15:00:22 <pwhalen> good morning
15:01:09 <pwhalen> whos here today?
15:01:58 <hrw> o/
15:03:23 <bconoboy> howdy
15:03:32 * pbrobinson is here
15:03:55 <pwhalen> cool, thanks for coming guys
15:04:13 <pwhalen> #topic 1) ==== Package Status & Issues  ====
15:04:25 <pwhalen> pbrobinson, hrw how does aarch64 look?
15:04:49 <pbrobinson> so rawhide was pushing 3200+ packages behind
15:05:04 <pbrobinson> so I've worked around the gdb/python test case bug
15:05:21 <pbrobinson> it seems along with _EVERY_ other non x86 platform
15:05:39 <pbrobinson> so we're in company..... whether it's good I'll leave that to the viewer
15:05:57 <pbrobinson> anyway, with that and appropriate koji-shadow bits in place
15:06:15 <pbrobinson> we should start to bring those numbers down quite a bit over the next couple of days
15:06:30 <pbrobinson> and any other issues will bubble to the top
15:06:39 <pbrobinson> so basically rawhide is moving forward
15:06:43 <pwhalen> nice
15:06:46 <pbrobinson> in terms of F-22
15:07:08 <pbrobinson> I spent some time on Sunday going through the full 15K odd packages and seeing what we don't have
15:07:18 <pwhalen> #info Rawhide moving forward after work around of gdb/python test case bug.
15:07:25 <pbrobinson> fixed a bunch of issues, cleaned up some builds and pushed updates
15:07:45 <pbrobinson> other than the ghc related crap all the rest is looking pretty good
15:08:36 <pwhalen> #info F22 looking pretty good (aside from ghc issues)
15:08:42 <pbrobinson> with luck the updates should land before freeze, fingers crossed
15:08:45 <pwhalen> anything to mention that need to be looked at?
15:09:16 <pbrobinson> kylem is (hopefully) going to look closer at gdb and friends this week
15:10:02 <pbrobinson> and there's nothing else really that I'm aware of at the moment but let shadow catch up a bit and we'll know more
15:10:20 <pwhalen> ok, sounds good. thanks pbrobinson
15:10:28 <pbrobinson> the other thing is I'll reach out to the mono 4 feature person
15:10:29 <pbrobinson> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Mono_4
15:11:04 <pbrobinson> and ensure that all non x86 architectures are coordinated as part of it so we don't end up with another mess there
15:11:39 <pwhalen> nice, well in advance of f23
15:11:59 <hrw> Mono did not died yet?
15:12:25 <pbrobinson> hrw: with microsoft opening up more of .NET it seems it's suddenly relevant again
15:12:45 <pbrobinson> either way it either needed to be updated or dropped altogether
15:13:10 <pwhalen> alright, lets move on
15:13:13 <pwhalen> thanks pbrobinson
15:13:15 <pwhalen> #topic 2) ==== F22 armhfp - TC1 ====
15:13:21 <pwhalen> #info === Please help test, add results to the wiki
15:13:21 <pwhalen> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Summary
15:13:31 <pwhalen> #info == Identified Issues so far ==
15:13:36 <pwhalen> #info Firefox segfaults on armhfp
15:13:36 <pwhalen> #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211660
15:13:59 <pwhalen> this one is embarrassing. not included in our release blocking desktop, but it should be fixed for final
15:14:47 <pwhalen> mate and workstation would be affected, thoughts?
15:14:53 <pbrobinson> has it been proposed as a blocker?
15:14:57 <pwhalen> i think thats all that use ff
15:15:15 <pbrobinson> can we get an abrt report?
15:15:16 <pwhalen> not yet, i will propose.. see what happens
15:15:36 <pbrobinson> good to see the firefox maintainer hasn't made a single comment
15:15:55 <pwhalen> i tried to run through gdb and hit the other bug
15:15:56 <pbrobinson> I noticed FF-38 should be on it's way soon so might be worth retesting with that
15:16:33 <pwhalen> ok, didnt notice that, will test
15:17:13 <pwhalen> if its not fixed I'll propose as a blocker. not release blocking desktop so Im not sure it will be accepted. but we'll see
15:17:40 <pwhalen> right, so then ran into this when i tried with gdb
15:17:44 <pwhalen> #info GDB fails with Cannot parse expression `.L1055 4@r4'.
