16:42:06 I'll add this to the poke list 16:42:09 some days i just want to burn dracut into tiny little pieces 16:42:11 sounds like a plan 16:42:15 I was wondering the same thing? 16:42:23 3 minute != 3000 seconds 16:42:28 by a long shot 16:42:30 oh, i see 16:42:33 i think he means the default is 3 minutes 16:42:37 and that causes the problem 16:42:46 so the commit bumps it to a much bigger timeout to try and avoid the problem 16:42:47 ah, that makes more sense 16:43:09 so i guess we need to find out a) if it landed b) if the thing it landed in is in f23 c) if it actually works 16:43:23 that feels like a hackypatch to me, but w/e 16:43:58 a 50 minute timeout seems a tad...excessive 16:44:08 danofsatx: it's to give the media check time to complete. 16:44:24 still... 16:44:27 it can take quite a while on an actual optical disc, especially on a slightly dodgy drive (like, er, almost all optical drives, now) 16:44:35 yeah 16:45:00 #topic (1262600) Plasma live session notifies for available updates 16:45:03 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1262600 16:45:06 #info Accepted Blocker, plasma-pk-updates, NEW 16:46:09 so it's extra confirmed, but no fixes yet 16:46:34 yeah, but rex is the guy to deal with it, so i'm okay with figuring he's working on it 16:46:46 wfm 16:47:03 #topic (1252902) inst.repo=hd: is not working 16:47:03 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1252902 16:47:03 #info Accepted Blocker, python-blivet, ON_QA 16:47:32 got a fix to karma for this too 16:47:34 nice 16:47:57 * danofsatx wonders if we can disable kparal's bz account 16:48:19 lol 16:48:30 #topic (1170765) systemd: all processes in scopes (including user sessions) SIGKILLed immediately on shutdown with no opportunity to shut down cleanly 16:48:33 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1170765 16:48:35 #info Accepted Blocker, systemd, ON_QA 16:49:13 same deal 16:49:13 danofsatx: no, we don't want to cancel it, that's too obvious 16:49:26 just pipe to /dev/null 16:49:31 danofsatx: we need to redirect it to a dummy instance of bugzilla where convincing activity is generated by a bot 16:49:32 notice I didn't say "cancel" 16:49:51 isn't there a staging instance somewhere that the public can't see?

I'll likely fix it today anyhow. 17:13:16 sgallagh: however, you've been booked as a host for SNL 17:13:27 apparently that's more comedy talent than they've stolen from Canada in the last five years 17:13:59 roshi: new blocker? 17:14:11 sure thing - was reading it 17:14:34 #topic Bug 1199868 - Anaconda does not exclude packages specified in kickstart files 17:14:41 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1199868 17:14:57 So, this definitely sounds like DNF's API not functioning as documented. 17:15:12 #info Proposed Final Blocker, dnf, NEW 17:15:13 Do we have an explicit criterion for package exclusion, though? 17:15:32 no, we have crappy kickstart criteria in general 17:15:38 sgallagh: ahaha, documented. 17:15:58 * adamw looked at all this stuff a few months ago, can't recall exactly why though 17:16:11 i'm kinda borderline on this as a blocker, definitely FE 17:17:04 Yeah, I'm +1 FE, but without explicit exclusion criteria, I'm firmly -1 blocker 17:17:24 does ks exclusions prevent deps from being installed? 17:17:24 Because nothing is likely to be *broken* by having extra packages around,. 17:17:33 It's just inconvenient. 17:17:39 danofsatx: No, it does not. 17:17:42 * danofsatx wonders how to make that sentence more englishy 17:17:46 it might cause issues with the cloud image being generated 17:17:46 At least in the traditional yum behavior. 17:17:56 bloat is a no go for the cloud image 17:18:09 and iirc, it relies on exludes in the kickstart 17:18:11 It's a guideline for the depsolver. It basically means "exclude this unless doing so would break the dep resolver" 17:18:33 but the issue here is not that the packages are being pulled back in via deps. it's just broken. 17:18:41 ....then again, nothing deps on apper, so it shouldn't be an issue in this instance 17:18:43 In effect, it amounts to taking the package out of the 'yum install ' line, but it doesn't stop them from being pulled in as a dep 17:19:00 Right, I'm explaining the expected behavior of the kickstart feature 17:19:17 * danofsatx goes back to his corner 17:19:48 sgallagh: yeah, looks like fedora-cloud-base.ks does several exclusions... 17:20:05 that is processed by anaconda, right? cloud image builds work by running the installer, right? 