19:01:12 <ianweller> :o *
19:01:44 <nirik> hello smooge's phone. meet ianweller's phone. :)
19:02:14 <dgilmore> hola
19:02:21 <dgilmore> ¿como estas?
19:02:43 <nirik> :)
19:02:50 <nirik> #topic New folks introductions and Apprentice tasks
19:03:05 <nirik> any new folks want to say hi, or apprentices have questions or comments?
19:03:10 <masta> yes
19:03:18 <masta> I'm new - hello all
19:03:24 <anshprat> hi masta
19:03:40 * croberts waves
19:03:48 * masta waves back
19:03:50 <nirik> hey masta. Welcome
19:03:58 <masta> glad to be here
19:04:08 <nirik> you wanted to help out with the aarch64 stuff with dgilmore ? or did you have other interests as well?
19:04:44 <dgilmore> nirik: im going to get him involved in helping me
19:04:48 <dgilmore> not just aarch64
19:04:54 <masta> will probably just focus on aarch64, and while doing that watch and learn from all of you... pickup tasks where I can
19:04:55 <nirik> excellent.
19:05:13 <nirik> well, welcome and do ask questions as things come up, etc.
19:05:16 <croberts> nirik: i closed that wiki ticket with the timeout i will be working on picking up more and working on them
19:05:42 <nirik> croberts: great. I can dig out the wiki related ones if you want those specifically. ;)
19:05:45 <masta> I'm sure I'll be helping rel-eng alot... that is my goal
19:05:51 <croberts> nirik: yes please :)
19:05:51 <anshprat> askbot - upstream says they have hardcoded version on one of the dependency - and that could be the issue.
19:06:11 <anshprat> so I need to figure out how to fix that without hardcoding version dependency
19:06:11 <nirik> anshprat: hey. :) Back from vacation?
19:06:25 <nirik> #topic Applications status / discussion
19:06:38 <anshprat> nirik: :) yes, but haven't been able to spend much time yet.
19:07:23 <lmacken> bodhi bug #960642 popped back up this week, but I am fairly confident that I squashed it yesterday.
19:07:29 <nirik> anshprat: no worries. I reenabled puppet on it (since it mails every 30min about puppet being off... we can disable it again when you are ready to work on it)
19:07:40 <nirik> #info still working on askbot upgrade in stg
19:07:44 <anshprat> nirik: alright
19:07:54 <nirik> #info bodhi bug 960642 hopefully quashed.
19:08:06 <nirik> Any other application news?
19:08:09 <pingou> fedocal on stg is running a pre-release of 0.3.0
19:08:33 <lmacken> working on the bodhi2 masher as a fedmsg consumer, which will let us take advantage of twisted deferred callback chains, easy threading, etc.
19:08:41 <pingou> and the unit-tests coverage of pkgdb2 bumped to 97% today (with all the precautions we should take on this measurement)
19:08:51 <lmacken> pingou: win!
19:08:53 <nirik> #info fedocal in stg is 0.3.0 prerelease. Please test.
19:09:21 <pingou> lmacken: but that does imply fedmsg becomes a source of information that we rely on, right?
19:09:22 <nirik> lmacken: cool. How far are we from tossing up a cloud instance or something where we can see bodhi2. ;)
19:09:49 * croberts goes afk for a few
19:10:11 <lmacken> pingou: yeah, to trigger a push it would be. we could also potentially avoid the public bus by having the bodhi-client send the message locally on a releng box, etc.
19:10:30 <lmacken> but I think we could do it w/o changing any of the current bodhi masher messages
19:10:41 <nirik> someone at the door here, brb
19:10:42 <pingou> cool
19:11:17 <threebean> lmacken: cool. if you need to change them though, we can update fedmsg.meta to match it no problem.
19:11:25 <threebean> agility!
19:11:27 <lmacken> nirik: there are no widgets or templates ported, which is probably a little ways off. the json api is solid at the moment, and I'm going to focus on getting headless mashing & API working first
19:11:38 <lmacken> python-fedora compat, etc.
19:11:57 <lmacken> threebean: cool. I'd also want to ensure that the masher message is signed by someone in releng
19:12:01 <smooge> Sounds good
19:12:24 * threebean nods
19:12:46 <threebean> lmacken: yeah, we can make the required cert group readable by an appropriate releng group.
