Fedora IoT and CoreOS are ready (@amoloney:fedora.im, 17:08:39) * TOPIC: Current status - RC (@amoloney:fedora.im, 17:08:50) * INFO: The RC is 1.4 (@amoloney:fedora.im, 17:09:54) * TOPIC: Current Status - Blockers (@amoloney:fedora.im, 17:10:06) * LINK: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/42/beta/buglist (@amoloney:fedora.im, 17:10:27) * INFO: Fedora QA will lead this section of the meeting (@amoloney:fedora.im, 17:10:42) * TOPIC: (2351848) unable to perform an mdraid installation with Fedora-Workstation-Live-42_Beta-1.4.x86_64.iso (@adamwill:fedora.im, 17:11:37) * INFO: Proposed Blocker, anaconda, POST (@adamwill:fedora.im, 17:11:37) * LINK: https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1792 (@adamwill:fedora.im, 17:11:37) * LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2351848 (@adamwill:fedora.im, 17:11:37) * AGREED: 2351848 - RejectedBlocker (Beta) - we decided this is a conditional violation (the installer can do everything the criteria say if you hold it right, but it fails if you hold it wrong). Given webui is new and we have to accept some level of teething troubles for it in a Beta, we decided this is not severe enough to be a blocker, so it's rejected (@adamwill:fedora.im, 17:26:15) * LINK: https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1790 (@adamwill:fedora.im, 17:26:26) * INFO: Proposed Blocker, mdadm, ASSIGNED (@adamwill:fedora.im, 17:26:26) * TOPIC: (2325906) [WebUI] Can't reuse existing RAID partitioning (@adamwill:fedora.im, 17:26:26) * LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2325906 (@adamwill:fedora.im, 17:26:26) * AGREED: 2325906 - AcceptedBlocker (Beta) - this is accepted as a violation of "the installer must be able to: ... Correctly interpret, and modify as described below any disk with a valid ms-dos or gpt disk label and partition table containing ... software RAID arrays at RAID levels 0, 1 and 5 containing ext4 partitions ... Remove existing storage volumes ... Assign mount points to existing storage volumes", on live images (non-live seem unaffected) (@adamwill:fedora.im, 17:53:48) * INFO: the idea of waiving this blocker has come up, so let's discuss that (@adamwill:fedora.im, 17:55:53) * AGREED: 2325906 - waived to Fedora 42 Final under both the "Last minute" and "Difficult to fix" justifications (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:00:51) * TOPIC: (2351459) F42 Beta release blocking images are oversize (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:01:05) * LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2351459 (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:01:05) * LINK: https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1788 (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:01:05) * INFO: Accepted Blocker, distribution, NEW (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:01:05) * INFO: let's also consider waiving this one (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:01:17) * AGREED: 2351459 - waived to Fedora 42 Final under the 'last minute' justification. this was discovered late due to robot malfunctions. in the usual course of events we would have discovered this weeks ago and either squished the image a bit or just bumped the size limit. since this is not a very significant size limit - nobody in the meeting has seen a 1GB USB stick lately - we're comfortable waiving it (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:06:22) * TOPIC: Blocker status (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:06:53) * INFO: we have two unaddressed blockers in the current candidate, but both are waived (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:07:20) * INFO: Current status - test matrices (@amoloney:fedora.im, 18:08:09) * LINK: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Fedora_42_Test_Results (@amoloney:fedora.im, 18:08:28) * LINK: https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/testcase_stats/42/ (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:09:52) * INFO: We are waiting for additional tests to be run before proceeding with the meeting (@amoloney:fedora.im, 18:21:32) * INFO: Cloud smoke test on ec2 aarch64 and x86_64 looks good, will fill the matrix later (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:50:34) * INFO: SAS and FCoE installs not tested due to hardware availability (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:50:44) * INFO: we have an aarch64 ISO boot test passing on real hardware, pwhalen will check the wiki box shortly (@adamwill:fedora.im, 19:03:23) * INFO: test matrix coverage is functionally complete (@adamwill:fedora.im, 19:06:06) * INFO: CoreOS and IoT check in (@amoloney:fedora.im, 19:07:27) * INFO: Both Fedora CoreOS and Fedora IoT are ready for release (@amoloney:fedora.im, 19:14:39) * TOPIC: Go/No-Go Decision (@amoloney:fedora.im, 19:15:04) * AGREED: Fedora Linux 42 Beta is GO (@amoloney:fedora.im, 19:17:58) * INFO: Fedora Linux 42 Beta will release on the current target date (2025-18-03) (@amoloney:fedora.im, 19:18:10) * ACTION: @amoloney to announce decision (@amoloney:fedora.im, 19:18:33) * TOPIC: open floor (@amoloney:fedora.im, 19:18:47) Meeting ended at 2025-03-13 19:21:21 Action items ------------ * @amoloney to announce decision People Present (lines said) --------------------------- * @adamwill:fedora.im (200) * @amoloney:fedora.im (71) * @nhanlon:beeper.com (54) * @nirik:matrix.scrye.com (50) * @geraldosimiao:matrix.org (32) * @zodbot:fedora.im (18) * @mattdm:fedora.im (18) * @farribeiro:matrix.org (17) * @lruzicka:matrix.org (14) * @kashyapc:fedora.im (14) * @boniboyblue:fedora.im (11) * @Zlopez:matrix.org (8) * @pwhalen:fedora.im (6) * @derekenz:fedora.im (4) * @decathorpe:fedora.im (3) * @meetbot:fedora.im (2) * @marmijo:fedora.im (2) * @x3mboy:fedora.im (1)
