Comment 1 Aoife Moloney 2025-08-19 21:12:33 UTC
Dear change owner, this is a reminder that your change is required to be 100% code complete by August 26, which is the start of beta freeze. Please provide a status update on your change in the Incomplete Changes Report if you are not able to move your change to 'ON_QA' before this date. If you need to defer your change to the next Fedora release, please let me know and I will reassign this bug and the change page. Thank you kindly.

Comment 2 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2025-08-20 14:52:33 UTC
yasm has been marked as deprecated:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/yasm/c/d98338a829e0a345c16de8e96efc792030b4e7a7?branch=rawhide

7 PRs have been opened and 4 have been merged already.

At least 2 packages do not support NASM and will have to keep using YASM:
udis86
virtualbox-guest-additions

4 remaining packages should be able to switch to NASM or drop YASM as build dependency.

Comment 3 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2025-08-22 11:45:19 UTC
3 packages still require YASM:
mingw-wine-geck
udis86
virtualbox-guest-additions

2 unmerged PRs remaining:
firefox (builds fine, maintainer unresponsive)
thunderbird (fails to build, investigating)

Comment 4 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2025-08-23 20:31:57 UTC
thunderbird is FTBFS for an unrelated reason.

Comment 5 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2025-08-28 12:02:48 UTC
firefox PR was merged and built.
