Fedora 17 Alpha status: outstanding blockers

[Adam Williamson]

Hi, folks. To try and help avoid slips this release cycle, I'll be
notifying this list more systematically of outstanding blocker bugs as
we approach RC spin dates and release dates. Starting now!

We are due to compose the first Fedora 17 Alpha release candidate this
Thursday. In order to spin a release candidate build, all blocker bugs
must be addressed. As of now, the following confirmed blocker bugs are
outstanding:

1. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=787744 - "RuntimeError:
device is already mapped (F17 Alpha TC1)" - this one is likely fixed in
TC2 and only requires re-testing by QA.

2. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=787261 - "Fedora 17 Alpha
TC1 still has all F16 artwork" - we have (temporary?) F17 backgrounds
now, but still no update to fedora-logos. We need spot and the design
team to get on top of this one.

3. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=789181 - "repoclosure
failure on 17-Alpha.TC2 DVDs (gnome-python2-bonobo-2.28.1-8.fc17)" -
this is a 'repoclosure' issue, which means that there are dependency
issues with a package on the DVD image. We need to track down the
ultimate problem here by walking the dep chain. It looks like some very
old GNOME stuff is still in something's dep chain and that's causing
problems.

4. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=789180 - "repoclosure
failure on 17-Alpha.TC2 DVDs (libguestfs-1.17.4-7.fc17)" - this is
another repoclosure issue similar to the above.

5. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=787781 - "Lorax Templates
are deleting required binaries post usrmove" - this is likely fixed
already, just needs confirmation from QA.

6. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=788829 - "Cannot log in
with SELinux enabled in 2012-02-08 rawhide" - this is the big bug with
systemd that causes all kinds of issues if you try and boot with selinux
enabled in current Rawhide. We need the systemd maintainers to get on
top of this one.

Again, we need all of the above issues to be addressed in order to spin
the first RC build on time on Thursday, so if you are responsible for
any of the above bugs please work on it ASAP, and if you're not but you
have useful ideas / information, please chime in on the bug! Thanks.
