Python 2.7 status: python2.7 is in dist-f14
by David Malcolm
Rawhide (dist-f14) now has python 2.7
Many thanks to everyone who helped get us this far!
Jesse and I moved 931 builds [1] from dist-f14-py27-rebuild to dist-f14
about 45 minutes ago. If I'm reading the Koji logs correct [2] [3],
these packages are now available in the buildroot for F14, so further
builds for "devel" will be against python 2.7
A further 26 builds in dist-f14-py27-rebuild had newer builds in
rawhide, so we'll need to rebuild these; some are important e.g. yum and
anaconda (see [1] again).
Packages should now be built into rawhide, rather than to the
dist-f14-py27-rebuild target.
AdamW did some testing earlier using the py27 tag: "quick summary,
preliminary findings: we can update a bare f13 live install pretty much
okay, we can compose an f14 live pretty much okay (but can't test if it
boots due to unrelated issues)" ; I've also been testing in runlevel3 on
a rawhide box upgraded to the tag, and using it successfully as a
development host for fixing other builds. However, this may be impacted
by the newer builds mentioned above.
We briefly got down to 99 failing rebuilds, but there was a flaw in my
original mass-rebuild method: I had only rebuilt packages with a
requirement on:
python(abi) = 2.6
which didn't catch packages with a requirement on:
libpython2.6.so.1.0
I ran a script to rebuild anything with the second criterion that I'd
missed; these mostly succeeded, but there were some new failures.
This brings the total number of failing rebuilds to 108:
http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python-packaging/failures-2010-07-27-04....
with some new people listed there.
...plus the re-rebuilds mentioned above. I need food and sleep, so I
plan to look at these rebuilds tomorrow.
Common rebuild issues (in no particular order):
- gcc44 -> 45 changes
- gtk issues (being discussed on desktop(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,
though I believe most of the gtk folks are at GUADEC)
- swig 1 -> swig 2 changes
- configure.ac files that list python 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 but not 2.7
- any actual python 2.6 -> 2.7 issues (seemingly few of these so far)
- boost, perhaps? (looks like we need to rebuild again for the SONAME
bump)

Hope this all makes sense

Testing Fedora? Please enable SELinux if you can
by Adam Williamson
I've been asked by FESCo to post this public service announcement :)
We'd just like to remind those who test Fedora, in whatever
way...running a stable release with updates-testing, running Rawhide,
being a proven tester (especially)...that it's best if you test with
SELinux enabled and enforcing. This is the default configuration of
Fedora, so we need testers to be running with this configuration so we
don't miss problems that show up when SELinux is running.
For proven testers, I actually added a section about this to the
instructions recently -
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Proven_tester#Testing_process .
We recognize there may be situations when SELinux causes problems and
you need to make it permissive or turn it off temporarily, but please
try and keep it turned on if you possibly can, and if you're in a
situation where you need to disable it, please let the developers know
by filing a bug, so they can fix it and you can turn it back on. Thanks
a lot!

Firefox 4 for Fedora 14?
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
Are we skipping Firefox 4 for Fedora 14? Beta 2 has been released
recently and I am wondering if we can go with it if it fits into the
schedule. There are dozens of new features including WebM support that
would be nice to have.
