Any idea what's up or how to fix it?


As you say it doesn't like the CA certificate:

% openssl verify -verbose -CAfile ca-cert.pem server-cert.pem
CN=ca_mysql2gem
error 79 at 1 depth lookup: invalid CA certificate
error server-cert.pem: verification failed

That CA certificate doesn't have the CA:TRUE constraint set
which might be the problem?


Seems to have been exactly that.

When I add `-addext basicConstraints=critical,CA:TRUE,pathlen:1` to the 
ca-cert.pem generation command,

the tests and the verify command then work!

Seems that magic did the trick, thanks.

be deleted or "beatified" by the mod team. The passion from our
human nature will not go away with a platform change.

That's true -- and I'm not looking to get rid of passion, or silence
opinions. But when something is _really_ out of line (often written in the
heat of the moment), it's better to have options to ... as you say,
beautify* the conversation. That makes it better for other people
participating, and better for the person who has a chance to make their
point in a more constructive way.

Oh, probably an important related feature I noticed after looking at 
Chris Adams' response,
I had a small concern about people changing messages too radically, 
where the conversation will then lose meaning,

the software actually supports history and colorful diffs.


[snip]

A discussion to a technical change, for me, will forever be in a ticket.
No matter the "wider discussion platform" projects will always have
bug trackers where one can create a ticket.

Of course. That's not what I'm talking about. Consider for example this:
https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2817. That's not about the technical decision
itself -- it's an branch of the conversation that should have been here.


biased towards those for whom it is working just fine. But, core Fedora
development discussion can’t be limited to that ever-shrinking group.
Consider who isn’t here. The problems are real, and the trend isn’t in
a good direction.

But, is it shrinking due to a platform, or something other?

I don't think Fedora contribution and activity overall are shrinking. And
I'm quite convinced that the platform is part of it.


It makes me want to try discourse out, not saying I'll stick around,

I'm glad to hear that.


I am, luckily, not paid to read forums
with no threading. IMO, a stream of posts with mentions of previous
posts is not threading. Threading begins and ends
on new topic posts AFAICT on discourse.

It's not presented as a tree, but there _are_ threads of replies.
Heh, sounds like a fun side project to try to transform it into a tree 
structure.

If you see
something like "2 replies" under a particular post, you can click that and
the view will be restricted to just those replies, which you can then follow
further.

Example:https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/future-of-encryption-in-fedora-desktop-variants/80397/83?replies_to_post_number=83
Finally, noticed what it does, it made me a bit confused as the first 
response was the same as in the "global" flow of the topic,
but the message under it changed. I think that it should be better 
visible that they are actually replies.


It seems to hide other replies and only show those that are part of the 
"thread". Do they accept RFEs? :)
I think enhancing the visibility after I expand replies for the posts in 
the "thread" would be better.



But also, yes — when something really diverges in Discourse, it should be a
new topic. A moderator can move things after the fact (like I did with
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/getting-systemd-homed-working-properly-on-fedora-workstation/81004)
but even better, when replying, you can create a linked topic. See
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/site-tip-create-linked-topics-for-deep-dives-or-tangents/34526


But I'd be happier if there was some
tangible metric how to measure if we got more *related to the topic*
engagement.
I would hate to see 20 "+1" posts from "random" users counted
towards "it is better now".

That's reasonable. Do you have suggestions for a good metric?

I'm afraid none that could be automated, but I am not one strong on metrics.
I'll just throw out some ideas:
1. Number of unique contributors
2. How many unique posts these contributors interacted with
3. "quality" of the post. I think one could go by the length and 
verbosity of the post. E.g. "Yeah seems like a good change" is not as 
valuable
as a deeper dive/analysis into a hypothetical problematic. (especially 
if we consider that the platform has +1 equivalents in reactions :))

4. Number/frequency of interactions.

Maybe a combination of 1. and 4. would have value.

But we can worry about that a bit later than "right now".




In Project Discussion, each different Fedora team can have its own tag,
and you can subscribe to those that you’re interested in. Cross-posting
is easy: tag a post with multiple teams.

I'd be interested in having a kind of "crossroad sign", to direct me
towards tags what I would care about
from a packager perspective. Not happy about this change, but it

So, I will say this is kind of a peeve of mine about server-based
discussion systems (whether web or client like Slack/Discord): allowing
people to edit messages, especially after people have replied to them,
is a bad idea.  Person 1 says "we should do XYZ", somebody replies "no
XYZ is bad", and person 1 can go change their original message to say
something completely different.
Hmm, interesting, seems like the platform is able to do a message based 
diff,


so if you edit your message, history is actually visible!

See for example this message from some of Matt's links I got open
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/future-of-encryption-in-fedora-desktop-variants/80397/65
There is a pencil with a number, click that, you can see a diff.

So I don't think that I have to be that concerned that someone will want 
to radically change their messages.



