Call for help contacting contributors
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

Dear all, Packagers, members of the fedorabugs group and people having a 'watchbugzilla' ACL in pkgdb must have a bugzilla account attached to the email they set in the Fedora Account System (FAS). This is mandatory to allow ACLs to be propagated from pkgdb to bugzilla, allowing the right person to be made assignee or to be cc'ed on bug reports of packages. There are currently a few users who are not following this rule and have not been for quite a while, despite our attempts to contact them: * jackprice, FAS email: jackprice -- outlook.com watches 1 package * vjancik, FAS email: viktor.vix.jancik -- gmail.com co-maintains¹ 68 packages watches 1 package * mstuchli, FAS email: matej.stuchlik -- gmail.com POC of 14 packages co-maintains 18 packages * ferbncode, FAS email: suyashgargsfam -- gmail.com watches 2 packages * jangernert, FAS email: janlukasgernert -- freenet.de watches 1 package If anyone knows how to reach to them and could either send them to us, the Fedora infrastructure team, or directly ask them to create a bugzilla account associated to the email they set in FAS, it would be highly appreciated. If nothing changes in the coming days, we will drop their ACLs in pkgdb. Thanks for your help and understanding, Pierre for the Fedora Infrastructure team ¹ This number includes packages on which the user may have `watch*` ACLs

Fedora 24 Alpha for POWER
by Peter Robinson 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

The Fedora 24 Alpha for POWER is here, right on schedule for our planned June final release. Download the prerelease from our Get Fedora site: - Get Fedora 24 Alpha Workstation https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/ prerelease/ - Get Fedora 24 Alpha Server https://getfedora.org/en/server/prerelease/ - Get Fedora 24 Alpha Cloud https://getfedora.org/en/cloud/prerelease/ - Get Fedora 24 Alpha Spins https://spins.fedoraproject.org/prerelease - Get Fedora 24 Alpha Labs https://labs.fedoraproject.org/prerelease - Get Fedora 24 Alpha ARM https://arm.fedoraproject.org/prerelease What is the Alpha release? -------------------------- The Alpha release contains all the features of Fedora 24's editions in a form that anyone can help test. This testing, guided by the Fedora QA team, helps us target and identify bugs. When these bugs are fixed, we make a Beta release available. A Beta release is code-complete and bears a very strong resemblance to the third and final release. The final release of Fedora 24 is expected in June. If you take the time to download and try out the Alpha, you can check and make sure the things that are important to YOU are working. Every bug you find and report doesn't just help you, it improves the experience of millions of Fedora users worldwide! Together, we can make Fedora rock-solid. We have a culture of coordinating new features and pushing fixes upstream as much as we can, and your feedback improves not only Fedora, but Linux and Free software as a whole. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/24/Schedule * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_file_a_bug_report Fedora-Wide Changes ------------------- Under the hood, glibc has moved to 2.23. The update includes better performance, many bugfixes and improvements to POSIX compliance, and additional locales. The new library is backwards compatible with the version of glibc that was shipped in Fedora 23, and includes a number of security and bug fixes. We've also updated the system compiler to GCC 6 and rebuilt all packages with that, providing greater code optimization and catching programming errors which had slipped past previous compilers. In ppc64/ppc64le golang 1.6 brings all the same golang functionality that other architectures have enjoyed enabling all the features and apps that are avaialble there such as docker. Server ------ - FreeIPA 4.3 (Domain Controller role) is included in Fedora 24. This version helps streamline installation of replicas by adding a replica promotion method for new installs. A new topology plugin has also been added that automatically manages new replication segment creation. An effective replica topology visualization tool is also available in the webUI. - NodeJS 4 in now available for aarch64. Earlier versions of nodejs have been available on primary architectures for some time. With nodejs4 we now bring all the functionality to aarch64 too. - More packages have been removed from the default Server edition to make the footprint of the default installation smaller. Cloud ----- - For Fedora 24, we're working hard to make Fedora the best platform for developing containers, from the base Fedora container images to a full-featured PaaS to run and manage them. - For both ppc64 and ppc64le we have qemu cloud images and add to it docker base images to the release as well. Issues and Details ------------------ This is an Alpha release. As such, we expect that you may encounter bugs or missing features. To report issues encountered during testing, contact the Fedora QA team via the mailing list or in #fedora-qa on Freenode. As testing progresses, common issues are tracked on the Common F24 Bugs page. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F24_bugs For tips on reporting a bug effectively, read "how to file a bug report." * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_file_a_bug_report Release Schedule ---------------- The full release schedule is available on the Fedora wiki: * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/24/Schedule The current schedule calls for a beta release towards the beginning of May, and the final release in early June. Be aware that these dates are development targets. Some projects release on a set date regardless of feature completeness or bugs; others wait until certain thresholds for functionality or testing are met. Fedora uses a hybrid model, with milestones subject to adjustment. This allows us to make releases with new features and newly-integrated and updated upstream software while also retaining high quality. _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel-announce@lists.fedoraproje…

pacman update / libalpm so bump in F22+
by Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

Hi, old versions of pacman (the arch linux installer) will stop working with new packages after April 23rd [1]. I'm updating pacman in all Fedora releases to the latest version. This means that libalpm will be bumped incompatibly, but I don't expect anyone to be linking to it. [1] https://www.archlinux.org/news/required-update-to-pacman-501-before-2016-04… Zbyszek

Checking signatures on package source tarballs
by David Woodhouse 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

Michael, you make a very good point at https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2016/03/13/do-you-trust-this-package/ Our packaging guidelines really ought to mandate that *if* upstream publishes GPG or PKCS#7/CMS signatures of source tarballs, then the package *must* verify those signatures as part of %prep. Do you want to put a draft together for approval by the packaging committee? It might be nice to provide some RPM macros to make that easier for packagers. I've had a go at doing this for OpenConnect, in http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/openconnect.git/commit/?id=ca61de3f… It's a bit pointless there, since the tarballs tend to get uploaded to Fedora from the same workstation I sign them on, sometimes *before* they're uploaded to the FTP site. But it's still good practice, as you rightly point out. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre David.Woodhouse(a)intel.com Intel Corporation

[Modularity] First WG meeting in 30 minutes
by langdon 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

First and foremost, I would like to point out that we have a modularity calendar in fedocal[1]. We will schedule meetings there and, likely, send a note to devel@ for each meeting with an agenda, etc. I would also like to formally invite the Fedora Base WG and Envs & Stacks members to the new Modularity WG and hope to see them at the meeting. I am proposing the following agenda for today, but am happy to take edits here or during the meeting. * intros, overview, context setting * determine the number of voting members of the WG * proposal to close nominations early as we likely have more than required * discuss the best time for future, recurring meetings * discuss "what to deliver" & planned delivery dates * discuss approach for "doing work" * assign people to update wiki with decisions Langdon Modularity Objective Lead [1]: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/modularity/
