I am using F37 and F38.
I noticed that pipewire on F37 is at version 0.3.71 and on F38 it"s at version 0.3.73.
Pipewire is still a little bit experimental and I am wondering why it’s not updated anymore on F37 ?
Again, an update of pipewire on F38 but nothing on F37.
The amount of update on F37 makes me think that you already have abandonned f37. Am I right ?
Once a new Fedora version is released, it generally only receives maintenance updates to fix security issues and other bugs. See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/lifecycle
Yes, I know. But I have F38 and F37 installed and I really a minimal set of updates on F37 and nothing related to pipewire for weeks.
I feared that, following the layoff orchestrated by IBM, that there is not enough people for the updates on F37 and that the work has now switched quasi exclusively on f38 …
That might be true if there were only employees working on the software. The fedora community (including developers) it seems are mostly volunteers and it appears only a very small percentage are actually employees of either redhat or fedora so I would anticipate minimal impact from that action.
Yes, I can understand stand, but I think that some key packages are managed by redhat / fedora people. Like the kernel (with is updated at the same pace on F37 / 38) and pipewire with is not updated for week now on F37.
I am a big user of pipewire-jack and I think these updates are really required. The situation of pipewire-jack has really improved but still, there are some minor problems.
And generaly, I don’t see that much updated on F37 wrt F38 … That’s why I asked the question.

pipewire package overview: pipewire - Fedora Packages
I’d recommend talking to the package maintainer The Wim and find out why no pipewire updates have been built for f37 recently.
Thanks for the links:
I was grabbing these information via:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pipewire
And via:
$ dnf --release=37 info pipewire
$ dnf --release=38 info pipewire
I open a ticket on bugzilla and the package pipewire will be updated on F37.
A build and a lot of test cases available.