19:12:52 <ianweller> datagrepper 0.2.1 still has most of the new 0.2.x features broken in production, i'll be working on that this weekend hopefully
19:13:02 <lmacken> threebean: perfect.
19:13:02 <ianweller> (at least, openid login is broken)
19:13:18 <ianweller> (this is due to it being two servers and only having tested it in staging on one)
19:13:26 <lmacken> is /raw still sluggish?
19:13:32 <ianweller> yeah i don't know why it is.
19:13:39 <ianweller> it was fine when we upgraded and restarted apache
19:13:40 <lmacken> are we using indexes?
19:13:44 <nirik> cool.
19:13:47 <ianweller> upgraded datagrepper / restarted apache that is
19:13:52 <anshprat> puiterwijk: any news on postja?
19:14:17 <ianweller> so, datagrepper getting really slow / impossible to use is still an open issue
19:14:59 <anshprat> :!
19:15:25 <threebean> lmacken: yes
19:15:31 <smooge> Ianweller if response >20 reboot
19:15:43 <lmacken> threebean: I'm not seeing any in the model?
19:15:46 <ianweller> smooge: basically
19:15:52 <threebean> lmacken: nope. manually created.
19:16:00 <lmacken> :(
19:16:03 <lmacken> on which cols?
19:16:07 <threebean> timestamp
19:16:14 <threebean> maybe the user and package relations too.. I forget.
19:16:26 <nirik> so whatever became of the idea of checking datagrepper messages stored vs logs or whatever to see if we are dropping anything? I guess thats pending daragrepper being fully working?
19:16:40 <threebean> yeah, I've been running that as of earlier this week.
19:16:49 <threebean> zero dropped messages detected so far.
19:16:55 <lmacken> I'd probably index user.name for sure
19:16:55 <threebean> (I'm just checking koji, though).
19:17:03 <nirik> threebean: nice!
19:17:15 <nirik> could we run a check on other stuff too, just to be paranoid?
19:17:18 <pingou> that's nice
19:17:20 <threebean> https://gist.github.com/ralphbean/7204706
19:17:25 <lmacken> threebean: excellent.
19:17:34 <threebean> everyone run that ^^
19:17:42 <threebean> erm.. please.
19:17:43 <pingou> at the same time ? :)
19:18:31 <threebean> pingou: well, maybe not ;p
19:18:37 <pingou> doh :(
19:18:54 <threebean> I dunno.. it *should* be able to take it, but, as we're saying, datagrepper is feeling sluggish.
19:19:33 <nirik> #topic Applications status / discussion
19:21:31 <smooge> I am not to touch hardware today
19:21:51 <ianweller> threebean: i wonder if the datanommer db is getting deadlocked somewhere
19:22:37 <ianweller> also, surprisingly, that script you posted runs fine on KU EECS fedora machines. apparently the koji client is installed
19:22:41 <abadger1999> ianweller: to test that -- do you have two datanommer frontend machines? do they both get slow at the same time?
19:22:47 <threebean> ianweller: :D
19:22:51 <abadger1999> ianweller: does restarting one make both fast again?
19:23:00 <pingou> threebean: I got one missed
19:23:04 <ianweller> abadger1999: we have two datagrepper frontend machines. i haven't actually done any real testing, so everything i'm saying is just hearsay
19:23:15 <abadger1999> k
19:23:44 <threebean> pingou: hm. did the script output which thing was missed?
19:23:51 <pingou> * For 2013-10-31 19:20:40.236530 fedmsg did not have https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=475069
19:23:57 <threebean> pingou: and.. was it a race condition?
19:24:05 <pingou> threebean: that's all I have
19:24:14 * threebean check datagrepper for that build
19:24:14 <ianweller> threebean: 475071 koji didn't have
19:24:36 <lmacken> we should sync up the model with the db tweaks by hand, like: __table_args__ = (sa.Index('index_name', 'colname'),)
19:24:44 <threebean> +1
19:24:58 <lmacken> because there may be some low-hanging indexable fruit
19:25:51 <nirik> ok, any other applications news?
19:26:10 <nirik> pingou: how's the jenkins working with the new f19?
19:26:28 <pingou> nirik: so far didn't see/hear any problem
19:26:34 <nirik> cool.
