Hi,
GNU Guile 3.0.10 was released over a year ago, but Fedora's guile30
package is still based on 3.0.9:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2294649
Half a year ago a build of 3.0.10 was tried. Apparently there was a
build failure on i686. (I have not been able to find the logs of that
build.) I'm not aware of an attempt to fix this failure. Nor was it
decided to exclude i686 from future builds of GNU Guile.
As far as I can see Tomáš is pretty active in Fedora
(https://src.fedoraproject.org/user/tkorbar lists 75 packages!). So
there was no reason to check whether Tomáš is non responsive regarding
those other packages. It's unfortunate that, in order to get this
package unstuck, I have to follow the (public) non-responsive
maintainer procedure.
Kind regards,
Paul Bolle
Hi,
I'd like to switch gnome-software in rawhide to use a dnf5 plugin, to
move away from its dependency on the PackageKit. This had been
announced together with the dnf5 change proposal some time ago [1], but
due to some missing work on the gnome-software side it had been
postponed. As the work is ready, I'd like to finally finish this
part [2] of that Change as well.
I'll wait for two weeks and unless some strong objection is arose here
I'll do the switch to the dnf5 plugin in rawhide, for the Fedora 43.
Bye,
Milan

Greetings,
Next week I'm planning to update libdisplay-info in rawhide to 0.3.0[1].
The update comes with low-level API changes and a soname bump. The
high-level API in use by most of the dependent packages is unchanged.
0.3.0 was released in August and sufficiently tested in other
distributions, so I don't expect any regressions.
Dependent packages:
- cosmic-comp
- drm_info
- dxvk-native
- gamescope
- kwin
- kwin-x11
- libsrm
- libxfce4windowing
- mesa
- mir
- mpv
- mutter
- niri
- weston
- wlroots0.17
- wlroots0.18
- wlroots
I tested the builds in copr[2]; only dxvk-native failed to build, and
it's known to be broken since F43[3]. Weston requires a small patch;
I'll send a PR later.
I intend to set up a side-tag and rebuild everything I have access to by
Wednesday. Should be enough time to stop me if you believe this is going
to break the distribution :)
And since I don't have access to most of the packages above, I'm also
looking for help from a proven packager.

Hi everyone,
This is Zhidong, I started to work on Azure/GuestProxyAgent<https://github.com/Azure/GuestProxyAgent/> (GPA) with rust a few years ago. As our project moved on, we need onboarding our GPA to the Fedora Community and make GPA available to more Azure Linux customers.
Before this project, I mainly worked on Windows Programming, Linux is more than a pandora box I opened years ago. I will do my best to follow the guidance doc to onboard/update our crate dependencies to Fedora, while please help forgive me if I am not followed the doc carefully 🙂
Thanks
Zhidong Peng
Hi all,
The Flock CFP closes in a few days, so I apologise for the last minute
notice.
https://fedoramagazine.org/flock-2026-cfp-open-now-until-feb-2nd-2026/
We were hoping to submit a talk to Flock about the various
science/research related teams/SIGs in Fedora. If you're involved (or
interested) in such activities, could you please take a look at the CFP
submission draft we have here and add more information?
https://hackmd.io/@sanjayankur31/HydWCx88bx
If you're planning to attend Flock and would like to present, please
note that too---we'd love to have multiple people from different teams
involved.

Hi Fedora Community,
My name is Neerali Shah, and I’m a software engineer at Microsoft. I’m currently contributing to the Guest Proxy Agent (GPA) open‑source project and am working on building the necessary dependencies in Fedora so that GPA can run natively on Fedora systems.
A bit about me:
* I have experience contributing to open‑source projects, especially in areas related to cloud infrastructure, VM extensions, and Linux/Windows interoperability. GPA repo: Azure/GuestProxyAgent<https://github.com/Azure/GuestProxyAgent>
* I’m excited to start collaborating with the Fedora community and learn more about the packaging and review processes.
Here is the review request I’ve filed:
* 2434843 – Review Request: rust-xml - XML library in pure Rust<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2434843>
I look forward to contributing to Fedora.
Thanks,
Neerali
Hi all,
as an unfortunate side effect (one we failed to foresee, sorry!) of
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NodejsAlternativesSystem that
recently landed in rawhide,
you might need to adjust your BuildRequires if you depend on the
un-versioned `node` and/or `npm` commands.
The suggested way is to add `%{_bindir}/node` and/or `%{_bindir}/npm`
to your existing build deps:
```
BuildRequires: nodejs-devel, %{_bindir}/node, %{_bindir}/npm
```
The change to packaging guidelines along the above lines is now proposed:
https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/pull-request/1521
The rough list of likely affected packages, according to
mass-prebuild, is as follows:
binaryen
cef
chromium
cjdns
cockpit
cockpit-files
cockpit-podman
csslint
firefox
golang-github-evanw-esbuild
icecat
jowl
js-d3-flame-graph
js-jquery
js-jquery-ui
jupyterlab
libmysofa
linux-sgx
magicmirror
magicmirror-module-onthisday
mathjax3
mozilla-noscript
mozilla-ublock-origin
nodejs-aw-webui
nodejs-buble
nodejs-cjs-module-lexer
nodejs-colors
nodejs-cssnano
nodejs-cssnano-preset-advanced
nodejs-pnpm
nodejs-postcss-url
nodejs-undici
pcs
postcss-cli
python-furo
python-jupytext
python-nbdime
python-pydata-sphinx-theme
python-sphinx-book-theme
qt5-qtwebengine
qt6-qtwebengine
R-V8
thunderbird
tinygo
typescript
uglify-js
yarnpkg
I'll be going over the packages, and opening PRs when appropriate; but
if you run into FTBFS in the meantime, hopefully you'll know what to
do.
Sorry about the noise.
