    11. 12 Accepted Blockers (tflink, 16:47:58)
    12. 38 Proposed NTH (tflink, 16:47:58)
    13. 9 Accepted NTH (tflink, 16:47:58)
    14. 13 Proposed Blockers marked Ready for Discussion (tflink, 16:47:59)

  3. (883075) fedup upgrading is too quiet (tflink, 16:49:38)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=883075 (tflink, 16:49:38)
    2. Proposed Blocker, fedup-dracut, ASSIGNED (tflink, 16:49:38)
    3. AGREED: 883075 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F18 final release criteria in spirit due to lack of user-facing progress information: "For each one of the release-blocking package sets, it must be possible to successfully complete an upgrade from a fully updated installation of the previous stable Fedora release with that package set installed, using all officially recommended upgrade mechanisms..." (tflink, 16:54:00)

  4. (887236) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe6 in position 3: ordinal not in range(128) (tflink, 16:54:06)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887236 (tflink, 16:54:09)
    2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW (tflink, 16:54:12)
    3. AGREED: 887236 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F18 final release criterion for several well-used non-english languages: "The installer must be able to complete an installation using all supported interfaces" (tflink, 16:57:58)

  5. (886502) create grub.cfg even when not installing bootloader (tflink, 16:58:02)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886502 (tflink, 16:58:04)
    2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW (tflink, 16:58:07)
    3. AGREED: 886502 - RejectedBlocker AcceptedNTH - This doesn't clearly violate any F18 release criteria but it would help multibooters if we generate the config during install w/o bootloader and this can't be fixed with a post-release update. A tested fix would be considered past freeze. (tflink, 17:03:02)

  6. (869841) attempts to resize ufs partitions (tflink, 17:03:08)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=869841 (tflink, 17:03:08)

    3. http://www.fpaste.org/tRNH/raw/ (fenrus02, 17:07:47)
    4. AGREED: 869841 - RejectedBlocker AcceptedNTH - While this is a technical violation of the release criteria, it seems to be a bit too much of a corner case to justify blocking release for. However, it can't be fixed with an update post-release and a tested fix would be considered past freeze (tflink, 17:30:39)

  7. (875944) Shrink function in 'Reclaim space' dialog does not allow user to specify target size, automatically picks smallest possible size (tflink, 17:30:52)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=875944 (tflink, 17:30:55)
    2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW (tflink, 17:36:28)
    3. AGREED: 875944 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F18 final release criteria by making other installed OSs so small, they are practically unusable after a relatively short time: "The installer must be able to install into free space alongside an existing clean single-partition Windows installation and either install a bootloader which can boot into the Windows installation, or leave the Windows bootloader untouched and working" (tflink, 17:37:49)

  8. (885385) Strange race in livecd creation (tflink, 17:40:28)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=885385 (tflink, 17:40:28)
    2. Proposed Blocker, livecd-tools, ON_QA (tflink, 17:40:28)
    3. AGREED: 885385 - RejectedBlocker AcceptedNTH - This doesn't cause compose failures every time and thus isn't enough to block release. However, getting reliable composes is important and a tested fix would be considered past freeze. (tflink, 17:46:58)

  9. (886647) Anaconda throws exception trying to setup network (tflink, 17:47:02)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886647 (tflink, 17:47:04)
    2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW (tflink, 17:47:06)
    3. AGREED: 886647 - While potentially serious, there is not currently enough information to make a decision on blocker status. Will revisit when more information is available. (tflink, 17:52:23)

  10. (886061) core fedora repository error must be fatal, otherwise the upgraded system might be broken heavily (tflink, 17:52:32)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886061 (tflink, 17:52:35)
    2. Proposed Blocker, fedup, NEW (tflink, 17:52:37)

    2. Proposed Blocker, spin-kickstarts, NEW (tflink, 18:13:20)
    3. AGREED: 886705 - RejectedBlocker AcceptedNTH - This doesn't clearly violate any of the F18 release criteria and thus is rejected as a blocker. However, the livecd cannot be updated post-release so a tested fix would be considered past freeze. (tflink, 18:26:46)

AGREED: 887363 - AcceptedBlocker - Violation of the following F18 final release criterion for EC2 images: "The release must boot successfully as Xen DomU with releases providing a functional, supported Xen Dom0 and widely used cloud providers utilizing Xen. This does not include any issues limited to the release functioning as Xen Dom0" (tflink, 18:36:17)

    2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW (tflink, 18:36:30)
    3. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=876789 is the other bug (adamw, 18:38:59)
    4. AGREED: 887539 - We need more information on whether this is a dupe of #876789 before making a decision on blocker status. will re-visit later (tflink, 18:44:00)
