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 == Obsolete cockpit-navigator for cockpit-files due to the availability of a modern, maintained file system browser for Cockpit. == Owner == * Name: [[User:jelly| Jelle van der Waa]] * Email: jvanderw@xxxxxxxxxx == Detailed Description == Last year the Cockpit project released a new officially supported [https://cockpit-project.org/blog/first-cockpit-files-release.html Cockpit Files] plugin intended to provide a modern alternative to the existing [https://github.com/45Drives/cockpit-navigator Cockpit navigator] plugin. The latest release (14) supports everything which Cockpit navigator did except the creation of symlinks which is planned to be implemented. == Feedback == == Benefit to Fedora == Cockpit navigator users will be upgraded to Cockpit files which is actively developed, automated tested and maintained by the Cockpit team. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Add "Obsoletes: cockpit-navigator" to cockpit-files and retire cockpit-navigator. * Other developers: N/A * Release engineering: N/A * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: == Upgrade/compatibility impact == When upgrading to Fedora 42, systems with `cockpit-navigator` installed will be switched to `cockpit-files`. == How To Test == `cockpit-files` is available in Fedora 40 and higher. == User Experience == Replacing `cockpit-navigator` with `cockpit-files` leads to a visual change within Cockpit the `Navigator` menu entry will be replaced with a new `File browser` menu entry under Tools. The UI of `cockpit-files` is different from `cockpit-navigator` but offers the same functionality with the exception symlink creation. `cockpit-files` like Cockpit uses PatternFly as UI toolkit making the user experience more consistent. == Dependencies == == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Documentation == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Release Notes == -- Aoife Moloney Fedora Operations Architect Fedora Project Matrix: @amoloney:fedora.im IRC: amoloney -- _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-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-announce@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
