15:02:29 <pwhalen> ok folks, without further ado..
15:02:33 <pwhalen> #topic 1) ==== Package Status & Issues  ====
15:02:48 <pwhalen> How awesome everything looking this week?
15:03:01 <pbrobinson> big one here is grub2, I'll cover that later
15:03:11 <pbrobinson> other than that nothing major here, I need to bootstrap eclipse
15:03:33 <pbrobinson> libreoffice is still FTBFS but that's the bigggest blocker at the moment
15:03:42 <pbrobinson> there's some other smaller ones
15:03:51 <pbrobinson> nothing major for f24
15:03:51 <pwhalen> indeed... when do you think you'll be looking at eclipse?
15:04:01 <pbrobinson> in the next day or so
15:04:10 <pwhalen> #info libreoffice is still FTBFS currently the bigggest blocker at the moment.
15:04:23 <pbrobinson> but overall it's looking pretty rosy
15:04:47 <pwhalen> #info Eclipse bootstrap to be completed within the next week.
15:05:10 <pwhalen> rosy is good.. anyone have anything else to add?
15:05:53 <pwhalen> #info No major issues in F24.
15:05:59 <pwhalen> #topic 2) ==== Kernel Status ====
15:06:20 <pbrobinson> so I think 4.5 for F_24 is looking pretty good for both aarch64 and ARMv7
15:06:52 <pbrobinson> I'm starting to shift focus to 4.6 as it'll be GA in a week so we want to make sure it looks good as it'll likely be a zero day for F-24
15:06:53 <pwhalen> agreed, small issue remains with tegra devices on 4.5
15:07:12 <pbrobinson> yes, I'm going to try and find a fix for that soon
15:07:24 <pwhalen> #info Kernel 4.6 to be GA in aprx one week.
15:08:07 <pwhalen> #info Latest - kernel-4.6.0-0.rc7.git1.1.fc25
15:08:15 <pwhalen> #link http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=761711
15:08:33 <pwhalen> building now on primary, not yet picked up on aarch64
15:09:20 <pwhalen> I'll be cycling through all devices to check how its looking. is anyone aware of problems on 4.6 on anything?
15:09:24 <pbrobinson> should't be far off
15:10:01 <pbrobinson> I know of an issue on BBone devices with crypto driver, possible on omap too
15:10:35 <pwhalen> #info issue on BBone devices with crypto driver, possible on omap as well.
15:10:59 <pwhalen> ok, shoudl all be perfect then :) ..
15:11:47 <pwhalen> #topic 3) ==== Bootloader Status ====
15:12:07 <pwhalen> so grub2
15:13:09 <pbrobinson> so grub2 still not fixed
15:13:28 <pwhalen> #info boot fails with Synchronous Exception on aarch64 with grub2 built with gcc6 (BZ#1319083)
15:13:29 <pbrobinson> it's in the pile with other priorities ATM
15:13:41 <pwhalen> but being looked at as time permits.
15:13:57 <pwhalen> if anyone is able to assist here, that would be more than awesome
15:14:57 <pwhalen> the Beta includes the f23 version of grub2, which works for an install. after upgrading to the latest, the boot will fail with the sync exception.
15:15:16 <linuxmodder> pwhalen,  post mtg  care to  spin me up on aarch64  grub stuff ?   I can test this week if  you or someone can do that
15:15:31 <pbrobinson> it's quite low level, likely cache optimisation or similar
15:15:39 <pwhalen> linuxmodder, spin you up?
15:15:48 <pbrobinson> linuxmodder: testing isn't the issue here
15:17:34 <pwhalen> to work around the issue, it should be possible ot run an efibootmgr command to boot from grub rather than shim..
15:17:53 <pwhalen> but it failed silently when i tried
15:18:20 <dmarlin> pwhalen: do we have a bz on that one as well (efibootmgr fail) ?
15:18:46 <pwhalen> dmarlin, none filed yet, i wasnt sure if i was doing something wrong
15:19:00 <dmarlin> pwhalen: probably best to get one in, just in case.
15:19:02 <pwhalen> ill look again now that beta is out
15:19:05 <pwhalen> right
15:19:08 <dmarlin> thanks pwhalen
15:19:15 <pwhalen> other eyes are awesome too :)
15:19:52 <pwhalen> other than our grub2 issue..
15:20:40 <hrw> pine64 has own bootloader issues but no time for it
15:20:43 <pwhalen> #info uboot-tools-2016.05-0.4.rc3.fc25 now available for testing. Will likely be GA within the next, so important to check all devices.
15:20:52 <pwhalen> #undo
15:20:52 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: INFO by pwhalen at 15:20:43 : uboot-tools-2016.05-0.4.rc3.fc25 now available for testing. Will likely be GA within the next, so important to check all devices.
15:21:06 <pwhalen> #info uboot-tools-2016.05-0.4.rc3.fc25 now available for testing. Will likely be GA within the next week, so important to check all devices and report issues.
