I said it. 16:20:55 kparal: alright, we can probably consider it and the USB matrix change together if I draft that 16:21:07 Kohane: oh sorry, I thought you were replying to the 'any topics' question, not the common bugs comment :) 16:21:16 Kohane: the common bugs page is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F25_bugs 16:21:30 adamw: I think we can easily do it separately, if you prefer. it should not affect each other much I think 16:21:45 the naming format is always like that, so you can find Common_F24_bugs , Common_F23_bugs , etc 16:21:58 kparal: well, i just meant they're kinda in the same area and they'll probably hit the list together 16:22:11 ok 16:22:38 alrighty, so let's dive in 16:22:45 adamw, I saw the design ticket https://pagure.io/design/issue/483, just wondering the mockups should be bit more explanatory 16:22:59 a2batic: we'll cover that 16:23:08 #topic Fedora 26 initial plans 16:23:28 so! this is kinda a big general topic, just wanted to give us a place to start thinking about what we'll be prioritizing in the F26 cycle 16:24:02 we do have the F25 Retrospective page up: there'll be an email announcement soon, but you can start filling in thoughts on the F25 cycle at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_25_QA_Retrospective now if you like 16:24:07 #info F25 Retrospective page is up at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_25_QA_Retrospective 16:24:52 the intent of the retrospective page is to gather people's thoughts on what was good and bad about QA work in the previous cycle and use it to plan improvements for the next cycle, so please do leave your thoughts both good and bad there, we welcome ideas for improvement :) 16:25:59 #info the Fedora 26 Change set page can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/26/ChangeSet - it is not yet complete, but a good guide to significant changes coming up we should be thinking about 16:26:33 so, looking at the change set page it looks like we have some early 'factory 2.0' stuff coming down the pipe: "Modular Compose" and "Module Build Service" 16:27:12 "Blivet-GUI in Anaconda" also looks rather important, and "Python 3.6" and "DNF 2.0" and "Retire Synaptics Driver" 16:27:34 * sumantrom looks forward for running test day :) 16:27:37 more code paths in anaconda, yay 16:27:52 I thought Synaptics was already retired.... 16:28:05 Kohane: it's already not the default, but it hasn't been *retired* yet 16:28:18 kparal: yeah, and a new python version and new DNF version at the same time 16:28:22 i'm sure that won't cause any problems or anything 16:28:33 never did 16:28:42 DNF 2.0 is in Rawhide already and anaconda is at least kinda working; I haven't checked the latest openQA results in detail yet though 16:28:46 Oh! Thanks adamw 16:28:58 sumantrom: looks like we're going to need some test days :) 16:29:31 * sumantrom yeeehh! I stand at the ready 16:29:50 hi everybody 16:30:17 hi mpduty! 16:30:28 hi sumantrom 16:30:48 hi mpduty 16:31:02 hi adamw 16:31:16 so sumantrom is becoming our regular Test Day Person; anyone else want to help him out with that this cycle? 16:31:44 I'd be glad to help sumantrom! 16:31:59 yess! :) 16:32:09 I have just started kernel testing, and I have a few things to ask, if that is possible now? 16:32:23 alrighty, we can co-ordinate that by mail after the meeting i guess 16:32:30 mpduty: can you hold it for Open Floor at the end of the meeting? 16:32:36 i'll make sure there's some time. 16:32:43 oh sure 16:32:47 thanks :) 16:33:10 so, let me see 16:33:56 we have some early 'factory 2.0' stuff coming in this cycle but i think in terms of release blocking stuff, it's still going to be more or less a traditional release, on the usual release cycle with a co-ordinated release of everything (except Atomic) and the usual release-blocking media 16:34:29 so we have all the normal stuff to arrange in the normal ways: test days for critical changes, release validation, blocker review and so on is gonna happen as normal 16:34:59 we have several ongoing projects to work on too, i guess 16:35:24 kparal: tflink: what's planned for taskotron-land this release cycle? 16:35:45 #info while some early F26 changes are landing, F26 cycle will mostly be a traditional one with usual release validation, blocker review, test day stuff 16:35:54 adamw, a way for me to test updated isos? 16:36:02 #info there are several significant Changes already which we will need to make sure are covered in Test Day and other testing 16:36:11 Southern_Gentlem: when you say 'a way'? 16:36:23 I haven't been too involved in taskotron recently, so I can't say exactly 16:36:24 do you mean, like, validation pages? or something else? 16:36:33 kparal: sorry, i need to update my standard ping list :) 16:36:37 you said something about testing in the past like openqa or something 16:36:48 Southern_Gentlem: yeah, it's languishing in my todo list :( 16:37:42 Southern_Gentlem: https://www.happyassassin.net/temp/todo.png 16:37:49 and that's just the ones I have written down! le sigh 16:38:18 * adamw should maybe probably start working on the ones from february 16:38:42 oh, yours isn't even on that todo list. it's on another list. in other news, adamw may want to take some organizational skills classes 16:39:20 lol 16:39:36 well thats why i keep bringing it up so it makes the todo 16:39:39 Southern_Gentlem: so yeah, it'd be great to do that, but as the respins still aren't really super-official things that Fedora officially Cares A Lot about it's hard for me to bump it up and do it ahead of other stuff 16:39:58 i understand ] 16:40:13 it would probably be an interesting entry point to openQA stuff if someone wanted to take it as a task, i could give some pointers maybe... 