Project Discussion

Hi folks! It’s time for a Fedora 42 blocker review meeting! We have 4 proposed blockers and 3 proposed freeze exceptions for Beta, and 2 proposed blockers for Final.

Note that as clocks went forward in North America this weekend, the meeting is now at 1600 UTC. If you changed your clocks this weekend, the meeting will be at the same local time as before. If you didn’t, the meeting will be an hour earlier in your local time.

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. Overview - fedora-qa/blocker-review - Pagure.io 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 F42 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!

    5. AGREED: 2349754 - Punt - People are in general in favor of blocking on this, but there's no direct criterion for it. It seems it will be fixed soon anyway, let's wait a while before potentially proposing a criterion (if we decide to block on it). (@kparal:matrix.org, 16:57:05)
  12. TOPIC:(1801539) ostree-based systems deployed with blivet can't fstrim LUKS-encrypted partitions of SSD hard drive by default (@kparal:matrix.org, 16:57:23)

    5. AGREED: 1801539 - Rejected as a Final Blocker - Silverblue is not a blocking deliverable, so we can't consider it here. IoT should be affected by this in theory, but in practice it seems unlikely that full disk encryption is used at scale there, by our estimate. Also, many SD cards (used in IoT) might not even support trim. Additionally, this problem has been around for 5 years already, further weakening the blocker proposal. We will document this as a CommonBug instead. (@kparal:matrix.org, 17:22:33)
