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 == Update the Mumble voice chat application from 1.3 to 1.4. == Owner == * Name: [[User:carlwgeorge| Carl George]] * Email: c...@redhat.com == Detailed Description == Earlier this year the Mumble project released a new major version. The full list of new features can be found in the [https://www.mumble.info/blog/mumble-1.4.230/ upstream release notes]. This change also involves several notable packaging changes. * Enable the native PipeWire audio backend * Rename the Mumble server package from murmur to mumble-server, per upstream preference * Relocate Mumble server configuration file from /etc/murmur/murmur.ini to /etc/murmur.ini, per upstream preference == Feedback == == Benefit to Fedora == Mumble is a popular voice chat application. It is commonly used for gaming and podcasts. Updating the Fedora package to the latest upstream version ensures that Fedora Linux continues to be an attractive operating system for those communities. == Scope == * Proposal owners: ** Build version 1.4.x in carlwgeorge/mumble copr ** Test copr packages ** Build version 1.4.x in appropriate Fedora branches * Other developers: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Release engineering: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) == Upgrade/compatibility impact == The Mumble developers prefer distributions to name the server package mumble-server. Currently this is named murmur in Fedora. This change renames the server package to align with upstream. The required provides/obsoletes will be added per the packaging guidelines. The Mumble developers prefer the server configuration file to be /etc/murmur.ini. Currently this file is /etc/murmur/murmur.ini in Fedora. This change relocates that file in an RPM scriptlet to align with upstream. The old path will become a compatibility symlink to the new path. == How To Test == As Mumble is voice chat software, to test this change you will need a microphone and headphones/speakers. The carlwgeorge/mumble copr repository contains the updated packages. Install the mumble package to test the client. Install the mumble-server package to test the server. If you have other Mumble servers you routinely connect to, connect to them with the updated mumble package. If you are familiar with setting up a Mumble server, set one up with the existing 1.3.x packages and then update to the 1.4.x packages. Verify that the server configuration file gets relocated as described in this change. == User Experience == Users will have the 1.4.x version of Mumble available, with all the upstream features that provides. == Dependencies == N/A == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: revert to Mumble 1.3 with an epoch * Contingency deadline: beta freeze * Blocks release? no == Documentation == * https://www.mumble.info/blog/mumble-1.4.230/ == Release Notes == Mumble 1.4 is available in Fedora 37. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-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-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
