Here's my notes from today's Fedora rel-eng meeting. Outline-style summary, for the impatient: Beta status: "meh" • not much testing on anaconda due to rewrite • blocker list is thus not very long • package signing is in progress (up to r*, skipped p*) ∘ This takes a long time since it's basically done by hand ∘ "< f13> I'd also like to reduce the times we have to resign the world, by going to a single key for each release instead of one for test and one for release" • Keep signing packages, make some draft composes ∘ draft composes start today (if possible) ∘ test results go here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_11_Beta_Install_Test_Results Full IRC log is attached. Enjoy! -w
--- Log opened Mon Mar 16 14:06:27 2009 14:06 < f13> There are only a couple blocker bugs, but a lot of that has been because we haven't been able to install rawhide in may configs due to the storage rewrite 14:06 < f13> there are still /lots/ of changes being made there each new anaconda build, which is scary 14:07 < f13> (and good?) 14:07 < rdieter> scary good 14:07 < f13> I don't have a good handle on whatelse is broken, I haven't seen a test results wiki page yet 14:08 < f13> I /think/ the compose tools are in shape, but I hear there is an install from live issue due to storage rewrite 14:08 < f13> Package signing continues to progress. I skipped the "p" packages and am currently signing the r* packages 14:08 -!- hanthana [n=hanthana@xxxxxxxxxxxx] has quit [Remote closed the connection] 14:08 < f13> I didn't get to signing as much over the weekend as I had hoped to :/ 14:09 < f13> thankfully the signed bits have been landing as they were done, rather than one giant pile at the end 14:09 -!- Pikachu_2015 [n=Pikachu_@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] has joined #fedora-meeting 14:09 < dgilmore> there is not really any way to sign packages without entering the password lots of times is there? 14:10 < f13> well, I think in theory sigul can work in an automated way 14:10 < f13> without having an admin present for each passphrase entry 14:10 < f13> but we're not there yet 14:10 < dgilmore> rigth 14:11 -!- mizmo [n=duffy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] has joined #fedora-meeting 14:11 < f13> I'd also like to reduce the times we have to resign the world, by going to a single key for each release instead of one for test and one for release 14:11 < dgilmore> i think that makes sense 14:11 < f13> or have just one rawhide key period and one release key per release 14:11 < dgilmore> its what i planned on doing for sparc 14:11 < f13> something along those lines so that we don't churn the world 2x a release 14:12 < dgilmore> i was going to do 1 per release 14:12 < dgilmore> never a rawhide key 14:12 < dgilmore> but a F-11 key that would sign rawhide 14:12 < f13> Infrastructure is clearing off enough space so that we can land the beta on the master mirror 14:12 < f13> to do this, 7 and 8 are being archived 14:12 < dgilmore> that in turn moves seamlessly to F-11 14:14 -!- tkjacobsen [n=tkjacobs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] has quit [Remote closed the connection] 14:14 -!- tkjacobsen [n=tkjacobs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] has joined #fedora-meeting 14:15 < f13> so my plan is to keep signing packages, get compose-x86 and compose-ppc in well tested shape to make the images, and start making some draft images to play with 14:15 < f13> won't be RCs until the bugs are clear and the packages are signed, but pre-rcs can be used for testing 14:15 -!- fedora-angel [n=angel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] has joined #fedora-meeting 14:16 < f13> Does anybody have any further thoughts on Beta? 14:16 < dgilmore> nope 14:16 -!- RodrigoPadula [n=Rodrigo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] has joined #fedora-meeting 14:16 < wwoods> when do you expect to make the first of the test composes? 14:16 < f13> perhaps today if I don't get distracted 14:17 < f13> otherwise keep using rawhide 14:17 -!- RodrigoPadula [n=Rodrigo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] has quit [Client Quit] 14:17 < wwoods> cool. 14:17 < notting> what does this do to the schedule? 14:17 < f13> wwoods: can you see to it that we get a wiki page up for test results? 14:18 < f13> notting: well, I told anaconda team that I needed a solid tree by Wed 14:18 < f13> in order to compose/stage and release next Tuesday 14:18 < wwoods> f13: will do 14:18 < f13> notting: I'm hoping signing will be done by then too 14:18 -!- Pikachu_2014 [n=Pikachu_@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] has quit [Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)] 14:18 < f13> we should have the tree well tested minus any last minute storage bugs 14:20 < poelcat> f13: so that give us wed to fri to make sure it is good? 14:21 < f13> well, we can start picking off test items now 14:21 < f13> we'll have to re-verify them after Wed, but at least we'll know they should be working due to testing now 14:21 -!- giallu [n=giallu@fedora/giallu] has joined #fedora-meeting 14:24 < wwoods> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_11_Beta_Install_Test_Results created 14:27 -!- lfoppiano_ [n=lfoppian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] has joined #fedora-meeting 14:27 < f13> alright thanks 14:27 -!- f13 changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Fedora releng - open floor 14:27 < f13> anything else anybody wants to talk about? 14:28 < skvidal> my feelings 14:30 -!- thomasj_ [n=thomasj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] has joined #fedora-meeting 14:30 -!- thomasj__ [n=thomasj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] has joined #fedora-meeting 14:30 < f13> *** END **** 14:30 < f13> thanks all --- Log closed Mon Mar 16 14:30:34 2009
