I could call it RAIDSUCKS and have RAIDSUCKS_0p2... 16:20:00 whats the beta critera? all raid ? 16:20:07 in log, I see Volume0_0 16:20:17 19:16:48,018 INFO program: Running... wipefs -a /dev/md/Volume0_0p2 16:20:18 19:16:48,026 ERR program: wipefs: error: /dev/md/Volume0_0p2: probing initialization failed: Device or resource busy 16:20:24 that's my log. 16:20:27 ah, both 16:20:52 and it fails on the second, ok 16:20:59 * jreznik just got confused... 16:20:59 could just be a bug in the package itself 16:20:59 nirik: it's written as all RAID but in practice, we don't block for everything 16:21:16 "The installer must be able to create and install to software, hardware or BIOS RAID-0, RAID-1 or RAID-5 partitions for anything except /boot" 16:21:18 well, it's written thus: "The installer must be able to create and install to software, hardware or BIOS RAID-0, RAID-1 or RAID-5 partitions for anything except /boot " 16:21:19 yeah 16:21:29 historically we've interpreted that 'capable' quite generously 16:21:34 pretty much 'as long as it works for someone it's okay' 16:21:39 yeah. 16:21:46 at least we have a report, someone is able to do the install... so we do not know why it does not work for adamw and if it's only adamw's issue (and how many people do want to install on intel hw raid?) 16:21:48 it would be nice to have more than 2 data points, though 16:21:53 sigh. 'able', not 'capable'. /me goes back to bed 16:21:58 I'd be ok with punting this to NTH given that it worked for another person and failing more datapoints. 16:22:15 jreznik: it's probably one of the most common forms of RAID, but i'm with nirik - NTH for now 16:22:30 ok 16:22:33 adamw: i can do a test again at work for you today if you want 16:22:42 NTH for final?? 16:22:51 jreznik: the fact it's not trying to do /dev/IMSM00_0 for jes to me suggests that maybe he did an install without wiping the entire array? did he install alongside something else? 16:23:03 akshayvyas: no, it'd be NTH for beta. 16:23:06 no, NTH for beta 16:23:10 * nirik has lag today. :) 16:23:16 dan408: yeah that'd probably be neat 16:23:19 thanks 16:23:24 ie, if a fix falls from the sky we can look at pulling it in, or... not. 16:23:29 dan408: just grab tc9 and try installing to RAID-1 (or hell, RAID-5 or whatever) 16:23:51 the working install was with TC9? 16:23:58 * jreznik is pinging Jes 16:24:07 adamw: right but software raid 16:24:12 not hardware 16:24:18 right? 16:24:19 dan408: intel firmware 16:24:21 if you have it 16:24:26 um 16:24:31 actual pure linux softraid seems okay here, i tested that 16:24:47 the hardware raid i tested was Dell SAS 6/ir 16:24:55 finding intel raid will be tough 16:25:00 no problem then 16:25:05 so is anyone against -1 blocker / +1 nth? 16:25:13 no 16:25:14 well, I'm +1 nth 16:25:24 -1 blocker 16:25:26 +1 nth 16:25:28 the only thing I can think of is to wait until wednesday to demote from blocker 16:25:30 hardware raid is tested and it works 16:25:31 If this is tied to specific hardware, don't we want to consider how common this hardware is? 16:25:54 Perhaps relative to other fakeraid hardware people might be using. 16:25:55 brunowolff: extremely uncommon 16:26:11 er, that might be overstating it 16:26:18 okay 16:26:21 if you have raid on your motherboard these days it's likely intel 16:26:21 somewhat uncommon 16:26:25 wrong 16:26:29 AFAIK, this is the most common BIOS raid right now or one of the more common ones anyways 16:26:35 but right now, we don't know how many work and how many don't. 16:26:43 all Dell servers use Dell raid 16:26:48 dan408_: most of my machines have some form of intel BIOS raid, I don't see how it's uncommon 16:26:55 dan408: sorry, i was thinking consumer hw, you might be right about server. 16:26:55 for desktops, not servers 16:26:55 so you'd have to have an intel made motherboard with raid 16:27:04 yeah 16:27:06 desktops 16:27:14 dan408: not intel made, just pretty much any consumer board for intel 16:27:16 and how many people install to hardware raid on an intel desktop? 