I'll ack it 17:10:56 looks like dlehman moved it to POST, maybe by accident 17:11:02 (if it's not out for review on anaconda-devel) 17:11:08 adamw: POST means a patch has been posted to the list for review 17:11:20 MODIFIED means it has been pushed 17:11:22 yeah, that's what i meant by 'in', sorry to be vague 17:11:26 yep, patch on the list looks fine 17:11:31 #agreed 722963 - AcceptedBlocker for F16Final - appears to involve manual partition scenarios where the partition is not within the size limits for the format selected 17:11:45 #info Patch out for review on anaconda-devel, likely will be fixed well before F16Final 17:11:56 anything else to discuss on this one? 17:12:00 nope 17:12:02 no 17:12:03 #topic http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723144 17:12:04 Bug 723144: unspecified, unspecified, ---, dlehman, ASSIGNED, anaconda 16.12 crashed after the partition process 17:12:09 #info anaconda 16.12 crashed after the partition process 17:12:13 Argh! LVM 17:12:37 so accepting all default options, this will crash in current anaconda 17:12:49 b/c we still have "[X] Use LVM?" selected by default 17:13:05 I think this still fits the spirit of the existing Alpha partitioning release criteria ... 17:13:09 +1 alpha blocker, then. 17:13:13 "The installer must be able to complete an installation using the entire disk, existing free space, or existing Linux partitions methods, with or without encryption enabled " 17:13:17 yeah, definitely 17:13:28 I'd like to adjust the criteria for F16 to accomodate toggling LVM now 17:13:38 * jlaska would like to propose it includes whether LVM is enabled or disabled for Alpha 17:13:46 (but exclude any custom/manual partitioning) 17:13:51 as we already do 17:14:09 yeah, we can look at ways of re-wording it 17:14:15 okay, post-meeting of course 17:14:34 #action jlaska will propose rewording Alpha release criteria for paritioning to include [X] Use LVM? 17:14:42 any other objections to AcceptedBlocker 17:14:45 * jlaska works up #agreed 17:15:42 #agreed 723144 - AcceptedBlocker - Impacts default partition scenario and Alpha partition criteria 17:15:46 ack 17:15:57 ack 17:16:03 * jlaska ready with #undo if needed 17:16:23 seems like there is little question on this one 17:16:26 * jlaska moves on 17:16:35 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723345 17:16:36 Bug 723345: unspecified, unspecified, ---, clumens, MODIFIED, Rescue mode fails - TypeError: progressWindow() takes exactly 4 arguments (6 given) 17:16:40 #info Rescue mode fails - TypeError: progressWindow() takes exactly 4 arguments (6 given) 17:16:51 #info affects the Alpha criteria - "The rescue mode of the installer must start successfully and be able to detect and mount an existing default installation " 17:16:58 * Viking-Ice jumps in 17:17:03 hey viking 17:17:05 tflink and I +1'd this in the bug report 17:17:07 Greetings Viking-Ice 17:17:23 * jlaska works #agreed 17:17:44 proposed #agreed 723345 - AcceptedBlocker for F16Alpha - impacts rescue mode Alpha criteria 17:17:48 yup, looks like a straightforward +1 17:17:48 ack 17:18:05 ack 17:18:32 ack from Cranes 17:18:36 #agreed 723345 - AcceptedBlocker for F16Alpha - impacts rescue mode Alpha criteria 17:18:55 ack 17:18:57 #info Already fixed in anaconda-16.13-1 17:19:09 #topic http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723475 17:19:11 Bug 723475: unspecified, unspecified, ---, rvykydal, NEW, anaconda-16.12 - Unable to activate networking in anaconda (stage2) 17:19:15 #info anaconda-16.12 - Unable to activate networking in anaconda (stage2) 17:19:41 some discussion already on this one too 17:19:55 I believe this impacts the boot.iso install scenario for ALpha 17:20:01 "The installer must boot (if appropriate) and run on all primary architectures from default live image, DVD, and boot.iso install media " 17:20:17 ... since NM isn't activating networking properly, you cannot access the online repos for install 17:20:30 does not affect non-network DVD install ... and can be worked around by booting with "asknetwork" 17:20:35 hum think it's odd that alpha requires network to be present and working in the installer 17:21:01 jlaska: it is a little odd that that criteria says "run" not "successfully complete" 17:21:06 Viking-Ice: yeah, it'd probably be less of an issue if all we shipped was DVDs 17:21:10 pjones: you win a coconut 17:21:13 i was just about to say that 17:21:14 hehe 17:21:16 if we mean the latter, it should say the latter. 