17:01:35 athmane, j_dulaney: hello and welcome 17:02:04 Wassup 17:02:22 yo 17:02:42 adamw: welcome to the party 17:03:20 what have I told you about having fun?! 17:03:32 * nirik is lurking. ping if I can help with anything. 17:03:50 adamw: that it is an absolute requirement? 17:04:46 looks like we have a decent list again, so lets get started 17:04:53 any volunteers to play secretary? 17:05:30 Ok now that I can finally make my appearance what's unclear with the BindTo= and Requires= to to another units which results in hangs with try-restart and restarts of units 17:05:33 * brunowolff is here 17:05:54 this will happen it's not a question of iff 17:06:11 Viking-Ice, brunowolff: welcome, we're about to get started 17:06:20 #topic Introduction 17:06:27 * j_dulaney has to be in class at 2, so he can't be secretary 17:06:41 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers 17:06:51 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting 17:07:12 why are we here? 17:07:15 #info Our purpose in this meeting is to review proposed blocker and nice-to-have bugs and decide whether to accept them, and to monitor the progress of fixing existing accepted blocker and nice-to-have bugs. 17:07:26 any suggestions on what to start with? 17:07:37 otherwise, I was planning to dive into the proposed blockers 17:07:53 * j_dulaney says start at the top 17:08:05 Of proposed blocker's, that is 17:08:45 alrighty, here we go 17:08:50 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736880 17:08:51 Bug 736880: high, unspecified, ---, hughsient, MODIFIED, packagekitd startup fails with 'undefined symbol: g_unix_signal_add_watch_full' 17:09:00 #info packagekitd startup fails with 'undefined symbol: g_unix_signal_add_watch_full' 17:09:53 looks like the release criterion in question is "The installed system must be able to download and install updates with yum and the default graphical package manager in all release-blocking desktops" 17:10:01 * j_dulaney is going to say +1 for blocker 17:10:13 I'm +1 blocker on this, too 17:10:19 +1 blocker 17:10:28 +1 17:10:42 proposed #agreed - 736880 - AcceptedBlocker - The installed system must be able to download and install updates with yum and the default graphical package manager in all release-blocking desktops 17:10:45 ack 17:10:53 ack 17:11:07 ack 17:11:09 #agreed - 736880 - AcceptedBlocker - The installed system must be able to download and install updates with yum and the default graphical package manager in all release-blocking desktops 17:11:19 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=733448 17:11:20 Bug 733448: medium, unspecified, ---, jmoskovc, ON_QA, abrt refuses to attach anaconda crash dump to automated anaconda bug reports 17:11:28 #info abrt refuses to attach anaconda crash dump to automated anaconda bug reports 17:11:51 I'm going to say +1 on this, too 17:11:55 me too 17:12:25 a fix is ready, so blocker status may be academic but 17:12:44 proposed #agreed - 733448 - AcceptedBlocker - The installer must be able to report failures to Bugzilla, with appropriate information included 17:12:45 This way it should make it into the next TC 17:12:47 adamw, is right in comment12 that limitation/restriction should be handled in bugzilla ( or what ever receives it ) 17:13:00 j_dulaney: I'm pretty sure that it did make it into TC2 17:13:06 also on the test boot.iso I made 17:13:07 Ok 17:13:08 under the 'must be able to report anaconda bugs to bugzilla' criterion, i guess 17:13:19 Indeed 17:13:24 so i'm +1 too 17:13:32 Ack for blocker (even if late) 17:13:37 ack/nak/patch? 