this week in fedora (2019w11)
Taking the risk of sounding like a broken record, I’m going to claim that this was another pretty average week. There’s some build fixes for fedora rawhide, some updated ruby, python, and elementary packages - both for official fedora packages, and for packages that I maintain in my COPR repositories.
fedora updates
python packages
After the test suite for the magic-wormhole-mailbox-server
python package
started to fail in the CI builds, I added the newly missing python3-mock
package to the build dependencies to fix the builds again.
package | version | release | changes |
---|---|---|---|
python-magic-wormhole-mailbox-server | 0.3.1 | 3.fc31 | add BR on python3-mock to fix test suite |
ruby packages
Another stable release of the liquid
ruby gem was released last week, and an
updated package is on its way to the stable fedora repositories.
package | version | release | changes |
---|---|---|---|
rubygem-liquid | 4.0.3 | 1.fc31, 1.fc30, 1.fc29, 1.fc28 | 4.0.2 → 4.0.3 |
I also updated the SEO plugin for jekyll, the jekyll-seo-tag
ruby package, to
the latest version, which was released last week. It should fix issues around
twitter not handling post metadata correctly.
package | version | release | changes |
---|---|---|---|
rubygem-jekyll-seo-tag | 2.6.0 | 1.fc31, 1.fc30, 1.fc29, 1.fc28 | 2.5.0 → 2.6.0 |
elementary packages
I bumped the gala
package in fedora to a newer snapshot again - it contains a
fix for a visual issue in the application overview.
package | version | release | changes |
---|---|---|---|
gala | 0.3.1 | 0.23.20190307.git2c610b3.fc31, 0.23.20190307.git2c610b3.fc30, 0.22.20190307.git2c610b3.fc29 | 395670e → 2c610b3 |
Since all the necessary dependencies are available on fedora 30 and later, I turned on the Last.FM plugin in elementary’s Music application. I’ve also split off the two plugins that require additional libraries (the iPod and Last.FM plugins) into separate, optional sub-packages that can be installed when needed.
package | version | release | changes |
---|---|---|---|
elementary-music | 5.0.3 | 2.fc31, 2.fc30 | enable Last.FM plugin |
I also updated the Code package in fedora to the latest bug-fix release, which was tagged last week.
package | version | release | changes |
---|---|---|---|
elementary-code | 3.1.1 | 1.fc31, 1.fc30, 1.fc29 | 3.1.0 → 3.1.1 |
COPR updates
appcenter packages
Both the aesop
PDF reader and the quilter
Markdown editor had new releases
published last week. Both bring updated translations, and - in the case of
quilter
- an additional bug-fix for an issue that happened when files were
added to the sidebar.
package | version | release | changes |
---|---|---|---|
aesop | 1.1.0 | 1 | 1.0.8 → 1.1.0 |
quilter | 1.7.6 | 1 | 1.7.5 → 1.7.6 |
elementary staging packages
I also updated both the Security & Privacy and User Accounts plugs for switchboard, the elementary Settings application. Both contain updated translations and minor improvements.
Additionally, the User Accounts plug can now also correctly identify the currently logged in user on fedora. Some other remaining issues still prevent it from being submitted to fedora proper, though.
package | version | release | changes |
---|---|---|---|
switchboard-plug-security-privacy | 2.2.1 | 1 | 2.2.0 → 2.2.1 |
switchboard-plug-useraccounts | 2.2.1 | 1 | 2.2.0 → 2.2.1 |
