kparal jlaska: jskladan regrets but can't attend 15:04
jlaska kparal: okay, thanks. Hope all is well 15:04
jlaska We didn't gather for a meeting last week ... so I don't have any action items 15:04
jlaska but there were a few items from the Friday blocker review 15:04
jlaska #info adamw reached out to rdieter for status of 684846 - COMPLETED 15:05

jlaska #info jlaska - test 700085 using an updates.img prior to Final TC1 - COMPLETED - just tsted ... looks good 15:06
jlaska tflink: sounds like you're more up to speed on that 15:06
jlaska That's all I have on my list ... any other outstanding items from last week? 15:07
jlaska alright, moving on ... 15:07
jlaska #topic F-15-Final-TC1 status 15:07
jlaska According to the schedule, Final TC1 should be arriving sometime today 15:08
jlaska #link http://rbergero.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-15/f-15-quality-tasks.html 15:08
jlaska I didn't see any Final rel-eng tickets yet, so I created 2 so we can track any bodhi updates that need to be included 15:08
jlaska #link https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/4685 15:08
jlaska and ... 15:08
jlaska #link https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/4686 15:09
adamw cool 15:09
jlaska adamw: I *think* I got all the items we noted from last Friday .. but lemme know if I missed any 15:09
jlaska if these tickets get closed or dup'd by any autogenerated ones, let's just make sure the list of updates is fwd'd 15:09
jlaska I still need to catch up with clumens for a anaconda-15.30-1 build, but I know he's already started the process on his end 15:10
jlaska the blocker list seems to have cleaned up well since Friday 15:10
jlaska #link Current_Release_Blockers 15:10
maxamillion bah! ... Re: Roll Call - /me is here 15:10
jlaska Hi maxa :) 15:10
adamw you're late, stand in the corner 15:10
jlaska we have 2 proposed items ... any objections if we attempt to knock those out here (*quickly*)? 15:11
jlaska #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700967 15:11
jlaska ^^^ seems pretty straight forward 15:11
jlaska This appears to impact the final criteria "All applications listed under the Applications menu or category must start successfully" 15:12
jlaska and this is for KDE ... which does qualify as a blocker I believe 15:12
adamw sure 15:12
jlaska any comments/objections? 15:12
jlaska +1 Blocker for that 15:12
adamw +1 15:12
* maxamillion stands in the corner in shame 15:13
maxamillion +1 15:13
maxamillion (from the corner) 15:13
jlaska #agreed 700967 - AcceptedBlocker - Impacts basic application functionality for s-c-lang when run by KDE 15:13
jlaska adamw: I'll note in the bz post-meeting 15:13
adamw ok 15:13
jlaska #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696278 15:13
jlaska I don't feel any closer to understanding this issue 15:14
jlaska I've got a preupgrade test inprogress, so we'll see 15:14
jlaska but still no idea what the root cause is here 15:14
jlaska adamw: any brilliant ideas on your end? 15:14
brunowolff +1 for 700967 as well (I was reading it while you guys were voting) 15:14
adamw reading 15:15
jlaska brunowolff: noted, thank you 15:15
adamw oh, that one 15:15
jlaska yeah :( 15:15
adamw well no, i had no real idea before and i don't now 15:15
adamw it's worth noting that we only guarantee upgrades from _clean install_ 15:15
adamw "The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade installation from a clean, fully updated default installation (from any official install medium) of the previous stable Fedora release, either via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually. " 15:15
adamw we don't really guarantee any upgrade from a 'real' working system; it's just too hard to do 15:16
jlaska definitely 15:16
jlaska I asked for a slew of additional logs from their systems 15:16
adamw so if neither of them hit this on a clean install that could be a -1 15:16
jlaska maybe that'll help us figure out the paths taken 15:16
jlaska and we'll get some good preupgrade testing this week against TC1 ... that'll be informative 15:16
adamw we'd still want to look at getting it fixed, of course, but it might not be a blocker 15:17
adamw yep 15:17
brunowolff It sounds like it could still be NTH if many people might experience this on upgrade. 15:17
adamw brunowolff: sure, could be 15:17
jlaska so ... shall we keep this as is until we can further pinpoint _a_ cause? 15:17
jlaska it sounds like it's still in triage to me ... nothing tangible for a maintainer yet 15:17
jlaska ack/nak/patch? 15:17
maxamillion I think the statement might also mention something about "upgrade not guaranteed in a situation where third party repositories are enabled and any software installed from outside of the official Fedora repositories is not guaranteed to work post-upgrade" 15:18
