See the policy text I cited: "ABI changes in general are very strongly discouraged, they force larger update sets on users and they make life difficult for third-party packagers." Two, if you *are* for some reason absolutely forced to make an ABI change in a stable release, I think you absolutely should be on the hook for making sure all dependencies are fixed. Even if one of their packagers is non-responsive, you can send a pull request and ask a proven packager to merge it after a sufficient period of inactivity. I don't think it's practical at present to expect this for Branched or Rawhide, which is why I'm not proposing it for those branches, but I think it is reasonable in the *exceptional* and *unusual* case of ABI changes in stable releases. Three, if for some reason it is absolutely necessary to *both* change an ABI *and* break some dependents of it in a stable release, I think it is not particularly onerous to require you to file a waiver. The filing of the waiver effectively acts as a record of the fact that you were aware of your update breaking dependent packages and that you are willing to defend this as being in some way correct or necessary. -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @adamw@fosstodon.org https://www.happyassassin.net

Proposal: gate all stable release updates on rmdepcheck
by Adam Williamson 06 Jul '26

06 Jul '26

Hi folks! I want to formally propose an idea that has been kicked around a bit informally lately: gating all stable release updates on the relatively new rmdepcheck reverse dependency static checker. This would include Fedora and EPEL updates. rmdepcheck: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/rmdepcheck rmdepcheck fails if the update under test, when compared against the current buildroot repository, contains unsatisfiable dependencies, or causes new unsatisfiable dependencies to appear in other packages. So if your update makes some other package uninstallable...that's a fail. This check has been running on all updates for some time now. We've dealt with various sources of false failures and I'm fairly confident it's pretty reliable by now. Gating all updates for stable releases on it would mean you could no longer ship updates with detectable dependency issues, unless you waive the failure - which implies explicitly taking responsibility for shipping a broken package, or breaking another package. I don't want to gate Rawhide or Branched on rmdepcheck yet, because sometimes it's kinda realistically necessary to bump an soname without being able to fix every single dependency, or something. But I think (or rather, Carl George pointed out - thanks, Carl) it's more reasonable for stable releases. After all, the update policy specifically says: "Updates should be carefully considered with respect to their dependencies. An update that required (or provided) a new Python ABI, for example, would almost certainly not be allowed. ABI changes in general are very strongly discouraged, they force larger update sets on users and they make life difficult for third-party packagers." EPEL has similar stability expectations. Implementing this is technically trivial (it just requires adding a new rule to the greenwave policy), but it's obviously a pretty significant change, so I thought I'd propose it here and on Discourse for discussion first. I don't think it's a good fit for the Change process. You can browse existing rmdepcheck results in resultsdb, if you want to look for false failures. Go to https://resultsdb.fedoraproject.org/results , click the Search button, set the 'testcase' to 'fedora-ci.koji-build.rmdepcheck.functional' and hit Go! That'll give you the last month of results. You can tweak the date range, and also search only for failed results, if you like. It's slightly awkward because currently results are reported per package, so testing an update with 500 packages in it produces 500 results that link back to the same execution. I do want to change it to report per update rather than per package, but I don't think that needs to be done before we start gating. -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @adamw@fosstodon.org https://www.happyassassin.net

2026-06-22 - Fedora Quality Meeting - AI summary and minutes
by Adam Williamson 06 Jul '26

06 Jul '26

AI summary: ### Key Discussion Points * **Flock and Devconf Retrospective:** * A session on moving tests to dist-git PRs produced a list of improvements for Fedora CI. * A new system for tracking critical path packages is in development, which could be used for dependency gating in Rawhide. * The 14-day gating period for `@critpath-build` packages was discussed as being problematic for items like macro packages. A better design is needed. * Improvements are planned for LukÃ¡Å¡ RÅ¯Å¾iÄka's LLM-based openQA failure analysis tool. * Packit bodhi updates should soon start CCing package maintainers. * **Fedora 45 Status:** * The OpenSSL 4 update has landed and broken FreeIPA replication tests, which are being temporarily bypassed in Rawhide. * Rawhide updates were also recently blocked by `haveged` build failures, which has been resolved by disabling its use in the FreeIPA tests for now. * The latest F45 build appears to be stable. * **Community and Events:** * A kernel 7.1 test week is expected to be scheduled soon. * A call for new maintainers for the Packager Dashboard and Oraculum has found two volunteers, but more are welcome to join via the devel mailing list thread. ### Action Items * Someone needs to send out the call for Fedora 45 test days.
