https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/MinizipRenaming This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee. == Summary == Renaming the "minizip" package to "minizip-ng" and renaming the "minizip-compat" zlib subpackage to "minizip" to align with the upstream naming. == Owner == * Name: [[User:ljavorsk| Lukas Javorsky]] * Email: ljavorsk@xxxxxxxxxx == Detailed Description == Upstream has changed the naming of the "minizip" package to "minizip-ng" and we should follow their naming so there is no confusion about which package is the right one. Upstream has also requested to rename the "minizip-compat" zlib subpackage to "minizip" which is the right naming for the package. The "minizip" and "minizip-compat" provides different shared libraries which prevent us from conflicting sonames. The plan behind this change can be put into x steps which will be completed separately and in the given order: ''NOTE: All of the Provides and Obsoletes will be added to the *-devel subpackages as well.'' 1) Create a new package "minizip-ng" which will `Provides: minizip = %{sameevr}` and `Obsoletes: (minizip < 3.0.2-7 and minizip > 3.0.0-1)` ''NOTE: The versions I choose here are the safe versions that create a space for possible "minizip-compat" rebases'' 2) Rebuild all of the packages that BuildRequire/Require "minizip" package to BuildRequire/Require new "minizip-ng" package 3) Retire the "minizip" package following the [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Retirement_Process/ Package Retirement Process] 4) Wait for the Fedora 40 when it's ensured that every user has updated at least to the Fedora 38. Remove the `Provides` and `Obsoletes` from the "minizip-ng" package 5) Rename the "minizip-compat" to the "minizip" package and add `Provides: minizip-compat = %{sameevr}` and `Obsoletes: minizip-compat < 1.2.12` == Feedback == Early feedback from the community is possite, the feedback is located in this [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/I5WYNPVD3ZOKO3X76LQ5SIRUUXDFUF2Y/ Email thread] == Benefit to Fedora == Fedora should always respect upstream package naming, so the users are not confused about which package are they installing. This naming change will align the naming with the upstream. == Scope == * Proposal owners: New package "minizip-ng" will be created, and several changes in "minizip-compat" package which are described in the Detailed Description. * Other developers: Change the names of their BuildRequires/Requires accordingly. * Release engineering: No action required * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with Objectives: == Upgrade/compatibility impact == When following the plan in Detailed Description there will be no need for manual action. Everything will be handled by the automated dnf upgrade. == How To Test == == User Experience == == Dependencies == List of the packages from Fedora 37 === minizip === repoquery --whatrequires "*libminizip.so.3*" | pkgname | uniq R-libSBML collada-dom dolphin-emu dolphin-emu-tool java-libsbml keepassxc libnuml librasterlite2 libsbml libspatialite libxlsxwriter minizip-devel perl-LibSBML python3-libsbml ruby-SBML sigil vxl xiphos zfstream === minizip-compat === repoquery --whatrequires "*libminizip.so.1*" | pkgname | uniq chromedriver chromium chromium-headless domoticz hashcat libdigidocpp minizip-compat-devel springlobby == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Remove the builds created and revert shipped changes.
