There's no reason for anyone to paste in that much low-level boilerplate." 17:08:15 I agree 1000 % with tibbs 17:08:58 yeh 17:09:21 I'm somewhat surprised that wasn't already a macro 17:09:31 is there anything to discuss? other than the obvious "who shall do this?) 17:10:02 Right. 17:11:10 I guess if anyone has different recommendations than tibbs … speak up now 17:12:55 #info Tibbs recommendations seem good 17:13:05 #action Someone really needs to move that code into a macro. 17:14:11 #topic #719 Simplify packaging of forge-hosted projects 17:14:13 .fpc 719 17:14:15 geppetto: Issue #719: Simplify packaging of forge-hosted projects - packaging-committee - Pagure.io - https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/719 17:14:57 has this been merged yet? 17:15:05 or was tibbs working on that? 17:15:06 So this ticket hasn't been updated since we last talked about it … do we need to keep it on the meeting tag? 17:15:32 I don't think we do 17:15:43 Ok 17:16:27 I've moved it now. 17:16:37 #topic #845 Wiki deprecation status 17:16:40 .fpc 845 17:16:42 geppetto: Issue #845: Wiki deprecation status - packaging-committee - Pagure.io - https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/845 17:17:06 I think this is the status update ticket for tibbs 17:17:14 and nothing needs to directly be talked about 17:17:35 * decathorpe shrugs 17:17:37 I think so 17:17:45 for the record, I've added a link to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Versioning (there was none) but i wasn't able to checkt the enitire page, so there is no redirect yet 17:18:15 ok 17:20:11 Sorry guys, I got pulled into a thing. 17:21:31 Yes, it seems that I didn't quite finish adding links to all of the old guideline pages. I was working alphabetically and I guess I never managed to get to the ones at the end. 17:21:50 #chair tibbs 17:21:50 Current chairs: decathorpe geppetto ignatenkobrain limburgher mhroncok redi tibbs 17:22:03 Ok, do you know which ones are missing? 17:23:18 around M 17:23:19 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Packaging_guidelines 17:25:44 #action Everybody please add links to new docs to guidelines lacking them 17:25:50 Damn, I thought I had done more than that. 17:26:08 BTW, if you look at one of the pages that's been done, you'll see I created a template for adding the redirect. 17:26:26 {{OldGuidelinePage|Conflicts}} 17:27:04 {{OldGuidelinePage|XXX}} adds the notice block and links to https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/XXX/ 17:27:16 So all you have to do is stick that at the top. 17:27:32 Sadly I know I will have no time at all today to work on this. About to go out of town for a couple of days. 17:27:39 ok 17:28:14 #topic Open Floor 17:28:23 Anything else anyone wants to talk about? 17:28:47 I'm sorry I'm not more available today. 17:29:26 I did want to point out that after some discussion on the packaging list about arch-conditional source files I realized that I had accidentally nuked a section from the guidelines back in April. 17:30:00 I put back a slightly expanded version in https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/c/4260dba2d83f04eba850b1055f4219b3d76e4955?branch=master 17:30:04 yeah, I followed the discussion. weird that basic sanity like this needs to be codified, though ... 17:30:57 Well, the fallout (patches or sources might be entirely missing from the SRPM) isn't really obvious if you don't know all that much about how RPM processes the tags. 17:31:39 But if there's any issue with that commit, I can revert it and go through the regular modification process. 17:31:52 Also I just realized there's a typo in there. I'll fix that now. 17:32:51 looks fine to me 17:33:01 ok 17:33:20 Unless speaks up again I'll close in a couple of minutes. 17:33:43 Thanks for coming, and if you have any free time feel free to do the guidelines thing above. 17:34:33 geppetto++ 17:34:40 thanks, bye 17:35:01 #endmeeting
