Changelog usage clarification
by Antonio Trande
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi all.
I need a clarification about the Changelog section in a spec file
during a package review process.
In particular, pursuant to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Changelogs guidelines:
> Every time you make changes, that is, whenever you increment the
E-V-R >of a package, add a changelog entry.
> ... Changelog entries should provide a brief summary of the changes
> done to the package between releases, including noting updating to
> a new version, adding a patch, fixing other spec sections, note
> bugs fixed, and CVE's if any
In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=966201, David says that
Changelog changes' list is not necessary during package review process
because it is still a "initial package" state.
For all my packages and not only, every one always asks me to update
the Changelog, also for a minimal modification in a package
pre-review/review process. To be sure and to resolve this issue with
David, I need some clarification regard to how to use properly the
Changelog section since the first package review submit.
Greetings.

Retired eclipse-wtp-jst-web, can't access rel-eng trac to file ticket
by Gerard Ryan
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
Hi,
I've just retired eclipse-wtp-jst-web from rawhide and F19. I'm
following the instructions on the wiki[0], but I'm failing at the last
step.
It says:
File a ticket[1] for rel-eng (component koji) asking the package to be
blocked from the appropriate collections in which it is retired.
I'm getting an error on the trac page saying that "TICKET_CREATE
privileges are required to perform this operation".
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
Gerard.

mod_security bundling code from 3rd party
by Athmane Madjoudj
Hi
The new version of mod_security (2.7.4) includes a 3rd party code: libinjection
an SQL/SQL injection tokenizer parser analyzer, according to the parser
developer, libinjection is supposed to be embedded into your code [1]
and does not seem to be compiled as shared lib.
In mod_security this library is used as an alternative approach for
detecting SQL injection (vs. regex-based whitelist/blacklist).
My question is: do we consider this code as a Copylibs or I should
proceed with unbundling it from mod_security code.
[1] https://github.com/client9/libinjection#embedding
PS.
I'm one of mod_security maintainer, ccing Peter and Daniel
Thanks.

How to push updates more quickly?
by Christopher Meng
Hi,
I'm maintaining youtube-dl, however this software often has updates.
So I want to know if there is an quicker way to push them to stable?
Currently when I update it to x version in testing channel, it just
released y version before x becomes stable. So after many times this
package still roll in the testing.
Thanks.
