Thanks for the suggestion, I did not think about provides at all

Provides is something I did not consider at all, and it looks like the
easiest way forward! Let me know when you get around to it;
alternatively, I can throw together a package PR.

I meant having both versioned and unversioned packages for the *same*
(default) stream available. Probably really overkill if the provides
works.

Default NodeJS stream packages with versioned names are not available

2024-03-20 Thread Jan Staněk
Hello all,
recently, when trying to spin up a CI for NodeJS in Fedora, I ran into a
slight problem: when a NodeJS stream is the default one, versioned
packages (i.e. nodejs20) are not generated and are not installable.

For example, on current rawhide, I cannot install `nodejs20` package,
only `nodejs`; this will give me the version 20.x as expected.
The problem is that this complicates the CI setup,
and requires me to take into account which Fedora I'm currently on.

As an example, when adding tests for nodejs20 dist-git[1],
I would like to simply specify `requires: nodejs20` into the test
metadata. However, with the current setup, I would need something akin
to the following (pseudocode, I did not really test if that would work):

requires:
- {% if fedora == 40 %}nodejs{% else %}nodejs20{% fi %}

In addition to being more complicated, this will also break if the
default stream for a given Fedora version ever change
(which is not unlikely to happen, as the upstream release schedule
is not really synchronized with the Fedore one).

---

I recall that the current status is the result of already existing
long discussion, with associated debugging, so I would like to have this
solved with as minimal disruption as possible. That being said,
what is the reason for having the non-versioned packages (`nodejs`) *in
stead* of the versioned ones (`nodejs20`), as opposed to *in addition*
to them?

The non-versioned packages could then require the appropriate versioned
ones and contain only symlinks (/usr/bin/node → /usr/bin/node-20,
/usr/lib/node_modules → /usr/lib/node_modules_20, etc.).

Let me know what you think!

Re: Adding/creating wasi-libc++ into the wasi-libc package

Maybe; I assume nor me nor Jan have any previous experience with
building libcxx, so we are not really qualified to answer.

The upstream wasi-sdk project (which my wasi-libc is one part of)
generally relies on llvm toolchain for everything. The SDK itself is
basically a llvm/clang/clang++ built to emit WASM with associated
standard libraries thrown in.

Now it might be possible to just build the GNU libcxx for wasm32-wasi
target (presumably using wasi-libc as the libc implementation)
and that would be usable; on the other hand, it might not, and the llvm
libcxx would be needed.

Tom, would you be able to provide a test build of libcxx for
wasm32-wasi, so the other Jan can see if that would work for him?
Then we can decide what approach to take next.

I recall trying to reach him via mail and not being successful;
however, since at that time we were pivoting to use another malloc

Re: Packaging a cross-compilation environment (wasi-libc)

Hi Jun,

"Jun Aruga (he / him)"  writes:
> Do you have a plan to create the RPM package for wasi-sdk[1]?

Not really, since we already (almost) have it available :)

The wasi-sdk consists of llvm toolchain (clang & friends) compiled so
that it can emit WASM code, and the wasi-libc, which implements standard
C library atop WebAssembly System Interface "syscalls".

Fedora's clang is already capable of emitting wasm
(`clang --target=wasm32-wasi -nostdlib …` works), so I see no need to
package it again. The thing we are missing is the wasi-libc,
which I aimed to package.

In other words, packaging wasi-sdk seems redundant to me
– you would have to maintain separate version of clang,
while the Fedora one is already able to compile what you need.
We still need the C lib.

Unfortunately, recent NodeJS releases had me occupied pretty much entirely,
so I was unable to work on this.
I hope I can get back to it this week. Fingers crossed.

Yeah, building entire compiler toolchain takes a while :)

I had a COPR of the WIP wasi-sdk, but I set it to expire automatically,
so it is currently not available. I'll try to spin in back up today
and send you a link, in case you want to start testing the Ruby stuff
with it already.

Have a nice day!

I've got some comments on the wasi-libc issue that another malloc might
work as well. Nevertheless, I'll try to contact Doug Lea with the
explanation and see where that leads.