It kind of goes back to who "owns" (and I don't mean in the legal sense)
the content.  When the content is held on a server, the server owner has
an editorial control that can be problematic.

Fixing typos sounds nice, but... just don't make typos, or proofread. :)___

Re: F38 proposal: Add _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 to distribution build flags (System-Wide Change proposal)

2022-12-05 Thread Jaroslav Prokop

Hi,

This is underwhelming and I have several questions inline

On 12/5/22 20:58, Ben Cotton wrote:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Add_FORTIFY_SOURCE%3D3_to_distribution_build_flags

This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes
process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive
community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved
by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.


== Summary ==
Replace the current `_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2` with `_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3` to
improve mitigation of security issues arising from buffer overflows in
packages in Fedora.

== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:siddhesh| Siddhesh Poyarekar]]
* Email:sipoy...@redhat.com


== Detailed Description ==

Default C and C++ compiler flags to build packages in Fedora currently
includes `-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2`, which enables fortification of
some functions in glibc, thus providing some mitigation against buffer
overflows.  Since glibc 2.34 and GCC 12, there has been a new
fortification level (`_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3`) which improves the coverage
of this mitigation.

The core change to bring in this mitigation is to change the default
build flags in `redhat-rpm-config` so that packages build by default
with `-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3`. There are packages (e.g. `systemd`)
that do not interact well with `_FORTIFY_SOURCE` and will also need a
workaround to downgrade fortification to level 2. The change will also
include this override.


How come systemd gets an exception? If it is a security option, it 
should be enabled everywhere.


I do not see benefit in a security change that ignores PID 1 process,

If the feature, on the GCC side, is not 100% done.
How do I tell a difference of a bug with the _FORTIFY_SOURCE which I 
will ignore and a bug with my package?


I do not have the knowledge or the time to be able to say that GCC 
generated the wrong machine code and therefore it is not a bug with my 
package.
If my program was not complaining before the change and is now 
complaining with the change, I am opting out of the change, and filing a 
bug against GCC on Fedora.


I assume that by the package providing the exception, packagers get to 
choose themselves and we do not need to go through FESCO

to disable a security feature?


== Benefit to Fedora ==

[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nPSmbEf3HVB91zI8yBraMqVry3_ILmlV2Z5K7FZeHZg/edit?usp=sharing
Analysis of packages] in Fedora rawhide indicate that the improvement
of mitigation coverage is on average over 2.4x, in some cases
protecting more than half of the fortified glibc calls in the target
application.

This change will thus harden Fedora to a significant extent, thus
making it a more secure distribution out of the box.


1) Is there some complete source for all these findings? If google 
sheets cannot handle all the "raw data" as noted in the comment,

maybe it is the wrong medium.

2) What does *anything* on that google sheet mean. I have managed to 
figure out, from the article, that bos and bdos correspond to level 2 
and 3 of _FORTIFY_SOURCE.
However, total of /.*/? Violated accesses? Segfaults? Then followed by 
"Sum of total". For rubygem-ffi, this reaches into hundreds while "bdos" 
is 2. That is the only sum I can make, with the data provided.

I am no wiser from looking at it, what do the data mean?

3) I cannot speak to much else than Ruby, I do not see ruby in neither 
the failures or "All x86_64". Should we attempt to test it ourselves?


Please provide a proper "how to test" section, I cannot fix what I 
cannot test or compare results when I have no idea what I am seeing.


Actually, last time I heard about number of packages, it was around 50k 
(not source, build result), and as I stated,
Ruby is missing, and so are quite a few dependent packages that should 
have GCC involved somewhere:

~~~
$ dnf repoquery --whatrequires "*libruby.so*" --disablerepo="*" 
--enablerepo="fedora" 2>/dev/null | grep -v "i686" | uniq | wc -l

115
~~~

If we also filter rubygem-* packages that depend on the *libruby.so* 
(and most probably contain a binary extension written in C/C++ that 
links to Ruby), I get 68 packages.
When I search "All x86_64" for "ruby" I get 28 packages. That is... not 
adding up.



== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: Post a merge request to redhat-rpm-config with the
actual change to build flags.

* Other developers:
Resolve bugs filed for build failures, either by fixing the bug
exposed by `_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3` or by disabling `_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3` for
the package if it is a false positive or if the package is unable to
adapt to the change.

* Release engineering: Mass rebuild required
* Policies and guidelines: Guidelines should include workaround for
packages that fail to build with `-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3` due to a
false positive.
I'll just ask, what is a false positive. How can I tell. What are the 
steps for this.

* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)


== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
No ABI

It would provide with what is lost with CentOS Linux.
Let's entertain an example:

That is for me use case that would benefit from LTS. I would've used 
CentOS Linux but that won't be enough because CentOS 8
is EOL roughly next year. I could use Fedora server but that has too 
quick a release cycle and I don't have the time to check
that everything is running right so often. Instead I would like LTS 
system that I comfortable with, which is from the RHEL ecosystem.
But I don't see sense in running paid RHEL instance that would be only 
serve as my hobby project server.
So with those out of the picture I would probably have to settle for 
something like Ubuntu LTS.

