Hi all,
I'm upstream author of the abi-compliance-checker, abi-dumper, api-sanity-checker and pkgdiff Fedora packages, maintainer of the https://abi-laboratory.pro/?view=tracker and developer (in the past) of the LSB Infrastructure project and LSB Core tests.
Since 2014 I am passionate about the Linux hardware compatibility. The result of my work in this area is the hw-probe tool that checks operability of devices on computer board by collecting and analysis of hardware related system logs and outputs of other tools like lspci, lsusb, hwinfo, smartctl, etc. Most interesting hardware logs and statistics are dumped to the Github repository so that anyone can perform any kind of analysis: https://github.com/linuxhw/
Most interesting stats are:
* Reliability of hard drives: https://github.com/linuxhw/SMART
* Devices with poor Linux-compatibility: https://github.com/linuxhw/HWInfo
Adding this package to Fedora will improve stats and may simplify sharing of multiple logs between developers and users of the Fedora platform. Private info is removed from logs at client-side (username, machine's hostname, IP addresses, MAC addresses, serial numbers, etc.), so sharing a probe link is more safe than attaching original system logs.
Review Request: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1655421
Can someone take this package or sponsor me to maintain it?
It's a simple noarch package with a simple spec file.
Thank you!
Seems like Apple converted their phones over to using a new file format
to store pictures. I was copying some pictures from a phone and noticed
my linux box couldn't read them and they had an interesting extension .heic.
Looks like there is a new image format in town and we need the libheif and
libde265 libraries in order to read it according to the gimp plugin [1]. The
plugin docs say it should be included by default now in gimp but the gimp on
my f29 system says it can't read the file. This is probably because we don't
have the underlying libraries in Fedora.
Anybody been down this road? Is it as simple as getting the libraries in or
is there much more pain involved that I haven't discovered yet?
Thanks,
Dusty

Hi all,
If you haven't seen the banner at the top of bugzilla.redhat.com, it

Bugzilla 5.0 introduces a new REST endpoint to replace XML-RPC and
JSON-RPC. The XML-RPC and JSON-RPC APIs will remain available.