17:13:44 ack 17:13:52 #agreed - 733448 - AcceptedBlocker - The installer must be able to report failures to Bugzilla, with appropriate information included 17:14:01 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728923 17:14:02 Bug 728923: unspecified, unspecified, ---, akozumpl, MODIFIED, Serial console is not configured 17:14:10 #info Serial console is not configured 17:14:37 I think that this has been fixed, for the most part 17:14:48 hum do we have criteria that covers serial console setups ( both for physical and virtual ) 17:14:54 Viking-Ice: not exactly 17:14:55 nope 17:15:03 nth 17:15:04 we've been punting on this one for a while 17:15:07 Which make this nth 17:15:11 it was accepted as NTH and kept on the blocker list to keep an eye on it 17:15:19 because serial console was in the alpha 'group' of install tests prior to the criteria re-write 17:15:23 I'm OK with -1 blocker and asking for confirmation 17:15:25 but we kinda have to make this a final criteria 17:15:27 but we didn't incorporate it into the criteira 17:15:47 atleast that's my take on it 17:15:51 so as we've been saying it each meeting we need to decide whether we want it in the criteria, and if so, where...but we've been punting on it and hoping the bug goes away 17:15:54 adamw: Maybe it should be? (For list discussion) 17:15:57 didn't we have a TODO from last week to propose a criterion about console? 17:16:09 probably, and it was probably me, and i probably missed it... 17:16:32 IIRC it was to either you or me - we both dropped the ball :) 17:16:44 so, anyway, same deal as before 17:16:55 this should be fixed, but we couldn't re-test in tc1 because of the 'all text installs are broken' bug 17:17:01 now that's fixed in tc2, we should be able to re-test this 17:17:10 proposed #agreed - 728923 - RejectedBlocker - This should be fixed, doesn't need blocker since it's NTH. Ask for confirmation of fix in bug. 17:17:16 ack/nak/patch? 17:17:19 sure, works for now. 17:17:20 ack 17:17:21 ack 17:17:30 IIRC, there were reports of serial installs mostly working 17:17:37 #agreed - 728923 - RejectedBlocker - This should be fixed, doesn't need blocker since it's NTH. Ask for confirmation of fix in bug. 17:17:49 hum there is even a question if this should be beta critera 17:17:49 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=730415 17:17:50 Bug 730415: unspecified, unspecified, ---, bcl, VERIFIED, kickstart with user --name=blah results in traceback 17:17:58 #info kickstart with user --name=blah results in traceback 17:18:22 I think this is another one where we wanted to clarify the criteria 17:18:29 Does this hit an existing criteria, or just a proposed? 17:18:30 * tflink can't remember if we got around to that yet, though 17:18:41 j_dulaney: the ks criteria aren't incredibly clear 17:18:42 doesn't hit any existing 17:18:44 dont we have criteria that covers all kickstart options ? 17:18:59 since it's VERIFIED, I'm all for -1 blocker 17:19:00 I would think network install should cover that 17:19:01 we didn't have any kickstart criteria until that list thread i started 17:19:10 Viking-Ice, not quite 17:19:33 the only consensus that came out of the list thread was for the most basic 'reproduce a click-thru install' ks, which does not include --user 17:19:46 ah right now I remember 17:19:57 so as things stand, this doesn't hit a criterion. if we were all really worried about this bug, though, we could agree that there should be a criterion for --user, and tkae it on the basis that we'd add one. 17:20:08 i think anaconda team was generally of the opinion that --user isn't hugely widely used, though 17:20:10 +1 for that 17:20:18 proposed #agreed - 730415 - RejectedBlocker - Bug is now VERIFIED, discussion of blocker status is purely academic 17:20:37 hum not sure 17:20:39 tflink: well, since we want to set kickstart criteria based on 'case law', it's not entirely academic... 17:20:55 point 17:21:04 we should just cover the most commonly used kickstart options 17:21:13 do we punt on this one again until we get more clarification on the criteria? 