[HEADS UP] Eclipse dropping 32-bit arches
by Mat Booth 18 Mar '19

18 Mar '19

The message about Ceph [1] reminded me that we should probably make the same notification for Eclipse Platform. The Eclipse Platform upstream is in the process of dropping all support for 32bit arches. The current state is that upstream are no longer building for 32bit arches upstream for 4.10 (release 2018-12) onwards. I expect them to start actively removing 32bit specific code in future releases. You can read more about the decision on the upstream bug [2] In Fedora, Eclipse 4.10 which I am building for Rawhide and F29 right now, still builds for 32bit arches, but this will not last long. I expect in a future release (4.11 or later) Eclipse will no longer build on x86/arm and at that time I will no longer be able to support these architectures in Fedora -- I expect to exclude those arches from Fedora builds. If you depend on the ECJ batch compiler, this will continue to be available on all arches as a noarch package. (It is packaged as a discrete SRPM and has no build or runtime dependency on the Eclipse Platform itself.)

Fedora 30 Mass Rebuild
by Mohan Boddu 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

Hi all, Per the Fedora 30 schedule[1] we are supposed to start the mass rebuild on Jan 30th 2019, but due to known bug with gcc it got pushed by a day and will start on Jan 31st 2019[2]. We are doing a mass rebuild for Fedora 30 for all the changes listed in https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8086 This is a heads up that it will be done in a side tag and moved over when completed. We will be running scripts to output failure stats. please be sure to let releng know if you see any bugs in the reporting. You can contact releng in #fedora-releng on freenode. Failures can be seen https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mass-rebuild/f30-failures.html Things still needing rebuilt https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mass-rebuild/f30-need-rebuild.html [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/30/Schedule [2] https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2066 Regards

Outage 2019-02-02 13:00 UTC -> 15:00 UTC
by Stephen John Smoogen 30 Jan '19

30 Jan '19

This outage is a replacement of an earlier one in December which had to be cancelled. There will be an outage starting at 2019-02-02 13:00 UTC, which will last approximately 2 hours. To convert UTC to your local time, take a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto or run: date -d '2019-02-02 13:00UTC' Reason for outage: Various switches at the colocation are needing updates and reboots to get latest firmware working. While the outage should not take the entire 2 hours, it is being blocked out in case there are problems which are not realized and need backing out or other changes. Affected Services: dl.fedoraproject.org all build services most web services copr and all other cloud services. Ticket Link: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/7535 Please join #fedora-admin or #fedora-noc on irc.freenode.net or add comments to the ticket for this outage above. -- Stephen J Smoogen.

Vagrant 2.2 with QEMU Session
by Ben Cotton 30 Jan '19

30 Jan '19

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Vagrant_2.2_with_QEMU_Session == Summary == Upgrade to Vagrant 2.2, the latest stable version of Vagrant. Enable QEMU Session by default. == Owner == * Name: [[User:pvalena | Pavel Valena]], [[User:vondruch | Vit Ondruch]] * Email: pvalena(a)redhat.com, vondruch(a)redhat.com * Release notes owner: == Detailed Description == Vagrant 2.2 is new upstream's major release, that includes many features, improvements, and and bug fixes. Using '''qemu:///session''' instead of '''qemu:///system''' Vagrant will run unprivileged. == Benefit to Fedora == * Enable QEMU Session by default. With this, there's no need for user to input any password, or be present in some group. Everyone is able to use Vagrant, regardless of group or other ACLs. * Add host support for void linux * Add support for VirtualBox 6.0 * Add command for uploading files to guest == Scope == * Proposal owners: ** Finish packaging Vagrant 2.2. Current changes: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/vagrant/pull-request/17 ** Finish packaging Vagrant-Libvirt plugin. Current changes: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/vagrant-libvirt/pull-request/3 ** Work has been done in a Copr repository: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/pvalena/vagrant/ * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issues #8085] ** [[Fedora_Program_Management/ReleaseBlocking/Fedora{{FedoraVersionNumber|next}}|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) == Upgrade/compatibility impact == Because of QEMU Session enabled by defailt, a failure occurs with if Vagrantfile contains: ``` test_vm.vm.network :private_network, :ip => "172.16.0.2" ``` or similar. Can be solved by setting `libvirt.qemu_use_session = false` in Vagrantfile. == How To Test == * No special hardware is needed. * Install Vagrant * Run ```vagrant version``` * Use your Vagrantfiles or create new as before * If something doesn't work as it should, let us know. == User Experience == New features that come with Vagrant 2.2 will be available. Users will not need to add themseles to any group, or have root ACLs and input a password every time they use Vagrant. == Dependencies == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Blocks product?

