The impact is very limited. 16:44:42 Good idea 16:44:58 Reverting my vote to +1 0day 16:45:48 why would we take like 20 and then suddenly reject this one? 16:46:30 we've gotta be consistent 16:46:55 How much does it impact the release not having it? 16:47:01 the arguments for taking them are so the frozen beta/final repos are as clean as possible, and because upgrades use stable repos, so pushing fixes stable avoids problems on upgrade 16:47:38 i think i'm pretty consistent as +1 on FTI and meh on FTBFS 16:47:50 but it's also not worth spending any time on :-) 16:47:58 oh, fair enough. if it currently installs, that's different 16:48:07 my bad if it does and i was just assuming it was FTI 16:48:08 So, this could impact upgrades if zypper is already installed on say F36? 16:49:12 if it's an FTI bug, yeah. if not, then not really. 16:49:16 uh, just a sec here. 16:49:33 the explanation says "Having functioning and installable Zypp stack packages for F37 resolves the FTBFS and FTI issues for these packages and things depending on it." 16:49:46 uf, let me see if i can find neal 16:49:59 "things depending on it" is very limited 16:50:31 kiwi-systemdeps-core seems to be the only package depending on it 16:50:35 Conan Kudo: ahoy. is this an FTBFS bug or FTI? if FTI, what Fs to I? 16:52:41 adamw: I know that we have a plan for dependency on the kiwi code to replace imagefactory in cloud edition. 16:53:02 That should happen early F37. 16:53:17 doesn't seem relevant to a beta FE decision, though. 16:54:00 okay. thanks. I wasn't sure. 16:57:29 i suggest that since we have several + and no -, that we just consider this accepted as an FE and move on 16:58:59 +1 low gain, low impact 16:59:12 bcotton: ACK 16:59:39 yeah. i'm gonna figure since neal mentioned fti, there's some kinda fti issue. 17:00:14 proposed #agreed 2113774 - AcceptedFreezeException (Beta) - this is accepted on similar grounds as the previous bug, assuming there is some FTI issue here and not just FTBFS. adam will try to clarify before pushing stable 17:00:20 ack 17:00:37 ack 17:00:40 ack 17:01:18 * Eighth_Doctor waves 17:01:21 .hello ngompa 17:01:21 Eighth_Doctor: ngompa 'Neal Gompa' 17:01:32 ahoyhoy 17:01:37 adamw: it was both 17:01:39 FTBFS + FTI 17:01:49 because FTBFS, one of the subpackages also FTI because Perl 17:01:53 okay, thanks for clarifying 17:02:40 #agreed 2113774 - AcceptedFreezeException (Beta) - this is accepted on similar grounds as the previous bug, assuming there is some FTI issue here and not just FTBFS. adam will try to clarify before pushing stable 17:02:44 ugh, i think i got a space there 17:02:49 #agreed 2113774 - AcceptedFreezeException (Beta) - this is accepted on similar grounds as the previous bug, assuming there is some FTI issue here and not just FTBFS. adam will try to clarify before pushing stable 17:03:03 ack 17:03:18 ack 17:03:33 ack^2 17:04:13 ack 17:04:31 ack times ack 17:05:11 .hello thunderbirdtr 17:05:12 osezer[m]: thunderbirdtr 'Onuralp SEZER' 17:05:15 * osezer[m] says hi 17:05:19 no mor acking! 17:05:23 cmurf: Would that be ACK? 17:05:24 ack 17:05:26 that's all the proposed FEs 17:05:29 onto the: 17:05:35 #topic Proposed Final blockers 17:05:45 #topic (2124305) The retrace server does not support Fedora 37. 17:05:46 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2124305 17:05:49 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/895 17:05:53 #info Proposed Blocker, abrt, NEW 17:05:55 every cycle 17:05:55 #info Ticket vote: BetaBlocker (+1,0,-0) (+lruzicka) 17:05:56 #info Ticket vote: FinalBlocker (+1,0,-0) (+lruzicka) 17:06:09 do we have a release criterion? 17:06:25 the ol' "hinders testing" fallback, I suppose 17:06:31 I think this is a) testability b) basic function 17:06:33 oh i guess it's the catch all, yeah hinders testing 17:06:38 I don't think this breaks basic functionality, personally 17:06:42 well it doesn't hinder testing it does hinder bug reportings 😄 17:06:58 you can still trace it locally 17:06:59 yeah 17:07:01 kparal, I do ... without it, you cannot trace anything unless downloading GBs of data 17:07:20 So, -1 - less bugs to consider :-P 17:07:25 do retrace server folks have the resources to get this done by beta or final? 17:07:33 i think we shouldn't use the catch all of this 17:07:38 for 17:08:13 i agree with the download sizes for local retrace being a burden 17:08:16 I, on the contrary, think that this should be working as soon as we branch out 17:08:33 sure, i agree with that too 17:08:51 personally, I do not understand why it is such a problem ... it repeats every release 17:09:06 lruzicka: You are right. This should be part of branching. 17:09:14 yeah, i'm not sure this is quite release blocking 17:09:14 but i think we need to hear from the people who are going to end up getting zinged when we inevitably block on this because it's always the case every cycle 17:09:30 cmurf: they should do. it's what the thing is supposed to do. i think it's usually just a case of finding someone to actually flick the necessary switch. 17:09:35 note, i usually file this upstream, not in BZ... 17:09:41 me 2 17:10:00 kparal has reported it upstream, too 17:10:16 my understanding is this was supposed to get better (happen sooner) by using containers for the environment that does the retrace 17:10:32 i guess they were using a VM before (?) so it took a while to get it all configured 17:11:03 +1 0day 17:11:32 0day isn't going to work for this 17:11:57 i'm -1 until hearing from retrace server folks 17:13:30 it'd be great if this is part of branch SOP though 17:13:31 we just need to ask the folks that'll do the work if they can do the work sooner, every time 17:14:28 last time I can find that a bug like this came up, we rejected it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1885154 17:14:32 however, we should perhaps suggest a policy so that we do not have to file this issue all the time 17:14:33 i'm with chris and past-us. -1 final blocker 17:14:49 "The decision to classify this bug as a "RejectedBlocker" and an "AcceptedFreezeException" was made as the app is likely working (the bug is likely in the retrace server itself), and local traceback generation does work so we aren't stuck without being able to report crashes." 17:15:15 ack 17:15:25 well, if only you could experience my internet connection ... you would feel differently 17:15:59 lruzicka: fwiw, lately i don't really use abrt much, instead i just backtrace with gdb and debuginfod - it seems to download less data overall 17:16:12 lruzicka: While that's a pain, does it justify delaying the release? 17:17:16 Penguinpee, there is still time until the final release. Every Fedora Release Party, we do talks and encourage people to find and report bugs, this is another obstacle for them to do so. 17:17:19 -1 for me 17:17:32 FinalBlocker -1 17:17:55 proposed #agreed 2124305 - RejectedBlocker (Final) - this does not violate any of the criteria, and we have previously rejected similar bugs as blockers. No FE status is considered because the fix will be outside of the distribution 17:18:01 i reserve voting for final blockeryness 17:18:06 ack 17:18:23 lruzicka: I agree.
