/etc/default in Fedora
by Michał Piotrowski 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hi, I wanted to add "selinux=0" to the kernel command line on F17. I checked /etc/sysconfig/, /etc/grub.d/, next I started to read /etc/grub.d/10_linux (this new grub2 is so user friendly..) and I found ${GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX}. So I grepped /etc for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX. I found file: /etc/default/grub Why /etc/default dir is used instead of /etc/sysconfig? To be honest - it's not really user friendly from long time RH Linux user POV. -- Best regards, Michal http://eventhorizon.pl/

F17 versions of python-celery / django-celery
by Jos Vos 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hi, I noticed that the versions of python-celery (2.2.8 vs. 2.5.1) and django-celery (2.2.7 vs. 2.5.1) in rawhide/F17 are both far behind the current version. Is there a technical reason for this? -- -- Jos Vos <jos(a)xos.nl> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204

new maintainer wanted - Argus package
by jan.klepek 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hi, I have relased ownership of Argus package for Fedora branches due to lack of free time to take care about it. EPEL branches already have owner. What this will require from new maintainer? Argus is not up-to-date with upstream version. It is one major release back, reason for this is that I was not able to build latest version under fedora, and I did not have time to work more on this topic for past several months. New maintainer(s) welcomed. Regards, Jan

Fedora 17 Beta status: open blockers, karma and blocker vote requests
by Adam Williamson 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hi, folks - it's time to start bugging you all about Beta blockers! This post will list out all the current blockers and give a quick status note and action request (if any) for each. We are currently on Beta TC2, the first build with the anaconda 'noloader' change, which is causing some fairly large bugs. RC1 is scheduled to be built *on Thursday*: by policy, all the accepted blockers must be addressed for us to build RC1. So please, take a look at the 'action item checklist' - the summary of all actions required, for the impatient - and make sure you're taking care of any you can to help us get the RC built on time! Thanks everyone. Action item checklist --------------------- Anyone - provide karma for these updates: * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/zenity-3.2.0-4.fc17 * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/NetworkManager-0.9.3.997-0.7.fc17 * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-2922/firstboot-17.0-1.f… * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-3940/firewalld-0.2.4-1.… * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-3887/xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0… * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/selinux-policy-3.10.0-103.fc17 * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-4138 * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-3.3.0-1.fc17 (this one does not fix any blockers, but it's clearly the kernel we want in Beta) Blocker status voters, please vote on the blocker status of these bugs: * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804541 * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804716 * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=790239 * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804083 anaconda developers, please take care of these bugs: * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804446 * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804483 * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804541 possibly * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804716 Ben Skeggs and desktop team, please set up a blacklist for NV30/NV40: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=745202 QA team folks, please help re-test and confirm the fixes for these bugs: * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=787893 * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796155 * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=798373 * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736993 Detailed analysis of bugs follows. Accepted blockers ----------------- 1. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804454 - "Fedora-17-Beta-TC2-i686-Live-KDE.iso is oversized (703 MiB)" This one is in hand, with the dependent bug http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804451 "zenity depends on webkitgtk3 ": there is an update to drop zenity's webkitgtk3 dep which will fix the problem. That update needs karma, so please test and vote on it! https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/zenity-3.2.0-4.fc17 2. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538499 "IPv6-only network attachment fails, due to IPv4 addressing being considered mandatory" 3. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=798697 "The default IPv6 mode is "Ignore" for implicit/ifcfg-less connection profiles (e.g. wired ethernet)" A NetworkManager build which should address these two issues (and many others) is available for testing: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/NetworkManager-0.9.3.997-0.7.fc17 . Please test and karma it - not just with IPv6 connections, but with all connections (make sure there are no regressions). 4. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742207 "No usable bootloader option during a text mode f15->f16 upgrade" This in theory should be fixed in Beta TC2, but we can't confirm that because another bug, mentioned later, makes it un-testable. No action possible till TC3/RC1. 5. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=787893 "Anaconda needs to handle /usr move preparation on upgrade for F17" This one should be fixed in TC2, action is on QA team to re-test and confirm. So let's do that! 6. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796155 "iface_ip2str returned NULL" I believe this one too should be fixed in TC2, or at least there's a chance of it. Action on QA team to re-test and confirm. 7. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804446 "cannot fresh install from DVD" This is the big new bug in TC2: the anaconda 'noloader' changes seem to have prevented install from DVD from working correctly (it does not use the packages on the DVD, instead always downloading them from repositories). Action is on anaconda team to fix this ASAP. 8. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804483 "text install fails with traceback for 17 Beta TC2" This is another big bug in the new anaconda: text install seems to be entirely broken. Again we're waiting for anaconda team to fix it. 9. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=798373 "live image failed to boot in 3 runlevel" This one ought to be fixed in TC2, and it's on QA team to test and confirm that. The update that fixes it - https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-2922/firstboot-17.0-1.f… - needs karma, too. 10. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736993 "error install bootloader with serial interface install" This one should be fixed in TC2, and requires QA re-testing. 11. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=800205 "kernel panic after running preupgrade" This one may be fixed with the new anaconda, but given how preupgrade works, we can't test until anaconda >= 17.13 goes stable, because only then will it show up on the mirrors where preupgrade gets its anaconda image from, so no action possible for now. 12. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=591630 "DHCPv6 responses are not allowed by default ip6tables ruleset" iptables is replaced by firewalld, as of today: this change will show up in TC3 / RC1. firewalld should properly allow DHCPv6. There is a live image available for testing this - http://adamwill.fedorapeople.org/firewalld/firewalld-20120319-x86_64.iso - which I built today. It has firewalld and the NetworkManager build that should allow IPv6 connections to work OOTB. The firewalld update - https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-3940/firewalld-0.2.4-1.… - needs karma. 13. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=745202 "gnome-shell does not display correctly with many NV3x and NV4x adapters" We need Ben Skeggs and the desktop team to work together on a Shell blacklist entry for these adapters, until the driver is fixed. This will be an update to gnome-session. 14. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754568 " [abrt] gnome-shell-3.2.1-6.fc17: _int_free: Process /usr/bin/gnome-shell was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)" This is the 'Shell frequently crashes in a qxl/Spice KVM' bug. There is an xorg-x11-drv-qxl build that is intended to fix it and, in my testing, does - https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-3887/xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0… . That build is in TC2, so this bug is 'fixed' in TC2. However, the comments on the update claim there is a corruption bug associated with it, so the maintainer does not want to push it stable. We need the maintainers of this driver to decide if they want to fix the corruption bug and, if so, to do so before Thursday, or else push the fix we have. 15. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804451 "zenity depends on webkitgtk3" This is discussed above as part of the KDE oversize bug. Proposed blockers ----------------- 1. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804541 "anaconda failed to load the updates.img" This needs votes on blocker status, from the people who usually show up to blocker reviews. It seems like a fairly straightforward blocker to me. Then we need anaconda team to fix it: they are working on this. 2. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804716 "after minimal 17 Beta TC2 install, network service doesn't work" This also needs blocker status votes, it's rather more of a borderline issue. I suspect it may wind up getting fixed as a side effect of the other 'noloader' issues, but that's just my guess. 3. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=790239 "gnome-system-log depends on gnome-utils, which is obsoleted." This also needs blocker status votes, and is a clear blocker - it's the bug that prevented the desktop live from composing for TC2. There is an update that fixes it, I have confirmed that the update allows a desktop live image compose to succeed. Please test and karma https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-4138 . 4. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804083 "firewalld is not allowed to write a temporary file to /etc/firewalld if started with systemd" Tore Anderson tells me (if I'm understanding correctly) that this is another IPv6-preventing issue - it stops firewalld being able to allow DHCPv6 to work. My IPv6-testing live image (see above) includes the fix for this: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/selinux-policy-3.10.0-103.fc17 , which needs karma, so please test and karma it. This bug obviously also needs blocker status votes. Thanks for reading, everyone! Remember to help out with any actions you can. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