F30 Self-Contained Change proposal: Improved GRUB menu
by Ben Cotton 29 Jan '19

29 Jan '19

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ImprovedGrubMenu == Summary == Improve the GRUB menu by only having the default boot option for each installed operating system in the main menu, and the other options into a sub-menu. This would better organize the boot options and lead to an easier and seamless boot experience. == Owner == * Name: [[User:Javierm|Javier Martinez Canillas]] * Email: javierm(a)redhat.com == Detailed Description == The current GRUB menu is confusing, specially when multiple operating systems are installed. The Fedora boot entries are added first and then the ones for the other installed operating systems. The main menu contains all the boot entries for Fedora but only the default boot entry for the other operating systems, the non-default boot entries for the other installed operating systems are placed into a per operating system sub-menu. An example of how the GRUB menu currently looks can be found at [https://javierm.fedorapeople.org/grub2/menu/fedora_menu.png https://javierm.fedorapeople.org/grub2/menu/fedora_menu.png] This can be improved by adding a sub-menu for the Fedora non-default boot entries, as is already the case for the other installed operating systems. This will make the boot entries for all the operating systems consistent. Another improvement would be to group all the default options for the operating systems as one section, followed by another section that groups all the sub-menus for the non-default options. A tentative design made by Allan Day for the improved GRUB menu can be found at [https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/BootOptions#Tentative_Design https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/BootOptions#Tentative_Design] For Fedora, the boot option in the main menu will either be the selected default boot entry or if no default was chosen, the latest installed kernel. For the other installed operating systems, the boot option in the main menu will be the latest kernel as found by GRUB's os-prober script. == Benefit to Fedora == Making the menu less confusing and with better organized boot options will lead to a better user experience and make easier for users to choose the operating systems to boot. == Scope == * Proposal owners: # Change GRUB to implement the changes as described in the "Detailed Description" section. # Make sure this is all properly documented in release-notes, etc. * Other developers: # Test and watch for regressions. * Policies and guidelines: The policies and guidelines do not need to be updated. * Trademark approval: No changes needed. == Upgrade/compatibility impact == The changes are in the grub.cfg file generated at install time by Anaconda. Users can manually enable this after an upgrade by executing gru2-mkconfig to regenerate their grub.cfg file. == How To Test == # Single OS test ## Install Fedora in a VM. ## On boot the default boot option is in the main menu and the other options (e.g: rescue boot option) are in a sub-menu. # Multi boot test ## Install Fedora on a machine which other operating system installed. ## On boot the default boot options for the operating systems are in the main menu and the other options in sub-menus. == User Experience == A simpler and easier to understand GRUB boot menu. Choosing which operating system to boot should be simpler and involve less steps. == Dependencies == None == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Revert the GRUB changes. * Contingency deadline: Beta Freeze * Blocks release? No * Blocks product? None -- Ben Cotton Fedora Program Manager TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis

Orphaned packages to be retired
by Miro Hrončok 28 Jan '19

28 Jan '19

The following packages are orphaned and will be retired when they are orphaned for six weeks, unless someone adopts them. If you know for sure that the package should be retired, please do so now with a proper reason: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life I plan to retire packages that were already announced 3 times next Monday. Unorphan/unretire packages at https://pagure.io/releng/issues (I still cannot unorphan packages, but rest assured that I monitor the tracker and I'm not retiring packages that have open request for unorphaning.) Note: If you received this mail directly you (co)maintain one of the affected packages or a package that depends on one. Please adopt the affected package or retire your depending package to avoid broken dependencies, otherwise your package will be retired when the affected package gets retired. Remarks: Some packages are falsely reported as orphaned for 60+ weeks. The issue was reported and I won't retire them sooner than after real 6 weeks. Sorry about that.

F30 Self-Contained Change proposal: Retire YUM 3
by Ben Cotton 28 Jan '19

28 Jan '19

(Note this change was previously submitted for Fedora 29: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2064) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Retire_YUM_3 == Summary == Remove yum (v3) and all related packages from Fedora. == Owner == * Name: [[User:mdomonko|Michal Domonkos]] * Email: mdomonko(a)redhat.com == Detailed Description == Remove packages from the distribution: * createrepo * yum * yum-langpacks * yum-utils * yum-metadata-parser * yum-updatesd * python-urlgrabber All these packages should no longer be used and all software using them should be migrated to DNF. Compatibility: * Important packages such as yum, createrepo or yum-utils will be provided/obsoleted by relevant packages from the dnf stack * Important executables such yum, repoquery, createrepo, etc. will be provided either as new executables or via symlinks == Benefit to Fedora == Drop an old package manager that has no active upstream development. Move existing users to DNF which that has active development. Secondary benefit is reducing number of packages in Fedora that still depend on Python 2. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Remove packages from the distribution: createrepo, yum, yum-langpacks, yum-utils, yum-metadata-parser, yum-updatesd, python-urlgrabber * Other developers: Either remove packages from the distribution or switch them to DNF * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7588 #7588] * Policies and guidelines: N/A * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) == Upgrade/compatibility impact == Any tool based on YUM 3 Python API will stop working. This applies on any 3rd party software which won't be changed in Fedora as part of this change. CLI compatibility will be provided by DNF. == How To Test == Repoclosure passes after dropping the packages. == User Experience == There shouldn't be any impact on YUM users because the functionality is provided by DNF already. Users of tools listed in the Dependencies section shouldn't see any difference if the migration to DNF is done properly. == Dependencies == The list of source packages (SRPMs) that still depend on some of the yum-related packages to be removed: (see wiki page) == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Do not remove the packages in the current release. * Contingency deadline: Beta Freeze * Blocks release? No * Blocks product? No == Documentation == N/A == Release Notes == Inform end-users about removing the YUM 3 stack and definitive migration to DNF. -- Ben Cotton Fedora Program Manager TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis

