Greetings, I'm here in my capacity as manager of the DNF team. Probably everyone who reads this mailing list is aware that DNF05 has been in development for a while and that we planned to introduce it as the default (replacing DNF) with the upcoming Fedora 39 release. I'm sure some of you have also seen the recent FESCo ticket and discussion concerning its readiness and whether or not to invoke the contingency plan for shipping DNF05 in F39, since there is still a substantial amount of functionality lacking. We've gone ahead and decided not to replace DNF with DNF05 in Fedora 39 and, perhaps notably, Fedora 40 as well. Fedora 41 is the safest option at the moment. With a core system component like DNF, it's crucial that we provide a stable, complete, and thoroughly tested experience to everyone. In its current state, we would not be able to deliver that. With more time, we'll be able to regain our footing and do things properly. Furthermore, this team, which has worked tirelessly over these last several months especially, will be able to avoid burnout. This was not an easy decision to make, but it is the best decision for the team, for this project, and for Fedora. I want to close on a positive note and commend my team for the incredible amount of hard work they have poured into this project thus far, as well as people we've been collaborating with and who have been testing and offering feedback. We have more test days planned and will continue to operate transparently as we proceed through development. Thanks, -- Samantha N. Bueno (she/hers) Manager, Linux Engineering Red Hat, Inc | Boston, MA

Fedora 39 Mass Rebuild

by Samyak Jain

Hi all, Per the Fedora Linux f39 schedule [1] we started a mass rebuild for Fedora Linux f39 on 2023-07-19. We did a mass rebuild for Fedora Linux f39 for: - No default fedora-repos-modular - GNU Toolchain Update (gcc 13.2, binutils 2.40, glibc 2.38, gdb 13.2) - Make DNF5 The Default - Make Toolbx a release-blocking deliverable - LegacyXorg Driver Removal - Python3.12 - RPM-4.19 - Perl 5.38 [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_39_Mass_Rebuild] The mass rebuild was done in a side tag (f39-rebuild) and moved over to f39. Failures can be seen at https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mass-rebuild/f39-failures.html Things still needing rebuilding https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mass-rebuild/f39-need-rebuild.html 21426 builds have been tagged into f39, there are currently 1017 failed builds that need to be addressed by the package maintainers. FTBFS bugs will be filed shortly. Please let releng know if you see any bugs in the reporting. You can contact releng in #fedora-releng on libera.chat, by dropping an email to our list [2], joining #releng:fedoraproject.org on Matrix, or filing an issue in pagure [3]. If a build failed due to transitory buildsystem errors like "OSError: [Errno 28] No space left on device:" or similar reason, a new rawhide build can be run to clear the package from failed builds. This email template is also in https://pagure.io/releng if you wish to propose improvements or changes to it. Regards, Samyak Jain Fedora Release Engineering [1] https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-39/f-39-key-tasks.html [2] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/rel-eng.lists.fedoraproject.org/ [3] https://pagure.io/releng/

NTFS corruption with Fedora 37 and 38

by Michael Schwendt

Trying to figure out what has changed in Fedora land that causes NTFS corruption for some time. This is with default workstation with GNOME Shell auto-mounting external storage media when plugging them in. A ticket in bugzilla suggests there has been a changed from ntfs-3g to ntfs3: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2182206 ( udisks switched to kernel ntfs3 driver instead of ntfs-3g for mounting ntfs since the kernel 6.2 update ) The current state of development is highly dangerous.
