F21 System Wide Change: Format Security
by Jaroslav Reznik 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

= Proposed System Wide Change: Format Security = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/FormatSecurity Change owner(s): Dhiru Kholia <dhiru.kholia(a)gmail.com> Enable "-Werror=format-security" compilation flag for all packages in Fedora. Once this flag is enabled, GCC will refuse to compile code that could be vulnerable to a string format security flaw. == Detailed Description == Once "-Werror=format-security" is enabled, GCC will refuse to compile code that could be vulnerable to a string format security flaw. For more details, please see this FESCo ticket [1]. Enabling this option eliminates an entire class of security issues! To further understand why it is important to fix such bugs, please see Format-Security-FAQ page [2]. Implementing this change requires a single line change to be made to the /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros file (part of redhat-rpm-config package). My patch to do this can be found at [3] == Scope == Proposal owners: Currently, around 400 packages FTBFS if this flag is enabled. We need to file bugs and also try solving these FTBFS issues. Other developers: Currently, around 400 packages FTBFS if this flag is enabled. A list of packages which FTBFS is available at [4]. The fix for these errors is quite simple (in most cases). It's a matter of changing a line like, printf(foo), to read printf("%s", foo), instead. That's it. More details are available on Format-Security-FAQ. Additionally, we highly encourage owners (of the affected packages) to work with upstream. Release engineering: A mass build is required.

F21 Self Contained Change: Replace Bacula with Bareos
by Jaroslav Reznik 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

= Proposed Self Contained Change: Replace Bacula with Bareos = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Bareos Change Owner(s): Simone Caronni <negativo17 at gmail.com> The powerful Bacula network backup solution has switched from being Open Source friendly to being almost closed source. Originally the project was conceived totally as Open Source, but since the creation of Bacula Systems and its proprietary Bacula Enterprise Edition product, the Open Source (now called "Community Edition") has received less and less updates and is mostly abandoned. == Detailed description == The most important points that are left "abandoned" are the following: * Installation scripts and updates to makefiles are not updated anymore. * New plugins and functionalities are not added anymore, except those in the "core" daemons. * Gaphical (and buggy) console has not received any update in almost two years. * Patches and bugs opened in the bug tracker are mostly left abandoned. Even trivial fixes are not imported in the source. * Windows binaries are no longer provided, nor the source for the clients has been updated. Even if compiled with difficulties, there is no support for recent Windows versions. A former Bacula developer, frustrated by the situation created the fork Bareos a long time ago from Bacula 5.2.x (the current Fedora and RHEL 7 version). This version has now received '''a lot of bugfixes''' compared to the original Bacula source. This makes compilation and installation a lot easier than it was with Bacula. On top of this, a '''lot of new features''' have been added; some unique to Bareos but many available only in the closed source Bacula Enterprise. Here is the list of new features compared to the current Bacula 5.2.13: * http://www.bareos.org/en/whats_new.html Some highlights include NDMP support for enterprise class storage (NetApp, etc.), support for enterprise class tape libraries and Windows support (including Windows Server 2012) with Bareos generated binaries. For further details on why a Bacula fork was created please look at the following links: * http://www.bareos.org/en/faq/items/why_fork.html Bareos can also be '''fully compatible with Bacula''' by setting a specific configuration directive in the Daemon configuration files; thus providing the option for RHEL 6/7 users to interoperate with Fedora systems. * http://www.bareos.org/en/faq/items/bareos_bacula_compatibility.html == Scope == To accomplish the goal, the following Bacula packages need to be replaced with Bareos equivalents: bacula bacula-docs Currently, the same Fedora packages can be rebuilt as they are, to work also on CentOS/RHEL 5 and 6, upgrading the EPEL or official Bacula packages in the distributions. This is to have a consistent backup infrastructure across all the Fedora/CentOS/RHEL ecosystem. To ease installation, a repository for installing those packages on a CentOS/RHEL system do exist: http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/slaanesh/bacula/README.txt The idea is the same for Bareos: import into Fedora 21 packages that can be rebuilt for all supported Fedora/RHEL/CentOS releases and provide a repository that can upgrade any Bacula release currently installed in the system with the new one. In detail; the upgrade scenarios supported when going from Bacula to Bareos would be: >From Bacula 2.4: * RHEL/CentOS 5 with EPEL repository >From Bacula 5.0: * RHEL/CentOS 6 >From Bacula 5.2.13: * Fedora 18+ * RHEL/CentOS 5 * RHEL/CentOS 6 As written before, the change is impacting only Fedora 21, the list of upgrades supported are only for users who want a consistent backup solution across the enterprise. === External activities === Proposal owners: I'm the current Bacula mantainer in Fedora and will complete the transition in time for the release. Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) Release engineering: the release engineering team should make sure the new Bareos packages are in place instead of the current Bacula packages for the new release. Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)

