Meeting summary

  1. Roll Call (jreznik, 17:00:50)
  2. Purpose of this meeting (jreznik, 17:03:57)
    1. Purpose of this meeting is to see whether or not F26 Final is ready for shipment, according to the release criteria. (jreznik, 17:04:24)
    2. This is determined in a few ways: (jreznik, 17:04:26)
    3. No remaining blocker bugs (jreznik, 17:04:27)
    4. Release candidate compose is available (jreznik, 17:04:29)

    1. RC 1.5 is available for release validation (jreznik, 17:05:58)
    2. we have 8 accepted blockers (of which 4 are VERIFIED, 4 ON_QA) and 5 proposed blockers (jreznik, 17:06:52)
    3. RC 1.4 is available too - we have the potential choice of releasing either (or neither) (jreznik, 17:07:17)

    1. The bugs up for review today are available at: (roshi, 17:09:47)
    2. http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/current (roshi, 17:09:47)
    3. The criteria for release blocking bugs can be found at: (roshi, 17:09:47)
    4. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_26_Alpha_Release_Criteria (roshi, 17:09:47)
    5. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_26_Beta_Release_Criteria (roshi, 17:09:49)
    6. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_26_Final_Release_Criteria (roshi, 17:09:52)

  5. (1467368) totem doesn't work in VMs under Wayland (roshi, 17:10:13)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1467368 (roshi, 17:10:13)
    2. Proposed Blocker, clutter, NEW (roshi, 17:10:13)
    3. AGREED: - RHBZ#1467368 - The general consensus is that this bug can be worked around and only affects specific configurations and is not considered a blocker. Work-arounds will be annotated on the Common Bugs page. (roshi, 17:21:18)

  6. (1461283) [abrt] kamoso: QByteArray::QByteArray(): kamoso killed by signal 11 (roshi, 17:21:25)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1461283 (roshi, 17:21:28)
    2. Proposed Blocker, kamoso, NEW (roshi, 17:21:31)
    3. AGREED: - RHBZ#1461283 - While it would be great to handle this failure case in a more graceful way, it doesn't qualify as a blocker. (roshi, 17:23:51)

  7. (1468239) discover crashes in setupFlatpakInstallations() (roshi, 17:24:00)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1468239 (roshi, 17:24:00)
    2. Proposed Blocker, plasma-discover, NEW (roshi, 17:24:01)
    3. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?component=plasma-discover&list_id=7558879&product=Fedora (mattdm, 17:28:48)
    4. AGREED: 1468239 - AcceptedBlocker (F27 Final) - Clearly violates criteria and should be an F26 Final blocker. However, discovered very late in a release cycle that's already delayed, and we believe the best course for Fedora's hybrid time/quality-based release schedule is to have a process for waiving cases like this to block the *next* release, as we have occasionally done before. Accepted as an F27 blocker. We will draft a formal policy soon. (adamw, 17:45:20)

  8. (1467599) Unable to start domain: the CPU is incompatible with host CPU: Host CPU does not provide required features: svm (roshi, 17:46:58)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1467599 (roshi, 17:47:01)
    2. Proposed Blocker, qemu, MODIFIED (roshi, 17:47:03)
    3. AGREED: - RHBZ#1467599 - AcceptedBlocker - This bug is a clear violation of the Default Application Functionality criterion. Luckily, this is fixed in the 1.5 RC. Thanks for the quick work. (roshi, 17:57:21)

  9. (1370222) session/apps fail to start if hostname changes during boot due to network (infamous xauth issue) (roshi, 17:57:35)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1370222 (roshi, 17:57:38)
    2. Proposed Blocker, sddm, NEW (roshi, 17:57:41)
    3. AGREED: #1370222 - AcceptedBlocker (F27 Beta) - Conditional violation of 'system must boot to a desktop' criterion, on boots after KDE install, on libvirt 3.2+ VMs using libvirt NAT (and possibly other unknown DHCP servers). Some workarounds are available. As libvirt complication was discovered late and fix will likely not appear soon, we agreed to make this a Fedora 27 Beta blocker (see #1468239 discussion of time vs. quality). (adamw, 18:18:47)

  10. (1466887) Fedora 26 Final build of fedora-release-notes needed (roshi, 18:20:30)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1466887 (roshi, 18:20:30)
    2. Accepted Blocker, fedora-release-notes, ON_QA (roshi, 18:20:31)
    3. https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/26_RC-1.5/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/f/fedora-release-notes-26.02-2.fc26.noarch.rpm (adamw, 18:21:40)

  11. (1387733) Blank screen after boot on Raspberry Pi (roshi, 18:22:09)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1387733 (roshi, 18:22:09)
    2. Accepted Blocker, kernel, ON_QA (roshi, 18:22:09)

  12. (1466914) Fedora 26 Final build of spin-kickstarts needed (roshi, 18:23:41)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1466914 (roshi, 18:23:41)
    2. Accepted Blocker, spin-kickstarts, ON_QA (roshi, 18:23:41)
    3. https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/26_RC-1.5/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/s/spin-kickstarts-0.26.1-1.fc26.noarch.rpm (adamw, 18:24:32)
    4. This package has been updated and the fix is VERIFIED. (roshi, 18:26:37)

  13. (1404285) TrackerDirectConnection crashes from sqlite3DbMallocRawNN (roshi, 18:26:38)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1404285 (roshi, 18:26:41)
    2. Accepted Blocker, tracker, ON_QA (roshi, 18:26:44)
    3. We did our best to verify this one, it seems to be fixed (adamw, 18:34:31)

  14. Test Matrices coverage (adamw, 18:36:54)
    1. RC-1.5 and RC-1.4 are almost identical, only qemu differs between them, so let's consider RC-1.4 results acceptable (adamw, 18:39:41)
    2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1370412 (adamw, 18:42:37)
    3. missing tests: install_to_SAS, Boot_Methods_Xen_Para_Virt , install_to_FCoE_target (adamw, 18:48:50)
    4. AGREED: Xen_Para_Virt test should be demoted to Optional and criteria adjusted as Oracle does not seem to be providing testing any more (adamw, 18:51:07)
    5. AGREED: SAS and FCoE testing have been missed due to hardware availability, this has happened before and we consider it unfortunate but acceptable; note it appears FCoE was broken in F25 and appears to be at least less broken in F26 (adamw, 18:54:12)
    6. with the above notes / provisos, test coverage is substantially complete (adamw, 18:54:32)

  15. Go/No-Go decision (jreznik, 18:55:05)
    1. AGREED: Fedora 26 Final status is go (RC-1.5) by Release Engineering, QA and Development (jreznik, 18:58:40)
    2. mattdm had an idea - let's do retrospective! (jreznik, 19:00:46)
