The Fedora Server WG is considering testing Fedora Server on an RPi 5. According to
LWN.net, the 6.12 kernel (currently supported in Fedora 41 has elementary support for the
ARM processor used by the RPi 5.
In the email archives from March 17, 2024, Peter lists 3 known missing bits. Have those
deficits been filled?
I seem to recall someone saying they a platform is not listed as "supported" until all the
h/w is working. The Fedora Server WG feels a server can be very useful without graphics
(it does require a serial console connection of some sort) and without wifi. Assuming
those caveats, is the RPi 5 ready to be listed in arm-image-installer as even "partially"
supported?
Thanks.
Hi folks!
So, as you may know, every so often - between 3 and 14 days - we create
a new validation event for the next Fedora release. There's an email
announcement of this. The emails look like this:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test-announce@lists.fedorapro…
or this, for release candidate composes:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test-announce@lists.fedorapro…
Until now, these announcements have gone only to test-announce@ . They
used to be automatically forwarded from there to devel@ , but it seems
that doesn't happen any more. Also, the server WG said they want the
announcements to go to their list, so I'm tweaking the bot right now to
send announcements to test-announce@ , devel@ , and server@ .
While I'm doing that, does anyone else want these emails on their list?
If so, let me know, and I can change it easily.
Thanks!

# F42 Blocker Review meeting
# Date: 2025-04-07
# Time: 16:00 UTC
# Location:
https://matrix.to/#/#blocker-review:fedoraproject.org?web-instance[element.…
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:
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Fedora+41+Blocker…
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: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ .
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.
https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review 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 [0].

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!
