IMPORTANT: currently failing nightly spins

[Kevin Fenzi]

The following spins are currently failing in nightly compose. 
They need to be fixed by their spin owners asap or they will not be
able to be shipped.

I checked with the maintainer, and he asked me to revert the inclusion
of gwave Requires from this package. A new gwave build is required,
and is targeted for F17.

Can you please remove this package alone from F16? I believe it must
be done in the comps-f16.xml.in file at:

  http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=comps.git

I don't have access to this repo.

Pushed the fixed build to stable just now[1].  I tried to on Monday before
the release freeze, but it wasn't in -testing long enough.  Will this still
go through before the f16 release?

You should. All packagers have access to it. 

You should be able to check it out and remove gspiceui from the f16
comps and commit. If you can't still for some reason, I would be happy
to get it done. Just let me know.

No. Not unless it's a NTH (nice to have) or blocker bug. 

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_nth_bug_process

Feel free to propose it for a NTH.

You may need to file a bug noting the broken dep.

Was there no spin scheduled on October 26? I still see the last build
as October 25, 2011:

Sorry about that. I didn't fire one off yesterday. 

Just did so... should finish in a few here.

Thanks. The electronic-lab .iso was created from the builds in the
last few days.

Is it too late to be applying updates to the F-16 git branch?  The Robotics
spin doesn't currently include the post scripts to put the live installer
in the gnome shortcuts, customize the favorite applications, etc.  I was
playing with it last night and got it working, I'd like to get that fix in
before the F16 release.  If it's alright, I can try to push the updates
tonight.

Thanks,

Rich

Possibly. At this point you probably need to discuss with release
engineering as they have probably already done the builds for the release.
They would possibly be willing to do a respin of Robotics since it's
not one of the major spins.

In general this is way late to be finding this kind of issue. If the spin
required these features it should have been discovered back at alpha. If
there was a change in requirements, that change should probably have been
deferred until F17.

I want to do another spin kickstarts based on what we actually use for the
release as a zero day update. Please don't commit the change to the F16
branch for now unless rel-eng is going to do a respin with the change.
Once I get a version with the actually ks files used for the release in updates
we can do another spin-kickstarts with errata for people doing their own
spins post release.

Understood.  We were kind of in a holding pattern with the robotics spin
until we were granted preliminary approval a couple of weeks ago, so we're
playing catch-up trying to get everything ready for the f16 release.

I commented on the f16 spins ticket at [1] asking about a recompose.
 Either way I'll push the update to master tonight, and if it's possible to
respin the robotics livedvd we can cherry-pick it to F-16.

Thanks,

Rich

I checked the ticket and the request was turned down.

So I went and built a version of spin-kickstarts using the Gold ks files.
I then cherry picked you commit to the master branch for F-16.
Once the Gold spin-kickstarts gets into updates proper, I'll make another
update with any changes to the F-16 branch so the Gold images were built.

Yeah, I pinged the rel-eng guys on IRC last night about it, we
unfortunately didn't catch it in time.  I still want to find a way to get a
fixed image out in the wild after the dust settles, is fedoraunity the only
avenue for this?

People can build their own images with updated packages whenever they want.
In a few months that's probably going to be better than grabbing the
release version anyway. The ks update will be in F16 by then, so they won't
have to modify the ks file unless they want to for some other reason.

If you want to host your own iso images that include updated packages and/or
ks used to generate the iso, that will probably work for helping people
that don't want to run livecd-creator. (Though you need to be careful about
GPL compliance.)

Given how easy running livecd-creator is, I'd suggest just prominently
documenting that at a level appropriate for your audiance.

This won't really help with the iso, but I did make a spin-kickstarts update
with the fix that is now pending for testing. This will help people doing
respins using livecd-creator.