Re: Packaging a cross-compilation environment (wasi-libc)

2022-08-29 Thread Jan Staněk
Hello all again!

Some good news: With a gentle poking [1], the wasi-libc now have a
tagged version(s) - or at least tags corresponding to the version
used in a WASI-SDK. That should help us better agreement on which
version to use down the road.

I'm hoping we will be able to build it as-is; the only thing I'm now
currently patching is the Makefile, so that it picks up CFLAGS from
the environment. These flags get filtered to only those applicable
to the wasm32-wasi target.

The main issue I'm fighting with currently is the CC0-licensed dlmalloc
and it's possible replacement with the musl one.
It seems that the dlmalloc is used mainly because it does not need
a mmap-like capabilities on the system; WebAssembly does not provide that.
I'm yet to succesfully compile the libc with any other malloc
implementation – any help or pointers appreciated.

I've also opened an inquiry about this upstream [3];
we'll see how that goes.

Packaging a cross-compilation environment (wasi-libc)

2022-08-16 Thread Jan Staněk
Hi list,
in order to be able to compile WASM natively on Fedora,
I'm trying to package wasi-libc[1] to provide the Web Assembly System
Interface.

[1]: https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-libc

My trouble is that this is in essence a cross-compilation environment,
and I have zero experience in trying to package these.
Also, I did not have much luck in trying to find any related
documentation.

Some issues I have run into so far:

- This is a libc implementation, which would probably conflict with the
  glibc package by default. Looking at musl, the solution seems to be to
  install into `/usr/{target}` prefix (i.e.  `/usr/wasm32-wasi/include`).
  Not really sure how this works, any pointers appreciated.

- Clang seems to have issue with `-fstack-clash-protection` flag for the
  `wasm32-wasi` target. What's the proper way to adjust these?

Any additional tips on cross-compilation support in Fedora would also be
appreciated :)

Thanks in advance for any help!

Probably, but this is not a new app, and given it's projected lifespan,
I do not consider it worthwhile to redo the authentication method.

Fedora ID and HTTPS

2022-02-03 Thread Jan Staněk
Hi list,

tl;dr: Why is the Fedora ID server using HTTP communication by default?

Some context:

I was debugging a login process for the www.softwarecollections.org
website, which utilizes Fedora ID. After pulling my hair for a bit,
it turned out that the somewhere along the network road,
any un-encrypted HTTP requests were getting blocked,
while HTTPS requests were allowed.
This causes the login process to timeout in the middle,
since it tried to do OpenID discovery using HTTP.

Now, I really do not understand how the OpenID is *supposed* to work,
but unless I missed something, the HTTP requests were issued
in reaction to initial response from the Fedora ID service.
To put it differently, my app was instructed to issue next request
in the process on HTTP, even if the original one was over HTTPS.

AFAIK that requests is immediately 302'd to HTTPS afterwards,
but given the network settings, I have never get that far.
That got me wandering – why is the HTTPS not used in the communication
by default? In other words, why are the URLs returned in responses from
Fedora ID using HTTP instead of HTTPS, when the redirect suggests
that HTTPS is preferred?

As stated above, I have no real idea about how OpenID actually works,
so link to the docs and "That's why" is considered a perfectly valid
answer :)

Preliminary thanks to anyone who takes the time to educate me on this!

Orphaning python-bsddb3

2021-11-09 Thread Jan Staněk
Hello all,
I'm the current maintainer for the python-bsddb3.
Recently, it FTBFS in Rawhide [1], and the upstream now considers it
deprecated [2], replaced with the `berkeleydb` python package.

[1]: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2019310
[2]: https://www.jcea.es/programacion/pybsddb.htm

I have packaged the `bsddb3` back when I was also maintainer of libdb
in Fedora. I no longer take care of it, and I'm not interested in
packaging the newer bindings. I've reached out to libdb maintainer,
and they are not interested either [3].

[3]: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2019310#c4

The only packages that require the python-bsddb3 packages seem to be:

exaile (runtime and buildtime)
gramps (runtime)
python-zarr (buildtime only)

The maintainers are CC'd; feel free to reach to me if you want to take
over python-bsddb3. If not, be advised that I intend to orphan it in a
week or two, and your package will probably need changes.

