F24 System Wide Change: Change Proposal Name NewRpmDBFormat
by Jan Kurik 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

= Proposed System Wide Change: Change Proposal Name NewRpmDBFormat = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NewRpmDBFormat Change owner(s): * Florian Festi < ffesti AT redhat DOT com > Change format of the RPM Database from Berkeley DB to RPM's own format. == Detailed Description == The current implementation of the RPM Database is based on Berkeley DB. There are doubts about the its future and level of maintenance. In addition rpm's use of the database has multiple issues on its own. As a result RPM upstream is working to replace the database format with a new implementation. == Scope == Proposal owners: * Test and release the already implemented database format. * Make sure it is supported by all important tools - Tools using librpm should not be affected - Libsolv is the most prominent tool accessing the rpmdb directly and needs adjustment *Tooling for converting existing databases. Other developers: * Release and update libsolv Release engineering: None (hopefully). List of deliverables: None Policies and guidelines: Not needed Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic

F24 Self Contained Change: NeuroFedora
by Jan Kurik 11 Jan '16

= Proposed Self Contained Change: NeuroFedora = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NeuroFedora Change owner(s): * Igor Gnatenko (ignatenkobrain) Primary Contact <i DOT gnatenko DOT brain AT gmail DOT com> * Morgan Hough (mhough) <morgan DOT hough AT gmail DOT com> The focus of this SIG is to package and support neuroscience and neuroimaging applications, libraries and datasets on Fedora from the next release on. These packages will enable researchers to use Fedora in all aspects of their work from the design of experiments, data collection, data processing/analysis, data modeling and simulations through to visualization and report generation. == Detailed Description == The goals of the NeuroFedora SIG were developed watching the success of the highly lauded | NeuroDebian project in promoting the usage of free and open source software in the neuroscience community. Their effort has not only provided an easy means for researchers to install packages but it has helped improve the software engineering practices of the community as well as spawn a number of spin off developments in terms of VM images, USB sticks and AMIs that have contributed to both scientific research and education. We hope to use and contribute to the work they have done to improve build systems, test harnesses and quality assurance procedures for the community. As with any scientifically focused SIG, there will be a great deal of overlap with other SIGs. Like most researchers, we use Python, R and Octave computational environments for both rapid prototyping and established toolboxes. Each of these environments has large ecosystems of packages and toolboxes that are widely used and make up the basis of the Science Spin. We will complement these with the addition of big data and machine learning tools and toolboxes that are of use to all disciplines even though some of these developers are focused on neuroscience and neuroimaging in particular. Finally, scientific literature is more likely to utilize LaTeX for documents which requires its own set of associated tools (TeXLive, BibTeX, etc.). NeuroFedora will be an active contributor to many aspects of the Fedora Scientific community. == Scope == Proposal owners: These are a set of mostly research packages that do not demand any changes from the main distribution. Any potential dependencies not currently available will be packaged and included.

F24 Self Contained Change: Astronomy Spin
by Jan Kurik 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

= Proposed Self Contained Change: Astronomy Spin = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Astronomy_Spin Change owner(s): * Christian Dersch <lupinix at mailbox dot org > A Fedora Spin providing a complete toolchain for both amateur and professional astronomers. == Detailed Description == In both amateur and professional astronomy and astrophysics Linux is a very popular operating system. More and more data analysis is performed using Python, especially the astropy project is a quite new effort providing a professional toolchain. The Astronomy Spin provides a complete scientific Python environment (2 and 3) as well as the AstrOmatic software. For observational astronomy, KStars provides a complete solution for astrophotography using the INDI library. In addition to an astronomical collection of packages the spin also adds a menu for astronomy to make work more comfortable. == Scope == Proposal owners: Implement this Change. Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) Release engineering: Add spin to spin-kickstarts, ensure spin has been tested, and release with rest of spins Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) Trademark approval: Approved -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic

Planned datacenter work - 2016-01-11 to 2016-01-15
by Kevin Fenzi 08 Jan '16

08 Jan '16

Greetings. Next week we are going to be optimizing some cabling in our primary datacenter. While we hope to avoid any unplanned outages, there may be times when network cables are moved when services don't respond right away. As always, watch https://status.fedoraproject.org/ for Fedora Infrastructure services status. kevin

= Proposed Self Contained Change: Cloud MOTD = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Cloud_MOTD Change owner(s): * Kushal Das <kushaldas AT gmail DOT com> After logging in the running Cloud instance, the user should get the pending updates (including security) details as MOTD (message of the day). == Detailed Description == With the help of dnf-automatic package we would want to show all updates including the security updates in the MOTD. Many other major cloud images do the same. The corresponding bug is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=995537 == Scope == Proposal owners: To work on implementation of this Change Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change) Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic

F24 System Wide Change: Suds Jurko Fork
by Jan Kurik 04 Jan '16

04 Jan '16

= Proposed System Wide Change: Suds Jurko Fork = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Suds_Jurko_Fork Change owner(s): * Scott Talbert <swt AT techie DOT net > Change the python-suds package to use the fork maintained by Jurko Gospodnetić. == Detailed Description == Suds is a SOAP-based web service client for Python which is currently packaged in Fedora as python-suds. This change proposal aims to update the python-suds package to use the fork maintained by Jurko Gospodnetić. Currently Fedora has the original version of Suds which has not been maintained or updated since 2011. The original version does not support Python 3. == Scope == Proposal owners: * Update existing python-suds package to suds-jurko and ensure it builds/works in Rawhide. (NOTE: proposal owner is not currently the maintainer of python-suds, but would intend to assume maintainership as part of this change.) The plan is to use the latest hg snapshot of suds-jurko. * In conjunction with the python-suds dependent package maintainers, help test dependent packages to ensure they work correctly with the new package. Other developers: * For maintainers of packages that depend on python-suds: test the dependent packages to ensure they work correctly with the updated python-suds package. No changes should be needed as the Jurko fork is believed to maintain compatibility with the original Suds. Release engineering: None List of deliverables: None Policies and guidelines: None Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic
