That will be loooong. 16:02:11 Ok, so let's start. 16:02:15 #topic Introduction 16:02:15 Why are we here? 16:02:15 #info Our purpose in this meeting is to review proposed blocker and nice-to-have bugs and decide whether to accept them, and to monitor the progress of fixing existing accepted blocker and nice-to-have bugs. 16:02:15 #info We'll be following the process outlined at: 16:02:15 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting 16:02:16 #info The bugs up for review today are available at: 16:02:16 #link http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/current 16:02:17 #info The criteria for release blocking bugs can be found at: 16:02:17 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_21_Alpha_Release_Criteria 16:02:18 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_21_Beta_Release_Criteria 16:02:18 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_21_Final_Release_Criteria 16:02:42 Today we have to discuss 7 proposed blockers and 1 proposed FE 16:02:45 * kparal volunteers to do the secretary work 16:03:00 kparal: thank you! 16:03:04 * danofsatx-work isn't late after all 16:03:12 * nirik is lurking also 16:03:17 ok. So, first blocker 16:03:25 #info 7 Proposed Blockers 16:03:25 #info 6 Accepted Blockers 16:03:25 #info 1 Proposed Freeze Exceptions 16:03:25 #info 0 Accepted Freeze Exceptions 16:03:34 #topic (1127280) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory 16:03:34 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1127280 16:03:34 #info Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW 16:03:50 this is blocked on 1127103 16:04:08 once we resolve that, we will know whether it is a blocker or not. hopefully it will be resolved as well 16:04:19 so let's just punt? 16:04:39 +1 for this idea. 16:04:50 +1 punt 16:05:25 +1 punt 16:05:31 yeah, punt sounds appropriate. hard to tell what's going on with inconsistent images 16:05:36 #info We will discuss bug 1127280 after bug 1127103 will be resolved. 16:05:37 +1 punt 16:06:13 so let's move to another one (I can't remember if I should write any other #agreed or what?) 16:06:40 #topic (1129507) Anaconda deletes default EFI boot entry 16:06:41 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1129507 16:06:41 #info Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW 16:06:57 * satellit I still see working soas lives today...so very inconsistent 16:06:57 #chair tflink 16:06:57 Current chairs: kparal mkrizek pschindl tflink 16:07:10 this one is mine, and I'm a little disgruntled about it. my laptop is still effectivley dead. 16:07:54 release criteria state "Disks not selected as installation targets must not be affected by the installation process in any way." 16:08:26 danofsatx-work: was the original system called 'Fedora'? 16:08:29 the UEFI pointers to disks not selected as installation targets were deleted, making my laptop unbootable without that USB drive attached. 16:08:31 in UEFI 16:09:10 kparal: that's a very good question....it was whatever Anaconda called it for F20, so it likely was. 16:09:22 it was called Fedora 16:09:31 the current approach is to remove item called 'Fedora' and create a new one 16:09:42 the destination is not considered 16:09:55 it looks like the bootloader configuration succeeded 16:09:56 if the item was not removed, there would be two boot options called the same 16:10:01 how does it work if I want to have dual boot? 16:10:07 from the viewpoint of the efibootmgr stuff inthe longs, anyways 16:10:10 * amita joining late 16:10:25 this bug is a piece of a bigger story - UEFI Fedora multiboot handling 16:10:26 pschindl: I rename my real "Fedora" to something that doesn't conflict 16:10:28 pschindl: technically, grub is supposed to handle the dual booting 16:10:36 currently you can't have two Fedora installations in UEFI easily 16:10:37 Hi, amita 16:10:50 hello pschindl 16:11:17 hello tflink and every one :) 16:11:40 Hmmm. Ok so it looks like it breaks older installations but it is expected. Am I right? 16:11:51 Can we amend the efibootmgr command to say, maybe efibootmgr -L "Fedora 21" 16:12:37 danofsatx-work: That makes sense to me. Maybe even something like Fedora 21 Workstation. 16:12:53 But this is discussion for another meeting I thing. 16:13:08 probably. but is it a blocker is the question... 16:13:09 in this case it would have to be renamed during upgrade 16:13:14 the only problem with doing something like that is NVRAM exhaustion 16:13:20 so, back to the bug 16:13:35 I think we should talk to anaconda and clarify whether they intend to support fedora multiboot in UEFI 16:13:38 what does efibootmgr show now? 16:13:53 because currently it's not a bug per-se, it's simply unimplemented feature 16:13:56 did it really get deleted or just confused with looking at a removable disk?\ 16:14:05 "just deleted" rather 16:14:18 after all my futzing around trying to fix it? I couldn't tell you off the top of my head. the machine is in my backpack. 16:14:28 I don't think it is blocker. It looks more like feature request to me too. 16:14:37 according to the journal.log, it deleted the entry, then created a new one. 16:14:40 * pwhalen sneaks in quietly 16:14:55 danofsatx-work: yeah, that's been how it's worked for a while 16:15:35 So. Any suggestions? 16:15:43 pertinent part of log: http://ur1.ca/hyuar 16:16:12 a simple fix would be if anaconda warned you the boot menu entry is going to get replaced 16:16:24 yeah, I'm just wondering if installing to a usb disk had something to do with the problem 16:16:31 that doesn't require implementing dual boot support, but at least it would warn the user 16:16:37 the problem of not booting anymore, I mean 16:16:49 that looks like currently expected behavior to me 16:17:58 * tflink is -1 blocker on this. it could be documented better and a warning might be nice but it's not a common enough use case (IMO) to block over at alpha 16:18:35 I just asked bcl to come over here 16:18:39 I'm abstaining. 16:19:23 pjones: hi, talking about 1129507 16:19:54 * satellit no way to save UEFI boot record and replace if no USB mounted on next boot? 16:19:55 pjones: I guess multi-Fedora boot is still not supported with UEFI using anaconda? 16:20:14 just wondering if it is a bug or a not-implemented-feature 16:20:14 Correct, it isn't. 16:20:36 pjones: would it be possible to at least warn the user in advance (before runnning installation) that the boot entry is going to get replaced? 16:21:01 that could save people some surprises 16:21:16 It's certainly theoretically possible; I'm not working on that code so I can't speak to if it's reasonable in this release cycle. 16:21:17 just an idea, maybe there are better ones 16:22:19 It's somewhat difficult to tell the difference between a vestigial boot entry that points off into la-la land and one that's merely /also/ correct, though. 16:22:32 bcl: thoughts? 16:22:44 This is difficult, since the user expects to have the drive portable, but you really can't do that with UEFI. 16:23:04 how difficult is it to tell if it's being installed to a currently existing boot entry? 16:23:13 I'd lean towards not allowing it at all unless they don't have a non-removable drive. 16:23:20 bcl: ah, so that's another complication. I was thinking more about the usual use case - two Fedoras installed together (19 and 20) to the same drive 16:23:55 yeah, that's something else that we don't currently support. 16:24:12 IIRC we talked about adding the release number to the entry at one point. 16:24:41 anyway, since this is not a bug but a lacking feature, I'm definitely -1. it would be -1 even for Final, unless Anaconda say they want to support it, I guess. but still, some warning or such would be nice. something to help users avoid mistakes 16:24:43 it's not just that; we'd have to generate a subdirectory on the ESP, we'd have to change fallback to descend into them, ... 16:24:56 it's a fairly complex RFE 16:24:57 let's not pretend the documentation is enough 16:25:13 proposed #agreed - 1129507 - RejectedBlocker - Anaconda doesn't support UEFI multiboot of Fedoras yet. This is expected behaviour. 16:25:26 pjones: right, which is probably why it didn't go anywhere. 16:25:43 not really expected (by the user) :-) , but more of a unfortunate consequence 16:26:37 I'll try to ponder this a bit. We certainly don't want to blow away the entry on their working system. But I also don't like adding popups for every contingency. 16:27:24 so just: 16:27:24 proposed #agreed - 1129507 - RejectedBlocker - Anaconda doesn't support UEFI multiboot of Fedoras yet. 16:27:30 ack 16:27:46 bcl: pjones: ok, thanks for the feedback 16:28:12 np 16:28:14 any other ack/nack? 16:28:22 ack 16:28:30 ack 16:28:43 * danofsatx-work grumbles some more 16:28:43 #agreed - 1129507 - RejectedBlocker - Anaconda doesn't support UEFI multiboot of Fedoras yet. 16:29:11 danofsatx-work: hopefully at least discussion with anaconda was helpful and promising. 