============================================================================== SUMMARY: 16 System Wide, 19 Self Contained ==============================================================================
Let's tag this for tomorrow's meeting.
Metadata Update from @decathorpe: - Issue tagged with: meeting
Is this up to date presently? I know that as of last week's meeting, several of the BZs had not even been filed, so it's entirely reasonable to assume that their status isn't reflective.
Yes, looks like that hasn't happened yet, so several changes are missing from the report.
Hmm, two initial comments: - the summaries seem to be randomly truncated - tracker bugs are not linked - the fesco ticket is linked, but that's not particularly useful, since we know that all those changes were approved and the tickets have been closed.
This makes this hard to process :(
I went through a batch. If somebody could go through some more before the meeting, that'd be great.
Changes/Automatic DTB selection for aarch64 EFI systems
@ngompa Please provide an update as Owner.
Changes/GNUToolchainF44 GNU Toolchain Update (gcc 16.1, binutils 2.46, glibc 2.43, gdb 16.3)
We have gcc-16.0.1-0.7.fc44/45, binutils-2.46-1.fc44, glibc-2.43-1.fc44, gdb-17.1-2.fc44. So it seems we're one behind, one ahead ;). I asked for clarification in the ticket. This seems fine, no need to do anything.
Changes/golang1.26
golang-1.26~rc3-2.fc44/golang-1.26~rc3-1.fc45 have been built.
Changes/LLVM-22
This one is always late. At this point, the changes are still supposed to be only visible in COPR.
Changes/PackageKit-DNF5
PackageKit-1.3.3-16.fc44 with the change in stable. Status is MODIFIED.
Changes/StopCreatingDefaultNetworkProfilesByAnaconda
No update. @rvykydal??
Changes/Unified KDE OOBE Status: MODIFIED Latest Information: This is all implemented and QA has updated test cases for it. Changes/UseKmsconVTConsole
Changes/Unified KDE OOBE Status: MODIFIED Latest Information: This is all implemented and QA has updated test cases for it.
Changes/UseKmsconVTConsole
This is in progress. We're trying to figure out how to handle enablement of the new unit.
CMake 4.0
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/cmake/pull-request/49 was merged. But status is still ASSIGNED.
CMake: Use ninja generator by default
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2376112 indicates that slightly more than half of packages have been updated.
KTLS implementation for GnuTLS Unfortunately we found some issues, preventing us to deploying this change, hopefully I will have some space to work on it for the next release So please postpone the change. Modernize Live Media I think this will need to be deferred to F45 unfortunately. Package builds are expected to be reproducible We only made small progress on this this cycle. Please reassign to F45. Protobuf 5.x/6.x

Updated on 2026-02-23 ~16:00 UTC:
We discussed this during today's FESCo meeting (meeting log starting at 18:58:53).
Changes up to "mkosi-initrd" were discussed during the meeting, which is the point at which we hit the end of the meeting time slot. I have updated the table above to reflect what was discussed.
Notably, three Change Proposals that have already been postponed (some multiple times) have been explicitly rejected for Fedora 44+. If these should still land in the future, we ask Change owners to prepare updated proposals and submit them again for a future Fedora release:
@alking please process these three accordingly.
/me updated the table above to reflect that the "Podman 6" Change Owners have indicated that this will not be ready for Fedora 44 and have requested the Change to be moved to Fedora 45. No other changes since last week.
Four Changes Deferred to F45:
Unification of boot loader updates, phase 1 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/BootLoaderUpdatesPhase1
Erlang 27 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Erlang_27
kTLS implementation for GnuTLS https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/KTLSSupportForGnuTLS
Podman 6 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Podman6
@alking that's not what was decided.
The first three were REJECTED, not just moved to Fedora 45. The change owners will need to resubmit updated changes if they want to have them land in Fedora 45 or later.
Thanks for clarifying. Apologies, I didn'y realize this when I processed. I'll fix them!
Current status after today's meeting (new comment to avoid too much non-chronological timeline):
Updated on 2026-03-03 ~20:00 UTC:
There were three Changes where the Change owners have indicated in the tracking bug that the Change should be moved to Fedora 45, @alking please process these accordingly:
The following 4 changes have now been properly rejected.
Thank you and sorry for the confusion on my part.
This one was moved to F45, not rejected.
Podman 6 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Podman6 was moved back to F45 last week. Apologies.
There were three Changes where the Change owners have indicated in the tracking bug that the Change should be moved to Fedora 45, @alking please process these accordingly: Modernize Live Media Package builds are expected to be reproducible Protobuf 5.x/6.x
Note that these moves to Fedora 45 have not been processed yet.
Hi Fabio,
These are now deferred to F45.

Current status after today's meeting (new comment to avoid too much non-chronological timeline): Change Proposal FESCo ticket Tracking bug and status Unification of boot loader updates, phase 1 fesco#3344 RHBZ#2342224 (โ REJECTED)
I think there has been a mistake here. I don't see this change being discussed in https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org//meeting_matrix_fedoraproject-org/2026-03-03/fesco.2026-03-03-18.03.log.txt and it has already been implemented for F44 so moving it to rejected without a clear reason is not OK.
@alking Please move this change back to F44.
No mistake, this was already discussed on Feb. 17:

At this point we had no indication that this was done or was being worked on, no communication from the Change owners, nor any updates on the tracking bug since it had been moved from F43 to F44 on 2025-09-01.
If this is indeed fully implemented, then it would have been great to ... update any of the places where this should have been indicated. :)

I had already set the status of the bug to MODIFIED in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2342224#c8, which is the state that is expected for the "Change Checkpoint: Completion deadline (testable)" and was asked for in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2342224#c11.
I've realized that I was the only owner of the change to be CC'ed on the BZ while there was 2 other people in the Change Request wiki page. It would be good if the change wrangler could make sure all the owners mentioned in the wiki page are CC'ed on a change BZ. CC @alking.
But I agree that there could have been more updates from my side on this one. Sorry for that.
Thanks
Hi @siosm -- Thanks for the feedback! Yes, from now on, when I create a new BZ, I will CC all change owners on the bugs.
