F35 Change proposal: RPM 4.17 (System-Wide Change proposal)
by Ben Cotton 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RPM-4.17 == Summary == Update RPM to the [https://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.17.0 4.17] release. == Owner == * Name: [[User:pmatilai|Panu Matilainen]] * Email: [pmatilai(a)redhat.com] == Detailed Description == RPM 4.17 contains numerous improvements over previous versions * More robust install failure handling * Many macro improvements, in particular much improved Lua integration * Strict checking for unpackaged content in builds * Libraries no longer need executable permission for dependency generation and is automatically removed for non-executable libraries * Long needed transaction APIs enhancements * Improved documentation * Tentative (planned but not committed as of this writing) ** Split debugedit to its own project and package ** Split language-specific packaging aids to separate projects (Python, Perl, Ocaml...) ** Dynamic spec generation The plan is to get 4.17-alpha into rawhide as early as possible (during April) to sort out any initial rough edges long before the general feature deadline rush. Final version is expected to be released well in time before F35 beta. == Benefit to Fedora == See description for overall benefits, but in particular: * All users benefit from the more robust installation * Packaging sanity wrt libraries * Macro authors will have a much saner experience creating complex macros in Lua * DNF for the enhanced transaction APIs == Scope == * Proposal owners: ** Rebase RPM ** Assist with dealing with incompatibilities * Other developers: ** Test new release, report issues and bugs ** Adjust packaging to adhere to the strict buildroot content checking * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/10072 #10072] * Policies and guidelines: ** Guidelines have nothing on unpackaged contents in buildroot, so don't necessarily need updating. Many packages will fail to build because of the stricter checking though: with rpm >= 4.17 unpackaged content is not permitted in the buildroot at all. ** Libraries no longer need to be executable for dependency generation, and executable bit will in fact be removed if invalidly set on a library. Guidelines only have a vague "executable if appropriate" mention so it does not *need* changing but could now be clarified/tightened if desired. * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with Objectives: no relation to current objectives == Upgrade/compatibility impact == * Many existing packages will fail to build due to the stricter buildroot content checking. Fixing this in the packaging is always backwards compatible. We could temporarily set `%_unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0` in rawhide to alleviate initial impact if necessary. * Rpm no longer implicitly creates databases on read-only access, this may require changes to existing scripts/tooling. Ensuring mock/dnf works is a pre-requisite to landing this change into rawhide, and will be handled, one way or the other, by the rpm maintainers. == How To Test == Rpm receives a thorough and constant testing via every single package build, system installs and updates. New features can be tested specifically as per their documentation. == User Experience == The user-experience remains largely as-is, but install failures are handled more gracefully. == Dependencies == * dnf and/or mock will likely need some adjusting for the lack of implicit database creation. If necessary, rpm maintainers will provide patches prior to landing this change. * soname bump is not expected so rebuilds should not be required == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Revert back to RPM 4.16, but the risk of having to do should be negligible * Contingency deadline: Beta freeze * Blocks release? No == Documentation == Work-in-progress release notes at https://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.17.0 and reference manual at https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/blob/master/doc/manual/index… -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis

Planned outage for Fedora Account System 2021-03-24 10:30UTC
by Mark O'Brien 22 Mar '21

22 Mar '21

All, Last week there was an announcement sent on the planned outage due to the migration to the new Fedora Account System. Unfortunately, we made an error in the starting date when writing the announcement. We intend to start the outage on Wednesday 2021-03-24 10:30UTC which will last for approximately two days. Having the outage on a Wednesday and Thursday allows an extra working day before the weekend to address any issues should they arise. We know this is not ideal and apologize for the short notice of this correction. This outage has been planned to migrate systems with as little interruption as possible to services for users. During this 'outage' time, you may experience a sudden 'user unknown' scenario. In this case, please try to re-authenticate into the service after an hour. If this change causes a major issue please contact us as soon as possible to let us try to address the situation in advance of the outage. We had always planned for this outage to be on Wednesday and Thursday, but misread our own calendar when sending the earlier announcement. For details on how this effects you please see this mail https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedorapr… Apologies, The Fedora Account System team

