jlaska haha 15:03
jlaska well, glad to have you back 15:03
vaschenb kparal: psst :-) 15:03
jlaska I think wwoods is lurking ... we may need to lure him out with some treats 15:03
j_dulaney .bacon 15:04
zodbot I love bacon, you love bacon, WE ALL LOVE BACON! 15:04
jlaska that should do it, as long as it's soy bacon 15:04
jlaska okay ... let's get started 15:04
jlaska #topic Previous meeting follow-up 15:05
* wwoods appears in a puff of vegetarian bacon 15:05
jlaska eeew 15:05
jlaska :) 15:05
jlaska first, kparal, many thanks for wiki-zing the minutes from last week 15:05
jlaska I have an item for adamw and I, but I'll save that for when he's back 15:05
jlaska only other item ... 15:06
kparal jlaska: ah, I really wasn't good at it 15:06
jlaska #info j_dulaney discussed possible proventesters from his OS class 15:06
jlaska j_dulaney: any updates on this topic? 15:06
j_dulaney Classes start up late August 15:06
jlaska kparal: funny, I think the same thing about my notes each week too! 15:06
j_dulaney I want to say around the 22nd 15:07
jlaska okay ... anything you'd need in prep for classes? 15:07
jlaska feel free to raise in the meetings here, or on the list 15:07
j_dulaney Not sure just yet, still trying to work that out with Mr. Edwards. 15:08
jlaska Like adamw mentioned last time, we've had some experience with organizing QA events in a university setting ... but always looking for more opportunities 15:08
j_dulaney I'm thinking you'll get a flood of proventester requests 15:08
j_dulaney Of course, this is also assuming that enough people sign up for the class, which hasn't always happened. 15:09
jlaska okay, as we get closer, we may want to come up with some ideas to quickly process the flood 15:09
j_dulaney Righteo. I'll keep up on this end 15:10
jlaska j_dulaney: cool, let us know how we can help :) 15:10
jlaska alright ... a few quick #topic updates ... 15:10
j_dulaney Roger 15:10
jlaska #topic F-14 Alpha Test Compose -- it's dead Jim 15:11
fenris02 is there a new anaconda image coming rsn? 15:11
jlaska #info F-14 Alpha test compose CD and DVD images are available for test (see https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/3856) 15:11
j_dulaney I still have not been able to succeed in yum updating to it 15:11
kparal dead Jim? 15:12
jlaska fenris02: there is a new anaconda already in koji ... I'll need ot catch up with anaconda-devel to see if an even newer version is expected 15:12
j_dulaney Star Trek 15:12
kparal meaning it's completely broken? 15:12
jlaska #info Current F-14-Alpha blockers - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=611990&hide_resolved=1 15:12
fenris02 kparal, yes. py fail on bootup 15:12
jlaska kparal: yeah ... there's a ugly remnant of the python-2.7 migration .. 15:12
kparal fenris02: alright. little less work for me then :) 15:12
jlaska .bug 620274 15:12
zodbot jlaska: Bug 620274 pyconfig-32.h is missing, anaconda fails - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620274 15:12
jlaska I'll try an updates.img after the meeting (although this might not be updates.img-able) 15:13
j_dulaney I posted a similar bug, let me see if I can find it 15:13
jlaska will post to the mailing list if that helps get tests further along 15:13
jlaska so stay tuned ... we'll likely have new media for testing fairly soon 15:15
j_dulaney .bug 620082 15:15
zodbot j_dulaney: Bug 620082 Python dependance broken. - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620082 15:15
jlaska #info Testing currently blocked bug 620274 15:15
jlaska j_dulaney: your bug is different, but similar to what newgle posted on the install matrix (I think) ... 15:16
jlaska j_dulaney: still more fall-out from python-2.7 15:16
jlaska so stay tuned gang ... 15:16
j_dulaney Indeed 15:16
jlaska #topic Accepting Test Day Proposals 15:17
jlaska As adamw noted during open-discussion last week ... 15:17
jlaska #info Adamw notes that we're looking very light on test days for this cycle, so if anyone has any ideas, please pitch in 15:17
jlaska Hurry (rhe) gets the prize for the first F-14 test day on the schedule 15:17
jlaska #info Installer translation/keyboard test day scheduled (see http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/112) 15:17
jlaska Only thing I wanted to point out here was that we have a few proposals for events 15:18
jlaska #info Current proposed test days -- https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&component=Test+Day&milestone=Fedora+14&order=priority 15:18
jlaska But if you have a good idea for a test day, or want to host one ... please submit an idea 15:19
jlaska #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/Create 15:19
jlaska alright ... flying through the agenda today 15:19
jlaska #topic AutoQA package acceptance update 15:19
jlaska Quite a bit of movement in recent days ... wwoods, can you walk through recent updates and next steps? 15:20
wwoods well, we've been working on some patches to lay groundwork we need for advanced testing 15:20
wwoods kparal wrote some patches that rework how tests handle their arguments and how they can label themselves as requiring certain capabilities 15:21
wwoods like what arch they want to run on or whether they need virt capabilities 15:21
kparal or distro 15:22
wwoods right 15:22
