@adamwill:fedora.im - 4 ======================= 2026-04-22 18:53:00 - lots of internal agile-y meetings, such fun - reported another [ELN ppc64le dep issue](https://github.com/fedora-eln/eln/issues/487), yselkowitz says he doesn't want buildroot-only reports, thought a bit about how to avoid that - updated an [openqa needle](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/commit/218e266e40976eee84f23a08e373d3121f1c6038) for a new Firefox release - re-reviewed, tweaked, tested [gnome-initial-setup test PR](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/pulls/517) - [tweaked the ai-code-review workflow](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/workflows/pulls/2) to allow callers to pass in a config file - started work on enabling [cyrillic and asian install tests on KDE](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/issues/524) - [sent a PR](https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/pull/6103) to have bodhi updates download retry 502 failures, though now I'm thinking we should probably do it in Koji instead - proposed Firefox 150 security fixes as an [f44 blocker](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2460531) (sigh) 2026-04-23 15:39:00 - checked on blockers etc, kparal had everything in hand and a new rc built - restarted a bunch of openQA test flakes - [reduced concurrency](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/ansible/commit/583c76363d0f67093611e1510dc9b093d6dc038a) on aarch64 workers to see if it'd help with flakes - reported a [samba update dep issue](https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-12549c6a9b#comment-4624717) - finished and merged [cyrillic/japanese install tests on KDE](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/pulls/530), added a [follow-up fix for ELN](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/commit/5054cbe07fc46cf3ac335ee5924db5162c768ab5) - worked on [running notification tests as a fresh user](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/src/branch/notifications-fresh-user) to see if it helps with flakes, not sure whether it does yet - looked into making Koji retry failed package downloads, discovered it actually already does but with only three retries and a very short backoff factor, [proposed extending it a bit](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/koji/koji/pulls/4569) 2026-04-25 06:17:00 - ran [f44 go/no-go meeting 2](https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/meeting_matrix_fedoraproject-org/2026-04-23/f44-final-go-no-go-meeting-2.2026-04-23-18.00.html), we're go for tuesday! - filed [final stable push request](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/releng/tickets/issues/13243#issuecomment-675607) -

investigated [gnome-initial-setup running on eln live images](https://github.com/fedora-eln/eln/issues/481) with yselkowitz, ultimately wound up with a [livesys-scripts PR](https://pagure.io/livesys-scripts/pull-request/37) - tweaked rmdepcheck in openqa to [run against compose repos, not buildroot, for ELN updates](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/pulls/533) - investigated staging fedora forge being down, submitted a [pr](https://codeberg.org/fedora/forgejo/pulls/92) - travelled to bellingham for linuxfest northwest, dinner with neal gompa and friends 2026-04-28 07:06:00 - wrote my [slides](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/attachments/0209ad51-01fa-4d12-8946-1559757af21b) for LinuxFest Northwest, [gave the talk](https://www.youtube.com/live/NpZpzUIxEQg?si=dL2uTVgq9NiSwi_9&t=3562), I think it went pretty well - poked at blockerbugs deployment stuff a bit with @jgroman and nirik, got everything working eventually but there's something odd going on with deployment/deploymentconfig, will try and get it cleaned up with nirik - [proposed a fix](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/ansible/pulls/3307) for something that bugs me every time I run openshift plays - more LinuxFest stuff: went to the social event, saw some useful talks, did some booth duty. see [ticket](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/paperwork/issues/40) - [Reviewed](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/pulls/534#issuecomment-675936) lukas' toolbox update PR - Dropped Power support from openQA [tests](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/pulls/535) and [scheduler](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/fedora_openqa/pulls/137) - Made the changes that should enable testing of the image-builder Silverblue images in [scheduler](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/fedora_openqa/pulls/138) and [tests](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/pulls/536), didn't confirm it works yet @kparal:matrix.org -

common issue: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/black-screen-when-unlocking-encrypted-disk-during-boot/189607 - QA meeting @kashyapc:fedora.im - 1 ======================= 2026-04-27 08:44:00 - _(Meta note: Update for the last week.)_ F44 rebuild update (mostly David did this via automated triggers): 60% of rebuild is done so far. (This is expected as we're with reduced Koji builders for a little while.) - Started a local rebase of my Fedora LLVM patches in my fork. Still have to test it on P550 and submit for review. The builds are time-consuming; it'll be a background task over the week. - Resumed debugging 'libomp' [test failures](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/riscv/planning/issues/2). Setup an environment on DP1000. This is going to be a bit of a grind. - Started work on OpenJDK 26 for Fedora, but had to pause it for a week. Fedora's OpenJDK maintainer alerted me about some recently [unembargoed security issues](https://openjdk.org/groups/vulnerability/advisories/2026-04-21). We discussed a plan forward. - Created a [ticket](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/riscv/planning/issues/16) for Fedora 'omni' kernel tags - Started work on OpenJDK 26 for Fedora, but had to pause it for a week. Fedora's OpenJDK maintainer alerted me about some recently [unembargoed security issues](https://openjdk.org/groups/vulnerability/advisories/2026-04-21). We discussed a plan forward. - Explored what it takes to create a shadow Koji instance for RISC-V that tracks Rawhide. DavidA already tried several years ago and had to drop it due to deep-sync issues; there are some workarounds to deal with it today. (Half-baked ideas: we could write an updated [koji-shadow](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/koji/koji/src/branch/master/util/koji-shadow) but it's time-intensive. Experiment with a local copy, we don't want to mess with the active RISC-V Koji instance. (Also needs a capable "volunteer" with time to try this out.) - Investigated eGPU (external GPU) docks; last time I looked the one we need was out of stock. Luckily one came back in stock so I immediately ordered. It is to drive the Tenstorrent's AI 'accelerator' card. - Started studying Tenstorrent's [software stack](https://github.com/tenstorrent/tt-installer) and how to set it up. - RISC-V Scrum admin, Concur admin, and QC. - Meetings: 7hrs @pbokoc:fedora.im - 3 ===================== 2026-04-22 13:02:00 - Opened a request for a docs archive forgejo org - Opened a request for a docs archive forgejo org - Merged some PRs, left some feedback - Bunch of meetings 2026-04-23 10:02:00 - Merged some more PRs - Showed a newcomer around and gave him an issue to work on - Reeeelnoooooteeees 2026-04-24 08:30:00 - Opened https://forge.fedoraproject.org/forge/forge/issues/539 - Relnotes - Meeting with Rodney about issue tracking; set up a project for the docs org in Forgejo
