F35 Change: Enhanced Inscript as default Indic IM (Self-Contained Change)
by Ben Cotton
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Enhanced_Inscript_as_default_Indic_IM
== Summary ==
The recommended default input method for Indic languages will be
changed from Inscript to Enhanced Inscript keymaps.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:Pnemade| Parag Nemade]]
* Email: <pnemade(a)fedoraproject.org>
== Detailed Description ==
We have enhanced Inscript keyboard layouts available in Fedora. But
they were implemented some time back as draft implementation. We now
want to update them to follow the final released standard keymappings.
It is available as
[https://standardsbis.bsbedge.com/BIS_searchstandard.aspx?Standard_Number=...
IS 16350:2016] standard.

== Benefit to Fedora ==
Users who want to use Enhanced Inscript keymaps will get to use them
which will now use final released implementation of IS 16350:2016
standard.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
Update the final released Enhanced Inscript Keyboard Layouts standard.
This requires to update m17n-db package which uses
https://pagure.io/inscript2 as upstream for these Enhanced Inscript
keymaps. We will also need to update default keymaps for Indic
languages from Inscript to Enhanced Inscript. This will be done in
ibus-m17n package.
* Other developers:
* Release engineering: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
Users will be moved from Inscript keymaps to Enhanced Inscript
keymaps. Both are compatible to each other except some keymappings
changed for Normal characters as well as Shifted Characters and 3rd
layer (using AltGr) is added to type extra characters.
== How To Test ==
We already have Enhanced Inscript keymaps in Fedora but their
implementation is following draft released standard by Government.
With this Change users can test final released standard keymaps.
They can still use the same testcase
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Inscript2_Keymaps
== User Experience ==
* Users will type characters as per final released Enhanced Inscript
standard keymaps.
== Dependencies ==
m17n-db and ibus-m17n packages will be updated
== Contingency Plan ==
Revert to older Inscript keymaps.
== Documentation ==
We will add some information about this in Release notes.

Pcre2 libpcre2-posix.so soname bump
by Lukas Javorsky
Hi,
I'm announcing the soname bump of the *libpcre2-posix.so *library (pcre2
package) happening this Wednesday.
Library has some ABI changes which lead to this bump (you can read more
about it here <https://www.pcre.org/changelog.txt> under 10.37 version).
We are including the old soname library to prevent some running errors for
the dependencies. After rebuilding all of the packages, we will remove it
from the pcre2 package.
This change impact several packages listed below:
carbon-c-relay-3.7.2-1.fc35.src.rpm
haproxy-2.4.0-5.fc35.src.rpm
mariadb-10.5.11-1.fc35.src.rpm
metis-5.1.0-29.fc34.src.rpm
pcre2-10.36-4.fc35.src.rpm
util-linux-2.37-2.fc35.src.rpm
xterm-368-1.fc35.src.rpm
I'm CCing all the main maintainers of these packages to give them heads-up.
We're planning the rebuild on the 14th of July 2021 (07.14.2021), so if you
have any questions or reasons why not to do that, please let me know ASAP.
The actual rebase PR is here:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pcre2/pull-request/2#
<https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pcre2/pull-request/2#>
Thanks and have a great day

Hi all,
I'm glad I can announce that we have again (native) support for ppc64le builds
in Fedora Copr. Currently we have two Power8 boxes (in RDU):
https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/9059
The ppc64le chroots were re-enabled, feel free to use them. I noticed several
build failures caused by missing repodata in ppc64le chroots, please re-generate
the repodata manually if you happen to see those problems.
Happy building!

I apologize for the late update. There are no nominated bugs, but we
will take a few minutes to discuss the currently accepted bugs:
* 1951492 — A glibc test hangs upon pthread cancellation when glibc is
compiled with annobin turned on
* 1953675 — Akonadi does not start due to DB failure
