It would be better if it actually was about an anaconda failure and not something that is only suspected to cause the problem 16:09:39 * satellit no blocking 16:10:00 Haven't seen this... 16:10:09 * satellit non blocking DE's* 16:10:43 * kmurarka is here 16:11:00 needs to be tested more imho 16:11:03 punt, not enough info 16:11:14 +1 punt 16:11:48 i'm -1 on this, actually 16:11:59 since we can pretty easily confirm it does not stop the installer running on a current live image... 16:12:18 i just tested with the 20160805 Workstation live in a VM and anaconda runs fine and the given python lines run fine. 16:12:35 wks and kde work fine 16:12:36 but i can go with a punt too 16:13:36 * satellit punt 16:14:19 link to the f25 lives please 16:14:25 Punt, just in case we're missing something here. 16:14:35 proposed #agreed 1361338 - punt (delay decision) - the bug sounds bad, but its existence has not been confirmed by anyone else and some in-meeting testing did not encounter it, so we at least need more information here 16:14:55 Southern_Gentlem, https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/branched/ 16:15:03 ack 16:15:16 ack 16:15:21 ack 16:15:25 #agreed 1361338 - punt (delay decision) - the bug sounds bad, but its existence has not been confirmed by anyone else and some in-meeting testing did not encounter it, so we at least need more information here 16:15:41 #info moving on to Beta proposed blockers 16:15:47 #topic (1347436) fedora-import-state sets incorrect mode for /dev/shm when dracut places it in /run/initramfs/state (causes various things to break, inc. webkit and Boxes) 16:15:47 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1347436 16:15:47 #info Proposed Blocker, initscripts, ASSIGNED 16:15:53 this is the semi-infamous UEFI /dev/shm bug 16:16:03 which i'm having lots of 'fun' trying to get anyone to goddamn fix 16:16:18 * satellit see it all the time 16:17:54 so i'm +1 obviously, any other votes? 16:17:56 There's also an selinux related bug with /dev/shm/lldpad.state 16:17:59 +1 blocker 16:19:19 blocker 16:19:19 i think that one's filed separately. 16:19:34 +1 16:19:38 +1 16:19:39 it is separately filed 16:21:03 oh, can we also take this as an alpha FE? 16:21:14 since i at least got someone to work on it now, and freeze is soon 16:21:23 * adamw +1 Alpha FE, other votes? 16:21:28 +1 16:21:31 +1 16:21:41 sooner its fixed the better 16:21:42 IF it's blocking does it need FE? 16:22:20 cmurf: it's a beta blocker, not alpha. 16:22:31 oic 16:22:40 seems serious enough to be an alpha blocker... 16:23:24 but yeah sure +1 alpha FE 16:24:27 hmm, now i look, i think this is only clearly a final blocker 16:24:43 it obviously violates "All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism of a release-blocking desktop after a default installation of that desktop must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test." which is a Final criterion 16:24:48 but i don't immediately see a Beta violation 16:24:54 does anyone want to argue for Beta, or should we make it Final? 16:25:00 Alpha FE will still stand 16:25:11 we know its borked lets not wait till holding up release on it 16:25:26 so leave it as beta 16:25:32 Southern_Gentlem: that's not a valid reason 16:25:39 it can only be a beta blocker if it violates the beta criteria 16:25:57 if anyone can see a beta criterion it violates, speak up :) 16:27:05 The release must be able host virtual guest instances of the same release. 16:27:52 mm, doesn't really break that, though, virt-manager works 16:28:06 is boxes not an approved tool for this 16:29:00 boxes is in a required DE and that is borked 16:29:11 "This criterion applies only to the recommended Fedora virtualization tools - the qemu/kvm - libvirt - virt-manager stack." 16:29:24 that was written before boxes existed, but we've never changed it... 16:29:46 I think it's a final blocker, even though it smells much more ripe than that. 16:29:51 there must be some beta that gnome tools have to work 16:30:35 not really 16:30:55 i am afraid if its only a final blocker we will be waiting on it till then 16:30:56 well, maybe let's not waste too much time for now 16:31:12 Southern_Gentlem: i don't think so, i have someone from the relevant team working on it now 16:31:26 **crossing fingers** 16:31:38 let's take it as a final blocker / alpha fe and if we want to re-consider for beta blocker later with a valid justification we can... 16:32:04 proposed #agreed 1347436 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) AcceptedFreezeException (Alpha) - violates "All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism of a release-blocking desktop after a default installation of that desktop must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test.", consequences are quite visible and serious on UEFI live installs so also taken as an Alpha FE 16:32:25 +1 16:33:59 ack 16:34:02 ack/nack/patch? 