Hi folks! It's time for a Fedora 42 blocker review meeting! We have 4
proposed blockers and 2 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 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 F42 can be found on the
wiki [0].

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 see you on Monday!

Hi folks! Sorry I missed the meeting last week. Just wanted to kick off
a mailing list topic for this. As briefly discussed at the meeting, the
aarch64 server netinst image is over its 'maximum size', and this is a
release-blocking bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2352679
we can either try and figure out why it got bigger and squish it back
down again, or just bump the policy maximum size. We're generally more
relaxed about maximum sizes these days since they're not so tied to
optical media any more and USB sticks are plentiful and cheap. The
current policy max is 1GB, and I don't remember the last time I saw a
1GB USB stick, so bumping to say 2GB probably wouldn't cause any
*practical* issues.
Still, it's nice to have these maximums so we catch any cases where
images are unnecessarily getting bigger. I do have a process for
figuring out what's taking up space on an image and I'll try to run
through that and post results on the bug later. These days, it
*usually* turns out to be linux-firmware getting bigger; various OEMs
are constantly dumping large blobs into linux-firmware these days,
something we can do little about :/
