Key Discussion Points
#3497 (Update qtkeychain, qxmpp and Kaidan): The committee approved an
exception to the updates policy to allow a soname bump for these
packages on stable Fedora releases. The approval is conditional on
COPR rebuilds of reverse dependencies not uncovering any new issues.
#3556 (ibus-speech-to-text WhisperCpp support): The discussion on this
change proposal was deferred. Concerns were raised about the package
requiring users to download third-party models to be useful, and the
committee requested more information from the change owner regarding
user experience, the feasibility of packaging a model, and potential
breakage.
Policy on In-App Downloads: A discussion was initiated regarding the
need for a formal policy on packages that download external content
(like AI models) post-installation. The current guidelines focus on
the license of the content, but not the origin or supply chain
security. This will be discussed further on Fedora's mailing lists.
F44 Branching Delay: A decision was made to delay the F44 branching by
approximately 24 hours. This is to allow for the completion of mass
rebuilds (GHC, Golang) and to address a critical bug that breaks
graphical sessions.
Change Wrangler Process: The absence of a dedicated Change Wrangler is
causing process issues, including delays in creating Bugzilla trackers
for approved changes. This impacts the ability to track whether
changes are testable by the deadline. The committee discussed process
improvements, such as acting on approved changes sooner and
potentially using Forgejo for better tracking in the future.
FESCo Documentation Migration: A ticket has been filed to migrate
FESCo's documentation to the new Fedora Forge (Forgejo). The group
discussed the appropriate ownership and membership structure for the
new Forgejo organization.
Action Items
Máirín Duffy: Will post additional questions to the change owner on
the Fedora Discussion thread for ticket #3556 (ibus-speech-to-text
WhisperCpp support) before FESCo holds a final vote.
zbyszek: Will chair the FESCo meeting on 2026-02-10.
nirik: Will create a collaborative document for FESCo to outline
requirements for the CVE ticketing process, which will then be shared
with the relevant team.
