Modernize Thread Building Blocks

This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux.
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.

Summary

Fedora is currently shipping version 2020.3 (released July 10, 2020) of the Thread Building Blocks library. The current upstream version is 2021.7 (released October 28, 2022). The Fedora community has expressed interest in moving the TBB package to track a more modern version of the upstream.

Current status

  • Targeted release: Fedora 39
  • Last updated: 2023-02-05
  • FESCo issue: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
  • Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
  • Release notes tracker: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>

Detailed Description

Fedora has shipped with version 2020.3 of the Thread Building Blocks library since Fedora 33. The upstream project made a decision to break backward compatibility after this release. As packages have moved to match the upstream's changes it has become more difficult to continue to defer updating the Fedora packaging for TBB. The situation is further complicated by not all dependent packages having been updated to track the latest upstream changes, as detailed in this comment on the tracking issue.
