Release 8.0.0 · fedora-infra/bodhi · GitHub

Released on 2023-12-09.
This is a major release that introduces several breaking changes. Please read the details below and make sure to update any customized value in your config file.

Backwards incompatible changes

• The ‘required testcases’ feature is removed, as it mostly just duplicated what we do with Greenwave, only worse. The SaveUpdate schema is modified (#5548).
• The custom skopeo-light script has been dropped. Please adjust your config file to use the real skopeo command (#5505).
• Build NVRs are added to the Bugzilla comment. Please adjust initial_bug_msg in Bodhi config during upgrade (#5513).
• Settings for repodata and updateinfo can now be set by an external config file and no more hardcoded. Custom settings can be applied per Release, see the devel/ci/integration/bodhi/createrepo_c.ini file for reference (#5521).

Dependency changes

• libcomps >= 0.20 is required to correctly validate repodata created with createrepo_c >= 1.0. Bodhi can now support all compression method available in createrepo_c (#5455).
• Authentication and Authorization have been ported to Pyramid 2.0 Security Policies and session serializer has been switched from PickleSerializer to JSONSerializer. Bodhi will now require Pyramid > 2.0. (#5091).
• Bodhi now can run with sqlalchemy 2. At the same time the minimum required sqlalchemy version is raised to 1.4 (#5105).

Server upgrade instructions

This release contains database migrations. To apply them, run:

$ sudo -u apache /usr/bin/alembic -c /etc/bodhi/alembic.ini upgrade head

Summary of the migrations:

• The Release model has gained a released_on column which reports the date of first release.
• The requirements column has been removed from both Package and Update models.
• The email column of the User model has been modified to UnicodeText.

Features

• Support for storing critical path data in PDC is removed, as it is no longer needed (#5431).
• Server: added a get_critpath_components json endpoint to list critical path components configured for a Release (#5484).
• The release timeline graph now uses logarithmic scale for better display (#5492).
• The webUI now allows unpushing Rawhide updates which fail gating tests (#5542).
• Releases can now inherit buildroot override tags from other releases by settings in Bodhi config file (#4737).
• Update notes are now converted to plaintext when printed in email or messages (#5049).
• Members of QA groups defined in configuration are now able to waive or trigger tests for any update, despite they’re packagers/provenpackagers or not (#5448).
• Make the update.comment message schema more informative (#5469).
• Release data now give information about the status of pre_beta and post_beta and of the first date of release (#5481).
• Builds associated to unpushed updates can now be moved to other existing updates (#5485).
• JSON APIs now support quering Releases by multiple states, for example ?state=pending&state=frozen (#5518).
• The UpdateReadyForTesting message format is simplified, and the message is now published on update creation and edit with changed builds instead of push to testing (#5538).

Bug fixes

• Exclude locked updates being composed from being modified by cron tasks (#5524).
