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're in freeze for Beta but blockers remain unaddressed so we are not building RCs yet. The Go/No-Go is scheduled for Thursday 2012-11-01. To have any hope of making that we need all known blockers addressed by Monday or Tuesday, and the new upgrade tool in decent shape. The current blocker list can be viewed at http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/18/beta/buglist (thanks to Tim Flink for the awesome new blocker tracking webapp). Action item checklist --------------------- Will - keep working on the upgrade tool. Especially focus on stuff that needs to be prepared within the F18 frozen package set, if anything. There is a week's wiggle time post-go/no-go to work on stuff that doesn't need to be in the frozen set. Anyone - provide karma for these updates: * http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-16387/btrfs-progs-0.20.rc1.20121017git91d9eec-1.fc18 * http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/livecd-tools-18.12-2.fc18 Blocker status voters, there will be a mini blocker review during QA meeting on Monday (15:00 UTC in #fedora-meeting). Proposed blockers can be seen on the blocker list page. anaconda developers, please take care of these bugs: * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855526 * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=862613 * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=866519 and possibly these proposed blockers: * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868834 * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=869839 KDE team / Apper devs, please take care of this bug: * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=866486 Dan and Miroslav, please keep investigating this bug: * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=844167 Lennart and Kay, please look into this bug: * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=869061 Detailed analysis of bugs follows. Accepted blockers ----------------- 1. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855526 - "f18a tc6 anaconda cannot connect to a protected wireless network" This one's a bit of a mess at the moment; technically it's 'fixed' as network connections can now be configured during installation, but testers had various problems that make it clear the functionality is very fragile. Radek, time is tight here: please make it clear how you'd like the remaining issues reported, and work on fixing them. It would also be useful to know what's going to be done about network configuration in live images - I recall there was an idea to disable network configuration in liveinst on the basis you should just do it from the host desktop. 2. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=862613 "ValueError: cannot initialize a disk that has partitions" We have a bit of a problem here; anaconda team believes this is probably fixed but the reporter cannot check for sure because he runs into another bug, http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=869185 . anaconda team, it would help if you could provide a patch for that bug so we can check whether this one is resolved. 3. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=866519 "BIOS RAID is not shown on harddrive screen" David Lehman has been working on this one constantly, and we have two people able to test patches quickly, so we just need to keep working on that. 4. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=866486 "Apper: cannot perform system update" The symptoms here seem to be solidly established and KDE team is aware of the bug, we just need them to do whatever's necessary to fix it ASAP. 5. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=864765 "mkfs.btrfs SIGABRT at OS install time" This one looks pretty solidly fixed by now and we just need karma on the update so it can be pushed stable and this can be closed out. Proposed blockers ----------------- We'll vote on all these in the meeting on Monday. 1. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868834 "can't use package section in kickstart" There's a patch for this one, so if it's accepted we should be able to get a fix in soon. It does appear to violate the cited criterion so it's likely to be accepted as a blocker. 2. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=869839 "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'format'" This is a fairly easily reproducible crasher in custom partitioning. We're still twiddling with the partitioning criteria so it's not entirely clear if it will be accepted as a blocker, but it would be good if anaconda team could look at a fix in case. 3. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=870268 "livecd-tools must require hfsplus-tools to ensure generated images are Mac bootable" This seems a reasonably clear blocker as it prevents our live images being bootable on a target platform (Intel Macs). A fix is available and needs testing/karma. 4. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=844167 "Error in PREIN scriptlet in rpm package libvirt-daemon-0.9.11.4-3.fc17.x86_64" This is a very long-standing bug which may possibly affect upgrades even with the new tool, which is why it's been proposed as a blocker forever. We can't really decide if it's a blocker till we know for sure if the new tool is affected by it. The selinux folks have been looking into it for a while, we just need them to continue to do so. 5. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=869061 "No output to journal after double-switch-root" If I'm understanding this correctly, it's preventing the new upgrade tool from logging its process during the 'second stage' (when it actually performs the upgrade operation in a dracut environment). In determining blocker status on this it would be very useful to know from Will or Tim whether we actually need to fix this within the frozen F18 package set or not.
