" 16:32:03 which doesn't apply here 16:32:23 no 16:32:37 like i said, we can just call this one as we see it, we did decide that for kickstart bugs a couple of cycles back. 16:32:41 i'm at least +1 FE 16:33:01 and i do like cmurf's argument about how if we keep not caring about btrfs it'll never get any better, so i can see +1 blocker... 16:33:21 he heard you 16:33:31 :) 16:33:32 tflink: it's a bit more specific than that, I think 16:33:37 "which is a problem when you are removing a device with the same spec (label, in this case) as one you are creating" 16:33:47 adamw: but with this approach maybe +1 Final blocker would be good enough? 16:33:50 * jreznik still does not get why we complicate our life with brtfs now, it's not default and never be :) 16:33:51 +1 blocker 16:33:59 so its btrfs volume creation fails if there's already a btrfs volume with the same name at the start of installation 16:34:02 * cmurf heard the ether say "btrfs" and then realized the time 16:34:07 =) 16:34:29 which is most likely to happen if you're doing a reinstall from a 'stock' kickstart, i guess. 16:35:44 kparal: yep, -1/+1 now, let's accept it as final one (maybe later) 16:36:00 kickstart should work at beta time 16:36:14 Viking-Ice: actually we don't have that criterion 16:36:28 we are good at adding criteria in midst of the cycle 16:36:29 I was supposed to pick some subset of commands that were supposed to work 16:36:31 so let's just add one 16:36:39 but never got to it 16:36:56 Viking-Ice: the problem is defining 'kickstart should work' 16:37:07 you can do just about anything at all with a kickstart, so it's in restricting the scope 16:37:17 adamw, not really it should atleast work to the same extent as the ui does 16:37:21 I agree that "part" would be probably in the must-work selection 16:37:24 right, i suggested that earlier 16:37:30 I'm +1. This seems to me as the way of 'custom partitioning' 16:37:35 " we COULD just say that as far as partitioning goes, the interactive criteria apply to kickstarts..." 16:37:45 yep 16:37:48 in that case it's +1 16:37:49 i'd defer to dlehman because this likely is a depencency for fixing other things 16:37:49 would we consider this a blocker in interactive mode? (maybe it actually happens in interactive mode?) 16:38:03 I think so 16:38:22 dlehman seems to be AFK, but it's possible 16:38:28 +1 and let's go 16:38:46 to the pub ? 16:38:46 (although we will never release this year this way) 16:38:49 if the dev wants it as a blocker I'd tend to give it 16:38:59 because that way, it gets more testing in beta 16:39:07 if it's rejected, it's going to go in final anyway 16:39:08 kparal, after all those years you know we never release on time anyway 16:39:14 cmurf: actually the act of proposing doesn't mean +1 blocker 16:39:14 yet not get as much testing (possibly) 16:39:51 cmurf: you could say that about anything 16:39:54 yeah i came in a wee bit late so I'm probably partially in a conversation with myself 16:39:58 pschindl: let's propose acceptedblocker 16:40:03 this is only pure kickstart 16:40:05 i think there's enough +1s anyway 16:40:10 kparal: working on it 16:40:18 followup patch is ready to push 16:40:42 if it's ready it doesn't matter if its a block or FE does it? 16:41:01 it matters upon tracking it 16:41:10 proposed #agreed 1022206 - AcceptedBlocker - This bug doesn't violate any criterion but is very close to the 'When using the custom partitioning flow, the installer must be able to: Remove existing storage volumes and Create mount points backed by ext4 partitions, LVM volumes or btrfs volumes' 16:41:13 ack 16:41:29 cmurf: it does slightly, in that if it's only FE and the fix turns out to be bad, we can just back it out. 16:41:30 ack 16:41:32 ack 16:41:36 ack 16:41:40 ack 16:41:52 #agreed 1022206 - AcceptedBlocker - This bug doesn't violate any criterion but is very close to the 'When using the custom partitioning flow, the installer must be able to: Remove existing storage volumes and Create mount points backed by ext4 partitions, LVM volumes or btrfs volumes' 16:41:55 not crazy about the wording there, but close enough - ack 16:42:11 i'll fix it in post 16:42:14 :P 16:42:18 #topic (1008633) ValueError: invalid target size request 16:42:19 there is no justification for why it's a blocker, yet doesn't violate any criteria 16:42:21 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1008633 16:42:23 #info Proposed Blocker, anaconda, POST 16:42:26 adamw: Thanks a lot :) 16:42:27 pschindl: I told you! 16:42:46 actually, the patch for 1022206 probably fixes several similar bugs lurking in other ks storage commands 16:42:55 yeah, it always made me wonder why I tried so hard to get it right in meeting when I knew the wording wouldn't survive to ba :) 16:43:05 bz 16:43:12 +1 16:43:17 +1 16:43:24 +1 16:43:30 tflink: the meeting summaries are easier to access 16:43:48 +1 16:43:50 +1 16:43:52 +1 16:44:04 -1. 16:44:11 this criterion does not apply to shrinking and is not supposed to. 16:44:12 so the NTFS resize crashes in custom? i only tested guided. 16:44:22 adamw: I used custom part screen 16:44:23 adamw: but it crashes 16:44:23 once again, we only 'support' shrinking to a limited extent in final. 16:44:29 eh 16:44:46 still, apply the last-bug-at-go-no-go criterion 16:44:50 it's easy to say +1 when it's POST, i know 16:44:51 point 16:45:11 -1/+1 16:45:14 I'm firm +1. you open up custom part, click on partition and provide a different size without a unit. crash 16:45:17 is it easy to delay the release for a week because you can crash the installer in custom part by trying a shrink? ehhh. 16:45:25 kparal: yeah, i'm aware of what the bug is. ;) 16:45:30 still, looks like i'm outvoted. 16:45:33 * jreznik is guilty of seeing POST the same way how red flag works for bull 16:45:50 adamw: I could want to enlarge it as well 16:45:51 but yeah, please try to imagine how you'd vote if there was *not* a patch.