That's why I'm only doing this in Rawhide (and I would love to have
something akin to Rawhide-testing).

That will never work (long-term) without the cooperation with the
maintainers of the affected packages. I'm happy to help with any issues
caused by the update, but I would leave finding these issues to koschei.

Only other option I can think of is going the Rust route (packages only
in rawhide, anything depending on them must be a module), which I'm not
a fan of.

Un-orphaned NodeJS packages upgrades in rawhide

2019-04-29 Thread Jan Staněk
Hello,
I have recently (last week) taken on maintenance of several to-be
orphaned nodejs packages. Since the packages were not upgraded for a
while, they are usually a major version behind the upstream release.
I have started to remedy this, but given the relatively large jump in
version numbers, there might be issues. If your node package stops
building in rawhide suddenly, check the dependencies for updates;
feel free to reach to me with related issues.

The upgraded (or soon to be upgraded) packages in question:
- nodejs-bluebird
- nodejs-clean-css
- nodejs-grunt-known-options
- nodejs-path-exists

Keep in mind that the above list might expand in the near future,
given the current situation with many nodejs-* orphans.

If needed to keep them from orphaning, yes; but I cannot promise any
really active maintenance. The best I can promise is that I will *try*
to keep them up to date with upstream; any bugs will likely go unfixed
(unless included in upstream update, OFC).

Removing (or trying to) BerkeleyDB from Fedora

2015-01-08 Thread Jan Staněk
Hi guys,
as the new BerkeleyDB 6.x has a more restrictive license than the
previous versions (AGPLv3 vs. LGPLv2), and due to that many projects
cannot use it, perhaps it is time to get rid of it from Fedora for good
- or at least trim down the list of packages dependent on it as much as
possible.

The topic of BerkeleyDB v6 in Fedora was already discussed at this list
[1], and it turned out that peaceful cooperation of multiple libdb
versions in system is very problematic. As some packages cannot use
newer versions, we are basically stuck with v5 - unless we get rid of it
altogether or find another solution.

I already started probing which packages depend on libdb and what can
be done to remove that dependency. My findings are briefly documented
on [2] and so far it seems that with some work it could be done.

However, as I have only very hazy ideas on how some of the dependent
packages are used or why they need libdb, I would like to ask for
cooperation, ideally from the package maintainers themselves. The
information on how to remove dependency, what would need to be done in
addition to removing the dependency, or why it is a bad idea to try
drop the dependency are all valuable.

Thank you very much for any help. I welcome both edits in the wiki at
[2] in case of relatively simple solutions, and ideas, thoughts and
explanations on this mailing list.

BerkeleyDB 6 symbol versioning and associated problems

2014-05-07 Thread Jan Staněk
One of the planned parts of the F21 System Wide Change: BerkeleyDB 6 [1]
is the introduction of downstream symbol versioning of both versions of
the libraries (libdb with v6 and libdb5 with v5). This part is planned
in order to not introduce bugs similar to [2]. However, if we introduce
downstream versioning (as upstream is generally unresponsive), then we
face the problem similar to [3].

In short, if we introduce the downstream versioning, we will ship
library with ABI incompatible with upstream ABI. If we won't,
applications with modules/plugins (ie. Apache with mod_perl) that each
use different version of the library may break due to double symbols
(one from the v5 and other from v6, and ld would not know which symbol
is which).

I'd like to ask for suggestions on how to resolve this problem.

The ideal solution would be to convince upstream to version their
symbols (and I will contact them about it), but from my experience with
them this is very unlikely. Or we could try to keep an eye on
troublesome applications and force them and all their modules/plugins to
be built with the same version of libdb, but I have no idea if this is
even possible.

As I stated above, I welcome any suggestions. I would also like to hear
from someone responsible for the distro architecture which of the
aforementioned issues is more painful for us, so we know which path to
take if no complete solution is found.

Best regards and thanks for replies,
Jan

Well, both GPLv3+ and AGPLv3+ have clause ([1], [2]) that allow code
licensed under one of them link with code under the other one legally -
only if you run the full product on a server and it interact with users
trough network, you have to provide the source code.

