jds2001yeah, brain not functioning this morning16:06
wwoodsso the question is: lock to US Eastern time (1500UTC16:06
summer, 1600 winter)
jds2001still too early after all the jubilation had last night :)16:07
wwoodsor just move it to 1600UTC (11am EST, noon EDT)16:07
wwoodsscheduling meetings over lunchtime is kinda cruel16:07
wwoodsso I lean towards: 11am US Eastern16:08

f1316th sounds like a great cutoff day16:13
f1317th if your nasty16:14
wwoodslet's say 16th16:14
wwoodsif someone absolutely needs to get something in on the16:14
17th it's gonna earn a lot of scowls
jlaskainstallation related results are looking fairly16:14
positive ... while there are lots of medium severity bugs I'm finding
< jlaska>16:14
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestResults/Fedora10Install/Preview
jlaskaLUKS installs are under represented there.  We've16:15
talked in the past about refreshing that matrix, but I haven't had
time to organize my thoughts there
jlaskaif someone wants to help with that, I'd be happy to tag-team16:15
wwoodswhat're the most common cases?16:15
wwoods1) default encrypted partitioning, 2) encrypted /home,16:16
3) upgrade from F9 with default enc.
wwoodsas long as those are represented I'd be happy16:17

wwoodsgotcha. well, this is another case where we need test prorities16:19
wwoodsnot to get all philosophical and all but we need to16:19
make sure we spend the most time testing stuff that people actually
use the most
* jds2001 thinks that all that mix+match stuff is low priority.16:20
leitzNoob questions. What's LUKS, and are you planning on16:20
default encryping the partition tables or data?
jlaskano complaints here regarding prioritization16:20
wwoods(although you can argue that users of F10Preview test16:20
all that by default)
wwoodsso it kind of means that if we don't test the corner16:20
cases, nobody will
jlaskaleitz:16:20
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Features/EncryptedBlockDevices
* leitz clicks on link...16:21
jds2001and no encryption by default, but it's an easy check box.16:21
wwoodsleitz: you can set it up either way, but the typical16:21
setup is to leave the partition *table* unencrypted
wwoodsand have one encrypted partition that's used as the16:22
block device for your LVM group, or /home, or whatever
jlaskaso I'd like to re-organize the encrypted test cases16:23
(with noted prioritization in mind). I just haven't been able to yet.
If someone would like to help with that effort please throw something
my way :)
-!- stickster_afk is now known as stickster16:23
wwoodsduly noted16:23
wwoodsencrypted filesystems is definitely one of the things16:24
we've been seeing a lot of bug reports on / hearing a lot of people
mention
wwoodsshould also make sure any bugs regarding that get on16:25
blocker or target
wwoodsI think it's also about time we start moving bugs from16:25
F10Target to F11Blocker/Target
wwoodsstuff like bug 119697.. not gonna happen if it hasn't already16:25
buggbotBug16:25
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119697 medium,
medium, ---, twaugh@redhat.com, ASSIGNED, RFE: add a gendiff that
works
leitzSo you're fixing the *optional* ability to encrypt data16:26
and partition information in Anaconda, via LUKS which has been
available since F5.
wwoodsleitz: yes16:27
wwoodsin F9 it was added to the installer UI as a simple checkbox16:27
wwoodsso a *lot* more people are using it now16:27
leitzIs it machine or arch dependant? Can I take a HD out of16:27
an i386 box, install it in a ppc box, and read the data, assuming I
have the password?
pjonesleitz: should work, yes.16:27
leitzCool. Edge case but common in large enterprises. Our16:28
machines choke and we move data via hard disk.
f13gah, sorry I was distracted.16:28
wwoodsso we need to ensure that it works as expected,16:28
*especially* during upgrades.
f13jds2001: mdraid + encryption isn't that far fetched16:29
wwoodswhich reminds me.. we should add some upgrade cases16:29
jlaskait isn't, but there are limitations around mirror iirc16:29
f13mdraid + lvm + encryption is going overboard, but not by16:29
much given we don't have a good story for partitioning md arrays
-!- kital [n=Joerg_Si@fedora/kital] has quit [Remote closed the16:30
connection]
leitzIf you install a new version of the OS, can it wipe the16:30
HD if the partition tables and data are encrypted and you don't know
the password?
wwoodsleitz: of course16:30
wwoodsbut this isn't really the time to discuss LUKS16:31
wwoodsgetting back to installation test planning for f10 final16:31
jlaskaleitz: this is a prime example of a feature needing16:31
more concrete use cases ... that might work well to combine our
efforts to get a more suitable matrix in place
f13leitz: yes, we're quite good at destroying the data on16:31
your disk, regardless of how it's protected.
wwoods- clean up LUKS cases16:31
wwoods- add Upgrade cases16:31
f13about the only thing you can do to protect your disk from16:31
anaconda's ability to wipe it is to use the secure disk stuff that say
xboxs use on the partition tables.
wwoodsanything else that's missing, or been obsoleted and16:32
should be removed, etc.
f13I don't even recall the right terminology for that,16:32
perhaps pjones does.

