experiencing dnf Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'fedora' or ''updates'

By Michal Novotny at 07/20/2018 - 00:25

Hello,

I am occasionally experiencing the following error in my day-to-day dnf use:

Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'fedora'

or

Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates'

I've had that happened even in local mock builds.

Do you also experience this error upon dnf operations like `dnf install` or
`dnf refresh` or in local mock builds?

Thank you

audiofile package to become an orphan

By Michael Schwendt at 07/19/2018 - 18:33

When I picked up the package in 2015, the upstream maintainer(s) apparently
had stopped the maintenance already. Meanwhile, there have been a few CVEs
and other fixes that have been ignored upstream.

Orphaning some of my packages

By Raphael Groner at 07/19/2018 - 17:06

HI,
I'll orphan the packages cpptest and dreamchess-tools because both currently FTBFS and I don't find any time to fix them in near future, besides I don't currently use those packages.
Maybe a simple add of BuildRequires: gcc-c++ would fix the builds.

Compilation issue after gcc removal

By =?ISO-8859-2?Q?... at 07/19/2018 - 16:18

Hi,

After the recent gcc removal from build root [1] I added explicit
dependency on gcc [2], but even though my pyxattr package started to
fail with [3][4]:
I've checked it and ENOATTR should be defined in attr/xattr.h which is
provided by the build dependency - libattr-devel. In addition are
installed glibc-headers [5].

I haven't been programming in C for years.

Errors in compiling darktable subpackages

By Germano Massullo at 07/19/2018 - 15:27

I am working on adding more features to darktable (basecurve tool and
noise tool subpackages).

In log [1] from line

BUILDSTDERR: /usr/bin/ld:
CMakeFiles/dt-curve-tool.dir/dt-curve-tool.c.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S
against symbol `spline_set' can not be used when making a shared object;
recompile with -fPIC

there are many errors, and I don't understand if they are upstream
programming errors or more likely errors in my spec file.

Auto-filing of FTBFS bugs gone wild

By Hans de Goede at 07/19/2018 - 11:15

Hi All,

I've just got 20 bugs auto-filed against packages which I co-maintain
and that is just for packages starting with the letter 'a'.

A quick check shows that these are all caused by a missing
BuildRequires on gcc / g++ related to:

<a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot" title="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot">https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot</a>

I'm not sure if this means that the FTBFS script has been run before
all the automatic fixing which was planned for this was in place;
or if this means that the automatic fixing missed many many
packages, but either way something needs to happen here, the amount
of work now being pushed onto pa

JSharing some poor experience

By Theodore Papadopoulo at 07/19/2018 - 10:31

Hello,

I recently upgraded my computer to Fedora 28 and experienced some
strange behaviour with the cinnamon deskop when having two screens.
On the second screen there was a black "border" around windows (eg
terminals) that was flickering and expanding eg when the mouse was
moving....

This was somewhat unpleasant but manageable...

F29 Self-Contained Change: GnuTLS enables TLS 1.3 by default

By Ben Cotton at 07/18/2018 - 17:26

== Summary ==
This change enables TLS 1.3 (draft28) support on the gnutls crypto library.

== Owner ==
* Name: Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos

== Detailed Description ==

This change will enable the TLS 1.3 protocol (draft28) on the gnutls
library. TLS 1.3 is the latest version of the TLS protocol which
addresses few shortcomings of the previous versions. The protocol has
already been approved by IETF and is on its final publication stage,
with only minor editorial changes expected.

some trac plugins looking for point of contacts

By Kevin Fenzi at 07/18/2018 - 15:41

Hey all.

I have:

trac-bazaar-plugin
trac-git-plugin
trac-iniadmin-plugin
trac-mercurial-plugin
trac-ticketdelete-plugin

Which are all FTBFS (likely due to unversioned python2 use).

I don't use trac anymore, so I am going to orphan these, unless anyone
would like to take them on, in which case I'd be happy to transfer them
to you.

I'll keep them until saturday, then orphan and folks can file releng
tickets after that to get them.

Fixing KeepassXC missing Gnome tray icon

By Germano Massullo at 07/18/2018 - 15:20

A user filled the following bugreport
<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1601033" title="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1601033">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1601033</a>
concerning KeepassXC from Fedora repository missing the Gnome tray icon.
He states that the upstream AppImage build instead is not affected by
this problem.

The spec file seems to be fine so I don't understand where the problem
could be.

