  2. Purpose of this meeting (bcotton, 17:03:40)
    1. Purpose of this meeting is to check whether or not F29 Beta is ready for shipment, according to the release criteria. (bcotton, 17:03:48)
    2. This is determined in a few ways: (bcotton, 17:03:49)
    3. 1. No remaining blocker bugs (bcotton, 17:03:56)
    4. 2. Release candidate compose is available (bcotton, 17:03:57)
    5. 3. Test matrices for Beta are fully completed (bcotton, 17:03:59)
    6. https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/29/beta/buglist (bcotton, 17:04:08)
    7. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Fedora_29_Test_Results (bcotton, 17:04:10)

  3. Current Status -- blocker bugs (bcotton, 17:04:26)
    1. https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/29/beta/buglist (bcotton, 17:04:31)
    2. 2 Proposed Blockers (bcotton, 17:05:34)
    3. 2 Accepted Blockers (bcotton, 17:05:35)

  4. (1630134) gnome-shell stuck when I move and drop favorite icon (bcotton, 17:05:44)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1630134 (bcotton, 17:05:46)
    2. Proposed Blocker, gnome-shell, VERIFIED (bcotton, 17:05:47)
    3. BZ 1630134 is fixed in RC5 (bcotton, 17:06:54)
    4. AGREED: 1630134 - RejectedBlocker (Beta) AcceptedFreezeException (Beta) - this is rejected as a blocker as it does not violate any beta criteria, but it is an easily-encounterable GNOME crasher so accepted as an FE (adamw, 17:14:41)

  5. (1628495) In UEFI mode, Fedora 29 cannot be installed in Safe Graphics Mode (bcotton, 17:14:56)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1628495 (bcotton, 17:14:57)
    2. Proposed Blocker, xorg-x11-server, NEW (bcotton, 17:14:59)
    3. AGREED: 1628495 - RejectedBlocker (Beta) AcceptedFreezeException (Beta) - this seems to be limited in impact and has not yet been demonstrated to render any real system incapable of reaching the installer. also it may not technically violate the criterion, as the boot menu does function as intended. It is accepted as an FE issue as improving the success rate of basic mode would at least possibly be helpful (adamw, 17:24:59)

  6. (1629378) Trying to start dnfdragora causes an error in dnfdaemon and the program cannot continue (bcotton, 17:25:31)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1629378 (bcotton, 17:25:33)
    2. Accepted Blocker, dnfdaemon, VERIFIED (bcotton, 17:25:34)
    3. Fixed in RC4 (bcotton, 17:28:40)

  7. (1629340) PackageKit update crashes at end of transaction with "TransactionItem state is not set: grub2-tools-1:2.02-57.fc29.x86_64" (bcotton, 17:30:55)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1629340 (bcotton, 17:30:56)
    2. Accepted Blocker, libdnf, ON_QA (bcotton, 17:30:58)
    3. Fixed in RC4 (bcotton, 17:31:41)

  8. Current status - Release candidate compose is available (bcotton, 17:32:30)
    1. RC4 and RC5 are available as options (bcotton, 17:34:26)
    2. neither has outstanding blockers (adamw, 17:34:40)
    3. RC5 includes a Silverblue installer image, RC4 does not (adamw, 17:35:20)
    4. RC5 includes fixes for several GNOME bugs that RC4 does not (adamw, 17:36:15)
    5. RC5 fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1628462, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1631068 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1630134 (mboddu, 17:36:26)
    6. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/2GASMQHGCWWGNDG34D3XDB4RSLAZR6UV/ has a list of the bugs fixed (adamw, 17:37:40)

  9. Current status - Test coverage (bcotton, 17:40:05)
    1. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Fedora_29_Test_Results (bcotton, 17:40:13)
    2. https://www.happyassassin.net/testcase_stats/29/ (bcotton, 17:40:46)
    3. test coverage between RC4 and RC5 is effectively complete (one upgrade test is from RC3 with a known bug that is rejected as blocker, AD join tests are from RC1, we are happy that these have not changed in RC4/RC5) (adamw, 17:50:23)
    4. RC5 test coverage seems sufficient to be quite confident it has no unexpected regressions compared to RC4 (adamw, 17:50:44)

  10. Go/No-Go decision (bcotton, 17:52:06)
    1. AGREED: Fedora 29 Beta is GO with RC5 (bcotton, 17:55:43)
