Hello All, Just thought I'd do a progress/status update on packages. Most of the information is already on the wiki [1] page but maybe a little context might assist. First some stats. We have 9071 unique (not counting multiple NVR builds of the same package) packages built and tagged into f-17 compared to 11345 in Mainline. So without taking Excludes/exclusive we've got a basic delta of around 2274 packages to go, some of these will be hard, with webkit/ruby this should close out some more but the last could also be the hardest. We now have a ruby and webkit* set of builds. Ruby was blocking a lot of lower level system libraries due to the associated bindings. webkitgtk3 in particular was block just about all the UX packages. Not because they use it but rather just about any app that connects to the net uses a tiny little library called libproxy which has a webkit plugin. With those packages fixed we unlock koji to ramp up through those. Thanks for everyone's help on getting those unblocked. Now onto the rest.... The next 3 packages I can already hear the groans about: - prelink - I know we don't really care about it but unfortunately a number of packages depend on it. It's broken upstream so if someone could poke Jakub to glue it back together that would be grand. - valgrind - I've managed to get it to build on hardfp locally so I suspect it's mostly a case of looking at the crack that's in the spec to get the right combo. I've not had much luck unfortunately - systemtap - I think this might depend on java so really not too sure here. - Java: a whole topic in and of itself. Upstream have changed the java-1.6.0-openjdk package not to provide "java" because java 6 is about to go EOL and we all know how secure it is so the Java team are looking to kill it. Problem is java-1.7.0-openjdk doesn't currently build. I've had some email backwards and forwards to let the Java team know our predicament and they've said they'll look to see if they can pull forward the missing bits for us. Hopefully we should see some movement here soon. Andrew please feel free to chime in here and fill in the gaps. Other packages that are hitting the radar: - mysql - a lot of packages have an option to connect to a mysql DB (IE client side support) so this is blocking quite a bit. I think we now have a known fix and just need to update the kernels on the builders - parted - 1 test fails, it use to build. Being disk related it would be good if someone could look at this closer - emacs - love it or hate it things do depend on it for what ever reason. It use to work so shouldn't be too hard - ceph - needs investigation, basically all cloud related things depend on this because libvirt depends on it - mono - Needs hardfp support upstream. I think in the short term we should just pull in the hack the other distros are using. Thoughts? - plpa - Needs investigation. Might have a documented fix from bringup that needs to be upstreamed - geoclue - broken upstream, lots of gnome depends on it for geolocation, broken in the f-17 dev cycle. Embarrassingly my package but I'm not a coder and have been busy elsewhere ;-) Beer offered for fixes! - perl-Moose - possibly some crazy perl circular dep - libEMF - needs investigation Overall there should be some fun and games there for all members of the family to get their teeth stuck into. Now that my head is coming back up from under water I'll do my best to try and keep this thread updated every couple of days as we cross things off and other things float to the top. Let me know if you fix something, have a fix that needs committing, have a question or general update. Thoughts, questions?
