#4985: Extend test image creation SOP to require notification of delays ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: adamwill | Owner: rel-eng(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Type: task | Status: new Milestone: | Component: koji Keywords: | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Working through the F16 QA retrospective here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_16_QA_Retrospective One of the notes is: "jlaska - Alpha TC1 - Missed the Alpha-TC1 milestone by 1 week, little to no communication regarding status. With only two weeks Alpha ISO test time, losing 50% of time almost certainly results in a slip. See rel-eng ticket#4844 . None of the Alpha rel-eng release tickets have been filed at this time. adamw - perhaps releng image compose SOP should require updating of ticket with progress info, especially when image compose / delivery is delayed?" So: this ticket proposes that the releng 'Composing test images' SOP - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Composing_test_images - should be extended to require whoever is creating the images to post a comment on the image request ticket if the compose is delayed, explaining the reasons for the delay (so that any other interested party can attempt to contribute to resolving them) and giving a best estimate of an ETA if possible (so other groups can adjust their scheduling as best they can). Thanks! -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/4985> Fedora Release Engineering <http://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng> Release Engineering for the Fedora Project

#4355: metadata for "grouped" files on master mirror

#4355: metadata for "grouped" files on master mirror ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: mdomsch | Owner: rel-eng(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Type: task | Status: new Milestone: | Component: other Keywords: | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ This may be less of an issue now that we don't have the split CD set, but I would like it if rel-eng could produce a file into the master mirror tree for "groups" of files that should be a single consistent download set, such as a DVD and the checksum file, or the set of files that are together inside a single torrent. MirrorManager is growing the idea of a "file group", a single requestable entity that will return a metalink listing each of the files in the file group. The intent was to use it for the multi-CD download sets, but it's just as valuable for the DVD and checksum file, or other similar groups. But it needs to be a file (say, .fileset or something), in a directory that MM can find and use to build the FileGroups. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/4355> Fedora Release Engineering <http://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng> Release Engineering for the Fedora Project

I'm sharing bugs with my colleagues in RHEL and we'd like to have it also for Fedora. I suppose set up mailing list is also needed. This should be applied only for perl modules, where I am an owner of the package. Not only co-maintainer. The group perl-fedora-maint should include mmaslano, ppisar, psabata. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/3903> Fedora Release Engineering <http://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng> Release Engineering for the Fedora Project

#4084: gcc multiarch broken dep

#4084: gcc multiarch broken dep -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Reporter: mschwendt | Owner: rel-eng(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Type: defect | Status: new Milestone: | Component: mash Keywords: | -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- There is a discrepancy between what is pushed to stable dist repos and to updates-testing. With the latest "gcc" test-update, F-14 is affected, too (which means this is not specific to F-13). gcc-gfortran.i686 is available in x86_64 development/14 but not x86_64 updates/testing/14. The version-specific dependency in it is unresolvable deps if it isn't updated. What is the cause of it? Can it be fixed in the compose tools? Or is a self-"Obsoletes" (which is not arch-specific by default) in gcc-gfortran the only cure? http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/14/x86_64/os… {{{ [ ] gcc-4.5.1-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm 13-Aug-2010 14:51 14M [ ] gcc-c++-4.5.1-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm 13-Aug-2010 14:50 5.1M [X] gcc-gfortran-4.5.1-1.fc14.i686.rpm 13-Aug-2010 14:56 4.4M [ ] gcc-gfortran-4.5.1-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm 13-Aug-2010 14:54 5.0M [ ] gcc-gnat-4.5.1-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm 13-Aug-2010 14:52 9.9M [ ] gcc-java-4.5.1-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm 13-Aug-2010 14:56 4.0M [ ] gcc-objc++-4.5.1-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm 13-Aug-2010 14:56 4.3M [ ] gcc-objc-4.5.1-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm 13-Aug-2010 14:57 3.9M [ ] libgcc-4.5.1-1.fc14.i686.rpm 13-Aug-2010 14:53 61K [ ] libgcc-4.5.1-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm 13-Aug-2010 14:51 52K [ ] libgcj-4.5.1-1.fc14.i686.rpm 13-Aug-2010 14:54 17M [ ] libgcj-4.5.1-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm 13-Aug-2010 14:55 19M [ ] libgcj-devel-4.5.1-1.fc14.i686.rpm 13-Aug-2010 14:50 1.5M [ ] libgcj-devel-4.5.1-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm 13-Aug-2010 14:51 1.5M [ ] libgcj-src-4.5.1-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm 13-Aug-2010 14:51 12M }}} http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/14/x86_64/os… {{{ [ ] gcc-4.5.1-3.fc14.x86_64.rpm 07-Sep-2010 12:36 14M [ ] gcc-c++-4.5.1-3.fc14.x86_64.rpm 07-Sep-2010 12:39 5.1M [ ] gcc-gfortran-4.5.1-3.fc14.x86_64.rpm 07-Sep-2010 12:42 5.0M [ ] gcc-gnat-4.5.1-3.fc14.x86_64.rpm 07-Sep-2010 12:31 9.9M [ ] gcc-java-4.5.1-3.fc14.x86_64.rpm 07-Sep-2010 12:29 4.0M [ ] gcc-objc++-4.5.1-3.fc14.x86_64.rpm 07-Sep-2010 12:35 4.3M [ ] gcc-objc-4.5.1-3.fc14.x86_64.rpm 07-Sep-2010 12:34 3.9M [ ] libgcc-4.5.1-3.fc14.i686.rpm 07-Sep-2010 12:33 62K [ ] libgcc-4.5.1-3.fc14.x86_64.rpm 07-Sep-2010 12:33 52K [ ] libgcj-4.5.1-3.fc14.i686.rpm 07-Sep-2010 12:29 17M [ ] libgcj-4.5.1-3.fc14.x86_64.rpm 07-Sep-2010 12:35 19M [ ] libgcj-devel-4.5.1-3.fc14.i686.rpm 07-Sep-2010 12:29 1.5M [ ] libgcj-devel-4.5.1-3.fc14.x86_64.rpm 07-Sep-2010 12:37 1.5M [ ] libgcj-src-4.5.1-3.fc14.x86_64.rpm 07-Sep-2010 12:41 12M }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/4084> Fedora Release Engineering <http://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng> Release Engineering for the Fedora Project

