Go packaging in Fedora
by Ben Rosser 06 Jun '18

06 Jun '18

Hi, What is the current status of the Go packaging guidelines? I know that recently there have been new proposed guidelines [1], and it seems like most new packages are now using them. As a packager, should I start using the new guidelines? Are they likely to be approved by the FPC? Thanks, Ben Rosser [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/More_Go_packaging

Packaging Kernel Modules
by Re Mianbao 04 Jun '18

04 Jun '18

My name is Santiago Verdu and I am a student at Brigham Young University. I'm working in the Internet Research Lab here and my current task is to package a Loadable Kernel Module called Trustbase along with some userland programs that supplement its functionality. The fedora packaging guidelines state clearly that packages must not contain any Kernel Modules. What is the recommended method of distribution for an LKM? I'm not quite clear on how to "code into the upstream kernel tree <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#No_External_Kernel_Modu…> ". The guidelines do state that there may be exceptions. Trustbase is an operating system service that allows system administrators control over how TLS certificates are authenticated and has the capability to reject fake/untrustworthy certificates. A more detailed explanation can be found here <https://internet.byu.edu/research/trustbase> and the source code is found here <https://github.com/markoneill/trustbase-linux>. Is there any chance that Trustbase could be added to the Fedora Repos? If not what would be a viable option or how could I go about submitting it to the upstream kernel tree? I am currently looking into COPR as a fallback but would prefer to have the repository added to fedora directly. Thanks, Santiago