Understanding popd pushd usage in RPM spec file

By Germano Massullo at 07/18/2018 - 14:42

Hi, I need some help in understanding how popd and pushd work in rpm
files creation.
Today I started working on enhancing darktable spec file [1] in order to
add basecurve-tool and noise-tool subpackages, and I had some
difficulties in understanding popd/pushd usage in that spec file.
Despite is a package that I maintain, the popd/pushd usage has been
implemented by past Fedora maintainers.
I have spent the afternoon searching on internet and reading again the
guide <a href="https://rpm-packaging-guide.github.io/" title="https://rpm-packaging-guide.github.io/">https://rpm-packaging-guide.github.io/</a>
and I also made some practise after having read StackOverflow question
[2], but I still do

Updating R-qvalue and R-xtable

By Pierre-Yves at 07/18/2018 - 14:35

Good Morning Everyone,

A few days ago, I sent this to the <a href="mailto:r-sig-fedora@r-project.org">r-sig-fedora@r-project.org</a> list but without
reactions, so I'm sending it here as well in case there are more people
interested here :)

Thanks,

Pierre

Good Morning Everyone,

I was going through my list of FTBFS packages today and I fixed all my R
packages but 2: qvalue and xtable.
qvalue requires ggplot2
xtable requires: lsmeans, spdep, splm, sphet, plm

I am not doing any R anymore these days and in fact spot has been the one
maintaining most of my R packages these days (thanks spot!!), so I am not really
interested in main

Audit-3.0 pre-release coming to rawhide

By Steve Grubb at 07/18/2018 - 10:31

Hello,

This is to let everyone know that audit-3.0 pre-release is coming to rawhide.
The big change that is prompting this email is that there is a config change
that people might need to be aware of. One of the improvements is to drop
audispd (realtime audit event dispatcher) and merge its functionality into
auditd. This will eliminate one source of overflow messages and decrease the
time from event occurrence to plugin seeing it.

dnf history - change in how rpmdb checksum is computed

By Daniel Mach at 07/18/2018 - 09:24

Hi everyone,
The DNF team is currently reviewing DNF compatibility with YUM 3 and we'd
like to get feedback on this one:
<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1120253" title="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1120253">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1120253</a>

rpmdb checksum is a checksum of all installed RPMs
It has no cryptographical value, it's just an unique ID of RPMs on a system
before and after each transaction and it's used in dnf history info and dnf
history list.
If checksums of 2 following transactions do not match, DNF indicates that.
This happens if a user installs an RPM by hand via rpm command.

Then `dnf history list` looks like:
2 | install bar | 2018-01-01

License tags of lm_sensors corrected

By =?UTF-8?Q?Ond=c... at 07/18/2018 - 07:17

Hi,

I've reviewed the licensing of lm_sensors and found the License tags to
be incorrect, so I corrected it.

Previously the License tags of all the subpackages was:
LGPLv2+ and GPLv3+ and GPLv2+ and Verbatim and Public Domain

Now the License tags read as follows.
lm_sensors: GPLv2+ and Verbatim and MIT
lm_sensors-devel: LGPLv2+ and Verbatim
lm_sensors-libs: LGPLv2+
lm_sensors-sensord: GPLv2+ and Verbatim and MIT

The actual license of the package did not change in the recent past,
only the License tags were corrected.

Intent to orphan js-jquery1 and js-jquery2

By Christopher at 07/18/2018 - 01:32

It is my intention to orphan js-jquery1 and js-jquery2. Does anybody want
to take them over?

These very old versions of jQuery have security issues that I do not have
time nor expertise to maintain. Upstream's last patch for either of these
occurred over 2 years ago. Everybody should be using jQuery 3 by now
(js-jquery). Anything older is insecure and unsafe.

Personally, I think they should be retired, but I don't know (or have time
to check) to see if that would cause problems for anybody.

Mass rebuild, mass Golang packages failures

By Bob Mauchin at 07/17/2018 - 08:34

Hello,

Since the mass rebuild and maybe because of Golang 1.11 beta 1, all the Golang
package containing a binary fail because the debuginfo are not generated:

RPM build errors:
error: Empty %files file /builddir/build/BUILD/rclone-1.42/
debugsourcefiles.list
Empty %files file /builddir/build/BUILD/rclone-1.42/debugsourcefiles.list
Child return code was: 1

whereas it was working correctly before.

Has anyone any idea what is causing this and how it can be fixed?

Best regards,

Build failures of packages which use waf as build system

By Guido Aulisi at 07/16/2018 - 15:54

Hi all,

I found many build failure of packages using waf as build system.
This is due to recent move of /usr/bin/python into a separate package

Many audio related packages have this problem.

I fixed some of these audio packages, prefixing waf calls with

Lots a permission denied activity

By Steve Grubb at 07/16/2018 - 14:27

Hello,

I have been testing a new set of audit rules and have run across some
processes that are doing things that might out to be changed. Typically,
audit users expect a normally functioning system to not be noisy. There is a
requirement to audit failed file access due to permission denied. What I'm
finding is that two processes are generating tens of thousands of events
every day.