17:21:21 i'm not entirely sure why we phrased it that way 17:21:30 well, we can use other criteria for this one too 17:21:32 we do have explicit bits of the beta criteria which say that installing from network repos must work 17:21:34 I would rather say this was a beta criteria 17:21:36 "The installer must be able to use at least one of the HTTP or FTP remote package source options " 17:21:43 so obviously we chose not to make those alpha criteria 17:21:45 Viking-Ice: if we shipped only DVD's ... I'd agree 17:21:49 oh, yes, there it is 17:22:06 but it doesn't affect just the HTTP/FTP installs, no? 17:22:15 using the boot.iso implies netinstall which requires network 17:22:18 the theme for Alpha is ... *any* default install from the shipped media must work 17:22:25 tflink: right 17:22:57 also I think the fact that there's an easy workaround mitigates just how critical it is. 17:22:58 okay, so, i'll see if that can be clarified at all, but seems we do expect remote install to work at this point. but...the workaround seems pretty simple and painless. 17:23:19 huh ... that's news to me 17:23:25 for an alpha, yeah. the workaround isn't too bad 17:23:27 what is? 17:23:39 remote installs not being desired for Alpha? 17:23:49 i said 'do', not 'don't'. 17:24:10 adamw: okay, *that* makes much more sense :) 17:24:24 * jlaska adjusts ocular cavities 17:24:30 I'm still thinking this doesn't need to be a blocker. The workaround is trivial. 17:24:49 hmm ... 17:24:53 nth ? 17:24:57 I think this also would impact bugzilla's coming in from anaconda 17:24:58 Viking-Ice: yeah 17:25:12 jlaska: that would be a good thing to check 17:25:17 jlaska: maybe - but that's not in the criteria at all, is it? 17:25:25 "The installer must be able to report failures to Bugzilla, with appropriate information included " 17:25:30 oh, huh, so it is. 17:25:37 so we need to see if that works. 17:25:43 okay 17:25:51 and if the workaround also fixes that ;) 17:25:55 but still, I think the spirit of the existing criteria is that this should work 17:25:58 I thought that this bug came out of reporting crashes from anaconda 17:26:02 so if we decide the workaround is okay, we need to change the criteria 17:26:12 we do? 17:26:16 tflink: you're right, I believe it was related 17:26:25 the workaround would presumably work there, but obviously people aren't going to expect to have to workaround a network issue when doing a dvd install, so yeah, we might miss some bug reports 17:26:25 i'm kinda on the fence with this one 17:26:46 I don't think we need to change the criteria; the reason we've got a bunch of smart people making these decisions is to allow flexibility. 17:27:03 the sooner we get bugreports in anaconda the better. 17:27:07 if the workaround was click this, then do this ... but it involves rebooting and entering a boot arg 17:27:14 that's not horrible at all, but meh 17:27:18 just feels ... sub-standard 17:27:30 jlaska: well, maybe. we could just change the bootloader config to include the boot arg by default. 17:27:34 jlaska: no, we don't 17:27:56 (though that could potentially be more work than fixing the bug) 17:27:56 the criteria are written so that we can make a bug that infringes them, but for which there's an easy workaround, not a blocker. 17:28:00 we've done it quite a few times in the past. 17:28:09 "reasonable workaround " 17:28:18 so it's just deciding if this is reasonable or not 17:28:28 I don't think it is since boot.iso requires networking in the default scenario 17:28:46 if this was more of a corner case, I'd be fine ... I'm not comfortable with a workraound for a default use case 17:28:55 jlaska: if you read the common bugs before you start the install, you'd get to skip the 'try once and fail' step :P 17:29:10 jlaska: we can make the bootloader config specify asknetwork 17:29:18 adamw: that would be ideal, but how many people do that? 17:29:30 so if this prevents bugs from being filed, and requires workaround for boot.iso ... I think we need to fix it for Alpha 17:29:51 pjones: that's a valid short-term option ... but then DVD installers will complain (but it is short-term) 17:29:58 I wouldn't say prevents but certainly discourages 17:30:18 pjones: it's not a terribly difficult bug to fix is it, or anything? 17:30:21 tflink: well, I go with prevents because it requirse rebooting to get networking to work 17:30:25 jlaska: yeah, but it's not the end of the world; installs will complete, bug reports will get filed. 17:30:26 by then, the bug is gone 17:30:29 it's not like we're down to the wire here, we're just being our usual bureaucratic selves 17:30:41 adamw: we've got to debate something, right? :D 17:30:54 okay ... so we are deadlocked on this one 17:30:56 jlaska, we used to be able to put the anaconda bug dumps on media like usb keys has that stopped working ? 