F35 Change proposal: Reduce dependencies on python3-setuptools (System-Wide Change)
by Ben Cotton 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Reduce_dependencies_on_python3-setup… == Summary == We'll do two things to reduce the number of Python packages unnecessarily Requiring python3-setuptools: # python3-devel will no longer Require python3-setuptools # packages with console_scripts/gui_scripts entry points will no longer automatically Require python3-setuptools == Owner == * Name: [[User:Thrnciar|Tomáš Hrnčiar]] * Name: [[User:Churchyard|Miro Hrončok]] * Email: python-maint(a)redhat.com == Detailed Description == Historically, for over a decade, [https://pypi.org/project/setuptools/ setuptools] was omnipresent in Python packaging. For that reason, the python3-devel package required python3-setuptools. This is however changing, with [https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0517/ PEP517]- and [https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0518/ PEP518]-based upstream packaging, setuptools changed to a very popular yet only optional way of building packages, many upstreams switched to poetry or flit instead. Since we received multiple user reports about an unnecessary dependency, we wanted to [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org… get rid of the dependency], but it was not possible until now. We'll do the two following changes (neither one depends on the other): === python3-devel will stop Requiring python3-setuptools === When we wanted to remove the dependency before, we have encountered a problem, which is best summarized in the Python spec file: # This is not "API" (packages that need setuptools should still BuildRequire it) # However some packages apparently can build both with and without setuptools # producing egg-info as file or directory (depending on setuptools presence). # Directory-to-file updates are problematic in RPM, so we ensure setuptools is # installed when -devel is required. # See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1623914 # See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Directory_Replacement Requires: (python3-setuptools if rpm-build) To avoid this problem, python3-devel currently requires `(python3-setuptools if rpmbuild)` for backwards compatibility. Other than that, python3-setuptools was always brought into the buildroot transitively with python3-rpm-generators. Since the [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/python-devel@lists.fedoraproj… generators no longer use setuptools but packaging] we can finally remove the dependency. Packages that don't BuildRequire python3-setuptools but use setuptools during the build will fall into one of the following three categories: * They will fail to build from source with errors like: `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'`. * They will successfully build from source because they will fallback to the standard library distutils module - their `.egg-info` directory will become a text file instead, causing errors when RPM tries to update the package (and they will possibly miss some runtime dependencies because the metadata generated by distutils is not complete). * They will continue to build unchanged because one or more packages they BuildRequire pulls in python3-setuptools transitively - at any point in the future, this can change and either (1) or (2) will happen. We tested this change in the past when we [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org… asked] other maintainers to explicitly BuildRequire python3-setuptools. Some of them responded, but many did not. Our analysis was based on grepping sources for any mention of setuptools, such as `import setuptools` or `from setuptools import `. Nowadays, the same grep-based query showed us roughly the same number (~350) of packages relying on python3-setuptools without BuildRequiring it. To see the direct impact, we have also briefly removed the Requires from python3-devel package used in testing [https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.10/packages/ python3.10] in COPR. It revealed only 140 packages that fail to build from the source because of the change, however many packages bring in python3-setuptools transitively. Some of the packages might build successfully even without python3-setuptools, because they fallback to distutils (from the Python standard library) if dependency on setuptools is not satisfied. To avoid such problems we will: * Mass update packages we analyzed as impacted to add the missing BuildRequires on python3-setuptools. * Do the change while doing the [[Changes/Python3.10|update from Python 3.9 to Python 3.10]] so the path of the `.egg-info` changes from `/usr/lib(64)/python3.9/site-packages/...egg-info` to `/usr/lib(64)/python3.10/site-packages/...egg-info`, hence no longer causing troubles on upgrades if some packages actually do change it from directory to file (and changing it the other way around in the future is safe). ==== How do we mass update the spec files ==== We plan to write a script to detect what notation for BuildRequires definition each spec file uses. Example of the most common occurrences: BuildRequires: python%{python3_pkgversion}-setuptools BuildRequires: %{py3_dist setuptools} BuildRequires: python3-setuptools BuildRequires: python3dist(setuptools) We will try to keep the added BuildRequires as much consistent as possible with the existing Python-related BuildRequires (including e.g. whitespace). We will not bump the release or add a changelog entry (the Python 3.10 rebuild will take care of it). To show how the proposed modifications will look like we plan to create a git repository with all the spec files and commit the change there. The diff will be shared on the devel and python-devel mailing lists, so maintainers can easily see the upcoming change and can provide feedback to us. ==== When do we update the spec files ==== We plan to mass update the spec files in the middle of April 2021, if you wish to opt-out from the mass update, please let us know prior to 15th of April 2021. ==== What spec files we will update ==== Below is the list of packages we plan to add BuildRequires for python3-setuptools to. If you wish to opt-out of this update, please edit this page and move your package to the list of packages to be ignored (listed below this one).