16:29:25 #topic (1129629) Anaconda doesn't recognize insufficient size of /boot partition 16:29:25 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1129629 16:29:25 #info Proposed Blocker, anaconda, ASSIGNED 16:29:30 well, laptop is still dead, but yeah ;) 16:29:32 danofsatx-work: did reconstructing your old boot entry not work? 16:29:53 no, it still went looking for the usb. I have another method I'm going to try later.... 16:31:16 as I'm thinking about this bug now. It is more beta blocker. 16:31:37 Yeah, it seems to me like -1 alpha blocker, +1 beta blocker 16:31:40 Because it involves custom partitioning 16:31:54 you aren't going to hit it unless you try. Plus we have experimental support for extlinux which I'm betting uses less space than grub2 16:32:07 yeah, the Beta criterion is better for this 16:32:41 bcl: good to know. So it will probably change before Beta? 16:33:16 well, we could change it, but that may generate complaints that it defaults to too big :) 16:33:29 But yeah, bumping it up isn't hard. 16:33:54 -1 Alpha; propose for Beta and we will deal with it in that time if it is not fixed yet 16:34:01 proposed #agreed - 1129629 - RejectedBlocker - Creating small /boot partition involves custom partitioning which is in beta criterion. Reproposing for beta blocker. 16:34:27 -1 alpha blocker from me 16:34:30 ack 16:34:47 ack 16:34:59 garretraziel: ack/nack? :) 16:35:09 ack 16:35:13 #agreed - 1129629 - RejectedBlocker - Creating small /boot partition involves custom partitioning which is in beta criterion. Reproposing for beta blocker. 16:35:22 that was quick :) 16:35:34 #topic (1129695) please provide minimal iso images for offline use 16:35:34 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1129695 16:35:34 #info Proposed Blocker, distribution, NEW 16:37:17 This doesn't seem like blocker to me. 16:37:42 I am not sure what criterion this violates. 16:37:52 what about no criterion :) 16:37:53 -1 blocker 16:38:15 -1 16:38:23 * kparal still trying to understand 16:38:49 I'm not even sure what he's asking for 16:38:51 * satellit looks like he wants minimal live? 16:39:09 sounds like it. 16:40:38 -1 at the moment, it seems as a feature request to me. I'll ask him to clarify 16:40:56 ok, -1 16:41:03 I read the bug and to me to -1 16:41:06 those are the words I was looking for - thanks kparal 16:41:27 proposed #agreed - 1129695 - RejectedBlocker - Demand for minimal isos doesn't violate any criterion. This is feature request which should be discussed elsewhere. 16:42:31 actually we do have boot.iso so I'm not sure what he's asking for 16:42:35 gotta run, sorry folks 16:42:37 ack 16:42:44 oh, and ack that last one 16:42:48 ack, I'll phrase it properly in the bug report 16:42:49 * satellit he mentioned offline install 16:42:55 danofsatx-work: thanks for your time. Have a nice day. 16:43:10 #agreed - 1129695 - RejectedBlocker - Demand for minimal isos doesn't violate any criterion. This is feature request which should be discussed elsewhere. 16:43:15 for reference, 1127450 appears to have been fixed. -1 blocker on that one when we get to it. 16:43:26 #topic (1127450) Black screen after userless installation of KDE live 16:43:27 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1127450 16:43:27 #info Proposed Blocker, initial-setup, ON_QA 16:43:52 danofsatx-work: it could be blocker even thou it is fixed. 16:43:52 * satellit I have not tested lately... 16:44:42 and this one looks like blocker to me (if KDE still blocks release) 16:45:19 if login screen is missing altogether then it should be considered as blocker 16:46:53 as I got it. It should start in graphic, but it fails somehow to start graphic so text mode is started but on non-existent console. 16:47:09 "A working mechanism to create a user account must be clearly presented during installation and/or first boot of the installed system. " 16:47:19 last KDE live: Fedora-Live-KDE-x86_64-21-20140810.iso hard to test 16:47:22 alpha release criteria 16:47:32 tflink: yes, it violates this one. 16:47:37 so I'm +1 16:47:48 +1 per criteria 16:47:50 +1 16:48:17 +1 16:48:24 +1 16:48:34 +1 16:48:45 +1 16:49:10 proposed #agreed - 1127450 - AcceptedBlocker - This bug clearly violates the alpha criterion: "A working mechanism to create a user account must be clearly presented during installation and/or first boot of the installed system." 