17:30:57 adamw: not really sure we've figured out what's going wrong, from reading the bug 17:30:57 unless we want to put it to a vote 17:31:10 Viking-Ice: don't know ... it'll be tested next week 17:31:11 jlaska: like I said, discourages. but this is symantics .. not all that important. prevents is close enough 17:31:18 tflink: roger 17:32:02 shall we punt till next week when we'll know about the bug filing scenario? 17:32:22 #info group debated whether workaround of booting with "asknetwork" is acceptable for Alpha 17:32:27 cos i'm pretty sure i'd be -1 if only network installs were affected, but it might be different if bug filing when doing a dvd install is affected also. 17:32:42 * jlaska feels like we are changing our tune for previous alpha releases 17:32:58 but we have a team of voters here for a reason ... so I'm okay to be over ruled :) 17:33:08 adamw: check out comment #1 - Description of problem: 17:33:08 Anaconda 16.12 can not save traceback to bugzilla, which dues to the network 17:33:11 problem, while the network is fine 17:33:43 unless you were talking about saving traces to a disk and submitting them manually 17:34:11 going by the criteria, I believe it's intended to capture direct filing into bugzilla - "The installer must be able to report failures to Bugzilla, with appropriate information included " 17:34:14 tflink: oh, missed that 17:34:20 jlaska: yeah, that's the intent 17:34:38 jlaska: i don't think we have a direct precedent for this, because it always comes down to judgement when there's a workaround 17:34:56 okay, proposals? 17:35:04 NTH and revisit later 17:35:11 +1 viking 17:35:12 as much as I would like to see this fixed before alpha, would we block release if it wasn't fixed? 17:35:12 if it's NTH ... we won't revisit it later 17:35:17 if we can wait a week, it's probably worth it to do so. 17:35:20 tflink: I would +1 that :) 17:35:29 jlaska: if we didn't mark it AcceptedBlocker or RejectedBlocker we would 17:35:33 because it would still be a proposed blocker 17:35:34 adamw: fair enough 17:35:39 adamw: ah right 17:35:54 i'm all in favour of waiting and hoping it goes away 17:36:02 * adamw will owe pjones a beer if it magically disappears by next meeting 17:36:21 it probably won't be me fixing it if it does 17:36:35 (but I will accept beer.) 17:36:45 so what information would we need to decide whether it's accepted/rejected Alpha blocker? 17:36:55 or are we just hoping it goes away instead? 17:37:04 well, we're hoping for more information, at least 17:37:18 pjones: of what, another use case that might be impacted? 17:37:26 a diagnosis of the problem would be a good start. some testing of the workaround in various scenarios would also be nice. 17:37:33 whether a fix is likely before alpha, whether there are a number of lost bugs ... 17:37:52 since the install media has been a bit MIA this week, I don't think many people have been trying it out 17:38:21 * jlaska feels comfortable with the install media impact at this point 17:38:29 but you're right, it hasn't had a lot of exposure yet 17:38:46 revisit next week ? 17:39:05 proposed #agreed 723475 - review again next week, unable to reach consensus on nature of workarond 17:39:09 I'd be fine with NTH, leave proposed blocker and see if we can get more info for next week 17:39:09 this is a 2 day old report. 17:39:25 pjones: it was spawned out of an older bug 17:39:34 not that much older, though IIRC 17:39:43 ack 17:39:52 revisit. 17:40:18 as long as we're requesting more details on the problem, ack 17:40:40 #agreed 723475 - unable to determine if workaround is acceptable for Alpha, review blocker status again next week with more details on failure 17:41:07 * jlaska removes his PITA hat ... and moves on to the next bug :) 17:41:17 #topic http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725040 17:41:18 Bug 725040: unspecified, unspecified, ---, anaconda-maint-list, NEW, rawhide installs generic-release package, instead of fedora-release 17:41:21 #info rawhide installs generic-release package, instead of fedora-release 17:41:30 okay this one I wasn't sure about ... so I pushed it here for more eyes 17:41:45 shipping with generic-release I believe is *not* intended for any official media 17:41:50 I think it might be a lorax thing. 17:41:56 but I don't know what breaks because of this 17:42:02 bcl: oh? 17:42:34 does the install media have /etc/fedora-release, etc. on it? 17:42:37 they both appear to be in the tree. 17:42:40 hrm. 17:42:47 what does this break? 