Conflicting build-ids in nekovm and haxe
Hi list, Re. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1896901 Since haxe-4.1.3-4 and nekovm-2.3.0-4, both nekovm and haxe packages contains "/usr/lib/.build-id/b0/aed4ddf2d45372bcc79d5e95d2834f5045c09c". The nekovm one is a symlink to "/usr/bin/neko". The haxe one to "/usr/bin/haxelib". Both the neko and haxelib binaries are built with libneko, with a nearly identical main.c with the only difference of the present of neko bytecode embedded as a byte array (neko: the byte array is null; haxelib: the byte array is the haxelib neko bytecode).

That issue is simply not something we have observed at any time back when this untagging was still allowed. (And it was even possible as self-service without involving rel-eng at all, because the Rawhide tag used to be open before gating was introduced.) In the worst case, if some build(s) depends on the untagged build(s), the dependent build(s) can simply be untagged as well. It is definitely possible to revert to a consistent state, because one such consistent state trivially exists: the one where *all* builds built after the untagged build get untagged as well. But the minimal set of builds to untag is typically much smaller, if it is even larger than a singleton (a set consisting only of the one build you want to untag to begin with). If the untagged package is a leaf package, the set is even guaranteed to be a singleton (but that is not even a necessary condition, only a sufficient condition).

The one that keeps getting brought up is Tomcat, but I can tell you from my personal experience that the Fedora Tomcat package has always been working just fine (not only as a build dependency, but for its intended use as a web application server: I use it to locally test Java web applications). > I think it's better to label them as such and find positive ways to > encourage the collaboration I think we all agree is best, rather than the > current state where we basically just pretend that everything is > maintained with high attention. I think that if a maintainer is not able to offer a package the attention they think it needs, they should ask for help, not mark the package as unsupported or hidden. That is how the collaborative approach is supposed to work. Now, if no help shows up, that can only mean one of two things: * either the package is actually working so well that no help is really needed, * or nobody actually cares enough about the package to give it more attention. In both cases, the package is working well enough for what is actually needed and there is no need to give it any special marking. But the situation into which we want to get is that the help is not only requested by the maintainer, but that comaintainers actually sign up for it. But that requires upholding a cooperative environment. Privatizing build dependencies by marking them as "lightly maintained" achieves the exact opposite.

A small handful individual maintainers wants to use some library/infrastructure package(s) for their package builds, but at the same time excuse themselves from actually maintaining those library/infrastructure package(s). This may be more convenient to the minority that gets to "lightly maintain" those packages, but at the cost of offloading technical debt to the entire remainder of the community, both the majority of maintainers (who would benefit from having the library/infrastructure package(s) fully maintained as a potential build and/or runtime dependency of their own package(s)) and the end users (who would benefit from having the library/infrastructure package(s) fully maintained to build local software, and in some cases, such as Tomcat, also to use them directly). I still believe that this concept is inherently incompatible with the idea of a cooperative community distribution, and that bringing it up again and again with minimally changed wording is not a constructive thing to do. I can see why RHEL has a business case for having such "second-class citizen" packages, but this is not how Fedora works or should work.

Yeah, it's kind of complex there. "Pre release" is after 'go' at a 'go/no-go meeting'. At that point updates _are_ pushed to stable, but they populate the updates repo, they no longer are part of the base release packages. The document doesn't make that part very clear tho... it folds in the above with the time before go... perhaps it could be clarified.

After we tried the first mass rebuild of ELN packages in a sidetag, several issues were found by gcc maintainers. Jeff has more info on that, but afaiu one issue is related to glib2 and waits for the upstream fix. Once the issue is fixed we may try new ELN mass-rebuild in the sidetag, before doing any real updates in the buildroot itself. Exact timing is yet to be defined. We will be running this mass rebuild with the lowest priority, so that it won't get in the way of regular Fedora builds.

This kind of "oh, the *real* spec file is in another castle" approach is just impractical for distributions. It's always a problem, but it's *especially* a problem if the distribution spec file does not indicate the existence of the "upstream" spec in any way. As is the case here. You cannot expect another Fedora packager to look at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rdma-core/blob/master/f/rdma-core.spec and know that there is an "upstream" of that file, because *nothing in it tells them that there is*. If you're going to have this kind of "upstream" spec file...well, I wish you wouldn't. But if you do, *AT MINIMUM*, the "downstream" spec files need to have a clear explanation that there is an "upstream" spec file, with a justification as to why, and a link to it. At the very top.

libcap-ng update coming to rawhide
Hello, A new version of libcap-ng is going to be released next week. Normally this isn't newsworthy, nor is this a soname version bump. But it is important to let the broader community know something about it. The behaviour of capng_apply is changing slightly. In the past, capng_apply would silently eat errors when the bounding set could not be changed. In order to change the bounding set, you have to have CAP_SETPCAP. A developer reported an issue in github where their project needed to know that capng_apply was completely successful changing the bounding set. Meaning that they need an error returned. I didn't think too much of it and made the change. Then one day I noticed that I could not update a package against Fedora's git or push a change. Looking into this, I found gnome-keyring was not working. [1] I dug into the source code and found that it was trying to change the bounding set when it had partial capabilities. The fix is to simply verify that you have CAP_SETPCAP before attempting this. I don't know of any other software that is affected. But I wanted to give everyone a heads up before I push it out. I always dogfood libraries I work on, so maybe this is the only issue. Eventually libcap-ng needs to get pushed over to F33 because there is a problem with ambient capailities that the new release fixes. And speaking of ambient capabilities, the new version of libcap-ng contains a new library libdrop_ambient.so. You can use it with LD_PRELOAD to force an app to drop ambient capabilities leaving the other capabilities intact. All the work is done in the constructor, so no function calls are needed.

