Fedora 25 Mass Branching
by Peter Robinson 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Hi All, Fedora 25 has now been branched, please be sure to do a git pull --rebase to pick up the new branch, as an additional reminder rawhide/f26 has been completely isolated from previous releases, so this means that anything you do for f25 you also have to do in the master branch and do a build there. There will be a Fedora 25 compose ASAP and it'll appear http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/25/ once complete. Please be sure to check it out. Release Engineering

by Jan Kurik 26 Jul '16

26 Jul '16

Greetings! Today, on 2016-July-26, we have reached Fedora 25 Change Checkpoint: Completion deadline (testable) [1]. At this point, all accepted changes [2] should be substantially complete, and testable. Additionally, if a change is to be enabled by default, it must be enabled at Change Completion deadline as well. Change tracking bug should be set to the MODIFIED state to indicate it achieved completeness. Incomplete and non testable Changes will be reported to FESCo for 2016-July-29 meeting. Contingency plan for System Wide Changes, if planned for Alpha (or in case of serious doubts regarding Change completion), will be activated.

by Jan Kurik 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

As this Change is already implemented in rawhide, this announcement is done mostly for "record only" purpose to increase awareness about the changes it implements. = Proposed Self Contained Change: Node.js 6.x = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NodeJS6x Change owner(s): * Stephen Gallagher <sgallagh AT redhat DOT com> Fedora 25 will be updated to Node.js 6.x, the latest LTS release of the platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. == Detailed Description == Node.js has seen many changes between v4.x and v6.x. [There is a listing of changes documented on the wiki for [5.x and 6.x Note that this release includes API updates that may require dependency updates. Upstream maintains an exhaustive list of interesting changes here. These are just some of the changes you can find in this release of v5.x, and it's thanks to the hard work of the community and the members of team curating Node.js. Node.js 6.x will be under active development until October 2016, at which time it will enter its long-term stable release, which will be maintained actively through April 2018 (after the expected release of Fedora 27) and for security issues for another year after that. == Scope == * Proposal owners: - Update nodejs - Rebuild all binary modules, apply patches as necessary * Other developers: - Other Node.js packagers' attention may be required if the update causes issues for their packages. * Release engineering: N/A * Policies and guidelines: - No expected changes * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic

wiki editing changes
by Kevin Fenzi 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

Greetings. As noted recently, Fedora Infrastructure has had a large number of spam accounts and edits over the last few months. Our Basset application[1] has been great at detecting the accounts and spam and blocking or deleting them. However, this process has caused some confusion as spam wiki edits appear and are deleted. In addition, the results aren't accurate enough to avoid Infrastructure or other teams having to do additional cleanup manually, which isn't sustainable long-term. In order to prevent these spam wiki edits entirely, we have changed the wiki to require a user to have both signed the FPCA and be in at least one additional group (CLA+1). This may require some workflow changes for a few groups such as Fedora Ambassadors. New contributors without any group membership will need a path to membership without wiki edits. Sorry for any inconvience this may cause, but the wiki should be a quieter and cleaner place for this change. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to open a Fedora Infrastructure ticket[2] or discuss with the team in our IRC channel #fedora-admin. Thank you.
