Proposal to modify release criteria for fwraid
by Stephen Gallagher 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

At yesterday's F29 Go/No-Go meeting, we discussed the blocker status of BZ #1628192 - Fedora 29 installation cannot see a firmware RAID device. While the blocker criteria clearly states that this should be a blocker for Beta, many of the people present at the meeting disagreed, for a variety of reasons. * Hardware supporting fwraid is considerably less pervasive than it was when the criterion was written * Testing this criterion can only be done with install media, which limits our testing pool to the very dedicated members of Fedora QA. Yes, anyone *can* download a nightly compose and try it, but in practice this tends to be limited to the core testers. The majority of testing that this feature will get will tend to happen as people try out the Beta release. To that end, I'd like to propose that we make the following change to the criteria going forward: "The blocking criterion for successful installation atop a firmware RAID array is moved to the GA release criteria."

fedora-package purpose and future
by Vít Ondruch 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

Hi, I am wondering what is the purpose of fedora-packager package and what is its future? It seems to be abandoned upstream as well as in Fedora [1, 2, 3, 4]. This is a bit unfortunate considering this is package every Fedora packager has to have installed. Is there a chance to give that package a bit of love? At minimum remove all the not working scripts and drop all the unneeded dependencies, make the others just optional. Thx Vít [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1530703 [2] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-packager/pull-request/2 [3] https://pagure.io/fedora-packager/blob/master/f/src/fedoradev-pkgowners [4] https://pagure.io/fedora-packager/blob/master/f/src/fedora-hosted.py

Running a test from dist-git
by Richard W.M. Jones 15 Oct '18

15 Oct '18

As directed by: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CI/Tests I tried to add a test to libguestfs dist-git: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libguestfs/blob/master/f/tests/tests.yml It's very simple initially. It just needs to run ‘libguestfs-test-tool’ (a program installed by the libguestfs package which does some self-tests). Ideally as non-root, but I think I've set it up to run as root to start with. I did a scratch build initially, but it seems like the tests only run from what's been pushed to dist-git. In any case the test didn't look as if it had run. So I pushed the test to dist-git -- see above -- and did another scratch build. However I've still no real idea if the test really ran. I got an email containing this link: https://jenkins-continuous-infra.apps.ci.centos.org/blue/organizations/jenk… which looks like there are lots of failures, but it's also not clear if the test ran / tried to run / didn't run / if this link has nothing to do tests. So, that was the end of my experiment. Not a very good result :-( Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.

Testing / feedback request: DNF 3 crashes
by Adam Williamson 12 Oct '18

12 Oct '18

Hi folks! Around the time DNF 3 landed in Rawhide (hence F29), we had quite a few folks on these lists reporting issues, including crasher bugs. Many of these seemed somehow related to the DNF history database. They also were not easy to isolate and fix. We're now close to the F29 Beta release, but we don't have a great sense of how many people are still having these problems with DNF 3.2 or 3.3. Can anyone who is still struggling with DNF crashes on *basic* operations on F29 or Rawhide please reply, and provide a few details on what you're seeing and any workarounds or fixes you've found? Thanks a lot! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

Orphaning nitroshare
by Raphael Groner 11 Oct '18

11 Oct '18

Hi, I'll orphan nitroshare. There are no dependencies except the subpackages. Reasons for my decision: Upstream did no release since monthes and claims instable branch for master in the documentation. There are some other good alternatives like KDE Connect or TotalCommander with WebDAV. Regards, Raphael

poppler soname bump in rawhide
by Marek Kasik 08 Oct '18

08 Oct '18

Hi, I'm going to rebase poppler in rawhide to poppler-0.67.0 now. There are several API changes and soname bump of the base library libpoppler.so.*. I've checked all packages which depend on the libpoppler.so.* and have backported/prepared fixes to reflect poppler's API changes. Unfortunately, libreoffice does not build currently (#1615616). But I've decided to push the rebase though because branching will happen today and I could not do chain build after that for F29. Btw, if your package use the unstable API (headers from poppler-devel), could you consider to change it to use a stable API (glib, qt, C++)? Regards Marek
