yum-arch : plan to be orphaned
Hi, This old stuff allow to create header for EL-4 repository. As RHEL-4 will go EOL at the end of the month, I plan to orphan this package (in rawhide, will keep it in fedora 17) Any objection ? (As far as it's still work, and have no open bug, it's not a big problem to keep it in the repo if needed by someone) Remi. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Intent to orphan gpodder in EL-6 branch
Looking at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/794971 (and its now depending bugs) I have decided that I don't want to maintain gpodder (and increasing number of packages, it seems) in EPEL-6 anymore since I don't use it at all. Does anybody want to take it or should I just orphaned and let it die in this branch? Matěj -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

You also forgot to add: 1) A proposed alternative 2) Patches to fix any of the issues you pointed out 3) Anything constructive at all in your ramblings. Seriously, if you want yum replaced with something then you need to show up with an alternate proposal, how it would work, and people willing to do that work.

collectd & usrmove (iptables)
Hi folks, I've been working on packaging collectd 5.x for work purposes and I notice there's been no movement on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743894 since its request. There were 2 things preventing me from building directly using the existing spec file - one was autoconf related (since debugged and patch submitted upstream - https://github.com/collectd/collectd/pull/35 and the second was that this patch then didn't work on rawhide - due to broken iptables-devel since usr move. I notice that harald already has patches for this, (AFTER doing pretty much the same thing. Grr) So 1) is there a master bugzilla ticket to link all usrmove bugs to? 2) [mutterings about maintainer non-responsiveness for collectd removed as I've just seen him update BZ #797773 ] 3) Given that this is a major version bump (even if there's a backwards compat step possible) - how likely can I get it into EPEL6 which is my target for work (I can use our internal repo if necessary) 4) given the broken dependency in rawhide, how do I submit an update?

Don't be afraid to ask for help
I am sending this because, we have a lot of FTBFS packages which I have see at least one blog griping about, I accidentally fixed something that was blocking other work (in the sense that I didn't know that other work that I wouldn't have to do was waiting for this problem to be solved) and I fixed something for someone that asked for help in a roundabout way. We are all not experts in everything and it isn't a problem to ask for help if you are stuck on something for a package. Someone else on the devl list (or one of the programming language specific lists) may be able to easily solve a problem that you could spend hours on without making a lot of progress. For those that can help, doing so is a good idea. By removing a blocker you let someone else do work they can do on Fedora. By showing them the resolution, they may be able to resolve similar situations when they see them again, including cases when other developers run across the problem. It's nice to help your fellow contributors. Fixing things makes Fedora better for everyone. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

There's exactly the same reason to avoid closely-related forks as there is to avoid embedded libraries - if you have a security issue you now have more places to fix the same bug. The question is whether that cost is larger or smaller than the gain from carrying the forked code. Simple thought experiment: memcpy() has always obviously had destination and source the wrong way round. I can easily fix that in a forked glibc, but then I need to rebuild the entire stack on top of that to fix up all the callers. I think everyone would agree that that was unreasonable. There's a continuum here, rather than a bright-line test.

There is one crucial difference: A maintainer of a forked code base explicitly knows he is maintaining it; a maintainer of a software package that happens to embed a library may not think about maintaining the embedded library at all.

I'd love to have 5 in el6, but I'm not sure how practical it is. If someone would like to try and migration setup in %post for the changes, I'd be happy to test, but I'm not sure it's going to be very easy. The rrd changes don't seem like something we want to do to people's data without their consent. What we might want to do is package up a parallel installable 'collectd5' for epel6.

That behavior (no response to ^C [SIGINT] within 5 seconds) is a bug. It's a _transaction_, right? So either it completes successfully, or fails with no apparent lasting effects (except log files, delay, etc.) So yum should: respond immediately on stderr, abort the transaction (roll back everything to the state before the transaction began), and terminate with failure status. Because the original request is for a transaction, then yum *must* be able to abort and rollback anyway, to recover from I/O errors [and such errors _do_ happen.] So, act as if ^C [SIGINT] is an I/O error. -- -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Right - we should make it clear to people packaging things like cinnamon/muffin that it may not be the most healthy long-term alternative, and may cause them pain in the long run. (Hey, name-based metaphors!) But as long as they're aware of that pain, I don't see why we should deny them the opportunity, or force them to try and port software away from the fork.

(I had scripted a git pull in all my package directories after the branch, but I think that it failed in this one due to uncommitted changes.) So you're saying that fedpkg's behavior depends on the existence of other, un-checked-out, branches in my local repo? This seems a tad ... unreliable. Not to say surprising. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

F16 is still on Mesa 7.11.x because Mesa 8.0 drops the DRI1 drivers. Which means I don't intend to do any work on F16 beyond keeping up with the 7.11 branch. That said, Mesa 8 should build and install fine on F16 (I think, you might need new libdrm too), and if someone really wanted to adapt the Mesa packaging for F16 to install what wayland needs I guess that's a thing they can do. - ajax signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

It's a very broad rollback implementation. I think an eventual goal for the yum plugin, once btrfs is stable, is to make it more flexible. Maybe where /home is exempt from rollback.

