If you visit fedoraproject.org and click on "Download now", you'll get a 64-bit x86 desktop live image. Those are our de-facto target users. The proposal under discussion actually broadens that slightly by making it clearer that we offer three separate first-class products for three different user-cases. You seem to be arguing for a different scenario, one where arbitrary subsets of the Fedora package set are advertised equally. That's not the status quo, and so I think you need to follow this proposal's lead and come up with a solid argument for how your position improves Fedora and what technical and policy changes are needed to get there. > So in other words what to take from your response is that you are > saying that you do not want increased participation in the project > as whole and or only for specific areas of the project? I want increased participation in the creation of Fedora, which is a product with a defined set of software shipped as default. I'm also happy with people working to make it practical to use Fedora as the basis for derived products (such as the spins and remixes), providing that they don't compromise the product that we're producing. -- Matthew Garrett | mj...@srcf.ucam.org -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct

No, never saw this project before. Yeah, it sounds like it uses similar ideas to speed-up, but has different purposes and tries to know the file-system internal format, and hence, does not support ext4/btrfs simply because, as I guess, they are too complex and are developed too quickly. It is just too difficult to maintain a parallel implementation in user-space. Bmaptool does not know anything about the internals of the file-system. It does not care what is the FS underneath. bmaptool simply use the FIEMAP ioctl and ask the FS about which blocks are mapped (used). This would not work for partimage since it needs to know about all the blocks (superblock, all the other meta-data blocks), not just blocks belonging to a single file. Now, why I said that ext4 is the best one to use on the server (most probably ext2/3 are as good, but I did not verify). This is because ext4 is "perfect" in leaving the gaps. Even if you have one block gap, it still will account it as unmapped. I have a test where I create random mapped areas, and ext4 keeps all the gaps. But BTRFS sometimes maps small 1-block gaps. This is related to its internal structure. So with btrfs the bmap file becomes less ideal. Anyway, thanks for letting me know about partimage. -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct

retiring gpointing-device-settings
The package currently fails to build and upstream appears to be dead. Even the working package does not save settings. https://wiki.gnome.org/GPointingDeviceSettings https://git.gnome.org/browse/gpointing-device-settings/ Problem: This is a useful package that controls touchpad settings. I have tried xfce4-mouse-settings from xfce4-settings but this obviously doesn't work since XFCE uses xfconf. Does anyone have any alternatives or suggestions? Otherwise we are losing some important functionality for GTK based desktops. One alternative is to fork xfce4-settings and migrate it to gsettings. Any feedback welcome.

Ideally, we avoid tying ourselves down, but I think any such recommendations would be based on the level of support we're able to give to those things, and, again, how how they fit the goals we define. As I see it both the labels of "default" and "recommendations" cannot be apply to a community which provides multiple application and solutions and "best effort" in maintaining that by an fluctuating number of any given contributors at any given time. >Given that the above proposal are not direct products of SIG's who's >in control of what goes in and what goes out of the Fedora >Workstation, Fedora Server, and Fedora Cloud and their target >audience ? I think it's reasonable to have more formally-structured Fedora teams for each of these things. What do you think? What I think in that regard is that the SIG or sub-community already have established an governing structure around themselves,their target audience and the product they have decided to deliver to their target audience so adding an additional layer on top of that will have negative effects on the ecosystem they have established for themselves and live in. >As I see it the above part of the proposal only splits the "default" >product into three different "products" without actually solving >anything. These particular suggestions came from looking at some of the different requirements the project has overall, and concluding that no single default really addresses them well, but that these three areas cover important areas, each worth investing resources in. Which areas are of importance is in the hand of the beholder. In other words each sub-community and what they are doing is important to them and those "three" areas by no means cover all the sub-communities that currently exist and might exist in the future of the project thus from my perspective this proposal thus is flawed and not future proof as the community continues to expand. With regards to resources investment pulling resources from one aspect of the project to put them into another will only cause imbalance within the overall existing ecosystem but you have to be a bit more clearer what you mean by "each worth investing resources in" as in where are those resources coming from or taken from and what are they? >Since I dont see how that you propose addresses and or solves any of >the issues we are faced with I argue the way forward for us should >be that Fedora "products" are the results/publication of each >sub-community but not creation of whom releng/fesco/board specific >Fedora individual or as an whole Fedora Workstation, Fedora Server, >and Fedora Cloud SIG? Can you rephrase this? I'm not sure I understand. If you can articulate what you mean by "issues we are faced with", that would help, too. We have competing projects,products or application if you will in the project that are aiming at and competing for the same user base.