17:21:19 we had this exact discussion last week, in fact 17:21:22 and decided to make it RejectedBlocker 17:21:29 then it's an rejectblocker 17:21:30 so probably a fail on my/tflink's part in secretaryizing 17:21:40 oh, didn't notice that 17:21:50 who's secretarying this week, btw? i'll start, if no-one else wants to 17:22:01 #info already RejectedBlocker, moving on 17:22:06 Alright, if that's the case, then I'm +1 for RejectedBlocker 17:22:07 adamw: nobody volunteered 17:22:23 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731177 17:22:24 Bug 731177: unspecified, unspecified, ---, dlehman, ASSIGNED, DeviceTreeError: MD RAID device md127 not in devicetree after scanning all slaves 17:22:31 #info DeviceTreeError: MD RAID device md127 not in devicetree after scanning all slaves 17:22:41 +1 for blocker 17:23:01 I know it hits one, just can't remember the exact wording off the top of my head 17:23:02 +1 for blocker 17:23:26 installer one definitely 17:23:30 "The installer must be able to create and install to software, hardware or BIOS RAID-0, RAID-1 or RAID-5 partitions for anything except /boot" 17:23:33 I think 17:23:47 well it doesn't quite hit that 17:23:56 because it's more about handling *existing* RAID arrays 17:24:01 12 17:24:10 j_dulaney: alpha, beta or final? 17:24:12 although you could argue that 'create and install to' can mean 'install to existing', i guess 17:24:14 I would think that would not matter 17:24:19 beta 17:24:24 yeah, that's it 17:24:28 and actually...with the BIOS RAID stipulation, it kinda must 17:24:29 "The rescue mode of the installer must be able to detect and mount (read-write and read-only) LVM, encrypted, and RAID (BIOS, hardware, and software) installations " 17:24:37 because an installer can't create BIOS RAID partitions... 17:24:41 ooh, yeah, definitely hits that one. 17:24:46 damn, I can't read again 17:24:51 that's rescue mode 17:25:12 well i think this would hit rescue mode too. 17:25:20 Indeed 17:25:28 * j_dulaney also mis-read 17:25:28 but let's take it under the RAID criterion and declare that that includes installing to pre-existing RAID array. 17:25:35 +1 17:25:52 +1 for modifying the criteria to include existing 17:25:57 proposed #agreed - 731177 - AcceptedBlocker - The rescue mode of the installer must be able to detect and mount (read-write and read-only) LVM, encrypted, and RAID (BIOS, hardware, and software) installations 17:26:01 ack 17:26:01 ack/nack/patch? 17:26:02 ack 17:26:09 ack 17:26:18 ack 17:26:21 do we want to modify the criteria so that it hits more clearly? 17:26:28 I'm OK with things as they are 17:26:38 #agreed - 731177 - AcceptedBlocker - The rescue mode of the installer must be able to detect and mount (read-write and read-only) LVM, encrypted, and RAID (BIOS, hardware, and software) installations 17:26:43 eh, i think it's clear enough. could be improved, i guess, but not high priority. 17:27:11 Canadians... 17:27:12 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735730 17:27:13 if the install supports installing on raid it needs to support installing on all types of raid setup is my take on it 17:27:13 Bug 735730: unspecified, unspecified, ---, anaconda-maint-list, NEW, IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/sysimage/boot/grub2/device.map' 17:27:16 #info IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/sysimage/boot/grub2/device.map' 17:27:46 ack on blocker 17:28:10 "The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade installation from a clean, fully updated default installation (from any official install medium) of the previous stable Fedora release, either via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually. The upgraded system must meet all release criteria" 17:28:50 +1 17:28:57 yeah, seems clear enough 17:29:08 proposed #agreed - 735730 - AcceptedBlocker - The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade installation from a clean, fully updated default installation (from any official install medium) of the previous stable Fedora release, either via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually. The upgraded system must meet all release criteria 17:29:13 ack/nak/patch? 17:29:14 ack 17:29:17 should re-test with tc2, but i expect it'll still be broken 17:29:17 ack 17:29:20 ack 17:29:38 proposed #agreed - 735730 - AcceptedBlocker - The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade installation from a clean, fully updated default installation (from any official install medium) of the previous stable Fedora release, either via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually.