F21 System Wide Change: Headless Java
by Jaroslav Reznik 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

= Proposed System Wide Change: Headless Java = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/HeadlessJava Change owner(s): Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotnicky(a)redhat.com> Server installations of Fedora should usually not pull in packages related to X system or sound subsystem. For this reason part of OpenJDK package has been split into headless subpackage which has smaller dependency chain. Fedora packages should be migrated to require java-headlesss instead of full java package when appropriate. == Detailed description == OpenJDK package in Fedora has been traditionally monolithic, pulling in a lot of dependencies including (but not limited to) * libXrender * libXi * libXtst * pulseaudio This is obviously not optimal for minimal server installations where OpenJDK is used for web application development and deployment. Designed after Debian packaging, Fedora OpenJDK package has been split into packages providing java and java-headless. This makes it possible for packages to use "Requires: java-headless". For most libraries and generic packages this is sufficient. End-user applications should keep "Requires: java" to pull in full OpenJDK package. This change aims to convert most Java packages to have "Requires: java- headless" when appropriate. BuildRequires on java-devel are unaffected. == Scope == Proposal owners: * Modify javapackages-tools package to automatically generate "java-headless" autorequires (simple change) * Identify and file bugs for affected packages (repoquery and bugzilla bug creation) * (optional) Mass-change spec files that have "Requires: java" to "Requires: java-headless" Other developers: * Modify spec files to have "Requires: java-headless" instead of "Requires: java" * (note) JavaSIG has several proven packages that could assist with this change Release engineering: * mass rebuild is not necessary but it would simplify things Policies and guidelines: * Packaging:Java needs to be modified to account for java-headless package existence (Note: there is already a packaging draft that aims to do that among other changes)