16:27:20 mine's Asus. 16:27:22 dan408_: a mobo w/ intel chipset and SB, not just intel made 16:27:30 right 16:27:34 we have no idea, really. smolt doesn't track that. 16:27:34 that's what i just said 16:27:44 im telling you it's very uncommon 16:27:47 and it's an intel problem 16:28:01 -1 blocker +1 nth 16:28:30 dan408_: all of my recent intel machines have intel bios RAID, how is that uncommon 16:28:36 But since fakeraid is supposed to work, we might really want to know what fraction of fakeraid setups fail rather than what fraction of desktop users are affected. 16:28:42 the only one that doesn't is a 10 year old P4 box 16:28:42 guys, we're nearly at 30 mins already 16:28:44 tflink: and how often do you use it 16:28:46 sorry 16:28:49 if no-one wants to make this a blocker, let's just move on 16:29:00 are we rejecting blocker? 16:29:03 brunowolff: right, but we just don't have data for that, is the problem - not many people are set up to test it 16:29:21 ^which means it's an uncommon setup 16:29:24 brunowolff: right now we have one pass one fail, so it's 50/50 =) 16:29:57 dan408: well not necessarily, because if you're using it _in production_, you'd need two spare drives and the willingness to fiddle about disconnecting them in order to _test_ it. which is what i have to do and it drives me nuts., 16:30:15 My inclination is NTH and not blocker without a better idea of the impact on fakeraid testing. 16:30:15 if you're using it in "production" you're using a server 16:30:17 but anyway, we're just kicking the can now. 16:30:23 * tflink will try to get a test done today 16:30:25 if you're using a server you're most likely not using intel raid 16:30:27 dan408: i mean, if you're using it for your everyday usage 16:30:36 okay 16:30:37 let's move on 16:30:48 yeah, i don't see anyone voting anything but +NTH -blocker. 16:31:00 I'm wondering about doing it today but yeah 16:31:06 we can always revisit. 16:31:17 yep 16:31:19 fwiw, i know dlehman was leaning in that direction too. 16:31:52 ok, proposal! 16:32:23 proposed #agreed 876789 - RejectedBlocker - This doesn't seem to affect all intel FWRAID installs and thus, not severe enough to be a blocker. If it turns out to be more severe, please repropose 16:32:36 +1 16:32:37 ack 16:32:37 patch acceptednth 16:32:40 ack 16:32:40 ack 16:32:41 ack 16:32:50 patch, see adamw 16:32:50 adamw: it's already accepted NTH 16:32:54 oh, it is? 16:33:00 i don't see that. 16:33:16 damn it, I'm looking at the wrong bug somehow 16:33:19 tflink: on, it isn't 16:33:21 heh. 16:33:28 s/on/no :) 16:34:12 * dan408_ throws a chair at adamw 16:34:23 proposed #agreed 876789 - RejectedBlocker, AcceptedNTH - This doesn't seem to affect all intel FWRAID installs and thus, not severe enough to be a blocker. If it turns out to be more severe, please repropose as a blocker. Accepted as NTH because it can't be fixed with an update and is currently affecting 50% of intel FWRAID installs. 16:34:31 * adamw catches chair, throws it back 16:34:36 ack 16:34:38 ack 16:34:42 heh, '50%' :) 16:34:54 1 of 2 is 50% 16:35:01 technically true! 16:35:13 proposed #agreed 876789 - RejectedBlocker, AcceptedNTH - This doesn't seem to affect all intel FWRAID installs and thus, not severe enough to be a blocker. If it turns out to be more severe, please repropose as a blocker. Accepted as NTH because it can't be fixed with an update and is currently affecting 50% of reported intel FWRAID installs. 16:35:16 ack 16:35:20 all two intel hw raid users :) 16:35:24 #agreed 876789 - RejectedBlocker, AcceptedNTH - This doesn't seem to affect all intel FWRAID installs and thus, not severe enough to be a blocker.

