    22. 0 Accepted Previous Release Blockers (adamw, 16:07:18)
    23. 1 Proposed Freeze Exceptions (adamw, 16:07:18)
    24. 1 Accepted Freeze Exceptions (adamw, 16:07:21)
    25. coremodule will secretarialize (adamw, 16:14:06)

  3. (1503496) FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'grub2-mkconfig' (adamw, 16:15:11)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1503496 (adamw, 16:15:11)
    2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, POST (adamw, 16:15:12)
    3. AGREED: 1503496 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) - violates "The installer must be able to install into free space alongside an existing OS X installation, install and configure a bootloader that will boot Fedora" (and all 'must complete installation' criteria for Macs) (adamw, 16:19:59)

  4. (1489942) dbxtool fails at boot 'Could not apply database update "DBXUpdate-2016-08-09-13-16-00.bin": Permission denied' (adamw, 16:20:10)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1489942 (adamw, 16:20:10)
    2. Proposed Blocker, dbxtool, ON_QA (adamw, 16:20:10)
    3. AGREED: 1489942 - RejectedBlocker AcceptedFreezeException (Final) - this is rejected as a blocker on the basis it won't affect all installs (we believe it affects UEFI non-Secure Boot installs) and there is no real practical consequence of the error. However, fixing this will improve release polish and that can't be done with an update, so accepted FE. (adamw, 16:37:03)

  5. (1504059) Include Firefox 57 at compose (adamw, 16:37:12)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1504059 (adamw, 16:37:13)
    2. Proposed Blocker, distribution, NEW (adamw, 16:37:13)
    3. https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1783 was the fesco ticket (adamw, 16:38:55)
    4. https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/teams/fesco/fesco.2017-10-13-16.01.log.html is the fesco meeting log (adamw, 16:39:58)
    5. AGREED: 1504059 - punt (delay decision) - FESCo's intent is not clear to us, given the wording of their agreement and the lack of context in the meeting logs. we ask FESCo to clarify their intent on what should be done with FF57 in F27, given that it is *not* in stable but updates-testing and the maintainer would like to push it stable. does FESCo mean for this to be blocker, or FE, and what ff57 build(s) is it expecting when? (adamw, 16:54:24)

  6. (1497691) CVE-2017-14491 CVE-2017-14492 CVE-2017-14493 CVE-2017-14494 CVE-2017-14495 CVE-2017-14496 dnsmasq: various flaws [fedora-all] (adamw, 16:54:40)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1497691 (adamw, 16:54:40)
    2. Proposed Blocker, dnsmasq, ON_QA (adamw, 16:54:41)
    3. AGREED: 1497691 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) - clearly violates "The release must contain no known security bugs of 'important' or higher impact according to the Red Hat severity classification scale which cannot be satisfactorily resolved by a package update (e.g. issues during installation)" (adamw, 16:58:43)

  7. (1500834) VirtualBox: black screen on fedora 27 (adamw, 16:58:53)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1500834 (adamw, 16:58:53)
    2. Proposed Blocker, kernel, MODIFIED (adamw, 16:58:54)
    3. AGREED: 1500834 - RejectedBlocker (Final) AcceptedFreezeException (Final) - vbox isn't one of the officially-blocking virt technologies and a workaround is available so we don't think this qualifies as a blocker, but as vbox is widely used we certainly think it's worth a freeze exception (adamw, 17:06:08)

  8. (1501762) CVE-2017-5123 kernel: Missing access_ok() checks in waitid() [fedora-all] (adamw, 17:06:15)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1501762 (adamw, 17:06:15)
    2. Proposed Blocker, kernel, ON_QA (adamw, 17:06:16)
    3. AGREED: 1501762 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) - violates "The release must contain no known security bugs of 'important' or higher impact according to the Red Hat severity classification scale which cannot be satisfactorily resolved by a package update (e.g. issues during installation)." (adamw, 17:10:27)

  9. (1502915) World map missing in Time & Date (adamw, 17:10:35)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1502915 (adamw, 17:10:35)
    2. Proposed Blocker, libtimezonemap, ON_QA (adamw, 17:10:35)
    3. AGREED: 1502915 - RejectedBlocker (Final) AcceptedFreezeException (Final) - this does not seem to violate any existing criterion, but is a very obvious error in the installer so we're happy to grant it a freeze exception. (adamw, 17:15:52)

  10. (1501362) Intel microcode not updating --> [Firmware Bug]: TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata; please update microcode to version: 0x25 (or later) (adamw, 17:16:00)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1501362 (adamw, 17:16:00)
    2. Proposed Blocker, microcode_ctl, ASSIGNED (adamw, 17:16:00)
    3. AGREED: 1501362 - RejectedBlocker (Final) RejectedFreezeException (Final) - as we understand this, nothing is really broken, it's just a warning about a feature that could be enabled with a microcode update. we think a regular update is the best way to fix this, rushing a fix in via blocker/FE is not needed and potentially dangerous. (adamw, 17:22:54)
    4. continuing with proposed Server Beta blockers (adamw, 17:23:22)

  11. (1474910) Host and Platform (adamw, 17:25:16)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1474910 (adamw, 17:25:16)
    2. Proposed Blocker, Changes Tracking, MODIFIED (adamw, 17:25:16)
    3. sgallagh believes this bug (1474910) should be closed, so we'll assume that's going to happen and move on. (adamw, 17:31:27)

