Hi, folks - it's time to start bugging you all about Beta blockers! This post will list out all the current blockers and give a quick status note and action request (if any) for each. We are currently on Beta TC2, the first build with the anaconda 'noloader' change, which is causing some fairly large bugs. RC1 is scheduled to be built *on Thursday*: by policy, all the accepted blockers must be addressed for us to build RC1. So please, take a look at the 'action item checklist' - the summary of all actions required, for the impatient - and make sure you're taking care of any you can to help us get the RC built on time! Thanks everyone.

Accepted blockers ----------------- 1. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804454 - "Fedora-17-Beta-TC2-i686-Live-KDE.iso is oversized (703 MiB)" This one is in hand, with the dependent bug http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804451 "zenity depends on webkitgtk3 ": there is an update to drop zenity's webkitgtk3 dep which will fix the problem. That update needs karma, so please test and vote on it! https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/zenity-3.2.0-4.fc17 2. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538499 "IPv6-only network attachment fails, due to IPv4 addressing being considered mandatory" 3. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=798697 "The default IPv6 mode is "Ignore" for implicit/ifcfg-less connection profiles (e.g. wired ethernet)" A NetworkManager build which should address these two issues (and many others) is available for testing: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/NetworkManager-0.9.3.997-0.7.fc17 . Please test and karma it - not just with IPv6 connections, but with all connections (make sure there are no regressions). 4. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742207 "No usable bootloader option during a text mode f15->f16 upgrade" This in theory should be fixed in Beta TC2, but we can't confirm that because another bug, mentioned later, makes it un-testable. No action possible till TC3/RC1. 5. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=787893 "Anaconda needs to handle /usr move preparation on upgrade for F17" This one should be fixed in TC2, action is on QA team to re-test and confirm. So let's do that! 6. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796155 "iface_ip2str returned NULL" I believe this one too should be fixed in TC2, or at least there's a chance of it. Action on QA team to re-test and confirm. 7. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804446 "cannot fresh install from DVD" This is the big new bug in TC2: the anaconda 'noloader' changes seem to have prevented install from DVD from working correctly (it does not use the packages on the DVD, instead always downloading them from repositories). Action is on anaconda team to fix this ASAP. 8. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804483 "text install fails with traceback for 17 Beta TC2" This is another big bug in the new anaconda: text install seems to be entirely broken. Again we're waiting for anaconda team to fix it. 9. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=798373 "live image failed to boot in 3 runlevel" This one ought to be fixed in TC2, and it's on QA team to test and confirm that. The update that fixes it - https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-2922/firstboot-17.0-1.fc17 - needs karma, too. 10. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736993 "error install bootloader with serial interface install" This one should be fixed in TC2, and requires QA re-testing. 11. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=800205 "kernel panic after running preupgrade" This one may be fixed with the new anaconda, but given how preupgrade works, we can't test until anaconda >= 17.13 goes stable, because only then will it show up on the mirrors where preupgrade gets its anaconda image from, so no action possible for now. 12. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=591630 "DHCPv6 responses are not allowed by default ip6tables ruleset" iptables is replaced by firewalld, as of today: this change will show up in TC3 / RC1. firewalld should properly allow DHCPv6. There is a live image available for testing this - http://adamwill.fedorapeople.org/firewalld/firewalld-20120319-x86_64.iso - which I built today. It has firewalld and the NetworkManager build that should allow IPv6 connections to work OOTB. The firewalld update - https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-3940/firewalld-0.2.4-1.fc17 - needs karma. 13. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=745202 "gnome-shell does not display correctly with many NV3x and NV4x adapters" We need Ben Skeggs and the desktop team to work together on a Shell blacklist entry for these adapters, until the driver is fixed. This will be an update to gnome-session. 14. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754568 " [abrt] gnome-shell-3.2.1-6.fc17: _int_free: Process /usr/bin/gnome-shell was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)" This is the 'Shell frequently crashes in a qxl/Spice KVM' bug. There is an xorg-x11-drv-qxl build that is intended to fix it and, in my testing, does - https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-3887/xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.22-0.fc17 . That build is in TC2, so this bug is 'fixed' in TC2. However, the comments on the update claim there is a corruption bug associated with it, so the maintainer does not want to push it stable. We need the maintainers of this driver to decide if they want to fix the corruption bug and, if so, to do so before Thursday, or else push the fix we have. 15. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804451 "zenity depends on webkitgtk3" This is discussed above as part of the KDE oversize bug. Proposed blockers ----------------- 1. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804541 "anaconda failed to load the updates.img" This needs votes on blocker status, from the people who usually show up to blocker reviews. It seems like a fairly straightforward blocker to me. Then we need anaconda team to fix it: they are working on this. 2. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804716 "after minimal 17 Beta TC2 install, network service doesn't work" This also needs blocker status votes, it's rather more of a borderline issue. I suspect it may wind up getting fixed as a side effect of the other 'noloader' issues, but that's just my guess. 3. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=790239 "gnome-system-log depends on gnome-utils, which is obsoleted." This also needs blocker status votes, and is a clear blocker - it's the bug that prevented the desktop live from composing for TC2. There is an update that fixes it, I have confirmed that the update allows a desktop live image compose to succeed. Please test and karma https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-4138 . 4. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804083 "firewalld is not allowed to write a temporary file to /etc/firewalld if started with systemd" Tore Anderson tells me (if I'm understanding correctly) that this is another IPv6-preventing issue - it stops firewalld being able to allow DHCPv6 to work. My IPv6-testing live image (see above) includes the fix for this: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/selinux-policy-3.10.0-103.fc17 , which needs karma, so please test and karma it. This bug obviously also needs blocker status votes. Thanks for reading, everyone!
