  2. Purpose of this meeting (amoloney, 17:08:41)
    1. Purpose of this meeting is to check whether or not F39 Final is ready for shipment, according to the release criteria. (amoloney, 17:11:55)
    2. This is determined in a few ways: (amoloney, 17:12:21)
    3. 1. Release candidate compose is available (amoloney, 17:12:58)

    5. 3. Test matrices are fully completed (amoloney, 17:13:19)
    6. 4. Fedora CoreOS and IoT are ready (amoloney, 17:13:34)

  3. Current status - RC (amoloney, 17:14:05)
    1. https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/39_RC-1.5/ is the current RC (adamw, 17:14:45)
    2. RC-1.5 is the current release candidate (amoloney, 17:20:02)

  4. Current status - blockers (amoloney, 17:20:37)
    1. https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/39/final/buglist (amoloney, 17:21:11)

  5. (2246871) F39 Server Edition for aarch64 SBC disk image is not bootable (adamw, 17:22:42)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2246871 (adamw, 17:22:42)
    2. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1429 (adamw, 17:22:42)
    3. Proposed Blocker, arm-image-installer, NEW (adamw, 17:22:42)
    4. AGREED: 2246871 - RejectedBlocker (Final) - this bug kinda rolls up two issues: possible problems writing the Server image from a system with a VG called 'fedora' or writing the image multiple times to the same media, and problems caused by a file on the image that shouldn't be there. as best we understand this right now, nothing here is bad enough to block the release on (adamw, 17:39:54)

  6. (2247611) [aarch64] F39 RC1.5 unxzed images too large (adamw, 17:41:43)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2247611 (adamw, 17:41:44)
    2. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1432 (adamw, 17:41:44)
    3. Proposed Blocker, distribution, NEW (adamw, 17:41:44)
    4. Ticket vote: FinalBlocker (+0,0,-4) (-adamwill, -kevin, -lruzicka, -frantisekz) (adamw, 17:41:44)
    5. AGREED: 2247611 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) - this is accepted as a violation of the image size criterion, with the test case wording supporting the interpretation that size limits for disk images should be read as applying to the uncompressed size (adamw, 17:55:57)

  7. (2247659) User switching causes gnome-shell to crash occassionally. (adamw, 17:56:08)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2247659 (adamw, 17:56:08)
    2. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1433 (adamw, 17:56:08)

    4. https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/2243821#next_previous (adamw, 17:56:28)
    5. AGREED: 2247659 - RejectedBlocker (Final) - this is a bad bug if you hit it, but openQA test results indicate it doesn't happen terribly often (at least on x86_64), so we think it's acceptable to try and fix this post-release (adamw, 18:06:50)

  8. (2247311) Update Firefox in Fedora 39 Final to fix CVE-2023-5721 (adamw, 18:07:38)

    3. Accepted Blocker, firefox, ON_QA (adamw, 18:07:38)
    4. this is addressed in RC-1.5, so all good (adamw, 18:07:44)

    4.
