Hello, How about generating rpm provides for gir typelibs at buildtime ? pull request doing something of the sort in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gobject-introspection/pull-request/1 eg gir-1.0(NMGtk-1.0)(x86-64) provided by libnm-gtk The requires on those I guess should be manual for the time being. I realize it probably qualifies as a system wide change, but decided to first bring it up here. Regards Yanko

2017-12-11 @ 17:00 UTC - Fedora 28 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson 08 Dec '17

08 Dec '17

# F28 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2017-12-11 # Time: 17:00 UTC # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net Hi folks! We have two proposed blockers and one proposed freeze exception for Fedora 28 Beta, and one proposed blocker for Fedora 28 Final, so let's have a quick review meeting on Monday. If you have time over the weekend, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ . We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F28 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good weekend and see you on Monday!

Introducing Suzanne Yeghiayan (aka Sly)
by Suzanne Yeghiayan 01 Dec '17

01 Dec '17

Hi, I wanted to introduce myself since I am taking over Kate Carcia's role as the Fedora DevOps Program Manager. I've been at Red Hat nearly 12 years and spent the first 6.5 years as a RHEL Program Manager. I still work for a Red Hat engineering manager as his Chief of Staff but wanted to help out here as well. It's been 5.5 years since I've been in this type of role, so please be patient with me. I'm excited for this opportunity and to work with you. Thanks, Sly sly(a)redhat.com

First Atomic Workstation/WorkstationOstree update
by Colin Walters 01 Dec '17

01 Dec '17

In Fedora 27 we released https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/27/WorkstationOstree… Now that https://pagure.io/atomic-wg/issue/373 is fixed, the first update is available, i.e. you can `rpm-ostree upgrade`. ``` # rpm-ostree status State: idle Deployments: fedora-workstation:fedora/27/x86_64/workstation Version: 27.4 (2017-11-27 18:48:44) Commit: 2ee80f9aeb4c7fb4abe08c6e54fb0fd494e6ece00044ee3c8d78672cf44b64b7 GPGSignature: Valid signature by 860E19B0AFA800A1751881A6F55E7430F5282EE4 ● fedora-workstation:fedora/27/x86_64/workstation Version: 27.1.6 (2017-11-05 07:09:26) Commit: 508b92bec034a075873091c57eae549acec3814d2381da103448f980814296fa GPGSignature: Valid signature by 860E19B0AFA800A1751881A6F55E7430F5282EE4 ``` Having an updated ostree commit stream in sync with the bodhi batches should help with synchronization issues. There's a bit more information about the project at https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config I and several other people use it as a "daily driver"; as the page says I think the project is useful for interested technical users, but there's a whole lot more to do; I just noticed the rpm-ostree plugin for gnome-software isn't enabled, going to fix that. I'd also really like to plumb through automatic updates by default. A big picture question is how much we stay in sync with Workstation as it exists today; for example I find it confusing to have applications both via rpm and flatpak, and I think it'd make sense to thin things down more. At least drop gnome-boxes by default, and potentially libvirt too. In this path we'd really be expecting most users to do package layering for things like that; personally I use `vagrant-libvirt` a lot for example. But OTOH there's already PRs like: https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config/pull-request/47 which add things.