17:09:43 .bug 869998 17:09:45 dan408_: Bug 869998 systemd-logind integration broke "Suspend when closing lid" policy - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=869998 17:10:10 please advise. im going to add this to blocker or NTH unless someone tells me otherwise 17:10:16 okay? that doesn't exactly seem urgent. 17:10:19 why the hell would it be a blocker? 17:10:22 I don't think this qualifies as NTH or blocker 17:10:22 it is 17:10:26 it's about suspending a laptop with external monitor attached. 17:10:29 it can be fixed with an update 17:10:33 and yeah. 17:10:39 final NTH? 17:10:47 we don't block beta for suspend _not working_, never mind desktop niceties. =) 17:10:54 I'd probably be -1 NTH on this for final, too 17:11:07 well i think there's a bigger issue than "Desktop niceties" 17:11:10 but okay 17:11:13 that'd be the appropriate place to propose it though, yeah. 17:11:26 seems like something that'll just get fixed normally, though. 17:11:45 what is the bug for final nth? 17:11:48 dan408_: if it turns out to be more severe, that's fine. we're not saying that there is no way this could ever block release or get pulled in past freeze 17:11:54 F18-accepted 17:11:57 k 17:12:04 752665 17:12:11 done 17:12:12 thanks 17:12:39 oy, i just saw the final blocker list 17:12:53 * tflink is scared - checks to see if he has enough PTO to disappear for the rest of F18 17:13:14 anyhow, beta status 17:13:35 so outside of fedup we look fairly solid 17:13:45 yep, fedup scares me... 17:13:47 bcl says wwoods is 'alive and kicking' but apparently not responding to irc pings... 17:14:24 at some point, we need to figure out what we're willing to tolerate for beta 17:14:34 adamw, tflink: could you please keep pinging him overnight (our overnight) 17:14:42 we'll try 17:14:57 tflink: but are upgrades what we can tolerate or y*u*m? 17:15:07 tflink: well i mean i thought we were quantifying that via the blocker list. 17:15:10 * nirik suspects he will answer when he can... ping -f can be anoying. 17:15:14 so far as i'm concerned we tolerate anything that's not on the blocker list. 17:15:33 are no logs from upgrade a blocker? 17:15:48 what about no output from the upgrade process during upgrade? 17:15:49 nirik: trying to roll a release that's a month and a half late without much response from the maintainer of the thing which is delaying it is also annoying :) 17:16:00 sure. 17:16:02 nirik: yep but at least status would be great, like... 17:16:13 * tflink is a bit fuzzy on what the minimum functionality is 17:16:17 tflink: I'd say no, as long as it works. ;) 17:16:20 it's not well defined, really. 17:16:27 i'd say logs not a problem, output maybe 17:16:28 nirik: define works 17:16:30 :-D 17:16:44 at least just a screen saying U CAN HAZ UPGRADE JUST WAIT would be nice. 17:17:04 tflink: shall I quote the beta critera line? ;) But sure... 17:17:05 I'm going to go through the current fixes today and see where we are 17:17:06 #info current fedup status not terribly clear, minimum acceptable functionality has not yet been solidly defined 17:17:46 tflink: thanks 17:17:52 at the very least, we're still missing builds for fedup-dracut and lorax 17:18:03 that's the main concern... 17:18:17 the last I heard, will was working on altering lorax such that plymouth showed the correct theme 17:18:18 #info at the very least, we're still missing builds for fedup-dracut and lorax 17:18:24 but that was sometime friday afternoon 17:18:41 * jreznik is not sure it makes sense to waste time with theming... at least in the current state 17:18:45 and I don't pretend to know about everything he's working on :) 17:18:51 so, lorax, libxml2 and fedup-dracut possibly... 17:18:58 then we might be able to make a rc1. whee. 17:19:00 there was some systemd in there, too according to one of the bug reports 17:19:02 jreznik: i think 'theme' is closely related to 'status display' when it comes to plymouth. 17:19:10 adamw: ok 17:19:38 eh, plymouth/systemd/something seems to be stomping on the status output either way 17:19:45 tflink: bz? 17:20:17 jreznik: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873144 17:20:54 thx 17:21:44 nirik: for libxml2 - could be an option for relengs to use DV's patch (no CRC/len) check? 17:22:07 tflink: for things like this that are 'define minimum acceptable functionality' things we should probably put them on the blocker list 17:22:16 jreznik: that was a patch to createrepo? or ? /me looks 17:22:45 adamw: ok, I'll propose the ones I know of to get the conversation started 17:22:45 nirik: libxml2 17:23:07 and file a new one for EFI if that doesn't work for me :-/ 17:23:10 jreznik: composes are done in a mock chroot. So, we would need to patch and push libxml2 to stable? 