So AFAIK in your case you can use even the v6 libdb without license change.

 At the FESCo meeting, we were unclear what happens to packages that don't
 get updated; will they sty at v5, or will they (immediately, or after a
 possible mass rebuild) start using v6?
 
 FESCo would prefer a transition plan in which we don't risk violating
 licenses by omission (e.g. requiring an active maintainer's action to move
 a package to v6, or having somebody sign up to verify all packages in case
 the owners forgot).
  Mirek
 
Well, in the current plan (make libdb5 compat package and updating the
libdb to v6), after the mass rebuild the packages would start using v6.

We could do it other way around (keep libdb in v5 and make libdb6
package), but this approach invites future problems with consecutive
versions (v7, v8 probably should not be packaged in libdb*6*). Using
another naming scheme would take care of part of the problem.

I would actually prefer somebody to verify all packages that Require
libdb and work with maintainers of said packages to eventually update
their requires. If no one signes up to this, I will do it as part of the
change (but even the I could use some help).

If this proposal seems good to you, I will update the wiki page to
reflect the agreement.

 The BerkeleyDB, used between others by rpm [1], changed license between 
 versions 5.* and 6.* to AGPLv3+ from GPLv2+. As those two licenses are not 
 compatible, packages using the BerkeleyDB either has to change its license 
 to 
 AGPLv3+ compatible, keep on using the older BerkeleyDB or use another DB 
 entirely.

 Does that mean than any GPL+ package linked to libdb-6 will have to
 change license to AGPLv3+? That would have significant impact not only
 on packagers but also on users.

I'm no lawyer, but as I understand it, any GPLv2+ package linked against
libdb-6 will need to change license - however, AFAIK it could change its
license to GPLv3+, because AGPLv3+ and GPLv3+ both have clauses that
make them compatible with each other ([1], [2]). On the other hand, the
clause [1] basically states (if I understood it correctly) that any such
combination is basically under AGPLv3+, so i don't know if it makes much
difference.

 Please correct the wiki page.  The old license was Sleepycat (a short
 license with a relatively strong copyleft component), and not GPLv2+.
 
 We had a packaging bug in some Fedora versions which labeled the libdb
 license incorrectly, but this was fixed in Fedora 20.

 Have the packages that cannot use libdb-6 because of the license been
 identified?  That probably needs to be confirmed before moving forward,
 due to libdb's symbols conflicting between versions if both get loaded.
 For example (don't think these have license issues, just picked them off
 the top of my head), if Apache linked with libdb-5 (because of license),
 and perl linked with libdb-6, mod_perl would be broken.
 
 If there are any conflicts because of the license incompatibility, then
 moving to libdb-6 may not be a good idea.
 

I'm aware of that problem, and it should be addressed by introducing the
symbol versioning (see [1], first bullet). The exact problem you are
mentioning was encountered before ([2]), and similar problem was dealt
with in [3]. I intend to follow that case.

To answer your question, I've not yet identified the packages, but I
will look into it (or you are welcome to :) ).

 Is this symbol versioning intended to be upstream?

Ideally, yes, but given the upstream willingness to incorporate
community-proposed changes, I fear that we may in fact introduce
downstream symbol versioning.
The fact is that in order to reliably provide both library versions, we
*need* the symbol versioning - preferably upstream, but if it won't be
possible, we will have to version downstream (or find another solution
to this problem).

I will contact the upstream about this.

 Good question. Jan, can you investigate it, please?

I built the upstream source for v6, and unfortunately it seems that the
upstream does not version the symbols - which from the quick glance over
them is the same as in v5. We will probably need to introduce the

Packaging of libdb-6+

2014-04-03 Thread Jan Staněk
Hello,
as Oracle is unlikely to re-license the libdb6 back to GPL, I like to
bring up the possibility of the libdb6 package. The idea is that the
current libdb package would still provide the libdb-5+, which is still
under GPL, and the new package would provide the newest, AGPL-ed libdb.

I would like to hear opinions on this idea, and any suggestions are welcome.

Cheers,