17:42:47 bcl: hmm, I don't know ... 17:42:55 the generic-* packages are supposed to be blocked from media composes 17:43:02 In one of the lorax templates it is removing fedora-release and fedora-release-rawhide 17:43:10 i believe that's releng's responsibility and happens 'manually' in the compose commands 17:43:18 (or was, i dunno what impact lorax has) 17:43:25 but I'm not totally sure which templates are applied. 17:43:25 bcl: build log for latest live nightly - http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=3223177&name=root.log 17:43:32 so that does sound like it's probably lorax 17:43:42 live is not lorax 17:43:54 bcl: and then I see it later installing generic-release (not fedora-release) 17:44:08 so ... I think this needs to be fixed, but I can't find criteria that we have for this 17:44:31 so I'd propose tentatively accepting and I'd draft up some alpha criteria that we cannot install generic-* ? 17:44:36 I'm still not understanding the practical impact of having generic-release instead of fedora-release 17:44:36 i remember adding some criteria for this lately 17:44:40 i think it was past alpha 17:44:43 adamw: we have something for final, yeah 17:45:01 but it's more to ensure that the final version is bumped to *not* say Beta or pre-release 17:45:01 yeah, it's final 17:45:19 hm, yeah. 17:45:26 tflink: logos all look like hotdogs. 17:45:42 pjones: perfect thanks! 17:45:44 though i'd rather know the practical impact of this before deciding it has to be fixed. the -release packages contain the system id stuff, repo definitions and keys, basically 17:45:46 that's the criteria impacted for Alpha 17:45:48 if that's the impact, why should it block release? 17:45:58 for final, sure 17:45:58 "The default Fedora artwork must either refer to the current Fedora release under development (Fedora 16), or reference an interim release milestone (e.g. Alpha or Beta). If a release version number is used, it must match the current Fedora release under development. This includes artwork used in the installer, graphical bootloader menu, firstboot, graphical boot, graphical login and desktop background. " 17:46:07 because we want the fedora alpha release to look like fedora. 17:46:10 I think having the hot-dog grahpics would impact that criteria 17:46:24 right. i suspect that's generic-logos rather than generic-release, but hey. 17:46:34 we have actually had problems in the past where artwork changes later cause failures, so we'd like them in test releases if possible. 17:46:54 adamw: oh hmmm you're correct 17:47:00 adamw: I'm... assuming it's generic-* 17:47:00 that might also be installed too ... checking 17:47:09 jlaska: they tend to go together - either they're all right or they're all wrong 17:47:11 pjones: yeah 17:47:16 jlaska: should be; it's pulled in as a -release dep IIRC 17:47:20 adamw: right 17:48:04 huh, fedora-logos is installed 17:48:27 the only impact I know of right now is -> http://jlaska.fedorapeople.org/screenshots/Screenshot.png 17:48:37 and I'm sure other peoples scripts that rely on /etc/issue would break 17:48:54 weeird. 17:49:14 so ... do we want to go with NTH ... or Blocker and I'll work up some criteria for review post-meeting? 17:49:22 (or rejected*) 17:49:24 NTH 17:49:27 NTH 17:49:32 er 17:49:39 if this affects the artwork it's definitely a blocker... 17:49:42 agreed 17:49:46 NTH 17:49:52 I can't tell so far ... would need to retest on bare-metal 17:49:55 * adamw is still confused as to whether this is a live or regular installer issue 17:50:02 started as regular 17:50:04 I haven't tested live 17:50:09 also test boot.iso vs. live. 17:50:32 proposed #agreed 725040 - AcceptedNTH for F16Alpha - leave on proposed blocker list until we can confirm this does not impact artwork 17:50:35 jlaska: wouldn't looking at the plymouth splash be enough to tell on the artwork? 17:50:43 tflink: oh yeah ... 17:50:47 tflink: it says "Generic" 17:50:53 tflink: but it's a virt guest, so I don't get graqphics 17:50:59 but I think that means I'd get the hot-dog 17:51:00 huh. 17:51:04 FYI: I just tried liveinst from Fedora-16-Nightly-20110722.09-i686-Live-soas.iso which boots properly has generic (with f15) installs fine but no firstboot cannot login as get "other" ends up at blue screen with bird in tree gdm 17:51:07 what's the way to force graphical boot in kvm guest again? 17:51:11 the live image seems to have generic-release but fedora-artwork. 