Fedora 25 Workstation Wayland Test Day: 2016-10-13!
by Adam Williamson 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

Hi folks! Time to announce another Fedora 25 Test Day: [Wayland Test Day][1]! Note, the wiki page doesn't exist yet, as the wiki is having issues right now, but I wanted to make the announcement early enough to give people time to prepare. You may have read that we plan to make Fedora 25 Workstation the first release to default to [Wayland][2] (rather than X11) as the graphical server. This has been in place since Fedora 25 Alpha, but to prepare for the general release, we'd like to run a test day and get some broad-based testing to ensure that Wayland is at least good enough for an initial release, and that the option to switch to X11 works properly for those cases where it might be necessary. You'll be able to run most of the tests from a live image (without doing a permanent installation). All the test instructions will be on [the wiki page][1] and there will be QA and developer folks around all day in [the IRC channel][3] to help you test and report any issues you find. Just about anyone with a computer can help with this testing, and we'd like to have feedback from as many users as possible, so please, if you have a little time on Thursday, come help out! As always, the event will be in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC. If you don’t know how to use IRC, you can read [these instructions][4], or just use [WebIRC][3].

Call for agenda: Workstation WG Meeting 2016-10-12
by Paul W. Frields 12 Oct '16

12 Oct '16

Right now I don't see any critical pending decisions for the WG, so I'm inclined to cancel our meeting on Wednesday. However, if you do know of something we need to decide this week, please speak up on list. If I don't have anything by ~2359 UTC tomorrow (2016-Oct-11), I'll send a cancellation notice out. -- Paul W.

Fedora 25 Wayland Test Day proposal
by Adam Williamson 12 Oct '16

12 Oct '16

Hi folks! It seems like a sensible idea to hold a Wayland Test Day for Fedora 25, with the switch to using it by default for Workstation. I've opened a Test Day ticket in QA trac: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/492 it'd be great to get feedback on the date - ideally it'd be great to have some devs around, so please, if you're one of the main upstream/downstream devs/maintainers give your feedback on the proposed date, 2016-10-06 - and it'd also be great to have ideas for what stuff we should test outside of the standard desktop validation tests: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Desktop_Acceptance_Test_Cases Thanks everyone! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

