[ovirt-users] [QE][ACTION REQUIRED] oVirt 3.5.0 RC2 status (postponed)

[Sandro Bonazzola]

Hi,
since we have still too many blockers for oVirt 3.5.0 RC2 release,
we need to postpone it again to Thu *2014-08-21 08:00 UTC*

Due to this delay, the oVirt schedule has changed as follow:
- General availability: 2014-09-03 (Wed)
- oVirt 3.5 Third Test Day: 2014-08-28 (Thu)
- RC2 Build: 2014-08-21 (Thu)

Maintainers:
- 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:

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

1128776	storage		NEW		Can't change a vm disk's storage domain from a file domain to a block domain when creating a template...

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

Some of above blockers may be dropped on next 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.