maxamillion </random_thoughts> 15:18
brunowolff It would be nice to keep an eye on it in blocker discussions until we have a better idea of the cause. 15:18
jlaska brunowolff: right ... I don't think we need to Reject it yet 15:18
tflink jlaska: ack 15:18
adamw jlaska: ack 15:18
jlaska so I guess the decision is ot keep i on the proposed list for now ... continue monitoring (and hopefully attempting to recreate the failure) 15:18
adamw maxamillion: i'd worry about the precedent of describing a negative case in the criteria 15:18
adamw maxamillion: it could be a slippery slope:) 15:19
adamw writing down all the things that aren't covered would take a while... 15:19
jlaska #agreed 696278 - Continue traiging - Still unclear on the exact cause, and the exact failure. Requested additional logs from reporters, preupgrade is planned for testing against TC1 15:19
maxamillion adamw: good point 15:19
jlaska okay, thanks ... this concludes our mini blocker review 15:20
jlaska I know kparal and vhumpa wanted to experience taste  :) 15:20
maxamillion adamw: I just worry more about unrealistic expectations of users ... but I do agree that the documentation would quickly get overly verbose 15:20
jlaska so ... stay tuned to those rel-eng tickets for when ISO's arrive 15:20
kparal jlaska: thank you :) 15:21
jlaska robatino: will you be doing the wiki updates and announcements, or will that be Tao Wu? 15:21
jlaska kparal: trust me, my pleasure!! :D 15:21
robatino jlaska: afaik it'll be me 15:21
jlaska robatino: okay ... drop me a line if I can help in any way. You've clearly done it before and I think qualify as an expert here :) 15:21
jlaska If no other thoughts on F15-Final-TC1 ... we'll move on 15:22
robatino i'll be fully spelling out "test compose" and "release candidate" in the announcements since there were complaints in the devel list 15:22
adamw robatino: great thinking 15:22
jlaska robatino: heh, sure. I hadn't realized those weren't generally accepted terms. Yeah +good_idea :) 15:22
jlaska Note, TC1 will mark the start of a hectic 2+ weeks 15:23
jlaska I know everyone will do there best to stay on top of bugs, and provide feedback in a timely manner 15:23
jlaska if anything feels stuck or is missing information ... don't hesitate to make noise 15:23
jlaska #topic AutoQA update 15:24
jlaska kparal, also known as the most interesting man in the world ... take it away 15:24
kparal not me, that's our mascot 15:24
kparal http://troll.me/images/the-most-interesting-man-in-the-world/i-dont-always-test-my-code-but-when-i-do-i-do-it-in-production.jpg.pagespeed.ce.rM9YUkz0Br.jpg 15:25
kparal alright 15:25
kparal Here's a short update from the AutoQA world. 15:25
maxamillion kparal: greast poster *EVAR* 15:25
kparal maxamillion: kudos to jlaska 15:25
kparal #info As you might have noticed, we have released AutoQA 0.4.7 last week. 15:25
kparal #link https://kparal.wordpress.com/2011/04/29/autoqa-0-4-7-released/ 15:25
* jlaska does a dance ... nice work team 15:25
kparal We hope that we have finally fixed all problems in depcheck and upgradepath tests and they will produce correct results now. 15:26
kparal In the meantime we have received some complaints about the number of emails AutoQA sends (through Bodhi comments) and the readability of the logs. 15:26
kparal According to tflink's suggestion we have decided to concentrate on those complaints first. Therefore we have wiped all the previous plans for 0.5.0 and started from scratch. 15:26
kparal #info The main topic of the next 0.5.0 release should be "making AutoQA outputs more maintainer-friendly". 15:26
kparal That mainly includes sending less emails and improving contents of our logs. 15:26
adamw sounds like a good idea 15:27
jlaska I trust those changes will be well received by devel@ 15:27
kparal usual call: If anyone has some suggestions related to that, please send your ideas to autoqa-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org. 15:27
kparal And that's all! (in a nutshell) 15:28
jlaska [ OK ] dist-f15 + dist-f15-updates 15:28
jlaska I love that update ... boy, I completely missed that idea a while ago 15:28
adamw i guess you did a quick list based on the feedback received so far already? 15:28
kparal adamw: quick list of what? we have filed some tickets in our Trac according to the feedback 15:29
kparal and we discuss them on autoqa-devel 15:29
jlaska I think discussion of those is still underway? 15:29
kparal yes 15:29
* kparal is just writing one reply 15:29
jlaska or ... there is a tentative meeting scheduled for this week? 15:29
jlaska s/or/and/ 15:29
adamw kparal: quick list of ideas 15:30
tflink yeah, we're waiting on scheduling feedback for that one 15:30
adamw so the answer's yes :) 15:30
