Heads up: No more snap plugin in gnome-software

2019-07-11 Thread Richard Hughes
Hi all, In Fedora 31 I'll be disabling the snap plugin from GNOME Software. It's never been enabled in RHEL and so this change only affects Fedora. It's also not installed by default and so this change should only affect a few people. It's also not really a FutureFeature, it's a RemovalOfFeature

Removal of glibc-langpacks-all -> 1.0?kB

2019-02-02 Thread Richard Hughes
Hi all, One of my package builds (fwupd) in F30 is failing in the unit tests, with this failure comparing the expected output of a to_string() function: - Size: 1.0 kB + Size: 1.0?kB I assume it's due to the removal of glibc-langpacks-all from the buildroot.
