Important changes to software license information in Fedora packages (SPDX and more!)
by Matthew Miller 29 Jul '22

29 Jul '22

On behalf of all of the folks working on Fedora licensing improvements, I have a few things to announce! New docs site for licensing and other legal topics -------------------------------------------------- All documentation related to Fedora licensing has moved to a new section in Fedora Docs, which you can find at: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/ Other legal documentation will follow. This follows the overall Fedora goal of moving active user and contributor documentation away from the wiki. Fedora license information in a structured format ------------------------------------------------- The “good” (allowed) and “bad” (not-allowed) licenses for Fedora are now stored in a repository, using a simple structured file format for each license (it’s TOML). You can find this at: https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data This data is then presented in easy tabular format in the documentation, at: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/ New policy for the License field in packages — SPDX identifiers! ---------------------------------------------------------------- We’re changing the policy for the "License" field in package spec files to use SPDX license identifiers. Historically, Fedora has represented licenses using short abbreviations specific to Fedora. In the meantime, SPDX license identifiers have emerged as a standard, and other projects, vendors, and developers have started using them. Adopting SPDX license identifiers provides greater accuracy as to what license applies, and will make it easier for us to collaborate with other projects. Updated licensing policies and processes ---------------------------------------- Fedora licensing policies and processes have been updated to reflect the above changes. In some cases, this forced deeper thought as to how these things are decided and why, which led to various discussion on Fedora mailing lists. In other cases, it prompted better articulation of guidance that was implicitly understood but not necessarily explicitly stated. New guidance on “effective license” analysis -------------------------------------------- Many software packages consist of code with different free and open source licenses. Previous practice often involved “simplification” of the package license field when the packager believed that one license subsumed the other — for example, using just “GPL” when the source code includes parts licensed under a BSD-style license as well. Going forward, packagers and reviewers should not make this kind of analysis, and rather use (for example) “GPL-2.0-or-later AND MIT”. This approach is easier for packagers to apply in a consistent way. When do these changes take effect? ---------------------------------- The resulting changes in practice will be applied to new packages and licenses going forward. It is not necessary to revise existing packages at this time, although we have provided some guidance for package maintainers who want to get started. We’re in the process of planning a path for updating existing packages at a larger scale — stay tuned for more on that! Thank you everyone! ------------------- A huge thanks to some key people who have worked tirelessly to make this happen: David Cantrell, Richard Fontana, Jilayne Lovejoy, Miroslav Suchý. Behind the scenes support was also provided by David Levine, Bryan Sutula, and Beatriz Couto. Thank you as well for the valuable feedback from Fedora community members in various Fedora forums. Please have a look at the updated information. If you have questions, please post them to the Fedora Legal mailing list: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal@lists.fedoraproject.org/ -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

List of long term FTBFS packages to be retired in August
by Miro Hrončok 26 Jul '22

26 Jul '22

Dear maintainers. Based on the current fail to build from source policy, the following packages will be retired from Fedora 37 approximately one week before branching (August 2022). Policy: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails… The packages in rawhide were not successfully built at least since Fedora 35. This report is based on dist tags. Packages collected via: https://github.com/hroncok/fedora-report-ftbfs-retirements/blob/master/ftbf… If you see a package that was built, please let me know. If you see a package that should be exempted from the process, please let me know and we can work together to get a FESCo approval for that. If you see a package that can be rebuilt, please do so.

Automated reports redirected into a new mailing list: test-reports
by Kamil Paral 26 Jul '22

26 Jul '22

Hello testers and developers, please note that we've set up a new mailing list called test-reports [1] and we've redirected all automated compose/updates/test/etc reports into it. These reports were previously sent to the test list and devel list and created a lot of visual noise among regular conversations (especially in the test list). You can see test-reports archives [1] to see which emails I'm talking about. The only exception is the main rawhide compose report, which still goes to the devel list (as well as test-reports), because it was deemed useful enough to be kept there. If you're interested in receiving these reports, please subscribe to the new list. The default reply is set to go to the test list, where we can have conversations about any suspicious changes/outcomes, but you can of course start your discussion in the devel list, if you prefer. Cheers, Kamil Fedora QA [1] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test-reports@lists.fedoraproj…