16:49:58 so many +1s and no ack? What am I doing wrong? :) 16:50:17 ack 16:50:19 ack :) 16:50:19 ack 16:50:20 ack 16:50:24 ack 16:50:26 got distracted by moztrap 16:50:28 ack 16:50:30 pschindl: poking us too little 16:50:30 #agreed - 1127450 - AcceptedBlocker - This bug clearly violates the alpha criterion: "A working mechanism to create a user account must be clearly presented during installation and/or first boot of the installed system." 16:50:42 #topic (1128675) missing crucial specfile changes 16:50:42 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1128675 16:50:42 #info Proposed Blocker, java-1.8.0-openjdk, ASSIGNED 16:51:52 I have to say I probably didn't get this one. 16:52:00 if I'm understanding this correctly, he's claiming that the upgrade to java8 isn't being done quite right and alternatives needs to be updated 16:52:42 not sure it's a blocker but if he's right, that is a bug that should be fixed 16:53:06 so it looks more like FreezeException. 16:53:41 why? it's not on the livecd, is it? 16:53:49 no? 16:54:00 what would the FE be for? 16:54:41 Mea culpa. I will think twice next time. Ok. Than I'm just -1. 16:54:47 either way, he doesn't need a blocker or FE to do this right now 16:55:10 it's on Live 16:55:47 to me if the alternatives are there to fix the specfile, then it should not be a blocker. 16:56:59 any other thoughts? 16:57:22 mkrizek: what do you think? :) 16:58:14 seems like not a blocker to me 16:58:55 I think this should be moved to FE 16:59:01 not a blocker 16:59:02 -1 blocker since there is no criteria for features being done 16:59:33 ok. Will we discuss FE right now? 16:59:34 I'd be open to a FE on this if it's not done before freeze 16:59:46 let's cross that bridge if and when we get there 17:00:08 We can repropose it as FE and wait if they make it before freeze. 17:00:29 tell him that he can propose as FE if it isn't done before freeze 17:00:42 but before then, he can just follow normal major package upgrade policies 17:01:38 proposed #agreed - 1128675 - RejectedBlocker - Missing components in specfile isn't blocker. If needed this could be re-proposed as Freeze Exception 17:02:48 patch: isn't a blocker by itself 17:03:21 proposed #agreed - 1128675 - RejectedBlocker - Missing components in specfile isn't blocker by itself. If needed this could be re-proposed as Freeze Exception 17:03:37 tflink: thanks. At least someone is reading it :) 17:03:48 ack 17:04:31 ack 17:04:56 #agreed - 1128675 - RejectedBlocker - Missing components in specfile isn't blocker by itself. If needed this could be re-proposed as Freeze Exception 17:05:12 ok.

It's about upgrading and that's beta or final. 17:07:26 -1 since it's an upgrade issue and doesn't hit the alpha criterion 17:07:27 -1 17:07:30 of course fedup should be used 17:07:31 criteria 17:07:31 * danofsatx-work is back 17:07:46 -1 blocker on alpha, maybe beta or final 17:08:43 eh, I'm not a fan of people proposing blockers with no research 17:09:03 if he really thinks it's a blocker, he can re-propose with some criteria violation :) 17:09:31 proposed #agreed - 1119251 - RejectedBlocker - This seems to happen only on upgraded systems which doesn't block alpha. Re-proposed for beta blocker. 17:09:32 * danofsatx-work rereads 17:09:55 -1 17:09:57 ack 17:10:12 it doesn't prevent booting or use of the system 17:10:34 patch: s/re-proposed for beta blocker/if this is still an issue at beta with fedup upgrades, please re-propose as a beta blocker if it violates any of those criteria/ 17:10:48 yeah, I don't think this could be a beta or final blocker 17:11:02 unless the problem at startup is worse than it sounds 17:11:10 not clear to me if it's causing problems @ login 17:11:27 proposed #agreed - 1119251 - RejectedBlocker - This seems to happen only on upgraded systems which doesn't block alpha.

If this is still an issue at beta with fedup upgrades, please re-propose as a beta blocker if it violates any of those criteria 17:12:04 yeah, annoying but fix-able with an update 17:12:13 So that were all proposed blockers. 17:12:33 IIRC, we don't consider yum-upgrade-only issues to be blockers anyways 17:12:34 I don't think that we have to go through FE. 17:13:09 Or do you want to look at the only proposed FE? 17:13:20 If not we can move to accepted blockers. 17:13:50 nooo, accepted blockers, nooo 17:13:57 they're discussion f21 schedule in fesco meeting ATM 17:14:17 that FE hasn't been touched since 07/09 17:14:19 kparal: I thought they are your favorite one :) 17:14:31 or 09/07 for y'all from outside the US ;) 17:15:25 let's skip FE 17:15:39 +1 skip 17:15:42 cool.