kparal jlaska: we just agreed with tflink we could have conference call tentatively on wednesday. depends on jskladan 15:30
kparal adamw: yes :) 15:30
kparal we don't want to fail our maintainers, that's our user base :) 15:31
jlaska anything else exciting on the AutoQA front? 15:31
jlaska seems like autoqa-0.4.7 went off without a glitch ... nicely done all 15:32
kparal I think that's all from this weel 15:32
kparal *week 15:32
jlaska okay, many thanks kparal tflink vhumpa jskladan :) 15:32
kparal jlaska: well, production testing seems to be working 15:32
kparal and jlaska 15:32

adamw prayers? 15:36
adamw :) 15:36
kparal 古池や蛙飛込む水の音ふるいけやかわずとびこむみずのおと 15:36
* vhumpa promises to read the log when he's done with evil JavaEE :-) 15:36
* kparal hopes it is a polite haiku 15:36
jlaska vhumpa: good luck with that beast! 15:36
* tflink shudders ... JavaEE 15:36
jlaska kparal: boy, you got me stumped on that one 15:37
tflink kparal: my japanese is a bit rusty but it looks OK to me 15:37
kparal ok, I admit, I copied that from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku#Examples 15:38
adamw kparal: that's what SHE said 15:38
kparal :) 15:38
jlaska adamw: LOL!! 15:38
jlaska good times in the land of Fedora QA  :) 15:38
jlaska #topic Open Discussion - <your topic here> 15:38
jlaska I think we've moved on this this #topic already :) 15:38
* adamw realizes 'that's what she said' is weirdly difficult to render in japanese 15:38
jlaska any business not already discussed that we need to consider? 15:38
adamw did we review the cloud test days? 15:39
jlaska robatino: Viking-Ice: anything items/concerns from you as we prepare for TC1? 15:39
tflink not that I'm aware of 15:39
robatino jlaska: session saving in upgrades 15:39
adamw there's a fix for that coming down the pipe afaik 15:40
tflink do we usually do the test day review or the group involved? 15:40
jlaska robatino: I saw your feedback in that bz ... I'll be sure to test that as well. While I did experience that random black background ... it seems to save the session and no longer hang on login anymore 15:40
adamw tflink: well, we usually just mention it in a meeting. the people running the test day should do the recap, but i can poke them to make sure it's going to happen 15:40
tflink K, I'll poke them but they're all at JBW this week 15:40
adamw ok 15:40
robatino i'm worried whether people who had it enabled before upgrade will have to struggle with it or it'll work immediately 15:41
adamw it looks like boxgrinder went off well and EC2 was DOA? 15:41
jlaska #info action tflink to follow-up with cloud sig for test day recap 15:41
jlaska tflink: thanks! 15:41
adamw jlaska: info or action? :) 15:41
jlaska adamw: doh, thanks 15:41
tflink yeah, I wasn't able to get any of the EC2 images to work 15:41
jlaska #undo 15:41
zodbot Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Info object at 0x14bc47cc> 15:41
jlaska #action tflink to follow-up with cloud sig for test day recap 15:41
tflink there has already been an update to BG for some of the issues found during the test day, though 15:41
jlaska robatino: I'll do another upgrade test after the meeting. We can sync up in #fedora-qa afterwards? 15:42
robatino i'll be there 15:42
jlaska re: cloud test day - there aren't a ton of results on the wiki ... but the channel seemed to be active all day long 15:42
jlaska so that seemed fairly positive 15:42
tflink jlaska: yeah, the number of people wasn't a whole lot 15:42
adamw tflink: nice. the testers were external too, right, not just people from the group? 15:42
tflink not sure - might have been from the BG community 15:43
adamw tflink: still counts =) 15:43
adamw jlaska: as long as the results were useful and we get some fixes i'd call that a win 15:43
jlaska #info Robatino expressed concerns about gnome-session-saving support for users upgrading from F14->F15. Will focus additional testing and review results in #fedora-qa 15:43
tflink adamw: there were people I didn't recognize, so if that's what you were asking - yeah 15:44
adamw cool 15:44
jlaska adamw: agreed ... I mentioned to tflink, I was keen on just getting some experience with these components ... not so interested in sheer results 15:44
jlaska s/sheer/number of/ 15:44
jlaska alright ... any other discussion items? 15:45
jlaska #info tflink and adamw discussed the Cloud SIG test day, tflink will follow-up with the Cloud SIG for an event recap 15:45
jlaska alright ... if no other topics ... let's #endmeeting in 1 minute 15:45
jlaska something always feels satisfying about not having a 1+ hour QA meeting 15:46
jlaska we save that for the blocker reviews :D 15:46
jlaska 10 seconds until #endmeeting ... 15:46
jlaska Thanks everyone for your time today! 15:46
jlaska I'll follow-up to the list with minutes 15:47
jlaska Good luck testing these next 2+ weeks 15:47
jlaska #endmeeting 15:47