Does someone want to change his mind? 16:48:04 :) 16:48:06 based on policy I'm +1 blocker 16:48:19 but I think the policy could stand modification, that crashes aren't that big of a deal in beta 16:48:26 would you be +1 if it crashed for ext4 that you want to reuse as root? 16:49:11 it just crashed for me for this use case ^^ 16:49:30 kparal: possibly because even ext4 devs aren't so gung ho about it being shrunk 16:49:39 click on ext4, provide size without unit, add mount point /, add reformat, click update -> crash 16:50:06 cmurf: no, this is about anaconda not expecting user to provide value without a unit 16:50:30 I'm +1 due to anaconda crashing 16:50:37 For me this really sounds like violation of mentioned criterion. +1 from me 16:50:40 kparal: i'd settle this bug, I'm having a totally hypothetical conversation that is way out of scope 16:51:08 it's a blocker based on policy that the installer shouldn't crash, pretty much ever, for any reason 16:51:26 +3 total is enough to go ahead with proposal 16:51:28 for invalid operations, which is providing a size without a unit 16:51:31 proposed #agreed 1008633 - AgreedBlocker - This bug violates criterion: "When using the custom partitioning flow, the installer must be able to: Reject or disallow invalid disk and volume configurations without crashing." 16:51:37 ack 16:51:44 patch 16:51:47 AcceptedBlocker 16:51:52 kparal: yes presumably if the installer shouldn't crash for invalid operations, it shouldn't crash for valid ones either 16:51:54 :) 16:51:56 oh, I read right over that 16:52:00 kparal: thanks 16:52:02 ack 16:52:16 proposed #agreed 1008633 - AcceptedBlocker - This bug violates criterion: "When using the custom partitioning flow, the installer must be able to: Reject or disallow invalid disk and volume configurations without crashing." 16:52:27 ack 16:52:29 ack/nack/patch ? 16:52:33 ack 16:52:34 ack 16:52:36 cmurf: that would be a long debate ;) 16:52:46 ack 16:52:52 #agreed 1008633 - AcceptedBlocker - This bug violates criterion: "When using the custom partitioning flow, the installer must be able to: Reject or disallow invalid disk and volume configurations without crashing." 16:53:03 kparal: not really because if it crashes for a valid operation, then it's guilty of not completing the will of the user, which violates a number of other criteria 16:53:03 #topic (1020111) devicetree.py:1294:addLV:ValueError: 'File descriptor 3 (/tmp/anaconda.log) leaked on lvm invocation.

" 17:03:47 simple enough. 17:03:56 this is a conditional breach of that. 17:04:00 ok 17:04:06 seems like it'd make sense to have a criterion that the installer cannot crash on startup when run on its own (unmodified) product 17:04:11 for crashes anywhere post-launch which we don't specifically cover, "When using the dedicated installer images, the installer must be able to complete an installation using the text, graphical and VNC installation interfaces.

We can't make it be stable on secondary but uupdates-testing on primary 17:46:50 why do you need it to be stable? 17:46:57 you can build against stuff in u-t, iirc. 17:47:10 adamw: poppler is part of gnome - it's blocking their release, i iamgine 17:47:14 er, used in gnome 17:47:28 adamw: wow, I wasn't aware poppler is so progressive 17:47:34 so if poppler can't build due to a subpackage failure, they can't build stuff like a pdf reader 17:47:42 I got it now 17:47:45 we can build since we force it in 17:48:16 but user experience can potentially break if e.g. they don't have updates-testing enabled, a package isn't stable, but it's a dependency of something they want 17:48:40 * adamw still +1, let's just move on. 17:48:43 * Viking-Ice turns on highlander 2 which is about much waste of time discussing this 17:48:44 so it's a lesser of two evils vote 17:48:44 +1 17:48:46 +1 FE 17:49:00 viking-ice no highlander 3 17:49:04 +1 FE 17:49:06 proposed #agreed 1005482 - AcceptedFreezeException - Not sure about wording.

