15:03:43 * pbrobinson o/
15:04:46 <pwhalen> alright, lets get started
15:04:54 <pwhalen> #topic 1) ==== Userspace Status  ====
15:05:33 <pwhalen> #info Firefox FTBFS - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1523912
15:05:41 <pbrobinson> there's preparations for mass rebuild in F-28 including things such as gcc8 and new glibc/binutils etc
15:06:23 <jlinton2> Hmm has anyone trial built firefox/chrome with gcc8/aarch64?
15:06:39 <jlinton2> That might be something to get a start on given what happened with F27
15:06:39 <pbrobinson> we've tweaked the compiler flags a little fro ARMv7 to use the generic ARMv7-A flags, rather than the old options of Cortex-A8, so that should give some minor perf bumps on newer SoCs
15:07:18 <pbrobinson> there's also likely some failures around the newer tightened toolchain flags for security
15:07:30 <pbrobinson> I don't think there's anything there particularly ARM specific
15:08:05 <pbrobinson> I have an outstanding query around VFP flags
15:08:11 <pbrobinson> but they should be resolved today
15:08:22 * jsmith joins late
15:08:59 <jlinton2> Also, here is the current upstream status with hexchat/luajit
15:09:00 <jlinton2> https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues/2116
15:09:03 <pbrobinson> welcome jsmith
15:09:35 <pbrobinson> jlinton2: thx
15:09:54 <jlinton2> They acknowledged it but havent done anything yet, the best short term plan might be to disable luajit in hexchat/aarch64
15:10:40 <jlinton2> Its just a plugin for running user scripts
15:11:21 <pbrobinson> that should be easy enough as I suspect there's a luajut conditional already for arches that don't have it, happy to push that for you jlinton2
15:12:15 <jlinton2> Thanks,
15:12:46 <pwhalen> any other userspace issues?
15:13:40 <pwhalen> #topic 2) ==== Kernel Status ====
15:13:51 <pwhalen> #info Latest - kernel-4.15.0-1.fc28
15:13:51 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1021748
15:14:30 <pbrobinson> so 4.15.0 is out, even a .1 too, from the kernel maintainers we can expect a rebase late Feb so if people want to test and report issues let us know. Overall it looks good from my testing
15:15:18 <pwhalen> same, not hit any unreported issues
15:15:36 <jlinton2> pbrobinson: Your koji build fixed the HDMI transmitter issue on hikey.
15:16:02 <pwhalen> #info Please test and report any issues to the list or #fedora-arm.
15:16:28 <pbrobinson> jlinton2: cool, yes, that change wasn't in the 4.15 rawhide build, it also fixed a related issue on Dragonboard too
15:16:37 * pbrobinson o/L:4
15:17:53 <pwhalen> #topic 3) ==== Bootloader Status ====
15:18:04 <pwhalen> #info uboot-tools-2018.03-0.1.rc1.fc28
15:18:04 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1022079
15:18:40 <pbrobinson> there's a few minor issues there, most should be fixed by the end of the week in a 0.2.rc1 build
15:18:50 <pbrobinson> jlinton2: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=24753459
15:19:36 <jlinton2> pbrobinson: That was fast, thanks I will try it.
15:19:54 <pwhalen> so if youre using an aarch64 sbc, wait til the next build to test uboot
15:22:07 <pwhalen> #info Rawhide install fails on reboot due to incomplete efi boot menu entry
15:22:17 <pwhalen> #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1542141
15:23:19 <jsmith> I think I just hit that one on my Pine64 :-/
15:24:24 <pbrobinson> jsmith: there was another one also with a broken grub
15:24:27 <pwhalen> I think this one only affects new installs, new efiboot menu entries
15:24:57 <pwhalen> the broken grub was previous, this build fixed that, but introduced a new problem
15:25:32 <pwhalen> shimaa64.efi boots fine when selected in the efi shell
15:26:11 <pwhalen> any other bootloader issues?
15:27:45 <pwhalen> #topic 4) == Open Floor ==
15:27:46 <pbrobinson> jsmith: what release did you see issues with?
15:28:47 <jlinton2> copr, how do I go about getting aarch64 support?
15:28:59 <jlinton2> should I bring this up in the general fedora meeting?
15:29:22 <pbrobinson> jlinton2: almost there, the HW is in place, I'll be following up this week, I think I might be the vlocker here
15:29:26 <pbrobinson> blocker
15:29:51 <jlinton2> Great!
15:30:17 <pbrobinson> jlinton2: I'm hoping all done by the end of the month
15:31:08 <jsmith> pbrobinson: Rawhide, as of about a week ago (maybe)?
15:31:23 <jsmith> I don't remember exactly which day I was playing with it
15:31:30 <pbrobinson> jsmith: that might be the same issue if it was a fresh image
15:32:08 <jsmith> pbrobinson: It was a fresh image
15:33:57 <pbrobinson> anyone with anything else?
15:36:58 * jsmith has nothing further
