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!

In the gcc-4.9.0-12.fc21 build logs I saw a weird error:

error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set
and I'd like to debug that, but don't know of a way to force e.g. a
scratch rpm build to a particular build host. Would it be possible for
some release engineer to run
gcc -v -march=native -S -xc /dev/null -o /tmp/foo.s
cat /proc/cpuinfo
in the F21 mock chroot on that box? Perhaps we are missing something in
the -m{arch,tune}=native logic,
a CPU which clearly does support x86_64 64-bit ISA should not be
determined as one that does not.
Thanks.

Keeping connections alive will speed up koji acces when multiCall() is not
used without a significant speed penalty. Therefore it is a good idea to
support this.

Lookaside: Move away from md5
by Mathieu Bridon
We should move to something more secure than md5 for the uploaded sources.
This patch series implements the client-side part of this change.
We might want to drop the md5 fallback once we have migrated completely, that
is when:
1. all archives on the lookaside have been moved to a stronger hash
2. the "sources" file in all git repos has been updated to the same hash

The lookaside cache uses md5, but something more secure like sha-256 or
sha-512 should be used instead. Maybe it should even be made to allow easy
changes in the future.

Currently .fedora-server-ca.cert and .fedora-upload-ca.cert use SHA1 for
their self-signatures. Since SHA1 support is phased out, it might be a
good idea to re-create the signatures.

Hi, we already discussed a bit about this issues with nirik, before the
F19 release day.
However, yesterday was worse as expected.
Please see the number of fixes:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/fedora-web.git/log/
(7 important fixes after the merge into prod aedf487eb).
== Summary of major issues:
* http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/spins/ changed to
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents and we had no idea about this.
* The naming scheme of the file changed which introduced a bug in our
spins website build as it is based against the Json file. We had to fix a
2 years old python code. And we did not know about this.
* Each release we have the 32 bit arch named i686 or i386, it's always
changing. We defined variables in order to help us maintain the websites..
And this does not help us. I know that it depends of the proc instruction
set. But where is the need to change that really? Could we avoid it?
Sooner or later we will drop 32 bit arch... Couldn't we define which arch
to stick with?
* We don't know before last minute if the Spin has built for GA and
therefore if it is going to be released. We need to check it manually. And
really, we can't do it all manually. (as lazy programmers we can't even
think about this).
* Even the spins name has changed in the past, which break our code and
already existing URLs. And then we need to define URL redirect... I hope
jam-kde won't be changed to jam-mate-compiz-fusion-dark at some point..
Just wondering...
* The secondary (ARM) path changed from Images/arm/ to Images/armhfp/.. I
understand the need to tell if it's using FP or not, but again we didn't
know about this before testing in prod.
That should not happen again. Please, help me define the best way to avoid
this. It could be improving SOP, or updating a file after each build..
whatever.
It's a probably wider collaboration issues as it is involving primary,
secondary, SIGs (spins, cloud).. But starting with Releng we can probably
sort this and define the smoother solution for all.
What we need in a simple way (script friendly) and easy to generate for
you is a way to get:
All image full name, path (if possible before release), size (not needed
for torrents), format (torrent, spin, dvd, cloud... whatever) and
checksum. What can't be available easily can have an easy process to get
them or at least we need to know how and when to get them.
The most important of course is the image full name. If we don't know that
this image exists (or died), we won't be able to update it.
Any brillant idea?

Hi,
Please create a new f21-gnome side tag and build target. We'll be building
GNOME 3.13.91 early next week and this would help ensure it doesn't cause
instabilities in F21 proper while we're preparing it.
Thanks,
Kalev

The Cloud SIG decided that the Atomic and Big Data images will be 64-bit
only. (Docker currently only works in 64 bits, and while big data tools
might work, the target audience is almost always on 64 bits).
