Open Seats on the Fedora Packaging Committee
Just a reminder that the deadline for this is just less two weeks away now, so here's the information again if you want to apply: The Fedora Packaging Committee has some open seats and is accepting submissions from interested candidates to serve on the FPC. This position involves not only reviewing Packaging Guideline drafts submitted to the FPC for consideration, but also helping rewrite drafts to resolve issues in a more acceptable fashion. Additionally, the FPC reviews UID/GID soft static assignment. Currently the FPC meets on IRC weekly, on Thursdays based around 12:00 east coast US time, for approximately an hour. That can change slightly, but any new time would need to be good for all the members (East Coast US and German TZs, at least). FPC members serve for as long as they are willing, there are currently no term limits. All decisions are voted on using a +1 (for), 0 (abstain), and -1 (against) mechanism, and all decisions must be approved by a majority (+5). FPC Meetings do not happen if a quorum (5 members) is not present. Candidates who are interested should provide the following details to the FPC for consideration, by emailing it directly to me (james(a)fedoraproject.org). The FPC will consider all candidates, but strongly prefers candidates who have extensive experience packaging in Fedora. Due to the current environment we will be accepting applications for the next _two_ weeks (deadline Wednesday, 2020-06-24). Name: FAS Account: Provenpackager?

Announcement: Aim to remove libdb-java from Fedora-rawhide
Hello everyone, we are aiming to remove libdb-java package from Fedora-rawhide, as we are currently preparing for jdk update from jdk-1.8 to jdk-11 in Fedora rawhide. The problem is that we are unable to rebuild this package with jdk-11. It is still possible to "hack" it and rebuild it with jdk-1.8, but that can cause unexpected runtime behaviour according to JVM-11, which will soon be default in Fedora-rawhide. There seems to be no packages, which depend directly to libdb-java and upstream does not support version 5.3.28 anymore. If anyone has any reasons why this should not be made, or someone is currently active user of this JDBC connector, please leave a comment with your opinion in the tracker [1] mentioned below. There is also an existing tracker for deprecating libdb in Fedora [2], so this can be understand as a first step. Additional info about jdk-11 here [3].
