F25 Self Contained Change: Bodhi Non-RPM Artifacts

= Proposed Self Contained Change: Bodhi Non-RPM Artifacts =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/BodhiNonRPMArtifacts

Change owner(s):
* Luke Macken <lmacken AT redhat DOT com>

Bodhi, the Fedora Updates System, should be able to process more than just RPMs.

== Detailed Description ==
As Fedora starts to deliver more than just RPMs and ISOs, we need a
way to handle delivering updates to these artifacts. Bodhi currently
handles this workflow for RPMs only, but we want to start using it for
other content, such as Docker containers, Flatpak apps, OSTrees, etc.
If it can be tagged in Koji, it should be accepted by Bodhi.

== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
- Database model changes
- Masher modifications to the push process
- Web UI changes
- CLI modifications
- Unit tests
- Documentation
- Upstream tracker issue: https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/issues/653

* Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
- QA: Taskotron will need handle kicking off tests for non-RPM updates
- QA: Client-side updates-testing tools like fedora-easy-karma could
optionally be updated to detect these new artifacts

* Release engineering:
- We will need to ensure that the current signing process will work
with non-RPM content
- Ensure that the new content has a proper home in the directory structure.

* List of deliverables: N/A (not a System Wide Change)

* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)

* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)

Reminder: Fedora 22 end of life 2016-07-19

Greetings.

This is a reminder email about the end of life process for Fedora 22.

Fedora 22 will reach end of life on 2016-07-19, and no further updates
will be pushed out after that time. Additionally, with the recent
release of Fedora 24, no new packages will be added to the Fedora 22
collection.

Please see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade for more
information on upgrading from Fedora 22 to a newer release.

Changes to the scm-commits list

Greetings.

In the past the scm-commits list:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/scm-commits@lists.fedoraproject.org

Contained not only git commit messages for packages and notification of
uploads to lookaside cache, but also all changes in pkgdb acls.

The volume of emails from pkgdb acl changes can be very high, and this
prevented people from being able to use the scm-commits list as a way
to review commits.

In order to mitigate this problem, we have now created a new list:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/scm-notifications@lists.fedoraproject.org
that will now get all pkgdb acl changes. The scm-commits list will
continue to get commit messages and notification of source uploads
only.

We hope this change will help everyone more easily get the information
they wish.

F25 System Wide Change: GHC 7.10

= Proposed System Wide Change: GHC 7.10 =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GHC_7.10

Change owner(s):
* Jens Petersen <petersen AT redhat DOT com>

Update Fedora's version of the GHC Haskell compiler to version 7.10.

== Detailed Description ==
GHC 7.10 is major new version of the de facto standard Haskell
compiler released in 2015. This change involves updating ghc and
associated packages and updating and rebuilding all the Haskell
packages in Fedora built with ghc.

== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
- Create a Koji f25-ghc side tag for building all the packages [done]
- Update ghc and ghc-rpm-macros [done]
- Update and rebuild all the Haskell packages in the side tag
- Once building is complete move all the side tag builds to Rawhide
(before F25 branches)

* Other developers: None
A few packages outside the Haskell SIG may need an update to build
with ghc-7.10, but the Haskell SIG can provide assistance if needed.

* Release engineering: Sidetag (and secondary architecture building)
will need assistance from release-engineering.

* List of deliverables: not affected

* Policies and guidelines: None

Fedora 24 is here!

Today the Fedora Project is pleased to announce the general release of
Fedora 24. Download it now from our Get Fedora site:

Workstation: https://getfedora.org/workstation/
Server: https://getfedora.org/server/
Cloud: https://getfedora.org/cloud/

Spins: https://spins.fedoraproject.org/
Labs: https://labs.fedoraproject.org/
ARM: https://arm.fedoraproject.org/

Another Step in the Fedora Journey
----------------------------------

The Fedora Project has embarked on a great journey... redefining what
an operating system should be for users and developers. Such innovation
does not come overnight, and Fedora 24 is one big step on the road to
the next generation of Linux distributions. But that does not mean that
Fedora 24 is some "interim" release; there are great new features for
Fedora users to deploy in their production environments right now!