However that is not the solution I'd like to see.

If I understood the announcement, it would be a kind of CentOS streams 
is rolling release or a release with short

If I remember correctly and not making it up there was a discussion some

I think it was dismissed because we had CentOS providing LTS stability. 
But now it does not seem like
we can rely on long term stability. Maybe it's time to revive that

I am starting to get really confused on Fedora's position here. Are we

Are we prelude for software before it gets on CentOS streams or maybe

Re: Java Dev Group and Fedora Quality

Hi Bill,

On 25/01/2020 23:06, Bill Chatfield via devel wrote:

In another case I tried to set up a Fedora system to run games, as that is what 
kids want to do. That was an utter failure because Fedora can't run any game 
that kids want to run today. The ability to run games cannot be underestimated 
because that is how you get the younger generation interested. That isn't 
really the fault of Fedora, I'm just mentioning that as an example of how, in 
general, the experience of the end-user is not being taken into account. And 
Fedora is failing to capture and retain users.


As a young person interested in Fedora and also in gaming I must 
disagree on this.

I run lots of games on wine with great success.

There are exceptions that either are a result of some messy coding
(e.g. Dragon age Origins' aliasing when it crashes on me when going over 4x)
or of the developers deliberately not wanting to support a portion of 
community (e.g. Rust and Vulkan
or Apex legends disabling anticheat support for Linux clients for some 
reason).


It became much much easier with steam proton where I can run even games 
as old

as "Star Wars: Republic Command" without problems.

All in all, we have wine, dxvk, winedb (which I use when something goes 
wrong)

and I run games from various companies with varying release dates.

Cheers,

Jarek

Re: Help with rubygem packaging

2019-12-03 Thread Jaroslav Prokop

Hi,

great to see someone taking up on some rubygems!

to the packages, the rubygem-linked-list as mentioned by Fabio have 
binaries that will probably have name conflicts with some other packages.


Secondly rubygem-hrx should not have `Requires: rubygem(linked-list)`[0] 
because that dependency is automatically generated from package's 
gemspec. So rubygem-thor will get pulled in as well as a result.


I highly recommend running the test suite in %check section[1], since 
ruby cannot catch some basic stuff at compile time (because there is no 
compilation :) ) unlike with let's say Java.


Also I think you can submit package review requests with the state it is 
in and there we can help you with each package in their own bug threads, 
even if you have no experience.


Cheers,

Jarek

Re: Wayland hangs (black screen) after dnf update to Fedora 29

Hi everyone
TLDR; I had a working Wayland Gnome Desktop in f28. Not anymore with f29.

Yesterday, I "dnf upgrade" my f28 to f29 ... to find a black screen 
when I want to login to my Gnome session :(


The boot is OK till the gdm login screen, but when I enter my 
password, the screen turns black, and the keyboard is locked 
(non-responsive, Num Lock does not toggle, nor caps lock).
Then I don't know how to recover control, as no key binding is 
effective, no mouse, no screen :(I power off the machine)


I successfully launched the desktop using "startx" from my user 
account after booting with runlevel=3, so I think there is an issue 
with Wayland !


> lspci|grep "VGA"
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM206 [GeForce 
GTX 960] (rev a1)
I used to install the nvidia drivers, after each kernel upgrade. I did 
that, as usual using:

> ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-410.73.run

Where should I look to have more information about what's wrong with 
my system ?

Which component should I report on BZ ?
What additional info would be helpful for knowledgeable developers ?


Hi,

I'd consult with this guide in section 2 [0] it's a more common issue I 
myself encountered this, I stayed with older drivers for now.


From the post: "Note Fedora 29 users: GDM is not currently working 
properly. I get black screen when I try to login any desktop. Gnome 
3.30.1 works, but you will need some other display manager than GDM"

nonresponsive packager

2017-12-30 Thread Jaroslav Prokop

Hi,

I am trying to reach Anuj More and so far unsuccessfully. He has package 
repository created, but he never imported anything [1].


I have tried his email anujmo...@gmail.com last Wednesday but I haven't 
heard from him yet.


There is reopened bug of one of his packages [2], to which he has not 
responded yet.


Does anyone know how to contact him?

Self Introduction: Jaroslav Prokop

2017-11-30 Thread Jaroslav Prokop

Hi everyone,
 
my name is Jaroslav, Jarek for short, I am 16 years old student, I live and 
study in Brno, Czech Republic.
I am beginner in the world of programming, right now I am working on becoming 
rpm packager.
For now I will be packaging ruby software and I am building my first Fedora 
packages [1] [2].
I am not experienced much and still pretty young, but I am working my way to 
knowledge, but I am glad I can give my part to this awesome open source project.
If you´re interested to know more about me, we could do some Q
