by Jan Kurik 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

The decision of the Fedora 24 Beta Go/No-Go Meeting is NO-GO. Due to an invalid F24 Beta RC compose [1] has been agreed on the Go/No-Go meeting to slip the Beta release for one week as well as to slip the Final GA of Fedora 24. The next Go/No-Go meeting is planned on the next Thursday 2016-May-05 at 5:30PM UTC. More information can be found in the meeting minutes [2][3].

Headsup: qhull upgrade on rawhide
by Ralf Corsepius 28 Apr '16

28 Apr '16

Hi, I intent to upgrade qhull to version 2015.2 on rawhide throughout the next couple of days/near future. This is a major upgrade, which will introduce API/ABI/SONAME changes and likely packaging changes, as well. This update will require rebuilds of several packages and will trigger FTBFSs, which will require package modifications and will cause (hopefully temporary - exception [1]) broken dependencies. Packages known to be affected: - 3Depict - blender - FreeSOLID - meshlab - octave - pcl - plplot - PyMca - python-matplotlib - saga I have preliminary local rebuilds of theses packages (exception [1]) and will try to take care about rebuilds (using my provenpackager powers), if possible. Ralf [1] blender fails to build due to other, unrelated issues (opencv).

25 Apr '16

Join us on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting for this important meeting, wherein we shall determine the readiness of the Fedora 24 Beta. The meeting is going to be held on Thursday, April 28, 2016 17:00 UTC. Please check the [Fedocal] link for your time zone. Before each public release Development, QA and Release Engineering meet to determine if the release criteria are met for a particular release. This meeting is called the Go/No-Go Meeting. Verifying that the Release criteria are met is the responsibility of the QA Team. Release Candidate (RC) availability and good QA coverage are prerequisites for the Go/No-Go meeting. If you have any bug on the list, please help us with Beta release. If we won't be ready by Thursday, we will use this meeting to review blockers and decide what to do. For more details about this meeting please follow the [GoNoGoMeeting] link. In the meantime, please keep also an eye on the Fedora 24 Beta Blocker list [Blockers].

Fedora 24 Beta Freeze
by Dennis Gilmore 19 Apr '16

19 Apr '16

Hi all, Today is an important day on the Fedora 24 schedule[1], with two significant cut-offs. Today is the Beta freeze[2]. This means that only packages which fix accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs[3][4] will be marked as 'stable' and included in the Beta composes. Other builds will remain in updates-testing until the Beta release is approved, at which point the Beta freeze is lifted and packages can move to 'stable' as usual until the Final freeze. Finally, Today is the '100% code complete deadline' Change Checkpoint[8], meaning that Fedora 23 Changes must now be code complete, meaning all the code required to enable to the new change is finished. The level of code completeness is reflected as tracker bug state ON_QA. The change does not have to be fully tested by this deadline'. Regards Dennis [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/23/Schedule [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Milestone_freezes [5] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process [6] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process [8] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Policy

F25 System Wide Change: Removing Perl from Build Root
by Jan Kurik 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

= Proposed System Wide Change: Removing Perl from Build Root = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Build_Root_Without_Perl Change owner(s): * Jitka Plesníková <jplesnikATredhatDOTcom> * Petr Písař <ppisarATredhatDOTcom> This change aims to removing Perl from minimal build root. == Detailed Description == When building a package in the Fedora build system (Koji), a predefined set of packages together with their dependencies is always installed. This is called minimal build root and it occupies about 527 MB now. In order to make it smaller, perl-generators dependency will be removed from rpm-build package. This effectively removed Perl packages from minimal build root (about 20 MB now). However, this will break building all Perl packages as almost no Perl package build-requires perl-generators and thus these packages will miss auto-generated dependencies between Perl modules (perl() namespace in RPM dependency symbols). To prevent from havoc, Perl Packaging guidelines will be updated and all packages the deliver a Perl code will be updated to build-require perl-generators. == Scope == Every Perl package spec file will be modified in the master git branch. * Proposal owners: Maintainers of rpm package to remove dependency on perl-generators. Perl maintainers to insert missing build-requirement on perl-generators into all Perl packages. * Other developers: Owners of packages that fail to rebuild, mainly perl-sig users, will be asked using Bugzilla to fix their packages. * Release engineering: Not involved. * Policies and guidelines: Perl packaging guidelines will be updated to mandate dependency on perl-generators for Perl packages. -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic

F25 Self Contained Change: Replace UDisks2 by Storaged
by Jan Kurik 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

= Proposed Self Contained Change: Replace UDisks2 by Storaged = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Replace_UDisks2_by_Storaged Change owner(s): * Peter Hatina <phatina redhat com> * Tomáš Smetana <tsmetana redhat com > Storaged extends UDisks2 API by exporting several enterprise features (in form of plugins), such as LVM2 and iSCSI. This project is a drop-in replacement for UDisks2, either from D-Bus or binary point of view. The main motivation of this change is to provide the unified D-Bus API for all the clients who are willing to manage LVM2, iSCSI, Btrfs, BCache, LSM and ZRam. == Detailed Description == Aim of Storaged is to provide unified higher level management interface for various clients who are willing to query and manage storage bits of the system. We plan to replace UDisks2 by Storaged, since the Storaged itself is the fork of UDisks2 and these 2 projects in its core haven't diverged so much (Storaged got some improvements which popped up while using it). == Scope == Proposal owners: To implement this Change Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change) List of deliverables: 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
