I'm sure those that need to know, know, but for those that haven't heard[1]
Mozilla's official Firefox build will enforce addons to contain a Mozilla signature
without any runtime option to disable the check.
Initially this prevents Fedora packaged addons since they are unsigned. The Mozilla
signing process takes time and can't be part of a package building process.
Is Fedora going to get authorization to build Firefox with a runtime disable option?

I have a patch for a source file that has DOS line endings and %patch
strips the \r characters causing the patch to fail while suggesting the
use of the --binary option. However the %patch macro will not accept
the binary option.
Is there an easy way to use a patch with DOS line endings or am I going
to need to convert the fix to unix line endins in prep, before applying
the patch?
# F23 Blocker Review meeting
# Date: 2015-08-31
# Time: 1600 UTC
# Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net
It's that time of week again - Blocker Review! This time around we have
1/3 proposed blockers for Beta/Final. We'll meet up at our regular time
after the QA meeting to go through them. It'll likely be a short
meeting.
If you have time tomorrow, to take a look at the proposed or accepted
blockers before the meeting - the full list can be found here:
https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/
Make sure to click through the milestones to see how many we have
before the meeting!
We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the
Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not
fixed. Information on the release criteria for F23 can be found on the
wiki [0].

check out these links:

And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting
works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out
the SOP on the wiki:

Have a good weekend and see you Monday!

Hi,
Is there already any discussion about:
rename arch name "noarch" to "all"
rename arch name "x86_64" to "amd64"
rename package name "kernel-PAE" to "kernel"
and even rename package name "kernel" to "linux"
I discovered an easily reproducible bug in Rawhide back in June which
affects LVM:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1237136
This breaks many LVM commands, eg. 'lvmchange -a ..' which is used
during boot.
The same bug has now started to affect Fedora 23 because of the
backporting of the buggy kernel version to F23.
I think this should be a blocker for the F23 release. How do I make
it so?
Rich.

Willie is a neat little IRC bot that is very easy to extend, install, and
use, and is written in Python.
Since I was busy with real life stuff, I neglected maintaining the package
for quite a while (sorry!) and the version in Fedora is well behind
upstream now, unfortunately.
I don't think I'll have the time to update it any time soon, and since I
found out people are actually using it, I think the best course of action
is to orphan the package and hope that either someone else updates it, or
that it will be retired and users will install the latest version via pip.
If you want to take this package and update it, please do, but be advised:
the version in Fedora is about a year old, 4.5, while the latest version is
5.5.0. Many bugs have been fixed since (including improved python 3
support. The package in Fedora doesn't even have a python3 subpackage
unfortunately).
The 5.x branch introduced a new DB format for the runtime settings DB,
which stores things like preferred user timezone and such. Since 4.5 is
very old, it doesn't contain any of the preparation code for 5.x, so
updating directly from 4.5 to 5.5 will break the DB.
So, if you are planning on updating the Fedora package, it will be wise to
update to 4.6.x first, wait some time, and then update to 5.x...
alternatively, only update to 4.6.x in currently released Fedora, and
update to 5.x in F23 and Rawhide (and I'm not sure what would be the best
solution for EPEL in this specific case).
Another thing that is important to know before taking the package is that
upstream is renaming the project for 6.0 for various reasons, and it will
be named Sopel - so when updating to 6.x (not yet released) you would need
a rename review.

Hi,
This morning, bodhi2 doesn't allow me to submit an update. After a
seemingly successful login-in, when trying to submit an update, a popup
pops up telling me:
"ACL validation mechanism was unable to determine ACLs"