#3761: add gpg signature for .treeinfo file and/or add CHECKSUM file for unsigned content of images

#3761: add gpg signature for .treeinfo file and/or add CHECKSUM file for unsigned content of images ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: jkeating | Owner: rel-eng(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Type: task | Status: new Milestone: | Component: other Keywords: meeting | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Description of problem: Currently the only way to verify the contents of .treeinfo or the installer images is to download the .iso and the regarding -CHECKSUM file and check it. But e.g. preupgrade does not download the .iso but the *.img files, the kernel and the .treeinfo directly from a mirror. Therefore it is also not possible to easily verify these files. I guess the preupgrade way of updating is somehow popular, therefore it should be possible to do this securely. I filed a bug against preupgrade for not verifying anything and not announcing this here: bug 509338 -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/3761> Fedora Release Engineering <http://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng> Release Engineering for the Fedora Project

#4324: Change product string in pungi for better syslinux usability

#4324: Change product string in pungi for better syslinux usability -------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: duffy | Owner: rel-eng(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Type: task | Status: new Milestone: | Component: other Keywords: | -------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- Right now when you boot Fedora live media or otherwise call up Syslinux, you are greeted with: "Welcome to Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop!" It's not the most welcoming message though because the string is a bit unwieldy and hard-to-read. Syslinux pulls from the PRODUCT string produced via pungi: scripts/mk-images.x86: sed -i "s/@PRODUCT@/$PRODUCT/g" $MBD_BOOTTREE/syslinux.cfg I was hoping that string produced by pungi could be cleaned up a bit to be more friendly. Some examples I think that would be better: Fedora 14 (32-bit) Fedora 14 (64-bit) Fedora 14 (32-bit DVD) Fedora 14 (64-bit DVD) Fedora 14: KDE Plasma (32-bit) Fedora 14: KDE Plasma (64-bit) Fedora 14: LXDE (32-bit) Fedora 14: LXDE (64-bit) Fedora 14: Xfce (32-bit) Fedora 14: Xfce (64-bit) Fedora 14: Electronic Lab (32-bit) Fedora 14: Electronic Lab (64-bit) Fedora 14: Design Suite (32-bit) Fedora 14: Design Suite (64-bit) Fedora 14: Sugar on a Stick (32-bit) Fedora 14: Sugar on a Stick (64-bit) Fedora 14: Games Spin (32-bit) Fedora 14: Games Spin (64-bit) Fedora 14: Security Lab (32-bit) Fedora 14: Security Lab (64-bit) So the rules I'm suggesting for the strings: - The default desktop is called simply "Fedora $VERSION ($ARCH)" - Any non-default spins are called "Fedora $VERSION: $NAME_OF_SPIN ($ARCH)" - The spin name is derived from either the http://fedoraproject.org/en /get-fedora-options#desktops get.fpo options page or the spins.fedoraproject.org full name for the spin. (KDE is probably updating theirs to KDE Plasma as reflected in example strings above.) - Put the arch in () after the name of the spin. Where arch is '32-bit', '64-bit', 'Power PC', etc. The arch names here are suggested to be consistent with what the downloads are labeled on our main web pages (get.fpo and spins.fpo) - If it's live media, don't indicate that, don't point it out. Only indicate if it's a DVD. If it's DVD, point it out after the arch in the ( ) - $VERSION should be a whole number without decimals for a final release. For test releases / release candidates it would be nice to indicate something like, '14.92 RC1' '14.91 Nightly 06 Jan 2011' but that's up to your discretion! This is where the text will appear in syslinux: https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/3/3d/Installux-syslinux- prop1-proto1-ss2.png What do you think? -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/4324> Fedora Release Engineering <http://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng> Release Engineering for the Fedora Project
