[Guidelines change] Changes to the packaging guidelines
by Jason L Tibbitts III 14 Sep '18

14 Sep '18

Here are the recent changes to the packaging guidelines. ----- The Python packaging guidelines have been updated to reflect the fact that Python 2 is deprecated. All relevant information for legacy Python 2 packaging has been moved to the appendix. Together with this change, the rule for naming the executables if both Python versions are shipped has been changed: "The unversioned executable should be the python3 version, unless it would break users expectations, in that case it may be the python2 version." Examples of that are provided in the appendix. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python_Appendix * https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/793 ----- The python guidelines were modified to indicate that packagers should not simply glob all files and directories under the sitelib and sitearch directories. Other small changes were made to avoid conflicting with this requirement. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Files_to_include * https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/782 ----- A section covering the new automatic dependency generator was added to the Python guidelines. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Automatically_generated_dep… * https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/740 ----- A new guidelines page was added, providing a place to discuss what is and is not allowed in Fedora. A number of sections were moved there from the main guidelines, and a new section was added indicating that only a single kernel package is allowed in the distribution. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:What_Can_Be_Packaged * https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/792 ----- Small cleanups were made to the crypto policies guidelines to modernize them a bit, and a new section was added requiring that newly added crypto libraries must comply with existing crypto policies. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:CryptoPolicies * https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/785 ----- The section on file and directory dependencies has been rewritten to be clearer and to explicitly indicate which file dependencies are permissible and which are not. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#File_and_Directory_Depe… * https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/714 -----

Fedora 29 Beta status is No-Go
by Ben Cotton 13 Sep '18

13 Sep '18

Release status of the Fedora 29 Beta is NO-GO. Due to in-progress RC2 for the F29 Beta release and presence of blocker bugs, the decision is “No Go”. The Beta release slips for one week to “Target #1” date (September 25th)[1]. We are not going to slip the Final GA yet. For more information please check the minutes from the F29 Beta Go/No-Go meeting [2]. The next Go/No-Go meeting will be held Thursday, 2018-09-20 at 1700 UTC in #fedora-meeting-1.

by Ben Cotton 12 Sep '18

12 Sep '18

Dear all, Join us tomorrow on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting-1 for the Fedora 29 Beta Release Readiness meeting. We will meet to make sure we are coordinated and ready for the Beta release of Fedora 29. Please note that this meeting will be held even if the release is delayed at the Go/No-Go meeting on the same day two hours earlier. You may receive this message several times in order to open this meeting to the teams and to raise awareness, so hopefully more team representatives will come to this meeting. This meeting works best when we have representatives from all of the teams. For more information, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Readiness_Meetings. I will ask for readiness from each of the teams listed below. If there are additional teams that should be explicitly included, let me know. All teams and contributors are welcome to provide input at the meeting. * Ambassadors * Cloud WG * Design * Desktop * Documentation * Fedora Project Leader * FESCo * Infrastructure * Marketing * QA * Release Engineering * Server WG * Spins * Translations * Websites View the meeting on Fedocal: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/Fedora%20release/2018/9/10/#m9337 -- Ben Cotton Fedora Program Manager TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis
