libsoup 3 is a new API version of libsoup that provides support for HTTP/2. Unfortunately, it is incompatible with libsoup 2. To avoid misbehavior, applications will crash on startup if linked to both libsoup 2 and libsoup 3 at the same time. Because many libraries depend on libsoup, and applications have limited control over which libsoup they link to transitively, this transition will be tricky and requires attention from all Fedora packages that depend on libsoup, even if only indirectly.
Owners, do not implement this work until the FESCo vote has explicitly ended. The Fedora Program Manager will create a tracking bug in Bugzilla for this Change, which is your indication to proceed. See the FESCo ticket policy and the Changes policy for more information.
Note that we already have at least one bug related to this, so I pre-created the tracking bug.
+1
Assuming further switches to libsoup3 will be better coordinated than the first one 😅
I'm going to help with this change to get all the packages actually built and updated for libsoup3.
I think this can now technically be considered approved, since the ticket was opened over 7 days ago and it has received only +1 votes?
Just making sure so we don't delay GNOME 43 builds unnecessarily.
Yep, it's been a week.
APPROVED (+7, 0, 0)
