It hurts when I jump up and down ten times!" 17:14:10 I'm not +1 here for sure, but I wanted to have it discussed in case someone has other opinions 17:14:12 "Well, don't do that then." 17:14:13 arm is the new i386 :) 17:14:22 I'm +0/+1 more or less 17:14:31 +1 nth 17:14:32 Viking-Ice: there is a check, but it's getting hidden, apparently 17:14:37 +1 nth if the fix is simple 17:14:50 sounds like we're mostly -1/+1 17:14:53 -1/+1 (in case of simple check) 17:15:00 -1 blocker 17:15:15 as do we want to block on arm image not booting on i386? (yeah, extreme case but) 17:15:39 -1 blocker 17:16:02 proposed #agreed 851265 - RejectedBlocker, AcceptedNTH - While this is inconvenient, it is easily workaround-able (don't boot an image that your arch can't support) it is rejected as a blocker for F18 final. However, some warning message would be nice and a tested fix would be considered past freeze. 17:16:05 jreznik: the issue is not in "not booting", that's not a good comparison 17:16:13 ack 17:16:16 ack 17:16:20 ack 17:16:34 ack 17:16:37 #agreed 851265 - RejectedBlocker, AcceptedNTH - While this is inconvenient, it is easily workaround-able (don't boot an image that your arch can't support) it is rejected as a blocker for F18 final. However, some warning message would be nice and a tested fix would be considered past freeze. 17:16:42 kparal: as I said - extreme comparison 17:16:42 #topic (873220) dracut ignores /etc/modprobe.d blacklist 17:16:45 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873220 17:16:47 Bug 873220: unspecified, unspecified, ---, dracut-maint, NEW , dracut ignores /etc/modprobe.d blacklist 17:16:47 #info Proposed Blocker, dracut, NEW 17:17:39 the reported issue is that dracut is ignoring kernel module blacklists 17:18:06 one of the more obvious symptoms of this is if you blacklist nouveau or radeon so that you can use nvidia or fglrx 17:18:07 +1 nth 17:18:15 this is already accepted nth 17:18:27 but the blocker votes in bug were pretty inconclusive 17:18:28 does not count I did not vote ;) 17:18:59 so nouveau/radeon can't be blacklisted at this time? 17:19:06 -> nvidia/fglrx can't be used? 17:19:09 not through the rd.blacklist 17:19:11 * jreznik is more -1 blocker - as how far nvidia/fglrx is something we support... and as far as I understand it should be fixable by update 17:19:11 btw why are we voting on something that does not have input from the maintainer ( harald ) ;) 17:19:16 or manually 17:19:40 Viking-Ice: I believe he proposed it 17:20:10 tflink: yep but seems he does not understand the process 17:20:16 tflink, not seeing harald anywhere in that bug report 17:20:16 i am +1 nth 17:20:24 as he proposed bugs "I'd like to work on for F18" 17:20:37 Viking-Ice: he's in the history as marking this as blocking F18 final 17:20:54 Viking-Ice: harald@redhat.com 2012-11-29 10:33:47 EST Blocks 752661 17:21:01 yeah, that's a crappy reason. 17:21:22 I think this doesn't really have to be a blocker, can be fixed afterwards. and opensource drivers should work, so at least basic usage (if not gaming) is possible 17:21:25 and I really think he just misunderstood the process - to be wishlist 17:21:25 he proposed 5 or so blockers (last week, I think) 17:21:36 great! 17:21:52 kparal: +1 17:21:55 IIRC, none of which had justifications or criteria violations 17:21:57 I think we all agreed that the aggreed nth is accepted hence let's move on to next 17:22:01 so I'm defintely -1/+1 17:22:23 tflink: indeed - he used it as wishlist/todo-list for f18 17:22:24 i'm with viking - we've gone with nth, it seems impossible to determine blocker 17:22:38 it is? 17:22:53 i guess we could do -1. 17:23:00 adamw: yep 17:23:04 though i only see one -1 vote. 17:23:06 we could punt, I suppose 17:23:14 this can be fixed via update why punt 17:23:16 tflink: what would "punt" help here? 17:23:35 Viking-Ice: could you just -1 blocker to move on :) 17:23:40 if it's impossible to make a decision due to votes, what other choice do we have? 17:23:50 tflink: everyone voted -1 blocker 17:23:51 ignore it and hope it goes away? 17:24:25 jreznik, - blocker + nth 17:24:28 I see -2/+1 blocker including in-bug votes 17:24:39 unless I'm missing something 17:24:39 -1 from me 17:24:44 jreznik: the info i requested may show up 17:24:49 -1 from me too 17:24:53 on anything specific that it breaks 17:24:55 tflink: I don't see any +1 17:25:05 i'm okay with -1 at this point, we could re-propose if info arrives, i guess. 17:25:05 c#8 17:25:19 adamw: ok 17:26:18 proposed #agreed 873220 - RejectedBlocker - Given our understanding at this time, this mostly affects the third-party graphics drivers which does not violate any F18 release criteria and could be fixed with an update. Therefore rejected as a blocker for F18 final (already accepted as NTH, a tested fix would be considered past freeze) 17:26:24 ack 17:26:31 ack 17:26:33 Sergio doesn't attend the meetings, I think we can't accept anybody's votes, but just votes from people we know they understand the process and they are around for some time. is that a heretic thought? 