  12. (1492237) tracker bug for Update Fedora Release Criteria for Modular Server (adamw, 17:31:42)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1492237 (adamw, 17:31:43)
    2. Proposed Blocker, Changes Tracking, NEW (adamw, 17:31:43)
    3. AGREED: 1492237 - AcceptedBlocker (Server Beta) - ok, sure, whatever (adamw, 17:42:20)

  13. (1503321) FreeIPA server upgraded from F26 to F27 fails to start with "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ipapython.secrets'" (adamw, 17:42:39)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1503321 (adamw, 17:42:39)
    2. Proposed Blocker, freeipa, NEW (adamw, 17:42:40)
    3. AGREED: 1503321 - AcceptedBlocker (Server Beta) - adam's not entirely sure if the upgrade criterion technically covers this, but there's strong agreement that we do *intend* to require that release-blocking server roles upgrade successfully, so this is accepted and adam will propose a criteria change to make the intent clearer (adamw, 17:53:44)

  14. (1504602) Image build fails because of dracut warning "/dev/root does not exist" (adamw, 17:53:51)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1504602 (adamw, 17:53:51)
    2. Proposed Blocker, lorax, NEW (adamw, 17:53:52)
    3. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=22555870 (adamw, 18:00:49)
    4. AGREED: - 1504602 - AcceptedBlocker (Server Beta) - we believe this failure dooms the compose even though the task only fails on two non-blocking arches, thus this is accepted as it prevents compose working at all (adamw, 18:05:57)

  15. (1504745) Modular server autopart gives invalid partitioning (adamw, 18:06:06)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1504745 (adamw, 18:06:06)
    2. Proposed Blocker, python-blivet, NEW (adamw, 18:06:06)
    3. AGREED: 1504745 - AcceptedBlocker (Server Beta) - this prevents some images building on a release-blocking arch (armhfp) (adamw, 18:15:06)
    4. that covers proposed server blockers and also FEs, as the only proposed FE was accepted as a blocker (adamw, 18:15:32)
    5. returning to proposed Final FEs (adamw, 18:15:39)

  16. (1478141) Anaconda gives a traceback if there is non-activated InfiniBand network device present during an attempt to install in text mode (adamw, 18:15:52)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1478141 (adamw, 18:15:52)
    2. Proposed Freeze Exceptions, anaconda, MODIFIED (adamw, 18:15:53)
    3. AGREED: 1478141 - AcceptedFreezeException (Final) - this obviously can't be fixed by an update and will inconvenience anyone who runs into it, fixing it is definitely worth a freeze exception (adamw, 18:24:27)

  17. (1487787) corosync libraries built with work-in-progress fix in libqb so as to re-establishing compatibility with ld from binutils 2.29 unusuable on powerpc platforms for further link (adamw, 18:24:36)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1487787 (adamw, 18:24:36)
    2. Proposed Freeze Exceptions, corosync, ON_QA (adamw, 18:24:36)
    3. AGREED: 1487787 - AcceptedFreezeException (Final) - this seems to affect build and correct functionality of several packages and dependency chains on a couple of non-release blocking arches, it would be good to straighten that out in stable rather than waiting for a post-release update (adamw, 18:31:51)

  18. (1499260) Failing HTM tbegin for z Series guests despite claiming support. (adamw, 18:32:03)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1499260 (adamw, 18:32:03)
    2. Proposed Freeze Exceptions, glibc, ON_QA (adamw, 18:32:04)
    3. AGREED: 1499260 - AcceptedFreezeException (Final) - this breaks installer boot on a non-blocking arch (s390x), so obviously cannot be fully fixed with an update and is serious enough to grant an FE (adamw, 18:37:29)

  19. (1502827) gnome-initial-setup 'user creation' mode no longer runs after install with no user account (since 3.26.1) (adamw, 18:37:44)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1502827 (adamw, 18:37:44)
    2. Proposed Freeze Exceptions, gnome-session, NEW (adamw, 18:37:44)
    3. AGREED: 1502827 - AcceptedFreezeException (Final) - this is a prominent incorrect behaviour in the initial install and boot workflow, cannot be fully fixed with an update (adamw, 18:47:40)

  20. (1478089) logging feature silently severed due to changed treatment of orphaned sections in ld.bfd/binutils-2.29 (adamw, 18:47:51)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1478089 (adamw, 18:47:51)
    2. Proposed Freeze Exceptions, libqb, ON_QA (adamw, 18:47:51)
    3. we will skip 1478089 and 1503843 as they all seem to be covering broadly the same territory and we have granted an FE under 1487787 (adamw, 18:51:32)
    4. we already discussed 1502915 as a proposed blocker and granted it accepted FE status (adamw, 18:52:09)
    5. ditto 1501362 (adamw, 18:52:18)

  21. (1500734) CVE-2017-2888 SDL2: SDL: Integer overflow while creating a new RGB surface [fedora-all] (adamw, 18:52:51)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1500734 (adamw, 18:52:51)
    2. Proposed Freeze Exceptions, SDL2, VERIFIED (adamw, 18:52:51)
    3. AGREED: 1500734 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) - violates "The release must contain no known security bugs of 'important' or higher impact according to the Red Hat severity classification scale which cannot be satisfactorily resolved by a package update (e.g. issues during installation)", as this is rated 'important' and SDL may be used during live sessions (adamw, 18:59:29)

  22. Open floor (adamw, 18:59:44)