17:23:39 nirik: it's at least dirty and ugly workaround... 17:23:58 the footer is not generated properly 17:24:30 okay, so i think we have a broad picture of where we are 17:25:14 any other pressing f18 business before we move on? 17:25:23 making it work? 17:25:25 jreznik: sure, if nothing else we could do that if libxml2 maintainer is ok with dropping that for not until it can get fixed. 17:25:32 tflink: out of scope of the qa meeting I fear :) 17:25:40 nirik: DV is ok with that 17:26:01 adamw: awww, I was hoping someone had a magic wand or a really big stick to beat F18 into submission :-D 17:26:04 jreznik: ok then... can you have him push a libxml2 update for f18 for that? and we can upkarma it and pass it to stable. 17:26:06 #info 877567 under intensive investigation, it will be possible to 'fix' it one way or the other 17:26:19 #action tflink to continue to evaluate fedup status and propose significant bugs for blocker status 17:26:43 #info RC is now essentially blocked on fedup 17:26:50 moving on! 17:26:59 #topic Open floor 17:27:04 anyone have anything for open floor? 17:27:13 nirik: he's sleeping now - so one option is I use my provenpackager foo :) 17:27:28 jreznik: sure, if you like/can. ;) 17:27:28 adamw: I have one topic for open floor (or two) 17:27:40 jreznik: gimme a summary line? 17:28:07 adamw: I was asked if we are using ON_DEV in Fedora as the plan is to get rid of this bz status 17:28:19 #topic Open floor - ON_DEV status in Fedora 17:28:23 i believe the answer is 'no'. 17:28:37 looking on (seems to be oudated) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/BugStatusWorkFlow#ON_DEV it's optional now 17:28:39 yeah, I don't think I've seen it used much 17:28:59 Is the createrepo issue with the Fedora 18 release composes the same as the libxml2 problem? 17:29:03 jreznik: that's not really outdated. at least insofar as no-one has proposed any kind of official workflow change that is not reflected in it. 17:29:11 in practice, everyone uses their own damn workflow anyway. 17:29:27 jwb: kernel team doesn't use ON_DEV does it? 17:29:28 brunowolff: yes 17:30:06 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?list_id=842356&classification=Fedora&query_format=advanced&bug_status=ON_DEV&product=Fedora indicates that, recently, tfujiwara and dan are the only ones using it. 17:30:10 adamw: so, sorry not outdated but with nearly no triaging done... (as that offical triage) 17:30:25 dan408: would you be terribly sad to see ON_DEV die? 17:30:49 adamw: the main idea behind is that nearly all other products got rid of it and it's confusing state now (out of workflow) 17:31:22 jreznik: i've never really seen it used as a matter of course in fedora. i'd just check in with Dan and fujiwara if they're okay with losing it and if they're okay with it, it's fine, i think. 17:32:06 #info ON_DEV very rarely used, apparently only by dan408 and tfujiwar lately. 17:32:22 adamw: ok, I can ask them - as we define it as optional and for package review it was misused (it's not defined in package review process) 17:32:22 propose #agreed QA as a group has no objection to dropping ON_DEV status 17:32:25 that ok with everyone? 17:32:28 ack 17:33:01 * jreznik is not QA but does not think it's really blocking thing for us (from qa, eng pov) 17:33:22 looks like we lost everyone else ) 17:33:31 * jreznik is still here 17:33:31 eh, good enough for government work. 17:33:34 #agreed QA as a group has no objection to dropping ON_DEV status 17:33:40 thanks 17:33:49 I'll ask dan408_ and tfujiwar 17:33:56 next topic? 17:34:02 you should have asked for any objections instead of acks :) 17:34:32 adamw: next one - go/no-go - according to current status and thanksgiving day in the us on Thursday... not sure right now 17:34:46 we already somehow discussed it last week... 17:35:11 * nirik is fine with most anytime. 