Criteria for adding new ARM boards to F20 support list
Hi everybody, In today's ARM meeting in #fedora-meeting-1 we started the discussion on the procedure for supporting new ARM devices in Fedora 20. Previously this was done in an ad-hoc manner by the ARM team. While we will continue to enable as diverse a set of devices as possible, this is specifically about what devices are considered supported in a GA release. As an example, in Fedora 19 we supported the Trimslice, but not the AC100, even though they are both Tegra 2 devices and in theory may both work. Many unsupported devices may work, but only a select few can be release blockers. Starting in Fedora 20 / kernel 3.11, we think the following devices may be newly supportable: Calxeda Midway with LPAE Wandboard (i.MX6) Utilite (i.MX6) AC100 (Tegra 2) BeagleBone Black & White More than anything, this is about minimum requirements for QE. Support implies testing, release blocking, etc, so growing the matrix needs to approached cautiously. There is also a question of timing- what is the cutoff for adding a new release blocking device? Alpha? Beta? Is it a feature request? Feedback appreciated. -- Brendan Conoboy / Red Hat, Inc. / b...@redhat.com -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct

Sorry, just seeing this discussion now. What happened was that the newest version of osm-gps-map added gobject introspection, so Python bindings can be automatically generated. The older python-osmgpsmap bindings I believe are deprecated now. I haven't had the time to set up a rawhide system to do any testing though but probably what needs to happen is make sure that anything that used the older bindings get ported and then the old bindings be retired. AFAIK the only thing that used the bindings is Gramps, but I haven't used that in a long time and turned over ownership. -- Jeff Ollie -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct

Yeah, I was hoping to have discussion from Flock written up nicely for us to talk about at this meeting, but given the time and that I haven't eaten _breakfast_ yet, I don't think that's going to happen. For this meeting, I have several separate proposals: 1. In order to build what we need for the future of Fedora, FESCO endorses the idea of moving from a one-policy-fits-all-software policy to a tiered model as roughly laid out in http://mattdm.org/fedora/next, and recommends this to the board as the technical underpinning of our strategic direction. 2. FESCO-created working group to draft Fedora Base Design as called for in that proposal. Has fesco already created that working group if so who's on it? 3. FESCO-created working group to draft Ring 2 policies and infrastructure needs. Has fesco already created that working group if so who's on it? Also, not yet ready for a proposal but maybe for discussion: * These products would be Fedora Workstation, Fedora Server, and Fedora Cloud (precise definitions to be developed), based around a common core shared wherever possible and with infrastructure for other groups based around other possible products to develop. The above does not solve historic problem and differences in our community and arguably gives us no benefits of implementing over what we currently have. For example what would be the default desktop in the "Fedora workstation" and why ? Would we be defaulting and or recommending one application over another in "Fedora server" for example openldap vs 389ds, kvm vs xen, postgresql vs mariadb if so why? Given that the above proposal are not direct products of SIG's who's in control of what goes in and what goes out of the Fedora Workstation, Fedora Server, and Fedora Cloud and their target audience ? As I see it the above part of the proposal only splits the "default" product into three different "products" without actually solving anything. Since I dont see how that you propose addresses and or solves any of the issues we are faced with I argue the way forward for us should be that Fedora "products" are the results/publication of each sub-community but not creation of whom releng/fesco/board specific Fedora individual or as an whole Fedora Workstation, Fedora Server, and Fedora Cloud SIG?

If you have a working package for scala you may send me it, so I may commit it into the repository and initiate the update for F19. As a co-maintainer I have tried to create a package for scala-2.10.x without success. I was able to built the package locally, but the build failed on koji. That is the reason, that the current state of the scala git repository on Fedora is in a accident state.

