Fwd: [Test-Announce] Fedora 38 Candidate RC-1.5 Available Now!

[Sumantro Mukherjee]

Hey All,

We are closing in on the Go/NoGo tonight and We would like to have as much
feedback as possible on this new 1.5 RC.
Also, there is a potential nvme bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2186358, people with nvme
storage devices with
free cycles, we do appreciate you testing this out!

Also, Fedora Media Writer hasn't been tested on Mac and Windows 11, so if
you have any of those, it would be great to have some
testing on those as well!

So, for a bit more back story: the only difference between 1.4 and 1.5
is (should be, anyway) that the lives and Server DVD of 1.5 include
nvme-cli. Otherwise there shouldn't be any difference.

We did 1.5 to give us another option to deal with
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2186358 at the go/no-go in
the morning. Unfortunately it seems a lot of images failed in the 1.5
build because of some kind of network issue - we're missing several
lives, and the x86_64 Silverblue installer image. We probably can't
really ship 1.5.

So, our options will be to ship 1.4 (i.e. reject or waive the nvme bug
as a blocker), ship some kind of hybrid of 1.4 and 1.5 (i.e. most of
1.4, but the Server DVD from 1.5, probably), or slip. We'll figure this
out at the meeting tomorrow.

All testing of 1.4 and 1.5 is useful; for 1.5 probably focus on smoke
tests of the Server images, and also confirming that it actually fixes
2186358 . For 1.4, if folks can fill out any remaining gaps in the
matrices that'd be great.

Thanks everyone!

FWIW from the alt-arch point of view the RC 1.5 is better (aka more
complete) than RC 1.4, which is mainly lacking the s390x cloud images.

Well, I'm not really sure. We track missing images. This is RC-1.4:

https://pagure.io/releng/failed-composes/issue/4851

This is RC-1.5:

https://pagure.io/releng/failed-composes/issue/4855

1.5 is definitely missing a *lot* more stuff.
