Recent discussion has thrown up some confusion on the state of the package release system (including on my part :), so here is a reminder of what needs to be done on currently pending packages. See bottom for some notes on these lists. Packages in state RESOLVED (ie exist in updates-testing) that need active work. ------------------------------------------------------------------ mailman - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1269 There were some unconfirmed reports of breakage with the candidate. This needs more QA before release. mod_python - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1325 Needs 2 VERIFY before release. ethereal - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1419 Needs 2 VERIFY before release. - but dup with 1840? tcpdump - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1468 Needs 1 VERIFY before release. kernel - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1484 Needs missing file rebuilt for verification - but preferentially put work into later kernel ticket mozilla - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1532 Needs 2 VERIFY but has been superceded lha - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1547 Needs 2 VERIFY but has been superceded cadaver - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1552 Needs 2 VERIFY before release. rsync - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1569 Needs 2 VERIFY but has been superceded. flim - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1581 Needs 2 VERIFY before release. squid - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1732 Needs 2 VERIFY before release. squirrelmail - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1733 Needs 2 VERIFY before release (also double check no new issues have cropped up) xchat - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1549 Needs 2 VERIFY before release. Packages in state UNCONFIRMED, NEW, ASSIGNED or REOPENED: -------------------------------------------------------- * yum - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1583 IMO this shouldn't be in the Package Request component close WONTFIX re rh8? vsftp - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1778 Resolution of whether we are vulnerable needed. * kernel - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1797 VM (non-security) bug in rh9 that was never fixed before EOL. Looks to me like this should be closed WONTFIX. * rpm - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1864 No rationale given for bug request - the rh bug it refers to dates from before rh7.3 EOL. WONTFIX? * readline - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2017 Another not fixed before EOL (rh9). WONTFIX? XFree86 - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1289 This has had 2 PUBLISHes for 7.3 and the only problem holding it back was likely a gdk-pixbuf red herring. Packages should be built for this and pushed to updates-testing I think. gaim - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1237 Needs new vulnerability to be investigated and fixes built. netpbm - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1257 Needs 2 PUBLISH kdelibs - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1373 Needs 2 PUBLISH (superceded?) * cal - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1439 Should be closed WONTFIX IMO yum - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1604 Needs 2 PUBLISH mod_ssl - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1708 Needs 2 PUBLISH for rh9 - superceded? mod_ssl - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1888 Needs 1 PUBLISH for rh7.3 - superceded? krb5 - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1726 Obsoleted mod_proxy - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1737 Has 2 PUBLISH, build packages for updates-testing or fix further minor non-security issues libxml - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1324 Sort out confusion over status over version in updates-testing and add RESOLVED flag. gdk-pixbuf - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1371 Packages built for updates-testing and/or a couple of formal PUBLISH needed. sysstat - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1372 Need 2 PUBLISH - 7.3 only I think mc - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1548 Need 2 PUBLISH (but superceded?) libpng - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1550 Superceded libpng - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1943 Need 2 PUBLISH tripwire - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1719 Resolve problems with how to version and build fix kernel - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1804 Need 2 PUBLISH apache - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1805 Is this redundant? XFree86 - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1831 Check how this stands with the other open XFree86 bug mysql - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1832 Needs 1 PUBLISH but superceded? lha - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1833 Verify all patches are there, and make updated SRPMs available. mozilla - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1834 Needs 2 PUBLISH ethereal - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1834 Needs PUBLISH for rh9 php - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1868 Needs PUBLISH, especially for rh7.3 abiword - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1906 Needs PUBLISH, especially for rh9 subversion - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1907 Analysis and build fixed packages samba - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1924 Needs PUBLISH, especially for rh9 gnome vfs - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1944 Needs 2 PUBLISH sox - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1945 Needs PUBLISH - rh9 status? glibc - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1947 Needs PUBLISH qt - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2002 RPM needs work rsync - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2003 Needs PUBLISH gdk-pixbuf - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2005 Analyse and see whether relevant mysql - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2006 needs work ruby - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2007 needs work kdelibs - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2008 Needs analysis mc - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2009 Needs work pam_wheel - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2010 Needs PUBLISH krb5 - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2040 Fix broken 7.3 packages, then QA mod_ssl - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2041 Needs work zlib - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2043 Needs work * kernel - https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1614 close WONTFIX? Reporter gone AWOL. General (non-package bugs) -------------------------- * https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1599 applies to rh8 only - WONTFIX? * https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1437 applies to rh8 only - WONTFIX? * https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1586 applies to rh8 only - WONTFIX? https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1963 Website needs fixing https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1652 Website fix? Notes ----- I marked a few duplicate bugs as CLOSED to make the RESOLVED query more useful (and less overwhelming!) but then stopped as I realised this may be not what people expect. Any opinions on this? I don't particularly see any reason to keep dups in any other state, as they by definition to not describe anything that isn't recorded elsewhere. Needs PUBLISH means that there are packages available for QA that need to be QAd at the source level. Needs VERIFY means that there are updates-testing packages that need testing. This is the easy bit, let's get this old ones out of the way ASAP. I'll endeavour to do this more often... Hopefully we can get lots of things ready for the new build server to crunch on :) * means that there is a judgement call that can be made on the bug system immediately. Please follow up onlist with opinions. Cheers, Dominic.