17:51:16 i wonder if it's a version thing 17:51:23 bcl: bug report appears to not be against live 17:51:37 ok, that's good. 17:51:48 adamw: did you want to suggest a different #agreed ? 17:51:59 * adamw looking at livecd.log from the latest live nightly compose 17:52:53 seriously is artwork allowed blocking the alpha release these days.. 17:52:53 if this affects -release rather than -artwork, not entirely 17:53:00 since we don't really know the exact impact 17:53:03 anyway I'm nth and or rejected 17:53:21 Viking-Ice: it sounds crazy ... but you have to start holding the line on bugs sooner or later ... they can't all wait to Final 17:53:28 Viking-Ice: yes, it is; as anaconda team mentioned it can actually cause bugs, and branding is a serious consideration 17:54:02 i note fedora-release-16-0.1 was built in february, and generic-release-16-0.1 in may. that might somehow have something to do with it, i guess. not sure how. 17:54:08 wasn't there a last minute artwork issue with F15? 17:54:13 adamw: yeah, could be 17:54:19 adamw: shouldn't. version numbers are the same, etc., as usual. 17:54:24 k 17:54:32 I think more likely the lorax compose is picking something wrong 17:54:40 alright ... I'm moving forward with proposed .. and we can test this further between now and TC1 to determine graphical impact 17:54:47 pjones: i'm looking at a live compose, here, that's not lorax at all is it? 17:54:56 okay 17:54:58 #agreed 725040 - AcceptedNTH for F16Alpha - leave on proposed blocker list until we can confirm this does not impact artwork 17:55:26 adamw: don't think so... hrm. 17:55:27 jlaska: well, i'd also like us to figure out exactly what impact it has, not just see if it affects artwork (i don't think it would) 17:55:41 patch? 17:55:47 (or toss it in #info) 17:55:59 it may somehow affect another criterion. anyhow. moving on. 17:56:15 #info adamw noted this bug may impact more than just artwork ... further investigation needed 17:56:22 pjones: check livecd.log at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3223177 and you can see it pulls generic-release 17:56:27 #topic http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723526 17:56:28 indeed. 17:56:28 Bug 723526: high, unspecified, ---, mgracik, POST, firstboot always runs even with RUN_FIRSTBOOT=NO in /etc/sysconfig/firstboot 17:56:40 #info firstboot always runs even with RUN_FIRSTBOOT=NO in /etc/sysconfig/firstboot 17:57:00 I believe the criteria that brought this bug to the proposed list is ... 17:57:03 "Following on from the previous criterion, after firstboot is completed and on subsequent boots, a system installed according to any of the above criteria (or the appropriate Beta or Final criteria, when applying this criterion to those releases) must boot to a working graphical environment without unintended user intervention. This includes correctly accessing any encrypted partitions when the correct passphrase is supplied " 17:57:20 if firstboot starts on every boot up, I believe it would affect that criteria 17:57:33 yeah, that implies 'it shouldn't boot to firstboot again; 17:57:58 so, + 17:57:58 1 17:58:04 +1 17:58:12 hum I though the systemd service files that I submitted to the firstboot guys disabled itself after successful run 17:58:25 yeah, I'm not sure that's the method by which firstboot disables itself 17:58:47 pjones: there's a belt and braces approach i think 17:59:00 i believe it actually disables itself both ways 17:59:05 #agreed 723526 - AcceptedBlocker for F16Alpha - affects firstboot Alpha criteria by running firstboot on every boot-up 17:59:15 jlaska: hold those horses... 17:59:18 #undo 17:59:18 Removing item from minutes: 17:59:25 hold up rusty 17:59:32 it would be good to check if this actually results in firstboot running every boot after a clean install 17:59:52 well ... I just installed 3 times this morning ... and I see something different 18:00:01 firstboot doesn't start ... and I have to manaully enable it 18:00:09 as i recall, what's supposed to happen is that when firstboot completes, it disables the firstboot service *and* writes NO into that config file 18:00:12 after that, it behaved correctly for the next, and following boots 18:00:25 adamw: yeah, that's my understanding 18:00:30 after you manually enable it and run through it, does it keep running every boot after that? 18:00:44 jlaska: okay, so that violates #14 instead of #15 18:00:50 adamw: it didn't appear to 18:00:53 pjones: right 18:00:57 I didn't file a bug yet for this behavior 18:01:03 Cranes has his limits 18:01:08 okay 18:01:08 so that sounds like there's a critical bug here but not this one... 18:01:17 could be this one might have magically been fixed 18:01:19 just add it to the existing bug, since whoever's working on it will be working on the same part. 18:01:20 so new proposed ... 