Blocker bug process proposal: waiving late-discovered blockers to
next release
by Adam Williamson
Hi, folks!
So, during the blocker review process in the last few cycles, we have
several times come up against the unfortunate situation that a bug that
in the usual course of events would block a release is discovered
extremely late - say the day before the go/no-go meeting - and at least
some folks have argued that it's sometimes appropriate to not block the
release in this case.
This position has gained quite a bit of acceptance, and we agreed at
the F26 Final go/no-go meeting to draft up some formal policy for this
so we can make such decisions consistently and not in an ad hoc way
that might lead to it becoming a loophole that gets abused.
So, here's my proposal for that. The actual guts of the 'review
blockers' process are kind of split between
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process and
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting , so we could
kinda document this in either, but my preference is for the former. I
propose we add a new section to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process , called
'Exceptional cases' or similar, as a sub-section of the 'Reviewing
blocker bugs' section. This is my proposed text. Note that it also
covers another type of case we have occasionally come across in the
past, but similarly never specifically formulated.
##################
=== Exceptional cases ===
Generally speaking, any bug that is agreed to be a violation of the
[[Fedora Release Criteria|release criteria]] should be accepted as a
blocker bug for the next relevant milestone release.
However, as explained in the [[Fedora_Release_Life_Cycle|Fedora life
cycle page]] and the
[[Fedora_Release_Criteria#Release_Constraints|release criteria]], we
consider Fedora's release process not to be strictly based on time
''or'' strictly based on quality, but to take both into consideration.
This can mean that, in some exceptional circumstances, we may agree
that a bug constitutes a sufficient violation of the release criteria
that it would ordinarily be accepted as a blocker bug for the next
milestone release, but in fact accept it as a blocker bug for a later
milestone release.
There are currently two established circumstances in which this may
occur.
Firstly, it may occur if it is agreed to be very unlikely that the bug
can possibly be fixed within a reasonable time frame for the release to
be made. For instance, fixing the bug may be a task of such technical
complexity that it cannot possibly be achieved for several weeks or
months, and it may be held that such a delay would be too disruptive to
Fedora's development to be justified.
Secondly, it may occur if the bug is discovered very late in the
release validation process. Sometimes, a relatively less important
blocker bug (such as a non-vital default installed application on a
release-blocking medium failing to run, for instance) may only be found
very near the end of the release validation process, too late for it to
be reasonably possible to fix it without delaying the release. Again,
we may make the determination that in such a case it is preferable to
go ahead with the release rather than delay it to fix such a late-
discovered bug.
All such cases must be evaluated and discussed by the usual parties
(usually at a blocker bug review meeting) and all relevant factors must
be taken into account, much like the discussion of a bug that is a
'conditional' violation of the release criteria. At least the following
will almost always be relevant:
* The severity and likely prevalence of the bug
* Whether the bug could, or should, have been discovered earlier
* How long the release in question has already been delayed
* Whether delaying the release may give us an opportunity to carry out
other desirable work
* The possible effects of the expected delay (to Fedora itself, and
also to other things influenced by Fedora's schedules, including
downstream projects)
It is expected that in almost 'exceptional' cases, the bug will be
accepted as a blocker either for the very next milestone release, or
for the equivalent milestone for the next release (e.g. if this
'exceptional' provision is agreed to apply to a bug that otherwise
would have blocked {{FedoraVersion|long|next}} Final, it should be
accepted as a blocker either for {{FedoraVersion|long|next2}} Alpha or
{{FedoraVersion|long|next2}} Final).

That's a bit wordy (suggestions for cutting it down are appreciated!),
but I think it covers all the salient points. Thoughts? Concerns?
Suggestions? Thanks!

