Fedora 35 Change: Add Fedora Kinoite as a variant (Self-Contained Change proposal)
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Fedora_Kinoite == Summary == Introduce Fedora Kinoite as a variant of Fedora alongside Fedora Silverblue. == Owner == * Name: [[User:siosm| Timothée Ravier]] (travier AT redhat DOT com) * FESCo shepherd: [[User:Ngompa| Neal Gompa]] (ngompa13 A gmail D com) * SIG: [[SIGs/KDE|KDE SIG]] == Detailed Description == Fedora Kinoite is an immutable desktop operating system featuring the KDE Plasma desktop. It is based on the same technologies as Fedora Silverblue (rpm-ostree, Flatpak, podman). Fedora Kinoite is to the Fedora KDE Spin what Fedora Silverblue is to Fedora Workstation. We chose the Kinoite name for the following reasons: * KDE based projects traditionally start with a 'K' * Kinoite is a blue mineral (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinoite), thus referring to both the 'silver' and 'blue' part of Silverblue and the blue color of the KDE logo. * "Kinoite" means "There is a tree" in Japanese (https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto=en=kinoite=translate), thus referring to the 'tree' in 'ostree'. == Benefit to Fedora == This will make Fedora more attractive to users that are interested in immutable OSes and underlying technologies but would prefer to use the KDE desktop environment. This should also strengthen Silverblue as more effort may be put into fixing the issues in the shared technologies. == Scope == * Proposal owners: ** The KDE SIG will submit the [https://pagure.io/pungi-fedora Pungi changes] needed to add this new variant to the compose. ** The KDE SIG will submit the changes to add a new sub-package to [https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-release fedora-release]. ** The KDE SIG will maintain the Kinoite specific rpm-ostree config in the [https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config workstation-ostree-config repo]. * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: Submitted as [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/9952 #9952]. * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Trademark approval: The "Fedora Kinoite" trademark has been [https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/344 approved] * Alignment with Objectives: N/A == Upgrade/compatibility impact == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == How To Test == This edition has been built and made available as an unofficial preview and can be tested with the instructions from this [https://fedoramagazine.org/discover-fedora-kinoite/ Fedora Magazine article]. == User Experience == Current limitations (last updated 2021-01-18): * No rpm-ostree support in Discover (graphical package and update manager). A Season of KDE is in progress to work on that. * Partial Flatpak support in Discover. * [https://pagure.io/fedora-kde/SIG/issue/13 KDE applications are not yet available as Flatpak from the Fedora registry]. == Dependencies == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Contingency Plan == Report to the next release. * Contingency mechanism: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Blocks product? N/A == Documentation == A lot of the known issues impacting Fedora Kinoite are shared with Silverblue and their resolution is the same: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/troubleshooting/. It is not clear for now if Kinoite specific documentation is needed but a landing page with pointer to known issues might be good. == Release Notes == Fedora Kinoite has been introduced as a new variant of Fedora Linux featuring the KDE desktop environment and the same technologies as Silverblue (rpm-ostree, Flatpak, podman). -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis ___ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-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-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org
fedpkg request-repo is broken
Hi all, While working on master to rawhide change [0], we made changes to fedpkg and other tools, while we thought of coordinating about when to release it (post mass rebuild) fedpkg-1.40-2 got released with the changes in F33 and rawhide. This has issues with processing new repo requests [1]. I am working on a fix to consider new repo requests with 'rawhide' branches as if they are made for 'master' branches. While we fix this and send an update to fedscm-admin tool, if you see an error with your new repo requests, change the branch name to master in the tickets filed against fedora-scm-requests repo [2]. Thanks for understanding.