17:26:34 ack 17:26:36 ack 17:26:42 ack 17:26:49 kparal: yep 17:26:49 #agreed 873220 - RejectedBlocker - Given our understanding at this time, this mostly affects the third-party graphics drivers which does not violate any F18 release criteria and could be fixed with an update. Therefore rejected as a blocker for F18 final (already accepted as NTH, a tested fix would be considered past freeze) 17:27:07 kparal: when i was doing the voting i took them into account using a highly sophisticated weighting process which i made up in my head as we went along :P 17:27:08 definitely from in-bug voting, because you can't talk to that person and ask for details 17:27:10 kparal: I don't think that blocker votes should be exclusive 17:27:12 er, counting the voting 17:27:36 in bug voting cant be approved until here on the meeting 17:27:44 #topic (881670) Provide fedup hook to add x-systemd.device-timeout=0 to mount options for encrypted file systems that need a passphrase from the user 17:27:47 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=881670 17:27:49 Bug 881670: unspecified, unspecified, ---, systemd-maint, NEW , Provide fedup hook to add x-systemd.device-timeout=0 to mount options for encrypted file systems that need a passphrase from the user 17:27:50 #info Proposed Blocker, systemd, NEW 17:27:53 I'd like us to skip this one 17:28:01 punt it is 17:28:05 we still don't have enough information to decide here 17:28:10 there still seems a lot of confusion about it too. 17:28:10 we discussed it on monday 17:28:24 I'm getting more information, but it takes time 17:28:31 again? this one... punt today, we can back later to this one 17:28:41 #info there is still a lot of confusion around this issue and there is currently not enough information to make a decision on blocker status. will re-visit when there is more info 17:28:48 ack 17:28:49 * tflink moves it to his "needs info" list 17:28:50 kparal: any help needed with nagging people? /me got skilled during f18 release cycle... 17:29:09 jreznik, club not good enough ;) 17:29:10 jreznik: I'll contact you tomorrow if I can't get hold of somebody 17:29:51 kparal: ok 17:30:08 #topic (870753) [abrt] gnome-font-viewer-3.6.0-1.fc18: load_font_infos: Process /usr/bin/gnome-font-viewer was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV) 17:30:11 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=870753 17:30:14 Bug 870753: unspecified, unspecified, ---, tiagomatos, MODIFIED , [abrt] gnome-font-viewer-3.6.0-1.fc18: load_font_infos: Process /usr/bin/gnome-font-viewer was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV) 17:30:14 #info Proposed Blocker, gnome-font-viewer, MODIFIED 17:31:03 so I'm not so clear on the status of this one but it sounds like it might have been somewhat fixed 17:31:13 but in retrospect, this probably isn't so ready for discussion 17:31:20 I'm fine with the trible U distro's font not working 17:31:27 ;) 17:31:29 there are conflicting reports of crashing vs. error message 17:31:31 'Install Failed' - it still fails critaria... 17:31:41 c#16 17:31:48 "There is no segfault any more (gnome-font-viewer-3.6.1-1.fc18), the font is installed but the dialog says 'Install Failed'" 17:31:58 if we ask Cosimo he will push a patch 17:32:04 but c#17 is a crash with the same version 17:32:28 c#18 says its installed 17:32:32 I think it crashes just once, then it behaves like in c#18 17:32:34 fixable via update right 17:32:38 assuming that it is still crashing, thoughts on blockery-ness? 17:32:56 yeah, though for this particular criterion, anything that breaks it is 'fixable with an update' 17:33:05 it's arguably part of the system menus, though 17:33:12 the criterion is a) for polish (it's the kind of thing lots of casual testers/reviewers hit) and b) for live images 17:33:43 we used to have embarrassing reviews where there'd be something like 'how could they possibly release this when (commonly-used-application X) just crashes?!' 17:33:46 could anyone try to rebuild it with the patch referenced by cosimo? 17:34:04 i'd be +1 blocker if it's still crashing, -1 if it just behaves as described in #18 17:34:27 sounds like punt to me 17:34:37 punter indeed 17:34:51 punt, ask for the patch to be built, retest 17:34:54 i will go with punt as c# 18 is kinda confusing 17:35:33 sounds good 17:35:57 * kparal is installing gnome-font-viewer 17:36:16 proposed #agreed 870753 - It's still unclear on whether this is still crashing or just failing. We need more info on current behavior before deciding on blocker status. Request that a new gnome-font-viewer be built with the in-bug patch and testing with the new version to determine current behavior. 