Introduction/looking for a sponsorship
by Robert-André Mauchin
Hello,
My name is Robert-André and I'm looking to become a packager for Fedora.
I'm 33 years-old Frenchman. I first tried GNU/Linux in the late 90 with Debian and what was
then Mandrake. Back then with no Internet, I remember It was tough to get set up and find
help. After a Windows period, I got back to Linux in 2005 with Ubuntu's Hoary Hedgehog
release. It was simple, almost everything worked out of the box, and I could work without
having to « look under the hood » to make it work.
Following what I thought was questionable relations between Ubuntu and upstreams, and their
choices to reinvent the wheel, i decided look for alternative distributions. First Debian which
was close to what I've been using, and then Fedora. I had some reservation about Fedora
because last time I had tried one (Fedora 16, Verne), the package manager was quite slow
compared to apt-get. And this meant a lot to relearn. But I was quickly conquered by its simplicity
and its « freshness ». And then dnf came around, it was fast and easy to use, and I haven't left
Fedora since then.
Thanks to the French fedora-fr wiki which explains step-by-step how to make your own package,
I've recently started to package my own things using the COPR service:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/eclipseo/
And now I'm looking to get them into Fedora. I've learned Fedora Packaging Guidelines, and how
to use the various tool like rpmbuild, fedpkg, mock, Koji…
Here's a few of the projects I want to include:
- rclone: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1473314 This Go app allows you to sync your
files among different Cloud services. I had to unbundled it so it spawned a dozen of new packages
to build (see the dependencies).
- qdirstat: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1476201 It's an app that allow you to track
how your disk space is used, like k4dirstart, but written in Qt5.
- libva-intel-hydrid-driver https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1475962 This driver enables
video hardware acceleration for VP9 decoding on Skylake/Kabylake platforms. (dependency cmrt:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1475961)
Since I proposed my packages, I've also started to do other reviews:
- libcbor: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1474694
- clustersos: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1476438
- danmaQ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1471806
- xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1476489
- libsemigroups: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1476085
- tpm2-abrmd: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1475228
So if you like my work so far, please consider sponsoring me for the packaging team o/
Thank you.

F27 System Wide Change: perl Package to Install Core Modules
by Jan Kurik
= Proposed System Wide Change: perl Package to Install Core Modules =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/perl_Package_to_Install_Core_Modules
Change owner(s):
* Petr Písař <ppisar AT redhat DOT com>
dnf install perl will install all core Perl modules that come with
Perl upstream sources.
== Detailed Description ==
Upstream releases Perl interpreter together many Perl modules. This
set of modules is called core modules. Fedora splits the modules into
subpackages so that installing perl package results in stripped-down
set of modules. Fedora documents this as a feature and provides
perl-core to metapackage that allows installing all the core modules
as is intended by upstream.
Unfortunately this seems to be confusing to Perl users because Fedora
is the only distribution doing so.
To align Fedora's behaviour to upstream and other distributions this
change will rename perl package to perl-interpreter and perl-core
package to perl'. This will allow installing all core Perl modules
with dnf install perl while still retain the possibility to install
only a minimal perl interpreter (/usr/bin/perl) with dnf install
perl-interpreter.
This change will also update Fedora Packaging Guidelines for Perl to
all spec files that require perl to use perl-interpreter instead.
There is only 81 binary packages affected. They will rebuilt.
Otherwise no mass rebuild won't be necessary.
To ease sharing spec files with older Fedoras, perl-interpreter
provide will add to perl package there.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
- Submit Fedora Packaging Guidelines for Perl update to Fedora
Packaging Committee.
- Update and rebuild perl source package.
- Add Provides: perl-interpreter to perl package in older Fedoras.
- Replace BuildRequires and Requires for perl with perl-interpreter in
all spec files.
- Rebuild packages with replaced Requires to propagate the change to
repositories.
- Replace perl-core with perl in compose groups definition.
* Other developers:
Get familiar with new Fedora Packaging Guidelines for Perl.
* Release engineering:
No action needed. Request to check of an impact with Release
Engineering: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/6842
* List of deliverables:
Anything what contains perl package
* Policies and guidelines:
Fedora Packaging Guidelines for Perl update request (
https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/690 ) to use perl and
perl-interpreter instead of perl-core and perl.
Trademark approval:
N/A (not needed for this Change)

debuginfo repository matching f27-build
by Florian Weimer
Is there are debuginfo repository matching the contents of the f27-build
buildroot repository?
This would be extremely helpful for verifying the presence of .gdb_index
sections in separate debugging information.
Thanks,
Florian