pjonesI don't know what xbox does.16:33
f13well, it uses some standard that is supported by the16:33

f13you have to have a key in order to 'unlock' the16:33

pjonesATA certainly includes the ability to lock disks with a key16:34
pjonesIt's not encryption, but it is access control.  I'm16:34
not familiar with all of the implementation details.

leitzMac or IBM server?16:41
jds2001leitz: we always make jokes about our 8 ppc users.16:41
But there really are a lot.
wwoodsprobably split fairly evenly between the two16:42

jds20012769 according to smolt, which would be a low number16:43
wwoodsokay, I'm exaggerating, but it's still 0.7%16:43
jds2001indeed :)16:43
leitzIs there a use case for the ~20 IBM server folks, and16:43
do the 40 ppc users contribute back to the development effort?
jds2001yes, they do.16:44
leitzThat is, are you working hard for a hard working16:44
segment of the community?
wwoodswell that's the thing - because there are so few PPC16:44
users, the contribution-per-user ratio is *enormous* by comparison
f13well.16:44
f13the problem with things like statistics is that they are16:45
self selecting
wwoodsmost of the known PPC users are either kernel devs,16:45
work on core fedora packages, or both
drago01ps316:45
f13there are large swaths of folks within IBM using/working16:45
on it, but they won't get reported in anything like smolt or our
download numbers
f13but ppc does get the least amount of visible testing16:46

wwoodspractically forever16:48
wwoodsin Fedora terms16:48
f13leitz: yes, for better or worse, ppc is a primary arch.16:48
If there are ppc blockers, they block.
f13wwoods: I'm pretty certain just last release we had a16:49
late rebuild a bunch of ppc stuff due to selinux
wwoodsit limps along because nobody can make the argument16:49
that it's too broken to maintain it further
wwoodsbecause it's never *quite* that broken16:49

