gnome package ownership
by Matthias Clasen
Hi,
historically, we've always struggled to maintain a full 'acl matrix' so
every desktop team member can touch every gnome package. But we can do
better ! Kalev has set up a 'gnome-sig' group in pkgdb, which some
people are already members of. You can make your packages available to
the group like this:
pkgdb-cli update --approve $package commit group::gnome-sig all
pkgdb-cli can also list your packages:
pkgdb-cli list --user $user --nameonly
I've just 'donated' all my packages to the group. If you own
gnome-related packages please consider doing the same and joining the
group.

Final release announcement coordination
by Jaroslav Reznik
Hi all!
As we're getting to pretty solid RC, it's again time for release
announcement. Readiness meeting is on Thursday, would be nice to
have a draft ready for review and final version next Monday, so
text formatted and magazine versions can be prepared in advance.
Workstation seems to be pretty covered, do we have any additions
to Server and Cloud? The other thing is to get rid of all Beta
strings.

Thanks Joe for starting it and Paul for Workstation bit so
far! We had the best Alpha/Beta announcements so far, let's
continue with this high bar :).

Bugs and RFE's for Fedora Workstation
by Ryan Lerch
With the creation of the 3 Fedora flavours, the process of tracking bugs
and RFE's for Fedora workstation is a lot more muddled than it already
is. Should this be something that we should focus on as a meta-task for
the F22 release?
Bugzilla currently tracks issues on a per-package (component in the
Bugzilla terminology ) basis, so some packages are used in all 3
flavours, but others are more specific to Workstation (e.g.
gnome-shell). And some of these have a lot of bugs in the NEW status
(gnome-shell has over 830).
I'm not sure what the solution is here, but from a user point of view,
the experience for filing a bug, RFE or providing feedback for the
workstation is very confusing. IMHO, we shouldn't expect users to know
what component their bug is against, or if they should file a bug
upstream or not.
So i'm reaching out for thoughts / ideas on how to make this better.
cheers,
ryanlerch

WG meeting schedule in 2015
by Paul W. Frields
As agreed in the last meeting, we're going to have the WG meeting per
usual on Wed 2014-Dec-17. The next meeting which would normally be
Wed 2014-Dec-31 has been canceled.
Rather than go an additional two weeks without meeting, can I get +1's
to resume our regular schedule on Wed 2014-Jan-07? That would begin
the regular biweekly cadence, so the next following meeting would be
Wed 2014-Jan-21, and so on.

Atomic workstation
by Matthias Clasen
Hi Colin,
I wondered what your thoughts are about the possibility of serving the
workstation image as a tree in Fedora atomic.
It would be interesting for the atomic update and rollback capabilities
that ostree offers. Maybe we could also use it for doing similar testing
to the upstream gnome-continuous, using taskotron.
What are the pros/cons ?
What do we have to do to get there ?
Thanks, Matthias

Cannot install Wine
by Peter Laursen
Fedora 21 Desktop (beta fully updated).
I cannot install Wine. When trying to do so (using Yum Extender) some
dependencies with Samba's winbind libraries fails to resolve and the
installation aborts.
Did someone find a solution?
(I am running Fedora as a guest OS in Virtualbox with VirtualBox guest
additions installed (and fully functional), if it matters - but I don't
think so)
Regards

Fedora 21 Final Release Candidate 5 (RC5) Available Now!
by Adam Williamson
NOTE: Signing of the RC5 checksums is not yet complete. To be sure we're
testing the right bits we should remember to check that the images we
test match the signed checksum files once they're available, and of
course you can carefully check the TLS certificate of the server when
downloading the images. fedup tests may require the --nogpgcheck
parameter until the signed .treeinfo file is available. releng will
update and close the trac ticket when signing is complete.
As per the Fedora 21 schedule [1], Fedora 21 Final Release Candidate 5
(RC5) is now available for testing.
The difference between RC5 and RC4 is that the changes to python-blivet
and pyparted that were introduced in RC1 to fix bug #1166598 have been
reverted, as they were found to cause more serious problems than they
fixed. As this change affects the installer, all installation validation
tests should be run again. Existing RC4 test results for
post-installation tests will be considered valid and transferred into
the RC5 result pages; from now on, please do all testing with RC5
images.
Please see the following pages for download links (including delta ISOs)
and testing instructions. Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide
the fastest download, but download-ib01.fedoraproject.org is available
as a mirror (with an approximately 1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To
use it, just replace "dl" with "download-ib01" in the download URL.

Fedora 21 Final Release Candidate 4 (RC4) Available Now!
by Adam Williamson
NOTE: Signing of the RC4 tree is not yet complete, there are technical
issues in releng preventing it working. To strictly be sure we're
testing the right bits we should remember to check that the images we
test match the signed checksum files once they're available, and of
course you can carefully check the TLS certificate of the server when
downloading the images. fedup tests may require the --nogpgcheck
parameter until the signed .treeinfo file is available. releng will
update and close the trac ticket when signing is complete.
As per the Fedora 21 schedule [1], Fedora 21 Final Release Candidate 4
(RC4) is now available for testing. Note that RC3 never made it out of
the compose process - releng made a small mistake so they started over,
and it was easier to call the retry 'RC4' than clean up the failed
attempt and call the retry 'RC3'.
The only difference between RC4 and RC2 should be that the live images
have correct fontconfig caches. Otherwise RC4 and RC2 should be
effectively identical. There is no difference in their package sets, the
fontconfig fix was done in the kickstarts. Existing RC2 test results
will be considered valid for RC4 and transferred to the RC4 result
pages, but from now on, please switch to testing the RC4 images.
At present we're hopeful RC4 will be good enough for Final release, so
please help us get through all the testing!
Please see the following pages for download links (including delta ISOs)
and testing instructions. Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide
the fastest download, but download-ib01.fedoraproject.org is available
as a mirror (with an approximately 1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To
use it, just replace "dl" with "download-ib01" in the download URL.

Call for agenda for Workstation WG meeting
by Paul W. Frields
Next meeting is Wednesday, 2014-Dec-03 at 1600 UTC/11:00am US-EST.
Please feel free to suggest additional issues for our agenda.
Currently I'm not aware of any pending issues through the list.
However, I might've missed something in IRC, so please speak up if you
know of something we should discuss. I suspect the list may be
quieter due to both an intervening holiday and the impending F21
release. FYI, all the action items in the last meeting have been
handled.
Personally, I'd like the group not to fall into silence since this is
a great time for us to be talking about F22-targeted activities. ;-)
