Re: moby-engine (also known as Docker) maintenance in Fedora
Hi everyone, The moby-engine package [1] (also known as Docker) has been orphaned in Fedora and is looking for a new maintainer. The waiting period will soon be over and the package will be retired if nobody steps in. This means that the package will be unavailable starting with the next release of Fedora (Fedora 38) that should happen in approximately 5 to 6 months. If you are using this package and are interested in helping maintaining it, now is the time to come forward! 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. As I also heavily use docker for my dayjob, and I see that moby-engine is still unmaintained (and I guess a couple of days away from retirement), I intend to give it a shot to keep the package alive.

Yes, the package is complicated :(. It could use some cleanup (see the end of [1]), but I'm trying to step away from the package, and I haven't had time to.

The CoreOS Working Group apparently care about moby-engine and want it to be included in FCOS. I picked up on this and asked if they'd be willing to help maintain it. The two developers involved (who are paid by RH to work on FCOS) made clear that they are uninterested in doing so[^1] and took it upon themselves to find a volunteer to maintain the package. We got more contributions from an outside contributor who wasn't a package maintainer (3 PRs which involved rebasing patches, updating dependencies, and diagnosing build failures) than the FCOS team (0 PRs, 5 pings on their issue tracker and IRC, this email). I'm not trying to cause unnecessary strife here and they have apologized, but I'd be dishonest if I said I wasn't disappointed with the way this situation was handled. [^1]: which is alright.

No offense taken. This is a great opportunity to add some clarity. Red Hat doesn't ship Docker in products any longer. It was dropped in RHEL8+: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3696691 Docker (moby-engine) is in Fedora because of the community, which is obviously what makes Fedora so great.

Why? Red Hat no longer uses or ships moby-engine or any of it's derivatives, it's moved all it's focus to the podman ecosystem, if it was up to Red Hat they would have dropped moby from FCoS long ago, I suspect it's there up until now to give the community a choice. ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org 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@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
