RFC: Roadmap for DNF5 in Fedora 39 / invoking the Contingency Mechanism

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

 



Hi all,

I'm opening this thread to trigger discussion of the roadmap for DNF5
in Fedora 39 - whether the switch still looks doable for this release,
or whether it should be reverted for F39 and postponed to F40.

This is also being tracked in a FESCo ticket:
https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3039

The DNF5 Change was approved with the condition that bits that are
important to the distribution *MUST* work, but this does not seem to
be the case yet, six months after this was initially approved -
there's at least a few things that are still using dnf-3 or have been
broken since the switch to dnf5:

- rawhide mock / koji builds still default to dnf-3 (DNF 4)
- Fedora CI has been partially broken since the switch to DNF5 (c.f.
[fedora-ci/general#416](https://pagure.io/fedora-ci/general/issue/416)),
making CI results for bodhi updates at least partially useless
- fedora-review has been broken since the switch to DNF5 (c.f.
[FedoraReview#482](FedoraReview/issue/482)), which is really hurting
the rate at which new packages are getting reviewed and added to
Fedora
- (not an exhaustive list, feel free to mention other things, I will
update the list to include them)

We are now mere days before the Fedora 39 mass rebuild is scheduled to
start, so I think it's time to start talking about the roadmap for
getting missing pieces into place for Fedora 39, or if that is not
possible within this timeframe, whether the contingency mechanism
should be enacted.

Fabio
