Bug-by-bug detail =================
Accepted blockers -----------------
1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1164492 - gnome-boxes - ASSIGNED Please drop libvirt 'default' network dependency for F27 GA, disrupts livecd networking
This is a 'greatest hit' we've had to deal with for several releases now. Everyone involved more or less knows what the deal is, we just need to make the change and send out an update.
2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1486002 - grub2 - NEW grub2-mkconfig does not work if xen.gz is installed.
This one seems to be well understood and being worked on by pjones and Konrad (our Xen contact). We just need the proposed fix to be verified by Konrad and then sent out as an update.
3. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1491320 - kernel - NEW heavy screen flicker with latest kernels in qxl+spice VM
We've been kicking this one around for a while, but as of today it seems like a kernel-side fix for it may be possible. We now need folks to test and confirm the proposed kernel fix, and kernel team to send out an update containing it (assuming it works).
4. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1494061 - gnome-software - NEW gnome-software doesn't show F25->F27 upgrade even though it should
This one seems quite straightforward - Fedora 25 doesn't show F27 as an option for upgrade, even when the gsettings setting to show development releases is toggled. We need the devs to take a look at this and fix it.
5. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1498207 - libdnf - VERIFIED DNF crash during upgrade installation F26 -> F27
This one seems to be pretty much addressed; in fact an update which two reporters claimed already fixed the issue went stable a week ago. There's a newer update now marked as fixing the bug, so I am asking in the bug for clarification as to whether the newer update is really required to fully fix this bug.
Proposed blockers -----------------
1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1503496 - anaconda - POST FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'grub2-mkconfig'
This looks like a fairly clear-cut blocker (the bug entirely prevents Mac installs from working, I think). I have proposed a fix for this; need pjones / anaconda folks to review and apply it, and send out an update.
2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1489942 - dbxtool - MODIFIED dbxtool fails at boot 'Could not apply database update "DBXUpdate-2016-08-09-13-16-00.bin": Permission denied'
AFAICS this is aarch64-specific, so cannot be accepted as a blocker. pjones keeps trying to fix it, but without any success so far.
3. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1504059 - distribution - NEW Include Firefox 57 at compose
This is basically a 'make a choice' bug, there's no difficult work needed here as the package is already available (and tested and karmaed).
4. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1497691 - dnsmasq - ON_QA CVE-2017-14491 CVE-2017-14492 CVE-2017-14493 CVE-2017-14494 CVE-2017-14495 CVE-2017-14496 dnsmasq: various flaws [fedora-all]
This is already accepted as an FE, and the update is available and karma'ed, so there's no work needed here, it'll just get closed when we do another stable push.
5. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1500834 - kernel - MODIFIED VirtualBox: black screen on fedora 27
I'd say it's relatively unlikely we'd take this as a blocker, but in any case, a fix appears to be available and in a kernel build already, so we'll likely pull it in along with other required kernel fixes. We'll just need people to verify the fix once it's in an official update.
6. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1501762 - kernel - ON_QA CVE-2017-5123 kernel: Missing access_ok() checks in waitid() [fedora-all]
This bug is kinda representing several kernel CVEs the team wants fixed as part of the release. Again the update is already there, so the only work needed here is for QA to verify the kernel works OK.
7. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1501362 - microcode_ctl - NEW Intel microcode not updating --> [Firmware Bug]: TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata; please update microcode to version: 0x25 (or later)
I would say this is unlikely to be a blocker (as it doesn't seem to have any really bad consequences, just a scary warning message). It may be worth an FE. Fixing it shouldn't be a lot of work, the packager only needs to update our bundle of Intel microcode updates (it hasn't been updated since July).
