Changelog usage clarification
by Antonio Trande 02 Jun '13

02 Jun '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I need a clarification about the Changelog section in a spec file during a package review process. In particular, pursuant to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Changelogs guidelines: > Every time you make changes, that is, whenever you increment the E-V-R >of a package, add a changelog entry. > ... Changelog entries should provide a brief summary of the changes > done to the package between releases, including noting updating to > a new version, adding a patch, fixing other spec sections, note > bugs fixed, and CVE's if any In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=966201, David says that Changelog changes' list is not necessary during package review process because it is still a "initial package" state. For all my packages and not only, every one always asks me to update the Changelog, also for a minimal modification in a package pre-review/review process. To be sure and to resolve this issue with David, I need some clarification regard to how to use properly the Changelog section since the first package review submit.

Retired eclipse-wtp-jst-web, can't access rel-eng trac to file ticket
by Gerard Ryan 28 May '13

28 May '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, I've just retired eclipse-wtp-jst-web from rawhide and F19. I'm following the instructions on the wiki[0], but I'm failing at the last step. It says: File a ticket[1] for rel-eng (component koji) asking the package to be blocked from the appropriate collections in which it is retired. I'm getting an error on the trac page saying that "TICKET_CREATE privileges are required to perform this operation". Any suggestions? Thanks a lot, Gerard.

mod_security bundling code from 3rd party
by Athmane Madjoudj 28 May '13

28 May '13

Hi The new version of mod_security (2.7.4) includes a 3rd party code: libinjection an SQL/SQL injection tokenizer parser analyzer, according to the parser developer, libinjection is supposed to be embedded into your code [1] and does not seem to be compiled as shared lib. In mod_security this library is used as an alternative approach for detecting SQL injection (vs. regex-based whitelist/blacklist). My question is: do we consider this code as a Copylibs or I should proceed with unbundling it from mod_security code. [1] https://github.com/client9/libinjection#embedding PS. I'm one of mod_security maintainer, ccing Peter and Daniel Thanks. -- Athmane

by Christopher Meng 23 May '13

23 May '13

Hi, I'm maintaining youtube-dl, however this software often has updates. So I want to know if there is an quicker way to push them to stable? Currently when I update it to x version in testing channel, it just released y version before x becomes stable. So after many times this package still roll in the testing. Thanks.
