Reporting validation results with relval: please update python-mwclient to 0.7
by Adam Williamson
Hi, folks. Sorry for the cross-post, but wanted to try reach everyone
I'd mentioned my little 'relval' tool to.
If you have been using 'relval' to report validation results, or are
thinking of trying it, please make sure you update python-mwclient to
0.7. Josef Skladanka submitted a few results using relval yesterday
which messed up the Desktop page, and kindly fixed up the page and let
me know about the problem (thanks, Josef!)
On investigation I found the problem is that python-mwclient 0.6.5 is
missing the ability to read in the text of a single page section (it
looks like it has it, but it actually doesn't). Any time you submit a
result to a multi-section page with python-mwclient 0.6.5, this will
happen. With python-mwclient 0.7 it works fine.
I'm going to send out a python-wikitcms update which requires
python-mwclient 0.7 ASAP, and get the python-mwclient 0.7 update into
stable for all releases also ASAP, but just in case anyone isn't
updating regularly or anything, I thought I'd send a note. Thanks!

Test Day Wiki Page.
by John Unland
Afternoon everyone, I would like to announce that the ticket has been
submitted and added to the calender as a placeholder. I also went
ahead and made a wikipage for the Test Day (Link is below), if anyone
has any free time, please feel free to look at it and proof read it
and make changes if any information does not align with our test day.
I would also like to mention that the administration working with the
ticket handling said that they usually like to have test day's on a
Tuesday or Thursday but there okay with having it on Friday. Thought I
would rely that to everyone for future reference. Anyways, have a
great day.

Announcing Fedora Outreach mailing list -- please subscribe if interested
by Matthew Miller
Because response to the Fedora Outreach Steering Committee proposal has
been overwhelmingly positive, I created a new mailing list, initially
to discuss the possible creation of such a group and to coordinate
actually doing it, and then eventually to be a discussion list _for_
the group.
If you are interested in this, please subscribe
at <https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/outreach>.
Thanks!
[This message is massively multi-posted — please don't reply. Instead,
discuss on the new list!]

Fedora 21 Beta RC2 status is **FAILED**, RC3 will be coming
by Adam Williamson
Wanted to keep everyone in the loop so people don't feel like their time
has been wasted.
We discovered at the blocker review meeting today that there's a problem
with the RC2 compose. Blocker and FE packages that were pushed stable
yesterday - https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5988#comment:17 -
were taken out of the 'bleed' repository where blocker/FE fixes are
pulled into composes before they go stable, but they did not actually
get mashed/distributed in time to be included in the RC2 compose.
The upshot is that RC2 has incorrect (old) versions of initscripts,
systemd and fedup-dracut. This means that RC2 will be subject to at
least https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1114786 ,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1099299 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1146580 , so it definitely
cannot be released as the Beta. We will need an RC3 compose, and testing
of RC2 will not be sufficient to clear RC3 for release due to the
significance of systemd.
Testing of RC2 is not entirely useless - it's still useful to check
there are no regressions in anaconda 21.48-13, for instance - but we
will need to do a good degree of testing on RC3 when it lands later
today before we can consider clearing RC3 for release. I'm very sorry to
folks who've already put work into testing RC2 for the mistake. Keep
your eyes peeled for RC3!

[Action Required] Fedora 21 Server Beta Validation
by Stephen Gallagher
As I assume everyone on this list knows by now, Beta was delayed by a
week due to several blocker bugs. (The only known blocker bug unique to
Server was an SELinux issue that has been subsequently resolved).
Part of this slippage was due to late receipt of a viable release
candidate build (we really only got it on Thursday and had very limited
time to validate and determine its suitability).
We are expecting to receive another release candidate build sometime
hopefully today, but possibly tomorrow. We are going to desperately need
to run through the release validation tests again. I did all of the
x86_64 testing myself last time around (with some help from the ARM
folks to do a basic smoke-test on that platform). I'd very much like to
parcel out the validation responsibilities for RC2 so that we can get
the coverage done quicker.
The set of validation tests that have to pass are listed here:
https://www.happyassassin.net/testcase_stats/21/Server.html
You can use Adam Williamson's handy-dandy relval tool[1] (release
validation, not to be confused with relative value) to submit the test
results.
All of the x86_64 tests can be performed against virtual instances;
there are no hardware testing requirements there. The ARM tests might be
more complicated; I'm going to ask Kevin Fenzi and Paul Whalen to chime
in on how to get that set up.
Since I've already got an environment set up for Active Directory, I
will handle the Testcase_realmd_join_kickstart and
Testcase_realmd_join_kickstart tests for x86_64 as well as any of the
other tests that I can get around to (Consider only the AD tests
covered; I will be double-checking some of the more important ones).
The firewall tests are very easy, so these would be useful for a
beginner to jump into. The Cockpit tests are also pretty
straightforward, though the Cockpit realm join will require setting up
some infrastructure (such as running the "Testcase_Server_role_deploy -
Domain Controller" test first).
If you volunteer for this, please commit yourself to the time (sometime
in the 24 hours following the RC2 availability announcement) to finish
them. If after volunteering you discover that you cannot manage it,
please inform the list as soon as possible so we can find someone to
take over.
Volunteering should be done by replying to this email, keeping the
Server list in the TO: or CC: so that everyone knows what has been
claimed. I will be talking to the Badges folks about getting a badge for
assisting with Release Validation for Fedora 21.

F21 Server Test Proposal and Questions
by John Unland
Hello everyone, I am looking through the SOP for the test day. I have
come up with a possiable date which is November 7th (Friday) for the
whole day. Figured it would be better to do it all day so that the
community can have flexability when testing. Also I would like to
bring up test cases, since I came in a couple of weeks ago most of you
know the system more than I do, so does anyone have any suggestions
for test cases? Also since it is a server without any DE do I still
need to create a custom testday image? If so is there anything we need
to add to the image itself that's specific to our test day?
Thanks.

proposal for new "FOSCo" group to mirror FESCo
by Matthew Miller
I posted individual messages to a number of other mailing lists, but
this one I'm just cross-posting to the three lists for the product
working groups. We've floated a proposal to have a new "Fedora Outreach
Steering Committee", which would replace FAmSCo — so no net new
governance groups added, following Mitr's ban on such things :).
The idea is to help coordinate marketing, support, and evangelism like
we do the engineering side of things. I'm posting this on _these_
lists, because I think that if we do go this route, we should have
FOSCo WG liaisons just like the FESCo liaison.
