fedora-third-party-0.10-1.fc36

FEDORA-2022-1ed936a3ac created by otaylor a year ago for Fedora 36

This update fixes a number of problems with the fedora-third-party package which is used to manage third-party RPM and Flatpak repositories.

  • Fixes a regression in fedora-third-party-0.9.1 where fedora-third-party would crash frequently on some systems when run by GNOME Software to list repositories.
  • Fixes crashes that occured if the Flatpak installation was corrupted (the installation will still need to be fixed separately.)
  • Fixes a problem where if the system was installed with Fedora 35 and the user opted out from Third Party Repositories, the "Fedora Flathub Selection" repository wouldn't be available in the third-party repository dialog.

Testing instructions

  • To test fix for bz#2071250:
    • install this package
    • install the full Flathub remote from flathub.org
    • check that 'fedora-third-party list' doesn't crash
  • To check robustness improvements from bz#2035611 (on a scratch install)
    • install package from this update
    • flatpak remote-delete flathub
    • rm /var/lib/fedora-third-party/state
    • break the flatpak installation by mv /var/lib/flatpak/repo/objects /var/lib/flatpak/repo/objects.bak
    • check that fedora-third-party list doesn't crash
    • check that fedora-third-party enable doesn't crash, but warns
    • unbreak the flatpak installation by mv /var/lib/flatpak/repo/object.bak /var/lib/flatpak/repo/objects
    • fedora-third-party refresh
    • Check that flatpak remote-list now shows a filtered flathub repository
  • To test the improvement to bz#2011274,
    • install a system with Fedora 35, opting out from third-party repositories, note that "Fedora Flathub Selection" does not appear in the GNOME Software repositories dialog
    • Upgrade to Fedora 36 and the repository should still be missing.
    • Install the package from this update
    • run 'dnf reinstall fedora-flathub-remoteto to triggerfedora-third-party refresh` - the repository should now be present.

I tested upgrading from F36 Beta and from F35. In both cases, just installing fedora-third-party-0.10-1.fc36 created the "Fedora Flathub Selection" option in gnome-software. It was not needed to run "dnf reinstall fedora-flathub-remote" as the update description claims.
