= Fedora Release Engineering Meeting :: Monday 14-MAY-07 =

Rawhide

 * Notting put a lot of work into getting rawhide to build again--see IRC log for how it works
 * Discussion of mash and future rawhide building plans

Current Issues and Freeze Status
1. beagle 1. wireless-tools 1. hal 1. mdraid
 * we agreed last week to revisit this week.
 * are we ready to freeze on Thursday?
 * discussion of packages causing problems
 * re-evaluate beagle and tracker for F8
 * bug #217031
 * maintainer made changes to comps
 * DECISION (UNANIMOUS): Accept maintainer's comps change, making beagle optional. Include it in manifest so that it is on media for upgrades.
 * newest wireless-tools has a patch that's supposed to fix 64-bit that actually breaks all wireless scanning on 64-bit systems.
 * https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-commits/2007-May/msg02800.html
 * warren will drive issue to conclusion
 * we not only need x86_64 testers, but also ppc and i386 to be sure the 64bit fix didn't break 32bit.
 * DECISION (UNANIMOUS): If that -3 build turns out to be No Good then we just revert the 64-bit patches entirely and call that -3 (or -4 or whatever)
 * wwoods--hal-0.5.9-6.fc7 fixed the suspend/resume quirks for some stuff (T60 maybe?), but broke it for others (my pitiable t43)
 * without passing the quirks there's no way suspend to work on large classes of laptops
 * ACTION: jeremy will try to get hughsie to take a look--davidz won't be back until the 20th.
 * wwoods--the old raidautorun stuff + IDE = doooom
 * wwoods will enage Peter Jones
 * realy need IDE drives to do good testing
 * lots of bugs; BZ: 151653, 231426, 238353, 221696, 213586, 238926
 * wwoods--never tested dmraid because no hardware; f13 is going to test now
 * DECISION: None reached


 * we should direct new packages to updates, not the final tree.
 * f13 will announce and update the freeze/release dates
 * everything must be done and ready for GA on 29-MAY-07

Outstanding GA Blocker Bugs

 * 81 bugs still on the fc7blocker
 * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/ReleaseCriteria provides guidance on release blockers
 * DECISION (UNANIMOUS):
 * Blocker only fixes starting Thursday (branch CVS same day)
 * Broken EVR paths and broken deps (including from the Merge) in the entire distro must be fixed before GA
 * wwoods to add this to release criteria

EULA

 * EULA only available online; not in the distro
