Fedora 22 Beta Test Compose 1 (TC1) Available Now!
by Adam Williamson 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

A bit ahead of the Fedora 22 schedule [1], Fedora 22 Beta Test Compose 1 (TC1) is now available for testing. This wasn't scheduled till next week, but releng needed to test some changes to the compose process and figured they may as well do it by running a TC1 compose - so it's up for testing if anyone wants to do it. It'd be great to get results in early for all the Beta and Final validation tests. This compose has no specially-requested packages, it'll be very similar to the 03-10 or 03-11 (not sure which) nightly. As this wasn't formally requested by QA, there isn't a trac ticket yet. Please see the following pages for download links and testing instructions. Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide the fastest download, but download- ib01.fedoraproject.org is available as a mirror (with an approximately 1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To use it, just replace "dl" with "download-ib01" in the download URL. Installation: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test Base: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test Workstation and Desktop: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test Server: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Server_Test Cloud: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Cloud_Test Summary: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Summary All Beta priority test cases for each of these test pages [2] must pass in order to meet the Beta Release Criteria [3]. For the Fedora 22 cycle we are also trying to run the Beta and Final tests at this time, to try and identify later release blocker bugs as early as possible.

Announcing the release of Fedora 22 Alpha!
by Dennis Gilmore 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Fedora 22 Alpha Release Announcement ==================================== The Fedora 22 Alpha release has arrived, with a preview of the latest free and open source technology under development. Take a peek inside! • Get Fedora 22 Alpha Workstation https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/prerelease/ • Get Fedora 22 Alpha Server https://getfedora.org/en/server/prerelease/ • Get Fedora 22 Alpha Cloud https://getfedora.org/en/cloud/prerelease/ • Get Fedora 22 Alpha Spins https://spins.fedoraproject.org/prerelease What is the Alpha release? ========================== The Alpha release contains all the exciting features of Fedora 22's editions in a form that anyone can help test. This testing, guided by the Fedora QA team, helps us target and identify bugs. When these bugs are fixed, we make a Beta release available. A Beta release is code-complete and bears a very strong resemblance to the third and final release. The final release of Fedora 22 is expected in May. We need your help to make Fedora 22 the best release yet, so please take some time to download and try out the Alpha and make sure the things that are important to you are working well. If you find a bug, please report it – every bug you uncover is a chance to improve the experience for millions of Fedora users worldwide. Together, we can make Fedora 22 another rock-solid release. We have a culture of coordinating new features and pushing fixes upstream as much as feasible, and your feedback will help improve not only Fedora but Linux and free software on the whole. Fedora 22 Cloud =============== The Fedora 22 Cloud Edition builds on the work completed during the Fedora 21 cycle, and brings in a number of improvements that make Fedora 22 a superb choice for running Linux in the cloud. Ready for the Fedora 22 release, we have: • The latest versions of rpm-ostree and rpm-ostree-toolbox. You can even use rpm-ostree-toolbox to generate your own Atomic hosts from a custom set of packages. • A Vagrant image for Fedora 22 Atomic Host and Cloud Images. We're supplying Vagrant boxes that work with KVM or VirtualBox, so users on Fedora will be able to easily consume the Vagrant images with KVM, and users on Mac OS X or Windows can use the VirtualBox image. • Tunir: A new, lightweight Continuous Integration (CI) tool for rapid testing of cloud images. While being driven by the need for simple CI for the Cloud Working Group, it's generic enough to be used by anyone to configure and run jobs/tests on their local system. Fedora 22 Server ================ The Fedora 22 Server Edition brings several changes that will improve Fedora for use as a server in your environment. • Database Server Role: Fedora 21 introduced Rolekit, a daemon for Linux systems that provides a stable D-Bus