Needing help from sponsors to add me into packager group
by Chen Lei 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Due to some personal issues, I had to leave internet for 3 months and didn't sign CLA at that time. Therefore, I was removed from packager group since June 2011. Can anybody add me to packager group again, so that I can maintain packages and perform package reviews again. Here is the package review that I did: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&… My FAS id is：supercyper. Yours sincerely

SCL -- buildtime information
by Toshio Kuratomi 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

I had a chance to talk with dgilmore last week about building SCLs. From the conversation it seems that it will probably be harder to build SCLs in Fedora than it is inside of RH. Here's the summary: There's two models that we can choose from: * Building to separate targets per scl. For that model you can have a separate branch per scl. This is more or less the style that's being used inside of RH. However, in Fedora land this would mean that we need to have seperate yum repos per scl, seperate bodhi updates targets, and some way to add repo files to systems for each scl. - Note: there may be additional work as well. dgilmore asked whether the SCL model is to build once for the oldest supported OS release and then that SCL build will run on any newer OS release. If that's not the case (I didn't think it was but confirmation would be nice) then you'd need to have separate yum/bodhi/etc for every $SCL-$OSRelease combination. * Instead we could build for the main Fedora Repo. If we do this, the spec file, git repo name, and srpm package name all need to match. That means we'd have a separate git-level package for each package+scl combination. So if we had scl-php5.6 and we needed a php and php-gettext package for it we'd need separate git-level packages named scl-php5.6-php and scl-php5.6-php-gettext. dgilmore did say he'd like to test if there might be a way to separate targets building to the same tag. If he could figure out a way to do that it might allow us to have the packages stored in separate branches but build them for the same yum repositories (which might allow us to skip the separate bodhi targets as well). He'd need time to get an infrastructure setup to test this, though, so it would take a good deal of time (for instance if we're delaying F21 in order to do releng work, this might be a project for that time.) After talking with him, my recommendation would be to have separate packages. That allows us to get scls built in Fedora sooner. Otherwise we won't be able to do anything with them until the fedora.next Outer Rings become viable. I'm not anticipating that we'd have many SCLs to begin with so we'd hopefully be able to migrate those SCLs that we build at first into whatever form things take in the future. -Toshio

Should INSTALL file presented in RPM?
by Christopher Meng 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

Hi, I plan to file tickets(bugs) to notify packagers of including INSTALL files in RPMs. I think we don't have the needs to ship these files for install instructions. Any ideas? If all you agree I will start doing it now. Thanks. Yours sincerely, Christopher Meng Always playing in Fedora Project http://cicku.me
