15:00:23 <pwhalen> who's here today?
15:02:02 * pbrobinson o/
15:02:23 * jlinton waves
15:03:12 <pwhalen> howdy jlinton
15:04:02 <pwhalen> ok, lets get started
15:04:15 <pwhalen> #topic 1) ==== Userspace Status  ====
15:04:33 <pwhalen> any userspace issues?
15:05:15 <pbrobinson> I'm not currently aware of any issues here
15:05:33 <pwhalen> nor I, ok moving on
15:05:36 <pbrobinson> python 3.7 is in the process of landing in F-29/rawhide
15:05:59 <pwhalen> #info Python 3.7 is in the process of landing in F-29/rawhide.
15:06:09 <pwhalen> #topic 2) ==== Kernel Status ====
15:06:29 <pwhalen> #info Rawhide: kernel-4.18.0-0.rc3.git0.1.fc29
15:06:29 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1102429
15:07:18 <jlinton> RC3 has issues on one of the machines here due to changes in the ACPI parser
15:07:20 <pbrobinson> so all the issues we saw around rc1 <-> rc2 with both ARMv7 and aarch64 should now be resolved
15:07:33 <pbrobinson> jlinton: yes, is that the ThunderX2 problem?
15:07:38 <jlinton> yes
15:07:58 <jlinton> we "broke" the TX2 by pulling a socket, which confuses the firmware
15:08:08 <pbrobinson> yes, so I'm aware of that issue, a wired eth issue with i.mx6 and a few other minor device specific issues but over all it looks OK
15:08:09 <jlinton> which in turn blows up the kernel in a couple creative ways
15:08:28 <pbrobinson> as in hot plugging the socket?
15:08:34 <jlinton> well coldplug
15:08:53 <jlinton> (physically removed it when the machine was off)
15:09:11 <pbrobinson> ah, so having a two socket server but booting with one not-populated
15:09:15 <jlinton> right
15:09:32 <pbrobinson> good to see the QA team has widely tested HW configs then :-P
15:09:49 <jlinton> There its also hit by some of the numa/acpi issues discussed in another thread, but those can be worked around with numa=off
15:10:41 <pbrobinson> OK, well keep me in the loop and if we need to pull in patches or tweak configs we can review that
15:11:06 <jlinton> hopefully it gets resolved before 4.18 is released...
15:11:31 <pwhalen> #info Please test and report any issues to the list or #fedora-arm.
15:11:46 <pwhalen> #topic 3) ==== Bootloader Status ====
15:11:57 <pwhalen> #info New U-Boot - uboot-tools-2018.07-0.4.rc3.fc29
15:12:04 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1102684
15:13:02 <pwhalen> not had a chance to test this at all
15:13:12 <pbrobinson> the issue with the Pine64 should be resolved here
15:13:21 <pbrobinson> I've not tested it on any devices yet either
15:13:56 <pwhalen> #info Pine64 mmc issue fixed.
15:14:15 <pwhalen> #topic 4)  == F29 ==
15:14:23 <pwhalen> #info Latest nominated nightly - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test
15:14:40 <pbrobinson> so today is the last day for system wide changes
15:15:03 <pbrobinson> #info uEFI for ARMv7 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/uEFIforARMv7
15:15:27 <pbrobinson> #info ZRAM support for ARM images https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ZRAMforARMimages
15:16:47 <pbrobinson> I have a few more standalone features to submit, they're not due for a couple more weeks
15:16:54 <pbrobinson> anyone else working on anything?
15:17:08 <jlinton> I just got the dracut softdep change accepted
15:17:09 <jlinton> https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/commit/4cdee66c8ed5f82bbd0638e30d867318343b0e6c
15:17:39 <jlinton> that should help build host initrds for machines with "odd" driver dependencies
15:18:25 <pbrobinson> jlinton: awesome, I'll give it a look shortly
15:18:58 <jlinton> Yah, now I just need to make sure that the hikey modules all are MODULE_SOFTDEP()'ed correctly.
15:19:19 <jlinton> its working on my machine but I have a couple extra softdeps sprinked around that aren't upstream.
15:19:26 <pbrobinson> jlinton: if you have an example patch or change there let me know as I often look at that sort of stuff
15:20:05 <jlinton> sure its easy just MODULE_SOFTDEP("pre: drivername");
15:20:15 <jlinton> in the module which requires another to function properly
15:21:31 <pbrobinson> anyone have anything else for F-29?
