This one is likely going to be short :) And a bust :) 15:18:14 #topic Release criteria updates 15:19:07 Would be great if we had adamw here 15:19:45 Anybody wants to sum up the Release Criteria updates here? 15:22:07 Looking 15:22:49 I see that F16 criteria pages have been created http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_16_Alpha_Release_Criteria 15:22:56 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_16_Beta_Release_Criteria 15:23:04 Indeed 15:23:05 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_16_Final_Release_Criteria 15:23:20 Have they been updated with the new criteria? 15:23:26 C'est la question 15:23:59 to quote adamw: two more criteria agreed in the October 2010 discussion that we failed to put in 15:24:04 in the final 15:24:26 http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-May/099787.html 15:24:34 alpha: add logger criterion recently discussed on list 15:25:03 And the beta criteria remain unchanged 15:25:47 Final, no Other menu has been removed 15:26:16 Also: No application may unintentionally appear twice in the menus. In particular, items under System must not appear under Applications in the Final 15:26:16 I should say, the criteria that there be no 'Other' menu. 15:27:00 Although I am not sure whether these are not the ones already changed in F15. Any idea about those talked about " in October"? 15:27:40 Can't remember, but I think they've been propogated 15:27:49 yo 15:28:02 oh sorry folks i didn't realize someone was running a meeting! my bad 15:28:06 Adamw saves us from the insanity 15:28:06 Hey adam! 15:28:13 Wanna take over? :) 15:28:19 no, carry on 15:28:32 Make it a little less of an catastrophe? :) 15:28:38 hey, looks fine to me 15:28:49 i think you summed up the updates fine 15:29:05 okay, do you have any notes on the release criteria revisions? 15:29:08 Adamw: these release criteria changes that happened in October, have they been propogated to F16? 15:29:12 there'll probably be more coming, we should go back over the suggestions from the desktop team 15:29:33 yes, that's where i put them - i didn't change the f15 criteria, there's no point since f15 is done 15:29:41 Indeed 15:30:48 #info a new criterion: A spin-kickstarts package which contains the exact kickstart files used to build the release must be present in the release repository. The included kickstarts must define the correct set of release repositories 15:31:23 #info a new final criterion: A fedora-release package and a generic-release package appropriately versioned and containing the correct names, information and repository configuration for a final Fedora release (as opposed to a pre-release) must be present in the release repository 15:31:38 one thing with all these new criteria is to make sure we have validation tests that cover them: we have https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/151 for that 15:32:31 #action make sure we have tests for the new criteria: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/151 15:32:32 I've a quick proposal: Have a criterion that forbids names that are too similar. 15:32:55 names, as in...menu entry names? 15:33:03 adamw: Indeed 15:33:15 i definitely like the idea of trying to squelch annoyingly-similar names 15:33:37 For instance, as has been recently pointed out, Software Update and Software Updates 15:33:45 personally i think the desktop criteria kinda go too far as is, but they came in from the desktop team so i kept them... 15:33:49 yeah, and there's Terminal / Terminal 15:33:59 and some of the system-config-* apps have the same name as GNOME control panel applets 15:34:05 * nirik is still sad Xfce named their terminal Terminal. ;( 15:34:07 (Date & Time is one I think) 15:34:12 Indeed 15:34:16 also KDE system monitor has the same name 15:34:26 Although I doubt we can do anything about that 15:34:30 personally i'm not sure if the release criteria is the right place for it, but we could ask desktop team what they think 15:34:54 and maybe try and get the desktops to work together and compromise a bit (as I guess it'll be hard to choose who 'wins' the generic name for things) 15:34:57 #action Ask desktop team about changing similar menu names 15:35:04 adamw: At least we should make sure that this doesnt happen in the fresh Desktop installation 15:35:23 Indeed. 