Hi folks! The Fedora 25 Final freeze is fast approaching (it's 2016-11- 01), so it's time for a blocker status mail. As there's only five blockers, I'll skip the tl;dr summary, the mail is quite short anyhow.
Bug-by-bug detail =================
1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1378156 - python-blivet - POST TypeError: Must be number, not str
Funny story - I started writing this mail yesterday afternoon, got distracted trying to straighten out the three different iSCSI blockers that were listed at that time, and wound up spending all night fixing iSCSI. So, I've sent a fix for this, it's going through review now. We'll need dlehman or vpodzime to merge it and do an F25 build+update, then QA will have to test and karma the update.
2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1376471 - gnome-shell - POST global menu can't be used for 15-30 seconds, startup notification stuck, missing item in alt+tab (on wayland)
The POST status here seems to reflect that Florian has attached some patches to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768531 (the upstream bug). Presumably those need reviewing and porting downstream, CCing Rui as he was mentioned in the RHBZ.
3. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1381996 - libblockdev - ON_QA TypeError: SynchronizedABCMeta object argument after ** must be a mapping, not NoneType (Intel firmware RAID discovery fails when RAID set is 'migrating')
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-4720fedecc%C2%A0should fix this and just needs karma. You kinda have to build an installer image (or at least an updates.img, but I'm not sure libblockdev in an updates.img really works) to test it, though.
4. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1370222 - sddm - NEW KDE doesn't start if hostname changes during boot due to network (infamous xauth issue)
There does not seem to have been any movement on this since it was accepted as a blocker on 2016-09-19. We need KDE team to look at it.
5. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1382001 - sddm - NEW Switching between users doesn't work and freezes the desktop
Similarly there's been no response from KDE team since this was accepted as a blocker on 2016-10-17. We need them to take a look at it.
That's a pretty short blocker list for 4 days before freeze, which is great, but there are still some tests we have not run, so QA folks, please do help make sure all Alpha, Beta and Final tests have been run on a recent candidate. You can use https://www.happyassassin.net/testcase_stats/25/ to help you with this - it shows a 'history' for each test case, it makes it easy to spot ones that need running. Thanks everyone!