Packages with console_scripts/gui_scripts entry points will no longer automatically Require python3.Xdist(setuptools) === Packages that use the `console_scripts` or `gui_scripts` entry points used to generate scripts for them that imported `pkg_resources` (from setuptools) on runtime and thus all such packages needed to Require setuptools on runtime. This is an example of such generated script from Fedora 32: #!/usr/bin/python3 # EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'fedpkg==1.40','console_scripts','fedpkg' __requires__ = 'fedpkg==1.40' import re import sys from pkg_resources import load_entry_point if __name__ == '__main__': sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0]) sys.exit( load_entry_point('fedpkg==1.40', 'console_scripts', 'fedpkg')() ) The Python dist RPM dependency generator (`/usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/pythondist.attr`) hence generated a Requires on `python3.Xdist(setuptools)` for all packages with scripts like the one above. Starting from Python 3.8 and setuptools 47, this is no longer required, because the scripts will use `importlib.metadata` from the standard library instead of `pkg_resources` from setuptools. The scripts now looks like this: #!/usr/bin/python3 # EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'fedpkg==1.40','console_scripts','fedpkg' import re import sys # for compatibility with easy_install; see #2198 __requires__ = 'fedpkg==1.40' try: from importlib.metadata import distribution except ImportError: try: from importlib_metadata import distribution except ImportError: from pkg_resources import load_entry_point ... Since the scripts are generated during build, the packages no longer need to Require setuptools on runtime. The Python dist RPM dependency generator will no longer generate the Requires on `python3.Xdist(setuptools)`. The change is prepared in a pull request (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-rpm-generators/pull-request/38). We plan to merge it as soon as it is ready. It only changes the behavior for Python 3.10 or newer, hence it will take affect in the Python 3.10 copr only, until Python is updated to 3.10 in Fedora proper. Packages that actually import from the `setuptools` or `pkg_resources` module on runtime should explicitly require setuptools, but some of the upstreams may not do that. We don't expect many packages negatively affected by this, but since this is not strictly backwards compatible, we are only planning to do it in Fedora 35+. == Feedback == There was some discussion on various mailing list threads, but no other alternatives were proposed. * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org… * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/python-devel@lists.fedoraproj… * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org… * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/python-devel@lists.fedoraproj… == Benefit to Fedora == From [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#buildrequires Fedora Packaging Guidelines]: ''It is important that your package list all necessary build dependencies using the BuildRequires: tag.'' As our testing showed, this is not true for many packages. Some of them can successfully build either with or without setuptools (they use try-except import and fallback to distutils from the standard library). Such packages are especially dangerous when not BuildRequiring setuptools -- they can produce different results depending on the presence of setuptools: either an .egg-info metadata directory (w/setuptools) or .egg-info text file (w/distutils). RPM has troubles when [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Directory_Replace… upgrading directories to files]. == Scope == Some packages use distutils as a fallback in case setuptools is unavailable. The problem is that setuptools generates egg.info directory and distutils creates egg.info file. This would lead to failures caused by the known issue of RPM that cannot change directory to file. To avoid this we plan to do a mass spec update before we upgrade Python to version 3.10. This way we ensure that path will be correct after the mass rebuild. * Proposal owners: # Test affected packages in Copr. # Do the mass spec update to introduce missing BuildRequire to them. * Other developers: If your package requires setuptools on runtime, make sure it specifies it explicitly. There should be no additional work for developers other than that. There is a possibility that some packages will slip through our grep based query and fail to build, but we'll detect this in our testing Copr and fix them. * Release engineering: not needed for this Change * Policies and guidelines: already exist * Trademark approval: not needed for this Change * Alignment with Objectives: minimization == Upgrade/compatibility impact == All affected packages needs rebuild after the mass spec update but since we plan to do it with the upgrade to Python 3.10 we will rebuild it altogether. Users should not be affected by upgrades in any way. == How To Test == This does not work yet, but will soon: Interested testers can push explicit BuildRequire on setuptools to the distgit and see in our [https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.10/ Python 3.10 COPR] whether the package starts to build again. Webhook should trigger rebuild automatically on new commit in rawhide branch. == User Experience == Regular distro users shouldn't notice any change in system behaviour, except for packages that use setuptools or pkg_resources on runtime and fail to specify that dependency. Such packages will fail to run with ModuleNotFoundErrors and should be fixed by their maintainers. == Dependencies == 300+ packages will need to BuildRequire setuptools explicitly. This will be done by the mass spec update. == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Commit removing python3-devel Requires on `(python3-setuptools if rpmbuild)` will be reverted. The change in Python dist RPM depndency generator will be reverted (This mechanisms can be applied independently.). * Contingency deadline: mass rebuild * Blocks release? No == Documentation == This page is a documentation, this is not a user facing change. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis

