2025-04-07 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 42 Blocker Review Meeting

Project Discussion
, ,
1

Hi folks! It’s time for a Fedora 42 blocker review meeting! We have 3 proposed blockers and 6 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. 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!

    6. AGREED: 2355033 - Rejected FinalBlocker - This is a conditional violation of our poweroff criterion. We haven't found evidence that it would happen too frequently or in too many use cases. For that reason, we reject it as a final blocker. If there's new evidence that it's happening much more often, we can reconsider the blocker vote. (@kparal:matrix.org, 16:30:05)

    2. AGREED: 2357214 - Accepted FinalBlocker - This violates our criterion: "...installer must be able to: Correctly interpret, and modify ... software RAID arrays at RAID levels 0, 1 and 5 containing ext4 partitions". (@kparal:matrix.org, 16:36:16)

    4. INFO: Proposed Freeze Exceptions, bluez, ON_QA (@kparal:matrix.org, 16:37:10)
    5. AGREED: 2356863 - Rejected FinalFreezeException - The broken version was never stable, and thus this update doesn't present any strong reason why it needs to be pushed through freeze. If such a reason appears, we can reconsider the vote. (@kparal:matrix.org, 16:46:14)

    4. AGREED: 2356294 - Rejected FinalFreezeException - codeblocks is not present on install media, and so there seems to be little sense in pushing this through freeze. F42 users will get this as a 0-day update. (@kparal:matrix.org, 16:51:35)

    2. AGREED: 2302853 - punt - This got reopened from F41, but it's not clear whether it was intentional to keep the FE request flag, or just a mistake. If this should go through freeze, please provide some justification details, thank you. (@kparal:matrix.org, 16:58:17)

    3. AGREED: 2357573 - Accepted FreezeException - Connecting a mobile device to a Live image is a scenario that we can imagine, even though it might be rare. We're accepting this assuming the change is only related to the library in question and not affecting the rest of the OS. (@kparal:matrix.org, 17:04:34)