19:26:43 <pingou> more a request for a F20 host :)
19:26:51 <pingou> but I'm not sure we have the IP for it
19:27:06 <nirik> we can get some more I think...
19:27:09 <pingou> so I'm thinking replace F18 by F20 when F20 is beta/release
19:27:11 <nirik> just need to reserve them
19:27:21 <pingou> ok, I'll need to see that with you then :)
19:27:31 <nirik> yep. Ping me out of meeting and we can try and do it.
19:27:50 <pingou> not today, but around half november would be good for me
19:27:50 <nirik> #topic Sysadmin status / discussion
19:27:56 <nirik> pingou: sounds good.
19:28:03 <nirik> lets see... on the sysadmin side...
19:28:35 <smooge> Hardware 100 smooge 0
19:28:45 <nirik> abadger1999: want to share any ansiblefest stuff?
19:28:48 <smooge> :)
19:28:53 * pingou takes the magnet from smooge
19:28:57 <nirik> we have our new bladecenter up and I am trying to get iscsi working on it.
19:29:25 <abadger1999> Lets see... I think we could move the fasClient runs from pull based on each host to push based from lockbox01.
19:29:35 <abadger1999> That might help with our nightly fasClient emails
19:30:17 <nirik> abadger1999: that does mean things have to be ssh reachable from lockbox01, but if they aren't a missed fasClient run is likely the least of their problems.
19:30:33 <abadger1999> nirik: yep.
19:30:57 <abadger1999> nirik: If we have things that are permanently not reachable via ssh from lockbox01, ansible won't be able to work with them at all
19:31:03 <nirik> yep.
19:31:04 <abadger1999> we'll have to configure those hosts differently.
19:31:35 <abadger1999> * f13 pointed me at authprogs https://pypi.python.org/pypi/authprogs as a possible better way to control normal users and scm repos on pkgs.fp.o and fedorahosted.
19:31:38 <nirik> we only have 2 of those that I can think of... the sign-vault machines. On those we only enable sshd when we need to push changes. It's off most of the time.
19:31:49 <abadger1999> It looks promising, puiterwijk was going to look into it.
19:31:53 <abadger1999> <nod>
19:31:57 <nirik> cool
19:32:11 <abadger1999> nirik: do we run fasClient on those two machines regularly or infrequently?
19:32:45 <abadger1999> If regularly, we probably should just leave them pull-based.
19:32:46 <nirik> I'd have to look, I think it runs there... but we could do it as needed, there's few people with access.
19:33:09 * croberts is back
19:33:14 <abadger1999> If infrequently, we can just do fasClient runs at the same time as we explicitly are pushing changes to them.
19:33:19 <abadger1999> <nod>
19:33:21 * nirik nods
19:34:34 <nirik> ok, anything else sysadmin wise?
19:34:36 <abadger1999> For those who don't know, there's the ansible-examples github
19:34:44 <pingou> oh cool
19:34:51 <nirik> yeah.
19:35:02 <abadger1999> https://github.com/ansible/ansible-examples
19:35:19 <abadger1999> It's supposed to have examples that might be good starting points.
19:35:20 <pingou> git grep to the rescure!
19:35:23 <pingou> rescue*
19:35:37 <nirik> yeah, git grep is something I use everyday. ;)
19:35:41 <nirik> very handy
19:36:07 <abadger1999> ansibleworks is going to start up a web service that makes uploading, downloading, rating, etc community provided roles easier in a few months.
19:36:17 <abadger1999> (it'lll be called ansible-galaxy)
19:36:36 <abadger1999> that's about all the big exciting stuff :-0
19:36:38 <nirik> should be a nice source of stuff...
19:36:45 <nirik> abadger1999: whats the licensing on that?
19:36:50 <anshprat> nirik: http://tech-blog.flipkart.net/2013/10/hostdb/ - will we benefit from something like this rather than just inventory in pvt git?
19:36:55 <nirik> or can people specify?
19:37:43 <nirik> anshprat: we have talked about inventory software in the past, but never found one that really was that nice... I've not looked at hostdb tho.
19:37:46 <anshprat> its a " tool to help manage data center inventory and write applications around it. - See more at: http://tech-blog.flipkart.net/2013/10/hostdb/#sthash.qyJQYcfn.dpuf"
19:38:02 <abadger1999> nirik: for the exaples in ansible-galaxy? I don't know for sure -- I imagined it would be uploader-specifies an OSS approved license.