Request re-test with TC2. 17:30:07 * tflink assumed that adding the last line was OK 17:30:13 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735785 17:30:15 Bug 735785: unspecified, unspecified, ---, bcl, ASSIGNED, Upgrade Skip Bootloader broken 17:30:20 #info Upgrade Skip Bootloader broken 17:30:52 * j_dulaney cannot find this in Beta criteria 17:30:58 Is it Final? 17:31:08 upgrade is beta, no? 17:31:11 it hits the same criteria as before right? 17:31:22 yeah 17:31:28 well, it's a type of upgrade, yeah. 17:31:29 so that's an clear ack 17:31:39 But not the skip bootloader bit 17:31:54 the criterion doesn't specify what you do with the bootloader. 17:32:03 proposed #agreed - 735785 - AcceptedBlocker - The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade installation from a clean, fully updated default installation (from any official install medium) of the previous stable Fedora release, either via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually. The upgraded system must meet all release criteria 17:32:03 upgrade is an upgrade 17:32:08 so it becomes a judgment call: is this significant enough for us to consider it breaking the criterion. 17:32:14 ack 17:32:24 i'd say it is, especially since it's a longstanding test case that exercises an option that's in anaconda presumably for some kind of reason... 17:32:32 Alright 17:32:35 ack 17:32:47 ack 17:32:55 yeah, it's not the default option but it's not really hidden either 17:33:03 #agreed - 735785 - AcceptedBlocker - The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade installation from a clean, fully updated default installation (from any official install medium) of the previous stable Fedora release, either via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually.

17:35:00 it's arguable 17:35:02 see my comment in the bug 17:35:23 Well, I must take my leace 17:35:25 in a sense no, because it's not using the .ks file without modifying it, but in a sense yes, because the modification is only to automate one more step 17:35:30 c/leace/leave 17:35:35 j_dulaney: thanks for helping out 17:35:37 cya dulaney, thanks for the help 17:35:46 Righteo 17:35:49 Peace, y'all 17:35:54 it sounds like there is a fix ready? 17:35:59 yup 17:36:07 yeah 17:36:15 i need to find a moment to test it 17:36:18 or anyone else can, of course ;) 17:37:16 * tflink is asking in #anaconda 17:37:22 nth <-- 17:37:24 so, i think i'm +1 to this one 17:37:34 thinking on a wider scale, automating the partitioning seems like something that'd commonly be done in a ks 17:37:44 though i suppose it's quite easily workaroundable, by re-ordering the lines 17:37:46 so we have +2 blocker, +1 nth 17:37:53 +1 nth 17:37:55 Viking-Ice: I assume you're -1 blocker, then? 17:37:59 yup 17:38:05 -1 blocker +1 nth 17:38:23 and...it's more to do with the autogeneration in anaconda...if you were to handwrite a ks to duplicate a default install this bug wouldn't come up... 17:38:28 hum, maybe i change to nth. =) 17:38:29 confirmed with dlehman, potential fix is ready - after verification, he'll send it out for review 17:38:39 But if there is a fix, it probably isn't worth sp[ending a lot of time deciding which to use. 17:38:43 yeah, I think I'm more nth on this 17:38:48 okay, let's go nth. 17:39:44 proposed #agreed - 736527 - RejectedBlocker AcceptedNTH - Handwritted kickstart files still work, this only applies to auto-generated ones and therefore not a blocker 17:39:51 good enough, ack 17:40:27 #agreed - 736527 - RejectedBlocker AcceptedNTH - Handwritten kickstart files still work, this only applies to auto-generated ones and therefore not a blocker 17:40:38 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736893 17:40:39 Bug 736893: medium, unspecified, ---, akozumpl, NEW, New Install of Fedora 16 TC1 on iBFT iSCSI NIC fails on first reboot 17:40:49 #info New Install of Fedora 16 TC1 on iBFT iSCSI NIC fails on first reboot 17:41:11 what's iBFT?

