F24 System Wide Change: Change Proposal Name NewRpmDBFormat
by Jan Kurik
= Proposed System Wide Change: Change Proposal Name NewRpmDBFormat =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NewRpmDBFormat
Change owner(s):
* Florian Festi < ffesti AT redhat DOT com >
Change format of the RPM Database from Berkeley DB to RPM's own format.
== Detailed Description ==
The current implementation of the RPM Database is based on Berkeley
DB. There are doubts about the its future and level of maintenance. In
addition rpm's use of the database has multiple issues on its own. As
a result RPM upstream is working to replace the database format with a
new implementation.
== Scope ==
Proposal owners:
* Test and release the already implemented database format.
* Make sure it is supported by all important tools
- Tools using librpm should not be affected
- Libsolv is the most prominent tool accessing the rpmdb directly
and needs adjustment
*Tooling for converting existing databases.
Other developers:
* Release and update libsolv
Release engineering: None (hopefully).
List of deliverables: None
Policies and guidelines: Not needed
Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)

F24 Self Contained Change: NeuroFedora

The focus of this SIG is to package and support neuroscience and
neuroimaging applications, libraries and datasets on Fedora from the
next release on. These packages will enable researchers to use Fedora
in all aspects of their work from the design of experiments, data
collection, data processing/analysis, data modeling and simulations
through to visualization and report generation.
== Detailed Description ==
The goals of the NeuroFedora SIG were developed watching the success
of the highly lauded | NeuroDebian project in promoting the usage of
free and open source software in the neuroscience community. Their
effort has not only provided an easy means for researchers to install
packages but it has helped improve the software engineering practices
of the community as well as spawn a number of spin off developments in
terms of VM images, USB sticks and AMIs that have contributed to both
scientific research and education. We hope to use and contribute to
the work they have done to improve build systems, test harnesses and
quality assurance procedures for the community.
As with any scientifically focused SIG, there will be a great deal of
overlap with other SIGs. Like most researchers, we use Python, R and
Octave computational environments for both rapid prototyping and
established toolboxes. Each of these environments has large ecosystems
of packages and toolboxes that are widely used and make up the basis
of the Science Spin. We will complement these with the addition of big
data and machine learning tools and toolboxes that are of use to all
disciplines even though some of these developers are focused on
neuroscience and neuroimaging in particular. Finally, scientific
literature is more likely to utilize LaTeX for documents which
requires its own set of associated tools (TeXLive, BibTeX, etc.).
NeuroFedora will be an active contributor to many aspects of the
Fedora Scientific community.
== Scope ==
Proposal owners: These are a set of mostly research packages that do
not demand any changes from the main distribution. Any potential
dependencies not currently available will be packaged and included.

F24 Self Contained Change: Astronomy Spin

= Proposed Self Contained Change: Astronomy Spin =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Astronomy_Spin
Change owner(s):
* Christian Dersch <lupinix at mailbox dot org >
A Fedora Spin providing a complete toolchain for both amateur and
professional astronomers.
== Detailed Description ==
In both amateur and professional astronomy and astrophysics Linux is a
very popular operating system. More and more data analysis is
performed using Python, especially the astropy project is a quite new
effort providing a professional toolchain. The Astronomy Spin provides
a complete scientific Python environment (2 and 3) as well as the
AstrOmatic software. For observational astronomy, KStars provides a
complete solution for astrophotography using the INDI library. In
addition to an astronomical collection of packages the spin also adds
a menu for astronomy to make work more comfortable.
== Scope ==
Proposal owners: Implement this Change.
Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
Release engineering: Add spin to spin-kickstarts, ensure spin has been
tested, and release with rest of spins
Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
Trademark approval: Approved

After logging in the running Cloud instance, the user should get the
pending updates (including security) details as MOTD (message of the
day).
== Detailed Description ==
With the help of dnf-automatic package we would want to show all
updates including the security updates in the MOTD. Many other major
cloud images do the same. The corresponding bug is

F24 System Wide Change: Suds Jurko Fork
by Jan Kurik
= Proposed System Wide Change: Suds Jurko Fork =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Suds_Jurko_Fork
Change owner(s):
* Scott Talbert <swt AT techie DOT net >
Change the python-suds package to use the fork maintained by Jurko Gospodnetić.
== Detailed Description ==
Suds is a SOAP-based web service client for Python which is currently
packaged in Fedora as python-suds. This change proposal aims to update
the python-suds package to use the fork maintained by Jurko
Gospodnetić. Currently Fedora has the original version of Suds which
has not been maintained or updated since 2011. The original version
does not support Python 3.
== Scope ==
Proposal owners:
* Update existing python-suds package to suds-jurko and ensure it
builds/works in Rawhide. (NOTE: proposal owner is not currently the
maintainer of python-suds, but would intend to assume maintainership
as part of this change.) The plan is to use the latest hg snapshot of
suds-jurko.
* In conjunction with the python-suds dependent package maintainers,
help test dependent packages to ensure they work correctly with the
new package.
Other developers:
* For maintainers of packages that depend on python-suds: test the
dependent packages to ensure they work correctly with the updated
python-suds package. No changes should be needed as the Jurko fork is
believed to maintain compatibility with the original Suds.