15:21:33 <hrw> Andre Przywara (apritzel) improved something related to how u-boot boots but did not had time to follow
15:21:42 <pbrobinson> hrw: new image from the weekend here, sadly still gpt, tyring to get a mbr partition one working http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/kojifiles/work/tasks/5590/3535590/Fedora-Minimal-24-Beta1.3.aarch64.raw.xz
15:22:30 <hrw> pbrobinson: ok, but I am concentrating on linaro stuff now more
15:23:15 <pbrobinson> hrw: sure, would be nice if you could help us get the cloud stuff tested given you're the OpenStack "expert"
15:23:33 <pwhalen> +1 :)
15:23:36 <hrw> ;D
15:23:45 <pwhalen> anything else for bootloaders?
15:24:22 <pwhalen> #topic 4) ==== F24 Beta ====
15:24:22 <pwhalen> #info Beta Shipped today for both armhfp and aarch64!!
15:24:34 <pwhalen> w00t w00t!
15:24:53 <pwhalen> #info Please review the install documentation.
15:24:53 <pwhalen> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F24/Installation
15:24:53 <pwhalen> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/AArch64/F24/Installation
15:25:22 <pbrobinson> yes, release announcement going out shortly after the meeting
15:25:23 <pwhalen> standard install docs, have a look and sanity check if you can
15:25:55 <pwhalen> seattle is added back in for aarch64
15:26:49 <pwhalen> #info Hardware Support for F24 Beta - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F24/Installation/Hardware_Status
15:27:35 <pwhalen> looks pretty good for hw support, if i missed a device you have, please add it to the matrix
15:27:55 * pwhalen removes draft note
15:28:40 <pwhalen> as i understand it the cloud stuff doesnt work for aarch64, hrw did you file a bug by chance?
15:29:01 <hrw> not yet
15:29:20 <pwhalen> ok, thanks for testing that! i think you're the first
15:29:30 <pbrobinson> fix would be even better, hrw can you give an overview of the issue?
15:29:37 <hrw> ok
15:29:55 <pwhalen> anything else worth mentioning for the Beta release? thoughts? concerns?
15:30:03 <hrw> so if you uefi boot fedora cloud image then it complains about lack of mokmanager.efi
15:30:09 <pbrobinson> docker images
15:30:13 <hrw> when added it ends in efi shell.
15:30:19 <hrw> something like it was
15:30:34 * pbrobinson looks at what mokmanager.efi is
15:30:41 <hrw> once I finish with debian image will take a look at fedora one
15:30:53 <hrw> pbrobinson: secure boot keys management stuff iirc
15:31:18 <hrw> ubuntu and opensuse just have grub as /efi/boot/bootaa64.efi and goes
15:31:27 <pbrobinson> hrw: OK, so we might just be missing shim
15:32:06 <pbrobinson> hrw: I'll update the kickstarts to force that in, with luck fixed for tomorrow's build if you could test that would be fab
15:32:59 <hrw> ok
15:33:02 <hrw> will do
15:33:20 <pwhalen> nice, thanks
15:33:47 <pbrobinson> hrw: I'll cross check to see if there's anything else we need
15:35:14 <pwhalen> anything else for the beta?
15:35:14 <pbrobinson> I'll add efibootmgr too
15:35:59 <pwhalen> #topic 5) == Open Floor ==
15:37:59 <pwhalen> last call for open floor...
15:38:04 <dmarlin> I plan to make a new dragonboard (db410c) remix image based on F24... should be ready later this week.
15:38:08 <pbrobinson> hrw: change pushed, will be in tomorrow's nightly rawhide/f24 compose so liet me know how you get on
15:38:20 <pbrobinson> dmarlin: can you ping me your DB kernel config
15:38:26 <hrw> pbrobinson: thanks
15:38:35 <dmarlin> pbrobinson: I'm using the debian kernel for the remix
15:38:46 <hrw> dmarlin: does it need something extra than image format?
15:39:04 <pbrobinson> dmarlin: can you ping me the .config? I'm being loaded one on Thurs so I'm hoping to get the kernel bits in
15:39:05 <hrw> I thought that kernel stuff got integrated enough to boot
15:39:17 <pbrobinson> loaned one even
15:39:18 <dmarlin> pbrobinson: will do
15:39:46 <pbrobinson> dmarlin: in theory we can also redistribute the binary blobs now so we might be able to support it, and we now build a u-boot for it
15:40:01 <dmarlin> pbrobinson: sounds encouraging
15:40:45 <pbrobinson> dmarlin: yes, I'm trying to get disk images working with standard partitions
15:40:57 <pbrobinson> there's one with gpt parts of beta content hree http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/kojifiles/work/tasks/5590/3535590/Fedora-Minimal-24-Beta1.3.aarch64.raw.xz
15:41:11 <pbrobinson> as a minimal if you want something for testing
15:43:15 <pwhalen> ok, closing in 5..