17:46:50 it's just a dep of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731177 and we already discussed that one 17:46:51 Bug 731177: unspecified, unspecified, ---, dlehman, ASSIGNED, DeviceTreeError: MD RAID device md127 not in devicetree after scanning all slaves 17:47:10 so i think we can leave this one alone 17:47:22 i think 731177 actually is for lives and there's another for non-live that's probably coming up... 17:47:32 well the parent fix wont fix this one does it ( since it's selinux ) 17:47:36 ? 17:47:45 I think that the non-live was already accepted 17:47:48 no 17:47:53 Viking-Ice: it's the other way around 17:47:58 this one needs to be fixed before the parent is fixed 17:48:20 ok 17:48:21 really i dunno if a 'child' bug was appropriate as i don't think there are two interdependent problems but just one problem, but oh well 17:48:57 we can just revisit it after the other one has been solved 17:49:05 if necessary and leave it as is 17:49:07 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736521 is for non-live 17:49:08 I could go either way on this since it'll get fixed 17:49:08 Bug 736521: unspecified, unspecified, ---, kernel-maint, NEW, mdadm crash/oops when stopping array in installer environment 17:49:14 i think we just leave 736530 alone 17:49:19 it's not actually a proposed blocker in itself 17:49:22 yup 17:49:24 it just gets into the list as we considers deps 17:49:30 so we don't really need to do anything with it 17:50:08 so for clarity, 731177 is our 'install to pre-existing raid on live fails' bug, and 736521 is our 'install to pre-existing raid via traditional installer fails' bug 17:50:15 736530 we don't really need to worry about 17:50:20 proposed #agreed - 736530 - Ignoring since it's a child of the actual blocker, needs to be fixed as part of rhbz#736530 17:50:26 ack 17:50:36 ack 17:50:43 #agreed - 736530 - Ignoring since it's a child of the actual blocker, needs to be fixed as part of rhbz#736530 17:51:00 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=733455 17:51:01 #info Kickstart error "Section does not end with %end" 17:51:01 Bug 733455: high, unspecified, ---, clumens, MODIFIED, Kickstart error "Section does not end with %end" 17:51:47 this definitely doesn't hit our minimal criterion as it's to do with %include-ing another file 17:51:48 this rejects properly formatted ks, right? 17:52:04 so this is another 'case law' one, if we're really worried about this, we can add it to the criteria 17:52:18 I dont think that is necessary 17:52:36 I think this one is just regular bug that needs fixing as in reject blocker 17:52:37 oh, I get it, I thought that putting the %end in the include was a workaround from having %end in the ks 17:53:00 yeah, I'm nth on this, at the most 17:53:04 yeah, this doesn't set off any major alarm bells for me 17:53:07 nth as it's a visible installer bug 17:53:10 I'd be worried about what it could do to stuff like cobbler 17:53:23 yup same here 17:53:54 wow, we're all agreeing today, must be something in the water =) 17:54:11 dont ruin it ;) 17:54:13 proposed #agreed - 733455 - RejectedBlocker AcceptedNTH - This doesn't hit any release criteria since it's working with %include but there are tools that use %include and it could be an ugly bug 17:54:25 adamw: now you've gone and jinxed us 17:54:49 nack! just kidding ack =) 17:54:56 hehe 17:54:58 ack 17:55:08 #agreed - 733455 - RejectedBlocker AcceptedNTH - This doesn't hit any release criteria since it's working with %include but there are tools that use %include and it could be an ugly bug 17:55:20 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735013 17:55:21 Bug 735013: unspecified, unspecified, ---, lpoetter, NEW, Having unit B bound or required to unit A and restarting unit A while it's active results hang 17:55:28 #info Having unit B bound or required to unit A and restarting unit A while it's active results hang 17:55:35 Viking-Ice: this is the one you were talking about before, no? 17:55:39 yup 17:55:43 clear bug in my case 17:56:05 I'm still a little unclear on the impact (as in number of packages) 17:56:27 I dont see how that matters 17:56:38 * tflink is re-reading 17:56:49 well, i don't think _number_ matters 17:57:02 if we're confident _some_ package would hit this in an f15-f16 upgrade it should be a blocker 17:57:19 if you would add for example Require= to mysql or httpd and update then mysql or update and the package runs try-restart or restart that will result in hang 17:57:22 i think this may be a case like the ones we hit in Alpha 17:57:30 where bugs hid behind each other 17:57:47 i think right now we may be a bit hesitant on this one because we haven't seen it...but we probably haven't seen it because upgrades are broken 17:57:53 Does it actually break updates or does this require a reboot after an update to fix running services? 