Fedora 27 Accepted System Wide Changes Proposals

These changes have been accepted by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee for the Fedora 27 Release as System Wide Changes.

32 bit UEFI Support

Some x86 systems ship with a 64 bit CPU, but 32 bit UEFI firmware. It is possible to use a 32 bit UEFI grub build to boot a 64 bit kernel and distribution on these systems. So far this setup has not been supported in Fedora. This feature is about adding support for installing and booting Fedora on this hardware.

Host and Platform

Modular Server

The Modularity Working Group, Factory 2.0, Base Runtime, and Server Working Group would like to propose using the modular infrastructure for creating and delivering the Fedora Server Edition for Fedora 27. While we are still working through some of the kinks leading up to the release of Fedora 26, we believe that the changes to the infrastructure and technology implementations will be available with sufficient time to harden the components in time for the 27 release.

Parallel Installable Debuginfo

debuginfo packages can be installed in parallel to make it easier to trace, profile and observe what programs are doing or to debug when they have crashed. That way debugging, tracing or profiling programs can be done independent of whether they are 32bit, 64bit, a slightly newer or older version than currently installed or even from a different architecture.

Status: Finished

Separate Subpackage and Source Debuginfo

Allow to install just the debuginfo for a subpackage and/or without the source files. The debuginfo packages are huge because they contain debuginfo and all sources for all subpackages. Being able to install only the debuginfo for the subpackage that is installed reduces the size that needs to be downloaded to analyze, trace, profile or debug a program or core file. Some tracing and profiling tools don't need the actual source files to provide stack traces or insert probes. So installing the debugsources should be optional.

Fedora 27 Accepted Self Contained Changes Proposals

These changes have been accepted by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee for the Fedora 27 Release as Self Contained Changes.

Bodhi Non-RPM Artifacts

Bodhi, the Fedora Updates System, should be able to process more than just RPMs.

Chinese Serif Fonts

Fedora already provides default Chinese Sans fonts, now Fedora 27 will also provide default Chinese Serif fonts.

Decouple system java setting from java command setting

By default, Java applications installed from RPMs are run with JVM found on PATH. We propose to run them with default system JVM, not considering PATH. Users will still be able to override the default using JAVA_HOME environment variable as before.

Improved Bay- and Cherry-Trail device support

Owner: Jiri Vanek

Making sudo pip Safe (Again)

At the present time, running sudo pip3 in Fedora is not safe. Pip shares its installation directory with dnf, can remove dnf-managed files and generally break the Python 3 interpreter. We propose a series of measures that will make it safe to use.

New default cipher in OpenVPN

Since the discovery of the SWEET32 flaw, ciphers using cipher-blocks smaller than 128-bits are considered vulnerable and should not be used any more. OpenVPN uses Blowfish (BF-128-CBC) as the default cipher, which is hit by the SWEET32 flaw. This proposal changes the default cipher to AES-256-GCM while in parallel allowing clients to connect using AES-256-CBC, AES-128-CBC or the deprecated BF-CBC,

OpenSSH Server Crypto Policy

OpenSSH clients follow the system-wide crypto policy since Fedora 26. This F27 change modifies the openssh server configuration to adhere to the system-wide policy. That will allow openssh server configuration to adapt to the multiple security levels offered system-wide.

Owner: Jakub Jelen
Last updated: 2017-08-14
Completed: yes

Platform Python Stack

A revisit of the System Python change from Fedora 24. It has been renamed from System Python to Platform Python not to collide with upstream PEP 432.

Owner: Tomáš Orsava
Last updated: 2017-08-11
Completed: yes

Remove SSH-1 from OpenSSH clients

Upstream removes support for SSH-1 protocol and we plan to do the same in Fedora. The protocol is years obsolete and not even supported in current default binaries (only in openssh-clients-ssh1 subpackage).

Owner: Jakub Jelen
Last updated: 2017-07-25

Remove krb5-appl

Remove src:krb5-appl (produces packages krb5-appl-clients and krb5-appl-servers) from the distribution.

+===[[Changes/ParallelInstallableDebuginfo | Parallel Installable Debuginfo]]===
+debuginfo packages can be installed in parallel to make it easier to trace, profile and observe what programs are doing or to debug when they have crashed. That way debugging, tracing or profiling programs can be done independent of whether they are 32bit, 64bit, a slightly newer or older version than currently installed or even from a different architecture.

+===[[Changes/SubpackageAndSourceDebuginfo | Separate Subpackage and Source Debuginfo]]===
+Allow to install just the debuginfo for a subpackage and/or without the source files. The debuginfo packages are huge because they contain debuginfo and all sources for all subpackages. Being able to install only the debuginfo for the subpackage that is installed reduces the size that needs to be downloaded to analyze, trace, profile or debug a program or core file. Some tracing and profiling tools don't need the actual source files to provide stack traces or insert probes. So installing the debugsources should be optional.
