QA/Meetings/20090429

= Attendees =


 * Will Woods (wwoods)
 * Adam Williamson (adamw)
 * James Laska (jlaska)

= Previous meeting follow-up =


 * [adamw] - post to fedora forums asking for feedback on pulseaudio issues
 * Posted to http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=220343
 * Not a large number of negative responses

= Autoqa update =


 * wwoods noted there have been no updates since last week
 * jlaska said that Jon Stanley enabled the TRAC instance on http://autoqa.fedorahosted.org and will begin adding tasks for the issues discussed during last autoqa meeting w/ jkeating and wwoods
 * jlaska+wwoods confirmed that things were on track for enabling automated test results sent to autoqa-results by F-11-GA

= F-11-GA Prep =

jlaska expressed interest in trying to identify a more specific date QA can plan for a hand-off from releng. The current schedule has a big window for "prepare and test" from 2009-05-12 to 2009-05-21. Wwoods noted that it depends on what the blocker list looks like, there's no reason to build a RC if there are known blocker bugs. Jlaska agreed, but noted it's difficult to plan QA time for testing the RC without specifics.

There was discussion around the F11Blocker bug and several strategies for reviewing the ~76 blocker bugs in the next 2 weeks. Consensus was to divide up the bugs by component groups, which is currently what adamw has been doing for xorg-x11 bugs. The agreed components to review were:


 * SELinux - wwoods
 * pulseaudio driver issues - wwoods
 * installer - jlaska
 * xorg-x11 - adamw
 * Volume control - adamw

= Call for Virtualization test cases =

jlaska noted that the upcoming Virtualization test day needs volunteers to help define test cases for the test areas already specified. Adamw recommended putting a call out to fedora-test-list for volunteers.

= Open discussion =

Failing disk icon
Seems to be a commonly reported issue on fedora-test-list (see https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-April/msg01593.html)

Updated preupgrade package

 * wwoods announced a new version of preupgrade

new version (1.1.0), some new code, lots of bugfixes it now attempts to enable new versions of every [enabled] repo on your system so you should get upgrades with updates + rpmfusion switched from bzr to git

Yum upgrades between Fedora releases
Adamw noted a https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=494046 which breaks yum upgrade from f10 to f11 within a gnome terminal. The bug is currently on the F11Target bug list.

wwoods discussed this issue with skvidal and indicated skvidal plans to get that bug onto the common bugs page. Wwoods will also be the lucky recipient of any future yum upgrade bugs.

jlaska asked if upgrading to a new fedora release was a documented upgrade path. According to the installation guide (http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f10/en_US/sn-upgrade-tree.html) it is not. Jlaska also asked if it was worth adding a section about "Upgrading using yum" that would include a strong message advising against it. Wwoods felt this should be kept as an undocumented behavior.