16:34:48 ack 16:34:51 ack 16:34:57 #agreed 1347436 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) AcceptedFreezeException (Alpha) - violates "All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism of a release-blocking desktop after a default installation of that desktop must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test.", consequences are quite visible and serious on UEFI live installs so also taken as an Alpha FE 16:35:03 #topic (1362165) doesn't connect to wifi after resume 16:35:03 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1362165 16:35:03 #info Proposed Blocker, NetworkManager, NEW 16:35:41 this doesn't really hit any criteria for m,e 16:35:51 it's a bug to be fixed for sure, but i can't see it as a beta blocker... 16:36:44 isn't basic desktop panel functionality broken this way? 16:37:01 the wifi list is available from the user menu in gnome 16:37:02 I didn't see any resume or network criteria that seemed to fit for either alpha or veta. 16:37:29 or final 16:38:01 kparal: well, i'd read that criterion as being 'right after boot', not after booting and suspending and resuming 16:38:02 It does seem like it ought to be a blocker... 16:38:10 i dont see this as a blocker way too many things that could cause this 16:38:10 BUT you can work around it by restarting NM 16:38:34 i dunno, just on a 'feels' basis i'd maaaaaybe think about final blocker but it doesn't really feel much like a beta blocker 16:38:54 i.e. i'm comfortable with not amending the beta criteria for it 16:38:59 adamw: it says "in typical use" 16:39:08 Only if we made a requirement that resume works, which I don't think has reached the point where we wanted to make it a requirement. 16:39:10 suspend and resume is pretty typical on laptops 16:39:11 Well feelings being subject and all... my bias is for a beta that people can use and not get frustrated by. 16:39:23 Question is how frustrating + obscure this bug is, and its work around. 16:39:33 kparal: we've always held the criteria don't cover suspend/resume, though. 16:39:43 still, that keeps coming up. 16:40:03 yeah, we did 16:40:05 Sure and I'm trying to push that this needs to stop, but part of that means more resources for power management related things. 16:40:24 easy fix is thart on resume it auto restarts nm 16:40:43 kparal: 'in typical use' means typical use *of the panel*, taking this as a violation of that criterion does feel like quite a big stretch to me, but i'm not entirely against... 16:41:00 Southern_Gentlem: ew, god, no, we're not going down that kind of hacky line :P there's already a fix proposed in the bug 16:41:53 so, any votes? 16:42:02 i am for fixing this, he see people all the time complaining about nm not coming back up on resume in fedora 16:42:05 * adamw is -1 beta, about -0.5 final 16:42:15 Southern_Gentlem: again, the blocker meetings are not votes on whether to fix bugs or not 16:42:17 +1 final and +1 beta 16:42:22 we're deciding whether they're release blockers 16:42:36 'i really think this should be fixed!' is not a valid basis for deciding whether it's a blocker, that's what the criteria are for 16:43:48 it's true we don't cover system resume, but if the system resumed correctly (kernel, X, etc) and it's just a service bug, I'd say we don't need to exclude it from criteria 16:43:51 if you think the criteria ought to say 'network connections must always be brought back up on system resume' or something then it's ok to propose a criteria change, but there really does have to be some kind of criteria justification for our decisions 16:45:07 I agree with adamw 16:45:31 But I think we should have a criteria 16:45:32 Given the current criteria I am -1 blocker. 16:45:49 brunowolff: for which milestone? 16:45:59 And it should cover resume from suspend to RAM. 16:46:32 if this affects all hardware, I'm -1 Beta +1 Final. if this is affects just some specific hardware, it depends on how many users this affects 16:46:34 +1 Alpha FE, because there are patches now to fix this 16:46:38 So just fix it that way. 16:46:54 but honestly, if this affected everyone, I can't imagine releasing F25 with this kind of a bug 16:46:57 alpha and beta, and probably final as well but I haven't double checked the final criteria. 16:47:02 oh, yeah, we should also consider alpha FE status, i'm +1 Alpha FE 16:47:18 brunowolff: the final criterion that's been cited is "All elements of the default panel (or equivalent) configuration in all release-blocking desktops must function correctly in typical use." 16:47:34 I can't imagine we'd release either, but chances are we don't even get close. 