Workstation
-----------

The Fedora 24 Workstation release features GNOME 3.20, with many
usability improvements such as easier input device and printer
settings, a better search interface, shortcut windows for keyboard
commands, and more convenient music controls.

Flatpak (formerly xdg-app) is another building-block feature, with
Software able to track installed Flatpaks and adding more features in
the future as the technology develops. The Software app has also grown
features to provide a full system upgrade directly from the desktop
from one Fedora release to the next, and the ability to provide
labeling as well as reviews of available software.

Fedora 24 continues our work on the X replacement, Wayland, a
next-generation graphics stack. Although this release will not default
to Wayland, it includes many improvements and is available as an option
for users to try out, and potentially will be the default stack in
Fedora 25.

Server
------

Fedora 24 Server edition is more streamlined and introduces more
modularity, which will become a major factor in future Fedora releases,
even as unnecessary packages were removed and the installer has a
smaller footprint.

FreeIPA 4.3 is a major feature for Fedora 24 Server.
FreeIPA is an integrated security information management solution. This
new version of FreeIPA features simplified replica installation and
improved replication technology management.

Cloud
-----

Fedora is on its way to being the best platform for containerized
applications, from base Fedora container images to a full-featured
platform as a service to run and manage them.

As we continue on this part of the journey, we are packaging OpenShift
Origin so it is easy to deploy. OpenShift Origin is a Platform as a
Service system based around Kubernetes, a production-grade container
orchestration project. OpenShift Origin is optimized for application
development and deployment. Origin makes it easy for developers to get
started building applications in containers and for operators to manage
them.

While not shipped in Fedora 24, per se, we have new infrastructure for
developing container images with applications layered on top of the
base Fedora Docker image. Fedora Developers will also see a layered
image build service, which provides tools for Fedora contributors to
start creating and shipping layered container images in Fedora 25 and
beyond.

Spins and Labs
--------------

Fedora Spins and Labs are alternative Fedora versions that offer
additional desktop environments, or other custom collections of
software, alongside the three editions that are the primary focus for
the project.

Our Spins make it easy for people to use other desktop environments.
Everyone has different needs and Spins are a great way for us to meet
them. The Fedora 24 spins release showcases KDE Plasma, Xfce, LXDE,
Mate-Compiz, and Cinnamon, all on the same Fedora base. Fedora Labs
offer collections of software for specific purposes: Games, Robotics,
and so on. They are pre-selected sets of software ideal for events or
audiences with specialized interests that need corresponding software.
Fedora 24 comes with a new lab focused on Astronomy, which contains a
set of tools for astronomers and astrophysicists.

ARM
---

ARM images are available, as usual, for several use cases. Fedora 24
ships desktop images, such as Spins and Workstation, but also provides a
Server image. A minimal Fedora image completes the wide set of install
options for your ARM board.

Alternate Fedora Architectures
------------------------------

For the first time, all of our secondary architectures, AArch64,
Power64 (ppc64, ppc64le) and s390x, are released simultaneously, rather
than trailing a little behind. This includes the Server edition for all
architectures and the Cloud and Docker base images for AArch64 and
Power64. Along with all the same enhancements as in the primary
architectures in Fedora 24, AArch64 and Power64 now have support for
golang, nodejs, mongodb; along with numerous other
architecture-specific enhancements. The architecture release notes
pages on the wiki have more specifics for each. Download these from:

https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/24/

Atomic Host
-----------

Fedora Atomic Host releases on a two-week schedule, and each release is
built on the latest released Fedora version. This schedule means the
Atomic Host will now be currently built on Fedora 24. You can try one of
the newer features with recent Fedora Atomic Host builds today. Since
Fedora 23 was released, Atomic Host has added a developer mode that
gives a better developer experience overall. When running in developer
mode, the host will download and start Cockpit and a tmux session to
make it easier to work at the console and obtain necessary information
such as the root password or IP address.
