F27 strange rpmbuild failure
by Steve Grubb
Hello,
I am building a package locally and run across a failure that seems to be
unexplained. It gets to the install phase and then abruptly fails with the
following build log:

Is the output from sepdebugcrcfix indicating a failure? If so, how do you fix
this? If its not this, its really weird because there is plenty of disk space
and no other indication that something is wrong.

Expenses and Reimbursements through the end of the year
by Brian Exelbierd
Hi All,
I am sending this out to multiple lists to get it wide exposure. Red Hat let me know about the year end closing dates in an email yesterday. In order for me to be able to get our items resolved on time, I need to request the following:
1) All reimbursements must be filed and paid by 15 February. This means you have to get your trip reports done and the receipts uploaded in time for the regional card holders (or me) to get you reimbursed by that date. The money can be in flight to you, but must have been sent from the CC.
2) Card Holders, please stop using your cards on the 15th of February at the close of your day local time.
3) Community members who happen to be Red Hat employees should also have everything processed and communicated to me so that we can ensure that your paperwork is submitted by 15 February as well. This is because of the extra processing load in many regions for cost transfers.
These two actions are the best things we can do to ensure that our expenses land in this fiscal year and are not subtracted from our next fiscal year.
If you have events which are going to happen after 15 February or a reason why you cannot get reimbursements submitted until after that please contact me. I have more direct access to systems than the card holders do and may be able to help. However, in general, you should expect to see these late charges removed from any budget that is allocated next year.
As always, I am happy to help so don't hesitate to contact me.
regards,
bex

Writing Documentation for Fedora - Docs FAD
by Brian Exelbierd
We are looking for interested people who are willing to write docs in person for one week. You don't have to be an existing docs team member to participate. It helps if you're familiar with AsciiDoc, but if you're not, it's easy to learn.
You'll hang out with other people interested in making Fedora documentation the best in the world. Fun will be had, but mostly it will be the sort of fun which involves sitting in a small room intensely focused on writing and editing. If that's *your* idea of a good time, this will be a good experience for you.
You can find details about the FAD, including the goals here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Documentation_2018
The Fedora Council has approved funding and we will make selections based on the ability to the person asking and within our approved travel budget. https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/174
Interested? Open a Pagure ticket in the Fedora Docs tracker here: https://pagure.io/fedora-docs
Please include:
- Your Name/FAS
- Why you want to come and what your background in writing (of any kind) is.
- Any specific areas of interest
- Location you will travel from
We will start picking people ASAP.
Thanks,
bex & Matthew

