Release Engineering
CPE Initiatives
EPEL
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL) is a Fedora Special Interest Group that creates, maintains, and manages a high quality set of additional packages for Enterprise Linux, including, but not limited to, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS and Scientific Linux (SL), Oracle Linux (OL).
Updates
- Reported installation/update bugs for awscli and arch-install-scripts in EPEL 8/9
- Fixed fail-to-install bug for breeze-icon-theme-devel in EPEL 9
- Rebuilt OpenImageIO in EPEL 9 Next due to rebased LibRaw in CentOS 9
Matrix Native Zodbot
With ongoing stability issues with the Matrix <-> IRC bridge and many contributors switching over to Matrix, zodbot has become increasingly unreliable. The bridge is currently shut off completely. This initiative will provide a future proof solution and allow us to conduct meetings without wasting time troubleshooting the bridge and zodbot.
Updates
- Matrix-bots development environment is updated to work pretty much OOTB. Also deploys mote / meetbot so we can test meeting logs rendering a lot better
https://github.com/fedora-infra/matrix-bots - More bugfixes and a handful of RFE’s for maubot-fedora in the works. Including better output for pagure.io tickets and bugzilla bug commands. Planning to push out a new release later this week.
- Create fedora-messaging schema for meetbot and use it in meetings
ARC Investigations
The ARC (which is a subset of the CPE team) investigates possible initiatives that CPE might take on.
Updates
- Dist-Git decoupling & ecosystem mapping
- Fedora Packagers interactions with dist-git added
List of new releases of apps maintained by CPE
- Minor update of Fedora Maubot from 0.2.1 to 0.3.0 on 2023-12-05
- Minor update of The New Hotness from 1.2.4 to 1.3.0 on 2023-12-05