15:35:33 yeah i'd definitely like to avoid it 15:35:35 There are plenty of instances within just Gnome 15:35:42 Live image one... hard to do anything about custom DVD installs 15:36:14 that might be a good standard to try and meet, yeah 15:36:29 +1 for such 15:36:31 i'll take an action item to talk to the desktop teams about it if you like? or anyone else can 15:37:03 #action adamw to talk to desktop teams about too-similar menu names 15:37:30 adamw: I am little less around here nowadays but if you want, I can do that too 15:37:47 i'll chat to you about it after the meeting maybe 15:37:52 Okay 15:38:00 (quickly, i know it's close to leaving time :>) 15:38:16 adamw: I am not even working today :) 15:38:23 "i'm not even supposed to BE here today!" 15:38:52 i do have one topic if we're done with the criteria, btw 15:38:59 okay, anything else on the topic? 15:38:59 Right 15:39:26 Nothing 15:39:30 Next one should be "Last call for F-15 QA retrospective input", but we can put yours in there right now 15:39:39 no, that's fine, i'll go at the end 15:39:55 Okay 15:40:01 #topic Last call for F-15 QA retrospective input 15:40:20 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_15_QA_Retrospective 15:40:40 I'm assuming this means that if we haven't dropped said input soon, it will be ignored 15:40:49 There is where we put notes on all that we think went well and wrong around the F15 cycle 15:41:32 j_dulaney: pretty much - jlaska usually takes the input, summarizes it, and turns it into trac tickets, and i guess this means he's planning to do that soon 15:41:46 So by the topic name :-) I guess now is the time for anybody to sugest some additions 15:42:03 * j_dulaney has nothing new 15:42:51 well, also it's just a heads-up to get anything in in the next few days, doesn't have to happen during the meeting :) 15:42:59 i think i have all my stuff in there already. 15:43:15 * vhumpa1 things it looks pretty solid by now 15:43:22 thinks^^ 15:43:49 * vhumpa1 sticks his head in the sand :-) 15:44:02 See any oil? 15:44:18 I wish :-) 15:44:21 hehe 15:44:48 Right, looks like we can move on 15:44:54 what's the topic for this meeting? its my first fedora-meeting 15:45:02 #topic AutoQA updates 15:45:09 mathezula: Fedora QA 15:45:23 pertaining to packages only or support practices? 15:45:34 mathezula: we cover various topics 15:45:45 this bit is a little update from the autoqa team about what they've been working on lately 15:45:51 mathezula: pretty much anything around Fedora life cycle 15:46:06 Bad boy Kamil for not being here :-) 15:46:08 usually kamil paral does it, but i think he's away today...so i guess vhumpa will? 15:46:13 but I think i can do some 15:46:24 i have some concerns about operator behavior in the main fedora support channel on this network. is this covered? (p.s. are you adam williamson? :D :D) 15:47:33 mathezula: yes, that's me, and no, we don't supervise #fedora 15:47:47 mathezula: that would probably be something to bring up with the Board, the supervision of #fedora is a bit...unclear 15:47:50 #info We have still been working on the revised logs and also merged depcheck "pretty" by jskladan into pretty branch. 15:48:03 Noice 15:48:06 yay 15:48:20 alrighty. im trying to figure out how that all works. bear with me while i ooze newbiness. 15:48:21 * j_dulaney likes the html pretties 15:48:29 #info basically we have been finishing up stuff that we have been working on for three weeks now 15:48:37 mathezula It's all good 15:48:38 also adamw i love your work. you're a role model in the community. 15:49:10 vhumpa1: Do you reckon a new release may be forthcoming? 15:49:14 #info pretty log has been changed to html and we have added a possibility for highlighting which will be used especially from depcheck 15:49:26 How's the bodhi spam situation? 15:49:38 j_dulaney: I think we are up to 0.5.0 this week 15:49:45 Noice 15:49:53 I am not sure on the spam reduction though 15:50:09 Tim has been working on that quite separately 15:50:21 okay 15:50:28 * j_dulaney wonders if y'all should try to get that in 15:50:31 tell him to be more sociable :D 15:50:56 So, 0.5.0 really depends on how far that is and how the merge will end up 15:51:21 But it's just a gut feeling, that it's doing good :) 15:52:15 Noice 15:52:33 #action get back at Tim for the spam reduction updates and and a time estimate of merging that together with the logging changes in the master so we can release 15:53:14 Quite likely that kparal is well informed on this 15:53:39 * j_dulaney would suspect so; kparal knows things 15:53:46 cool, sounds like it's all moving in the right direction 15:54:06 * vhumpa1 plus 1 15:54:34 as far as I am concerned, we can move on 15:54:50 alrighty 15:54:56 #topic Open Discussion (Put your topic here) 15:55:07 Did I spell that right? 15:55:16 j_dulaney: Ah, we're here already?
