| f13 | s'ok | 10:17 |
| f13 | we can get started | 10:17 |
| -!- f13 changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Fedora releng - ALPHA!!! | 10:17 | |
| f13 | https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&milestone=Fedora+11+Alpha | 10:18 |
| f13 | those are the tickets for alpha | 10:18 |
| f13 | freeze is tomorrow | 10:18 |
| f13 | or late tonight so that tomorrow's rawhide is essentially the same as the freeze tag | 10:18 |
| jeremy | I did a livecd-tools build today with some of the stuff that should help for the alpha | 10:18 |
| f13 | I spent a lot of time last week, and just before the break, getting anaconda into a state that is usable | 10:18 |
| f13 | it's to the point where I can continue on with more advanced testing, such as split media installs and whatnot | 10:19 |
| f13 | but frankly these haven't been done since 10 went gold so it should be interesting. | 10:19 |
| * jeremy has been fixing things/filing bugs about livecd related things that have been broken :/ | 10:19 | |
| notting | hm. i'm less concerned about the rel-eng tickets blocking alpha than the bz bugs blocking alpha. is that wrong? | 10:19 |
| f13 | I'm aware of one big issue we're likely tface, which is "scsi" disks that don't get detected in time at boot, causing failures to mount / | 10:20 |
| f13 | notting: no, that's entirely right | 10:20 |
| f13 | I've been way way too focused on anaconda bugfixing to even look at the Alpha tracker | 10:20 |
| f13 | We have a tree testing page that I"ll be filling out as I test things | 10:22 |
| f13 | one thing I haven't done yet is created the key to sign the packages. | 10:22 |
| f13 | and well signed the packages. | 10:22 |
| f13 | I need to do that today. | 10:22 |
| f13 | but given there is the sha256 stuff, I may need to modify our existing signing software, and I'm not sure if rpm will be able to consume what I'm generating | 10:23 |
| f13 | hten it's on to the rest of the releng tickets. | 10:24 |
| f13 | any other thoughts/concerns on Alpha? | 10:24 |
| f13 | jeremy: how hosed is livecd creation right now? | 10:24 |
| notting | ... are we actually doing sha256 sigs? | 10:24 |
| f13 | notting: there was a bug filed for doing sha256 level gpg sigs | 10:25 |
| notting | sure, but has the rpm support actually landed? | 10:25 |
| f13 | https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=479859 | 10:26 |
| buggbot | Bug 479859: medium, medium, ---, notting@redhat.com, NEW, Use SHA-2 in RPM signatures | 10:26 |
| f13 | that's what I'm not sure of | 10:26 |
| f13 | need to investigate | 10:26 |
| notting | oh, and it requires a different key depending on whether we are or aren't? | 10:26 |
| jeremy | f13: works | 10:26 |
| f13 | notting: yeah, fun stuff :/ | 10:27 |
| jeremy | f13: I've been building livecds and even testing installs. which were mostly okay until something broke today (which I filed and through on the blocker) | 10:27 |
| f13 | ok. | 10:27 |
| f13 | alright, well if there is nothing else, we've got a lot of work to do, and I'dl ike to get to it. | 10:30 |
| f13 | thanks all. happy bug hunting. | 10:31 |
| wwoods | let's rock! | 10:31 |
