Branching is always a little messy and requires some manual supervision of openQA - https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/infra/sysadmin_guide/openqa/#_handling_fedora_branch_events . F44 branches on 2026-02-03 so we need to take care of that.

Standard tasks:

Stuff that came up:

Standard tasks: * [Added f45 to workarounds matrix](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/commit/6e61843b5a2c7761adc356939dec3ccc8a549674) * [Bypassed desktop_background till we have f44 backgrounds](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/commit/d2b347c43acda25d224d55c225133645a2464ddf) - need to file a blocker for that * [Added](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/commit/4d544f5ea2b6c66cbeade0353ebb84e718c25fef) [f45 version ident needles](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/commit/6bc4aa65e3d36763b1cc628fb6521fbd8d0263fe) * Re-generated all the base disk images * Re-ran / re-triggered failed tests Stuff that came up: * The kmscon change was not reverted in the fedora-release we built for F44, so we got a couple of composes with kmscon enabled, which breaks a lot of tests. Had to [revert the change](https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-74d6bf8f8f), waive failures on the update, force another compose, and force rebuilds of all the base images with buildroot repo enabled to get kmscon out ASAP (we can look at adding it again later, with needles, when we have time to breathe) * [fedfind release metadata caching messes with cloud/container sync](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/fedfind/issues/33) - [fixed that now](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/fedfind/pulls/34), it'll be better for next time. Had to [work around it in the tests temporarily](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/commit/b9ec29f79747d5edf467e1db9563dd32251ae859) this time * [Should clarify in releng SOP that the least bad time to update the metadata is right before doing the composes](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/docs/pulls/489#issuecomment-376451) * [Critpath metadata got lost temporarily for the new Branched release](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/docs/pulls/489#issuecomment-376451), so all updates went stable without testing/gating. That's bad. After discussion with @kevin , came up with [a critpath.py script change](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/releng/tooling/pulls/13022) that should prevent that happening in future * First attempt at critpath generation after Branched compose failed because secondary arch sync didn't work. Kevin [fixed things so it should work in future](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/releng/pungi-fedora/commit/0d800bc4ce93368dd7caa0ce5ac4e605dec6006f), I [added a mitigation to critpath.py](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/releng/tooling/pulls/13020) * Mirrormanager config update didn't quite go right so fedora-44 was pointing to Rawhide, caused lots of tests to fail. I fixed it, [sent a suggestion to improve the SOP](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/docs/pulls/489#issuecomment-376462) * Need to add "add new release to the %workarounds hash" to the openQA SOP: [sent a PR](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/docs/pulls/490) * Weird problem with [tuned-ppd on F44](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2437484) showed up * Repo issues: [fedora-updates-archive wasn't created for F44](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/13125), fedora-openh264 was 404 for Rawhide for a while (both break rpm-ostree tests)

This is more or less all cleaned up now, I think.

Turned the SOP PR into pretty much a full rewrite with more details and much more concrete step-by-step instructions, now we're refining the process.

Backlog Status
Needs Review
Work items that have been created or updated but need review, refinement, or approval before they can be considered ready for sprint planning.

  
Backlog Status
Ready
Work items that have been reviewed, refined, and are ready to be committed to a sprint. These items have clear requirements and can be worked on immediately when capacity is available.

  
chore

Work that needs to be done but doesn't add new functionality or fix bugs. Maintenance tasks that keep the system running smoothly and the codebase clean.

  
documentation

Work focused on creating, updating, or improving documentation for users, developers, or system administrators.

  
points
01
A task that is simple, small, and has very little uncertainty. It should be easy enough for any team member to pick up and complete quickly, without a lot of discussion or research.

  
points
02
This is a task that is slightly more complex or larger than a "1." It might involve two or three simple steps, but the outcome is still very clear and there's little uncertainty.

  
points
03
Medium-sized task with some noticeable complexity. It might require a bit more thought or collaboration. The steps are well-defined, but it's not a trivial change.

  
points
05
A significant piece of work. It has more complexity and a higher degree of uncertainty than smaller tasks. It might require some research, a design discussion, or collaboration across multiple teams.

  
points
08
Complex task with a lot of uncertainty. It's often the largest size that a team will consider for a single sprint. It likely requires a detailed breakdown and multiple team members to complete.

  
points
13
Any task that feels like it's a "13" or more is considered an Epic. These are too large and uncertain to be worked on in a single sprint and should be broken down.

  
Priority
Critical
This is for work that is urgent and of critical importance and so and must be addressed immediately with a higher priority than all other work, even if not originally planned for the current sprint.

  
Priority
High
This is for work that is critical and needs to be addressed in the next sprint. It's often for urgent bugs, important features, or a major piece of technical debt that is blocking other work.

  
Priority
Low
This is for work that is good to do but not urgent. It's a candidate for being worked on when there's extra time or when it rises in importance. It can stay in the backlog for a longer period.

  
Priority
Medium
This is for important work that should be done soon, but isn't as urgent as a high-priority item. It will likely be considered for the next 1-2 sprints.

  
Sprint Status
Blocked
Work items that cannot progress due to external dependencies, blockers, or issues that need resolution.

  
Sprint Status
Done
Work items that have been completed, reviewed, and integrated. No further work is needed within the current sprint.

  
Sprint Status
In Progress
Work items currently being worked on by a team member. Active development, research, or implementation is happening.

  
Sprint Status
Review
Work items that are complete but need review, testing, or approval before being marked as done.

  
Sprint Status
To Do
Work items that are committed to the sprint but haven't been started yet. These items are ready to be picked up by team members.

  
Technical Debt

Work that addresses shortcuts, workarounds, or suboptimal implementations that were done previously to meet deadlines. These items improve code quality, maintainability, or performance without adding new features.

  
Work Item
Bug
Issues where the system is not working as intended or designed. Bugs represent deviations from expected behavior.

  
Work Item
Epic
Large initiatives that are broken down into multiple smaller work items (user stories, tasks, bugs). Epics represent significant features or projects that span multiple sprints.

  
Work Item
Spike
Time-boxed research, investigation, or proof-of-concept work to reduce uncertainty or explore solutions. Spikes help inform future development decisions.

  
Work Item
Task
Used to break down larger user stories into smaller, manageable implementation pieces. They focus on the specific technical steps needed to deliver the user story's value.

  
Work Item
User Story
User-facing features or functionality that can be framed from a user perspective, describing what someone wants to accomplish and why.