17:36:23 patch 17:36:30 s/just failing/just displaying a bogus error/ 17:36:36 comment #18 says "the font is installed" 17:36:58 proposed #agreed 870753 - It's still unclear on whether this is still crashing or just displaying a bogus error message. We need more info on current behavior before deciding on blocker status. Request that a new gnome-font-viewer be built with the in-bug patch and testing with the new version to determine current behavior. 17:37:04 thanks, missed that part 17:37:06 ack 17:37:08 ack 17:37:24 * kparal just tested that 17:37:24 ack 17:37:39 first click on Install did nothing, second click said "installation failed" 17:37:51 no crash 17:38:03 hum, change to -1? :) 17:38:06 ack 17:38:12 wait 17:38:29 hmm, now it completely disappeared, but abrt says nothing 17:38:48 segfault in console 17:38:50 abrt silent 17:38:54 so it crashes 17:39:10 but it seems just in some cases, in other cases it says 'installation failed' 17:39:19 still does not change my ack to the proposal 17:39:25 * jreznik just pinged cosimo... 17:39:30 yeah, that sounds more questionable, so back to ack. 17:39:57 any changes to nak? 17:40:26 hmm, +1 blocker? crashes 17:40:27 ack for me 17:40:37 but punt it fine as well 17:40:42 #agreed 870753 - It's still unclear on whether this is still crashing or just displaying a bogus error message.

I think it was fixed in previous releases 17:43:57 ah 17:44:00 and "first impression" not vote of confident if our system crashes at firstboot now is it ;) 17:44:17 what's our criterion here? 17:44:19 Viking-Ice: true 17:44:23 Welcome to Feodra < crash> 17:44:26 hehe 17:44:36 view it as 'realistic setting of expectations' :P 17:44:37 c#1 no criterion 17:44:58 there's a criterion about firstboot, isn't there? 17:45:05 "In most cases, a system installed according to any of the above criteria must boot to the 'firstboot' utility on the first boot after installation, without unintended user intervention ...

18:47:16 +1 quits I need to go home from work and start cooking ;( 18:47:23 or we could do nth, I suppose 18:47:25 mean ;( 18:47:30 mean ;) 18:47:46 eh, maybe we should just get some work done after open floor 18:47:53 kparal: I think so, yes 18:48:21 tflink: we could do proposed nth which are >=modified 18:48:25 some of them will be in the next meeting if there is no response from "hey, did this fix actually do anything?" 18:48:43 kparal: wouldn't those not need NTH status? 18:48:59 right. i'm generally of the opinion it's not worth doing NTH until close to freeze. 18:49:03 since NTH status only matters post-freeze. 18:49:09 hmm 18:49:18 tflink: you might be right 18:49:46 any objections to ending the meeting for today (assuming that kparal is ok with it?) 18:49:58 #topic Open Floor 18:50:07 * kparal feels like a big troll now 18:50:14 sure I'm OK with it 18:50:27 anything else to discuss before we end the meeting? 18:50:38 I have a question. 18:51:08 other than the in-bug voting part - what do people think about me filtering bugs that are more-or-less ready for discussion before the meetings? 18:51:34 tflink: that's a great idea, if you are willing to do that 18:51:51 I think we still need approve votes here on the meeting 18:51:52 certainly helps a lot to speed up the process 18:52:12 (talking about the pre-meeting filtering) 18:52:23 ah like that 18:52:31 Viking-Ice: like I said, I'm not talking about inbug voting. just the filtering of stuff that needs more info and testing etc. 18:52:44 I don't think we're going to have much more in-bug voting anyways 18:52:49 tflink, if you or anyone else is willing to do the work 18:53:03 I am, for now. assuming that I don't go crazy 18:53:13 but some help working through the "needs testing" list would be much appreciated 18:58:50 * tflink notes that delay is due to conversation in fesco meeting 19:01:15 I gotta run anyway 19:01:45 my take is we should not release until we have a working gui for fedup... 19:08:29 shouldn't we just #endmeeting? 19:11:45 oh i got one question 19:12:24 on using the weak root password anaconda does not prompt a warning 19:12:55 is this feature removed from new anaconda ?? 20:11:58 oh yeah, I suppose I should end the meeting 20:12:28 anyone have an issue with not having another blocker review meeting this week? 20:14:24 #info if no need is seen before then, the next blocker review meeting will be on 2012-12-05 @ 17:00 UTC 20:14:37 * tflink sets fuse for some small amount of time 20:14:46 * tflink will send out minutes shortly 20:14:51 Thanks for coming, everyone 20:14:54 #endmeeting
