[Test-Announce] Fedora 17 Alpha Test Compose 2 (TC2) Available Now!

**IMPORTANT**: There were different versions of the TC2 install and live
images which were overwritten prior to this announcement. I also briefly
posted delta ISOs for some of these old images. Please make sure that
the images you are using correspond to the currently posted checksum files.

As per the Fedora 17 schedule [1], Fedora 17 Alpha Test Compose 2 (TC2)
is now available for testing. Content information, including changes,
can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5054 . Please
see the following pages for download links (including delta ISOs) and
testing instructions. Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide the
fastest download, but download-ib01.fedoraproject.org is available as a
mirror (with an approximately 1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To use it,
just replace "dl" with "download-ib01" in the download URL.

Note that serverbeach1 is now just an alias for dl, not a separate machine.

Installation:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test

Base:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test

Desktop:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test

Ideally, all Alpha priority test cases for Installation [2], Base [3],
and Desktop [4] should pass in order to meet the Alpha Release Criteria

PCRE 8.30 will break API

It's long time since PCRE (Perl-Compatible Regular Expression) library
has changed API or ABI. Version 8.30 is different. Besides UTF-16
support, the incompatible changes are described by upstream with these
words:

. The pcre_info() function, which has been obsolete for over 10 years,
  has been removed.

. When a compiled pattern was saved to a file and later reloaded on
  a host with different endianness, PCRE used automatically to swap the
  bytes in some of the data fields. With the advent of the 16-bit
  library, where more of this swapping is needed, it is no longer done
  automatically. Instead, the bad endianness is detected and a specific
  error is given. The user can then call a new function called
  pcre_pattern_to_host_byte_order() (or an equivalent 16-bit function)
  to do the swap.

. In UTF-8 mode, the values 0xd800 to 0xdfff are not legal Unicode code
  points and are now faulted. (They are the so-called "surrogates" that
  are reserved for coding high values in UTF-16.)

Result is pcre library has changed SONAME from libpcre.so.0 to
libpcre.so.1. Other librararies (pcrecpp, pcreposix) delivered with this
package remain compatible.

Because pcre library is part of minimal build root I choosed following
strategy to avoid breaking Koji:

(1) pcre-8.30-1 will include both new libpcre.so.1 and old libpcre.so.0.
    (This is done by copying old files from build root while building

[Test-Announce] 2012-02-10 @ 17:00 UTC - F17 Alpha Blocker Bug Review #3

# F17 Alpha Blocker Review meeting #3
# Date: 2012-02-10
# Time: 17:00 UTC [1] (12:00 EST, 09:00 PST)
# Location: #fedora-bugzappers on irc.freenode.net

The third F17 alpha blocker bug review meeting will be this Friday at
17:00 UTC in #fedora-bugzappers. We'll be running through the final
blockers and nice-to-haves.  An updated list of blocker bugs is
available at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers.

We'll be reviewing the bugs to determine ...

  1. Whether they meet the final release criteria [2] and should stay
     on the list
  2. Whether they are getting the attention they need

For guidance on Blocker and Nice-to-have (NTH) bugs, please refer to
 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process
 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_nth_bug_process

<build> not tagged as an update candidate [again x 2]

Continuing an annual tradition ...
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-August/141191.html

For an F17 build I'm getting:

$ fedpkg update
[...].fc17 not tagged as an update candidate

This was built in f17-candidate, which is not
'dist-f??-updates-candidate'.  However I'm still no closer to
understanding what the error means or how to fix it.

Rich.

gsoap updated in F17 and rawhide

Hi!

gsoap was updated to version 2.8.7 in F17 and rawhide.

Due to changes to the struct soap the soname of the libraries was bumped
from 1 to 2. Dependent packages needs to rebuild:

lcgdm
lcgdm-dav
srm-ifce
voms

gfortran module versioning - f17/rawhide fortran module rebuild needed

It appears that gcc-gfortran-4.7.0-0.11.fc17.x86_64 (in rawhide) and 
gcc-gfortran-4.7.0-0.12.fc17.x86_64 (in f17 - branching fun!) produces 
and uses Fortran modules version 9 as I'm getting this trying to rebuild 
netcdf:

   use mpi
       1
Fatal Error: Wrong module version '8' (expected '9') for file 'mpi.mod' 
opened at (1)

openmpi was built with 4.7.0-0.8.fc17 on Jan 20th, so at some point 
between the two the module version was bumped.

It's somewhat surprising that the version number needed to get bumped 
during the 4.7.0 pre-release series, though appreciated if it was 
necessary to fix the fortran regression I came across via plplot. :)

Would it be possible for rpm to track this dependency for us somehow so 
we could get notified of abi breakage automatically?  It's hard at the 
moment to know what packages have Fortran modules and need to be rebuilt 
(assuming the version number bump was intentional).  gcc-gfortran could 
provide "gfortran(abi) = 8" and rpm could parse .mod files for their header:

GFORTRAN module version '6'

and put in a requires "gfortran(abi) = 6".

Likely rebuild candidates:
# repoquery --whatprovides /usr/\*.mod | grep devel | sort
getdata-devel-0:0.7.3-1.fc16.i686

Just to preempt any possible misunderstandings: Any feature that is invasive 
should be landing ASAP now IN F18 RAWHIDE ONLY, *NOT* IN THE F17 BRANCH! It 
is TOO LATE for invasive features in Fedora 17, they need to target Fedora 
18 instead!

(Dennis, I know this is obvious to you, but it might not be obvious to 
everyone.)

Another Rawhide bug: middle button then trackpad scroll down causes page up

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=788632

If you middle click on any scrolling window, then (even some time
later) use the track pad two-finger thing to scroll down, the window
will "jump up" as if PgUp has been pressed.  It's incredibly annoying
and makes things like browsing results lists in Google barely usable.

Originally I blamed this on Firefox, but it also happens in a terminal
window (XFCE Terminal).

What to assign this to?  X?  XFCE?  Something else?

Rich.

Fedora 17 Mass branching

We have completed mass branching for Fedora 17 you now need make sure
that you build things for Fedora 17 from the f17 branch, master is now
for Fedora 18. 

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/17/Schedule We have the Alpha
Change Freeze On Feb 14th this means that we will land f17-candidate
builds to land in f17 until then. Bodhi updates will be enabled on
February 14.

Feature Freeze has passed and all features need to be testable for TC2.

Any feature that is invasive and intended for Fedora 18 should be
landing ASAP now.
