| * wwoods here | 14:09 | |
| rdieter | hiya | 14:11 |
| * warren here, although might lose my laptop | 14:11 | |
| * jwb adjourns meeting | 14:14 | |
| wwoods | heh! | 14:15 |
| jwb | seriously, i think we have lots of stuff to do. summary: | 14:16 |
| jwb | 1) anaconda has issues | 14:16 |
| jwb | 2) we have space issues on ppc that aren't really ppc related growth | 14:16 |
| wwoods | there's an updates.img for that, I think | 14:16 |
| jwb | wwoods, sure | 14:16 |
| jwb | 3) OOMs during install | 14:16 |
| wwoods | f13: do you have a URL for the updates.img? or a bug number that contains that image/URL? | 14:17 |
| warren | there are remaining mkinitrd on software raid issues | 14:17 |
| warren | I'm trying to track that one down, but managed to crash anaconda in the process | 14:17 |
| f13 | wwoods: http://reducto.boston.redhat.com/pungi/bleed/updates.img | 14:17 |
| wwoods | note to self: actually write code for 'grabupdates' anaconda flag | 14:18 |
| * jwb gets 404 | 14:19 | |
| f13 | jwb: yeah, it's an internal host | 14:20 |
| * f13 wonders why fedorapeople.org is not letting me log in | 14:21 | |
| f13 | oh well | 14:21 |
| -!- f13 changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Fedora Release Engineering Meeting - Beta Status | 14:21 | |
| f13 | today, not so good. We've had some anaconda regressions over the weekend | 14:22 |
| f13 | url method, busted. traceback when getting bugurl (see updates.img discussion above) | 14:22 |
| f13 | Trying to get an install to finish so that we can see if encrypted stuff works with the new mkinitrd, but running into OOM issues. | 14:22 |
| f13 | but I'm still going to push hard for a Thursday release | 14:23 |
| warren | any idea what exactly is using all memory? | 14:23 |
| f13 | Today I'm oging to pre-stage some content on the netapp for beta, basically the exploaded trees and some isos from today. They won't be available to the mirrors, but it'll save us tonns of time once we actually have gold content | 14:24 |
| f13 | warren: no, it happened while I was gone at lunch. I suspect either a runaway %post or bad yum caching or something else. | 14:24 |
| wwoods | f13: installing from media? or using the updates.img? | 14:25 |
| f13 | media | 14:26 |
| f13 | with updates.img | 14:26 |
| f13 | media needs updates.img too | 14:26 |
| f13 | hrm, this is strange | 14:27 |
| f13 | free shows 1052216 for swap, but 490548 for mem | 14:27 |
| f13 | I thought this machine had a gig, not 512 meg | 14:27 |
| jwb | still OOM with 512MiB is evil as well | 14:27 |
| warren | f13, AGP grabbed 512MB aperture? | 14:27 |
| f13 | warren: 512 would be a /big/ grab | 14:28 |
| jwb | f13, also didn't you say you installed the PS3 over the weekend? | 14:28 |
| f13 | jwb: yes, I did, text install | 14:28 |
| jwb | and this is not a text install? | 14:28 |
| wwoods | mirrored updates.img as http://wwoods.fedorapeople.org/updates/20080317.img | 14:28 |
| f13 | thanks. | 14:29 |
| f13 | I couldn't ssh to fedorapeople.org for some reason | 14:29 |
| f13 | so anyway, I'm going to keep banging on that, while uploading content to the netapp hidden away | 14:30 |
| f13 | ideally we'd have the golden package set as tomorrow's rawhide, or else we slip | 14:30 |
| f13 | and I will be sad panda | 14:30 |
| wwoods | (someday we'll have code in anaconda to optionally autofetch http://anaconda.fedoraproject.org/updates/$TIMESTAMP.img) | 14:30 |
| wwoods | yeah, my parents decided to come visit this week | 14:31 |
| wwoods | so if we have to extend the freeze another week.. bluh | 14:31 |
| f13 | yeah | 14:31 |
| f13 | well, I think if we have to slip, we're going to be slipping for anaconda stuff, and we can let rawhide move on | 14:32 |
| f13 | we'll just pull anaconda builds for beta testing | 14:32 |
| wwoods | right | 14:32 |
| jwb | f13, i'm not seeing tons of stuff that we can drop when looking at the livecd configs. but i'm a kickstart idiot | 14:33 |
| warren | f13, anaconda and mkinitrd possibly | 14:33 |
| f13 | warren: yes, and booty from peter for EFI grub hotness | 14:35 |
| f13 | Still haven't been able to do a full media install, or nfs iso install | 14:36 |
| warren | f13, are we backing ourselves into a corner where beta is delayed for another 2 weeks while rawhide is well past it? =) | 14:36 |
| f13 | want to try that later today | 14:36 |
| f13 | warren: we're already in that position | 14:36 |
| jwb | f13, skvidal is awesome and added a --size option to repodiff for me. showing nothing hugely significant for individual packages | 14:39 |