systemd v247-rc2 (app.slice, oomd, udev rule changes, light deps)
Hi, we're getting ready to push systemd 247-rc2 to rawhide. This is currently blocked by selinux (see below), but I wanted to give a heads-up. There's a number of changes which are interesting for Fedora: - user units (under user@nnn.service) are segregated into app.slice, session.slice, background.slice. By itself this doesn't do much, but it'll allow e.g. kernel memory protections to be applied to session.slice, ensuring that gnome-shell remains responsive even with high memory contention. This change requires further changes from desktop environments to put appropriate units in the respective slices, so the changes in systemd are just the beginning of the process. - systemd-oomd and oomctl are available, but should be considered "technical preview" (backwards-incompatible changes may still happen). oomd doesn't do anything without configuration, so for anyone interested in this, now is a good moment to experiment with policy settings and suggest some defaults to upstream. - udev rules might need to be adjusted to handle new "bind" and "unbind" events emitted by the kernel. Despite multiple attempts, we couldn't find a way to handle this change in udev in a way that would preserve compatibility with existing rules. See the NEWS file [1] for details. - some non-essential libraries are now loaded using dlopen(). Dependencies in packages have been downgraded from "Requires" to "Recommends" (libpwquality, libqrencode, libxkbcommon, libidn2, libcryptsetup). This will result in smaller installation footprint, but users may need to explicitly install some dependencies. (This only matters where install_weak_deps=False, i.e. not on normal user installations.) - nss-resolve now talks to systemd-resolved using a direct varlink connection, instead of a dbus connection through the system broker. This means that name resolution using resolved is available immediately after resolved is up, while previously it required dbus-broker.service to up, which happens relatively late. There's a bunch of other changes too, see NEWS [1]. The new version is not built in rawhide yet because we're waiting for the selinux policy update [2]. (The biggest problem is selinux policy blocking the check if selinux is enabled ;)). Builds are available in side tag f34-build-side-33917 [3].

I don't agree with the new name. The original libibverbs package only includes the VERBs API library. https://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/libibverbs/ In 2016, user-space drivers/providers, such as libmlx4, had been merged libibverbs. We may should keep libibverbs only includes the VERBs API library. And create a new sub-package as "libibverbs-providers". I will discuss this with upstream. > I don't see how a spec file change is a "regression", there's nothing RHEL rdma-core builds are based on Fedora builds. Each time, when update upstream rdma-core for RHEL, I will pull changes from Fedora repo if such changes should be applied for RHEL too. The divergence between Fedora and upstream makes my work complicated. I just checked RHEL-9 nightly build, the libibverbs-core package already in RHEL-9.

This sounds very good! I don't particularly like the Ubuntu subvolume layout (which is a subset of the openSUSE subvolume layout), so having Timeshift adapted to support our layout (or even custom layouts in general) would make this much better. :) I expect that what you're trying to do should be feasible, especially since it's been done before with Snapper (which unfortunately lacks a GUI). -- 真実はいつも一つ!/ Always, there's only one truth! ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org

I don't fully understand the difference > between the Beta during final freeze and Pre release... I think you are splitting one "phase" into two: "beta" and "pre-release". That should be just one phase called "pre-release". The "final freeze" block is part of that one phase, similarly to how "beta freeze" block is part of "pre-beta". I read the PR again, and it seems to me that the text matches my description above, i.e. it only has one phase. > As a side note, it would be nice to have a link in > docs.fedoraproject.org main page to the fesco section, I currently can't > found and didn't know he existence of it before you posted the link ;-) +1 > [1] https://pasteboard.co/JzTXVfv.png That picture is great. It would be nice include it in the docs, except that we'd need the "source" version (svg?).

Timeshift for Fedora with BTRFS
Hi, I just recently joined the Fedora train and am very excited about it. As I am a developer of timeshift-autosnap and timeshift-autosnap-apt, I wanted to have the same functionality in Fedora 33. The idea is that when one runs a dnf update or upgrade command, timeshift should automatically create a btrfs snapshot. So basyically the same functionality of zsys in Ubuntu with ZFS, but with Timeshift. The idea is, whether one likes it or not, Timeshift is quite popular in the Linux user space (and gets mentions on the Linux podcasts all the time). Having it work on Fedora with BTRFS would be quite an asset in my opinion, and make btrfs more user-friendly (as users can see in a GUI that snapshots happen instantenously). Anyways, Is there interest in the Fedora devel community here or is the development actually going another direction? I am working on a fork of Timeshift (https://github.com/wmutschl/timeshift), where currently I hardcoded the BTRFS subvolume layout of Fedora 33 into Timeshift and it works as it should without renaming the subvolumes to @ and @home (which is also possible). Now the next steps (in my opinion or maybe someone has better ideas) would be to: 1. Make an interface inside Timeshift to set the names of the BTRFS subvolumes and try to get it merged upstream. 2. Adapt timeshift-autosnap (or timeshift-autosnap-apt) for dnf (e.g. create a dnf plugin similar to the snapper plugin) that makes automatic snapshots before any DNF operation. 3. Add the autosnap functionality (of pacman, apt, and hopefully dnf) also into Timeshift and get it merged upstream. Is that a feasible plan? Any feedback is very much appreciated!
