The wiki page is up and we can talk more about virt test day later ... 15:06:52 maxamillion: cool! 15:07:00 speaking of ... 15:07:01 bug 694712? cannot install to VirtualBox atm 15:07:06 #topic F-15-Beta RC2 status 15:07:07 * Viking-Ice half here half fixing his native iptables service files 15:07:16 vhumpa: heh, okay :) 15:07:20 ergh ... Viking-Ice ^^^ 15:07:30 #info We have until Wednesday (2011-04-13) to complete testing of the installation and desktop matrices 15:07:45 satellit_: 694712 is fixed in rc2. 15:07:48 #info Test results at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Fedora_15_Beta_RC_Test_Results 15:08:00 : ) 15:08:16 #info Monitor proposed and accepted blocker bugs - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers 15:08:30 okay, now for the details ... how are these matrices holding up so far 15:09:07 rhe reckons install is looking good so far. 15:09:16 awesome-ness 15:09:30 desktop also looks good, we have most results in for gnome and kde. 15:09:43 holy cow, we've got almost all installation results in already 15:09:49 i think you were worried about issues with upgrades, right? 15:10:13 I hit some odd stuff doing a F-14 (default) -> F-15 using preupgrade 15:10:25 right, though we have checkmarks for preupgrade pulled in from rc1 15:10:32 I'll get started on tracking those issues down and filing if needed 15:10:35 i was planning to see if i can reproduce your issues 15:10:36 yeah, preupgrade itself works great 15:10:58 adamw: oh thanks ... it could certainly be something specific in how I was testing. So I need to re-run also 15:11:14 well, our criteria do now specify that we expect upgraded systems to work 15:11:21 right 15:11:22 so serious bugs post-upgrade can be an issue 15:11:44 and they did ... but some slight modifications were needed. But ... will retest and see if Cranes was seeing things 15:12:07 cool 15:12:11 aside from that we're looking nice on rc2 15:12:14 outside of the wiki matrices, any other feedback to share? 15:12:30 oh, speaking of pre-upgrade .... I have a friend who's trying to pre-upgrade and it keeps throwing errors about trying to download things that don't exist ... is there something that changed repo side that needs tweaking on the preupgrade side to work? 15:12:51 maxamillion: make sure you are using the latest preupgrade 15:13:06 which reminds me ... we need to give it karma 15:13:07 jlaska: I'll ping him later ... that might be his problem :X 15:13:08 before release 15:13:16 preupgrade-1.1.9-1.fc14 15:13:23 nm ... bodhi lists it as 'stable' already 15:13:33 :) 15:13:47 adamw: 0 proposed blockers ... yay 15:14:06 1 accepted blocker still in MODIFIED (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/693588) 15:14:32 we can close it, the update went stable. 15:14:38 it didn't happen automatically as the bug id wasn't in bodhi. 15:14:40 perfect 15:15:04 alright, if nothing else on the Beta ... let's move to everyones favorite time .. Upcoming QA events! 15:15:26 #topic Upcoming QA Events 15:16:02 #info Wednesday, April 13 - F-15-Beta Go/NoGo meeting @ 21:00 UTC 15:16:15 unless we want to adjust the time ...

Kparal, do you mind taking over? 15:17:16 jlaska: ok 15:17:19 * jlaska walking through agenda at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Meetings/20110411 15:18:02 #info Thursday, April 14 - Virtualization Test Day 15:18:38 there doesn't seem to be many test cases there 15:18:50 is someone working on that? 15:19:18 should be jforbes 15:19:26 i will check in with him and make sure he's on schedule 15:19:26 any volunteer to check with jforbes and rwmjones the status? 15:19:44 #action adamw check the progress of tests cases in Virt Test Day 15:19:46 adamw: thanks 15:19:50 * kparal coming up to speed 15:20:03 #info Thursday, April 21 - GNOME3 Test Day #3 15:20:22 our highly awaited test day 15:20:35 yaay 15:20:36 vhumpa: any more work to be done? 15:20:57 Looks like it is mostly a questions of polishing the test set 15:21:37 I was talking with Radek today, not really many ideas for new testcases due to new functionality 15:21:40 * jlaska back 15:22:03 * kparal was not very effective, giving back the leadership 15:22:23 hah, whatever 15:22:36 anything else on the GNOME3 test day? 15:23:32 well, we'll stay tuned to vhumpa and rlat for any future updates 15:23:35 We will likely ad just about one test case and are thinking about removing some to reduce a number of them just a little bit so that testers dont get scared this time :) 15:23:44 oh, I spoke too soon 15:23:50 cool 15:23:57 That is just about it :) 15:23:59 thanks vhumpa 15:24:03 Will keep you posted 15:24:14 that's all I had for upcoming QA events 15:24:25 this of course assumed an on-time Beta hand-off :) 15:24:36 but, we'll let the criteria do the talking for that 15:24:46 #topic Nitrate project update 15:25:18 Samuel asked about nitrate project status last week .. so I just wanted to add some links to the meeting in case anyone else was following 15:25:30 and of course, Hurry can add more details if needed 15:25:39 #info Track package review - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690728 15:25:59 #info RFR (infrastructure) to setup a demo instance - https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2673 15:26:06 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tcms_feature_requirements 15:26:30 I think rhe made contact with nb with regards to the RFR. I'm not sure where that stands presently 15:26:43 but I do believe thats the next big hurdle 15:26:59 The package review is getting some good feedback, which is great 15:27:41 So that's all I have here ... I know Hurry has been juggling this along with testing this release. I know she has a lot more details for anyone that is interested 15:27:55 #topic Bruno Updated QA Spin kickstart 15:28:20 You may have seen Bruno's post to test@ today, but he made some changes to the QA spin kickstart 15:28:38 #info The full changes can be observed in the git shortlog - http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git 15:28:52 #info Over the weekend I updated the QA Test Day spin to make the Desktop entries favorites instead 15:29:02 #info I also set these up so that they persist over an install (assuming that would make more sense for testing) 15:29:08 #info Firefox is also set to go to the current test day page even when not run as a fovorite and it will not display the welcome page on first use. 15:29:25 If there are any other changes we'd want for the QA spin ... just let bruno know 15:29:47 I'd like to inspect his changes in a little more detail, kind of curious how we enable application favorites in the shell now 15:30:09 Okay, that's all I had on my list ... time for open-discussion 15:30:12 #topic Open discussion - 15:30:29 jlaska, /me has a little 15:30:40 on the nitrate topic 15:30:40 Anything not already discussed, that folks would like to discuss? 15:30:54 nb: nice, what's up? 15:30:57 1. what OS are you wanting, RHEL5 or 6? 15:31:25 or Fedora? 15:32:15 nb: I don't know off-hand, but I can ask rhe and the nitrate-devel folks. The wiki doc says it is python-2.4 compliant, so RHEL5 should work 15:32:26 but I'll pass along that question to rhe and company 15:32:32 It'll probably consist of first, you getting it set up on a publictest server, then setting everything up in puppet, and then we'll figure out where it's going to go on the production servers 15:33:08 thats about all i have at the moment 15:33:22 once i figure out what OS to use, i'll find you a publictest server to use 15:33:22 nb: okay, so we just need to determine what OS/release is needed 15:33:30 and get the appropriate people in the appropriate groups 15:33:37 great, thanks 15:33:53 oh kevin commented on your ticket also 15:34:35 one thing i would like to know is about what timeframe are updates pushed to the repo 15:34:47 oh boy, he did ... and I completely missed that :( 15:35:21 bk: are you speaking about nitrate, or are you referring to the F-15 'base' and 'updates-testing' repositories? 