[ovirt-devel] [QE][ACTION REQUIRED] oVirt 3.5.0 RC2 status

[Sandro Bonazzola]

Hi,
early this week we postponed oVirt 3.5.0 RC2 to Thu *2014-08-21 08:00 UTC*,
we'll discuss current status in today oVirt sync meeting and eventually postpone RC2 by another week.

Maintainers (supposing we keep Thu *2014-08-21 08:00 UTC*):
- Please be sure that 3.5 snapshot allow to create VMs before *2014-08-20 15:00 UTC*
- Please be sure that no pending patches are going to block the release before *2014-08-20 15:00 UTC*
- If any patch must block the RC release please raise the issue as soon as possible.

The bug tracker [1] shows the following proposed blockers to be reviewed:

Whiteboard	Bug ID	Status	Summary
infra		1127877	POST	vdsm-tool configure --force does not configure qemu.conf properly in the first run on a fresh install
sla		1129261	NEW	prepareImage api call fails with [Errno 2] No such file or directory
sla		1130038	NEW	prepareImage api call fails with [Errno 2] No such file or directory

storage		1127294	POST	Live Merge: Resolve unknown merge status in vdsm after host crash
storage		1109920	POST	Live Merge: Extend internal block volumes during merge


And the following dependencies still open:
Bug 1041569 - [NFR] libvirt: Returning the watermark for all the images opened for writing
Bug 1102881 - virDomainBlockCommit fails with live snapshots on oVirt block storage


Some of above blockers may be dropped on today oVirt sync meeting if still open.
Some of the bugs blocking the release prevents automated testing to verify the release.
Please fix them as soon as possible.


Feature freeze is now effective, and branch has been created.
All new patches must be backported to 3.5 branch too.
Features completed are marked in green on Features Status Table [2]

There are still 425 bugs [3] targeted to 3.5.0.
Excluding node and documentation bugs we still have 381 bugs [4] targeted to 3.5.0.