Announcing the release of Fedora 20 Beta!
by Dennis Gilmore 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The Fedora 20 "Heisenbug" beta release has arrived with a preview of the latest fantastic, free, and open source technology currently under development. Take a peek inside: *** What is the Beta Release? *** The beta release is the last important milestone before the release of Fedora 20. A Beta release is code-complete and bears a very strong resemblance to the third and final release. Only critical bug fixes will be pushed as updates up to the general release of Fedora 20. The final release of Fedora 20 is expected in early December. Meanwhile, download the beta of Fedora 20 and help us make it even better: http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease We need your help to make Fedora 20 the best release yet, so please take some time to download and try out the beta and make sure the things that are important to you are working. If you find a bug, please report it – every bug you uncover is a chance to improve the experience for millions of Fedora users worldwide. Together, we can make Fedora 20 a rock-solid distribution. We have a culture of coordinating new features and pushing fixes upstream as much as feasible and your feedback will help improve not only Fedora but Linux and free software on the whole. (See the end of this announcement for more information on how to help.) Since it's a beta release, some problems may still be lurking. A list of problems that we already know about can be found at the Common F20 bugs page, found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F20_bugs. == 10 Years of Fedora == The Fedora 20 release coincides nicely with the 10th anniversary of Fedora. The first Fedora release (then called Fedora Core 1) came out on November 6, 2003. Since then, the Fedora Project has become an active and vibrant community that produces nearly a dozen "spins" that are tailor made for desktop users, hardware design, gaming, musicians, artists, and early classroom environments. == ARM as a Primary Architecture == While Fedora has supported a number of hardware architectures over the years, x86/x86_64 has been the default for the majority of Fedora users and for the Linux community in general. ARM, however, has been making massive strides. It already dominates the mobile market, and is becoming a go-to platform for hobbyists and makers, and is showing enormous promise for the server market as well. In keeping with Fedora's commitment to innovation, the Fedora community has been pushing to make ARM a primary architecture to satisfy the needs of users and developers targeting the ARM platform. *** Maturity and Advanced Features *** Sometimes it's not the big new features that make a users' experience better, it's the little enhancements or long-awaited tricky features that really help make a new release the bee's knees. === NetworkManager Improvements === NetworkManager is getting several improvements in Fedora 20 that will be welcome additions for power users and system administrators. Users will now be able to add, edit, delete, activate, and de-activate network connections via the nmcli command line tool, which will make life much easier for non-desktop uses of Fedora. NetworkManager is also getting support for bonding interfaces and bridging interfaces. Bonding and bridging are used in many enterprise setups and are necessary for virtualization and fail-over scenarios. === No Default Sendmail, Syslog === Fedora 20 removes some services that many users find unnecessary, though (of course) they will remain available as installable packages for users who might need them. The systemd journal now takes the place as the default logging solution, having been tested and able to manage persistent logging in place of syslog. Also, Sendmail will no longer be installed by default, as most Fedora installs have no need of a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA). === Cloud and Virtualization Improvements === The Fedora 20 release continues the Fedora tradition of adopting and integrating leading edge technologies used in cloud computing. This release includes a number of features that will make working with virtualization and cloud computing much easier. === First-Class Cloud Images === The Fedora Cloud SIG has been working hard on providing images that are well-suited to running as guests in public and private clouds like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and OpenStack. If you're using public or private cloud, you should definitely test-drive the beta images today! === OS Installer Support for LVM Thin Provisioning === LVM has introduced thin provisioning technology, which provides greatly improved snapshot functionality in addition to thin provisioning capability. This change will make it possible to configure thin provisioning during OS installation. === VM Snapshot UI with virt-manager === This change will make taking VM snapshots much easier. qemu and libvirt have all the major pieces in place for performing safe VM snapshots/checkpoints, however there isn't any simple discoverable UI. This feature will track adding that UI to virt-manager, and any other virt stack bits that need to be fixed/ improved. This includes adding functionality to libvirt to support deleting and rebasing to external snapshots. === Role based access control with libvirt === Libvirt role based access control will allow fine grained access control like 'user FOO can only start/stop/pause vm BAR', but for all libvirt APIs and objects. === ARM on x86 with libvirt/virt-manager === This change will fix running ARM VMs on x86 hosts using standard libvirt tools libvirt virsh, virt-manager and virt-install. *** Developer Goodness *** As always, Fedora 20 will include several new features and updated packages that will be of interest to all manner of developers. === ACPICA Tools Update === Fedora 20 includes an update to the ACPICA tools from the Component Architecture (ACPICA) project. This provides developers with a significant number of additional tools that have never been included in Fedora before -- for example, tools that allow one to create an ACPI table and execute the methods contained in the table in user space, instead of having to modify existing tables. The update brings Fedora up-to-date for ACPI development and exploration, and reflects the reference implementation as closely as possible. === Ruby on Rails 4.0 === This update will keep Fedora up-to-date and will ensure that the current Ruby on Rails developers stay with us as they will get support for system-packaged Ruby on Rails of the latest version. Apart from that, Rails 4.0 also bring improved functionality, speed, security and better modularization. === GNU C Library 2.18 === Fedora 20 includes the GNU C Library version 2.18, which brings the project up to sync with the upstream release from the GNU project, released in August. This resolves a number of bugs from upstream as well as security issues. This upgrade should be backwards compatible. *** Even More Changes *** Fedora prides itself on bringing cutting-edge technologies to users of open source software around the world, and this release continues that tradition. No matter what you do, Fedora 20 has the tools you need to help you get things done. A complete list with details of each new change is available here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/20/ChangeSet *** Desktop Environments and Spins *** The Fedora project strives to provide the best desktop experiences possible for users, from desktop environment to application selection. == GNOME 3.10 == Fedora 20 Beta will have a preview of GNOME 3.10. GNOME 3.10 will have a number of new applications and new features that will please GNOME-lovers in the Fedora 20 release. This release includes a new music application (gnome-music), a new maps application (gnome-maps), a revamp for the system status menu, and Zimbra support in Evolution. == KDE Plasma Workspaces 4.11 == The Fedora KDE SIG has rebased to KDE 4.11 for Fedora 20. This release includes faster Nepomuk indexing, improvements to Kontact, KScreen integration in KWin, Metalink/HTTP support for KGet, and much more. == X2Go == The current nx package in Fedora is based on the last open source release from NoMachine. NoMachine is no longer developing nx as an open source project. The X2Go project has taken the nx code and is maintaining it as well as developing new client and server code around it. *** Spins *** Spins are alternate versions of Fedora. In addition to various desktop environments for Fedora, spins are also available as tailored environments for various types of users via hand-picked application sets or customizations. To see all of the Official Fedora 20 Release Spins, see the Fedora 20 Release Spins link. Nightly composes of alternate Spins are available here: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes *** Note on performance *** Fedora development releases use a kernel with extra debug information to help us understand and resolve issues faster; however, this can have a significant impact on performance. Refer to the kernel debug strategy for more details. You can boot with slub_debug=- or use the kernel from nodebug repository to disable the extra debug info. *** Issues and Details *** Heisenbug Alpha is a testing release. To report issues encountered during testing, contact the Fedora QA team via the mailing list or in #fedora-qa on freenode. As testing progresses, common issues are tracked at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F20_bugs For tips on reporting a bug effectively, read http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_file_a_bug_report . *** Contributing *** There are many ways to contribute beyond bug reporting. You can help translate software and content, test and give feedback on software updates, write and edit documentation, design and do artwork, help with all sorts of promotional activities, and package free software for use by millions of Fedora users worldwide.