Right. Less worrying about what the Board thinks, more worrying about what FESCo thinks. If those two entities wind up not agreeing, then we can discuss that. As for the Board, I'm hoping to bring up the future direction stuff as a topic we should at least be paying close attention to in the next meeting. Having something from FESCo to review would be great too. josh -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct

F20 System Wide Change: Migrate to Bluez 5
= Proposed System Wide Change: Migrate to Bluez 5 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Bluez5 Note: post deadline exception to coordinate BlueZ 5 effort as upstreams were not clear to move to it in the time of submission deadline. Change owner(s): Bastien Nocera, Kalev Lember, and the desktop SIG BlueZ is the Linux Bluetooth stack for managing wireless Bluetooth devices. In Fedora 20, we are going to switch from BlueZ version 4 to version 5. == Detailed description == The BlueZ project recently released BlueZ version 5. Compared to BlueZ version 4, the new release brings new features and improvements, however it is also accompanied by a significant API change. The BlueZ versions 4 and 5 are not parallel installable, and we need coordination between various parts of Fedora to switch over at the same time. This is coming late after the Change Proposals Submission Deadline. As this affects various critical parts of the distribution (KDE, GNOME, NetworkManager, pulseaudio), we wanted to be sure it is feasible to switch everything over at the same time, and were considering postponing it to Fedora 21. However, upstreams have made good progress with porting over to BlueZ 5 and we feel it would be beneficial for Fedora to switch over during the Fedora 20 timeframe. == Scope == BlueZ 5 uses a D-Bus API that's not compatible with BlueZ 4 and as such, management applications and a number of libraries and daemons need to be ported. * Proposal owners: This is a change affecting many parts of the distribution. The proposal owners, supported by the rest of the Desktop SIG, are going to take care of updating the BlueZ package to version 5 and porting over gnome-bluetooth, NetworkManager, and PulseAudio packages. * KDE SIG: The bluetooth stack for KDE is BlueDevil. It has a git branch with BlueZ 5 support and the Fedora KDE SIG will handle updating the package to a git snapshot. * Desktop SIG: For GNOME 3.10, Gustavo Padovan and Bastien Nocera have been porting gnome- bluetooth, NetworkManager and PulseAudio to BlueZ 5, and the Fedora Desktop SIG will ensure these get updated to the BlueZ 5 versions in Fedora. * NetworkManager team: ... will ensure the relevant NetworkManager changes land in Fedora 20. * MATE team: mate-bluetooth has not received much upstream attention recently and is likely to not get ported to BlueZ 5 in time for F20. However, the Fedora MATE maintainers are looking into switching back to using gnome-bluetooth, and creating a panel applet for MATE that uses gnome-bluetooth underneath. An initial prototype is available at https://github.com/NiceandGently/bluetooth-panel-applet * Other developers: Bluez4 and Bluez5 are not parallel-installable, and incompatible, so other applications relying on Bluez4 will need to be ported by their respective maintainers. * Release engineering: No release engineering coordination required. * Policies and guidelines: No changes needed in the packaging guidelines. ___ devel-announce mailing list devel-annou...@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct

Or not sharing js, fonts and other assets from a shared directory? I was checking an application like Roundcube. Patching it requires change a few files because web apps have no standard way to use those files, It is easy to find assets files than locating where it is used and test if you aren't missing something after you patch it. There is need to update the patches every time a new version make the patch invalid. or check if a new file is linking to them What about replace the files on the application directory (/roundcube) using the webserver related configuration for that like Alias Alias /roundcube/path_to_jquery/jquery.min.js /usr/share/javascript/jquery/jquery.min.js The list of the files should be generated anyways, the Java guidelines explicitly say that the packager should remove other bundled software and upload a modified source package (I think this makes easier to say an application is GPL and not GPL + Apache + BSD... on the spec license field), probably web application should do the same We can add rpm macros to generate roundcube-httpd, roundcube-cherokee, roundcube-nginx, taking the mapping list and generating the equivalent of the Alias of Apache for those web servers, a lot of the current packaged applications have a dependency on Apache, and sometimes there is no need for that The spec authors have expressed that they have no intentions of mandating that the packager must use the shared directory, that they can import the files to the application namespace, so why not make the later it the standard way? That would provide a way for dependent packages to express "hey, I just need you on the server-side" and another way to say "hey, I need you served over HTTP". But then, what do we want to do about fonts? Adding *-webfonts subpackages to every font package would be a lot of work, and makes that awesome WordPress usecase I mentioned much, much harder. What about CSS? Do we really need a css-bootstrap for when someone wants to create a locally run HTML5 application with something like node-webkit and another webcss-bootstrap for when they really want it served over HTTP?