| f13 | crap | 14:39 |
| f13 | so maybe we just have to drop something | 14:39 |
| jwb | rdieter, what is kipi-plugins? | 14:39 |
| jwb | f13, yeah maybe :( | 14:40 |
| f13 | maybe drop some of the games? | 14:40 |
| jwb | f13, was thinking something like that. let me run this again on my compose from today and i'll email rel-eng with some results/suggestions | 14:40 |
| f13 | k | 14:40 |
| rdieter | jwb: addons to kipi-aware apps, graphic/photo managers mostly, like digikam, kphotoalbum | 14:40 |
| jwb | it grew lots | 14:41 |
| rdieter | jwb: since, when? | 14:41 |
| jwb | alpha | 14:41 |
| rdieter | hrm. | 14:41 |
| jwb | 243K/144K ppc64/ppc | 14:41 |
| jwb | "lots" is a relative term at the moment | 14:41 |
| rdieter | kipi-plugins are definitely optional functionality, so could be a good candidate for chopping block | 14:42 |
| jwb | rdieter, ok. other than that, most of the additional space is coming from l10n packages for KDE | 14:43 |
| jwb | about 75MiB worth | 14:43 |
| jwb | at least so far anyway | 14:43 |
| rdieter | those be huge, kdelibs-apidocs is a monster too (but hopefully not landing on any media) | 14:43 |
| f13 | ok, so other than ppc size issues, where we may have to trim some packages out of hte manifest, is there anything else beta releated to talk about? | 14:45 |
| jwb | need to test installs on multilib machines | 14:45 |
| jwb | yum policy was updated | 14:45 |
| jwb | wwoods, f13: how often have you done x86_64 installs? | 14:46 |
| f13 | I'm trying them every day | 14:46 |
| f13 | I have one rebooting right now | 14:46 |
| f13 | but it was software raid install so it might fail | 14:47 |
| f13 | or not... | 14:47 |
| jwb | ok, was just curious since that's the only other arch that the policy would impact | 14:47 |
| wwoods | all the time, yeah | 14:47 |
| f13 | hrm | 14:48 |
| f13 | for a default install, my x86_64 still has 65 i386 packages on it | 14:48 |
| f13 | I thought we wouldn't get that with the new yum default. | 14:48 |
| jwb | skvidal, ? | 14:48 |
| skvidal | f13: dependencies still pull in somethings | 14:48 |
| skvidal | multilib_policy only impacts what will be selected during an 'install' | 14:49 |
| skvidal | it does impact what gets pulled in due to deps | 14:49 |
| f13 | skvidal: this is a clean install... | 14:49 |
| f13 | theoretically nothing should depend on i386 content... | 14:49 |
| skvidal | that first word is what matters | 14:49 |
| f13 | yep | 14:49 |
| f13 | oh fun.. | 14:50 |
| skvidal | do you have the depsolve output? | 14:50 |
| f13 | removeing \*.i386 does bring stuff out | 14:50 |
| f13 | skvidal: anaconda doesn't save depsolve output anywhere | 14:50 |
| skvidal | it brings out x86_64 stuff? | 14:50 |
| skvidal | f13: then do it in an installroot | 14:50 |
| skvidal | but I'll wager dollars to donuts it's getting pulled in as a dep | 14:50 |
| f13 | looks like PyOpenGL.noarch, gnome-games.x86_64, pygtkglext.x86_64, totem*.x86_64, xorg-x11-drivers.x86-64 | 14:50 |
| f13 | will debug farther | 14:51 |
| skvidal | thanks | 14:51 |
| f13 | skvidal: I blame YOU! | 14:52 |
| f13 | lets kick this over to #fedora-devel | 14:52 |
| skvidal | f13: excellent | 14:52 |
| skvidal | okay | 14:52 |
| jwb | ? | 14:53 |
| * poelcat fills the silence | 14:56 | |
| poelcat | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/ReleaseCriteria | 14:56 |
| poelcat | used to determine ship/noship of beta? | 14:57 |
| wwoods | used for all releases. | 14:57 |
| wwoods | beta being non-final, "SHOULD" items can be ignored | 14:57 |
| * poelcat saw 2007-nov last change... wanted to make sure | 14:57 | |
| wwoods | suggested updates are welcome | 14:58 |
| wwoods | but nobody's suggested anything to me | 14:58 |
| poelcat | looks good to me... i just don't see how we can do it all to be ready on thurs | 14:59 |
| poelcat | in light of current situation | 15:00 |
| wwoods | why? | 15:00 |
| poelcat | wwoods: as i understand it, we can't even start testing yet. Am I missing something? | 15:03 |
| poelcat | testing == verify to release critiera | 15:04 |
| wwoods | we have an updates.img | 15:05 |
| wwoods | and we've tested half of the stuff on there already | 15:05 |
| wwoods | changes in mkinitrd are not going to affect VNC | 15:05 |
| wwoods | so that testing is still valid | 15:05 |
| f13 | poelcat: we have to test, to see what's broken | 15:11 |
| f13 | we can't very well wait until nothing is broken to ... test | 15:11 |
| f13 | ok, ending the meeting so that work can continue. | 15:17 |