17:35:36 note that there will be a lists.fedoraproject.org outage early on the 22nd. 17:35:40 Thursday means one more day if fedup moves but also it does not make sense to shoot US people to knee... 17:36:00 #topic Open floor - go/no-go date 17:36:16 new years eve! 17:36:18 personally i don't care about thursday as we got thanksgiving out of the way last month :) 17:36:27 dan408: heh, sounds like the most realistic proposal 17:36:36 i was 100% serious too 17:36:45 ok 75% 17:36:58 * tflink doesn't much care, personally 17:36:59 given the status of fedup i think we might have trouble making it by wed, but that's just an educated guess 17:37:07 just feels like the wed/thu distinction could actually matter this week 17:37:08 that wouldn't surprise me 17:37:09 I' 17:37:21 I'd be nervous about taking the lorax build w/o more testing 17:37:23 can we please unfreeze beta? 17:37:54 adamw: ok, then Thursday if tflink and nirik will be around... /me really does not know how thanksgiving day looks like :) 17:38:10 dan408: that's not happening. 17:38:18 I'd rather not be around since thursday and friday are US holidays 17:38:26 i'll be around thu 17:38:37 we really only need one person from qa for go/no-go itself as the decision is programmatic 17:39:00 k 17:39:36 ill be happy to type no go on thursday for you adamw 17:39:42 the main thing is - if we would be able to find some devs - mostly anaconda ones... but at least I can ask Brno Anaconda guys to be around 17:40:27 oh 17:40:31 btw i missed the last topic 17:40:36 I object to getting rid of on_dev 17:40:48 #info Thursday is thanksgiving in the U.S., but we may need the extra day (wed vs. thu) to have a chance at being ready 17:40:54 rename it to pending_upstream or something 17:40:55 dan408: ok, talk with jreznik about it 17:40:58 yep 17:41:02 just stating it publically 17:41:06 fair enough 17:41:13 #info dan408 is against dropping ON_DEV 17:41:29 I don't know if it matters, but friday is also a holiday for most of the US 17:41:48 well, not a holiday but generally grouped in with thanksgiving 17:41:49 thank you adamw 17:43:00 there is a UPSTREAM already. 17:45:35 anything else about this topic? 17:45:52 well, I'll schedule it to Thursday as we really need that day and if adamw is going to be around, we need nirik to push the button and he seems to be at least available to do this... 17:45:55 i think not, leave it to jreznik to schedule 17:46:00 ok thanks 17:46:03 any more topics?> 17:46:07 #topic Open floor 17:46:39 nirik: that is for closed bugs;. 17:46:54 dan408_: right. 17:47:13 and used for something completely different than ON_DEV 17:47:16 so you want something for 'upstream is working on this, and we will pull it/fix it when they are done, so it's in progress' ? 17:47:45 yes please 17:48:21 * nirik just uses ASSIGNED 17:48:56 or keyword is (probably) cheap... 17:48:57 .bug 868472 17:49:00 dan408_: Bug 868472 [abrt] mate-file-manager-1.4.0-12.fc18: handle_error: Process /usr/bin/caja was killed by signal 5 (SIGTRAP) - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868472 17:49:03 that wasn't really what ON_DEV was for anyway, but hey. 17:49:07 ON_DEV was usefull for this bug 17:49:17 and when you are sorting through 68 bugs in your my bugs 17:49:36 using ON_DEV is abusing of initial intention of this status and nobody would understand it at all... 17:49:52 on_dev provided a good distinction between stuff i need to work on and stuff that i can't do anything about right now 17:52:55 can we end this now? :) 17:53:04 please 17:53:07 * dan408_ is off to work 17:53:12 well, I think we agreed with dan408_ in PM that he's ok with getting rid of ON_DEV, keyword seems to be a way how to track it for him... 17:53:26 thanks jreznik 17:53:55 dan408_: thanks too! 17:53:55 ok, setting fuse for X minutes 17:54:30 adamw: do you need a ticket for ON_DEV or meeting agreement is ok for you? 17:54:45 and it also means action item to fix the workflow page 17:54:59 jreznik: can you just do an ML post? 17:55:32 let's track it with a ticket 17:55:41 jreznik can do it ;) 17:55:58 i will switch all my bugs from on_Dev to assigned 17:56:43 bbl 17:57:00 #endmeeting
