Description Dave Dykstra 2019-04-04 21:19:03 UTC 
Description of problem:

fuse3 and fuse3-libs are not available on EPEL6 or EPEL7, although they are available in Fedora.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

>= 3.3.0

Additional info:

Version 3.3.0 of libfuse includes a great new feature that enables pre-mounting fuse filesystems and passing through the file descriptor as a /dev/fd/N mountpoint.  We want to use this to premount in singularity and start fuse applications (specifically the CernVM FileSystem, cvmfs) in user-maintained containers based on CentOS 6 & 7, so we for that we need the fuse3-libs.

I'm afraid this is not simple. What you're asking is to add a new package - fuse3 (we cannot alter an existing fuse package since we don't expand/change existing packages from various RHEL distributions). Unfortunately I'm personally not very interested in EPEL recently so I am not going to do it.

However I'd love to review it if anyone steps in as a potential fuse3 maintainer in EPEL.
Comment 2 Dave Dykstra 2019-04-05 11:47:22 UTC 
Hi Peter,

I think it should be pretty straightforward to build an existing Fedora package on EPEL, it's just a couple more branches.  That was my experience with the singularity package that I maintain.

I see that the existing packaging in Fedora builds both fuse and fuse3 rpms from the same spec file.  I'll try porting that to EPEL and see how it works, and plan on at least submitting a pull request.  If that's not sufficient I'd be willing to become a co-maintainer of the package for the EPEL builds.

Dave

Cool! Sounds like a plan.
I'll review this package then. However I still believe we have to open a separate review request for fuse3.
Comment 4 Dave Dykstra 2019-04-05 13:18:22 UTC 
As I understand it, it needs to be approved by the EPEL Engineering Steering Committee (EPSCO).  I will bring it up on the epel-devel mailing list and probably make a ticket for the formal request.  Other than that, I'm pretty sure it's just a matter of doing very similar commands (fedpkg build, fedpkg update) on the el6 and epel7 branches as are done on the f* branches.

Before I can make a pull request, there will need to be el6 and epel7 branches in the upstream git repository.  You could branch them off the master branch.  I don't know if you want to wait for approval from EPSCO for that, but it shouldn't hurt anything to create them; nothing will really happen until a maintainer runs fedpkg build in the branch.
Comment 5 Dave Dykstra 2019-04-05 18:04:27 UTC 
The folks on epel-devel told me that we'll have to split up the fuse package into two, a fuse and a fuse3 package.  I'm willing to do the work to make the conversion.  Is that alright with you?   They also pointed me to https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/ReviewGuidelines/#_package_review_process which says that the review process does not need to be followed to create a package with just a version number added, and to use the --exception flag to fedpkg request-repo.  Shall I go ahead and do the request-repo for fuse3, or do you want to do that part?  If I do it I assume I will be the original maintainer but I'll add you as a maintainer as well.
Comment 6 Dave Dykstra 2019-04-05 18:11:43 UTC 
I forgot to mention the reason that a split is needed is that we can't put a fuse package in EPEL because RHEL already has one.

Dave, please do. Also I would very welcome you to the Fedora fuse co-maintainers if it helps speed up the process.

Yes, that's understandable (and I've mentioned this issue earlier in comment 1).

Ok looking back now I see what you were saying.  I didn't understand at first.
Comment 9 Dave Dykstra 2019-04-05 19:15:03 UTC 
Here's the ticket requesting the fuse3 package: https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/10887
Comment 10 Dave Dykstra 2019-04-05 20:50:03 UTC 
Meanwhile while waiting for that I wanted to prove I could build on centos 7.  I managed to do that by adding a few %ifs in the current fuse.spec.

Building for EPEL6 is a no-go because there's no meson.  Meson was added to EPEL7 in https://partner-bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1484450 and the maintainer said "I hope you don't want to have it in EPEL6..".  We can probably do without fuse3 on EPEL6 too.

Peter, please review https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fuse3/pull-request/1 and https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fuse/pull-request/1
Comment 12 Dave Dykstra 2019-04-29 18:23:28 UTC 
Peter, are you still there?

Can you please review https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fuse/pull-request/1 ?

I assign this ticket to you again for now since it's waiting on you.

Hello Dave,
Sorry for the delay - I was busy a little. I've added you as a fuse co-maintaner to simplify things.

This PR looks ok but it has conflicts right now. Please fix them and merge by yourself (I'm at the vacations for the next two weeks).
