17:00:37 <jcajka> #chair eclipseo
17:00:37 <zodbot> Current chairs: eclipseo jcajka
17:01:47 <eclipseo> .hello2
17:01:50 <zodbot> eclipseo: eclipseo 'Robert-André Mauchin' <zebob.m@gmail.com>
17:07:04 <jcajka> let's wait a bit if others will show up, alex is out on PTO
17:07:48 <jcajka> there is nothing tagged in issues
17:07:55 <jcajka> #topic Open Floor
17:08:37 <eclipseo> jcajka: well since you're here, I wanted to ask about the mass-rebuild for the latest Golang? Have you started building in a side tag? If yes, have you encountering issues? I'm worried about failures due mismatched versions.
17:10:01 <jcajka> eclipseo: just wanted to write about it, I'm about to build go1.15beta 1 in rawhide for the mass re-build, there seem to be normal amount of FTBFS ~1%(less than 100)
17:11:03 <eclipseo> ok if you have a list to send me I can take a look, I have a lot of packages to update too but I don't find time to do them all.
17:11:08 <jcajka> non look as direct compiler issues, here is annotated list https://hackmd.io/@Qt-gfa57QfGTNBjNqj-FJQ/rysjKa61D/edit from local rebuild
17:12:20 <jcajka> out-liners(something that will need more investigation/work) are marked in TODO(more from the compiler perspective)
17:12:34 <eclipseo> i don't expect compiler but in 1.14 thex had changed an error message which broke several test which were greping for it
17:13:05 <jcajka> here are mostly vet issues and some changes to escaping
17:13:10 <eclipseo> what's this errro that pops up often conversion from int to string yields a string of one rune
17:14:59 <jcajka> conversion doesn't yield string representation of the number(possible code issue in the package), more in https://github.com/golang/go/issues/32479
17:15:56 <eclipseo> yeah I'm reading it
17:17:26 <eclipseo> the problem is that many packages are "abandoned" and won't be updated :|
17:19:56 <jcajka> eclipseo: it is possible that some are lingering bugs, it is unfortunate that there seems to be kind of lot of abandoned packages, hopefully it will not hit anything important for us
17:20:50 <jcajka> I can't really think about anything that can be easily done, hopefully the macros/packaging doesn't make patching too hard(I haven't yet work much with that aspect of current Go macros)
17:22:25 <jcajka> hm... actually there might be vet flag that will suppress the check
17:22:35 <jcajka> in dire situations
17:23:04 <jcajka> but IMO it should be easier and better to fix the code even via patch
17:23:12 <eclipseo> all right
17:26:51 <jcajka> for the record IIRC most(I dare to say nearly all) is vet run as part of the tests/check
17:28:36 <eclipseo> ok in the worse case I'll disable it
17:29:48 <jcajka> ok
17:29:51 <nim> .hello2
17:29:52 <zodbot> nim: nim 'None' <nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net>
17:29:59 <jcajka> also, there has been 2 point releases per upstream supported version of Go last week, all Fedora version have updates queued in bodhi now
17:30:20 <jcajka> https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-9cd1204ba0

17:30:31 <jcajka> #chair nim
17:30:31 <zodbot> Current chairs: eclipseo jcajka nim
17:31:09 <jcajka> that is all from myside
17:31:13 <eclipseo> me too
17:31:47 <nim> nothing much on my side, stuck in the change process
17:32:13 <nim> people want to review things but they have difficulty finding the time to
17:32:59 <jcajka> that is unfortunate
17:33:01 <eclipseo> yeah I have some Golang packages review stuck too, not enough people taking care of the review process
17:33:55 <nim> the problem is when people feel they need to review and approve things, but do not care enough to actually review things
17:34:17 <nim> so, we’ll see how it runs out
17:35:14 <jcajka> other topics?
17:35:33 <jcajka> or is there something that SIG can help with?
17:36:55 <nim> nothing the SIG can do unless you want to argue with people that if they want to review things they should do so, and if they do not have time to review they should let people interested enough to review decide
17:37:28 <eclipseo> No that's all for me
17:37:37 <nim> unfortunately we all like the power to decide more than the cost of deciding
17:37:48 <jcajka> ack, I'm personally also spread really thin atm
17:38:00 <nim> that’s normal human behaviour
17:38:38 <jcajka> last call
17:39:04 <eclipseo> well I'm not spreaded thin right now,  it's pretty calm due to the summer, I'll ask maybe a review process exemption so I can work alone on package upgrades
17:39:38 <nim> eclipseo just don’t burn out early :)
17:39:57 <eclipseo> i'm fire right now
17:40:07 <eclipseo> anyway that'ss all for me
17:40:09 <jcajka> :)
