Dropping i686 media for F24
by Paul W. Frields 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2015-August/001661… Stephen Gallagher has proposed a Change for Server to drop i686 media for F24. Given our previous list discussion, this is something for which we should probably follow suit. Thoughts? -- Paul W.

file triggers in rawhide
by Matthias Clasen 05 Dec '15

05 Dec '15

Hey, I've added file triggers for a number of desktop things: - gsettings schemas - gio modules - desktop files - mime types - gdk-pixbuf loaders - gtk im modules If you are updating a desktop package in rawhide that uses any of glib-compile-schemas, gio-querymodules, update-desktop-database, update -mime-database, gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders or gtk-query-immodules-3.0 in its %post, %postun or %posttrans, you can simply drop those calls - the file triggers will take care of things. For the time being, it might be a good idea to add a dependency on a new-enough build of the package(s) whose file triggers you are using. Here is a representative commit: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/gedit.git/commit/?id=1cd2537b862233c c4b4b1d59a56d26224e8b5b8a Matthias

Replacing Shotwell with gThumb or Gnome Photos for F24?
by Luya Tshimbalanga 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

From this comment[1], it seems Shotwell has been forked and the original upstream is no more. I tried gThumb but my concern is the lack of support for non-destructive editing method. In addition, Shotwell still has an outstanding bug[2] related to Facebook account affecting all distributions. As Design Suite maintainer using Workstation as a base, I think it will be time to reevaluate which actively maintained application should be included as default. I looked at Gnome Photos but it lacks support of sorting folders by date i.e (YYYY/MM/DD). Comments welcome.

gnome-desktop and workstation-product comps deduplication
by Michael Catanzaro 25 Nov '15

25 Nov '15

Hi, I spent some time with F24 comps tonight, removing a bunch of packages from gnome-desktop that we don't ship in Workstation, and removing GNOME packages from workstation-product, then included gnome-desktop in workstation-product-environment. If I didn't make any mistakes then there should be no changes to what gets installed... but if you find something does break, please revert it or fix it or let me know. This solves the problem of having two big lists of GNOME apps, one unmaintained yet an inviting place to add more GNOME apps, so it should reduce future accidents where gnome-desktop gets edited by mistake (remember that caused us to accidentally release F21 without Maps). Going forward, you really do want to add GNOME stuff there once again. I didn't touch F23. Michael

Workstation WG call for agenda 2015-Nov-25
by Paul W. Frields 25 Nov '15

25 Nov '15

Tomorrow we have a Workstation WG meeting scheduled at 1500 UTC (10:00am US-Eastern). We have guests from the Developer Portal as requested to talk about their plans/roadmap for the Portal. We can discuss the issue of tie-in to the Workstation. Other topics are welcome for the agenda, but keep in mind the above may be a free-ranging discussion that will start first, so we can use the portal folks' time wisely. -- Paul W.

Just wondering if anyone has looked at packaging up the Firefox Developer Edition for the Fedora repos If it is possible, it seems that this would be a good inclusion for a lot of the target audience in Fedora Workstation. cheers, ryanlerch

Firefox integration in Workstation
by Ryan Lerch 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

I know this has been covered in threads in the past, but just wondering if i could bring up the idea again of shipping the firefox-gnome theme[1] as the default firefox theme in Fedora. Firefox is the default browser in Workstation, and it would be awesome if it looked closer to all the other default applications we ship cheers, ryanlerch [1] - https://github.com/gnome-integration-team/firefox-gnome
