2022-04-04 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 36 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson
# F36 Blocker Review meeting
# Date: 2022-04-04
# Time: 16:00 UTC
# Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.libera.chat
Hi folks! We have 9 proposed Final blockers and 3 proposed Final freeze
exception issues to review, so let's have a review meeting on Monday.
Note, I won't be around to run this one - you'll be in the capable
hands of Geoff (coremodule).
If you have time this weekend, 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 F36 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 weekend and Geoff will see you on Monday!

Fedora 36 validation testing event: let's do full testing of Fedora
36 Branched 20220401.n.0
by Adam Williamson
Hi folks! Trying something a bit new here. I've nominated today's
Fedora 36 nightly compose for validation testing. We do this regularly
in any case, but I'm sending this out to a wider group and asking folks
to treat this nightly as it it were a release candidate, and try to
complete the *full* set of Final validation tests on it. The idea is to
try and make sure we get all the tests done well ahead of the Go/No-Go
Meeting, so we can identify any remaining blocker bugs *now*, not have
to try and deal with them in a hurry later.
Test coverage information for the current release can be seen at:
https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/testcase_stats/36 . You can use this
to prioritize tests that have not yet been run at all.
You can see all results, find testing instructions and image download
locations, and enter results on the Summary page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_36_Branched_20220401.n...
The individual test result pages are:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_36_Branched_20220401.n...
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_36_Branched_20220401.n...
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_36_Branched_20220401.n...
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_36_Branched_20220401.n...
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_36_Branched_20220401.n...
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_36_Branched_20220401.n...
The goal is to try and hit every test marked as Basic, Beta or Final
(hitting the Optional ones too is great but not required). It'd be
particularly good to cover things that often don't get done until late
- aarch64 tests, Cloud tests in real clouds, and the full set of Server
Active Directory tests, for instance. If you hit a significant failure
in a test, please file a bug, and most likely propose it as a release
blocker using https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/propose_bug .
If you have any questions or need any help with testing or reporting
results, please contact us on the test@ list or the QA IRC/Matrix
channel (#fedora-qa on IRC, "Fedora QA (Quality Assurance)" on Matrix).
Thanks a lot, folks!