16:47:39 note there is a footnote on that: 16:47:40 (to releasing with it) 16:47:41 " 16:47:41 Especially with GNOME 3 and KDE 4, 'panel (or equivalent)' covers quite a wide range of features, including some pretty advanced stuff - you could argue that all elements of GNOME network configuration are covered because there's a network icon on the top panel, for instance. The intent of the criterion is more that very prominent features of the desktop don't break easily, so there's a subjective cut-off in there which is decided in the blocker 16:47:41 review process. The key question is "would this bug cause significant inconvenience or just a really bad first impression to a typical user or reviewer of the release?" 16:47:42 " 16:48:03 all three 16:48:06 bad, bad, bad 16:48:22 I don't think that criteria covers this case. I believe that currently suspend/resume is not considered normal use. 16:48:47 Which in 2016 is absurd... 16:48:49 my objection is still that the criterion is about the *panel* itself and using that as a proxy for things the panel just exposes access to is a bit of a worrying precedent. but i can see the argument for +1 final on that basis. 16:48:50 it is normal use, but we don't usually block on that because of too many hardware and kernel issues 16:48:58 but this is not a hw/kernel issue 16:49:00 brunowolff, i would since the majority of our users use laptops 16:49:28 adamw: point taken, I agree we should not use the panel criterion for everything 16:49:51 it's definitely reasonable to re-consider the 'we don't cover resume' position at this point, sure. 16:49:52 Well if we make suspend / resume working a release criteria, are we going to be able to make releases? 16:50:02 brunowolff: i think it'd depend a lot on the details. 16:50:14 so since this seems controversial... 16:50:26 Realize that this particular bug is going to get fixed in about 2 seconds... 16:50:30 how about we accept it as an alpha FE and punt the blocker decision for now so people have time to propose criteria revisions or whatever? 16:50:46 Sure 16:50:47 or not :) 16:50:48 sure 16:50:51 +1 AFE +1 punt 16:51:11 I am +1 FE for alpha. 16:51:52 +1 FE, +1 punt blocker classification 16:51:55 proposed #agreed 1362165 - AcceptedFreezeException (Alpha), punt (delay decision) on blocker status - there is considerable disagreement about whether this currently qualifies as a beta or final blocker under the criteria (and if not, whether it *should* do), so for now we accept it as an Alpha FE and delay the blocker decision for further discussion and criteria proposals 16:52:02 ack 16:52:11 ack 16:52:15 ack 16:52:23 \#agreed 1362165 - AcceptedFreezeException (Alpha), punt (delay decision) on blocker status - there is considerable disagreement about whether this currently qualifies as a beta or final blocker under the criteria (and if not, whether it *should* do), so for now we accept it as an Alpha FE and delay the blocker decision for further discussion and criteria proposals 16:52:25 grr 16:52:26 #agreed 1362165 - AcceptedFreezeException (Alpha), punt (delay decision) on blocker status - there is considerable disagreement about whether this currently qualifies as a beta or final blocker under the criteria (and if not, whether it *should* do), so for now we accept it as an Alpha FE and delay the blocker decision for further discussion and criteria proposals 16:52:36 OK, that's all the proposed blockers 16:52:54 we can have a quick look through the accepted Alpha blockers and check current status, there aren't many 16:53:01 #info moving on to accepted Alpha blockers 16:53:11 #topic (1358416) "Error setting up software source" when attempting a Network installation 16:53:11 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1358416 16:53:11 #info Accepted Blocker, dracut, ON_QA 16:53:22 ah, i think we can close this, pretty sure the fix worked. 16:54:14 #info the fix for this looks good, we can just double-check it's fixed and close it 16:54:27 #topic (1352680) efibootmgr calls in anaconda crashing since efivar-0.24-1.fc25 landed 16:54:27 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1352680 16:54:27 #info Accepted Blocker, efibootmgr, NEW 16:54:32 we're still waiting on pjones here :/ 16:54:42 i did check in with him last week and he said he'd fix it soon 16:55:22 For lives it's possible to downgrade efivars to work around it. 16:55:28 not sure there's much else to say/do... 16:56:04 I guess it's efivar not efivars 16:56:22 #info still waiting on pjones to fix this, not much else anyone else can do 16:56:27 #topic (1353054) FreeIPA server deployment fails due to pki-core dangling symlinks (one from non-installed 'scannotation' package, one formerly in resteasy-jaxrs-api but now lost) 16:56:28 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1353054 16:56:28 #info Accepted Blocker, pki-core, NEW 16:56:33 so there seems to be movement on this, but no package builds 16:56:43 i guess i can poke them and let them know the urgency here 16:56:55 adamw: well if push came to shove couldn't we just take a previous version?