Question about commiting the sources
by Sergio Belkin 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Perhaps and stupid question: After upload new-sources to repo, it outputs: Uploaded and added to .gitignore: Source upload succeeded. Don't forget to commit the sources file I don't understand! By default it add sources files to .gitignore and then it asks for commit them? Is it something that I misunderstood? Thanks in advance! -- -- Sergio Belkin http://www.sergiobelkin.com Watch More TV http://sebelk.blogspot.com LPIC-2 Certified - http://www.lpi.org

[Test-Announce] Annoying reminder: please keep karma'ing, folks
by Adam Williamson 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hey, everyone. I've noticed recently that the level of karma filing for F16 and F17 seems to be down somewhat. Could just be me misinterpreting things, but I thought I'd fire off a reminder anyway. Even though proventesters has been suspended, we still need karma on updates - it just doesn't matter whether or not you're a proven tester now. Updates still need karma to go stable. So please do carry on running fedora-easy-karma and filing update feedback regularly! There are quite a few updates for both releases going stale. Thanks everyone! Maintainers, you can consider lowering the threshold from +3 for autopush of updates in some cases. It's only a default, not a requirement. If you're fairly confident an update is small and well-tested, it probably doesn't need +3 karma, you could consider choosing +1 or +2 instead. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ test-announce mailing list test-announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test-announce

Boost-1.50 in Fedora 18, Boost.Filesystem v2 to be dropped
by Petr Machata 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hi there, we (the Boost maintainers) intend to bump boost to a more recent version in course of Fedora 18 development. Though no schedule is available for Boost or Fedora as of yet, it seems like we are aiming for 1.50 and there should be a couple months of overlap. We intend to make this a feature when our plans become more solid, as usually. One of the more invasive changes that this release will probably bring is getting rid of support for Boost.Filesystem v2 [1], which was already announced about two Fedoras ago. I'd like to encourage all maintainers who build their packages with -DBOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION=2 to drop that option and try to rebuild their packages as soon as possible, ideally before the new Boost lands. Thanks, PM P.S. thanks to Denis Arnaud who spotted the intention of removal! [1] http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2012/03/191238.php

gmp-ecm license change
by Jerry James 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

The license of gmp-ecm is currently "LGPLv2+ and GPLv2+". In Rawhide and F17 only, the main package will now be "GPLv3+", and there is a new -libs subpackage that is "LGPLv3+". I don't expect this to cause any problems as repoquery shows that nothing depends on this package. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/