Hi All, I have been working on making sure we have the workstation ostree available for Beta, and I have hit a snag. there is a bunch of packages included that are not available in the workstation package set. diff --git a/fedora-ostree-workstation.json b/fedora-ostree-workstation.json index bdbda90..c9715c6 100644 --- a/fedora-ostree-workstation.json +++ b/fedora-ostree-workstation.json @@ -60,7 +60,6 @@ "audit", "augeas-libs", "authconfig", - "autogen-libopts", "avahi", "b43-fwcutter", "b43-openfwwf", @@ -74,7 +73,6 @@ "bind-libs-lite", "bind-license", "bind-utils", - "binutils", "bluez-cups", "boost-iostreams", "boost-random", @@ -97,7 +95,6 @@ "coreutils", "corosync", "corosynclib", - "cpp", "crda", "createrepo_c", "createrepo_c-libs", @@ -125,7 +122,6 @@ "dnf-yum", "dos2unix", "dracut-config-generic", - "dracut-live", "dracut-network", "drpm", "e2fsprogs", @@ -142,12 +138,10 @@ "evolution-ews", "evolution-help", "fcoe-utils", - "fedora-bookmarks", "fedora-productimg-workstation", "fedora-release-workstation", "fedora-user-agent-chrome", "file-roller", - "file-roller-nautilus", "firefox", "firewalld", "firewalld-filesystem", @@ -160,8 +154,6 @@ "fprintd-pam", "fros", "fros-gnome", - "gcc", - "gcc-gdb-plugin", "gdb", "gdm", "gedit", @@ -171,8 +163,6 @@ "glade-libs", "glibc", "glibc", - "glibc-devel", - "glibc-headers", "glibc-langpack-en", "glib-networking", "glusterfs", @@ -216,8 +206,6 @@ "gnu-free-serif-fonts", "gnupg", "gnupg2", - "gnutls-dane", - "gnutls-utils", "google-android-emoji-fonts", "google-noto-fonts-common", "google-noto-sans-lisu-fonts", @@ -273,7 +261,6 @@ "ipw2100-firmware", "ipw2200-firmware", "ipxe-roms-qemu", - "isl", "isomd5sum", "iw", "iwl1000-firmware", @@ -295,19 +282,16 @@ "jansson", "jimtcl", "jomolhari-fonts", - "js-jquery", "jwhois", "kbd", "kbd-legacy", "kbd-misc", "kernel", - "kernel-headers", "kernel-modules-extra", "kexec-tools", "keybinder3", "khmeros-base-fonts", "khmeros-fonts-common", - "langpacks-en", "langtable", "langtable-data", "langtable-python3", @@ -357,7 +341,6 @@ "libkkc-common", "libkkc-data", "libmng", - "libmpc", "libmspack", "libmspub", "libmwaw", @@ -380,7 +363,6 @@ "libreoffice-graphicfilter", "libreoffice-impress", "libreoffice-math", - "libreoffice-ogltrans", "libreoffice-pdfimport", "libreoffice-pyuno", "libreoffice-writer", @@ -400,19 +382,13 @@ "librsvg2", "libsamplerate", "libsane-hpaio", - "libsss_autofs", "libsss_idmap", "libsss_nss_idmap", - "libsss_sudo", "libtar", "libteam", "libtimezonemap", - "libtranslit", - "libtranslit-m17n", "libusal", - "libvirt-client", "libvirt-daemon", - "libvirt-daemon-config-network", "libvirt-daemon-driver-interface", "libvirt-daemon-driver-network", "libvirt-daemon-driver-nodedev", @@ -433,7 +409,6 @@ "libXxf86dga", "libzhuyin", "libzhuyin-data", - "linux-atm-libs", "lklug-fonts", "lldpad", "logrotate", @@ -459,7 +434,6 @@ "marisa", "mcelog", "media-player-info", - "memtest86+", "mesa-dri-drivers", "mesa-libxatracker", "microcode_ctl", @@ -486,7 +460,6 @@ "NetworkManager-wifi", "NetworkManager-wwan", "nfs-utils", - "nss-altfiles", "nss-mdns", "nss-softokn-freebl", "numactl-libs", @@ -495,7 +468,6 @@ "openssh-clients", "openssh-server", "orca", - "ostree-grub2", "oxygen-icon-theme", "PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin", "paktype-naskh-basic-fonts", @@ -551,8 +523,6 @@ "plymouth-theme-charge", "plymouth-theme-charge", "policycoreutils", - "policycoreutils-python", - "policycoreutils-python-utils", "polkit", "poppler-utils", "procps-ng", @@ -596,7 +566,6 @@ "python3-slip", "python3-slip-dbus", "python3-systemd", - "python-systemd-doc", "qemu-common", "qemu-guest-agent", "qemu-img", @@ -619,7 +588,6 @@ "rng-tools", "rootfiles", "rpm", - "rpm-ostree", "rpm-plugin-systemd-inhibit", "rp-pppoe", "rsync", @@ -667,7 +635,6 @@ "sssd-krb5", "sssd-krb5-common", "sssd-ldap", - "sssd-proxy", "stix-fonts", "sudo", "sushi", @@ -690,12 +657,10 @@ "tigervnc-license", "tigervnc-server-minimal", "time", - "timedatex", "totem", "totem-nautilus", "traceroute", "tree", - "unbound-libs", "unoconv", "usb_modeswitch", "usb_modeswitch-data", @@ -705,12 +670,10 @@ "util-linux", "vconfig", "vim-minimal", - "vinagre", "virglrenderer", "vlgothic-fonts", "volume_key-libs", "vte3", - "web-assets-filesystem", "wget", "which", "wireless-tools", @@ -740,7 +703,6 @@ "xorg-x11-drv-nouveau", "xorg-x11-drv-openchrome", "xorg-x11-drv-qxl", - "xorg-x11-drv-synaptics", "xorg-x11-drv-vesa", "xorg-x11-drv-vmmouse", "xorg-x11-drv-vmmouse", I believe that file-roller-nautilus has been removed and should be removed. as to the rest the WG needs to decide to make changes and pull them into the workstation packageset. which will need a combination of comps and pungi config changes, or they need to be removed from the workstation ostree. some like rpm-ostree, ostree-grub2 should be pulled into workstation. fedora- bookmarks I have added to the firefox group in comps and it should be there tomorrow.
