Reporting validation results with relval: please update python-mwclient to 0.7
by Adam Williamson 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

Hi, folks. Sorry for the cross-post, but wanted to try reach everyone I'd mentioned my little 'relval' tool to. If you have been using 'relval' to report validation results, or are thinking of trying it, please make sure you update python-mwclient to 0.7. Josef Skladanka submitted a few results using relval yesterday which messed up the Desktop page, and kindly fixed up the page and let me know about the problem (thanks, Josef!) On investigation I found the problem is that python-mwclient 0.6.5 is missing the ability to read in the text of a single page section (it looks like it has it, but it actually doesn't). Any time you submit a result to a multi-section page with python-mwclient 0.6.5, this will happen. With python-mwclient 0.7 it works fine. I'm going to send out a python-wikitcms update which requires python-mwclient 0.7 ASAP, and get the python-mwclient 0.7 update into stable for all releases also ASAP, but just in case anyone isn't updating regularly or anything, I thought I'd send a note. Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

Test Day Wiki Page.
by John Unland 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

Afternoon everyone, I would like to announce that the ticket has been submitted and added to the calender as a placeholder. I also went ahead and made a wikipage for the Test Day (Link is below), if anyone has any free time, please feel free to look at it and proof read it and make changes if any information does not align with our test day. I would also like to mention that the administration working with the ticket handling said that they usually like to have test day's on a Tuesday or Thursday but there okay with having it on Friday. Thought I would rely that to everyone for future reference. Anyways, have a great day. Wikipage: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2014-11-07_Server

Announcing Fedora Outreach mailing list -- please subscribe if interested
by Matthew Miller 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

Because response to the Fedora Outreach Steering Committee proposal has been overwhelmingly positive, I created a new mailing list, initially to discuss the possible creation of such a group and to coordinate actually doing it, and then eventually to be a discussion list _for_ the group. If you are interested in this, please subscribe at <https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/outreach>. Thanks! [This message is massively multi-posted — please don't reply. Instead, discuss on the new list!] -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

Fedora 21 Beta RC2 status is **FAILED**, RC3 will be coming
by Adam Williamson 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

Wanted to keep everyone in the loop so people don't feel like their time has been wasted. We discovered at the blocker review meeting today that there's a problem with the RC2 compose. Blocker and FE packages that were pushed stable yesterday - https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5988#comment:17 - were taken out of the 'bleed' repository where blocker/FE fixes are pulled into composes before they go stable, but they did not actually get mashed/distributed in time to be included in the RC2 compose. The upshot is that RC2 has incorrect (old) versions of initscripts, systemd and fedup-dracut. This means that RC2 will be subject to at least https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1114786 , https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1099299 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1146580 , so it definitely cannot be released as the Beta. We will need an RC3 compose, and testing of RC2 will not be sufficient to clear RC3 for release due to the significance of systemd. Testing of RC2 is not entirely useless - it's still useful to check there are no regressions in anaconda 21.48-13, for instance - but we will need to do a good degree of testing on RC3 when it lands later today before we can consider clearing RC3 for release. I'm very sorry to folks who've already put work into testing RC2 for the mistake. Keep your eyes peeled for RC3! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

[Action Required] Fedora 21 Server Beta Validation
by Stephen Gallagher 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

As I assume everyone on this list knows by now, Beta was delayed by a week due to several blocker bugs. (The only known blocker bug unique to Server was an SELinux issue that has been subsequently resolved). Part of this slippage was due to late receipt of a viable release candidate build (we really only got it on Thursday and had very limited time to validate and determine its suitability). We are expecting to receive another release candidate build sometime hopefully today, but possibly tomorrow. We are going to desperately need to run through the release validation tests again. I did all of the x86_64 testing myself last time around (with some help from the ARM folks to do a basic smoke-test on that platform). I'd very much like to parcel out the validation responsibilities for RC2 so that we can get the coverage done quicker. The set of validation tests that have to pass are listed here: https://www.happyassassin.net/testcase_stats/21/Server.html You can use Adam Williamson's handy-dandy relval tool[1] (release validation, not to be confused with relative value) to submit the test results. All of the x86_64 tests can be performed against virtual instances; there are no hardware testing requirements there. The ARM tests might be more complicated; I'm going to ask Kevin Fenzi and Paul Whalen to chime in on how to get that set up. Since I've already got an environment set up for Active Directory, I will handle the Testcase_realmd_join_kickstart and Testcase_realmd_join_kickstart tests for x86_64 as well as any of the other tests that I can get around to (Consider only the AD tests covered; I will be double-checking some of the more important ones). The firewall tests are very easy, so these would be useful for a beginner to jump into. The Cockpit tests are also pretty straightforward, though the Cockpit realm join will require setting up some infrastructure (such as running the "Testcase_Server_role_deploy - Domain Controller" test first). If you volunteer for this, please commit yourself to the time (sometime in the 24 hours following the RC2 availability announcement) to finish them. If after volunteering you discover that you cannot manage it, please inform the list as soon as possible so we can find someone to take over. Volunteering should be done by replying to this email, keeping the Server list in the TO: or CC: so that everyone knows what has been claimed. I will be talking to the Badges folks about getting a badge for assisting with Release Validation for Fedora 21. [1] https://www.happyassassin.net/2014/10/14/i-wrote-a-thing-relval-wikitcms-1-…

F21 Server Test Proposal and Questions
by John Unland 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

Hello everyone, I am looking through the SOP for the test day. I have come up with a possiable date which is November 7th (Friday) for the whole day. Figured it would be better to do it all day so that the community can have flexability when testing. Also I would like to bring up test cases, since I came in a couple of weeks ago most of you know the system more than I do, so does anyone have any suggestions for test cases? Also since it is a server without any DE do I still need to create a custom testday image? If so is there anything we need to add to the image itself that's specific to our test day? Thanks.

proposal for new "FOSCo" group to mirror FESCo
by Matthew Miller 27 Oct '14

27 Oct '14

I posted individual messages to a number of other mailing lists, but this one I'm just cross-posting to the three lists for the product working groups. We've floated a proposal to have a new "Fedora Outreach Steering Committee", which would replace FAmSCo — so no net new governance groups added, following Mitr's ban on such things :). The idea is to help coordinate marketing, support, and evangelism like we do the engineering side of things. I'm posting this on _these_ lists, because I think that if we do go this route, we should have FOSCo WG liaisons just like the FESCo liaison. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader
