We have one tagged issue in our issue tracker. 18:03:41 <jcajka> That being the deprecated GOPATH 18:04:02 <jcajka> #topic GOPATH deprecated on Go 1.17 https://pagure.io/GoSIG/go-sig/issue/35 18:04:50 <alexsaezm> right, I need to retake that now that we have time. Last time I checked, upstream didn't set a release for the removal of the GOPATH 18:05:43 <jcajka> that will allow more time for solution of it in Fedora 18:05:49 <eclipseo> I believe it was moved to 1.18 18:06:20 <eclipseo> however some big project like k8s don't seem to care about this atall 18:07:40 <alexsaezm> The only tracking issue that I'm aware of targets 1.18 but it only removes a part of the system: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/43684 18:07:57 <jcajka> I think they will react in release that will transition to go1.18, I will be surprised if they move off gopath sooner 18:09:07 <eclipseo> alexsaezm: did you have time to retake a look at nim's previous work 18:09:26 <alexsaezm> no, sorry, I was on a trip 18:10:12 <jcajka> still it seems that it might have nearly no impact on Fedora usage, but still I think sooner for us to move of Gopath the better, at least we can more gracefully transition to the new ways 18:12:24 <eclipseo> yes, the newpossibility regarding packaging are interesting, although it will be quite the workflow change if we follow nim initial macros. No more tests deps separated from normal deps, test not being bypassable from the commnd line either 18:13:41 <jcajka> yeah, I think we should strive to have these kept, but that means to have more tooling on our side or at least needed to be upstreamed in some way 18:14:52 <eclipseo> upstream is not really listening to our requests, they don't seem to care about downstream problems 18:15:22 <alexsaezm> eclipseo, why you say that? did I miss something? 18:15:28 <jcajka> if I haven't missed anything it looked more they don't listen to nim 18:16:14 <jcajka> but we will have to find some way or more precisely someone who will pick this work up 18:16:27 <eclipseo> forexample nim tried to ask them multiples times to have a way to differentiate between test import paths and normal import path, and it has fallenon deaf ears 18:18:22 <jcajka> I hope that is was more due to more confrontational style of nim than anything else 18:18:37 <eclipseo> idk 18:19:24 <alexsaezm> if that is necessary, we can try to move that again 18:19:39 <eclipseo> https://github.com/golang/go/issues/26955 18:21:26 <eclipseo> i hadn't see this message: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/29410#issuecomment-515203754 18:21:53 <alexsaezm> thanks for the link 18:23:31 <jcajka> eclipseo: interesting new notes, thanks :) 18:25:46 <eclipseo> alexsaezm: will you have more time to dedicate to this issue? 18:26:01 <alexsaezm> yes 18:26:06 <alexsaezm> for sure 18:26:28 <alexsaezm> last months weren't that good tbh but I have time for this 18:27:40 <eclipseo> great thanks 18:27:47 <jcajka> great :) 18:28:59 <jcajka> seems that we can move to the last topic 18:30:12 <eclipseo> ok 18:30:41 <jcajka> to the open floor 18:30:55 <jcajka> #topic Open Floor 18:31:53 <eclipseo> ok, so status report from me: i am taking care of my FTBFS, it's progressing slowly 18:32:25 <jcajka> eclipseo: nice, any significant issue, out liners? 18:32:38 <jcajka> I can take a look 18:33:35 <jcajka> that bring me to one that you might see, but it shouldn't happen in koji, due to older kernels there 18:33:57 <eclipseo> no major issue so far, just some juggling with libraries incompabilities as usual, since our policy is to package the latest version 18:34:14 <jcajka> good to hear that 18:34:28 <jcajka> there seems to be significant compiler bug on ppc64le, that might warrant partial rebuild for all releases of Fedora if there is no other way to fix it, workaround 18:34:43 <jcajka> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1987972 18:35:16 <jcajka> fixes for the compiler are in Fedora already, but if any package crashes it unfortunately needs to be rebuild 18:37:05 <eclipseo> ok i hadn't noticed that yet 18:39:20 <jcajka> ositive side is it is only ppc64le and it shouldn't show in koji as it is currently running 5.12, not blocking whole distribution yet 18:39:41 <jcajka> will work with alexsaezm and other hopefully solving it soon 18:40:29 <alexsaezm> sure :) 18:40:41 <jcajka> and that is all from myside 18:41:29 <eclipseo> me too 18:41:37 <alexsaezm> nothing from my side 18:42:27 <jcajka> I guess this will be shorter meeting :) 18:42:38 <jcajka> #endmeeting
