RPM-level auto release and changelog bumping - Fedora 33 System-Wide Change proposal
by Ben Cotton 13 Aug '22

13 Aug '22

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/rpm_level_auto_release_and_changelog… == Summary == redhat-rpm-config will be updated so users of the auto framework get automated release and changelog bumping. == Owner == * Name: [[User:nim| Nicolas Mailhot]] * Email: <nicolas.mailhot at laposte.net> == Detailed Description == This is a system-wide change because all packages build with redhat-rpm-config, but it only concerns packages that opted to use this part of redhat-rpm-config (auto framework). The change will make those packages auto-bump and auto-changelog at the rpm level, in an infrastructure-independent way. == Benefit to Fedora == Autobumping removes a huge packager shore and makes timestamping in changelogs more reliable. == Scope == * Proposal owners: The feature is coded and works at the rpm level. Unfortunately, mock filters away the srpms containing the bump state, so it does not work in upper layers. * Other developers: The feature requires buy-in by mock developers (and probably koji developers) to lift the restrictions that block it above the rpm level. Also, it requires a mechanism to pass the user name and email that will be used in bumped changelogs (defining two variables in ~/.rpmmacros is sufficient at rpm level) * Mock issue: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/issues/599 * Release engineering: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/9567 * Policies and guidelines: maybe eventually if things work out on the technical level * FPC issue: https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/998 * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) == Upgrade/compatibility impact == This is a pure build tooling update, it changes how things are built not what is built. == How To Test == A redhat-rpm-config packages with the changes and some example packages are available in https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nim/refactoring-forge-patches-auto-… Since the mock/copr layer is currently blocking the feature, you need to install the redhat-rpm-config and forge macro packages available in this repo locally. Afterwards you can take any of the example packages in the repo and rebuild them with rpmbuild -ba to your heart content, and see the releases bump and the changelogs being updated accordingly. To get beautiful changelogs, you also need to add <pre> %buildsys_name Your name %buildsys_email Your email </pre> in ~/.rpmmacros == User Experience == N/A Packager experience change only == Dependencies == The change is a spin-off of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Patches_in_Forge_macros_-_Auto_macro… Therefore, it depends on the success of that other change and will probably need rebasing if the code in this other change evolves during the redhat-rpm-config merge. It also depends on mock / copr/ koji buy-in and changes, that may add their own requirements. == Contingency Plan == There is no contingency plan because the change will happen or not at all. == Documentation == There is as much documentation as the average redhat-rpm-config change (ie comments in the macro files themselves) == Release Notes == N/A Packager productivity change only -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis

Hi Luya I'm sending this email to packaging Mailing List ... I'm also facing problems with some fonts packages, see this error [3].

Announcing LLVM Snapshot Packages for Fedora Linux
by Konrad Kleine 08 Oct '21

08 Oct '21

Dear Fedora packagers, developers and users, we have some good news for you: We are beginning to build nightly snapshot packages of LLVM for the latest versions of Fedora Linux (currently 34, 35 and rawhide) for a growing list of architectures. You can grab them here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/fedora-llvm-team/llvm-snapshots/ Feel free to enable the copr repository with $ dnf copr enable @fedora-llvm-team/llvm-snapshots and then install the i.e. latest clang with $ dnf install clang Beware, that a snapshot release of LLVM is probably more unstable than a regular release! If you run into a problem, I would kindly ask you to wait and try it again with the next snapshot. We hope you enjoy this peek into the next version of LLVM that you can now try without too much hassle and without compiling it every day on your own. Regards, Konrad Kleine Senior Software Engineer, Platform Tools Red Hat <https://www.redhat.com> kkleine(a)redhat.com M: +49(0)151/21000244 D87A 77F4 2A58 C72D 12A7 203B C0A0 2C32 BCB7 3099 <https://www.redhat.com>
