#fedora-meeting.
If you have topics you think we should bring up at the meeting, please
add them to the Wiki page at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Meetings/20121008 . Thanks!
TOPIC: Previous meeting follow-up
=======================================================================
* "adamw to refine alpha partitioning criterion" - this was
done and would be discussed later in the meeting
* "adamw to draft new partitioning criterion for Beta once we
know what will be in anaconda" - this was done and would be
discussed later in the meeting
* "adamw to consider revisions to 'kickstart delivery method'
criterion" - not yet done
* "tflink to ask other interested parties (anaconda team,
fesco...) to look over the beta criteria and see if there's
anything they feel should be dialled down" - not yet done,
tim was waiting for the criteria proposals before sending it
out
TOPIC: Release criteria: Partitioning
=======================================================================
* Pre-meeting proposals were on the mailing list[1]
* The proposed Alpha criteria were approved without
modification
* The proposed Beta criteria were approved with minor
modifications to make the intent clearer and add a
requirement that custom partitioning be able to destroy
partitions
* Possible further criteria were discussed, including one
covering the re-use of an existing /home partition, but it
was agreed to propose this on the mailing list for further
revision
TOPIC: Release criteria: Upgrade
=======================================================================
* Pre-meeting proposals were on the mailing list[2]
* The proposed criteria were approved, but with the agreement
that the use of the word 'or' is ambiguous and should be
improved to clarify the meaning
* To avoid confusion it was agreed that the intent of the
criteria is that _all three cases_ for upgrading - minimal
package set, GNOME package set, and KDE package set - must
work, not just _any one of the three_
TOPIC: Fedora 18 Beta freeze readiness
=======================================================================
* FESCo will be determining this week if the F18 codebase,
especially anaconda, is complete enough to enter freeze for
Beta, which was planned for 2012-10-09
* The code for the new upgrade tool was available[3], but it
had not had any official release and we did not believe it
was yet in a testable state
* The partitioning code in the latest available anaconda
release at time of meeting did not yet support
non-destructive automatic partitioning into free space
* wwoods affirmed that the new upgrade tool would be testable
by the freeze deadline
* dlehman affirmed that the partitioning code would meet the
Beta requirements by the freeze deadline
* We agreed that the state of Fedora 18 as of time of meeting
was not good enough to freeze for Beta, but if the upgrade
tool was testable and the partitioning code met the Beta
requirements by the freeze date, then freezing would be
acceptable
* We agreed to pass this evaluation on to the FESCo ticket[4]
TOPIC: Open Floor
=======================================================================
N/A
ACTION ITEMS
=======================================================================
* adamw to propose a criterion covering basic (not advanced)
re-use of /home for Beta