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Mumble1.4 This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee. == Summary == Update the Mumble voice chat application from 1.3 to 1.4. == Owner == * Name: [[User:carlwgeorge| Carl George]] * Email: carl(a)redhat.com == Detailed Description == Earlier this year the Mumble project released a new major version. The full list of new features can be found in the [https://www.mumble.info/blog/mumble-1.4.230/ upstream release notes]. This change also involves several notable packaging changes. * Enable the native PipeWire audio backend * Rename the Mumble server package from murmur to mumble-server, per upstream preference * Relocate Mumble server configuration file from /etc/murmur/murmur.ini to /etc/murmur.ini, per upstream preference == Feedback == == Benefit to Fedora == Mumble is a popular voice chat application. It is commonly used for gaming and podcasts. Updating the Fedora package to the latest upstream version ensures that Fedora Linux continues to be an attractive operating system for those communities. == Scope == * Proposal owners: ** Build version 1.4.x in carlwgeorge/mumble copr ** Test copr packages ** Build version 1.4.x in appropriate Fedora branches * Other developers: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Release engineering: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) == Upgrade/compatibility impact == The Mumble developers prefer distributions to name the server package mumble-server. Currently this is named murmur in Fedora. This change renames the server package to align with upstream. The required provides/obsoletes will be added per the packaging guidelines. The Mumble developers prefer the server configuration file to be /etc/murmur.ini. Currently this file is /etc/murmur/murmur.ini in Fedora. This change relocates that file in an RPM scriptlet to align with upstream. The old path will become a compatibility symlink to the new path. == How To Test == As Mumble is voice chat software, to test this change you will need a microphone and headphones/speakers. The carlwgeorge/mumble copr repository contains the updated packages. Install the mumble package to test the client. Install the mumble-server package to test the server. If you have other Mumble servers you routinely connect to, connect to them with the updated mumble package. If you are familiar with setting up a Mumble server, set one up with the existing 1.3.x packages and then update to the 1.4.x packages. Verify that the server configuration file gets relocated as described in this change. == User Experience == Users will have the 1.4.x version of Mumble available, with all the upstream features that provides. == Dependencies == N/A == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: revert to Mumble 1.3 with an epoch * Contingency deadline: beta freeze * Blocks release? no == Documentation == * https://www.mumble.info/blog/mumble-1.4.230/ == Release Notes == Mumble 1.4 is available in Fedora 37. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis

F37 proposal: Emacs 28 (Self-Contained Change proposal)
by Ben Cotton 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Emacs_28 This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee. == Summary == Update GNU Emacs to 28.1 release. This release includes a wide variety of new features, including native compilation of Lisp files. == Owner == * Name: [[User:Bhavin192| Bhavin Gandhi]] * Email: bhavin192(a)fedoraproject.org == Detailed Description == The Emacs package will be updated to 28.1 release of GNU Emacs. This will have native compilation feature enabled, and will package additional natively compiled Lisp files. == Benefit to Fedora == This major version of Emacs has bugfixes and new features which also improve the overall speed of Emacs. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Upgrade the Emacs package to 28.1 * Other developers: N/A * Release engineering: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with Objectives: N/A == Upgrade/compatibility impact == Users might see some warnings while their installed Emacs packages get natively compiled after first launch post the upgrade. These warnings won't break any functionality, though the users are encouraged to update their Emacs packages. == How To Test == # Run dnf update emacs # Open Emacs and check if inbuilt functionalities and packages work as indented. == User Experience == https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/#Releases * Lisp files are natively compiled, this results in speed improvements for most of the functionalities * Much improved display of Emoji and Emoji sequences * New system for documenting groups of functions == Dependencies == N/A == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: (What to do? Who will do it?) 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), No == Documentation == * https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/news/NEWS.28.1 * https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/emacs/pull-request/12 == Release Notes == The upstream release notes are available at https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/news/NEWS.28.1 These can also be accessed from within Emacs by doing `C-h n`. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis
