Stemming from recent Fedora package updates causing issues like a Mesa "stable" update causing breakage for Steam Play (Proton) games, a proposal was posted today for a Fedora SIG that would focus on production stability and incident management.
The proposal lays out the intent of this SIG:
"This proposal aims to create a SIG which will develop a recommended stream of work to improve our stability and robustness, and to improve our communication with users when problems arise that compromise that stability and robustness.
...
Proposal
To establish a Production Stability SIG focused on these goals:
1. Reducing the rate of breakage-causing updates pushed into the stable repos.
2. Improving communication with users as to the status of significant incidents – when is a fix expected?; how can users downgrade?; how can they best work around the issue pending a fix?
3. Understanding the lessons learned from incidents and how they inform the testing and release process. Which cycles back to: 1. Reducing the rate of breakage-causing updates pushed into the stable repos."
The SIG proposal in its initial form can be found on the Fedora Project Discourse . This special interest group ultimately still needs to be evaluated by the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) before it would be an approved SIG.
