15:03:11 <pwhalen> while we wait..
15:03:15 <pwhalen> #topic 0) ==== Fedora 26 Beta ====
15:03:44 <pbrobinson> I think we looked relatively good here
15:03:58 <pbrobinson> I've not seen any arm specificc
15:03:59 <pwhalen> F26 Beta was released last week, was there anything we wanted to discuss?
15:04:13 <jlinton> Do, we need to do a package review again?
15:04:33 <jlinton> I was caught a little off guard by chromium & thunderbird being missing
15:05:20 <pwhalen> are they both ftbs on aarch64?
15:05:47 <pbrobinson> jlinton: I knew about chromium, I didn't know about thunderbird
15:06:00 <pbrobinson> did you ever get a response from the maintainer?
15:06:08 <pbrobinson> I saw it was enabled again
15:06:18 <jlinton> Yes, thunderbird was being re enabled
15:06:24 <pwhalen> right, thunderbird is now built
15:07:01 <jlinton> I spent some time with chromium, but my machine's cores are being consumed trying to find the x28 problem in firefox,
15:07:17 <jlinton> which may have been there for a while,
15:07:34 <jlinton> until I know what exactly is causing it, I can't tell
15:08:27 <jlinton> (x28 isn't being consistently restored by the callee, resulting in random crashes)
15:10:49 <pwhalen> #info Thunderbird missing from aarch64 F26 Beta, re-enabled and now built.
15:11:26 <jlinton> Anyway, chromium. The maintainer pointed that the difficulty in building chromium in general, and that aarch64 presented its own problems. When I looked it it, it seems the build process was hardcoded to cross built it
15:11:59 <pwhalen> #info Chromium also missing, not yet built. If anyone has cycles to look at it for aarch64 the help is appreciated.
15:12:12 <jlinton> although, ninja's use isn't clear to me.. so there might be a higher level flag to disable cross building the 3rd party packages its shipping with.
15:12:18 <pbrobinson> jlinton: yes, the whole chromium build process is a shit show, and one that changes the goal posts regularly, which is why I've never bothered to look
15:12:44 <pbrobinson> like it ships entire forks of multiple toolchains
15:13:11 <pwhalen> lets move on
15:13:14 <pwhalen> #topic 1) ==== Userspace Status  ====
15:13:52 <pwhalen> any userspace issues? build or usage?
15:14:33 <pbrobinson> none I'm aware of
15:15:35 <pwhalen> #info No known userspace issues.
15:15:47 <pwhalen> #topic 2) ==== Kernel Status ====
15:16:26 <pwhalen> how does everything look in 4.12?
15:17:33 <pbrobinson> 4.12 is looking OK
15:17:42 <pbrobinson> I need to test it wider
15:18:11 <pbrobinson> in the 4.11 case we're now on 4.11.6 and there's some fixes for RPi and more OrangePi devices supporting ethernet
15:18:36 <pwhalen> I did some testing yesterday but will do the rest over the next couple of days. if others can do the same and report any issues..
15:19:19 <pwhalen> #info Kernel 4.11.6 includes some fixes for RPi and more OrangePi devices supporting ethernet.
15:19:34 <pwhalen> #info Please test and report any issues to the list or #fedora-arm.
15:20:10 <rric> there should be now also boot support for CN99xx (ThunderX2) systems
15:20:32 <rric> since kernel-4.11.6-300.fc26
15:21:27 <pwhalen> #info kernel-4.11.6-300.fc26 includes support for CN99xx (ThunderX2) systems.
15:21:35 <pwhalen> very nice, thanks rric
15:21:45 <rric> I still need some final testing
15:21:52 <rric> but looking good so far
15:22:11 <rric> + some updates for CN88xx (ThunderX)
15:22:28 <pbrobinson> rric: cool, let me know if there's anything else needed there
15:22:30 <rric> thanks to pbrobinson for taking the time to look into my patches
15:22:33 <pwhalen> any other kernel news?
15:23:01 <pbrobinson> probably a lot, but none I can think of
15:23:07 <pwhalen> #topic 3) ==== Bootloader Status ====
15:23:29 <pbrobinson> so I think we're looking OK here
15:23:54 <pbrobinson> the 2017.05 release in f26 will likely have another build to bring some extra bits of functionality
15:24:20 <pbrobinson> primarily a few bug fixes and some functionality for chain loading on some chromebooks
15:25:12 <pbrobinson> plus some improvements to support for rockchips devices
15:25:35 <pbrobinson> the 2017.07 release (which doesn't currently build) will have a lot of new aarch64 SBCs, enhanced chromebooks support
15:26:16 <pwhalen> #info Uboot 2017.05 release in f26 will likely have another build to bring some extra bits of functionality, primarily a few bug fixes and some functionality for chain loading on some chromebooks.
15:27:01 <pwhalen> #info Uboot 2017.07 to include new aarch64 SBCs, enhanced chromebooks support.
15:28:02 <pwhalen> #topic 4) ==== F26 Final ====
15:28:38 <pwhalen> #info 2017-06-27 - final freeze.
15:29:03 <pwhalen> #info 2017-07-11 - F26 GA Release
15:29:32 <pwhalen> any concerns for final?
15:30:12 <pbrobinson> no, we need a grub2 fix
15:30:23 <pbrobinson> and there's a few other bits I'd like to get done
15:30:31 <pbrobinson> anyone got anything critical?
15:31:05 <pwhalen> #info Full list of blockers: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/26/beta/buglist
15:31:19 <pwhalen> #topic 5) == Open Floor ==
15:31:49 <pwhalen> anything else for today?
15:32:00 <jlinton> rric: pbrobinson: Back to the cn88xx, did you guys pick up markz's patch for the gicv3 errata?
15:32:25 <rric> jlinton, no, we only have boot support
15:35:05 <rric> jlinton, the idea is to upgrade the latest kernel once installed
15:35:21 <rric> to upgrade to ...
15:47:09 <pwhalen> sorry, I got distracted..
