2024-10-21 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 41 Blocker Review Meeting

Hi folks! It’s time for another blocker review meeting. We have 6 proposed blockers and 2 proposed freeze exceptions for Final.

Here is a handy link which should show you the meeting time in your local time.

The meeting will be on Matrix. Click the link above to join in a web client - you can authenticate with your FAS account - or use a dedicated client of your choosing.

If you have time today, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here.

Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you’ll see links labeled “Vote!” next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions. Those links take you to tickets where you can vote. This page has instructions on how exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs where there wasn’t a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. THIS MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!

We’ll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they’re not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F40 can be found on the wiki.

For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links:

And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it’s supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki.

Have a good day and see you tomorrow!

  4. TOPIC:(2316066) dbus activated apps including the welcome dialog suffer 30-45 sec delay and/or crash on Workstation Live image randomly (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:06:30)
    1. AGREED: 2316066 - punt (delay decision) - voting on this is at +8 / -7, so it's undecided. as it's an accepted FE and we have a probably-good fix for it, we're expecting to pull that fix in and make this go away that way. (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:16:48)

    4. AGREED: 2319597 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) - there definitely seems to be enough of an indication that bluetooth is broken enough in 6.11.3 (which was stable in F41) to affect live media use cases, even potentially making it unusable if you have to use bluetooth peripherals, so this is accepted as a violation of audio criteria and any criterion requiring input, in the case that bluetooth periperals are required and the hardware is affected by this bug (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:23:23)
    5. INFO: we have three KDE screen reader issues coming up: 2320046 , 2320044 , 2320043 . let's have a bit of a pre-discussion about how to handle this (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:24:12)

  6. TOPIC:(2320043) Qt does not watch for screen reader being enabled properly, rendering Plasma invisible to Orca (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:28:07)
    1. AGREED: 2320043 - AcceptedBlocker (Final) - this is accepted as a conditional violation of all desktop related criteria for KDE for all people who need a screen reader (same rationale on which we previously accepted 2305763) (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:30:58)

  7. TOPIC:(2320046) Konsole command output isn't read by the screen reader (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:31:13)
    1. AGREED: 2320046 - RejectedBlocker (Final), AcceptedFreezeException (Final) - this is rejected as a blocker as the problem is not too critical: screen reading works, and all content can be read, it just seems necessary to prompt the reader to continue (using the normal key for this purpose) at points where it seems like that shouldn't be necessary. we also note that this is not new behaviour (previous releases behaved the same) (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:41:46)

    3. AGREED: 2320044 - RejectedBlocker (Final), AcceptedFreezeException (Final) - this is rejected as a blocker as the problem is not too critical: screen reading works, and all critical content can be read, it just seems necessary to prompt the reader to get body content read (using the normal key for this purpose) at points where it seems like that shouldn't be necessary. we also note that this is not new behaviour (previous releases behaved the same) (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:50:49)

  9. TOPIC:(2318535) KDE apps like KInfoCenter and System Settings sometimes don't start (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:51:05)
    1. LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2318535 (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:51:05)
    2. LINK: https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1694 (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:51:05)
    3. AGREED: 2318535 - RejectedBlocker (Final) RejectedFreezeException (Final) - this seems to be pretty much entirely mitigated by the fix for KDE performance under software acceleration (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2312900 ). there probably is still technically a bug here, and upstream is working on it, but it doesn't seem like we need to rush to pull it in for release (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:56:57)

    2. INFO: this bug is actually closed, seems to be a blip in blockerbugs. moving on (@adamwill:fedora.im, 16:58:20)
    3. AGREED: 2310555 - RejectedBlocker (Final) RejectedFreezeException (Final) - this is rejected on the basis that the issues caused can be "satisfactorily resolved by a package update" (per the criteria). anything built with Go and persistently parsing untrusted input is probably some kind of system service which should be deployed only on an installed system. we are not aware of any likely context in which this vulnerability would be exposed in a live or installer environment (@adamwill:fedora.im, 17:13:08)

    4. INFO: there's some uncertainty about whether this is fully fixed yet, kparal and adamw are seeing differing results in testing. we will continue to test, if others want to help out that'd be great (@adamwill:fedora.im, 17:33:50)
    5. INFO: we now have a BETTER suspect for the discrepancy here: the official update build did not apply the patch that fixes the bug (@adamwill:fedora.im, 17:37:58)