F30 Self-Contained Change proposal: Fish 3.0
by Ben Cotton 28 Jan '19

28 Jan '19

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Fish_3.0 == Summary == Update [https://fishshell.com/ Fish] to 3.0. == Owner == * Name: [[User:ignatenkobrain|Igor Gnatenko]] * Email: ignatenkobrain(a)fedoraproject.org == Detailed Description == Not only update it in F30 but also provide new version as opt-in for F28 and F29. == Benefit to Fedora == The new version of Fish has quite some number of bugfixes, features and performance improvements. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Put fish 3.0 into a module (that means it will be available for F28 and F29) and mark it as default in Rawhide. * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8077 #8077] * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) == Upgrade/compatibility impact == * Process and job expansion has largely been removed. <code>%</code> will no longer perform these expansions, except for <code>%self</code> for the PID of the current shell. Additionally, job management commands (<code>disown</code>, <code>wait</code>, <code>bg</code>, <code>fg</code> and <code>kill</code>) will expand job specifiers starting with <code>%</code> ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4230 #4230], [https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1202 #1202]). * <code>set x[1] x[2] a b</code>, to set multiple elements of an array at once, is no longer valid syntax ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4236 #4236]). * A literal <code>{}</code> now expands to itself, rather than nothing. This makes working with <code>find -exec</code> easier ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1109 #1109], [https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4632 #4632]). * Literally accessing a zero-index is now illegal syntax and is caught by the parser ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4862 #4862]). (fish indices start at 1) * Successive commas in brace expansions are handled in less surprising manner. For example, <code>{,,,}</code> expands to four empty strings rather than an empty string, a comma and an empty string again ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/3002 #3002], [https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4632 #4632]). * <code>for</code> loop control variables are no longer local to the <code>for</code> block ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1935 #1935]). * Variables set in <code>if</code> and <code>while</code> conditions are available outside the block ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4820 #4820]). * Local exported (<code>set -lx</code>) vars are now visible to functions ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1091 #1091]). * The new <code>math</code> builtin (see below) does not support logical expressions; <code>test</code> should be used instead ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4777 #4777]). * Range expansion will now behave sensibly when given a single positive and negative index (<code>$foo[5..-1]</code> or <code>$foo[-1..5]</code>), clamping to the last valid index without changing direction if the list has fewer elements than expected. * <code>read</code> now uses <code>-s</code> as short for <code>--silent</code> (à la <code>bash</code>); <code>--shell</code>'s abbreviation (formerly <code>-s</code>) is now <code>-S</code> instead ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4490 #4490]). * <code>cd</code> no longer resolves symlinks. fish now maintains a virtual path, matching other shells ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/3350 #3350]). * <code>source</code> now requires an explicit <code>-</code> as the filename to read from the terminal ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/2633 #2633]). * Arguments to <code>end</code> are now errors, instead of being silently ignored. * The names <code>argparse</code>, <code>read</code>, <code>set</code>, <code>status</code>, <code>test</code> and <code>[</code> are now reserved and not allowed as function names. This prevents users unintentionally breaking stuff ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/3000 #3000]). * The <code>fish_user_abbreviations</code> variable is no longer used; abbreviations will be migrated to the new storage format automatically. * The <code>FISH_READ_BYTE_LIMIT</code> variable is now called <code>fish_byte_limit</code> ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4414 #4414]). * Environment variables are no longer split into arrays based on the record separator character on startup. Instead, variables are not split, unless their name ends in PATH, in which case they are split on colons ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/436 #436]). * The <code>history</code> builtin's <code>--with-time</code> option has been removed; this has been deprecated in favor of <code>--show-time</code> since 2.7.0 ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4403 #4403]). * The internal variables <code>__fish_datadir</code> and <code>__fish_sysconfdir</code> are now known as <code>__fish_data_dir</code> and <code>__fish_sysconf_dir</code> respectively. == How To Test == 0. Make sure to have modular repositories enabled 1. Run dnf module install fish:3 2. Try out normal workload in fish == User Experience == * fish now supports <code>&&</code> (like <code>and</code>), <code>||</code> (like <code>or</code>), and <code>!</code> (like <code>not</code>), for better migration from POSIX-compliant shells ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4620 #4620]). * fish may be started in private mode via <code>fish --private</code>. Private mode fish sessions do not have access to the history file and any commands evaluated in private mode are not persisted for future sessions. A session variable <code>$fish_private_mode</code> can be queried to detect private mode and adjust the behavior of scripts accordingly to respect the user's wish for privacy. * A new <code>wait</code> command for waiting on backgrounded processes ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4498 #4498]). * <code>alias</code> has a new <code>--save</code> option to save the generated function immediately ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4878 #4878]). * <code>funced</code> has a new <code>--save</code> option to automatically save the edited function after successfully editing ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4668 #4668]). * <code>history search</code> supports globs for wildcard searching ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/3136 #3136]) and has a new <code>--reverse</code> option to show entries from oldest to newest ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4375 #4375]). * <code>set</code> has new <code>--append</code> and <code>--prepend</code> options ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1326 #1326]). * <code>set</code> has a new <code>--show</code> option to show lots of information about variables ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4265 #4265]). * <code>string match</code> with an empty pattern and <code>--entire</code> in glob mode now matches everything instead of nothing ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4971 #4971]). * <code>string split</code> supports a new <code>--no-empty</code> option to exclude empty strings from the result ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4779 #4779]). * <code>string</code> has new subcommands <code>split0</code> and <code>join0</code> for working with NUL-delimited output. * <code>string</code> no longer stops processing text after NUL characters ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4605 #4605]) * <code>string escape</code> has a new <code>--style regex</code> option for escaping strings to be matched literally in <code>string</code> regex operations. * <code>test</code> now supports floating point values in numeric comparisons. * Pressing Ctrl-C while running a script now reliably terminates fish ([https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/5253 #5253]).
