28 Jan '15

Hi there! I have a question about this review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=889261 Is it ok to havearched BuildRequires? In my opinion they should NOT be arched, because of the reasons given in the comments of the bug. Cheers, Björn

jquery bundling for new packages
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 02 Feb '14

02 Feb '14

TIL that there are around a thousand packages in Fedora that include a file named jquery.js... [1] Anyway it is good to see efforts to tackle these kinds of problems with the Javascript and Web Assets Guidelines. :) I want to ask if the packaging of grunt and jquery blocks current package reviews of packages that bundle jquery.js? Or can they proceed for now until jquery is actually packaged in Fedora? Jens ps It is going to be a long cleanup process to fix all those packages with bundled files.

Use of %__isa_bits should be mandatory
by Marcin Juszkiewicz 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

Hi I am working on porting Fedora for AArch64 architecture. This means patching many packages and during that time I noticed lot of checks for 32/64-bit architectures. Most common one is: %global something 32 %ifarch x86_64 ppc64 s390 %global something 64 %endif Which can be now replaced to simple: %global something %{__isa_bits} And this works fine in Fedora 19 and beyond (including RHEL 7). There are also some other variations of 32/64-bit checks which could be converted. Can use of %__isa_bits be somehow announced/suggested to developers? Would cut amount of patching needed for each new architecture.

Upgrade path for Beta releases
by Mario Blättermann 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Hi all, currently I'm working on Kbarcode, which is under review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1001799 The current version is 3.0.0b3. No problem so far, but the next one will probably be the final 3.0.0. This way I don't get a proper upgrade path. Just tested with a dummy package versioned as 3.0.0b2 which I tried to update with 3.0.0: # rpm -Uvh mario-3.0.0-1.fc19.noarch.rpm Preparing... ################################# [100%] package mario-3.0.0b3-1.fc19.noarch (which is newer than mario-3.0.0-1.fc19.noarch) is already installed What to do in this case? I would add Obsoletes: %{name} = 3.0.0b3 Is this OK or have to do some other fixes? Maybe I could change the package version of the current beta release to 2.9.99? Best Regards, Mario

SCL discussion at yesterday's meeting, easy stuff
by Toshio Kuratomi 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

This is mostly just me reporting things were decided and things that the FPC seems to have decided on so I'm going to go forward with the draft assuming that this is how things are going to be. I'll send out separate emails for the other things discussed so we can discuss them in isolation. == Partial approval == FPC approved this portion of the draft: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/SCL_Guidelines_(draft)#SCL_Appro… minus the SCL Retirement section. The reason for not approving that section is that it's not finalized yet. That section will likely be voted on at next week's meeting so if you have comments on improving it, please let me know (IRC or an {{admon/question|| Comment}} in the draft will assure that I see your comment. This mailing list will let others participate in a discussion. I recommend doing both :-) == Filesystem Location == A straw poll was taken about the filesystem location of SCLs. A few FPC members were willing to use /opt but others were heavily opposed to it. Everyone was okay with using /usr/scl (or the plural form /usr/scls). So I think that needs to become the scl root dir (is that the right term?) for Fedora. FPC was okay with the idea that third parties might use /usr/scl as well. I didn't bring this up at the meeting but one thing that influences me on this is that scls are inherently rpm managed and therefore mixing both our scls with third party scls does not seem like the same vendor-OS problem that /opt was designed to fix. The location does need to include a vendor identifier. at the meeting we discussed /usr/scl/$vendor/$scl_name/ but if the vendor string made its way into the $scl_name I don't think people would object to /usr/scl/$scl_name (scl_name is like fdr-ruby1.9.3). -Toshio
