At the Fedora 16 Beta Go/No-Go Meeting yesterday, the Fedora 16 Beta
release was declared GOLD! Fedora 16 beta will be released on Tuesday,
October 4, 2011.

Major thanks to everyone who made this happen. There is no way that we
could have gotten all this done without everyone's hard work and
assistance.

---------------
* Who's Here?  (tflink, 21:03:42)
  * LINK:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=713564&hide_resolved=1
    (adamw, 21:09:08)

* why are we here  (tflink, 21:09:50)
  * We're here to see whether or not the beta release criteria have been
    met  (tflink, 21:10:22)
  * LINK: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_16_Beta_Release_Criteria
    (tflink, 21:10:30)

* current release blockers  (tflink, 21:10:44)
  * LINK:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=713564&hide_resolved=1
    (tflink, 21:10:53)
  * that list doesn't take accepted/proposed into account  (tflink,
    21:11:02)

* (725185) grubby doesn't add the initrd line at the kernel update
  (tflink, 21:11:57)
  * LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725185   (tflink,
    21:12:04)
  * AGREED: - 725185 - RejectedBlocker - This is a problem, but as long
    as the next kernel update requires this version of grubby, things
    should be OK and this potential issue can be fixed with an update
    post-beta.  (tflink, 21:20:20)

* (731529) grub making uefi calls without aligning stack pointer
  (tflink, 21:20:39)
  * LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731529   (tflink,
    21:20:45)
  * AcceptedBlocker, ON_QA  (tflink, 21:21:53)
  * AGREED: - 731529 - Move to VERIFIED - All of the EFI tests are
    pretty much working, other issues would have likely surfaced by now
    (tflink, 21:23:25)

* (737731) Bootloader is left in F15 configuration when preupgrading to
  F16  (tflink, 21:23:49)
  * LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737731   (tflink,
    21:23:54)
  * AcceptedBlocker, ASSIGNED  (tflink, 21:24:02)
  * AGREED: - 737731 - This needs to be fixed in F15 PreUpgrade and
    doesn't affect Beta compose. It doesn't appear to be in progress,
    need to revisit in the next couple of days.  (tflink, 21:26:52)

* (739253) unable to shut down from gdm greeter  (tflink, 21:27:13)
  * LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739253   (tflink,
    21:27:19)
  * AcceptedBlocker, MODIFIED  (tflink, 21:27:25)
  * AGREED: - 739253 - Move to VERIFIED - this has been fixed to the
    point that we expected - no power option in shell that fails. The
    power option will be restored in gnome-shell updates  (tflink,
    21:29:26)

* (742207) No usable bootloader option during a text mode f15->f16
  upgrade  (tflink, 21:30:04)
  * LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742207   (tflink,
    21:30:12)
  * Proposed Blocker, NEW  (tflink, 21:30:22)
  * ACTION: adamw or tflink - Document workaround for 742207  (tflink,
    21:35:10)
  * AGREED: - 742207 - RejectedBlocker, CommonBugs - This doesn't
    directly hit any beta release criterion, isn't the most common
    upgrade path and can be worked around. The workaround needs to be
    documented  (tflink, 21:35:22)

* (742226) /sbin/grub2-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for
  /dev/mapper/nvidia_cjfffajep2  (tflink, 21:36:37)
  * LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742226   (tflink,
    21:36:44)
  * Proposed Blocker, NEW  (tflink, 21:36:51)
  * AGREED: - 742226 - RejectedBlocker CommonBugs- BIOS Raid does work
    for some controllers but not all. Re-propose as final blocker and
    document for beta.  (tflink, 21:44:21)

* Test Coverage  (tflink, 21:46:06)
  * LINK:
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Kickstart_File_Path_Ks_Cfg
    (adamw, 21:47:27)
  * LINK:
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Install_to_Hardware_RAID
    (adamw, 21:47:36)
  * AGREED: - only one exotic kickstart delivery method is missing from
    test coverage, and we provisionally suggest the stranger kickstart
    delivery methods should not be beta critical; therefore deeming test
    coverage effectively complete, as we would not block even if that
    test failed  (adamw, 21:57:21)

* Is Fedora 16 Beta Ready to Go?  (tflink, 21:59:12)
  * QA is go for F16 Beta  (tflink, 21:59:48)
  * RelEng is go  (tflink, 22:00:10)
  * Devel is go  (tflink, 22:00:41)
  * AGREED: - Fedora 16 Beta RC4 is accepted as beta  (tflink, 22:01:35)

* Open Discussion  (tflink, 22:03:25)

Meeting ended at 22:04:55 UTC.
