Fedora 27 Final Freeze
by Mohan Boddu 17 Oct '17

17 Oct '17

Hi all, Today, October 17th 2017, is an important day on the Fedora 27 schedule [1], with significant cut-offs. Today we have the Final Freeze [2]. This means that only packages which fix accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs [3][4][5] will be marked as 'stable' and included in the Final composes. Other builds will remain in updates-testing until the Final release is approved, at which point the Final freeze is lifted and packages can move to the 'updates' repository, pending updates will be pushed before final release as zero day updates.

Release status of the Fedora 27 Server Beta is NO-GO. The next Go/No-Go meeting is planned on Thursday, October 19th. The F27 Server Beta release slips for one week. A FESCo issue [1] has been opened to determine whether the F27 Server Final GA slips as well or whether there is going to be "Rain Date" feature accepted for the F27 Server Beta release and the Final GA remains as planned. For more information please check the F27 Server Beta Go/No-Go meeting minutes [2][3].

Bodhi now has a "batched" request state
by Randy Barlow 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

Greetings fellow Fedora friends! bodhi-2.11.0[0] has been deployed to production, and this release introduces a new state for updates where the request can be "batched". The purpose of this state is to give updates a place to sit once they've reached the stable requirements until the next weekly batch update push. There is a cron that is set to run on Tuesday's at 03:00 UTC that will switch all "request: batched" updates to "request: stable" automatically, and they will then proceed the next time releng does a push each week. I know this was a bit controversial when discussed here in the past, so take solace in this: you (the developer) can override this easily, by either clicking "push to stable" or by using the CLI to request stable, just like you do today. The new batched state is just a default state for updates to go once they hit the karma threshold. In other words, if you want your update to go out immediately, that's your decision. Important updates that need to go out immediately (think: bad bug or important security update) can set the severity to "urgent", which will skip the batched state automatically. Let me know if you want clarification about any of this, and happy hacking! [0] https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/docs/release_notes.html

F28 Self Contained Change: Facter3
by Jan Kurik 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

= Proposed Self Contained Change: Facter3 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Facter3 Change owner(s): * James Hogarth <jhogarth(a)fedoraproject.org> This is an update of the Facter package from 2.X to 3.X. It is a self contained changed which will impact puppet directly and potentially any other tools that make use of facter to gather information. == Detailed Description == In the effort to remove the dependencies on the deprecated net-tools package Facter needs to be updated past the 3.0+ release. The version presently in Fedora is 2.4.3, with 2.5.1 upstream as the most recent in the 2.X series. This is an update with breaking changes as detailed upstream here: https://docs.puppet.com/facter/3.0/release_notes.html The most significant change though is a switch of language from ruby to c++, with bindings for application like puppet to remain compatible. There is a COPR to carry out early testing here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jhogarth/facter3/ == Scope == * Proposal owners: The following packages need to be reviewed as dependancies: - boost-nowide - leatherman - cpp-hocon The leatherman package is already under review, the other two I'll be submitting for review in due course. The only package showing a requirement on facter is puppet, that will need a change of it's requires to use ruby-facter instead of facter. The release notes will need to include this to notify anyone using facter as a ruby library will need to change what package they install. * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: https://pagure.io/releng/issues/7090 * 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

Fedora 27 Beta Release Announcement
by Mohan Boddu 03 Oct '17

03 Oct '17

Fedora 27 Beta Released ----------------------- We're excited to announce the release of Fedora 27 Beta. A short list of changes: The Workstation edition of Fedora 27 Beta features GNOME 3.26. LibreOffice is updated to LibreOffice 5.4. Fedora Atomic 27 now defaults to a more simple container storage setup, furthermore offer containerized Kubernetes, flannel and etcd. We are also simultaneously releasing 64-bit F26 Beta for ARM (AArch64) and Power (both little and big endian) architectures. Fedora 27 Beta Server is intentionally delayed while we incorporate additional modularity changes, and is planned for release in approximately a month. Also be aware that we are missing i686 (32-bit Intel architecture) images for this release; this is due to a bug in image checksum creation and which we will fix it by the final release. If you are interested in testing Fedora 27 Beta on i686, wait for upcoming nightly images — or update from Fedora 26. For more details about the release, read the full announcement at * https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-27-beta-released or look for the prerelease pages in the download sections at * https://getfedora.org/ Since this is a Beta release, we expect that you may encounter bugs or missing features. To report issues encountered during testing, contact the Fedora QA team via the mailing list or in #fedora-qa on Freenode.