17:57:59 i do kinda suspect that, once upgrades are fixed, we'll suddenly find we're running into this bug 17:58:36 i suppose it'd be easy enough to test a yum upgrade from f15 to f16 in a vm and see if it hits this 17:59:06 brunowolff, did not test updating a package which I had unit bound or required to the update in question but this was reported upstream 17:59:21 brunowolff: as I understand it, upgrades are broken not updates 17:59:27 and the reporter there mention hitting this on updates/upgrades hence 17:59:32 tflink, both 17:59:50 if the package script runs try-restart or restart this will hang regular update or upgrade 17:59:52 shouldn't we have seen this more by now, then? 18:00:04 that's a point, i guess... 18:00:05 we have more unit files in F16 18:00:13 Broken in what sense? Does the upgrade not complete? (I didn't see that when I upgraded from F15 to rawhide a few months ago.) 18:00:16 even more so after spot being on fire 18:00:22 i think tflink is saying why haven't we seen it on f16 updates 18:00:26 Does it just mess up running servuces? 18:00:39 brunowolff: if it's as described it would cause the update/upgrade process itself to hang 18:00:51 as the %post script would run an operation that hung, blocking up the whole process 18:00:54 Thanks. Thank sounds like a blocker to me. 18:01:09 but, as tflink points out, it doesn't seem like this is happening at all in f16 so far 18:01:29 the last report was 2011-08-04 18:01:30 from upstream report "Note that this is pretty bad as try-restart is run during %post on yum update, 18:01:30 so if it hangs, the whole yum process waits on it, and if the user kills it, he 18:01:30 ends up with an unfinished yum transaction and a potentially broken system." 18:01:43 over a month ago, maybe its been fixed magically 18:01:46 hence a clear blocker 18:01:59 as described, I'm +1 blocker on this 18:02:04 tflink, Lennart has not fixed this freeipa guys are waiting for that fix 18:02:06 yeah...i think there's no real harm in taking this 18:02:07 but it would be nice to have some recent repros 18:02:12 since they depend on this working correctly 18:02:14 it's safer than _not_ taking it 18:02:20 very true 18:02:28 Viking-Ice: can you make sure lennart fixes it soon? 18:02:45 Lennart is on tour 18:03:04 proposed #agreed - 735013 - AcceptedBlocker - The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade installation from a clean, fully updated default installation (from any official install medium) of the previous stable Fedora release, either via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually.

This includes correctly accessing any en 18:09:24 hmm, that could have been shorter 18:10:21 my fault for writing the criteria as if i'm getting paid by word 18:10:54 otherwise, I'm fine with "booting into multi-user mode should work, even if a graphical desktop is installed" 18:11:45 uhum that kinda might be a bit vague 18:12:00 the proposed one or my shortened version? 18:12:08 criteria one 18:12:23 suggestions? 18:12:30 I'm ack on the proposal 18:12:33 right 18:12:44 oh, you were saying that the criterion was vague 18:12:45 oh wait 18:12:47 wrong criterion 18:12:53 that's the firstboot criterion 18:13:03 otherwise, I'm fine with "booting into multi-user mode should work, even if a graphical desktop is installed" 18:13:06 the criterion is "When booting a system installed without a graphical environment, or when using 18:13:06 a correct configuration setting to cause an installed system to boot in 18:13:06 non-graphical mode, the system should boot to a state where it is possible to 18:13:06 log in through at least one of the default virtual consoles" 18:13:06 speaking of this 18:13:44 any we might need a set of target to test emergency.target multi-user.target graphical.target 18:13:45 etc.. 18:14:00 proposed #agreed - 737118 - When booting a system installed without a graphical environment, or when using a correct configuration setting to cause an installed system to boot in non-graphical mode, the system should boot to a state where it is possible to log in through at least one of the default virtual consoles 18:14:18 ack 18:14:20 ack 18:14:21 #agreed - 737118 - When booting a system installed without a graphical environment, or when using a correct configuration setting to cause an installed system to boot in non-graphical mode, the system should boot to a state where it is possible to log in through at least one of the default virtual consoles 18:14:44 I think that's it for the proposed blockers 18:14:47 did I miss any?

