== Current Issues and Freeze Status == * we agreed last week to revisit this week. * are we ready to freeze on Thursday? * discussion of packages causing problems 1. beagle * re-evaluate beagle and tracker for F8 * bug #217031 * maintainer made changes to comps * DECISION (UNANIMOUS): Accept maintainer's comps change, making beagle optional. Include it in manifest so that it is on media for upgrades. 1. wireless-tools * newest wireless-tools has a patch that's supposed to fix 64-bit that actually breaks all wireless scanning on 64-bit systems. * https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-commits/2007-May/msg02800.html * warren will drive issue to conclusion * we not only need x86_64 testers, but also ppc and i386 to be sure the 64bit fix didn't break 32bit. * DECISION (UNANIMOUS): If that -3 build turns out to be No Good then we just revert the 64-bit patches entirely and call that -3 (or -4 or whatever) 1. hal * wwoods--hal-0.5.9-6.fc7 fixed the suspend/resume quirks for some stuff (T60 maybe?), but broke it for others (my pitiable t43) * without passing the quirks there's no way suspend to work on large classes of laptops * ACTION: jeremy will try to get hughsie to take a look--davidz won't be back until the 20th. 1. mdraid * wwoods--the old raidautorun stuff + IDE = doooom * wwoods will enage Peter Jones * realy need IDE drives to do good testing * lots of bugs; BZ: 151653, 231426, 238353, 221696, 213586, 238926 * wwoods--never tested dmraid because no hardware; f13 is going to test now * DECISION: None reached