interface to manage deployment of server roles. The Fedora 22 release adds onto that work with a database server role based on PostgreSQL. • Cockpit Updates: The Cockpit Web-based management application has been updated to the latest upstream release which adds many new features as well as a modular design for adding new functionality. Fedora 22 Workstation ===================== As always, Fedora carries a number of improvements to make life better for its desktop users! Here's some of the goodness you'll get in Fedora 22 Workstation edition. Enhancements: • The GNOME Shell notification system has been redesigned and subsumed into the calendar widget. • The Terminal now notifies you when a long running job completes. • The login screen now uses Wayland by default. This is a step towards replacing X with Wayland, and users should not actually notice the difference. • Installation of GStreamer codecs, fonts, and certain document types is now handled by Software, instead of gnome-packagekit. • The Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) now features better notifications, and uses the privacy control panel in GNOME to control information sent. Appearance: • The Nautilus file manager has been improved to use GActions, from the deprecated GtkAction APIs, for a better, more consistent experience. • The GNOME Shell has a refreshed theme for better usability. • The Qt/Adwaita theme is now code complete, and Qt notifications have been improved for smoother experience using Qt-based apps in Workstation. Under the covers: • The libinput library is now used for both X11 and Wayland for consistent input device handling. Spins • Plasma 5, the successor to KDE Plasma 4, is now the default workspace in the Fedora KDE spin. • The Xfce spin has been updated to Xfce 4.12 just in time for the Alpha release. This release has an enormous number of improvements, including HiDPI support, improvements to window tiling, support for Gtk3 plugins, and many improvements for multi-monitor support. Issues and Details ================== This is an Alpha release. As such, we expect that you may encounter bugs or missing features. To report issues encountered during testing, contact the Fedora QA team via the test mailing list or in #fedora-qa on freenode. As testing progresses, common issues are tracked on the Common F22 Bugs page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F22_bugs For tips on reporting a bug effectively, read "how to file a bug report:" https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_file_a_bug_report Release Schedule ================ The full release schedule is available on the Fedora wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/22/Schedule The current schedule calls for a beta release in the middle of April, and a final release in the second half of May. These dates are subject to change, pending any major bugs or issues found during the development process. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJU/vl4AAoJEH7ltONmPFDRK6sP/1dLHhetrjwNHFwQiZqwEH1A wur8X0EVfzGLKlsf/MHACVV95LdeL6DozPaIs+a5PZZ+KVGvp3vBND24uqQEzKqz la9hSKXccnb4ck80wRh3FN9lsEN/Dr1s7E18p5flEJYbgY4JLDJM+wj7tkReoKsF I1eUhUvBeHREgNdf1dX5EUc3PzKbWvpf83NsZeS7zoH7rFCo6nW7zY4s1HkSeBbw UZeEkdPCDfw1bpgJpeshE14MsezWSlR7NpiIKf9eGi5XGlD8B4KbLZvnks7A9eUX Hm1ZBVMn2a4JlAZAD1H67xrV5V+F2oNgj6tty0fjUoKLEvGQObcVm8r4+57mTfXz Onjou/65+9boiOMpCO78cHbPafCvaQYs7LoWpnteTCWxPaXSQFJWQUW624pL88nd P+TpMFUG0h8Euuhig7VEz66taLz2EuhICERERMO+H3q+5Te3D05XcOFUdCbxNfkA fcdvRIqYp7nOspnVdgiiP1jv4AeIZ/yBbqtyYOG/t9prz2vr1eOhvieZ+J0XNMpA 3RPihtRQD0hrpv/3BZ7/Xv2Uel7gg8ODA2MNL9I0tkmHW08I8qfFOUgMuRpeArSR uPHvZod+CxmeZK6wUMqLLLj9pv/a/FXhT6T+7O+Mo6I23FqTbKVRIPQ7hVhUYpkk pWLC0CMq1Yth9MW4QhKV =NCvz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Fedora 22 Alpha Release Candidate 3 (RC3) Available Now!
by Adam Williamson 06 Mar '15

06 Mar '15

As per the Fedora 22 schedule [1], Fedora 22 Alpha Release Candidate 3 (RC3) is now available for testing. No, you didn't miss RC1 and RC2 - RC1 was aborted when we found a new blocker soon after it was started, and the RC2 compose failed due to some kind of conflict with the RC1 process. So RC3 is the first completed compose since TC8. We are aiming to complete the tests today and run a second Go/No-Go meeting at 14:30 UTC (that's about six hours from now) to give us a chance to ship RC3 on schedule if it turns out to pass the testing. So please, help with the tests if you can, and if you run into any blockers, be sure to file them and nominate them so we don't miss them! Content information, including changes, can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/6102# comment:15 (and comment #16).