New Fedora Account System Production Deployment - What this means for you
by Ant Carroll 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

Background For the last 12 + months, the Community Platform Engineering team have been developing a new service to replace the current FAS2 application for the Fedora Account System. The FAS2 application was written over 10 years ago with python2 and TurboGears1 framework. Due to its dependencies, it is tied to a RHEL6 deployment and could not be moved to a newer OS without rewriting. Finally FAS2 has a very small deployment base and we had to maintain it all. The new account system is based on the widely used IPA product. We have created a community portal frontend for managing account details (noggin). This means we only need to maintain the frontend and can leave the high security parts to IPA. Additionally, noggin may be used by many more community products. Key Dates - Subject to Change* Tuesday 23rd March: Data sync to IPA Wednesday 24th & Thursday 25th March: System-Wide Outage for machine config to Noggin 25th March: Final Run-Through of Production Rollout 26th March: Production Rollout Complete 29th March March onwards: Support for post deployment issues We do not anticipate these dates to change, however our team will meet for a final review of work on Tuesday 23rd March and once satisfied all rollback paths are in place and risks have been mitigated, we intend to deploy to production against the dates listed above. Please keep an eye on this mail for any potential last minute updates What This Means for You Everyone If you have an otp token enrolled it will be needed everywhere. This will include logging in through ipsilon or getting a kerberos ticket(kinit) which was not previously the case. Outages and interruptions to services during migration dates System Administrators All system administrators will need to enroll a new otp token with noggin Sudo command will ask for First factor and Second factor separately which is a slight change from the previous password+otp prompt Packagers & Package Maintainers Any packager that has otp enabled will have to follow new process in docs for kinit/pkinit ‘Drive-By’ Contributors If you are a ‘drive-by’ or more casual contributor to the Fedora project, you may have to reset your password. We anticipate the number of people who will need to do this is low, depending on when you last logged in. Please re-sign into your Fedora account post migration date. Post Deployment Support If you experience issues with your workflow as a result of FAS changing please log an issue on the fedora infra tracker https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issues. FAS will be left in a read-only state to support any applications that you might not be in a position to migrate immediately. However, we don’t recommend using it as the data it contains will quickly become out of date. Maintainer-test instances will be left in a “frozen” state which means any user changes such as new users or new ssh keys will not be reflected on these machines.

Planned Outage - Fedora Account System Replacement - 2021-03-25 10:30 UTC
by Mark O'Brien 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

All, Fedora infrastructure is getting a new accounts system! To put this in place we will need an outage to our services. There will be an outage starting at 2021-03-25 10:30UTC, which will last approximately *TWO* days. To convert UTC to your local time, take a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto or run: date -d '2021-03-25 10:30UTC' *Affected Services:* All Fedora Services - As this is the authentication system there may be issues logging in to some services. - Users may not be able to access people.fedoraproject.org or secondary.fedoraproject.org during the outage - Maintainer test instances are a special case and as such will be in a "frozen" state for access after the outage. This means that no updates will be made to users or ssh keys on these machines. Ticket: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/9747 If you have any questions or concerns please use any of the following methods of communication. - Comment on the ticket - IRC on #fedora-admin or #fedora-noc - Reply to this mail