I wasn't aware Debian already exported a directory for this. (But "/javascripts", really?) It would be nice if they wrote that into their policy. We still need something for CSS frameworks and such, but maybe we could drop the underscore and have: /sysassets/ -> for CSS, theming, etc. /javascripts/ -> for JS The httpd maintainer would really prefer if we didn't use something that could potentially conflict as easily as "/javascripts" though.

First tests shows me that the removed panel code from gnome-bluetooth isn't independent from the the rest of the code. I quess for this reason the gnome dev didn't remove /usr/lib64/gnome-bluetooth/libgnome-bluetooth-applet.so.0, which is in latest upstream. Ok, i need really help to create such a package. But there is also another simple solution gnome-bluetooth dev should add the removed (fallback) panel applet code back. I'm pretty shure that is more easier for someone who knows the code to do that. If gnome-bluetooth is the only client after the bluez5 switch which is working in fedora, than it should be work for all desktops, imo. So adding the applet back would be a noble gesture from gnome to other desktops ;) PS: i think cinnamon is also affected, because so far i know use cinnamon blueman code in the momment. But i'm not shure in this point. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct

SHA-256 is used to create the signatures of other distributed files: https://fedoraproject.org/static/checksums/Fedora-19-i386-CHECKSUM Therefore if bmap is used it should also use at least SHA 256.

I think I covered this part in the documentation. But here is a short description. 1. The bmap file should be created just after the image is generated. 2. The blocks where zeroes were explicitly written will be mapped to real sectors which will contain zeroes. 3. The blocks which were not explicitely written to, will be unmapped. 4. Creation of the bmap file is done using the FIEMAP ioctl 5. Only unmapped blocks will be omited in the bmap files. While on this, I should note that this works best on ext4 file-system. I did not test ext2/3, but they should work as well as ext4. Btrfs was also tested, but it is a little bit worse than ext4, I can explain why if someone is interested. > It works well for unassigned file > systems blocks, but if there is a file containing zeroes in the file > system (that is not a sparse file) it might not contains zeroes > afterwards as far as I understand bmap. It will, those blocks will be explicitly specified in the bmap file. And the zeroes will be copied. And this is exactly why I said that 'cp --sparse=always' does not generate the correct bmap file, I used it only for demosntration purposes. In bmap-tools project we have the 'BmapCreate' python module, which implements bmap file creation, you can use it in the Fedora image build tool for generating the correct bmap file just after the raw image is created. > This does not sound like > something that is safe to do. It is safe, we are using it for a year already in Tizen IVI, so it is somewhat tested as well. Of course, Tizen IVI community is a lot smaller, but still, this is some indication of safeness already. -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct

This does not sound safe, because it does not ensure that all data that should be zero actually is a zero. It works well for unassigned file systems blocks, but if there is a file containing zeroes in the file system (that is not a sparse file) it might not contains zeroes afterwards as far as I understand bmap. This does not sound like something that is safe to do.

Greetings to everyone My name is Simon (Arjuna), but i also listen to the name of my FAS account "sea". In IRC i listen to the name seasc. I'm a hobby coder more than half of my life and a computer enthusiast in general. Not beeing a specialst for anything, i'm a generalist for everything. I've been selfemployed 10 years ago as a Computersupporter for KMU/SMC, later worked for an insurance and an international production company as Senior VIP Supporter. I love using Fedora as it matches (almost) my natural cycle of setting up my computers with a fresh installation of an OS. About 2¼ years ago i've joined the linux community dropping Windows usage to an absolute minimum, Fedora hasnt disapointed me a bit! :) This is the 3rd selfintroduction, as its the 3rd packagereview request, thank you Mario Besser, but therefor i dont know what to write further, as it feels like everything been said before. Anyway, i'm happy to join and hope to learn alot along the way. Have a nice day. -- Simon A.