16:41:04 tflink: so, uh, taskotron? 16:41:44 adamw: I can take it as task 16:42:30 dist-git tasks mostly 16:42:37 Kohane: that'd be great, i'll create a task in phabricator for it then so we can track 16:42:44 for packages, docker images and modules 16:42:53 Excellent! 16:46:30 Southern_Gentlem: kohane: I made https://phab.qadevel.cloud.fedoraproject.org/T870 for the openQA respin idea 16:47:03 #info Main focus for Taskotron in F26 cycle is dist-git tasks (that is, support for running tests/tasks provided by package maintainers in dist-git) 16:47:35 we do have the 'release validation NG' project as well, in terms of tooling work 16:47:44 as well as ongoing work on blockerbugs etc. 16:48:03 for anyone who missed it, the design ticket for the 'release validation NG' project moved to Pagure: https://pagure.io/design/issue/483 16:48:10 #info 'release validation NG' ticket is now in Pagure: https://pagure.io/design/issue/483 16:49:30 * a2batic nods 16:50:20 * sumantrom bookmarks the link to revisit after the meeeting 16:50:49 we're still working through the design, but we could probably start putting together some code too 16:50:54 anyone seen handsome_pirate yet? 16:50:54 Yes, me too 16:51:01 No... 16:51:17 welp, okay. 16:51:20 I didn't see handsome_pirate in a long while 16:52:05 my very initial thought on this is we could have two components: a system which basically exists to accept manual test results, validate them against some configurable requirements, and submit them to resultsdb 16:52:27 and then the actual user-visible webapp, which would just accept user input and pass it on the validator/submitter component 16:52:59 that would give us some flexibility for transition stuff like accepting input from the 'relval' cli and maybe for sending results to both the wiki and resultsdb for a while if necessary 16:53:05 and it'd help split the work up, i guess 16:53:43 if we decide on a basic format for the messaging between the two, then people can work on either end without being blocked on the other. but we don't need to get into too much detail here 16:54:01 * satellit sorry I am late 16:54:27 can folks interested in the release validation NG project please sign up for the 'qa-devel' mailing list if you're not already on it? 16:54:37 we should probably start discussions there before setting up infrastructure and so on 16:55:06 #info 'release validation NG' project is in early planning stages, please sign up for qa-devel mailing list if you're interested and not already signed up, as we'll discuss it there 16:55:15 * a2batic subscribing 16:55:18 great 16:55:35 *me suscribed 16:55:37 so, because I promised it earlier: 16:55:40 #topic Open floor 16:55:55 mpduty: sorry to make you wait :) you had a question? 16:56:01 oh yes 16:56:06 mediawriter not updating f25 labs 16:56:19 my F24 installation fails to run kernel test with stress 16:56:24 stops midway 16:56:37 these are the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelTestingInitiative tests? 16:57:27 satellit: i'd report that to https://github.com/MartinBriza/MediaWriter . it's probably not technically the right place, but martin should pick it up and redirect it 16:57:36 yes 16:57:41 does anyone know much about the kernel testing initiative stuff? 16:57:45 i usually redirect folks to #fedora-kernel for it 16:58:08 fine 16:58:21 if anyone here knows then that's great, but otherwise you'd be best asking there :) 16:58:24 i just don't know much about those tests 16:58:53 adamw: me neither 16:59:10 oh thats just fine, I shall be asking in #fedora-kernel 16:59:17 Read about them and that's all my knowledge 16:59:18 didn 16:59:39 didn't know actually there was a channel that way :) 16:59:41 anything else for open floor, folks? 17:00:18 Mmm... not from my side 17:00:47 not from my side either 17:00:55 btw, if anyone is looking for coding-ish tasks to work on aside from getting involved with release validation NG, there's lots of work available for taskotron and openQA and stuff :) https://phab.qadevel.cloud.fedoraproject.org/ is the primary place where we track tooling work and issues, so please check there, look at the tasks and if you see something interesting, someone will certainly be able to help you get started with it 17:01:23 https://phab.qadevel.cloud.fedoraproject.org/maniphest/query/open/ is a list of all open tasks for all projects 17:01:47 looks interesting 17:01:53 note that the url for phab will likely be changing soon 17:02:02 thanks for the heads-up 17:02:03 but redirects should take you to the correct place 17:02:26 #info https://phab.qadevel.cloud.fedoraproject.org/maniphest/query/open/ is a list of most open tasks for 'coding-ish' QA work, for folks who are interested 17:02:29 and the stupid issues of the 500 on login and https redirects should be resolved at the same time 17:03:31 the person who filed the ticket is always a good person to ask for help in getting started with it, besides that you can always poke me or garretraziel for openQA stuff, and tflink or mkrizek or jskladan for taskotron/resultsdb stuff (i think that's right) 17:03:54 pretty much, yeah 17:04:15 we will have all the usual non-coding-y tasks for people to do, like test days and release validation, so hang tight for those :) 17:04:45 looks like that's about it... 17:05:25 thanks for coming, everyone! 17:05:36 #endmeeting
