Since the end of June, I have been logging some of the activities I perform
in the Fedora project. I say some, because it is hard to log every thing you do
inside the community (e.g.: does patching a project upstream count as Fedora
activity?).
Essentially, the logs contain packaging activity. I will try to post these logs
in this blog often. In this post I will aggregate all the past logs I have,
which were not posted anywhere else.
Note that the logs contain quite raw notes I keep for myself, to track what I
have been doing, so sometimes they will be tougth to go through. I will always
(try to) post notes before the logs to summarize my past month’s activities.
(End of) June Fedora Work Log
In June, I started logging my activities, at that time, I was already working
on packaging hugo, so most of my work was focused in packaging golang stuff.
During that month I was also mentoring my Google Summer of Code student. We had
meetings 2 or 3 times a week during the whole program, but those activities
were not logged here.
Here are my raw notes:
2017-06-24:
Attended LATAM meeting
2017-06-25:
BZ#1426972 comments. Asking go-toml maintainer to update his package so I
can update go-i18n, which is needed for hugo
Tried building golang-github-fortytw2-leaktest, which fails for aarch64.
This is possibly due to a race condition, which needs investigation. Note
that I observed the same problem with f27 build, but triggering it again,
solved the problem, which leads to the thought of a possible race
condition.
2017-06-26:
Pushed new python-pysmell release to stable (f26)
Built go-i18n 1.8.0 in rawhide
Built go-i18n 1.8.0 in f26

Checked if go-i18n is ready for 1.8.1. It is ready, but we will build hugo
before updating it.

The problem is with “«Hi»", // angled quotes. Tried to change locale on specfile before tests.
mmark or blackfriday might be the cause angled quotes are not working
rolled back both mmark and blackfriday to rawhide versions, tests still pass locally
July Fedora Work Log
Still working on packaging hugo. nirik asked someone to package python-fontmake
in Fedora and I started working on it a couple months ago. There were some
follow-ups on some of the review requests I submitted, as noted below.
During July I was also mentoring my Google Summer of Code student. We had
meetings 2 or 3 times a week during the whole program, but those activities
were not logged here.

August Fedora Work Log
Still working on packaging hugo.
Got more follow-ups on the review for python-fontmake, which I have been
preparing to include in Fedora for a while now.
I have been reviewing a few golang packages, most of them are dependencies
for syncthing, which were finally included in Fedora this month \o/
During August, I was also mentoring my Google Summer of Code student. We had
meetings 2 or 3 times a week during the whole program, but those activities
were not logged here. The program ended in the end of the month, and David’s
work can be seen through the links in our GSoC
pages
This month, Pagure substituted
pkgDB. I
had some troubles with some of my repositories in the begining, but the infra
team was always there to support everyone having problems related to the
migration, the guys did an excellent job there. Live long, pagure :)
Here are my ray notes:
