I run into few bugs while doing the desktop testing, but nothing close to being a stopper. 15:09:20 vhumpa: thanks for running through those desktop tests 15:09:41 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test 15:09:44 vhumpa: you said you've done some of the 'desktop' (gnome) tests too, are you going to add them to the matrix soon? 15:09:47 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test 15:10:12 adamw: I put them there about 15 minutes ago :) 15:10:28 * jlaska has to run a few odd-ball hardware tests on the install matrix 15:10:41 otherwise, it's looking in good shape 15:11:00 vhumpa: oh huh, i didn't see it 15:11:05 oh there we go! thanks 15:11:12 anything else folks want to cover before we dive into a mini-proposed bug review? 15:11:52 #info The QA retrospective page available for noting the good/bad/ugly ... https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_15_QA_Retrospective 15:12:04 that page is a helpful tool for those with short memories (me) :) 15:12:11 adamw: I will still try to complete the notification test case later 15:12:50 okay, we have 4 proposed blockers, and 3 proposed NTH ... who wants to review some bugs? 15:13:00 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers 15:13:39 small cheer 15:13:47 * jlaska notes ... silence indicates a +1 15:13:48 :) 15:13:53 this _should_ be quick 15:13:57 * jsmith is happy to help 15:13:58 the good news is that we can pretty much take the four proposed blockers together 15:14:01 if not ... we'll punt for #fedora-qa 15:14:06 adamw: Yeah... 15:14:07 adamw: yeah, good! 15:14:09 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=704726 15:14:13 #info upgrade from F-14 broken due to conflicts with gnome-desktop 15:14:24 adamw: you've already reviewed these issues it seems, any thoughts? 15:14:56 they're odd issues 15:15:11 i really can't see why it's going wrong, but since the report's from peter who I know has his head screws on, it worries me just a bit 15:15:23 is Peter around? 15:15:31 yeah, i just pinged to see if he'd pop in 15:15:33 do we know if these are found with 'yum' upgrades, not anaconda/preupgrade? 15:15:36 ? 15:15:52 this was a yum upgrade, but i'd like to find out what actually happened as it's an odd issue 15:15:56 is this with rc3? 15:16:02 if so i will retest 15:16:07 Southern_Gentlem: I don't think so ... it appears to be against the online reops 15:16:10 repos 15:16:14 Southern_Gentlem: if you're doing a yum upgrade the concept doesn't exactly apply 15:16:14 which may not yet be in sync with RC3 15:16:20 (concept of 'RC3', that is) 15:16:50 so what's happening here is that he has yum complaining about conflicts between an f15 package and a package which looks to be from the f14 install 15:17:02 but there are clearly higher versioned f15 packages available in the f15 repos 15:17:09 Saying by the gnome-desktop3 version, it looks like "RC3" 15:17:10 so i don't know why the f14 package is in play at all 15:17:31 it's kind of hard to tell, i guess it would be nice to have a much fuller log 15:17:38 How do these style of upgrades fit with the release criteria? 15:17:41 if peter doesn't show up we can ask him for the yum history report 15:17:44 Yeah, I'm thoroughly confused :-( 15:17:55 jlaska: a yum upgrade doesn't, but like i say, before we kick this out i'd like to understand it 15:17:58 i will test f14 everything install (except virtualization) fully updated to f15 rc3 15:18:01 adamw: of course 15:18:06 but even if it were valid as written, indeed, we wouldn't consider it a blocker 15:18:08 Southern_Gentlem: thanks 15:18:31 adamw: because it's something we can "easily" fix with a day-0 post-release update? 15:18:34 Could be a nth but not a blocker, based on its yum upgrade... 15:19:00 jlaska: yeah, and we just don't support yum upgrades 15:19:29 proposed #agreed 704726 - tentatively agree to keep on list awaiting additional feedback from reporter. If conditions hold, likely not a blocker since yum upgrades are not the official upgrade mechanism 15:19:32 we have shipped with issues like this in the past - things anaconda bashes its way around but yum chokes on - and all we've done is simply document them in the 'upgrading with yum' wiki page 15:19:38 ack 15:19:54 ack 15:19:56 ack from me ... will stay tuned for feedback from peter 15:20:04 anyone else ? ack/nak/patch? 15:20:11 +1 15:20:13 +1 15:20:23 okay, I think that should be enough 15:20:33 #agreed 704726 - tentatively agree to keep on list awaiting additional feedback from reporter. If conditions hold, likely not a blocker since yum upgrades are not the official upgrade mechanism 15:21:01 The 3 remaining bugs appear to be the same ... any objections if we follow that plan for all 4 yum upgrade bugs? 15:21:11 that's what i was going to suggest 15:21:15 Sounds like a good plan to me. 15:21:16 no objections here 15:21:27 okay, bare with me for a moment while I fiddle with #agreed 15:21:31 btw, in case it wasn't clear, this is doubly odd because peter seems to be the only one seeingi t 15:21:39 #agreed 704727 - tentatively agree to keep on list awaiting additional feedback from reporter. If conditions hold, likely not a blocker since yum upgrades are not the official upgrade mechanism 15:21:39 i've done a yum upgrade and didn't see this, and i think others have too 15:21:43 #agreed 704728 - tentatively agree to keep on list awaiting additional feedback from reporter. If conditions hold, likely not a blocker since yum upgrades are not the official upgrade mechanism 15:21:47 #agreed 704729 - tentatively agree to keep on list awaiting additional feedback from reporter. If conditions hold, likely not a blocker since yum upgrades are not the official upgrade mechanism 15:21:51 yay for sequential bug #'s 15:22:04 adamw: wonder if it makes a differnce if your F14 system is updated before doing the F15 upgrade? 15:22:13 wasn't there a time where updates weren't being pushed to updates-testing? I remember hitting that missing js build issue on friday 15:22:32 I saw something similar when I did some yum upgrades a while back. I think some old applets were pinning old packages so that the transaction ended up with both new and old stuff. 15:22:40 or am I remembering wrong? 15:23:02 jlaska: possibly, and it could be to do with the repos selected too, but still 15:23:14 my f14 system that i upgraded was fully updated 15:23:16 yup, let's stay tuned 15:23:23 tflink: I don't know :( 15:23:24 sorry I'm late 15:23:32 j_dulaney: hello 15:23:40 Just got off work 15:23:41 pbrobinson: heh, just out of time :D 15:23:42 speak of the devil ... welcome pbrobinson! 15:23:51 * pbrobinson waves 15:23:58 pbrobinson: we just decided to ask you for more information on those yum upgrade bugs, with the unspoken assumption you've been at the crack pipe again 15:24:02 * j_dulaney wonders what the topic is 15:24:15 * j_dulaney now knows 15:24:21 adamw: you know me too well ;-) 15:24:24 j_dulaney: reviewing proposed blockers 15:24:28 Note that gnome-desktop3 and gnome desktop are different and I think this makes it possible for gnome-desktop to be kept if something requires it even though its obsoleted. 15:24:31 pbrobinson: could you attach the full yum output to one of the bugs? you should be able to get it from yum history... 15:24:44 brunowolff: there's an updated gnome-desktop in f15 repos, as well as gnome-desktop3 . 15:25:00 adamw: yes. I think I have at least one of them logged 15:25:22 adamw: btw, that bug we discussed is indeed fixed for me 15:26:06 pbrobinson: that's really all we decided so far ... anything else you wanted to raise for those bugs? 15:26:08 brunowolff: the error message talks about gnome-desktop-2.32.0-2.fc14.i686 , but f15 has 2.32.0-7.fc15 15:26:29 odd 15:26:36 indeed 15:26:57 I thought I had some logs with me, it appears it was something else. Will need to grab them when I get home in a couple of hours 15:27:16 pbrobinson: excellent, thank you. We'll stay tuned to the bugs 15:27:34 if nothing else ... let's knock these NTH bugs off the list ... 15:27:35 thanks peter 15:27:55 pbrobinson: always nice to have a special guest visitor :) 15:27:58 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=704188 15:28:01 #info TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable 15:28:11 btw while I have everyone here, I spoke with dgilmore about cutting the SoaS release just after day 0 in the hope we can get a NM patch that makes wifi vaguely work. He said he had no issues with it but I now have to try and chase Dan to review my failing python patch 15:28:51 By definition, I think this constitutes a NTH bug ... but I'm not expecting any anaconda updates (or RC4) at this time, so it's unlikely this will be fixed in F15 (easy to document workaround) 15:28:54 jlaska: I would like to visit more often but work just seems to constantly blow chunks in terms of time spare at the moment! 15:28:56 pbrobinson: cool 15:29:04 pbrobinson: what's up with Python? 15:29:06 jlaska: areed 15:29:17 pbrobinson: no worries ... thanks for the heads up on staggering the SoaS release 15:29:50 proposed #agreed 704188 - AcceptedNTH - if anaconda is respun for F15, this fix will be included 15:29:53 ack/nak/patch? 15:29:58 adamw already ack'd 15:30:04 +1 15:30:05 ack 15:30:12 +1 15:30:18 j_dulaney: not a problem with python. Its a problem with the coder as I don't know python (its been on my todo list to learn). I'm attempting to convert the Sugar NetworkManager code to the 0.9 API and I'm failing! Any help would be appreciated 15:30:46 +1 15:30:48 #agreed 704188 - AcceptedNTH - if anaconda is respun for F15, this fix will be included 15:30:55 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=704020 15:30:59 #info libpanel_applet changed ABI; not all applets ported 15:31:26 already in VERIFIED, and I wonder if this is already in RC3 15:31:27 * jlaska checks 15:31:29 jlaska and i are both -1 nth on this after thinking about it a bit 15:31:48 oh right, catching up on my comment here :) 15:32:09 adamw: the thinking is that this is a perfectly suitable day-0 update, and isn't required on media? 15:32:16 yeah 15:32:24 right on 15:32:37 Does it block upgrades from F14? 15:32:57 proposed #agreed 704020 - RejectedNTH - Suitable as a day-0 update to 'updates' repo, does not inhibit anaconda-based upgrades 15:33:07 Ok 15:33:12 +1 for that 15:33:15 ack 15:33:21 +1 15:33:33 #agreed 704020 - RejectedNTH - Suitable as a day-0 update to 'updates' repo, does not inhibit anaconda-based upgrades 15:33:46 last one ... 15:33:47 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=703944 15:33:52 #info pfstools-octave has broken dependencies. 15:34:11 comment#3 has the goods 15:34:22 -1 15:34:26 -1 NTH 15:34:29 A good bug report, thanks to Orion for filing ... but this seems like the previous ... a perfectly good day-0 update that doesn't require media 15:34:35 * jlaska works up the #agreed line 15:34:37 i think dep issues are pretty simple: if they're on the media they should be blocker, if they're not on the media they shouldn't be anything 15:34:37 -1 NTH 15:34:49 -1 NTH 15:34:53 -1 nth 15:35:00 #agreed 703944 - RejectedNTH - Suitable as a day-0 update to 'updates' repo, does not inhibit anaconda-based upgrades and isn't referenced in comps 15:35:07 okay thanks all for the mini-review 15:35:13 we're in good shape so far 15:35:15 * jlaska knocks wood 15:35:34 andw we'll continue to monitor pbrobinson's issues ... and send out drones should things look bad 15:35:44 Mmm, drones 15:35:48 we need to finish off the desktop tests too 15:35:53 The Borg kind, or the SGU kind? 15:35:58 if anyone wants to help out with the remaining 'desktop' and 'fallback' tests that'd be great 15:36:09 I'll get fallback 15:36:16 #info Desktop validation testing still needed - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test 15:36:20 j_dulaney: thank you 15:36:22 also, for both install and desktop tests, multiple results are good! even if someone else did it already, you can add your results 15:36:30 +1 to that 15:36:39 Indeed 15:36:40 two 'passes' makes us more confident than one, and one 'pass' plus one 'fail' equals an issue we wouldn't have caught otherwise :) 15:36:41 adamw: I will finish the remaining KDE and Desktop - thanks dualney! 15:36:53 There are some obsoleted packages still in the F15 repo. It would be nice to get those cleared out before the repo is fixed. 15:37:03 +1 too! 15:37:09 adamw: btw, I'll update the bz's post-meeting (unless you already did it) 15:37:11 brunowolff: ah yeah, didn't you mail the list about that? 15:37:20 jlaska: i didn't, thanks 15:37:32 Yeah, but I didn't get a response from someone who could fix it. 15:37:42 dgilmore: ^^^ heads up 15:37:45 I also wasn't sure how to find all such packages. 15:37:48 brunowolff: we'll try and get dgilmore on it....yeah 15:38:04 though i think you're actually supposed to go through the whole package retirement process to get rid of such packages 15:38:09 #info Some obsolete packages are included in F15 repo ... brunowolff suggested removing them before release 15:38:19 obsoleted packages hanging around hence tends to happen, i remember i ran into such a one a few weeks back from a much older release 15:38:46 If nothing else, we'll move on to AutoQA ... 15:39:02 #topic AutoQA update 15:39:18 * kparal 's topic! 15:39:22 I think the proper process is that the packagers involved are supposed to ask releng to block the packages from the appropriate repos. 15:39:31 kparal what's the latest in the world of AutoQA? 15:39:42 * kparal takes the mic 15:39:47 Nothing really big this week. The whole week was spent on implementing tickets for 0.5.0 milestone. 15:39:53 EOF 15:39:55 But once that gets skipped, then I think the issue tends to get lost. 15:39:57 ok, just kidding 15:39:59 brunowolff: yeah, that's part of the retirement process, you have to do some other stuff first too. 15:40:01 kparal: hah 15:40:12 I have a few info's in here 15:40:22 #info kparal implemented package caching in AutoQA (optional, default off). When enabled, it drastically speeds up mainly depcheck runs. 15:40:39 well, subsequent runs 15:40:45 not the first one :) 15:40:51 #info jskladan introduced an algorithm to filter interesting information from depcheck log about why a particular package has broken dependencies 15:40:54 Cool, so this is mostly for folks testing depcheck ... not something we'll use in production? 