Fedora 12 Alpha Blocker Meeting 2009-08-14 @ 15:00 UTC (11 AM EDT)

[John Poelstra]

When: Friday, 2009-08-14 @ 15:00 UTC (11 AM EDT)
Where: #fedora-bugzappers on irc.freenode.net

Join us Friday for what we hope to be the last blocker bug review 
meeting for the Fedora 12 Alpha. On Friday we will review the unresolved 
bugs on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=507676&hide_resolv...

Here are the bugs presently blocking the Fedora 12 Alpha:
* 515472  [ASSIGNED - medium - [e-mail] - --- -] f12 alpha 
system can not reboot   [See dependency tree for bug 515472]
* 516941 [MODIFIED - medium - [e-mail] - --- -] kms 
broken and can cause oops without git3 upstream PAT patches [See 
dependency tree for bug 516941]
* 517171 [NEW - medium - [e-mail] - --- -] 
Installation fails to find repodata when booting from boot.iso [See 
dependency tree for bug 517171]

If you are aware of any bugs you think should block the Alpha, please 
set them to block 'F12Alpha' and come to the meeting to help guide the 
discussion.

Thanks for your help and time,
John

Fedora 12 Alpha Blocker Meeting Recap

[James Laska]

Meeting log available at
http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-bugzappers/2009-08-14/fedora-bugzapp...

= Attendees =

jlaska, poelcat, rjune_wrk, stickster, jeff_hann

= https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516941 =
State: MODIFIED

Anyone using the radeon driver is asked to help verify the fix against
kernel-2.6.31-0.145.2.1.rc5.git3.fc12.

= https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=517171 =
State: MODIFIED

Anaconda-12.15 did not arrive in last nights rawhide, so QA is unable to
verify the fix for this issue.

= https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=517475 =
State: NEW

The group was not able to reach a conclusion.  Several people questioned
whether a downstream project should block the Alpha.  Another concern
reflected the number of Alpha testers impacted by the geode failure.

== UPDATES ==

SMOLT geode stats -
http://smolts.org/reports/view_devices?device=Geode&search=Submit+Query

After discussing with Jkeating, the proposed rpm patch is limited to
geode and does not appear to affect other platforms (see
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-June/msg01641.html).  Jkeating felt the bug was worth addressing to unblock OLPC/XO testers using the Alpha.  Jlaska expressed concern why this patch hadn't been applied yet, but indicated the issue was a 'nice to have' for the alpha.

= Action items =

[jlaska] - follow-up in bug#517 with additional information

= Open discussion =

== Verifying MODIFIED bugs ==

poelcat asked what the recommended practice was for monitoring what bugs
need testing.  Jlaska indicated he was asking QA folks to keep an eye on
MODIFIED bugs on the blocker list.  Additionally, there is a
NEEDSRETESTING keyword available.

== Rawhide install test run ==

Jlaska provided results from a test run initiated by lili and rhe last
night against rawhide.  This provides a more recent snapshot of
installer status with anaconda-12.14 (see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_12_Alpha_TCRegression_Install_Test_...).  No new alpha blockers have been escalated from this testing.

Thanks,
James