Finalizing Fedora's Switch to Python 3
by Miro Hrončok
Hello fellow Fedora contributors,
We've created a page on Fedora wiki [1] that's something like a Change
proposal*.
The document is called "Finalizing Fedora's Switch to Python 3" and it
describes steps needed in order to:
* Switch /usr/bin/python to Python 3 in cooperation with Python upstream.
* Switch `dnf install python-foo` to install python3-foo.
* Hopefully eventually get rid of Python 2.
This is all planned to line with the fact that Python 2 will be dead
upstream by 2020.
The first phase of the changes is planned for Fedora 30, which is pretty
far away today, but the proposal involves changing thousands of
packages. Hence we'd like to have something we can use to support our
efforts.
I'd like to gather feedback for the document: whether the changes are
understandable and make sense, whether you think we should do things
differently, etc.
[1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FinalizingFedoraSwitchtoPython3
* It involves steps in multiple releases, so we were advised not to
create a multi-release Change proposal, but instead split it into more.
This page summarizes it all an individual Change proposals will follow.
Thank you,
--
Miro Hrončok

Two more concrete ideas for what a once-yearly+update schedule would
look like
by Matthew Miller
Trying to make this idea a little more concrete. Here's two suggestions
for how it might work. These are strawman ideas -- please provide
alternates, poke holes, etc. And particularly from a QA and rel-eng
point of view. Both of these are not taking modularity into account in
any way; it's "how we could do this with our current distro-building
process".
Option 1: Big batched update
1. Release F26 according to schedule
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/26/Schedule
2. At the beginning of October, stop pushing non-security updates
from updates-testing to updates
3. Bigger updates (desktop environment refreshes, etc.) allowed into
updates-testing at this time.
4. Mid-October, freeze exceptions for getting into updates-testing
even.
5. Test all of that together in Some Handwavy Way for serious
problems and regressions.
6. Once all good, push from updates-testing to updates at end of
October or beginning of November.
Option 2: Branching!
1. Release F26 according to schedule.
2. July/August: branch F26.1 from F26 (not rawhide)
3. Updates to F26 also go into F26.1 (magic happens here?)
4. No Alpha, but do "Beta" freeze and validation as normal for
release.
5. And same for F26.1 final
6. And sometime in October/November, release that (but without big
press push).
7. GNOME Software presents F26.1 as upgrade option
8. F26 continues in parallel through December
9. In January, update added to F26 which activates the F26.1 repo.
10. And also in January updates stop going to F26.
Some of this idea, by the way, is reminiscent of Spot's suggestions at
FUDCon Lawrence in 2013. This is not completely coincidence - I always
liked those ideas!

FAILED: BuildError: package ... not in list for tag f27-pending
by Jos de Kloe
Hi,
I'm trying to do a build for the python-metar package (first time since
I adapted it after it was orphaned), but I constantly get this error
when I try to do a fedpkg build:
FAILED: BuildError: package metar not in list for tag f27-pending
does anyone know what is wrong, and how to solve it?
Could it be related to the fact that I renamed the spec file from
python-metar.py to metar.py in git?
(I did that since rpmlint gave me the error "E: invalid-spec-name")

Live image booting issue with locally built anaconda
by Kalpa Welivitigoda
Hi,
I am trying to build a live image (with livecd-creator) based on Fedora 26.
In doing so I patch a couple of packages (I maintain them in a local rpm
repository) including anaconda. However with the iso built with the patched
anaconda rpm, I don't see the GUI in booting. The screen goes blank after
sometime and the login screen doesn't appear.
Then I tried to build anaconda without any patches and still the result is
the same.
So I suspect the issue is with me building anaconda locally. What I did was,
1. I downloaded the srpm of anaconda with dnf
2. extracted the anaconda.spec file modified it to have the patch (my patch
is there in the SOURCES directory)
3. built the srpm, and from that a mock build to get the rpm, and updated
my local rpm repository with the built anaconda*.rpm files.
Any help to identify and fix what may have gone wrong is highly appreciated.
