Proposal: make 'updates-testing is enabled' and/or 'fedora-release has a release number below 1' automatic Final release blockers
by Adam Williamson 07 Oct '26

07 Oct '26

Every cycle, we have to file a proposed blocker to get fedora-release and fedora-repos updated to their final state. In fedora-repos we have to disable updates-testing, and fedora-release has to have its release field incremented to 1 or higher (the installer uses this value to decide whether to run in "pre-release mode" or not, on some images). This is an entirely predictable scenario that happens every release, yet we have to waste time voting on it. That's silly! So I propose we add two new points to the Automatic Blockers list (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process#Automatic_blockers ): * For Final release, the **updates-testing** repository still being enabled * For Final release, the **fedora-release** package having a release number lower than 1 Then we could just file the bug as an automatic blocker and save everyone's voting time. If nobody objects, I'll do this in a few days, since it seems like such an obvious change.

2026-10-05 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 45 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson 04 Oct '26

04 Oct '26

# F45 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2026-10-05 # Time: 16:00 UTC # Location: https://matrix.to/#/#blocker-review:fedoraproject.org?web-instance[element.… Hi folks! It's time for a Fedora 45 blocker (and FE) review meeting! We have 2 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+45+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 today, 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 F45 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good day and see you tomorrow!
