Fedora 24 Accepted Self Contained Changes Proposals

These changes have been accepted by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee for the Fedora 24 Release as Self Contained Changes.

Crypto policy support for Kerberos

Fedora supports a system wide crypto policy and Kerberos (libkrb5) should respect that policy and adjust its crypto-related configuration based on it.

Darktable 2.0

Update Darktable to new 2.0 major release

  • Completed: no

Deprecation of ipcalculator

Fedora provides two tools for IP address calculations. That is the ipcalculator and ipcalc. Ipcalculator was geared towards being used by administrators and ipcalc for use with scripts. This changed with Fedora 23 which provided an updated ipcalc tool which can be used both interactively and from scripts. That, and the fact that ipcalculator is not IPv6-ready suggests we should deprecate ipcalculator and keep a single tool for the job, ipcalc.

OpenShift Origin

OpenShift Origin is an Open Source Platform as a Service Cloud offering from Red Hat. The goal of this Change is to bring OpenShift Origin Architecture v3 into the Fedora proper to allow users to easily deploy OpenShift on Fedora.

Product Definition Center

The Product Definition Center (PDC) is a webapp and API designed for storing and querying product metadata. We want to stand up an instance in Fedora Infrastructure and automatically populate it with data from our existing releng tools/processes. It will enable us to develop more sane tooling down the road for future releases.
