Big plus one from me. I'm not sure there's much point in the beta if we're just going to land a 100+ package mega-update after all the QA work has already been done. richard: well, the point is that we now have quite a lot of testing to prove that the 3.3.91 stuff, while boring and old and full of memory leaks, basically works and hits our criteria. if it turns out there's a big problem in 3.4, then stock installs of Beta will still work, and so will the live image, so it's easy to wait it out while the update's fixed. if it turns out that introducing 3.4 causes big issues and we add it to the beta, that kind of narfs the process entirely. we can't just ship a broken beta and tell people to wait for the update... this will come up at the blocker/nth meeting in 40 minutes, so be there if you want to see the fireworks. =) -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Discussed at 2012-03-30 NTH review meeting, but we agreed to defer the decision until we had some more testing with GNOME 3.4. Tim and I will build live images and do the desktop validation tests. Note that we would also want to pull in a new selinux-policy if we take this, due to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808039 . -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers A desktop ISO with GNOME 3.4 passes validation for me, which is good. Can be downloaded for testing from http://adamwill.fedorapeople.org/rc3test-20120330-x86_64.iso . It's a bit big (though I think just under size for a 700MB CD), but that would go down with gnome-boxes removed. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers From: test Digest, Vol 97, Issue 110 Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:40:25 -0600 From: Tim Flink <tflink> To: test.org Subject: Gnome 3.4 Testing ---clip... Note: Neither of these LiveCDs is an official build and they both have most of the issues that are in F17 beta RC2. I'm not even sure that either of them would actually fit on a CD. Please don't use these livecds to add results to the desktop test matrix. i686 LiveCD: http://tflink.fedorapeople.org/iso/F17-preRC3-gnome34.i686.live.iso http://tflink.fedorapeople.org/iso/F17-preRC3-gnome34.i686.live.iso.sha256 x86_64 LiveCD: http://adamwill.fedorapeople.org/rc3test-20120330-x86_64.iso Discussed at 2012-04-02 QA meeting, acting as an NTH review meeting. We agreed to accept this as NTH because we're completely fucking insane and we want an RC3 which doesn't work. Wait, that's not right. We agreed to take it because it fixes quite a lot of known bugs, including some serious ones and memleaks, our testing of the custom live spins didn't reveal any blocking issues, and obviously we want to ship with the final 3.4 and not a pre-release. Note we should also pull selinux-policy 3.10.0-109 with the new GNOME, to fix https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808050 (not 808039 as incorrectly linked above). Because, you know, if changing the entire default desktop isn't enough to make sure we break RC3, pulling in a new selinux-policy ought to freaking well do it. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Can people please vote on NTH status for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808050 so we have bureaucratic cover to pull it in as well? Thanks. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers we can close this, the giant update went stable so it'll be in all future composes. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers |
