[Fedora Change draft] Minizip transition to minizip-ng

[Lukas Javorsky]

Hi,

We've been working on a set of Fedora changes (zlib and minizip) and now
I'd like to share the minizip Fedora change [1] with you, the community.

This one is smaller than the zlib one, but it needs to be finished before
the zlib (as we will remove the minizip-compat subpackage with the zlib
package).

All details are mentioned in the Change proposal, I just wanted to share it
directly with you via this email.

Please raise any questions/feedback, so we can fine-tune it before asking
for a wrangler from FESCo.

There are currently three packages that don't build with the new minizip-ng
(all reported to their maintainers):
Chromium: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2242271
Libdigidocpp: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2240599
OpenColorIO: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2239262

All other packages have been rebuilt in the testing COPR repository [2].

PS: Don't worry the zlib Fedora Change will be shared with you as well

Here is the list of transitively dependent packages that will be FTBFS due
to the chromium, libdigidocpp, and OpenColorIO FTBFS (retrieved using
find_unblocked_orphans
https://pagure.io/releng/blob/main/f/scripts/find_unblocked_orphans.py releng
tool):
OpenImageIO
YafaRay
asv
blender
calligra
embree
krita
luxcorerender
oidn
open-eid
openpgl
openshadinglanguage
openvkl
qdigidoc
tinygo
usd

As the maintainer checked, some of these (that depend on OpenColorIO)
packages are ready for the minizip-ng-compat [1].
The chromium issue is being discussed with minizip-ng upstream [2].

The possible remediation for this FTBFS packages are:

Chromium -> Use bundled minizip library
Libdigidocpp -> Use bundled minizip library
OpenColorIO -> Don't upgrade minizip-ng to the new 4th version of API (stay
with minizip-ng-3.10.0). Not preferred as we want to have the latest and
greatest versions in Fedora.

I've also included this in the change proposal in the *Impact* section.

Most important are packages *blender, krita,* and *usd *which block the
upgrade [1] of OpenColorIO to the new version which supports the new
minizip API

As I mentioned in BZ, both krita and usd at least have PRs that fix
building, but I did not test functionality. I haven't checked to see if
they were merged upstream as of yet.

So really it's just Blender that's the hold up.

Thanks,
Richard