Fedora 22 Alpha is No-Go but second sign-off try is tomorrow
by Jaroslav Reznik 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Hi! Today at Fedora 22 Alpha Go/No-Go meeting it was decided that Fedora 22 Alpha is No-Go as no release candidate is available. More details in meeting minutes [1]. But as we're looking pretty good and RC1 compose is undergoing right now (estimate delivery is 3:00 UTC on Friday), we decided to try the seconnd Go/No-Go meeting tomorrow. Earlier to give rel-eng chance to prepare the content for mirroring. The next Go/No-Go meeting is on Friday, Mar 06 8:30 AM CST/14:30 UTC #fedora-meeting-2 channel. [1] http://bit.ly/1H0LMmC

Fedora 22 Alpha blocker status #1
by Adam Williamson 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

Hi, folks! Time (and past time) for a Fedora 22 blocker status review. Sorry this is late; we've been fighting fires for the last week :( Here are your outstanding blockers requiring attention from test, devel, or both: ARM/KERNEL: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1183807 "network spoke listed as not connected despite having assigned IP and hostname" - anaconda team have the impression that this is an ARM- specific kernel issue to do with renaming of ethernet devices on ARM; could do with input from ARM folks. ANACONDA: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1197290"realm crash during kickstart" - this needs re-testing with the fixed anaconda, except the 'fixed' anaconda is DOA due to other issues; I've alerted the anaconda team to the issues. CLOUD: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1194490"Recent cloud builds fail to boot with kernel panic" - this could do with a status update; I get the impression it may be a bit out of date, but as of now it shows as NEW. Could cloud folks please review? FREEIPA / SSSD: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1197218 "Add missing dependencies into freeipa packages" - this still appears to need attention, but it may no longer block release as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1014594has been pulled in as a freeze exception. It would be good to get clarification on the current status - sgallagh? FREEIPA: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1195811"PKI fails to install, missing support for Tomcat 8.0" - the Tomcat 7 revert is built and in updates-testing thanks to sgallagh, we will need to test it now, whether with scratch images or by rolling a TC9 tomorrow. NETWORKMANAGER: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1193127 "dhclient is started by NetworkManager at disconnection instead of at connection time" - this seems to be a straight-up NM bug affecting wired network connections on some hardware (at least recent Thinkpads) that still requires developer attention. XORG: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1196676"X fails to start when booting x86_64 netinst on basic graphic mode (nomodeset)" - this requires developer attention; it's been discussed on the list already, but a fix hasn't appeared yet. For testers, the list of builds requiring karma is quite light right now. As anaconda is currently known to be broken, it's really only the tomcat reversion, https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/tomcat-7.0.59-3.fc22. It would help a lot if folks who are able to test FreeIPA deployments can test with that Tomcat and confirm that FreeIPA works with it. We will probably want to roll a new compose tomorrow, ideally with an updated anaconda, but we cannot roll an RC yet due to several blockers still being outstanding (most of the above). As Go/No-Go is scheduled for Thursday we're unfortunately very likely to slip Alpha at this point :( Despite our attempts to test earlier in the cycle, many late-landing changes caused problems, and we were not able to test the flavor/Product-ized images until the first TC landed. The GCC rebuild certainly seems to have caused its fair share of havoc :(. Aside from the bugs listed above we have a near-blocker for the KDE images - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1194682- which is still being worked on. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

Fedora 22 Alpha Go/No-Go Meeting, Thursday, March 05 @ 17:00 UTC
by Jaroslav Reznik 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

Join us on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting-2 for this important meeting, wherein we shall determine the readiness of the Fedora 22 Alpha. Thursday, March 05, 2015 17:00 UTC (12 noon EST, 9 AM PST, 18:00 CET) "Before each public release Development, QA and Release Engineering meet to determine if the release criteria are met for a particular release. This meeting is called the Go/No-Go Meeting." "Verifying that the Release criteria are met is the responsibility of the QA Team." Release Candidate (RC) availability and good QA coverage are prerequisites for the Go/No-Go meeting. We don't have RC yet as the list of accepted blockers is still pretty long. If you have any bug on the list, please help us with Alpha release. If we won't be ready by Thursday, we will use this meeting to review blockers and decide what to do. For more details about this meeting see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Go_No_Go_Meeting In the meantime, keep an eye on the Fedora 22 Alpha Blocker list: http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/22/alpha/buglist Jaroslav

# F22 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2015-03-02 # Time: 1700 UTC # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net It's Blocker Review time again! We have quite the list of proposed blockers and FEs to review ahead of what's planned as the last week of Alpha testing, so let's get through them! If you want to take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers, the full list can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ Make sure to click through the milestones to see how many we have before the meeting! We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F22 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 Have a good weekend and see you Monday!
