Packagers - Flag day 2016 Important changes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings. 

As previously announced, releng has made a number of changes as part of
it's 2016 "flag day". 

All package maintainers will want to make sure they have updated to
the 
following package versions (some may be in testing as of this email):

     python-cccolutils-1.4-1
     fedpkg-1.26-2
     fedora-packager-0.6.0.0-1
     pyrpkg-1.47-3
     koji-1.11.0-1

Please also see the following links for up to date information: 

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/FlagDay2016

The following changes were made:

* koji and the source lookaside were changed to use kerberos
authentication
instead of ssl certificates. All maintainers will need to:

kinit YOUR-FAS-ACCOUNTNAME@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

to get a valid kerberos TGT and be able to authenticate to koji and 
the lookaside upload cgi. 

See the general kerberos information at: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure_kerberos_authentication
for more details.

Additionally, via GSSAPI many browsers allow you to seamlessly login 
to any of our ipsilon using applications simply by clicking on the
login 
button ( bodhi, fedorahosted trac, elections, fedocal, mailman3, etc)

* koji now uses a well known cert for https. 

* pkgs.fedoraproject.org now redirects to https://src.fedoraproject.org
 and 
that uses a well known cert. Please correct any links you use to use
https://src.fedoraproject.org for packages spec and patch files. 

* rawhide builds now land in the f26-pending tag, where they are signed
and then 
added to the f26 tag for compose in the next rawhide compose. This
allows 
rawhide packages to be fully signed as well as a point where automated
QA
can take place in the future. 

* packages "sources" files now use sha512 by default instead of md5. 
You will need the fedpkg update in order to create and use these new
checksums.

Questions or concerns as always welcome at #fedora-admin on
irc.freenode.net
or tickets at https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure. ;