jlaska there's a friendly wiki doc for that ... 15:22
jlaska #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Managing_autotest_labels 15:22
wwoods it lets the tests use various labels that we've defined in autotest for the test hosts 15:22
wwoods which is awesome. there was also a patch from jskladan that moved all the tests to using a common base class 15:23
wwoods which lets us define some default behaviors for autoqa tests, like sending mail and/or reporting to a future resultdb 15:23
wwoods without having to add code to every test 15:23
wwoods which is also awesome 15:23
* j_dulaney likes less work 15:23
wwoods and (IIRC) vaschenb wrote a 'helloworld' test that we can use to be sure that tests are running properly 15:24
kparal the changes are not really documented on our wiki yet 15:24
jlaska that is a nice improvement ... I was getting worried with maintaining all that results mail code in each test 15:24
wwoods which has been really useful in testing all the (fairly invasive) changes we've made here 15:24
wwoods so - huge thanks to kparal, jskladan, and vaschenb for all their work 15:25
wwoods there's more than this but those are the hilights for the moment 15:25
j_dulaney When can we expect some Wiki love so that us newbs can get in on the fun? 15:25
wwoods so the next steps are to finish testing, merge the code into the master branch, and write some docs on the new changes 15:25
kparal j_dulaney: sure. in the meantime just look at the doc/ directory 15:25
kparal (that is new there) 15:26
j_dulaney kparal: Roger 15:26
wwoods once the new code is deployed I'm going to resume work on getting depcheck up and running as promised 15:26
jlaska jskladan mentioned he was looking into updating https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Writing_AutoQA_Tests once those patches all land in master 15:26
wwoods I think I saw some test code kicking around - using rpmfluff(?) to generate RPMs with certain dependency structures that we can use as tests cases 15:27
* kparal has a question 15:27
wwoods so that'll probably be the next major target - using various resources (like https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Lessons) to design test cases for depcheck 15:27
wwoods to make sure it's handling everything as expected 15:27
j_dulaney I was going to work on that, but my lack of python knowledge got in the way 15:27
* j_dulaney is working on learning Python 15:28
kparal wwoods: what's the current status of post-bodhi-update hook? 15:28
wwoods there are a lot of other important things in the works - they might be able to be done in parallel with that effort, if we have enough free time. but we'll see. 15:28
wwoods kparal: should be merged and functional, I believe? 15:28
wwoods if it's not, we should fix that. it has a couple of known shortcomings but should be good enough for what we want to do 15:29
wwoods and now that we can have multihook tests we can wire up rpmlint/rpmdiff there, if we like 15:29
kparal wwoods: well I thought it's not finished yet. I'll look tomorrow, now I'm remotely connected 15:29
wwoods kparal: I'll check and make sure it's there - I haven't gotten to testing it yet 15:30
jlaska vaschenb: have you had a chance to start thinking about designing depcheck unittests? 15:30
wwoods it will be tested and confirmed working before we push new code to production 15:30
kparal wwoods: but everything should be already in master, right? 15:30
vaschenb jlaska: not yet, now i'm working on upgradepath test 15:31
vaschenb jlaska: but some skeleton I already made, but I need more specific information... 15:31
jlaska vaschenb: oh right, forgot about that test (https://fedorahosted.org/autoqa/ticket/123) 15:31
wwoods kparal: I thought it was 15:32
kparal jlaska: I think vaschenb will be our upgrade path guy nowadays, so I can look at rpmfluff instead 15:32
wwoods kparal: hooks/post-bodhi-update exists in master, anyway 15:32
wwoods the code at least exists - whether or not it Does The Right Thing is unsure 15:33
jlaska kparal: vaschenb: exciting, sounds like a plan 15:33
vaschenb jlaska: so upgradepath test is not my business now? 15:33
kparal vaschenb: I believe it is :) 15:33
vaschenb kparal: me too :-) 15:33
jlaska vaschenb: correction, sounds like you have the upgrade path, and kparal was going to take depcheck unit tests 15:33
jlaska did I get that right? 15:33
kparal yep 15:33
vaschenb jlaska: ok, now I understand, uff :-) 15:33
jlaska roger ... okay ... back to wwoods 15:34
* jlaska </tangent> 15:34
j_dulaney Ooh, squirrel 15:34
kparal hey, I'm loosing you 15:34
jlaska wwoods: anything else you wanted to include today? 15:35
wwoods that's all I had in mind for the near future - there's more, of course, but we'll have another meeting before we get to any of that 15:36
jlaska roger, alright ... thanks for the update gang 15:37
jlaska #topic Open Discussion - <your topic here> 15:37
jlaska Any open discussion items this week? 15:37
jlaska if not ... we'll close this puppy out and let everyone get back to rockin! 15:38
* j_dulaney notes that he already has Oasis going 15:39
j_dulaney Looks like we have a buggout in progress. 15:40
jlaska alrighty, let's close it out 15:41
jlaska thanks gang ... talk to you all online :) 15:41