There is one comment from last week and no answer. 17:29:37 should we ask bcl for a status update? 17:29:53 pwhalen: do you know anything about the status on 108893? 17:30:29 pwhalen: 1088933 17:32:27 sorry, stepped away. I dont know of any change. in progress . dgilmore has been busy 17:32:37 let\s just ask for another status update in the bug 17:32:50 or not, awesome timing on my part 17:33:09 ive started on updating things but ive not yet gotten it right 17:33:29 it will be done when i can get time to finish it 17:34:24 dgilmore: thanks for the update 17:34:42 #info dgilmore has this on his probably veeery full todo list. When there will be time he will finish it. 17:35:06 #topic (1110758) SELinux prevents cockpit from working on Fedora 21 17:35:07 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1110758 17:35:07 #info Accepted Blocker, selinux-policy-targeted, NEW 17:36:45 this one is being actively worked. I haven't test it lately, though due to my "other" issues :( 17:37:53 * satellit afk 17:38:06 #info There is an active work on bug 1110758 17:38:24 and the last one to bother us. 17:38:30 #topic (1044778) wandboard uboot missing serial line speed in console environment variable 17:38:30 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1044778 17:38:30 #info Accepted Blocker, uboot-tools, NEW 17:39:09 looks like another issue waiting for dgilmore to have free cycles 17:39:28 we should clone him 17:39:34 I have started updating u-boot 17:39:40 to a newer upstream build 17:39:54 and im not sure this will actually be fixed, its not totally a bug 17:40:52 dgilmore: thanks for the update 17:41:09 #info dgilmore works on this (bug 1044778). 17:41:38 dgilmore, consistency between uboots then, others include the baudrate 17:41:41 ok. Do you have something else? If not we can end this great meeting. It was fun :) 17:42:00 lunch has been calling for while now..... 17:42:04 pwhalen: talk to upstream. 17:42:12 many do not have it 17:42:16 #info u-boot will be updated to a newer upstream build soon. this particular bug may not be fixed with the update 17:42:21 danofsatx-work: yep. My dinner is getting cold too :) 17:42:27 and it works the speed that the kernel defaults to is slower 17:42:42 tflink: i dont really see it as a bug 17:43:06 I think we were under the impression that serial console didn't work at all without the speed change/specification 17:43:15 it doesnt. 17:43:35 tflink: it works just fine, the kernel defaults to 9600 or 38800 i cant remeber which 17:43:37 I'm hearing different things from both of you 17:43:50 you get some corruption due to speed missmatches 17:44:07 if that's the case, I'm not sure it's even a blocker 17:44:13 other boards include it, in the uboot we provide. ie - console=ttyO2,115200n8 , the wandboard breaks the console variable in two iirc, baudrate= and console= 17:44:45 workaround: change the speed of your serial console 17:44:46 i may have been premature with blocker, as its specific piece of hw 17:44:58 but its also an easy fix. 17:45:09 ok, I really do have to run. it's been fun.... 17:45:18 if the console actually works but at a slower speed, I'm -1 blocker on this 17:45:23 and one of our primary pieces of hw 17:45:32 it doesnt work 17:45:40 pwhalen: dgilmore just said that it did 17:45:50 just at a slower baud than expected 17:46:15 you two are saying two different things 17:46:26 there is a few workarounds 17:46:29 seems so. 17:46:46 its not really an area i want to diverge from upstream 17:47:04 its probably simpler for people if we patch u-boot 17:47:13 but it works just fine if we dont 17:47:21 ..with a workaround 17:47:28 at alpha 17:47:28 adding in the baudrate manually 17:47:34 a pain, imo 17:47:34 you can add the console line with 115200 as the speed in extlinux.conf 17:47:40 or that 17:47:44 or changing the other end of your console to 9600? 17:47:46 or you can use the slower speed when connecting to the serial port 17:48:01 I really do not see it as an alpha blocker 17:48:17 maybe beta, in my opinion its a nice to have fix 17:48:45 I don't thing it's alpha blocker too. So should we re-propose it or just discuss it next time? 17:48:52 it is not necessarily consistent with other boards 17:49:01 I'm ok with that, given its hw specific 17:49:10 ...but an easy fix. 17:50:04 dgilmore: just to be clear, are you saying that the fix to force the correct speed for wandboard is a bit too hacky? 17:50:09 or am I misunderstanding? 17:50:43 i see as being consistent with all other uboots we ship (that i know of anyways) 17:50:57 tflink: its not hacky its a one line change, but its a divergance from upstream, and I do not know if they chose to do it as they did for a reason 17:51:09 its something that needs discussed with the upstream maintainer 17:51:16 I do not want to carry the patch forever 17:51:40 ok, let's hold off on blocker status discussion here until that conversation has happened 17:52:29 ok. So if you don't have anything else I'd ended this meeting. 17:52:45 #info the requested patch for wandboard console speed is a divergence from upstream and they need to be consulted before we start changing things. will discuss blocker status once that conversation has happened 17:52:52 tflink: thank you. 17:53:06 Nothing else? 17:53:44 No? Than thank you all for joining the party! 17:53:46 I don't think so 17:53:50 #endmeeting
