Time for the first Fedora 18 Final blocker status update. This will be a big one, folks, strap yourselves in! As usual, this is an attempt to let everyone know where we are with the current blocker list: what bugs we still need fixes for, where we need further testing, karma and/or information. To hit the current schedule we need to basically be done - have a viable RC - by the end of this week. *All* the accepted blockers at least need to be addressed by then. Here is a summary of required action, for those who don't have time to read the whole thing: Summary ------- The following updates need testing and karma: * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-18.37.3-1.fc18 * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/shim-signed-0.2-3.2.fc18 * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lorax-18.24-1.fc18 * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/cloud-init-0.7.1-2.fc18 * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9-36.fc18 * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-20368/plymouth-0.8.8-5.fc18 The following bugs require developer attention: anaconda team ------------- * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=858628 * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873224 * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=875944 * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=876716 * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879187 * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=885378 * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=885912 * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887236 * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=877658 (proposed) * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=883699 (proposed) * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886647 (proposed) * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887539 (proposed) * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=888089 (proposed) * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886061 (proposed) haraldh ------- * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=874486 * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=860525 * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=881670 * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=880271 * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=881670 others ------ * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=830434 - NetworkManager folks * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=876218 - systemd folks * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=882212 - systemd folks * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873817 - jciesla * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=875846 - lorax folks The following bugs require further information or testing from QA folks / reporters aside from karma: * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=880263 - Mark Hamzy * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=876789 - Jes Sorensen * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886314 - boblfoot or others * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=882212 - Jan Vcelak Accepted blockers ----------------- 1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=830434 - "Omits "IPV6INIT=yes" from kickstart-generated ifcfg-* file" This needs fixing in NetworkManager's ifcfg-rh plugin writer. jirka has posted a patch in the bug, it needs applying and we need a NetworkManager update that includes it. 2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=858628 - "Some buttons and labels in Anaconda can't be localized" This became a kind of catch-all bug. The last bit that Chris really figures is a part of this bug now has a patch posted, so should wind up in an anaconda build soon, then we can close it out. 3. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873224 - "TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects" dlehman is still working on this one, as of 4 days ago. We need him to finish working on it and push it to an anaconda build. 4. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=874486 - "progress indicator for mediacheck isn't displayed, so users may think the installer is hung" Harald has posted a patch for this, but we are still waiting on a build/update including the patch so far as I know. 5. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=875944 - "Shrink function in 'Reclaim space' dialog does not allow user to specify target size, automatically picks smallest possible size" We need anaconda team to decide what to do about this, and do it. 6. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=876218 - "kernel boot + nfsiso repo = hang on reboot" We're still trying to track this down, really: it needs some input from the systemd developers. Kay, Lennart? 7. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=876716 - "anaconda crashes after setting root password" This is a very tricky threading issue between anaconda and yum and RPM. It's under discussion on the anaconda list ATM, but we need to pick a fix and go with it. 8. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879187 - "NFS in RC1 regressed vs. TC9: does not override inst.stage2 when passed as inst.repo, interactive NFS is impossible" sbueno is supposed to be working on this one, we are waiting on the fix. 9. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=880263 - "DMError: partition activation failed for 'mpatha'" This should be fixed in TC3, needs to be verified and the anaconda update needs karma. Mark, can you check this for us? 10. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=885378 - "Install to existing encrypted LV fails (AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name')" This one has been a blocker for a week without any movement. We need anaconda team to take a look at it. 11. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=885912 - "Resize of NTFS partition results in partition smaller than the filesystem, broken Windows install" clumens is looking into this one, we need a fix to test. 12. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887236 - "UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe6 in position 3: ordinal not in range(128)" We need anaconda team to look into this one. Probably python problems. 13. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887363 - "cloud-init 0.7.1 change prevents creation of ec2-user" This is to do with EC2 usage. A fix is available, we need EC2 users to verify that it works and provide karma on https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-20389/cloud-init-0.7.1-2.fc18 . 14. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887357 - "workaround for for appliance creation in koji" This is to do with creating appliance images, particularly the EC2 images we create these days. Need releng to confirm the fix and provide karma here, I think. fix is https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9-36.fc18 15. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=880271 - "Wrong keyboard layout in initramdisk" This one has also been blocker for a week with no movement, needs dracut team to look into it. 16. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=883075 - "fedup upgrading is too quiet" There is actually a proposed fix now: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-20368/plymouth-0.8.8-5.fc18 . Will suggests a test method in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879295#c31 . We need to test and karma the update. 17. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873817 - "inkscape packaging bugs prevent install" We thought this was fixed, but it appears to still happen in TC3. We need the maintainer (Jon Ciesla) to see if they can figure out why it's still broken. 18. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=876789 - "FormatDestroyError: error wiping old signatures from /dev/md/Volume0_0p2: 1" The fix for this should be in TC3, so it needs re-testing. As Jes is best able to reproduce this, it'd help if he could test it. Fix is https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-19873/lvm2-2.02.98-4.fc18 and is in stable - if the fix is confirmed the bug could be closed. Proposed blockers ----------------- 1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=877658 - "[i18n] some storage-related error messages not marked for translation: "Not enough free space on disks for automatic partitioning"" This is a more specific translation issue. Always hard to know where to draw the line on these, but it's likely to be accepted as at least NTH, so it'd be good if anaconda team can look at it. 2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=883699 - "Changing LV name in custom partitioning crashes installer (TypeError: Argument 2 does not allow None as a value)" Seems to be related to changing the name of an LV in custom partitioning. Likely to be accepted as at least NTH, so be good if anaconda team can work this into an update (a fix has been posted). 3. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886314 - "MDRaidError: md_node_from_name failed: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/md/root'" Seems related to certain software RAID-10 installation scenarios, but dlehman could not reproduce. We need to figure out more details on the cause. 4. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886647 - "Anaconda throws exception trying to setup network" It seems like we need more info on the cause here to determine blocker status, but the reporter has provided the info requested by vpodzime, so it may be up to anaconda team to determine cause at this point. 5. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887201 - "unable to place the root filesystem(/) on a xfs(ext3)formatted partition" This one is tested fixed in current anaconda build, so it just needs karma and can be closed out. Would probably be accepted as a blocker. 6. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887539 - "FormatDestroyError: error wiping old signatures from /dev/sdb2: 1" We are still trying to determine the precise situation here, and whether it's a dupe of an existing bug or a different case. Need input from the anaconda team. 7. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=888089 - "ValueError: A RAID0 set requires at least 2 members" This seems to be fairly clearly explained, and I'd guess it'd be accepted as a blocker. Need anaconda team to look at fixing it. 8. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=860525 - "dracut-pre-pivot[272]: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs," This one still isn't really clear at all, but seems to be somehow to do with mount options on NFS installs. It would help if Harald could clarify exactly what's going on here - he seems to understand, but hasn't explained. 9. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886061 - "core fedora repository error must be fatal, otherwise the upgraded system might be broken heavily" This is a potential problem with fedup upgrades if contacting the main repo somehow fails. We need input from wwoods on how bad the impact of this may be in the shipped configuration (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886061#c10 ) 10. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=875846 - "[i18n] "ON" and "OFF" not translated in switches on DVD (gtk30.mo not on DVD)" Another translation issue. This one may be obvious enough that it doesn't make blocker, but I'm guessing there. Issue seems to be fairly clearcut and is likely to make NTH at least, so it would be good if the lorax maintainer can fix it up. 11. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=888026 - "shim not found when doing composing" This is in fact fixed already with a new shim-signed build, but the build needs karma. Just the fact that TC3 is composed proves this bug is fixed: that's probably enough to up-karma the build, as even if SB support was somehow completely broken, that wouldn't be a _regression_, so we may as well go ahead and push the shim-signed build to stable. So QA/releng folks should up-karma the update. 12. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=881670 - "Provide fedup hook to add x-systemd.device-timeout=0 to mount options for encrypted file systems that need a passphrase from the user" We're still waiting for some input from Harald here to evaluate blocker status. Hard to make a guess here. 13. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=882212 - "localectl set-x11-keymap: variant settings does not work" This affects keyboard setting migration on upgrade apparently. Not clear whether this is yum only or also affects fedup, but even if it's yum-only, probably will be accepted as NTH, so it would be good to get a systemd build with this fix, systemd folks. 14. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=861280 - "KDE Crashes or Hangs After Moving Konqueror Window Quickly" This Bug Is Obviously Very Significant As It Has Been Capitalized. Looks like a single-system/single-adapter X bug, which by policy we don't take as blockers (or else we'd never release anything). I'd guess this will be rejected.