Self-Introduction Christian Glombek (lorbus) / NEEDSPONSOR /
NEEDREVIEWs / Let's Meet @ DevConf or FOSDEM!
by Christian Glombek
Hello World!
My name is Christian Glombek (or simply Chris :) and I'd like to join the
Fedora Packagers Group. I'm currently a student of Electrical Engineering
and Business Management at RWTH University in Aachen, Germany.
My FAS and IRC handle is `lorbus` and on GitHub and Twitter I'm
`LorbusChris`. I've been using Fedora for two or so years on my daily
drivers, very much to my satisfaction.
Fedora's focus on modern concepts, especially container technology,
intrigues me. Its community to me has always seemed open, friendly, diverse
and knowledgeable.
I also feel that Fedora's sponsor Red Hat has established a symbiotic
relationship with this community, transparently supporting a quite
remarkable and rightfully successful business model.
I feel passionate about Open Source Technology and would like to
participate!
Over the past few months I've been feeding my interests in some corners of
the extended Fedora universe, mainly tinkering with RPM and Ansible
Playbook Bundle (APB) packaging and also trying out custom Atomic/OSTree
builds (love Atomic Workstation!).
RPMs:
NEEDSPONSOR
I want to get some packages into Fedora proper and I need a sponsor for
that!
I'd also hugely appreciate (unofficial) reviews or any other feedback for
the following packages:
coturn-rpm:
NEEDREVIEW
BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1491492
COPR: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lorbus/coturn/
Repo: https://github.com/LorbusChris/coturn-rpm
libreoffice-online-rpm:
NEEDREVIEW (later, WIP)
BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1494915
COPR: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lorbus/libreoffice-online/
Repo: https://github.com/LorbusChris/libreoffice-online-rpm
Note:
The frontend part of libreoffice-online, loleaflet, uses `npm install`
during build (versioned with a npm-shrinkwrap file). From what I've read
about packaging nodejs modules, I'll probably have to manually download and
add all module sources to the rpm. WIP.
rspamd-rpm:
NEEDREVIEW (later, WIP)
BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1494914
COPR: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lorbus/rspamd/
Repo: https://github.com/LorbusChris/rspamd-rpm
Note:
I'll have to gather some more info about bundled softwares, possibly split
out some existing dep packages.
ragel-rpm / colm-rpm:
I also did some work updating the already-existing Ragel (dep of Rspamd)
and Colm (dep of Ragel) rpms and was consequently asked by current repo
maintainer Jason Taylor (jtaylor) to take over the position, which I'll
gladly do once I've found a sponsor and get the privilege of joining the
packagers' group!
I'd like to try out Modularity packaging for Ragel as it has two release
streams, stable and development, of which only the latter is in Fedora.
(I made a ragel-compat rpm for the stable release stream, which can be
found on COPR, but I believe Modularity's arbitrary branching would be a
perfect fit here!)
COPR ragel-compat:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lorbus/ragel-compat/
APBs:
I also like the idea of the Kubernetes Service Catalog, in conjunction with
the Ansible Service Broker (and Ansible in general) and so I did some
tinkering with Ansible Playbook Bundles, the packaging format for the
Ansible Broker:
awx-apb:
Repo: https://github.com/LorbusChris/awx-apb
Note:
APB to broker (provision/deprovision) Ansible AWX.
Can also be used as an alternative installer for AWX deployment on
OpenShift.
openshift-acme-installer:
Repo: https://github.com/LorbusChris/openshift-acme-installer
Note:
Installer for https://github.com/tnozicka/openshift-acme
Non-standard privilged (cluster-admin) APB, can be used as installer, not
currently for brokering.
Eventually, I'd like to see FreeIPA, Dovecot, Postfix, Rspamd, Clamd,
NextCloud, LibreOffice Online, Prosody and Coturn all packaged for Fedora
as RPM and Docker and for K8s Service Catalog as APB for use in a little
pet project of mine:
https://github.com/contor-cloud/contor (WIP)
Expect to see me around on the IRC, too! I'll be saying hello in the
relevant channels in the coming days.
If you have any questions or maybe have a task for me at hand, please let
me know!
Attending Conferences
In December I met up with Fedora Ambassador Till Maas (till) for tea here
in Aachen and was given answers to lots of my questions regarding Fedora.
Thanks again, Till!
He also encouraged me to attend conferences, which is why I will be at:
- DevConf.cz, Brno, Jan 26-28, that's this Weekend!
- CentOS Dojo, Brussels, Feb 2
- FOSDEM, Brussels, Feb 3
- Config Management Camp, Gent, Feb 5-7
I hope to meet some members of the community there in person! Please feel
free to ping me if you're there! :)
I'm looking forward to participating and contributing here!
Best regards
Christian Glombek

Self Introduction Matthew Ruszczyk (mruszczyk) NEEDSPONSOR / NEEDREVIEW
by Matthew Ruszczyk
Hello,
My name is Matthew, I'm interested in joining the Fedora Packagers Group to
package a piece of software called whipper. I am a 27 year old network
administrator at a small company in Pennsylvania, US. I've dabbled in open
source software for years and Fedora has been my main distribution for a
large chunk of that time. I love it's focus on cutting edge technology.
I have been working to package an application called whipper that I hope to
get into fedora proper. It is a fork of an older application called
morituri that is focused on ripping CDs accurately using libcdio-paranoia.
Up until now the package clobbered an existing morituri install so I was
hesitant to submit it but today they tagged a new release that fixes that
issue. I largely began packaging it for my own needs but would love to give
back to the fedora community and maintain it properly. I'm most often found
in #whipper on freenode if anyone has any questions for me.
Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1541566
COPR: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mruszczyk/whipper/
Repo: https://github.com/JoeLametta/whipper
I hope I can get some constructive criticism and be a valued member of this
community.
Matthew
