Description Aoife Moloney 2023-07-26 14:49:17 UTC
This is a tracking bug for Change: Retire Modularity
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetireModularity

Fedora will discontinue building modules for Fedora Linux 39 and further in the Fedora infrastructure and shipping modular content to users. The fedora-repos-modular and fedora-repos-rawhide-modular packages will be retired and obsoleted. The modular repositories will no longer be composed. Once Fedora Linux 38 reaches the end of life, Fedora's Module Build Service will be terminated. Whether or not dnf(5) would still support modularity from 3rd party repository is out of the scope of this proposal.

If you encounter a bug related to this Change, please do not comment here. Instead create a new bug and set it to block this bug.

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2023-08-22 21:46:09 UTC
MODIFIED implies this isn't complete yet - is there still something else to do here?

Comment 5 Petr Pisar 2023-08-23 07:19:17 UTC
I think that a user visible part (i.e. no modules in repositories, no modular repository configuration in /etc/yum.repos.d) has been completed. I tested a dry-run "dnf --releasever 39 upgrade" on F38 host yesterday and DNF correctly proceeded to a transaction check.
I think that a packager visible part (disabling building modules, disabling creating updates) has not yet been implemented.

I don't know whether it qualifies as completed. I tend to say yes.
Miro, your opinion?

Comment 6 Miro Hrončok 2023-08-23 16:52:16 UTC
As far as the Fedora Linux 39 goes, this should be treated as completed. The infrastructure bits can happen even after GA.

Comment 7 Aoife Moloney 2023-11-14 18:57:27 UTC
F39 was released on November 7th, so I am closing this tracker. If this Change was not completed, please notify me ASAP.

Comment 8 Anders Blomdell 2023-11-16 18:17:27 UTC
Our local mirroring just got 300% bigger!

Both these mirrorlists:

  curl 'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-modular-39&arch=x86_64'
  curl 'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-modular-f39&arch=x86_64'

returns:
  development/39/Everything/x86_64/os/

Which is probably not the intetntion?

Comment 9 Adam Williamson 2023-11-16 20:28:49 UTC
it is the intention, because upgrades:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2228827

I don't immediately see why this would result in "Our local mirroring just got 300% bigger!", though. Could you provide some more details on exactly what you're mirroring, and how?

Comment 10 Anders Blomdell 2023-11-17 08:33:36 UTC
Mostly because of the fact that we mirror(ed) each used repo individually, and by using these three entries:

  mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-39&arch=x86_64
  mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-modular-39&arch=x86_64
  mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-modular-f39&arch=x86_64

we ended up with three copies of everything, not a problem any more, since we removed the two modular repos.

Side note: it's a bit confusng that all the mirrored locations are development/39/Everything/ and not releases/39/Everything/

ah, yeah, that's wrong. something releng overlooked. doesn't hurt anything, but they'll update it soon, I've pinged them about it - thanks for noticing.

indeed you can just ditch the modular repos now.

Duly noted, Thank you!

I also closed the bug I filed when I (too late) found out that this bug referred me to file a new bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2250147),
sorry for the noise!