you think it means

handy, would you? I admit I haven't seen the particular reports

wwoodsf13: shoot17:11
f13was the feature owner asking to revert the feature, or is17:11
there a witch hunt about to force the issue?
viking_iceso far empathy is..17:11
wwoodsIIRC bpepple is the empathy/telepathy maintainer17:11
f13IE was QA asked if they would accept a revert, or was QA17:11
asked if we would force a revert?
wwoodsthe former17:12
jds2001f13: bpepple and I were talking about this at OLF a17:12
few weeks back.
f13ok.17:12
jds2001he really didn't think it'd be ready17:12
f13then we shouldn't really be discussing how well empathy17:12
works, or whether it passed it's QA marks
wwoodsit works fine for simple things but doesn't support17:12
stuff like.. file transfers
f13we should be talking about whether we'd accept a default17:12
change at this point to go back to pidgin.
wwoodsbut that's specifically what he asked: what QA thought17:12
of Empathy as the default
f13ah.17:12
wwoodsand my response was: the plan says use it as the17:13
default and make sure it works. It works as expected.
f13that's different than asking us if we'd accept a revert.17:13
viking_iceqouting himself "<bpepple|lt> allquixotic: I17:13
actually use Empathy (and maintain the telepathy stack in Fedora), and
I don't really think it's ready ye"
wwoodsbpepple: ping?17:13
bpepplewwoods: I was going to talk about the feature process17:13
in the fesco meeting later if you want to attend.
wwoodsah, hooray17:13
wwoodsyes I do17:13
viking_iceinstall both pidgin and empathy or just pidgin17:14
with default installs
* bpepple is reading scroll back.17:14
viking_iceIs there anything against both of the im clients17:14
being installed by default?
wwoodsviking_ice: there's no discussion there, afaik.17:15
Empathy will be installed by default because it's required by GNOME
2.24.
wwoodsthe only question is whether we install pidgin as well.17:15
f13viking_ice: bloat17:15
viking_iceThat's not a question..17:15
bpepplef13: I maintain the telepathy stack, and I co-maintain empathy.17:15
viking_iceInstall it as well17:15
viking_icegive people the chance to adapted in F10 by having17:16
them both then just have empathy in F11
-!- greenlion [n=greenlio@fedora/greenlion] has quit [Read17:16
error: 113 (No route to host)]
wwoodsbpepple: so were you wondering about the QA17:16
implications of installing pidgin by default? or asking what the QA
verdict on Empathy was?
wwoodsI mean we already install libpurple, since Empathy17:17
needs it for AIM
wwoodsso we already have a large chunk of pidgin installed17:17
-!- kital [n=Joerg_Si@fedora/kital] has joined #fedora-meeting17:17
bpeppleI was asking about the qa verdict, but if the ship17:17
has sailing on changing the default I understand, but I think we're
going to take a beating from the community about changing the default.
f13for my vote, I would not be opposed to making the default17:18
switch at this point
wwoodsor just installing both17:18
bpepplewwoods: btw, jlaska was mentioning yesterday that aim17:18
wasn't working in Empathy, though he hasn't had time to file a bug.
viking_iceI say Both17:18
jds2001right, but there's a menu option of IM client17:18
wwoodsand having a release note mentioning that pidgin won't17:19
installed by default anymore in F11 (or whenever Empathy meets some
specification)
jds2001the discussion is whether that option gives you17:19
pidgin or empathy, right?
wwoodsbpepple: WFM17:19

bpepplewwoods: that's good, if aim wasn't working I would17:20
say that would be a blocker.
f13jds2001: I don't think so17:20
f13jds2001: they would both be in the menu if both were installed17:20
-!- stickster is now known as stickster_food17:20
viking_icefor the first time actually 2 hours ago I managed17:20
to get a connection in empathy with msn
wwoodsjds2001: no, I think we have to install empathy, since17:20
it's part of GNOME.. but I guess not?
wwoodsyou can remove just the 'empathy' package without17:20
pulling out a bunch of GNOME deps
viking_iceand that's in the whole f10 dev cycle17:21
jds2001right - i was thinking more .desktop files17:21
wwoodstelepathy and empathy-libs still are requred by GNOME though17:21
bpepplewwoods: I don't think it's a hard requirement yet.17:21
jds2001there's an option in the menu that says something to17:22
the effect of IM, Video, Whatever (sorry on a Windows box atm)
bpepplebut we should verify that with walters or mclasen.17:22
Truthfully, they should be included in the discussion anyhow since
they are the feature owners on this.
wwoodsbpepple: should we ping 'em in advance of the FESCo meeting?17:23
f13jds2001: we can't have package sets that both use the17:23
same menu entry
f13jds2001: because then you wouldn't easily be able to have17:23
them both installed.
bpeppleyeah, definitely.  I was going to talk in more17:23
general terms of the feature process, since I thought it was too late
to be reverting Empathy.
jds2001f13: right, we're talking past each other here, but17:24
not a big deal :)
wwoodsIt's not too late to discuss it, anyway17:24
* jds2001 not a desktop guy at any rate.17:24
viking_iceHave both pidgin and empathy install. let the user17:24
choose and let empathy play catchup with pidgin and mature a bit. if
pidgin is not installed by default it will stir up the community and
empathy does not even support half of what pidgin does
wwoodsthe change can still be made, even if I would have17:24
been much happier if this discussion had happened earlier
wwoodsbut then, how would that have worked? at what point17:25
were we supposed to say "nope, this doesn't meet our unwritten
requirements"
bpepplewwoods: agreed, that's what I would really like to17:25
cover in FESCo, so we don't have this happen again.
wwoodsanyway, that's for the FESCo meeting17:25
wwoodsthe takeaway for QA is: we need more detailed test17:26
plans / specs to make these kinds of decisions clearer
wwoodsI think that's all we need to say about that for now17:26
wwoods(FESCo meeting in ~30min)17:26
wwoodsanything else we should discuss?17:26