15:17:44 <pwhalen> #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1196181
15:18:52 <pbrobinson> kylem is going to look @ that this week. I wonder if that's a blocker too because we can't use abrt (is abrt reporting a blocker?)
15:21:28 <pwhalen> not popping up at me in the criteria, but will continue to look
15:21:35 <pwhalen> sounds liek it should be
15:22:02 <pwhalen> #info F22 Beta RC1 progress bar does not update
15:22:02 <pwhalen> #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1210042
15:22:45 * jonmasters late due to phone but here now
15:23:11 <pwhalen> this one is more cosmetic, doesnt update as it installs, but the install does finish. doesnt seem to happen on systems with more ram
15:23:22 <pwhalen> ie highbank
15:23:53 <pwhalen> #info no visible mouse cursor on some arm boards
15:23:53 <pwhalen> #info accept blocker, fixed with xorg-x11-server-1.17.1-10.fc22
15:23:53 <pwhalen> #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1205725
15:24:02 <pwhalen> accept blocker and fixed.
15:24:06 <pwhalen> *accepted
15:24:12 <pwhalen> #info text not GUI initial-setup runs on Xfce install
15:24:12 <pwhalen> #info note - not limited to Xfce
15:24:12 <pwhalen> #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1185447
15:24:27 <pbrobinson> this has been an issue for a number of releases
15:24:41 <pbrobinson> I'm going to try and document the usecase/bug
15:25:15 <pbrobinson> and then I believe I have a workaround, if not ideal, we can use for F-22 because I think it'll  be too late to fix in F-22 cycle properly
15:25:46 <pwhalen> great, will update the bz with your suggestion?
15:26:36 <pwhalen> but thats about all the issues ive hit, or am aware of.. anyone else?
15:26:44 <pbrobinson> I'll do an update on the BZ this afternoon
15:26:49 <pwhalen> thanks
15:27:46 <pbrobinson> I've seen an issue with the Panda-ES booting. It gets to about starting journal/udev and hangs but I've not had time to look, would love if someone else with the HW could have a look and see if they can work out why or if it's just me / my HW
15:29:31 <pwhalen> ok, vanilla panda dropped to emergency for f22 beta, will take a look at TC1
15:30:07 <pwhalen> moving on..
15:30:17 <pwhalen> #topic 3) ==== F22 Beta for Aarch64 released April 20th! ====
15:30:17 <pwhalen> #link https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2015-April/001571.html
15:30:50 <pbrobinson> yay!
15:31:03 <pwhalen> w00t! :)
15:31:21 <pwhalen> and pbrobinson tells me we should have a TC1 later this week.
15:31:24 <pbrobinson> jonmasters: I never got the details of your testing... how did you get on?
15:33:13 <pwhalen> any thoughts on the beta?
15:35:11 <pwhalen> #topic 4) ==== Kernel Status ====
15:35:36 <pbrobinson> so I enabled ACPI on aarch64 rawhide and it landed in 4.1rc2 builds
15:35:58 <pwhalen> #info ACPI enabled on aarch64 rawhide and it landed in 4.1rc2 builds
15:36:17 <pwhalen> nice!
15:36:37 <pbrobinson> I think that built, or will be built soon so please test
15:36:40 <pwhalen> if people could give it a whirl, that would be fantastic
15:36:51 <pbrobinson> not sure why I'm asking that.... not like we get any feedback anyway
15:37:00 <bconoboy> hrw: would you give 4.1rc2 a whirl?
15:37:18 <pbrobinson> I'm sure hrw will and feedback when he gets a moment
15:37:47 <pbrobinson> other than that I did some smallish cleanups to configs
15:37:47 <pwhalen> #link https://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=275443
15:37:57 <hrw> bconoboy: sure
15:38:01 <pbrobinson> there's not much else different to 4.1rc1
15:38:15 <pbrobinson> on either ARM platforms
15:38:42 <pbrobinson> and I've had no feedback from anyone really on 4.0 so I'm assuming that must be _PERFECT_!!
15:39:29 <pwhalen> riight :)
15:39:52 <pwhalen> ok, anything else worth noting on the kernel?
15:40:08 <pbrobinson> not that I can think of