17:20:10 adamw: fedora-install-server does several as well 17:20:29 it might be the cause of some of our bloat we've beenseeing too 17:21:22 Yeah, that could explain some of what mattdm was worried about on devel@ 17:21:28 ok, so i'm slightly +1 now 17:21:39 same here 17:21:43 for the record, we said like 1 or 2 releases ago that we'd basically take kickstart cases as they come since we haven't written good criteria 17:21:56 +1 since it impacts several things 17:21:57 +1 17:22:02 I'm still -1 blocker 17:22:03 we really ought to write good criteria, but absent that, my subjective feel-y vote here is +1, seems like we use this function widely enough that it ought to be blocking 17:22:20 "Increasing the size of the cloud image" is unfortunate, but not blocking in itself. 17:22:50 Extra packages aren't generally harmful, just annoying. 17:23:05 I'd absolutely not be calling this a blocker at a Go/No-Go meeting 17:23:19 what's the criteria? I don't see it in the bug 17:23:28 sgallagh: as i said, there isn't a solid enough rule for kickstart functions. we're not voting that this is a blocker because it increases the size of the cloud image exactly, we're voting ad hoc that this kickstart function is sufficiently significant, and the cloud case is an example. 17:23:35 like i keep trying to say, there isn't noe. 17:23:43 we never wrote good kickstart criteria. 17:23:50 eh, I'd expect pushback from cloud on this not being a blocker 17:23:55 Sure, and I'm disagreeing that the fallout from this is in any way blocker-worthy 17:23:56 if anyone wants to volunteer...:) 17:24:12 oh right - sorry, muscle memory from not seeing a criteria took over there for a second 17:24:14 Annoying, sure. 17:24:21 and again, we're not directly voting on the known fallout, we're using it as an example of why this part of kickstart capability is significant. 17:24:52 The workaround is to start a ks from @minimal and move up from there 17:24:54 the basic idea has always been that we'd define some particular subset of kickstart functionality as 'blocking', we just didn't know which subset. 17:24:59 Rather than starting bigger and taking stuff out... 17:25:13 sgallagh: you can exclude beyond minimal if you like, that's what the cloud kickstarts do. 17:25:21 except, now you can't (apart from doing it post-install) 17:26:10 proposed #agreed - 1199868 - AcceptedBlocker Final - This bug is an example of kickstart functionality we need to work for several different Fedora Editions (server, cloud) and we'd really like to get this fixed. More discussion is need to solidify kickstart criteria, but we feel this is a blocking issue which should be addressed. 17:26:15 adamw: I would still not block on this at Go/No-Go 17:27:12 for now i'm gonna ack that. 17:27:44 ack 17:27:54 when was the last ks discussion regarding the criteria? 17:27:59 * roshi suspects it was before me 17:28:24 #agreed - 1199868 - AcceptedBlocker Final - This bug is an example of kickstart functionality we need to work for several different Fedora Editions (server, cloud) and we'd really like to get this fixed. More discussion is need to solidify kickstart criteria, but we feel this is a blocking issue which should be addressed. 17:28:34 #topic Open Floor 17:29:05 anyone have anything else? 17:29:12 17:29:21 we should probably open up the ks criteria discussion again 17:29:52 roshi: dunno, you'd have to grab all the old logs and grep 'em or something 17:30:01 roshi: the best way to re-open it would be a criteria proposal 17:30:14 we kicked it around enough already, kicking it around won't achieve anything, someone needs to *do* something 17:30:58 I'll try to find the old discussion 17:31:19 (s) 17:31:20 :P 17:31:50 do you have a daterange I can look at first? 17:31:57 2 years ago, 3, 5? 17:32:18 10 17:32:22 honestly? nope. 17:32:37 since the beginning of (Fedora) time! 17:32:39 kparal posted a proposal in december 2012 17:32:48 lol 17:32:51 ok, that works 17:32:53 "On our QA meeting we have agreed that we will judge kickstart issues for Fedora 18 on a case-by-case basis. Once Fedora 18 is out, I'll revive this topic and ask anaconda developers to participate here too." 17:32:56 * roshi to grep all the things 17:33:03 displaying our usual efficiency 17:33:26 welp, guess I'll set the fuse 17:33:30 3... 17:33:46 Nature is on the line, and it's a call I should really take :p 17:33:48 2... 17:34:17 adamw: well, a minimal amount of time was spent on the topic since that happened ... so it could be seen as a kind of efficiency :) 17:34:30 tflink: i'll take it! 17:34:36 roshi: don't get the fuse wet. 17:34:36 1... 17:34:44 * roshi will do his best 17:34:48 thanks for coming folks! 17:34:51 #endmeeting