18:01:34 (for the record, what happens - or should happen - if the firstboot service is enabled but that config file has NO in it is that the firstboot service starts the firstboot process, which reads that config file, sees the NO, and shuts itself right back down again) 18:01:56 proposed #agreed 723526 - Need more information to confirm whether bug exists after a *fresh* install 18:02:08 yup 18:02:12 +1 18:02:15 systemctl disable firstboot.service should be sufficiant 18:02:18 +1 18:02:39 also ... I'll file a new one, or repurpose this bug as pjones suggests, for the problem of firstboot not starting after install 18:02:52 any other ack/nak/patches? 18:02:55 recent spec changes probably caused that one 18:03:04 they drop the legacy sysv init script the other day 18:03:04 i'll check if "systemctl disable firstboot.service" fixes it for me - my rawhide was installed around 15 alpha TC2, so certainly isn't new 18:03:14 Viking-Ice: yeah, most likely. 18:03:34 +1 to proposal 18:03:40 #agreed 723526 - Need more information to confirm whether bug exists after a *fresh* install 18:03:55 and also if there are related bugs we can pile in 18:03:55 #action need confirmation whether firstboot is activated after a *fresh* install 18:03:55 so, ack 18:04:16 #topic http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=718722 18:04:17 Bug 718722: unspecified, unspecified, ---, pjones, NEW, Mismatched or corrupt version of stage1/stage2 18:04:21 #info Mismatched or corrupt version of stage1/stage2 18:04:34 pjones: are you waiting on me to determine whether we can close this one out? 18:04:57 no, I'm planning on looking at it monday 18:04:59 that's an blocker 18:05:13 yeah, it is a blocker. 18:05:54 i recall last week we wondered about the impact of this, seems like we have more data on it now 18:05:56 I'm no longer seeing this problem with a fresh install ... does the issue remain? 18:06:43 * jlaska pauses for catch-up on bz updates 18:06:46 the issue can only be triggered on an upgrade AFAIK 18:07:06 (maybe?) 18:07:10 I need to investigate more. 18:07:18 hum does upgrade hit the alpha criteria 18:07:19 if it only hits upgrades then it's not an alpha blocker, upgrades are beta 18:07:27 jlaska: on a fresh install you're not getting grub 1 installed anyway 18:07:30 if it's upgrade (like installer upgrade), that'd give us until beta to resolve 18:07:32 okay, so beta then. 18:07:34 pjones: that's right, I forgot 18:07:46 I'm still looking at it next week :P 18:07:49 and we can CommonBugs a manual workaround 18:07:54 pjones: roger, thanks! 18:07:54 yup rejected since this is an upgrade 18:08:09 or moved to beta blocker 18:08:34 if we're confident this is upgrade only, then -1 alpha, +1 beta 18:08:54 proposed #agreed 718722 - AcceptedBlocker for F16Beta, CommonBugs? - only impacts upgrades from F15 which is covered by beta criteria 18:09:04 if pjones uncovers something more nasty, we'll revisit 18:09:13 ok, that works for me 18:09:51 #agreed 718722 - AcceptedBlocker for F16Beta, CommonBugs? - only impacts upgrades from F15 which is covered by beta criteria 18:09:56 ack 18:10:14 btw ... if someone +1's the informal proposal, I've been just treating that as an ACK 18:10:25 if you'd prefer I wait for ack's on the formal proposal, I can 18:10:29 * jlaska looks at clock 18:10:40 I think +1 should be fine 18:10:44 okay 18:11:01 yeah 18:11:11 #info pjones plans to investigate and we'll revisit if the severity increases 18:11:14 #topic https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723901 18:11:15 Bug 723901: unspecified, unspecified, ---, mgracik, NEW, pre-release anaconda compose is disabling 'rawhide' repo ... leaves no repos available for install 18:11:19 #info pre-release anaconda compose is disabling 'rawhide' repo ... leaves no repos available for install 18:11:31 so tflink and I discussed this a bit already, and he raised some good points 18:11:41 I wouldn't be entirely surprised if this isn't related to the other issue. 