pytest 3.0 in rawhide
by Thomas Moschny 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Hi, this is a heads-up about the pytest update to version 3.0.3 that just hit rawhide. A number of incompatible changes were made in 3.0.0 compared to 2.9.2. See http://doc.pytest.org/en/latest/changelog.html for the full list of changes and new features. If you got this email directly, then your package (SRPM) depends on pytest. Please check, whether it builds and works with the new pytest release. This especially holds for the pytest plugins, some of which definitively need to be updated to support pytest 3.0. Here's the list of packages that (according to dnf repoquery) build-depend on pytest: copr-frontend copr-keygen freeipa python-astropy python-coveralls python-django-pytest python-docopt python-gabbi python-lib389 python-pytest-cache python-pytest-capturelog python-pytest-cov python-pytest-mock python-pytest-multihost python-pytest-pep8 python-pytest-runner python-pytest-sourceorder python-pytest-spec python-pytest-testmon python-pytest-timeout python-pytest-watch python-pytest-xdist python3-pytest-asyncio Thanks, Thomas

Fedora Notifications System recent issues and Fixes
by Kevin Fenzi 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Greetings. The Fedora Notifications System, available at: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/notifications/ Is a way for interested parties to be notified when events occur in Fedora. This system currently allows for IRC and/or Email notifications of events, as well as "digesting" a specified number of messages or any messages in a specified time. Recently the digest processing had a number of issues: * Some users had selected very large time frames or number of messages and the resulting digest messages were too large to be accepted by our mail server. * Over sized digests also resulted in no processing of additional digests in the queue. * Digest processing was interrelated with the non digest processing, making it difficult to debug or test changes. * When the digest queue was very large, the IRC handler couldn't get enough processing time to join the network. * When the queue was very large testing fixes required processing all the queue and only then producing digests. This resulted in no digests being sent at all. We have taken the following steps: * Digests that are 'too large' are split into chunks that are acceptable to our mail server. If they are still too large for some users email providers, they will be dropped after retries. * Digest processing is now separated from non digest processing allowing for debugging and fixes that don't affect the real time notifications, as well as not blocking IRC workers from joining the network. Unfortunately, in landing our fixes a bug was introduced that split digests too soon, resulting in incomplete digests after a few characters. This has been corrected and any new digest notifications should be complete. We are sorry for any inconvenience these issues may have caused. Please report any issues you find with the notification system to https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure (our config or deployment) or https://github.com/fedora-infra/fmn (upstream bugs/issues). Thanks, kevin

Fedora 25 Beta Freeze
by Mohan Boddu 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Hi all, Today is an important day on the Fedora 25 schedule[1], with two significant cut-offs. Today is the Beta freeze[2]. This means that only packages which fix accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs[3][4] will be marked as 'stable' and included in the Beta composes. Other builds will remain in updates-testing until the Beta release is approved, at which point the Beta freeze is lifted and packages can move to 'stable' as usual until the Final freeze. Finally, Today is the '100% code complete deadline' Change Checkpoint[5], meaning that Fedora 24 Changes must now be code complete, meaning all the code required to enable to the new change is finished. The level of code completeness is reflected as tracker bug state ON_QA. The change does not have to be fully tested by this deadline'. Regards Mohan Boddu [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/25/Schedule [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Milestone_freezes [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process [4] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process [5] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Policy

F26 System Wide Change: OpenSSL 1.1.0
by Jan Kurik 16 Sep '16

16 Sep '16

= Proposed System Wide Change: OpenSSL 1.1.0 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/OpenSSL110 Change owner(s): * Tomas Mraz <tmraz AT redhat DOT com> Rebase of OpenSSL package to 1.1.0 version == Detailed Description == Update the OpenSSL library to the 1.1.0 branch in Fedora to bring multiple big improvements, new cryptographic algorithms, and new API that allows for keeping ABI stability in future upgrades. We will also add compat openssl102 package so the applications and other dependencies which are not ported yet to the new API continue to work. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Prepare and test rebased openssl package. Prepare and test compat openssl102 package. Help with patching and rebuilding dependent packages. * Other developers: Patch and rebuild your package if it uses OpenSSL library (proposal owner will help). * Release engineering: N/A unless we decide that separate branch is needed. Mass rebuild will not help as the packages have to be patched for the API changes. * List of deliverables: N/A * Policies and guidelines: N/A * Trademark approval: N/A -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic

F26 System Wide Change: DNF 2.0
by Jan Kurik 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

= Proposed System Wide Change: DNF 2.0 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DNF-2.0 Change owner(s): * Jan Silhan <jsilhan AT redhat DOT com> * Michal Luscon <mluscon AT redhat DOT com> * Igor Gnatenko <ignatenko AT redhat DOT com> DNF rebase to version 2.0. == Detailed Description == DNF-2.0 is the next upcoming major version of DNF package manager. Unfortunately, it brings some incompatibilities with previous version of DNF (DNF-1) which were either needed to preserve compatibility with YUM CLI or where bigger redesigns were needed. A list of identified incompatible changes can be found here http://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dnf-1_vs_dnf-2.html == Scope == Proposal owners: * complete release notes * deliver DNF-2.0 stack to Rawhide Other developers: * Owners of 3rd party DNF plugins or components depending on DNF should check and adjust their packages otherwise they may not work with DNF-2.0. Release engineering: * All release engineering tools that depends on DNF should be tested against DNF-2.0. -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic

Proposed mass bug filing for webkitgtk/webkitgtk3 package removal
by Michael Catanzaro 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Hi, I propose to carry out a mass bug filing with the bug title: "Remove webkitgtk/webkitgtk3 dependency" (depending on which package is dependend on) and following text: """ The webkitgtk/webkitgtk3 package will be removed from rawhide after Fedora 26 is branched due to the high number of unfixed security vulnerabilities. You must remove this dependency or your package will not be present in Fedora 27. Please refer to [1] for a FAQ on this matter and be advised that for some packages this may require a substantial amount of work. [1] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedorapro ject.org/thread/AKVB363GFCHHJ5MTHGVYHYT6NLLTF5VM/ """ Michael