15:41:20 jlaska: I'd use it for developers for now 15:41:28 gotcha 15:41:35 on productions we would have to solve issues like /tmp cleaning, etc 15:41:44 e.g. you must not clean in when test it running 15:41:49 *it 15:41:52 there goes your cache! :) 15:41:59 That would be interesting 15:42:18 bah, who needs the actual packages during a test :-D 15:42:29 tflink: yup, details! :) 15:42:35 ok, as for jskladan's algorithm, it should be in autoqa-devel now, but I still didn't have time to check it out 15:43:02 #info we started to nicely document our test cases. First piece is upgradepath. 15:43:02 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AutoQA_tests/Upgradepath 15:43:32 I always wonder whether I'm not repeating something said in the last meeting. I hope not :) 15:43:44 #info tflink worked on issue of yum getting stuck in a loop that generated huge depcheck logs. When new yum builds land in stable repos, we should be have that handled. 15:43:50 Just out of curiosity, would I be better off trying to reconstruct my resultsDB work, or would it be more constructive for me to do something else? 15:43:52 love the "Fixing the failures" section ... that seems to cover sgallagh's request for providing tips for resolving 15:44:08 j_dulaney: let's talk at fedora-qa after the meeting 15:44:14 Right 15:44:24 #info vhumpa created a pretty text template for our future test reports 15:44:24 #link http://vhumpa.fedorapeople.org/prettylog_upgradepath_example2.txt 15:44:37 go vita 15:44:43 and that's all from my list 15:44:49 *much* nicer output! 15:45:01 I may have forgotten about someone, speak up please 15:45:20 I am finishing class that will construct this for all the tests 15:46:18 Quick update on the gi-normous test logs in production ... our compression script (thank you vita) seems to be working well and keeping things under control. It runs every 2 hours and compresses logs > 100M. With current disk space, test results will be kept for 15 days 15:46:54 one of our test clients is out of action at the moment (qa06) ... I'm investigating why 15:47:01 that's acceptable. but in the long run, I'd like to aim higher :) 15:47:05 kparal: sure 15:47:13 Yay for now :-) ! 15:47:32 it looks like the F15 yum update is pending push to stable and F14 is missing 1 karma 15:47:51 tflink: well, I could certainly deploy the f14 version and supply karma based on that :) 15:47:56 the biggest offender in generating obscenely huge logs should be taken care of 15:47:56 it would be in keeping with our mascot 15:48:11 :)) 15:48:21 jlaska: the code change is pretty simple, a couple of lines I think 15:49:05 anything else we need to cover on the AutoQA front? 15:49:16 all from me 15:49:25 nothing I can think of 15:49:45 okay, thanks gang. Moving on ... 15:49:51 #topic Upcoming QA events 15:50:05 I think everyone knows this already, but for consistency sake ... 15:50:10 #link http://rbergero.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-15/f-15-quality-tasks.html 15:50:23 #info Tuesday, May 17 - Go/NoGo meeting - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Go_No_Go_Meeting 15:50:37 This is tomorrow, it will be fun, and we all hope it's good news 15:50:44 #info Tuesday, May 24 - Final (GA) release 15:50:56 that's all I've got listed 15:51:05 #info Open Discussion - 15:51:19 anything not previously discussed that needs mentioned here? 15:51:29 :) 15:52:02 soas will get a little more time for bug fixes? 15:52:02 I'm still catching up on the mailing list ... a lot of feedback over the weekend 15:52:04 I move we wrap things up 15:52:15 satellit_: probably, pbrobinson said he'd talked to dgilmore about that 15:52:21 ok 15:53:14 #info pbrobinson talking to dgilmore about shifting the SoaS release date to include some day-0 fixes 15:53:28 Okay, I'm setting the fuse for 1 minute ... 15:53:34 last call for topics ... 15:53:53 adamw satellit_: yes, I spoke about cutting the release after zero day updates hit to enable us to try and get a NM 0.9 patch in to at least give us working WiFi. 15:54:20 i think it may be better to do it by pushing sugar-only patches into the f15 repo late, but we can figure that out later 15:54:26 * jlaska holds on #endmeeting 15:54:49 alright ... I think we're done here. Let's continue discussion on the list or #fedora-qa 15:54:49 adamw: that could work as well 15:54:56 yup 15:55:02 pbrobinson: Whatup with Wifi? 15:55:14 Happy testing all, let's stay on top of our bugs and keep pushing for a successful release! 15:55:20 #endmeeting
