Please be aware that the summary is intended for a quick convenient
recapitulation of the meeting, but might contain factual errors. Read the
full meeting log for all the details.
PREVIOUS MEETING FOLLOW-UP
Adam Williamson noted that there were no action items from the previous
meeting. He also mentioned that an impasse regarding the GNOME test days
has been resolved.
FEDORA 43 PRE-RELEASE CHECK-IN
With Fedora 43 scheduled for release the following day, the team checked
for last-minute emergencies.
* Anaconda/BTRFS Bug: Kamil Páral is working on a common issue write-up
for a bug where reformatting a BTRFS subvolume with nested subvolumes
crashes the Anaconda installer (Bug 2406198 [2]). Adam Williamson will
handle writing up the other common issues.
* Availability: Kamil noted that he and Lukáš Růžička would be
unavailable on release day due to a public holiday in the Czech Republic.
* Other Common Issues:
* Another issue needing documentation is updates failing when a
fourth kernel doesn't fit on /boot (Bug 2394213 [3]), which often affects
users with a 512MiB /boot partition or NVIDIA drivers.
* The openh264 situation has improved for users in Ukraine but still
affects those in Russia and other sanctioned states. Adam advised checking
with lawyers before documenting workarounds for individuals in embargoed
regions.
* Kamil questioned if a postfix service disablement issue was too
narrow to document, but Adam confirmed he would write it up, stating it
affects important services and is likely triggered by upgrades across the
usr/sbin merge.
* Action: Kamil authorized Adam to publish the finished common issues by
moving them from the "Proposed Common Issues" category to the "Common
Issues" category on the discussion forum.
FEDORA 44 PREVIEW
The team looked ahead to the Fedora 44 development cycle.
* Key Dates: Important dates for F44 were shared:
* Change Deadline: 2025-12-23
* Branch Point: 2026-02-03
* Beta Freeze: 2026-02-17
* Blockerbugs App: Kamil Páral needs to update the blockerbugs
application for the F44 milestones. This task requires OpenShift commands,
as the admin interface has known bugs. He and Adam agreed that whoever gets
to it first will perform the update.
* F44 Changes:
* Adam noted the BootLoaderUpdatesPhase1 change [4] could be
significant if it lands this cycle.
* Neal Gompa (conan\_kudo) clarified that the remaining part of the
Modernize Live Media change [5] is the auto-persistence ("autooverlay")
feature. Splitting the change document became complex after Ben Cotton was
laid off.
* Personnel: Adam announced that amoloney is on leave, and Allison King
will take over change wrangling duties for F44.
TEST DAY / COMMUNITY EVENT STATUS
Adam Williamson reported that the GNOME 49 test days and Kernel 6.17 test
week had recently concluded. Neal Gompa requested that a test day be
scheduled for the new Plasma release expected in Fedora 44.
Adam proposed sending out the general call for F44 test days soon, noting
the timing is consistent with previous cycles. Kamil Páral mentioned he
also plans to ask psklenar about potentially maintaining test days in the
future.
OPEN FLOOR
Derek Enz and Kamil Páral confirmed they had no other topics to discuss.
