphan. If you wish to resurrect it,
please ensure it runs against JDK11 (see lower)
* If there is "failed" but failed in "seconds", then those packages failed so quickly, that the
build was in initial phases. That usually mean that you build with source/target lower then 1.6
JDK11 supports 1.6 and up. We recommend to bump the source/target to 1.8, to allow existence of
compact 1.8 packages alongside main javastack. See
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Java11#Wrong_source.2Ftarget_version. Don't forget to
upstream the patch, or maybe it is enough to update to more fresh upstream release which supports
JDK11? it may happen, that after the fix, your build will fail in more terrible way (see below)
* If there is "failed", and its none of above, then your package simply failed. Very often the
scary error may be fixed by bump to latest upstream version. JDK 11 is out for several years.
Please, try to fix the package. Don't hesitate to ask on devel(a)fedoraproject.org or
java-devel(a)fedoraproject.org or directly to me jvanek(a)redhat.com. If you fix the fail, feel free to
share your fix, it may help others.
We are trying to gather the most common issues at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Java11#common_issues_packagers_can... .
Feel free to enhance the page, or write us your case (possibly both with solution and without) so
we can add it here.
Debugging Your failures.
The copr repo we maintain, contains builds of java-11-openjdk as system JDK, javapackages-tools
honoring that, and java-1.8.0-openjdk as non system JDK. Also it contains successfully rebuilt
packages. You can directly use this copr repo in several ways.
* first glance on error. On https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jvanek/java11/builds/ find your
build (select "all" instead of "25" at the bottom),
** Click its number, select chroot (currently fedora-32-x86_64 ) and check the logs. Main log is
build.log.gz.
* anything you push to rawhide, will automatically rebuild here in f32 chroot (we have a JDK in
rawhide broken a bit currently)
** It is the best approach. If you can fix your package in rawhide directly, without breaking the
rawhide too much, go for it
** If yo need to experiment, I have a mock config for you (generated from copr-cli mock-config
jvanek/java11 fedora-32-x86_64) which you can copy to your /etc/mock and use -
https://jvanek.fedorapeople.org/java11/jvanek-java11-fedora-32-x86_64.cfg . Eg:
sudo cp downloaded-fedora-32-x86_64.cfg /etc/mock/jvanek-java11-fedora-32-x86_64.cfg
# change spec, bump sources, apply patches
fedpkg srpm
mock -r jvanek-java11-fedora-32-x86_64 *.src.rpm
Or any other packaging workflow you use, and you can use against the copr repo.
Thank you very much for your help, there are 500 failures, and 1000 java packagers, but only 2
active members of java sig. Without your help, the JDK bump will be very hard.
Thank You!
On behalf of Fedora java group
J.
