The Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) this week approved a number of additional features for the upcoming Fedora Linux 43 release.
Fedora 43 is now cleared to ship packages for Hare as a new systems programming language aiming to be simple, stable, and robust. Hare itself remains under development while now is approved by FESCo to package up and ship the Hare toolchain in the Fedora 43 repository.
FESCo also approved shipping the upcoming PHP 8.4 release in Fedora 43, to no real surprise there. FESCo also granted approval for deprecating YASM in favor of NASM. The YASM assembler is unmaintained and NASM just better off these days.
Shipping Threaded Building Blocks 2022.2 as the newest update to Intel’s oneAPI Threaded Building Builds (TBB) is now approved too.
FESCo this week also approved the proposal for hardlinking identical /usr files by default that are found within Fedora’s RPM packages.
More details on these newly-approved changes for the Fedora 43 release due out later in the year via this FESCo mailing list post.