19:38:11 <abadger1999> like googlecode/sourceforge.
19:38:19 <nirik> abadger1999: ok, just curious
19:38:35 <nirik> anshprat: can take a look and discuss on list?
19:38:39 <abadger1999> Rather than "unless specified, this is CC-BY" like stackexchange, etc.
19:38:41 <anshprat> nirik: sure
19:38:54 <abadger1999> Probably should ping the ansibleworks guys to see if that's the case, though.
19:39:17 <nirik> abadger1999: we do want to make sure, because we would likely add to our repo and it's public...
19:39:36 <abadger1999> Yeah.
19:40:29 <nirik> #topic Upcoming Tasks/Items
19:40:29 <nirik> https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/list/infrastructure/
19:40:37 <nirik> anything anyone wants to schedule or note?
19:40:46 <nirik> I'll note we slipped another week on f20 beta...
19:40:52 <nirik> so, we are frozen another extra week. :(
19:40:53 <pingou> :(
19:40:56 <threebean> :(
19:41:14 <smooge> Jan 1st
19:41:22 <nirik> smooge: of what year? :)
19:41:26 <threebean> smooge: we taking bets?
19:41:34 <anshprat> we have 3 freezes per release I guess ?
19:41:43 <nirik> anshprat: yep. alpha, beta, final.
19:41:55 <nirik> usually they are 2 weeks.
19:42:09 <nirik> but alpha was 3 this time, and beta is 4 now.
19:42:21 <anshprat> so a quarter an year of freezes, atleast.. :!
19:42:40 <nirik> yeah.
19:43:04 <nirik> in a number of ways the freezes are nice tho... forces you to plan things and work on stuff thats not immediately pushing out.
19:43:12 <nirik> just anoying when they get long
19:43:54 <anshprat> yeah..
19:44:03 <nirik> #topic Open Floor
19:44:10 <nirik> anyone have any items for open floor?
19:44:21 <nirik> questions, comments, ideas, book suggestions?
19:44:42 <anshprat> nirik: the feedback from apprentices..
19:44:51 <anshprat> any comments / words on those?
19:45:07 <anshprat> (the monthly mail that you sent..)
19:45:15 <nirik> yeah, some. I suppose I should republish out anything from there that's interesting...
19:45:28 <nirik> but we will be doing a new one tomorrow. ;)
19:45:31 <nirik> or...
19:45:41 <nirik> I could mail apprentices and ask/set replies to the list?
19:46:01 <nirik> then everyone could see and comment? or is that too open for feedback?
19:46:11 <pingou> nirik: propose both
19:46:24 <anshprat> yeah, am fine with that..
19:46:46 <nirik> pingou: yeah, I can...
19:46:47 <croberts> nirik: can i send you an email for a list of the wiki tickets
19:47:00 <nirik> croberts: sure, or I can send you one with them. ;)
19:47:08 <nirik> or we can meet over in #fedora-admin after the meeting...
19:47:59 <croberts> ok sounds good :)
19:48:04 <nirik> #info apprentice feedback mail will optionally go to list next time.
19:48:17 * nirik will close out things in a few if no further comments.
19:48:52 <nirik> thanks for coming everyone!

Meeting Summary / October 30, 2013
by Máirín Duffy
Hi folks!
Below find a summary of today's meeting. You can also read it in blog
format at
http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2013/10/30/fedora-server-working-group-initial-...
. Below the summary, you'll find the meetbot links if you'd like to read
the raw logs.
Meeting Minutes
===============
Here’s a run-down of today’s Server Working Group meeting:
Agenda
======
* Meeting frequency and times
* Ticket Tracker/Wiki
* Governance Charter
* Open Floor
Meeting Frequency and Times
---------------------------
First we talked about how frequently we should meet and at what time.
This diverged a bit into other topics (how to handle absences and time
zone issues.) We agreed on the following points:
* The Server working group will meet on a weekly basis. There wasn’t any
dissension about or discussion on this point.
* If there is no agenda posted to the mailing list within 24 hours
before a meeting is set to start, the meeting is cancelled and Stephen
will send out a cancellation notice to the mailing list. Jóhann
suggested the cancellation note just so that it’s clear the meeting is
not happening.
