this week in fedora (2018w46)
This was a pretty average week, with some bug-fix and feature updates, and a
(well-announced) SONAME
bump necessitating some rebuilds in fedora rawhide.
Also, in preparation for fedora 27 reaching its end-of-life, I’ve stopped
pushing updates and disabled nightly builds for this fedora release.
fedora updates
elementary packages
I’ve updated notejot
to the latest version (twice) this week, bringing UI
and build system improvements.
package | version | release | changes |
---|---|---|---|
notejot | 1.5.0 | 1.fc30, 1.fc29, 1.fc28 | 1.4.5 → 1.5.0 |
notejot | 1.5.1 | 1.fc30, 1.fc29, 1.fc28 | 1.5.0 → 1.5.1 |
I had to submit rebuilds of the elementary Calendar and the Date and Time
indicator for wingpanel, due to an SONAME
bump introduced with the latest
version of evolution-data-server
.
package | version | release | changes |
---|---|---|---|
elementary-calendar | 4.2.3 | 2.fc30 | Rebuild |
wingpanel-indicator-datetime | 2.1.2 | 2.fc30 | Rebuild |
This week, I was also able to push the final missing piece of the SignOn stack - the Mail plugin - to fedora.
package | version | release | changes |
---|---|---|---|
gsignond-plugin-mail | 0.3.0 | 1.fc30 | Initial packaging |
I also updated dippi
, the “buyers guide for screens”, to the latest version.
It now supports a dark mode, if it is enabled system-wide.
package | version | release | changes |
---|---|---|---|
dippi | 2.7.1 | 1.fc30, 1.fc29, 1.fc28 | 2.7.0 → 2.7.1 |
ruby packages
I also pushed updates to the latest version of the AsciiDoc plugin for Jekyll to fedora.
package | version | release | changes |
---|---|---|---|
rubygem-jekyll-asciidoc | 2.2.1 | 1.fc30, 1.fc29, 1.fc28 | 2.1.0 → 2.1.1 |
other packages
A new version of the editorconfig
C library was released this week, and I’ve
pushed it as updates to fedora 28 and later, since the API didn’t contain any
changes. The new version drops support for the pcre
library in favor of
pcre2
, without user-visible changes.
package | version | release | changes |
---|---|---|---|
editorconfig | 0.12.3 | 1.fc30, 1.fc29, 1.fc28 | 0.12.2 → 0.12.3 |
I also updated the GTK+ GUI for Syncthing to the latest version, which was released this week. It contains fixes for its write-only folder support.
package | version | release | changes |
---|---|---|---|
syncthing-gtk | 0.9.4.3 | 1.fc30, 1.fc29, 1.fc28 | 0.9.4.2 → 0.9.4.3 |