In theory it might affect an install. 18:44:23 put it off until we hit final, then? 18:44:32 i think i'd be -1 on balance right now 18:44:49 That's OK with me, I just wanted to run it by people as it was kind of borderline. 18:44:53 yeah... 18:45:14 OK, we'll leave it alone for now then 18:45:18 brunowolff: thanks for bringing it up 18:45:24 I have my machines fixed, so it isn't giving me grief now. 18:45:43 4 acceptedBlockers left 18:45:47 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=734791 18:45:48 Bug 734791: unspecified, unspecified, ---, dennis, NEW, Checksum files for Live have wrong name 18:45:55 #info Checksum files for Live have wrong name 18:46:02 so, seems like confusion reigns here. 18:46:26 and i'm kinda of the opinion we should punt the whole mess over to releng. but as i recall, it's actually the case that we intend TC releases to have TC in the file names. 18:47:11 yeah, I'm of similar mind 18:47:19 it doesn't really strike me as a critical issue; wrong names in an RC would be 18:47:34 bad torrent files would seem to be more worrying, but the bug isn't about those 18:48:31 so...i'd say this bug as described is fixed in TC2 18:48:42 as for TC2, the checksum file and image file names match 18:48:50 whether they're 'right' or not, the biggest issue is that they should match 18:49:00 i think we can close and ask andre to open new bugs for future problems 18:49:19 proposed #agreed - 734791 - the checksum and image file names match, can close 18:49:45 ack 18:50:06 #agreed - 734791 - the checksum and image file names match, can close 18:50:16 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=718722 18:50:17 Bug 718722: unspecified, unspecified, ---, pjones, NEW, Mismatched or corrupt version of stage1/stage2 18:50:24 #info Mismatched or corrupt version of stage1/stage2 18:51:08 this seems to have stalled 18:51:13 but no repros for a while, either 18:52:01 there was some discussion of this one on #anaconda yesterday, i think 18:52:03 trying to remember the context 18:52:44 I'd say ask for updates and leave it for now 18:52:59 is it still an issue? has the path forward been decided? 18:53:00 #anaconda.09.log:09-09-2011 08:20:42 < dgilmore!~dgilmore@fedora/dgilmore: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=718722 im hitting that bug trying to make ec images 18:53:01 Bug 718722: unspecified, unspecified, ---, pjones, NEW, Mismatched or corrupt version of stage1/stage2 18:53:15 so, it seems to be impeding ec2 images. somehow. not entirely sure how. 18:53:44 I thought the rolled back versions of grub were put out there. So I don't expect people to have problems with this, even though there is still an underlying problem. 18:53:47 not sure, there haven't been any updates on the rel-eng ticket 18:53:57 i think maybe add a needinfo 18:54:06 brunowolff: rolled back versions...of what? 18:54:17 I'll bring it up in the cloud sig meeting 18:54:23 grub's up to grub-0.97-77.fc16.x86_64 now 18:54:24 grub built with the older compiler. 18:54:50 I thought I originally hit this with updates-testing in F15. 18:55:03 so..maybe this will come up again now there's been a grub update? 18:55:03 it surprises me that this is an issue, boxgrinder doesn't have a problem with it and I thought that they both used the same base tools 18:55:24 I don't remeber if it made it to updates and then was further updated or if the update was dropped. 18:55:41 either way, we need more info 18:55:44 yeah 18:55:50 let's throw a needinfo and some ccs in there... 18:55:53 needinfo on dgilmore? 18:55:56 yeah 18:55:58 Though I haven't done a grub-install in a while. 18:56:48 proposed #agreed - 718722 - we need more information on this. Supposedly its blocking EC2 composes and there haven't been updates for a while. 18:56:51 I noticed it because I redid my disk partition layout on a mirrored system and needed to do a grub-install as part of that. 18:57:02 #action tflink bring up 718722 in the cloudSIG meeting 18:57:41 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=734845 18:57:42 Bug 734845: unspecified, unspecified, ---, dennis, NEW, repoclosure failure in 16-Beta.TC1 DVDs 18:57:51 #info repoclosure failure in 16-Beta.TC1 DVDs 18:57:54 uh 18:58:02 you didn't do the #agreed on the last one 18:58:06 only proposed it 18:58:08 #undo 18:58:08 Removing item from minutes: 18:58:10 #undo 18:58:10 Removing item from minutes: 18:58:16 #agreed - 718722 - we need more information on this.
