#2955 F38 incomplete Changes: testable deadline
Closed: Accepted by sgallagh. Opened by bcotton.

Closed: Accepted
Reopen Issue

On Tuesday, 7 Februray we reached the Change Checkpoint: Completion deadline (testable). At this milestone all the F38 Changes should be testable, which is indicated by "MODIFIED" status of a tracking bug. A Bugzilla query shows all the tracking bugs which are not in "MODIFIED" state and are not considered testable. System-Wide Changes with the contingency date in bold are past the stated contingency date.

These changes are presented for FESCo review to determine what action, if any, should be taken. The next deadline is 21 Februray when all changes should be 100% code complete.

Self-Contained Changes

Updates

Updates:

Since this is a bit time sensitive (the beta freeze has already started), I'm adding this to the agenda for today's meeting.

Metadata Update from @decathorpe:
- Issue tagged with: meeting

This was discussed during today's meeting. For reference, the full meeting log is available here.

Summary:

  • AGREED: The Change "Drop NIS(+) support from PAM" has not
    been implemented for F38 and will be returned to "incomplete" state
    (+7, 0, -0)
  • AGREED: The Change "Retire the NIS(+) user-space utility
    programs" has not been implemented for F38 and will be returned to
    "incomplete" state (+7, 0, -0)
  • AGREED: The Change "Legacy Xorg driver removal" has not been
    implemented for F38 and will be deferred to F39 (+7, 0, -0)
  • The Change "Modernize Live Media" has been updated to ON_QA status
  • AGREED: The Change "Ostree Native Container (Phase 2,
    stable)" has not been implemented for F38 and will be deferred to
    F39 (+7, 0, -0)
  • AGREED: In addition to being deferred to F39, FESCo requests
    that the Change "Ostree Native Container (Phase 2, stable)" will
    have a contingency deadline of F39 Beta Freeze and the Scope of the
    proposal will be filled (+7, 0, -0)
  • AGREED: The Change "Unified kernel support phase 1" does not
    seem to have been implemented fully yet, let's wait (+6, 1, -0)
  • The Change "RPMautospec by default" only changes the recommended
    defaults in documentation. There is nothing to do regarding the F38
    beta freeze.
  • The Change "Unflitered flathub" has been implemented and should be
    testable.
  • AGREED: The Change "glibc32 Build Adjustments" has not been
    implemented for F39, and has already been deferred since Fedora 29.
    It is marked as "incomplete". Change owners can submit an updated
    proposal at any time. (+7, 0, -0)
  • The Change "Haskell GHC 9.2 and Stackage 20" has been implemented
    and is set to ON_QA.
  • AGREED: The Change "Enable bootupd for Fedora Silverblue &
    Kinoite" does not look done yet, but we can't tell. Change owners
    are asked for comment, and this will be discussed again next week.
    (+6, 0, -0)

@bcotton what would be the process for sending unimplemented changes back into the "incomplete" state? and ... same question for the ones that were deferred :)

Metadata Update from @decathorpe:
- Issue untagged with: meeting

I'll (probably tomorrow) update the wiki pages and

  • for the Changes we're sending back to incomplete, close the tracking BZ and release notes issue with a note and a link to the meeting log
  • for the Changes deferred to F39, update the tracking BZ and release notes issue

Paperwork filed. New issue coming!

Tagged pending announcement in case the chair wants to include an announcement in next week's agenda, but I'm fine with closing this now.
