Bug-by-bug detail
=================

Accepted blockers
-----------------

1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1164492 - gnome-boxes - ASSIGNED
   Please drop libvirt 'default' network dependency for F27 GA, disrupts livecd networking

This is a 'greatest hit' we've had to deal with for several releases now.
Everyone involved more or less knows what the deal is, we just need to
make the change and send out an update.

2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1486002 - grub2 - NEW
   grub2-mkconfig does not work if xen.gz is installed.

This one seems to be well understood and being worked on by pjones and
Konrad (our Xen contact). We just need the proposed fix to be verified
by Konrad and then sent out as an update.

3. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1491320 - kernel - NEW
   heavy screen flicker with latest kernels in qxl+spice VM

We've been kicking this one around for a while, but as of today it seems
like a kernel-side fix for it may be possible. We now need folks to test
and confirm the proposed kernel fix, and kernel team to send out an
update containing it (assuming it works).

4. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1494061 - gnome-software - NEW
   gnome-software doesn't show F25->F27 upgrade even though it should

This one seems quite straightforward - Fedora 25 doesn't show F27 as
an option for upgrade, even when the gsettings setting to show development
releases is toggled. We need the devs to take a look at this and fix it.

5. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1498207 - libdnf - VERIFIED
   DNF crash during upgrade installation F26 -> F27

This one seems to be pretty much addressed; in fact an update which two
reporters claimed already fixed the issue went stable a week ago. There's
a newer update now marked as fixing the bug, so I am asking in the bug
for clarification as to whether the newer update is really required to
fully fix this bug.

Proposed blockers
-----------------

1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1503496 - anaconda - POST
   FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'grub2-mkconfig'

This looks like a fairly clear-cut blocker (the bug entirely prevents
Mac installs from working, I think). I have proposed a fix for this; need
pjones / anaconda folks to review and apply it, and send out an update.

2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1489942 - dbxtool - MODIFIED
   dbxtool fails at boot 'Could not apply database update "DBXUpdate-2016-08-09-13-16-00.bin": Permission denied'

AFAICS this is aarch64-specific, so cannot be accepted as a blocker.
pjones keeps trying to fix it, but without any success so far.

3. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1504059 - distribution - NEW
   Include Firefox 57 at compose

This is basically a 'make a choice' bug, there's no difficult work needed
here as the package is already available (and tested and karmaed).

4. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1497691 - dnsmasq - ON_QA
   CVE-2017-14491 CVE-2017-14492 CVE-2017-14493 CVE-2017-14494 CVE-2017-14495 CVE-2017-14496 dnsmasq: various flaws [fedora-all]

This is already accepted as an FE, and the update is available and
karma'ed, so there's no work needed here, it'll just get closed when we
do another stable push.

5. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1500834 - kernel - MODIFIED
   VirtualBox: black screen on fedora 27

I'd say it's relatively unlikely we'd take this as a blocker, but in
any case, a fix appears to be available and in a kernel build already,
so we'll likely pull it in along with other required kernel fixes. We'll
just need people to verify the fix once it's in an official update.

6. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1501762 - kernel - ON_QA
   CVE-2017-5123 kernel: Missing access_ok() checks in waitid() [fedora-all]

This bug is kinda representing several kernel CVEs the team wants fixed
as part of the release. Again the update is already there, so the only
work needed here is for QA to verify the kernel works OK.

7. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1501362 - microcode_ctl - NEW
   Intel microcode not updating --> [Firmware Bug]: TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata; please update microcode to version: 0x25 (or later)

I would say this is unlikely to be a blocker (as it doesn't seem to have
any really bad consequences, just a scary warning message). It may be
worth an FE. Fixing it shouldn't be a lot of work, the packager only needs
to update our bundle of Intel microcode updates (it hasn't been updated
since July).