* Stephen will send out an email to the voting members to figure out a
time that works for everyone on a weekly basis. It was pointed out that
the United States is going to go through another time shift this coming
weekend, and we’re coming down off a flurry of conference travel with
folks travelling across timezones, so we need to set a time that will be
sustainable long-term.
* In the case where a voting member can not make a meeting, they can
either pre-vote via the mailing list or abstain-by-default. I did raise
a concern about unplanned votes taking place due to a disagreement that
cropped up during a meeting that an absent member could not forsee to
pre-vote on, but we decided keeping things simpler is best, and if that
one vote wouldn’t have mattered anyway it is not a big deal. We’ll wait
until we run into a situation where the absence becomes a problem to
make any policy for it.
* During meetings, silence indicates consent. If people disgaree, then
that will bring it to a vote. As Kevin pointed out, “I think we should
strive to work on consensus, and only vote on things where it’s clear
people aren’t going to be convinced to agree.”
Ticket Tracker/Wiki
-------------------
We then moved on to talk about the tools we will use to conduct business
– managing and tracking our progress. Some of the asset types that came
up as needing to be managed with tools were:
* Working documents (governance doc, PRD)
* Agenda items
* Decisions
* Discussions
* Meeting minutes / summaries
While Stephen suggested initially that we set up a Trac instance to keep
track of agenda items and discussions, several members (Jóhann, David,
Simo) had concerns about prematurely setting up Trac before we had
determined through experience that we needed it. We collectively decided
to table any Trac set up and to use the Fedora wiki to trac agenda
items, decisions, and discussions until it became too unwieldy. At that
point, we would have the experience to fully understand the requirements
of the tool we needed and be able to select a tool based on
requirements. Again, the overarching concern here, I believe, was
simplicity.
I volunteered to start a blog for the group to share meeting minutes and
any progress we’ve made (so here you are. :) ) Initially I’m going to
make the blog posts here on my personal blog, but I will also set up a
group blog for the Server working group on OpenShift and have that
subscribed to Planet Fedora. Meeting minutes will also be posted to the
server mailing list as well as to the Fedora meeting minutes list.
It was very unanimously agreed that the working documents would be
stored on the Fedora project wiki, following the lead of the Cloud
working group.
Governance Charter
------------------
We then moved on to start discussing the governance charter. Jóhann very
helpfully put together a Fedora Server working group governance charter
draft which we read through and used to direct the discussion.
Jóhann’s draft has four main sections:
* Membership
* Current Members
* Making Decisions
* Changing These Rules
While there was a lot of agreement about the content of the other three
sections, there were some concerns and disagreement about the content of
the membership section – enough that the discussion was not conclusive
and we decided that we should discuss it further on the mailing list and
it should be part of the agenda for next week’s meeting.
The main point of contention about the membership section was that there
are certain slots in Jóhann’s proposal meant to be dedicated to specific
teams within Fedora. There were several concerns voiced about this
team-based slot approach:
* Some teams in Fedora are spread thinly enough that they might not have
anyone willing to serve in representation of them. The counter to this
concern that Kevin proposed is that the groups would be given ‘first
dibs’ at nominating someone to fill their slot, and if they couldn’t
then the slot would open up to anybody interested.
* It’s not really clear what advantage having someone from each team
would provide the group – it was pointed out by both mitr and mclasen
that it is easy to reach out to folks on other teams and get help from
them, and being a direct member of the working group isn’t necessary to
assit the group.
* Some of the slots are reserved for people who represent the ‘server
community,’ but it isn’t clear how someone would be identified as
representing the server community or not. What exactly is the server
community? Doesn’t everyone on the working group need to represent the
server community? How can you discern if someone is qualified to do that?
* Miloslav was concerned about this resulting in the group “having a
great planning infrastructure and no one to do the planned work,” and
suggested it would be better if the group was made up primarily of
‘do-ers’ who can get things done rather than decision-makers who would
need to rely on external volunteers to get the work done.
Hopefully we’ll have some discussion about these points and others and
clear up what we think the membership section needs to say.
Open Floor
----------
We only had about 5 minutes left (and went over by 5 more) after
determining the main meat of the governance proposal that we had to work
on was the membership section. We threw out different ideas for loose
threads of discussion and other issues we thought should be considered
for the next meeting’s agenda:
* The governance “membership” section – The ‘membership’ section of the
Server working group governance draft.