There is a /usr/libexec/tracker-extract process that searches my directories
about every 11 seconds. I can imagine on a laptop that would be a lot of disk
activity.

sip-related build failures in rawhide

By Alexander Ploumistos at 07/15/2018 - 07:24

Hello,

A few days ago scidavis builds started failing in rawhide. Someone
mentioned here that sip was to blame for a number of such failures and
according to koschei they started to happen after the update from
sip-4.19.9-0.2.dev1805261119.fc29 to sip-4.19.12-2.fc29.

According to the logs[0], sip can't find a file:
sip: Unable to find file "QtCore/QtCoremod.sip"

which results in a number of files not getting generated.

Is this a bug in sip, do I need to change something in my spec file,
or should I contact upstream?

Best regards,
Alex

# Time: 16:00 UTC
# Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net

Hi folks! We have 4 proposed Beta blockers to review, so let's have a
review meeting on Monday.

If you have time this weekend, you can take a look at the proposed or
accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found
here: <a href="https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/" title="https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/">https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/</a> .

We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the
Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not
fixed.

By W.H. Kalpa Pathum at 07/13/2018 - 13:34

Hi,

I was trying to build a live cd with livecd-creator and towards the
latter part of the process I encountered the following error,

Checking filesystem /var/tmp/imgcreate-230i9kyl/tmp-fjf6k6vu/ext3fs.img
resizing /var/tmp/imgcreate-230i9kyl/tmp-fjf6k6vu/ext3fs.img
Checking filesystem /var/tmp/imgcreate-230i9kyl/tmp-fjf6k6vu/ext3fs.img
Error creating Live CD : fsck after resize returned an error (1)!

I also tried with increasing the value of ,
part / --size
in kick start file, but still get the same error.

What should I do to overcome this error?

Intend to retire python-openstack-nose-plugin

By Matthias Runge at 07/13/2018 - 09:14

Hello,
the subject says it, I'm intending to retire
python-openstack-nose-plugin. It is old,
very old. Last commit upstream was 2012.

Any takers, otherwise I'd retire it in a week.

Packages needlessly use __provides_exclude_from on python sitearch

By =?UTF-8?B?TWlyb... at 07/12/2018 - 12:34

There are 56 packages that use something like this:

%global __provides_exclude_from ^(%{python_sitearch}/.*\\.so)$
%global __provides_exclude_from ^(%{python2_sitearch}/.*\\.so)$
%global __provides_exclude_from ^(%{python3_sitearch}/.*\\.so)$
%global __provides_exclude_from
^(%{python2_sitearch}|%{python3_sitearch})/.*\\.so$
...

and 68 like this:

%filter_provides_in %{python_sitearch}/whatnot/.*\.so$
%filter_provides_in %{python2_sitearch}/.*\.so$
%filter_provides_in %{python2_sitearch}/.*\.so$ %{python3_sitearch}/.*\.so$

OCaml 4.07.0 is now in Fedora 29

By Richard W.M. Jones at 07/12/2018 - 10:40

OCaml 4.07.0 was released on Tuesday and it's in Fedora Rawhide today.
All packages that use OCaml have been recompiled except:

- why3: "Error: Unbound module Stdlib" - probably needs an
upstream change

If you see any other problems related to OCaml compilation with the
new package then let me know.

Rich.

Rawhide Rebase Warning to Package Maintainers

By Ben Cotton at 07/11/2018 - 09:58

Greetings,

This e-mail is intended to inform you about the upcoming Bugzilla changes
happening on 2018-08-14 (Rawhide bug rebase) and what you need to do,
if anything.

We will be automatically changing the version for most rawhide bugs to
Fedora 29.
This will result in regular bugs reported against rawhide during the Fedora 29
development cycle being changed to version ‘29' instead of their current
assignment, ‘rawhide’.

Fedora c++ default build flags

By Marek =?ISO-885... at 07/11/2018 - 08:00

Hi,
during a discussion with upstream (MongoDB) they asked me about default
Fedora C/C++ build flags. And I don't remember all Fedora System Wide
changes where it was introduced,... so is there some place where it's
described?

Main upstream question was:
"""
I don't know what is in those various hardening scripts, so hard to say
what they do. I am somewhat interested in whether you think we should
be applying these flags for our hardened builds.

Update to podofo-0.9.6 in rawhide

By Sandro Mani at 07/11/2018 - 05:35

Hi

I'm updating podofo to version 0.9.6 in rawhide. It carries a soname
bump (libpodofo.so.0.9.5 -> libpodofo.so.0.9.6), but all affected
packages build without changes against the new version [1].

Intent to retire cryptominisat4

By Jerry James at 07/11/2018 - 00:30

With cvc4 1.6 building in Rawhide right now, the last Fedora user of
cryptominisat 4.x is gone. All Fedora consumers are now on
cryptominisat 5.x, which is in the cryptominisat package.
Consequently, I intend to retire the cryptominisat4 package soon. If
somebody needs it, let me know and I will give it to you instead of
retiring it.
