Proposed as a Blocker for 29-beta by Fedora user lruzicka using the blocker tracking app because: The bug affects using the functionality of Totem and other Gnome apps. Although workarounded, the functionality should be introduced back into Fedora. Bugs were also reported upstream for Totem, Cheese and Maps, so that their developers could think how they will deal with that. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795745 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795748 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-maps/issues/115 I don't see any grounds on which this currently constitutes a Beta blocker. It's only violating the criteria if the apps aren't working. So long as the issue is worked around, it's not breaking the release criteria. Of course it'd be nice to fix things 'properly', but we don't have to block the Beta on it, IMO. I don't understand enough about exactly where there should be rgb8 to 10 conversion to support legacy 8 bit per channel programs, so that all apps can just work. I know this has been done some time ago on Windows and a bit more recently on macOS, and they did account for legacy programs. For sure the programs that want 10 bit per channel precision should get access and can't remain at a lower precision indefinitely. Instead of using blocker process, I suggest gathering all the relevant bugs with a summary, and put it into a Workstation WG ticket. https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation CCing Mesa and Workstation folks: basically what we want to keep track of here is that things stay in sync. The 10-bit support should ultimately be re-enabled in mesa, but only when the apps that were broken by enabling it have been fixed to work with it. So, trying to make sure everyone's on this bug.

So a brief discussion with various people at the GNOME perf hackfest this week they've indicated it's likely a bug/issue in mesa so will probably have to be fixed there, just noting that here for reference before I forget. Discussed during the 2018-05-14 blocker review meeting: [1] The decision to classify this bug as an RejectedBlocker was made: "As things stand, nothing is broken for F29 Beta. There is no blocker bug here. If the 10-bit support is reintroduced in Mesa without affected applications being fixed, we will revisit this." [1] https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2018-05-14/f29-blocker-review.2018-05-14-16.01.log.txt Rejected as a PrioritizedBug. We have a workaround in place and there are several upstream changes that need to land before this can be addressed in Fedora. This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
