 xulrunner with Firefox, unless we have even more bundled libraries.

 the maintainer's job to fix things or orphan it. If nobody picks it up when
 orphaned, it should be retired like any other package. Firefox is NOT an

 browser) instead, and other desktop spins ALREADY ship the respective
 desktop's default instead of Firefox!

It doesn't help when a majority of voting FESCo members are biased
Firefox users who seem to hate the idea of Iceweasel (based on what I
gather from their meeting notes). There seem to be some preconceptions
about what happens when you remove the branding. No conclusive data
can be provided to indicate how much users Firefox brings the distro.

I also don't appreciate the comment at the meeting about non
contributing members on the mailing list complaining about this
issue. It's an argument often used to ignore people with valid
arguments who also don't happen to have a computer science degree.
Some of us advocate Fedora and that in itself is a contribution.
Fedora consists of volunteers in many areas, not all of them make
packages or write code.

Actually, I generally use epiphany.

Epiphany is still not serious about security:

Until this changes, I definitely won't use it.

I use midori here. Every once in a great while I will run firefox to
look at something or see some behavior, but I almost never have it
running. Please don't speak for others when you don't really know the
answer to the question.

Sure. I agree, but just discussing something or being vocal about it
means you expect someone else to do the work. In an all volunteer setup
like Fedora, you may have to realize that this means it won't be done
unless someone steps up to do it.

 19:59:38nirik  some examples: dracut was updated in f12/13 with a bunch of 
 patches. Were those all bugfixes?
 19:59:59pjones  if it's hard to tell, that means either a) we need to think 
 about how to make a generic exemplar of that case, or b) the packager needs 
 to be telling us more about the update
 20:00:07nirik  NetworkManager rebases to a git snapshot in all of 
 f12/f13/f14/rawhide at the same time.
 20:00:19pjones  And I think both of those are b there.
 20:00:59nirik  right, so more education...

 20:01:28mjg59  But insisting that all changelog elements be flagged with a

 20:01:46nirik  yeah.
 20:02:05pjones  mjg59: If your changelog looks like this, it's b in my 
 list:
 20:02:07pjones  * Wed Sep 22 2010 Harald Hoyerhar...@redhat.com  005-4 - 
 backported a lot of bugfixes from git
 20:02:31pjones  insisting that there's an actual changelog might be a 
 start? ;)


Well, I could list all bugs found in F12,F13,F14 in the changelog, which are 
also displayed in https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/dracut-005-4.fc13
But I cannot list all the RHEL6 bugs.

It's basically a new dracut version, but I tried only to cherry-pick the 
relevant patches of dracut upstream for the bugfixes + known bugs without 
bugzillas + patches needed for the cherry-picking.

It was a decision of:
- backport only the bugfixes + new code to adapt for the backporting (which 
might introduce new bugs)
or
- cherry-picking tested code, which fixes the bugs + tested patches needed for 
the cherry-picking

so I chose the latter and cherry-picked.

People have claimed that the Firefox brand helps Fedora. I'd like to see
some measurement of this. Especially in our target audience.

 3) Maintainers for Mozilla aren't being expected to follow package
 guidelines, citing the use of system libs as a source of extra work.

Yes and no. There are suggestions that Mozilla does eventually intend
to use the upstream libraries once they are considered good enough
(except for maybe libpng because of the fork) and so the exception is
temporary per library.

 4) People still seem to think that Iceweasel is somehow inferior to
 Firefox. Plus if Fedora removed the branding it wouldn't remove
 compatibility, source code, plugin support and wouldn't introduce
 so-called sketchy patches.

I don't think that just debranding Firefox would be all that much extra
work. Doing that would leave us positioned to do other changes when we
were ready and to be able to more quickly respond to security issues.
Replacing on of the library dependencies would be work and doing all of
those might not currently be sustainable. Also the maintainers of the
affected libraries in Fedora would need to help as there are patches in
Firefox for some libraries that aren't upstream.

There was also talk about whether or not it would be allowed for there
to be a separate Iceweasel package in Fedora. This might be done to
test the feasibility of maintaining it. There were mixed feelings about
this amoung FESCO.

Well, he could list them in the bug field, but bodhi would elide

No, it's that upstream doesn't want them to unbundle those libs right

Thanks. 

This seems like a lot of change for stable releases, but if they are
all bugfixes that might matter to those users I suppose it makes sense. 

Thanks for adding more details.

19:33:45 nirik Shall we start with meeting time?
19:33:54 nirik #topic #473 new meeting time (redux)
19:33:54 nirik https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/473
19:34:09 nirik has everyone updated their 
http://whenisgood.net/ee8prq/results/z5binx entry?
19:34:15 ajax i have
19:34:25 * nirik 's didn't really change any
19:35:04 nirik so, currently we have 0 times everyone can attend. ;)
19:35:18 pjones yeah :/
19:35:22 nirik a few times with 1 person left out, but everyone else...
19:35:31 pjones and excluding one person doesn't really help that much
19:36:11 nirik I guess we need to confirm that everyone updated before we do 
anything else?
19:36:24 notting although one of the times where mclasen is the only holdout 
his update info says will become available in a couple of weeks
19:37:01 nirik oh?
19:37:12 mjg59 Wait. I'm suddenly worried by the timezones here.
19:37:15 nirik wed 1-2?
19:37:17 pjones So can we move to that time and then hope that he can make do 
responding to trac until then?  sounds not that great.
19:37:27 nirik mjg59: yeah, the site is confusing.
19:37:28 pjones mjg59: yeah, the site's representation of timezones is weird.
19:37:30 notting nirik: 2-3 your time. unless i'm forgetting what your time is
19:37:31 nirik I think it's in my local time.
19:37:39 pjones nirik: right.
19:37:41 pjones it's in mountain
