University people in Fedora: Education/University SIG
Hello everyone, This is a follow-up email for some "coffee discussions" we had at flock a few weeks ago. Sorry for the delay! The Fedora community contains a lot of university students, many of us packaging tools for their courses and acting as first-level Linux support for the local student community. The problems we encounter and work on are not identical but share a common base: it only makes sense to collaborate. We found (over a few flock coffee breaks) 5-6 fedorans interested in joining such an initiative and are currently creating a SIG as a mean to communicate. We haven't decided on anything yet, except that we would like to work together to make Fedora an accessible platform for student and courses in an university context. We expect overlapping interests and collaboration with others SIGs, especially if related to the academic world such as NeuroFedora or ML. We are aware of the dormant Education SIG [1] but have yet to discuss how to position - or integrate - ourselve. A slightly more detailed description can be found on the related wiki page [2]. I invite you to add your name to its members section you're interested to work with us. We will figure out communication and coordination mediums around next week.

Re: Discussion around app retirements and categorizations by the CPE team
Hello, I do not think it would be good for apps.fp.o to simply disappear: although outdated, it does a pretty good job improving human-discoverability of our services. I understand that longtime or active contributors are not really affected but I believe the index to be helpful for newcomers (as it was in my case). From apps.fp.o's README [1]: > Right now, the apps side of Fedora Infrastructure feels scattered and all > over the place. It seems like I learn that a new thing exists every couple > weeks and it seems like there's not a single easy place where you can stumble > into everything. Can we perhaps move the index to the main docs on [2] and replace the current apps.fp.o by a simpler, intemporal page, linking to the updated list? Having the page out of the 'standard' documentation workflow doesn't help keeping it up-to-date... I will gladly take care of the changes. Any thoughts?

Active but unresponsive maintainer: Peter Lemenkov
Hello, Peter Lemenkov [0] is an active packager (he submitted a new erlang build to bodhi an hour ago) but I was unable to contact him for the last two months. I first "encountered" him when he used his rights as provenpackager to merge some PRs on the elixir package, without thoughts for the ongoing discussions. He even submitted builds to bodhi but we *never* got any message from him. I'm now trying to contact him over RHBZ #1434779 [1] but am still unable to get a response. Does anyone know how to contact him ? Mail, IRC, RHBZ, Bodhi and src.fp.o failed.

virt-bootstrap: libvirt and SELinux issues
Hello,
I'm trying to package virt-bootstrap [0], but various tests fail due to
SELinux. I know some selinux basics from redhat's selinux manual [1],
but am unsure about how to approach the issue.
For example, the following command - extracted from a failing test -
fails due to SELinux:
```
virt-sandbox -c qemu:///session --name=bootstrap_26639 -m
host-bind:/mnt=/tmp/tmps77ywg1n_bootstrap_dest -- /bin/tar xf
/tmp/tmp8gca1fzq_bootstrap_tarfiles/b52c708f02ff0ee783331f23f723ed9123dfc72994e19d1c33f3bd5db723007a.tar
-C /mnt --exclude "dev/*" --overwrite --absolute-names
```
```

scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:svirt_t:s0:c422,c725
tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:gconf_home_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0
```
I also attached the related specfile to this email. I would appreciate
if someone could take a few minutes to redirect me.

Packaging and dependencies
Hello, Let's say I want to package a program depending on libraries which are not (yet) part of Fedora. Is the following procedure correct ? 1) Submit a review for the original package, and a review for each dependency. Mention into the reviews how they are linked to the original submission. 2) Wait for all the reviews to be accepted. 3) Build the packages for the dependencies in rawhide. 4) Build the original package in rawhide, against the dependencies previously built. I didn't see this case in the wiki [0], did I miss something ?

Self Introduction: Timothée Floure
Hello, I just submitted my first package submission [1] to the official repository. I guess it's time for an introduction : I'm a computer science student from Lausanne, Switzerland. I've been running on linux for 6 or 7 years now, and came back from archlinux [2] to fedora a few months ago. Asides from my studies, I work part-time at my university's IT desk and I'm part of an association promoting linux and FOSS in general accross the campus. I also have some experience on system administration but I'm not really familiar with redhat derivative on servers (running debian everywhere). Well... nice to meet you ? :) Best Regards, [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1477567 [2] probably due to the lack of policy -- Timothée Floure signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
