15:05:55 <pwhalen> #topic 1) ==== Userspace Status  ====

15:06:18 <pwhalen> #link Needing Rebuild: https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mass-rebuild/f30-need-rebuild.html
15:07:11 <pwhalen> think we'll know more next week
15:07:21 <pwhalen> any other known issues?
15:07:37 <pbrobinson> yes, it usually takes a week or so for things to settle out and get a compose we can test
15:08:14 <pbrobinson> jlinton: have any luck with firefox?
15:08:42 <jlinton> I've gotten it to build part of the way, by hacking up their logging system (I mostly commented it out)
15:08:53 <jlinton> but it doesn't run
15:09:44 <pwhalen> :(
15:09:45 <jlinton> (but this is on rawhide)
15:09:58 <jlinton> so, I need to do what was suggested and build it under f28
15:10:05 <jlinton> f29
15:11:10 <pwhalen> thanks for working on it, jlinton
15:11:51 <jlinton> I will spend some more time this week
15:12:23 <pwhalen> great.
15:12:27 <pwhalen> any other user space issues?
15:14:36 <pwhalen> #topic 2) ==== Kernel Status ====
15:14:37 <pbrobinson> none I'm aware of
15:15:18 <pwhalen> #info F29: kernel-4.20.6-200.fc29
15:15:18 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1184932
15:15:29 <pwhalen> just started to update to this kernel. not aware of any issues
15:15:46 <pwhalen> anyone see anything?
15:16:26 <pbrobinson> I've not seen any side effects or reports of issues with 4.20.x in general, it seems to be pretty decent all around
15:16:42 <jlinton> Well, I guess this is where I mention that amdgpu needs a tweak for now.
15:17:23 <jlinton> We should flip the logic that checks if arch has WC until a patch gets merged upstream
15:17:34 <jlinton> then at least people with modern AMD cards can use them.
15:18:24 <pbrobinson> jlinton: this is the patch we discussed yesterday right? I was going to pull in the current latest upstream while they sort out the final iteration
15:18:35 <jlinton> Yes
15:18:54 <pbrobinson> I believe it also affects nvidia cards too, like that in the 96boards developer box
15:18:54 <jlinton> I don't know where its merged, but none of the 5.x rc's have it
15:19:09 <jlinton> Well that board has been working AFAIK
15:19:35 <jlinton> I have a 710 and a GT9600 in arm machines that are working
15:19:59 <pbrobinson> I thought they made the nvidia stuff slow, where it broke amd altogether
15:20:37 <jlinton> I'm not running benchmarks so I don't know
15:20:42 <pbrobinson> anyway, I was planning on pulling it into f29 for 4.20 and rawhide
15:20:52 <jlinton> I'm just doing basic desktop use cases
15:21:43 <jlinton> and without that WC patch my RX550 locks up very quickly (sometimes before the desktop has been initially drawn)
15:23:07 <pwhalen> #info F30: kernel-5.0.0-0.rc5.git0.1.fc30
15:23:07 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1205621
15:23:15 <jlinton> Although granted the machine with the 710 is running a 4.19 kernel
15:25:06 <pwhalen> I've also not tested this one yet, so if anyone see issues please let us know
15:25:15 <pwhalen> #info Please test and report any issues to the list or #fedora-arm.
15:25:32 <pwhalen> any other kernel news?
15:25:48 <pbrobinson> nothing from me
15:27:11 <pwhalen> #topic 3) ==== Bootloader Status ====
15:27:38 <pwhalen> no new uboot build this week
15:27:45 <pwhalen> has anyone hit issues with uboot-tools-2019.01-1.fc30?
15:28:22 <pbrobinson> I'm expecting u-boot 2019.03 rc1 soon, might be today or maybe it's next week, but it's not far off
15:28:30 <pwhalen> ok
15:29:04 <pwhalen> #info U-Boot 2019.03 rc1 expected RSN.
15:29:20 <pwhalen> looks like we also got a new grub2 build
15:29:46 <pwhalen> #info grub2-2.02-68.fc30 now available for testing in Rawhide.
15:30:38 <pbrobinson> once the mass rebuild is done and we have a compose I'll move 90% of my systems over
15:31:00 <pwhalen> #topic 4) == F30 ==
15:31:21 <pwhalen> #info Latest nominated nightly - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test
15:31:21 <pwhalen> #info F30 Beta Blockers
15:31:21 <pwhalen> #link https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/30/beta/buglist
15:32:52 <pwhalen> we have some images failing again due to size issues, some changes are expected to reduce installed packages so we'll wait before bumping the image sizes again (Mate, LXQt)
15:33:17 <pwhalen> of the blockers, for Beta I have seen the xfs one, though I think its fixed now
15:33:38 <pwhalen> and there is a final bug for dbus-daemon that affects the arm images
15:34:01 <pwhalen> #info dbus-daemon is enabled (but fails to start) after live install
15:34:10 <pwhalen> #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1658739
15:34:22 <pbrobinson> I thought they had fixed that, woo
15:35:52 <pwhalen> yea, I think they have agreed on the fix, but we wait for the implementation
15:35:56 <pwhalen> anything else?
15:36:40 <pbrobinson> I'm  working on the armv7 uefi feature, hoping to have that working soon
15:37:30 <pwhalen> excellent!
15:37:43 <pwhalen> #topic 5)  == Open Floor ==
15:40:06 * pwhalen will close the meeting in 2 minutes
