Fedora 32 System-Wide Change: glusterfs dropping 32-bit arches
by Kaleb Keithley 19 Oct '21

19 Oct '21

There is a proposal[1] in upstream GlusterFS to drop 32-bit arches. The original proposal was to drop 32-bit with GlusterFS-7. GlusterFS-7 will land in Fedora 31/rawhide soon. More than likely though it will not be official until GlusterFS-8, which will probably land, accordingly, after Fedora 31 GA in Fedora 32/rawhide.

Re-Launching the Java SIG
by Fabio Valentini 15 Sep '21

15 Sep '21

This past weekend I finally decided to jump off the cliff and attempt to re-launch the Java SIG. It seems there's some interest in keeping the Java stack maintained, it's just not focused or organized right now. What we did when starting the Stewardship SIG seems to have worked out pretty well, so I'm trying to follow in those footsteps here: - new proper FAS / pkgdb group: java-maint-sig ("java-sig" is occupied by an old, unused bot account) - new private mailing list: java-maint-sig (for RHBZ bugs - so, possibly, also CVEs - hence, private) - tracking project on pagure: https://pagure.io/java-maint-sig (for maintenance scripts, tracking tickets, awesome package dashboards, etc.) There's already a public fedora mailing list for Java (java-devel), and and IRC channel (#fedora-java on freenode.net) which we will continue to use. Sadly, the existing wiki page for the Java SIG is hopelessly outdated, so I'm tempted to just scrap it and point readers to the pagure tracking project once it's set up beyond a basic README file. Major upcoming projects for the "new" Java Package Maintainers group include: - managing OpenJDK 11 / Java 11 transition for hundreds of Java packages in fedora 33 - starting to transition well-maintained Java packages from the Stewardship SIG back into Java SIG - possibly porting packages from gradle to maven to fix build issues and broken dependencies - transitioning from old java.net / JavaEE projects to the new ones now under the eclipse-ee4j umbrella I know that - among others - the PKI team, Neuro SIG, and Eclipse maintainers depend on parts of the java stack for their packages, so I hope that we can work together with them on these things, as well. So, if you're interested, please consider joining this group effort. I'll get new members set up with the FAS group / pagure project / mailing list. Let's make this happen. Fabio

pdftk retired?
by Michael J Gruber 08 Sep '21

08 Sep '21

I just git a "broken dependencies" notice for a package that I maintain. The reason is that "pdftk" got retired just the other day. I may have missed a corresponding post on fedora-devel, but I think a heads up notice to maintainers of depending packages may be in order before you retire a package, as a general idea. You see, unretiring a package is so much more work than changing maintainership. As for pdftk: I see 2 failed builds for version 1.45 and none for the current version 2.02 (which probably breaks the api anyways). What are the plans? Retire pdftk completely? Start fresh with pdftk2? pdflabs, the maker of pdftk, provide binary as well as source rpms for pdftk 2.02, by the way. I might even look into packaging it but don't want to duplicate any existing efforts. Michael

Upstream tip wanted: CI service for Big Endian acrhes
by Miro Hrončok 28 Mar '21

28 Mar '21

Recently I've reported some Big Endian related test failures to an upstream project [0]. I was asked by an upstream project maintainer, whether I know some free Continuous Integration services where they can easily run their testsuite on Big Endian. Any tips? * Upstream uses Travis CI to test on x86_64 Linux (Ubuntu) * Upstream uses AppVeyor to test on Microsoft Windows * It's a pure Python project, noarch, but some changes need to be done when loading/saving binary data (LE) with NumPy on BE system. What I've considered: * COPR (but there is no big endian arch) * (Ab)using Koji (I guess that would be considered a bad practice?) * using QUEMU on Travis CI [1] Any better tips? Thanks [0] https://github.com/mikedh/trimesh/issues/249 [1] https://developer.ibm.com/linuxonpower/2017/07/28/travis-multi-architecture… -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok

Fedora 33 System-Wide Change Proposal: ELN Buildroot and Compose V3
by Stephen Gallagher 29 Jan '21

29 Jan '21

I sent out the V2 version of the Change on Friday and then promptly managed to injure myself and be away from email until today. I've read through the email threads again this morning and I decided that, rather than try to address them one by one, I'd try again with a V3 that hopefully answers some of the repeated questions and concerns on that list. Please see the newly-updated https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ELN_Buildroot_and_Compose for more details[1]. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Changes%2FELN_Buildroot_and_Com…

Server Side Public License (SSPL) v1
by Tom Callaway 21 Jan '21

21 Jan '21

After review, Fedora has determined that the Server Side Public License v1 (SSPL) is not a Free Software License. It is the belief of Fedora that the SSPL is intentionally crafted to be aggressively discriminatory towards a specific class of users. Additionally, it seems clear that the intent of the license author is to cause Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt towards commercial users of software under that license. To consider the SSPL to be "Free" or "Open Source" causes that shadow to be cast across all other licenses in the FOSS ecosystem, even though none of them carry that risk. It is also worth nothing that while there is a draft for a "v2" of the SSPL: A) It is not final. B) It is not in use anywhere at this time (as far as we know). C) The intent of the v2 draft text is not changed from the v1 license currently in use. We have updated our "Bad License" list to include SSPLv1. No software under that license may be included in Fedora (including EPEL and COPRs). Thanks, Tom Callaway Fedora Legal

Sorry---I'm not current with the wdune scenario. I assumed you meant that you'd review it unofficially as part of the work to get sponsored to the packagers group: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group… I'm not a sponsor yet so I cannot sponsor you to the group myself, but once you've done a few reviews, a sponsor will be happy to take a look at them and guide you through the sponsorship process. If you've submitted a review ticket for wdune already, I will be happy to review it and provide comments. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha https://ankursinha.in Time zone: Europe/London

Reproducible builds/bootstrap
by Pablo Greco 10 Oct '20

10 Oct '20

I'm starting to work on a project to make Fedora fully reproducible and bootstrappable from scratch. I know it is a long term plan and still working on the steps, but it would be good to know the current status, if there is an internal interest in this, if someone is already working (or planning to). Thanks for the info. Pablo