15:35:32 nb: I'll reply to kevin in the trac ticket 15:35:41 jlaska: f15 base and updates-testing, sorry i didnt specify 15:36:03 bk: updates are pushed once a day (unless there are failures generating the repos) 15:36:15 do we know what time or just any time? 15:36:45 #info nb provided some feedback for nitrate publictest instance. Need to say what OS/release is required 15:36:58 bk: I don't know ... rel-eng would be best to ask for that 15:37:28 dgilmore: Are the repo's updated about the same time everyday, or does it change? 15:37:33 jlaska: ok thanks, what are the main objectives for this channel? also is -qa the best place to discuss bugs or? 15:37:47 bk: this change is a shared IRC meeting channel 15:38:05 jlaska: which repos 15:38:17 bk: Yes, #fedora-qa (and test@lists.fedoraproject.org) is a good place to discuss quality issues, bugs and diagnosing failures 15:38:24 jlaska: different repos are done differently 15:38:27 bk: which repos, were you speaking of F-15? 15:38:32 jlaska: ok awesome, thanks 15:38:42 jlaska: yes, f15 15:38:46 dgilmore: ^^ 15:39:29 im running the first alpha right now (used live cd but was told updating via yum will be the same as what others have) and was just wondering really when the base repo was updated for core features etc 15:39:40 jlaska: which one 15:39:48 stable or updates-testing 15:39:51 yes :) 15:39:52 but also for gnome, but i can ask in gnome for that on gimpnet 15:40:02 bk: are you talking about updating the livecd or an install based on the livecd? 15:40:04 stable is done via a nightly cron job 15:40:09 when will the nightlys get anaconda that installs yesterdays desktop live failed to install to Virtualbox RC2 here live is working downloaded just now 15:40:13 so it should always land around the same time 15:40:15 tflink: not sure i understand the question 15:40:25 but the updates-testing is manuulay run so we can sign the rpms 15:40:28 and that does vary 15:40:29 bk: are you looking to update a livecd that you are currently running? 15:40:46 dgilmore: I see, thanks for the info 15:41:10 jlaska: np 15:41:10 tflink: basically yes, but was told i cannot update from alpha>beta since i used the live cd, so i was told if i just did a yum update i would be getting the same things as others are getting, so basically no need to switch to the beta 15:41:50 bk: on second thought, this probably isn't the best place to have this conversation - propose moving it to #fedora-qa so that the meeting can end 15:41:58 tflink: the reason i used the livecd is because i had to use usb and only had a 2gb 15:42:00 ok 15:42:22 satellit_: should be any minute now ... anaconda-15.27-1 is marked for stable and has been pushed 15:42:29 Any other business to discuss in this meeting? 15:42:31 thanks 15:42:38 Is Ethernet enabled by default in the test criterial anywhere? 15:42:50 Installed RC2 last night on a desktop and it wasn't 15:43:07 jclinton: it largely depends on how you install 15:43:13 From the ISO 15:43:32 if you do a non-network installation, and don't manually enable networking during installation, you won't have networking automatically connected after installation 15:43:35 RC2 on my machine was enabled by default this morning ... but Xorg causes a kernel panic about 90-ish seconds into every gnome session so I've given up 15:43:56 jlaska: that fail isn't on anaconda, it's the dracut issue. it gets fixed when dracut goes to stable. 15:44:01 jlaska: which dgilmore just pushed, i think. 15:44:05 jlaska: but firstboot offers NTP config. which *does* activate networking but fails to tell NM about it 15:44:16 adamw: great, thanks ( satellit_ see adamw's comment) 15:44:28 jclinton: please file a bug 15:44:40 i'm asking if this should be criteria or not 15:44:48 hence my first question 15:44:51 which was ignored 15:45:07 it's not, no 15:45:12 fine 15:45:18 I don't think that impacts the criteria, and I wouldn't add criteria requiring networking to be automatically enabled in all cases 15:45:25 we consider it an implied criterion that networking should *work*, but not that it should be enabled by default 15:45:34 adamw: i did just push it 15:46:08 dgilmore: cool. could you do a compose some time before the official beta release too? so that network installs will get the correct package set 15:46:26 adamw: what do you mean? 15:46:35 adamw: the compose has all the packages we pushed 15:46:45 dgilmore: er, i mean, of dist-f15 15:46:57 #info jclinton asked about network-related release criteria, and whether the network should be enabled in all cases 15:46:57 dgilmore: whatever has to be done to make sure all the packages we pulled into rc2 are in the 'f15' repo on mirrors 15:47:06 * adamw always sucks at terminology 15:47:06 adamw: oh that happens 15:47:09 ok cool. 15:47:17 adamw: the tree that we composed from is what gets pushed 15:47:30 adamw: its just sitting there waiting for the green light 15:47:43 adamw: we only make the isos available for testing 15:47:46 and not teh repos 15:48:36 okay, last call for topics 15:48:39 * jlaska sets fuse for 2 mins 15:49:36 1 minute ... 15:50:32 okay, thanks everyone 15:50:37 I'll send minutes to the list later today 15:50:39 #endmeeting
