Fedora 14 Alpha Go/No-Go Meeting: 2010-08-12 @ 12:00 UTC Recap
by Adam Williamson 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

The first Fedora 14 Alpha Go/No-Go Meeting was held 2010-08-12 at 12:00 UTC (so evening of 2010-08-11 in North America). The outcome of the meeting was a decision to slip the Alpha release by one week due to one bug agreed to be a definite blocker: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623129 "xdriver=vesa is not honored" and one bug that is potentially a blocker, pending more data: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596985 "hang at start of X11 on fresh install from DVD" All other bugs considered were agreed not to be release blockers and removed from the list. A slip announcement will be sent with more details on the slip specifically. We aim to build an RC4 tomorrow afternoon American time (2010-08-12) with the fix for 623129 (and possibly fixes for a couple of other bugs we decided were not blockers but would be nice to fix), and continue to research 596985 to decide if it is a blocker. If we decide it is, an RC5 build will be required. The automated summary of the meeting can be found here: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2010-08-12/gonogo.2010-08-1… The full log of the meeting can be found here: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2010-08-12/gonogo.2010-08-1… Thanks to all for attending and providing input. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Working F14 Alpha RC3 live images now available
by Adam Williamson 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

Hi, everyone. Working live images for Fedora 14 Alpha RC3 are now available here: http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/14-Alpha.RC3.1.live/ we've screwed this up so many times I took the precaution of actually downloading and booting all the x86-64 images before writing this email. So I personally guarantee they at least boot to a desktop in virt-manager! We have the go/no-go meeting in just under 3 hours. It would be very helpful if people could help fill in at least the Alpha tests for each desktop in the desktop testing matrix: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_14_Alpha_RC3_Desktop thanks a lot! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Reminder: Bugzilla UPGRADE to 3.6 on August 13th 9:00 p.m.EDT [01:00 UTC]
by John Poelstra 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

Sending on behalf of Dave Lawrence. This will affect Fedora too. REMINDER: Red Hat Bugzilla (bugzilla.redhat.com) will be unavailable on August 13th starting at 9:00 p.m. EDT [01:00 UTC] to perform an upgrade from Bugzilla 3.4 to Bugzilla 3.6. We are hoping to be complete in no more than 5 hours barring any problems. Any services relying on bugzilla.redhat.com may not work properly during this time. Please be aware in case you need use of those services during the outage. Also *PLEASE* make sure any scripts or other external applications that rely on bugzilla.redhat.com are tested against our test server before the upgrade if you have not done so already (see original email below). Let the Bugzilla Team know immediately of any issues found by reporting the bug in bugzilla.redhat.com against the Bugzilla product, version 3.6. ------------------------------------------- Greetings, The Red Hat Bugzilla team is happy to announce another public beta release of the next version of Red Hat Bugzilla based on the upstream 3.6 code base. Please test drive at: https://partner-bugzilla.redhat.com Over the years Red Hat has made substantial customizations to Bugzilla to fit into the Engineering tool chain. Over time the upstream has incorporated some of these customizations or solved them in different ways. Upgrading reduces our customization footprint (and thus maintenance) while bringing many bug fixes & enhancements. The main area of focus for our public betas is stability. Functionality that currently works in our 3.4 code base should continue to work as expected in the new 3.6 release. These include various ajax optimizations, needinfo actor support, frontpage.cgi, product browser, several various UI enhancements, and of course the XMLRPC API. Please feel free to point your various scripts and third party applications that use the XMLRPC API at the test server to make sure they continue to function properly. There are numerous other changes behind the scenes that we haven't listed. The goal is to make sure that functionality that people have come to expect in 3.4 is possible in the new system. There are also numerous new features/fixes that are part of the upstream 3.6 release. For more detailed information on what has changed since the last release, check out the release notes page at https://partner-bugzilla.redhat.com/page.cgi?id=release-notes.html . The database is a recent snapshot of the live database so should be useful for testing to make sure the information is displayed properly and changeable. Also with a full snapshot it is possible to test for any performance related issues. Email has been disabled so that unnecessary spam is not sent out. So feel free to make changes to bugs to verify proper working order. We are asking for everyone to get involved as much as possible with testing and feedback on the beta releases to help us make this the most robust and stable release possible. Please file any enhancement requests or bug reports in our current Bugzilla system at https://bugzilla.redhat.com . File them under the Bugzilla product and relevant component with the version 3.6. With everyone's help we can make this a great release. Thanks The Red Hat Bugzilla Team
