I have heard different thoughts about it, does anyone know if there is any decision made on it? 17:23:29 <mboddu> nirik, tyll : ^ ? 17:23:41 <mboddu> Kellin: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/6832 17:24:11 <nirik> well, modular server is a f27 change... but I don't know the status off hand 17:24:58 <tyll> afaik it is unlcear how to upgrade from F26 server so a regular F27 server might be needed for now to provide some kind of upgrade path 17:26:32 <nirik> so both might make sense indeed 17:26:38 <mboddu> nirik, tyll : Okay, but we are about to start beta composes, when can be a decision is made? I am assuming its FESCo related decision and hence asking you guys in particular. 17:27:56 <nirik> well, IMHO it's both, but it also depends on if the module version is ready or not... I have not talked to them specifically about that 17:29:43 <mboddu> nirik: Okay, I was in an assumption its going to be both but I heard it might be only modular, so I thought of bringing it up here and see what is needed to make it work. 17:30:19 <nirik> threebean: you around ? ^ 17:33:13 <tyll> after thinking more about it, I am not sure if we actually need a traditional compose to allow an upgrade path because AFAIU the compose is only needed for new install media 17:33:36 <threebean> yes, reading up. 17:34:24 <tyll> but maybe I am missing something... The change proposal sounds like the modular compose is going to replace the traditional compose: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Modular_Server#Scope 17:34:45 <threebean> yeah - that was my understanding of the intent too. the key person to weigh in would be sgallagh from the server WG. 17:35:51 <sgallagh> My understanding is that the Everything tree would handle upgrades and that we intend only to ship modular install media 17:36:17 <Kellin> is it relevant to ask here if we have a clear upgrade path to do a dnf system-upgrade on fedora-server 26->modular27? 17:36:24 <sgallagh> Where "ship" is orthogonal to "produce" in the case that the tooling has issues with that. 17:36:31 <threebean> see also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Modular_Server#Upgrade.2Fcompatibility_impact 17:36:51 <sgallagh> Kellin: short answer: no there is no upgrade path for F27. We may implement one for F28 17:37:43 <nirik> sgallagh / threebean do you know if modular composes are producing images yet? and is the plan to merge those into regular composes now? 17:37:55 <threebean> they are not producing images yet, but we're trying. 17:38:03 <threebean> the latest one failed in buildinstall due to missing fedora-logos. 17:38:17 <threebean> contyk suggests there will be further problems after that's included, but they're working on it. 17:39:39 <nirik> ok, cool 17:39:55 <mboddu> threebean : I guess from releng perspective its just a compose(probably need to think about mirroring and other stuff) but as a whole, are we ready for it? Like, are all the tools are updated for it? 17:40:03 * sgallagh goes back to resting (he's out sick today) 17:40:10 <threebean> sgallagh++ feel better. 17:40:15 <zodbot> threebean: Karma for sgallagh changed to 9 (for the f26 release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 17:40:21 <sgallagh> Thanks 17:40:57 <tyll> sgallagh: get well soon 17:41:12 <threebean> mboddu: more or less, yes. the compose is less difficult from a releng/tools point of view. we worked out most of the kinks in f26. 17:41:32 <mboddu> sgallagh: get well soon 17:41:39 <threebean> bodhi+modules is the new fish this time around. (targetting release shortly after we get out of beta freeze) 17:42:12 <mboddu> nirik: ^ what releng pieces are effected by it? I can think of composes, mirroring, torrents - am I missing anything else? 17:42:53 <nirik> websites (if the images are in a different path/named differently) 17:42:56 <threebean> we pub it in /alt last time around. I guess we need to decide where in the pub tree the f27 modular server should go once it actually builds. 17:43:03 <threebean> s/pub it/put it/ 17:43:04 <mboddu> threebean: okay, so whats going to be for Beta - is it modular or normal? 17:43:50 <threebean> for Server? the goal as stated in the Change is modular, right? It depends on if we can get these images built. 17:43:50 <mboddu> threebean: yes, thats what mirroring thing I was talking about 17:46:02 <mboddu> threebean: okay, if we a get a successful modular server compose then thats what is for Beta, got it 17:46:03 <threebean> looking down at the contingency plan in the Change.., there's a note about building and shipping the traditional Server if the modular one fails. 17:46:10 * threebean nods 17:46:24 <threebean> yeah - it will hinge on whether or not the modular compose can come together or not. 17:48:50 <mboddu> threebean: Okay, as per the policy we wont do a release until all the release blocking bits are cleared. And the Change says its a release blocking, based on where we are right now, I think its better to have a cut off date by which there should be a successful compose and tested, if we wont get it done by that date then we can do the normal server release, does it sound okay? 17:49:10 * threebean nods 17:49:46 <threebean> yes. in that event, I imagine that the modular folks will still be working hard on a modular server on the side. 17:50:12 <mboddu> threebean: sure, and we can do just another modular release as we did for F26 17:50:24 <threebean> yeah :) 17:51:05 <mboddu> nirik, tyll, threebean : ^^ not sure who decides on it, but if its FESCo then I am happy to create a ticket. 17:52:44 <threebean> iirc, it's on the fesco agenda for tomorrow. 17:53:00 <threebean> https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1760 17:53:04 <nirik> I guess so. It's a bit off from our normal process, but we can see what people say. 17:53:53 <mboddu> threebean: thats good, one less ticket for me to create ;) 17:57:03 <mboddu> #info There is a debate about Fedora Server compose - whether its going to be Modular or traditional compose. FESCo will make a decision on it(probably tomorrow). We need to make changes to pungi composes, mirroring, torrents and websites if its modular based. 17:57:48 <mboddu> There is not enough time for my other topic, but its about flatpaks support in Fedora 17:58:32 <mboddu> #info Flatpak support is coming to fedora and we need to start looking at what needs to be changed/updated to support them. https://pagure.io/releng/issue/6998 17:58:47 <mboddu> Anybody got anything else for quick updates? 18:00:20 <mboddu> Okay, thats it then 18:00:25 <mboddu> Thanks guys for joining 18:00:29 <mboddu> #endmeeting