18:11:49 pjones: yeah, could be! 18:11:55 yeah, i expect it is 18:12:02 it's _possible_ that this might jsut go away when we branch 18:12:09 i noticed when we were looking at it that generic-release's repo list is a lot shorter than fedora-release's 18:12:18 yes. 18:12:19 just do a repoquery -l on both and compare 18:12:25 is this something that is anaconda related or after anconda has installed 18:12:42 kind of anaconda related 18:12:51 Viking-Ice: well, the other bug (generic-release) is affecting post-install sine no fedora-release-rawhide was installed 18:12:54 and also: 18:12:54 eddie:~$ repoquery --enablerepo=rawhide --disablerepo=fedora,fedora-updates --requires fedora-release-rawhide 18:12:55 fedora-release = 16-0.1 18:12:58 anaconda just gives the option to restart instead of completing when doing a netinstall 18:13:10 ah netinstall again 18:13:10 this one I believe is just anaconda 18:13:12 so if you don't have fedora-release installed, you won't have rawhide repos enabled. 18:13:17 right 18:13:38 hrm. 18:13:58 so I think this one is just a rel-eng issue that we'll want resolved 18:14:13 by rel-eng ... I mean compose-related (pungi,lorax etc...) 18:14:30 as i read it this affects both 18:14:42 yeah, what I wasn't sure of ... 18:14:44 you can't do a net install as it doesn't have any available repos 18:14:50 and also, post install with the dvd, you'd wind up with no repos 18:14:51 was when we branch, whether this problem goes away again until F17/rawhide 18:14:58 adamw: well ... 18:15:02 you wind up with no fedora-release-rawhide 18:15:16 jlaska: which contains the rawhide repo definitions. 18:15:30 but we'll be branched at TC1 ... so I wasn't sure if this would no longer apply then 18:15:34 if that makes sense 18:15:45 jlaska: if this is caused by the fedora-release vs. generic-release bug, i can't see how branching would change anything 18:15:48 though i might be missing something 18:16:02 * pjones wonders if this could somehow be related to betanag 18:16:11 i don't know if we had this same problem in previous cycles 18:16:14 there's been quite a bit of change there lately 18:16:27 this is from a late F15 change right before finel 18:16:28 final 18:16:31 to remove the betanag 18:16:33 remember? 18:16:37 what causes fedora-release-rawhide to get pulled in normally? 18:16:57 * jlaska isn't sure 18:17:03 no dgilmore lurking? 18:17:04 I'm NTH if this only affects anaconda + network I'm +1 on blocker if this affects post installs 18:17:21 right now, at this moment, it affects post install 18:17:28 whether that'll still be true after we branch, I'm not sure 18:17:49 so revisit the bug after branch ? 18:18:09 that's a possibility 18:18:12 might help, i guess. 18:18:23 i think we should definitely document the link to the fedora-release vs. generic-release bug 18:18:28 and re-test this one after that one gets fixed 18:18:42 agreed ... and our standard matrix of tests should capture both use cases 18:19:11 proposed #agreed 723901 - revisit next meeting - impacts rawhide installs now, but unclear whether this will affect Branched (f16) media installs too 18:19:14 ack/nak/patch? 18:19:27 #info likely related to generic-release vs fedora-release troubles 18:19:43 the only question I have is whether this would be worth dealing with now so that we don't hit it again for F17 18:19:51 agreed 18:19:57 ack 18:19:57 agreed 18:19:59 I guess nothing stopping us from resolving it now 18:20:05 i think we'd better just get a clearer idea of what's going on first 18:20:19 I'm not sure that its a blocker as is but if we hit this every release, it needs to be fixed at some point 18:20:23 and by "us", I mean the smarter minds of #anaconda 18:20:32 any other ack/naks? 18:20:56 once, twice ... 18:20:58 I mean, I'm not sure its a blocker if it gets fixed at branch 18:21:06 ack 18:21:12 #agreed 723901 - revisit next meeting - impacts rawhide installs now, but unclear whether this will affect Branched (f16) media installs too 18:21:17 thx! 18:21:23 #topic http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690930 18:21:25 Bug 690930: unspecified, unspecified, ---, anton, ASSIGNED, microcode_ctl loops, impossible to boot 18:21:32 ack on blocker 18:21:34 #info microcode_ctl loops, impossible to boot 18:21:56 Viking-Ice: which criteria is impacted? 18:22:13 that would be failing to boot right 18:22:22 what's happened here is a bug we previously accepted as a blocker has been re-opened but the problem isn't actually the same... 18:22:38 then this one should be closed and a new one filed 18:22:39 but i see some discussion in the bug that the maintainer then reverted the fix, which means the initial problem *did* then come back 18:22:41 clear as mud! 18:22:49 heh 18:22:50 oh I see 18:23:57 http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/CompareProviders <-- jlaska might want to add this to info for the previous bug 18:24:51 so #4 and #5 probably do look interesting to the fedora-release case 18:25:00 * adamw goes to look at changelogs 18:25:00 it seems like right now we have a choice between amd systems failing to boot, and intel systems not getting microcode updates 18:25:00 until someone hits on the right magic formula to allow intel systems to get microcode updates and amd systems to be left alone 18:25:28 the latter is definitely preferred over the former. 