I'm using docker for $dayjob and would be willing to help out a bit, but I will not be the main maintainer, as I don't feel comfortable taking such a huge package and lack the cycles for that. > >This notably impacts Fedora CoreOS as we are including the moby-engine package by default to let users pick their container engine of choice whithout deciding for them in advance. We offer both major container engines by default in the image (podman and moby-engine). No offense, but this sounds like that this is something the Fedora coreos team should tackle. Given that Fedora coreos appears to be driven to a large extend by redhat (at least that's my impression, please correct me if I'm wrong), I find it a bit odd that the business is asking volunteers to step up to help the business out... > >If the moby-engine package ends up being retired for Fedora 38, then we will have to recommend to its users on Fedora CoreOS that they either switch to the official Docker packages [2] or move to containerd or podman when the rebase to Fedora 38 happens alongside the Fedora 38 release [3]. > >Note that we will likely not remove the containerd package from Fedora CoreOS as it is still maintained in Fedora and is currently used by Kubernetes distributions based on Fedora CoreOS (such as Typhoon for example). > >See also the Fedora CoreOS tracker issue [4] for more details. > >[1] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/moby-engine >[2] https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/fedora/ >[3] https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-38/f-38-key-tasks.html >[4] https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/1291 > >Thanks, > >Timothée Ravier for the Fedora CoreOS team >_______________________________________________ >devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ >List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines >List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
