Hey folks! Just wanted to sync up on the Fedora 36 Final process. First, some key dates:
2022-04-05 (1400 UTC): Final freeze starts 2022-04-14: Go/No-Go meeting
We would want to have all known blockers addressed by 2022-04-11 at the latest in order to have sufficient time for validation testing.
Any update that wants to go stable after 2022-04-05 1400 UTC will need to be a fix for a blocker or FE bug, so if there are updates you folks want included in Final that are *not* blocker/FE fixes, please ensure they're submitted in good time. If there's an issue getting sufficient karma for an update, please let us know on the test@ list or the QA IRC/Matrix channel.
Quick note, I'm mostly on PTO from Saturday (April 2) to April 17. I will be checking in periodically but won't be anywhere near as around as I usually am. Please treat pings/pokes from the rest of my team with as much priority as you do or don't usually treat pings/pokes from me. :D coremodule (Geoffrey Marr) and Frantisek Zatloukal will be handling blocker herding duties.
Here are the current proposed and accepted blocker/FE bugs that relate to Workstation:
1. Printer setting: can't scroll media size list Fedora bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2063410 Upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/1704 MR: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/1268 Proposed Blocker This one is a bit awkward because it could be an awkward problem for someone, but the fix is quite intrusive. It'd be good to get more opinions on whether it makes sense to backport this for release, backport it *after* release, or leave it unfixed on 42.
2. Online accounts does not open a new pop up window to show account sync settings Fedora bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2064462 Upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/1651 MR: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/1272 Proposed Blocker I have backported the fix for this and submitted an update, so there should be not action required, I hope, as long as the update gets sufficient karma and I remember to push it stable.
3. File chooser portal dialogs crash on X Fedora bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2068041 Upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4805 MR: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/4605 Proposed Blocker I backported the proposed fix and created an update, though the original reporter has reported that a problem still remains - an error message "The folder contents could not be displayed - Operation was cancelled" appears each time the dialog is opened. It'd be good if someone could fix that.
4. Connections crashes on connection to an RDP server Fedora bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2068015 Upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/connections/-/issues/95 Accepted Blocker Felipe indicated the backtrace is sufficient data to diagnose this, but there doesn't appear to be a fix yet.
5. Overview search box input via input method is broken Fedora bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2062660 Upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2188 MR: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2353 Accepted Blocker I have backported the fix for this and submitted an update, I'll try and test it soon.
6. Workstation Live is frozen in a VM with QXL video driver Fedora bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2063156 Upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2201 Accepted Blocker This is the one I'm most worried about, I guess, as it seems a bit hard to pin down and there's no indication of a fix yet. Testing does seem to indicate pretty clearly it's a real bug and likely in mutter, though. If anyone can help try and figure this out ASAP it'd be great.
Thanks folks!
