2015-05-18 @ 1600 UTC Fedora Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson 15 May '15

15 May '15

# F22 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2015-05-18 # Time: 1600 UTC # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net Time for blocker review once more on Monday! I will not be around to run the meeting as I'm on vacation; roshi will likely be running it. This is the final scheduled blocker review meeting before Go/No-Go, so please make sure any bugs you want discussed are nominated in time. As I write this, there are 5 proposed blockers and 1 proposed freeze exception. We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F22 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good weekend and see you Monday!

Fedora 23 Server: Fate of i686?
by Stephen Gallagher 08 May '15

08 May '15

One thing that came up near the end of today's Server SIG meeting was the question of whether to support Server Roles as Docker containers in Fedora 23. The primary reason for holding off on this in the past was that only x86_64 systems could run Docker. This left i686 and armv7hl (our other two primary architectures) out in the cold if we went this path. However, in recent months, support for Docker has been added to armv7hl. With now only one of Fedora's primary architectures lacking Docker support, it's time to reconsider. There are some strong arguments in favor of containerizing the Server Roles, notably the ability to update the Fedora Server platform and the roles independently. I think we'll likely experiment with creating a containerized Role during the Fedora 23 development phase. Of course, with i686 being the only outlier, it begs an obvious question: Is i686 interesting to us in Fedora Server? I'm not discussing Fedora as a whole: there's plenty of value in supporting i686 for Workstation and for other spins, but it might not be as interesting to this space. The most common reason for the i686 argument is for the repurposing of old hardware, but I have trouble seeing much old hardware being used for Server tasks these days (at least, hardware so old that it cannot run the 64-bit version). I'd like to propose that we stop shipping Fedora Server install media for i686 in Fedora 23. It would still be possible to install the majority of the package set by using the (planned) generic netinstall image in Fedora 23, so if someone *really* wanted a 32-bit version minus the Docker bits, they could get it. Thoughts? Concerns? This isn't a request for a formal vote (yet). I just want to hear what people think about this idea.

Reddit question on Fedora Server
by Matthew Miller 01 May '15

01 May '15

http://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/33wsdb/what_is_fedora_server_all_ab… Anyone want to take a crack at it? Also, as we get to the F22 release, some Fedora Magazine articles about Fedora Server — what, why, and how, from a user/sysadmin perspective — would be awesome. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader
