Minizip Renaming

Summary

Renaming the "minizip" package to "minizip-ng" to align with the upstream naming.

Owner


Current status

Detailed Description

Upstream has changed the naming of the "minizip" package to "minizip-ng" and we should follow their naming so there is no confusion about which package is the right one.

The "minizip" and "minizip-compat" provides different shared libraries which prevent us from conflicting sonames.

The plan behind this change can be put into 4 steps which will be completed separately and in the given order:

NOTE: All of the Provides and Obsoletes will be added to the *-devel subpackages as well.

1) Create a new package "minizip-ng" which will Provides: minizip = %{sameevr} and Obsoletes: minizip < 3.0.3

2) Rebuild all of the packages that BuildRequire/Require "minizip" package to BuildRequire/Require new "minizip-ng" package

3) Retire the "minizip" package following the Package Retirement Process

4) Wait for the Fedora 42 when it's ensured that every user has updated at least to the Fedora 38. Remove the Provides and Obsoletes from the "minizip-ng" package

Benefit to Fedora

Fedora should always respect upstream package naming, so the users are not confused about which package are they installing. This naming change will align the naming with the upstream.

Scope

  • Proposal owners: New package "minizip-ng" will be created and the "minizip" package will be retired. More described in the Detailed Description.
  • Other developers: Change the names of their BuildRequires/Requires accordingly.
  • Release engineering: No action required
  • Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
  • Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)


  • Alignment with Objectives:

Upgrade/compatibility impact

When following the plan in Detailed Description there will be no need for manual action. Everything will be handled by the automated dnf upgrade.