Fedora 18 Development - orphaned & retired packages
Just a quick note - now that Fedora 18 development is open, we encourage mantainers who are planning on orphaning or retiring their packages to do so as early in the process as possible. That gives other maintainers a longer runway to fix dependencies and possibly pick up maintenance if they so desire.

It *is* a bug in yum (and a very > very long-standing one at that): Yeh, much like Fedora repodata is a yum bug. There are at least 3 classes of bugs here: 1. rpm overrides C-c handling when you do various rpm operations, so sometimes what look like "simple" changes mean C-c stops working for parts of yum. 2. DNS handing in Glibc eats C-c, so various network related things sometimes mean you have a non-C-c working yum (just like "ping blah" C-c). AFAIK the only fixes are "don't ever call anything in proc. that can do a glibc DNS lookup" or "add threads". 3. pycurl/curl/nss also eat C-c ... at least sometimes, and maybe only when using rpm as well. ...before #3 we generally did the debugging and fixed things as best we could, and there were a few yum's that people could use where C-c worked really well (IIRC the latest el5 one was one). But after #3 we had a lot of other problems in the same vein, so we mostly gave up and are waiting for the downloads to not be in proc. anymore. At which point it should mostly go away (hopefully we can get rid of #2 as well ... so just need to be really careful about #1 problems). -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

OK, so both rpm and yum could do better: at the first mention of 'transaction', then the documentation (manual page, ...) should specify "not ACID". There is a database involved, and the word 'transaction' had a decade of precedence in the database world before rpm was written. Because rpm does not support ACID transactions, then yum should act to minimize the adverse impact. Do not process the packages in alphabetical order; instead sort the packages topologically: the ones with no remaining dependencies go first, etc. Then responding immediately to ^C [SIGINT] can leave at most one package in an inconsistent state (assuming no circular dependencies.) Or, it might be reasonable to finish processing that one package before not starting the rest of the work. Additionally, sorting each topological tier by descending size tends to minimize the number of packages changed before any SIGINT, so this is an inexpensive way give the interactive user more control. However, sorting by ascending size tends to enable earlier detection of systematic problems across packages. On average for a DVD, sorting by size (and processing in the same direction) is significantly better than random by size because the linear caching of most drives (2MB typical) becomes much more effective on average for adjacent small files if not all are selected. -- -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

IMHO we should reduce and remove the use of scripts as far as possible over the whole of Fedora. RPM upstream too, but that may be harder. We should replace %post scripts with more intelligence in RPM, so it can, for example, create (and _delete_) user accounts on demand, or run ldconfig when required.

Not much, in that scripts run in a separate process. Everything, in that while in the middle of a transaction rpm is in control of everything and thus. anything above rpm can't catch C-c. > IMHO we should reduce and remove the use of scripts as far as possible > over the whole of Fedora.

What does "dist-rawhide" mean? Well it could be .fc17, or it could mean .fc18, which could make a big difference to conditionals within the spec file. Although the plan was at one time to make use of the dist-rawhide target, I'm not sure what derailed that plan, and if possible we should go through with that plan, but the above problem remains (it'd just come into play less often). -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

There's a new livecd-tools build which needs testing: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-2313/livecd-tools-17.6-1.fc17 It should fix two bugs I came across in Alpha testing: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796419 - "F17 Alpha RC4 DVD written to USB with livecd-iso-to-disk --efi does not boot" Also the bug where, if you write a DVD ISO to USB stick with l-i-t-d, only the anaconda stuff gets written, not the packages - so the stick is effectively just a boot.iso, you need another source of packages. That one I didn't file yet, but it should be fixed. bcl says it's a fairly big change, so he wants it to get some testing before applying the change to f15 and f16. please test whatever you usually use livecd-iso-to-disk for and make sure it didn't break anything. Ideally we should re-run all the USB validation tests that use anything from livecd-tools - the 'USB Stick' section on the installation matrix - and make sure nothing got worse, at least. If it all goes well, file positive karma. thanks! it'd be great to get this approved and f15/f16 builds done ASAP so as to help people get Alpha written. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net ___ test-announce mailing list test-annou...@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test-announce -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

At least for NM I suppose I could hack this in, but it would be really nice to get the IPv6 rules as default somewhere.

I'm agreeing with the assertion I quoted, but pointing out there is an option to gain rollback functionality. That's all. I've never used control-c during a yum update. Too me, that seems like "Oh hell, I didn't mean to throw that cup of habaneros in my blueberry smoothie! Control-c?!" Even if they haven't been blended in yet, the smoothie is destroyed. So no, I was not suggesting automatic rollback. However... What's the expectation of a user hitting control-c in the middle of a yum update anyway? My first inclination is it makes zero sense, like habaneros in a smoothie. But if control-c means "stop here" as in "don't push the frappe button!" is that really as useful as "go back to start" as in "magically remove the habaneros?" I'd pick a return to a known stable state, rather than being dropped in who knows what, where I'm probably going to have to install yum-utils and run yum-complete-transaction and who knows what. It'd probably work, that's what it's there for. Like picking each habanero and seed out of a blender with a fork? Magic sounds better.

My first inclination is it makes zero sense, like habaneros in > a smoothie. As stated earlier, the expectation is that when yum is still setting up update process or downloading repo information, it will stop that and quit. Only when yum reaches "starting transaction test" or "running transaction", it should restrict ctrl-c.
