Needs rebase on some of them 16:14:11 Thanks for your contributions, just have a little patience as we go through them 16:14:48 Yeah, and at least one of them has been superceeded 16:15:38 I'll try to get anything small in quick and then we can see about any ones with issues 16:16:15 Sounds like your best plan of attack 16:17:52 #topic Open Floor 16:18:03 Anyone have anything else they want to bring up this week? 16:18:41 I have something - I have a PR for a new module, voss_config. I'm getting CI failures due to unrelated upstream things 16:18:58 Is there any easy way to just re-run failed jobs, or do I need to trigger all CI checks again? 16:19:11 (PR is https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/47533) 16:20:52 lindsayhill_: I don't think so. Because devel moves pretty quickly, we prefer to have a full run before a merge anyway, though a lot of things in shippable shouldn't have any interaction with network PRs 16:21:28 At least I'm not missing an obvious "click here to re-run failed CI jobs" button. 16:22:10 I want to tweak some of the docs wording in my PR, so I'll do that today, and fingers crossed the upstream CI issues don't come back 16:23:06 And FWIW, I deal with similar things with some other projects I work on. Very frustrating when failure is upstream, not due to changes 16:24:14 lindsayhill_: +1 I know the intermittent issues can be frustrating, though in my experience they've gotten much better in the past year or two 16:24:52 Hopefully we can keep getting them better 16:25:25 Liberal use of `retry` and `sleep` :D 16:25:45 It's all good - hopefully will be sorted soon, and PR will be ready for review 16:26:58 Qalthos: I have one request, I would like to backward integrate the PRs 46623 and 46949 to 2.7.1 16:27:51 Anil_Lenovo: AFAIK it's too late for 2.7.1, but we can look at them for the next 2.7 release 16:28:06 I vaguely recall a while back someone said that Fortinet was planning on contributing more modules as the current ones are a bit...lacking. Do you guys know if they're still planning on doing so? 16:28:37 Qathos : Thats also fine. When will be 2.7.2 likely happen ? I will remind u by that that time 16:29:56 Anil_Lenovo: Best bet is to just open a backport PR and let the release manager merge it in when they're ready 16:30:27 Sure, I will doi that too 16:30:27 I really don't have any special power for backports (: 16:30:54 Thats Ok. I will raise a PR 16:31:29 lindsayhill_: You only have a rerun button on Shippable if you have commit. Work around is close/reopen PR 16:31:30 pffs: I've seen lots of Fortinet PRs come in over the past few weeks, though I don't know the current status of them 16:31:47 There is a known issue with one of the MySQL tests on py3 16:32:27 gundalow: makes sense, and sounds similar to CircleCI which I mostly use 16:33:15 Qalthos: good to know. It's probably our biggest vendor we support without any decent ansible integration right now 16:34:27 * gundalow -> afk 16:37:46 Anyone else? 16:39:55 Only other question that springs to mind is: any idea on when change freeze for 2.8 will kick in? 16:40:06 I know it's a bit far out yet to know with certainty 16:40:58 That should show up on https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/roadmap/ROADMAP_2_8.html when it's worked out 16:42:18 Which should be soon 16:44:04 As to when it will be, at a wild guess, probably not before January, given how December goes 16:44:20 glancing through the issues I have open, pretty sure https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/38067 can be closed now, right? 16:44:27 That was the locking issue when 2.5.0 came out 16:45:36 If that's fixed for you, I'm happy to close it 16:46:20 Qalthos: thanks - just trying to figure out what I should aim to get in 2.8, what will be 2.9 16:49:19 Qalthos: yeah, I think that specific issue got fixed, I'm still going to open an issue on general speed differences. Going to run a play that just does ios_facts against ~2000 devices locally and via bastion just for the time difference 16:50:07 pffs: +1 Having that should help a lot for tracking those issues 16:57:23 Alright, thanks everyone for coming 16:57:52 Thank You ! 16:58:00 #endmeeting