18:25:34 Sonar_Guy: when this bug was filed, we were in the 'amd systems fail to boot' state 18:25:38 erf 18:25:43 that was just meant to be so: 18:25:44 hehe 18:25:57 then a 'fix' got committed which resulted in the 'everything boots, but intel doesn't get microcode updates' state 18:26:04 Not just AMD, also old Intel. 18:26:12 then yesterday, microcode_ctl-1.17-16.fc16 reverted that fix, so we're back to 'amd systems fail to boot' 18:26:12 right 18:26:18 anyway in either case amd or intel if the computer fails to boot I believe it's an blocker 18:26:39 so yeah, with the current package, we're definitely back in blocker statet 18:26:48 amd not booting would seem to be of a higher impact than no microcode updates 18:26:52 18:27:06 and if no-one manages to fix it properly we should re-apply the broken fix, or do something else to squelch microcode_ctl until it can be made to work properly 18:27:09 jlaska: yes, it is. 18:27:38 so...long story short...+1 blocker 18:27:45 +1 blocker 18:27:48 +1 blocker 18:27:50 because of the number of systems affected, and it prevents boot, right? 18:28:07 +1 blocker to that 18:28:10 yes. 18:29:00 #agreed 690930 - AcceptedBlocker - bootable AMD systems favored over intel microcode update support for Alpha ... if no fix available, re-apply broken fix to allow AMD systems to boot 18:30:11 okay, that's it for the proposed blockers 18:30:20 we have 1 proposed NTH, and 2 AcceptedBlockers 18:30:38 let's check-in on the acceptedblocker briefly 18:30:43 #topic http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=720034 18:30:44 Bug 720034: medium, medium, ---, schwab, NEW, Error: unsupported locale setting 18:31:35 are those still not a blocker ?

18:32:43 either way, needs more testing and/or poking 18:32:49 any suggestions? 18:32:55 leave as is, and we'll visit again next week? 18:33:07 if anyone wants to volunteer to look into it that'd be good i guess 18:33:10 note ... next meeting is our last meeting before Alpha RC1 18:33:20 yep, request update and wait until next week 18:33:30 I can ask for update.

I just saw this too 18:43:20 I think this definitely hits the beta criteria - "All release-blocking desktops' offered mechanisms (if any) for shutting down, logging out and rebooting must work " 18:43:41 esp since we recently adjusted that criteria to actually mean that the reboot/shutdown must work too 18:44:06 +1 for Beta 18:44:09 hum I actually think we should move that beta criteria to an alpha one 18:44:49 as in the shutdown reboot part 18:44:56 yeah, it might be an idea to split them up 18:45:19 for alpha, it should be possible to shut the system down cleanly; for beta, triggering from the desktop should work 18:45:20 so move shutdown/reboot to alpha criteria? 18:45:33 if someone wants to work up a draft for that it'd be great 18:45:34 yeah, that makes sense to me 18:45:41 I'll include this in my other proposal 18:45:46 great 18:45:53 unless Viking-Ice wants it :) 18:46:13 no I got my hands full with sysvtosystemd feature 18:46:20 and I mean hands full 18:46:24 #action jlaska - draft Alpha criteria to ensure that reboot/shutdown work as intended (desktop reboot/shutdown already covered in Beta) 18:46:30 what the heck, I've got nothing else going on ;) 18:46:48 okay, so should we tentatively agree to take this for Alpha then? 18:47:01 sure 18:47:27 proposed #agreed 724928 - AcceptedBlocker for F16Alpha - tentatively accepted for pending alpha criteria for proper shutdown/reboot behavior 18:47:30 ack/nak/patch? 18:47:36 ack 18:47:45 ack 18:47:52 ack 18:47:59 #agreed 724928 - AcceptedBlocker for F16Alpha - tentatively accepted for pending alpha criteria for proper shutdown/reboot behavior 18:48:08 #topic Open discussion - 18:48:53 I got to run so later. 18:49:02 thanks Viking-Ice! 18:49:13 okay ... if no other topics, let's conclude this before we hit the 2 hour mark 18:49:20 sounds good to me 18:49:25 * jlaska lights 1 minute fuse for #endmeeting 18:49:30 10 minutes before cloud sig mtng 18:50:18 20-ish seconds until endmeeting 18:50:44 alright gang ... as always thanks for your time, input and analysis on the bugs 18:51:02 I'll send minutes to the list 18:51:05 #endmeeting