* The use cases for the Server product – discussion of this is already
happening on the mailing list. These should help inform the product
requirements document the team needs to put together for January.
* Short-term deliverables and PRD – Kevin suggested that we should start
discussions on the team’s short term deliverables and initial PRD work.
* General direction of how the product will be made – Simo brought up
that we might need to discuss ‘how the sausage gets made,’ e.g., “are we
going to suddenly have 4 different rawhides or how to we handle package
management.” Jim responded with, “I would hope we’re still working from
a common package set, and either putting our changes in the packages or
groups.” Simo concluded that, “I’d like we discuss a bit in the agenda
what we think is the general direction and the ‘absolutely not’ and the
‘absolutely can’t do without.’”
* Mission statement – Stephen suggested, to follow the Workstation
group’s lead, that we put together a mission statement (and potentially
a vision statement.) I’m going to draft the initial statements and send
them to the list for discussion.

Meeting summary
---------------
* Roll Call (tflink, 16:01:48)

the progress of fixing existing accepted blocker and freeze
exception bugs. (tflink, 16:09:23)
* We'll be following the process outlined at: (tflink, 16:09:28)

* Proposed Blocker, anaconda, ASSIGNED (tflink, 16:11:27)
* AGREED: 1023554 - RejectedBlocker (beta) AceptedBlocker (final)
AcceptedFreezeException - While this feels like too much of a corner
case to block beta, it does violate the final release criterion "The
installer must be able to create and install to any workable
partition layout using any file system and/or container format
combination offered in a default installer configuration.". A tested
fix would be considered past freeze (tflink, 16:28:50)
* (1021507) DeviceCreateError: ("Can't have overlapping partitions.",
'sda3') (tflink, 16:29:06)

16:44:42)
* Proposed Blocker, gdm, NEW (tflink, 16:44:42)
* AGREED: 1023295 - RejectedBlocker RejectedFreezeException - This
appears to be relatively infrequent and doesn't block the user from
logging in if they click on "not shown?" in gdm. Rejected as a
release blocking bug for F20 beta. (tflink, 16:49:04)
* (1023556) Blivet.copy does not update parted disk refs for partitions
on hidden disks (tflink, 16:49:34)
* LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1023556 (tflink,
16:49:37)
* Proposed Blocker, python-blivet, ASSIGNED (tflink, 16:49:40)
* AGREED: 1023556 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F20 beta
release criterion: "When using the custom partitioning flow, the
installer must be able to ... Correctly interpret, and modify as
described below, any disk with a valid ms-dos or gpt disk label and
partition table containing ext4 partitions, LVM and/or btrfs
volumes, and/or software RAID arrays at RAID levels 0, 1 and 5
containing ext4 partitions" (tflink, 17:01:02)

(tflink, 17:05:26)
* LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1023263 (tflink,
17:05:29)
* Proposed Freeze Exceptions, anaconda, NEW (tflink, 17:05:32)
* AGREED: 1023263 - AcceptedFreezeException - This would be a release
blocking bug for a primary DE but not for a secondary DE. A tested
fix would be considered past freeze. (tflink, 17:09:44)
* (1015755) current version is 0.4.0 (tflink, 17:09:48)
* LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1015755 (tflink,
17:09:52)
* Proposed Freeze Exceptions, libbluray, ASSIGNED (tflink, 17:09:55)
* AGREED: 1015755 - RejectedFreezeException - New features are not
enough justification for pulling fixes past freeze and this fix can
wait for beta freeze to end. (tflink, 17:13:16)
* (1018565) scanimage detects sm3840 only for root (tflink, 17:13:56)

17:13:56)
* Proposed Freeze Exceptions, sane-backends, ON_QA (tflink, 17:13:57)
* AGREED: 1018565 - RejectedFreezeExceptions - This seems unlikely to
affect liveimage users and thus, could be fixed by a 0-day update.
(tflink, 17:15:40)

* Proposed Freeze Exceptions, shim, ON_QA (tflink, 17:15:46)
* AGREED: 1010474 - AcceptedFreezeException - This is required for
secureboot to work and cannot be fixed with an update post-release.
A tested fix would be considered after freeze. (tflink, 17:18:40)
