Re: Fedora 32 system-wide change proposal: reduce installation media size by improving the compression ratio of SquashFS filesystem

Thanks everyone for your comments. These are all valid concerns. I filed a new change proposal at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Changes/OptimizeSquashFS. I'll run more benchmarks, including using Zstd compression algorithm, and will post results. Hopefully this weekend, I'll also try to

Re: Let's talk about Fedora in the '20s!

First, I'd like to see Fedora become more of an "operating system factory". There are a few things that seem a bit out of place, in terms of RH's messaging/endorsing of Fedora, and Fedora's role as an upstream for RHEL and an engine of moving the entire Linux community forward. I think this

tagsoup is dead

The tagsoup package was retired. However, icedtea-web and javadocofflinesearch still depend on it, and jmol depends on icedtea-web, and sagemath depends on jmol. The result is that when I tried to rebuild sagemath due to the ntl soname bump I wrote about last week, it could not be built because i

Review swaps for odoc

Greetings all, Dan Čermák and I have been talking about getting Facebook's Infer tool into Fedora. Infer is a static code analyzer for C, C#, C++, and Java. I've put together package reviews for a batch of dependencies. The point of all of these is to get the documentation building tool odoc int
