Fedora 21 Beta RC2 status is **FAILED**, RC3 will be coming
by Adam Williamson 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

Wanted to keep everyone in the loop so people don't feel like their time has been wasted. We discovered at the blocker review meeting today that there's a problem with the RC2 compose. Blocker and FE packages that were pushed stable yesterday - https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5988#comment:17 - were taken out of the 'bleed' repository where blocker/FE fixes are pulled into composes before they go stable, but they did not actually get mashed/distributed in time to be included in the RC2 compose. The upshot is that RC2 has incorrect (old) versions of initscripts, systemd and fedup-dracut. This means that RC2 will be subject to at least https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1114786 , https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1099299 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1146580 , so it definitely cannot be released as the Beta. We will need an RC3 compose, and testing of RC2 will not be sufficient to clear RC3 for release due to the significance of systemd. Testing of RC2 is not entirely useless - it's still useful to check there are no regressions in anaconda 21.48-13, for instance - but we will need to do a good degree of testing on RC3 when it lands later today before we can consider clearing RC3 for release. I'm very sorry to folks who've already put work into testing RC2 for the mistake. Keep your eyes peeled for RC3! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

2014-10-27 @ 15:00 UTC - Fedora QA Meeting
by Adam Williamson 27 Oct '14

27 Oct '14

# Fedora Quality Assurance Meeting # Date: 2014-10-27 # Time: 15:00 UTC (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto) # Location: #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net Greetings testers! It's meeting time again tomorrow! Right now I only have one topic for the agenda, but it's a biggy - let's make sure everyone's pointed in the same direction for 21 Beta validation. Many thanks to everyone who helped out so much with the validation efforts last week - it wasn't for lack of effort on our part that the slip was necessary! I'm hoping we'll be able to roll an RC2 on Monday and ideally that, or if we find any other issues an RC3 on Tuesday, will be shippable and no more validation heroics will be required! == Proposed Agenda Topics == 1. Fedora 21 Beta status 2. Open floor -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

Fedora 21 Beta to slip
by Jaroslav Reznik 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

Today at Go/No-Go meeting it was decided to slip Fedora 21 Beta release as we did not have release candidate (RC) available in time. However we will try one day slip. The next Go/No-Go meeting is on Friday, Oct 24, the same time at #fedora-meeting-2 channel. Any help with release validation once RC is out is very appreciated!

2014-10-22 @ 1600 UTC ** Fedora 21 Blocker Review Meeting
by Mike Ruckman 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

# F21 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2014-10-22 # Time: 16:00 UTC (12:00 EDT, 09:00 PDT) # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net We've already had one blocker review meeting this week (which is likely why I forgot to send this email until now), but it's time for another! With Go/No-Go being decided tomorrow we have plenty to do in order to be ready. So far we've got 9 proposed blockers and and 4 proposed freeze exceptions to look through for this meeting. If you want to take a look at the accepted blockers, the full list can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/21/beta/buglist We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate the Beta Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F21 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting See you in a couple hours!