This will need further discussion. 18:24:53 regarding it being the default josef will push for that when he thinks it's ready 18:24:53 as for this bug, it's a blocker and we'll have to ask dlehman about it 18:25:10 ( which is not now ) 18:25:18 Viking-Ice: understood but xfs is not default but still has quality parity with ext4 if something doesn't work 18:25:41 Viking-Ice: you can offer it and warn about "technology preview" 18:25:43 Viking-Ice: so the question is do we block on btrfs for the same things not working as ext4 and xfs or lvm, etc. or do we cut the devs slack 18:25:45 let's move on and discuss after meeting. 18:25:56 pschindl: agreed 18:26:00 sure 18:26:02 #topic (1012504) FSError: filesystem already exists 18:26:05 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1012504 18:26:06 do we want to ask fesco now on brtfs plans? 18:26:06 practically speaking, we really need at least an estimate from anaconda team on how long it's going to take to address all the outstanding blockers 18:26:07 #info Accepted Blocker, anaconda, ASSIGNED 18:26:27 adamw: that's the present question that matters, yes 18:26:29 jreznik: i'd rather not lob a very vague 'we're worried about btrfs' bomb at fesco 18:26:29 here's another one 18:26:31 jreznik, fesco dont have any plans until josef proposes it I would think 18:26:40 jreznik: with our knowledge of how focused fesco meetings tend to be 18:26:53 * adamw tends to think of fesco as a small infant to be spoon fed very precise things in easily digestible packages 18:26:59 rofl 18:27:02 adamw: :D 18:27:25 it could end with brtfs default for f20, sure, move on 18:27:36 if we just say 'hey, btrfs, what do you think?' they're likely to wind up with a proposal to move up the release five months and remove raid support, or something. 18:27:41 jreznik, no it couldn't 18:27:43 :P 18:28:04 anywho 18:28:07 NEXT 18:28:13 ok so the current bug is reproducible 18:28:24 it was marked as blocker but closed because it wasn't reproducible at that time 18:28:49 Reartes came up with reproduce steps, I've confirmed. So it's a blocker now, reopened. 18:29:31 gist is that you use the recommended btrfs layout (boot is on ext4) and you get an explosion when anaconda tries to reformat the newly created btrfs volume as ext4 18:30:23 but there is no movement on this one right? 18:30:26 i posted a screencast, it's easily reproducible 18:30:28 no 18:30:39 so like the previous two, ask dlehman for update 18:30:39 ok another one which doesn't move on. 18:31:06 jreznik: Would you ask dlehman about all his blockers? 18:31:28 add it to jreznik list ;) 18:31:28 pschindl: yeah, hope he won't kill me :) 18:31:41 #action jreznik to ask dlehman about status of all his none moving blockers. 18:31:42 just start the conversation with "about this btrfs stuff" 18:31:47 jreznik: thank you :) 18:32:14 wrap it all into one nice package with sparklers attached 18:32:26 #info There is no progress in 1012504 too. 18:32:45 #topic (1010495) Apple Mac EFI: you have not created a bootloader stage1 target device 18:32:48 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1010495 18:32:50 #info Accepted Blocker, anaconda, ASSIGNED 18:33:09 bcl 18:33:15 mac efi fix? 18:35:22 a week ago it was in refinement, it's possible this is rolled into the biosboot fix from earlier 18:35:48 possible, but the anaconda folks are usually pretty good about marking bugs as the code is submitted 18:35:53 he told me, he's going to take a look this week last time I talked to him early this week 18:35:58 i didn't hit this bug with unpatched 20.25.2-1 yesterday 18:37:03 hmmm 18:37:11 hmmm? 18:37:24 well if it hasn't been patched i'm not sure why i didn't run into the bug 18:37:54 planetary alignment 18:37:55 cmurf: miracle? :) 18:38:45 i'm a bug magnet, so maybe my charge was off last time i tested 18:38:49 anyone to retest? 18:39:04 otherwise I'll ask bcl later/or anyone else to ping him later 18:39:12 jreznik: send me mac and I will gladly test it :) 18:39:18 pschindl: you have a mac 18:39:27 or did you guys get rid of the mini 18:39:56 ok with 20.25.2-1 i'm not getting this error that's all i can say 18:39:57 tflink: you are right.
