    4.

We note it was proposed very late and will likely consider waiving it later (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:24:24)

  6. TOPIC:(2460531) Firefox 150 fixes 271 unspecified security issues (F44 blocker consideration) (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:24:47)
    1. INFO: Proposed Blocker, firefox, ON_QA (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:24:47)
    2. INFO: Ticket vote: FinalBlocker (+4,0,-0) (+pbrobinson, +augenauf, +adamwill, +derekenz) (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:24:47)

We don't actually know for sure that any of the alleged 271 issues is 'important' or higher, but we decided that assuming at least one of them is constitutes a more sensible choice than assuming all of them are not (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:34:21)

    6. INFO: we now know the full set of accepted blockers. Since Firefox and PackageKit were accepted, RC-1.5 and RC-1.6 are no longer viable; RC-1.7 is the only candidate now under consideration (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:46:18)
    7. INFO: treating ON_QA and VERIFIED blockers as 'addressed', there are two outstanding unaddressed blockers (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:47:00)
  8. TOPIC:Waiver discussion (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:47:29)
  9. TOPIC:Waiver discussion - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2461077 "Anaconda fails to enforce min partition sizes for /boot, /boot/efi" (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:47:45)
    1. AGREED: 2461077 - waived to Fedora 45 Beta per both "Last minute blocker bugs" and "Difficult to fix blocker bugs" provisions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process#Exceptional_cases (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:50:12)
  10. TOPIC:Waiver discussion - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2448283 "Selecting a non-ASCII capable keyboard layout should automatically also select US English as a second layout" (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:50:40)
    1. AGREED: 2453216 - waived to Fedora 45 Final per the "Difficult to fix blocker bugs" provision at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process#Exceptional_cases - we are reliant on upstream to fix this, and upstream have advised us it is not trivial to fix and they cannot commit to fixing it correctly in a timeframe broadly compatible with the Fedora 44 release schedule. We note the fix for 2448283 lessens the practical impact of this bug by making folks less likely to decide to click stuff on the affected page. Waived to Final rather than Beta because the relevant criterion is Final. (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:56:56)
    2. INFO: all outstanding blocker bugs are considered to be addressed in RC-1.7 or waived (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:57:31)

  11. TOPIC:Current status - test matrices (@adamwill:fedora.im, 18:57:46)
    1. INFO: coverage is close to 100% with only missing advanced storage tests due to Red Hat losing an employee, and missing Windows 11 dual boot test (Windows 10 is covered). this coverage is considered acceptable (@adamwill:fedora.im, 19:10:26)
    2. AGREED: Sufficient test coverage is in place for RC-1.7 to continue with the release readiness checks (@adamwill:fedora.im, 19:10:50)
  12. TOPIC:Fedora CoreOS / IoT check-in (@adamwill:fedora.im, 19:10:57)
    1. INFO: IoT is good per pwhalen (@adamwill:fedora.im, 19:11:24)
    2. INFO: CoreOS is ready per marmijo (@adamwill:fedora.im, 19:12:58)
  13. TOPIC:Go/No-Go decision (@adamwill:fedora.im, 19:13:14)
    1. INFO: nobody officially from releng is around due to PTO / timezone issues, but myself and Conan Kudo 🥴 play releng on TV and we say it's fine (@adamwill:fedora.im, 19:17:06)
    2. AGREED: Fedora Linux 44 Final is GO (@adamwill:fedora.im, 19:17:57)
