I think it is very handwavey what is needed 16:13:04 <mboddu> As I understand it, it will help us move away from grobisplitter and achieve rpm building using modules 16:14:19 <smooge> i guess so. I haven't done much with it 16:14:21 <mboddu> smooge: Okay, because of my understanding ^ (related to grobisplitter), I pinged you as well 16:14:28 <mboddu> Okay 16:14:34 <smooge> this was my first hearing of it 16:15:28 <nirik> we do not use ursa major in epel8 either... but yeah, I am not sure what needs to be done, we need to talk more about it 16:18:27 <mboddu> Right 16:20:32 <mboddu> Now I think about it, how is it different from ursa major? 16:21:36 <nirik> ursa major is a script that only acts on koji... it finds the modules that should be in the buildroot and tags them into it... also injecting a package of conflicts/adjustments so everything is working right 16:22:13 <nirik> epel8 takes the rhel repos, runs gobisplitter on them, puts them back in one non modular flat repo and makes that an external repo for koji to use as the buildroot. 16:22:15 <sgallagh> Sorry, missed the ping above 16:22:55 <sgallagh> nirik: If that's true, it's going to break eventually. They need to have the modular metadata in the repo. 16:23:06 * sgallagh thought he added that feature to grobisplitter... was that a fever-dream? 16:23:14 <nirik> we tried that and it failed I thought? 16:23:49 <sgallagh> I don't remember now. 16:25:10 <sgallagh> https://github.com/fedora-modularity/GrobiSplitter/pull/4 16:25:18 <sgallagh> Yeah, that has been there for a while. 16:25:45 <nirik> but are we using it? ;) 16:25:47 <nirik> smooge: ^ 16:26:27 <smooge> no. i have not added the flag 16:27:01 <sgallagh> What flag? 16:27:14 <sgallagh> The code isn’t condition so far as I’m aware. 16:27:34 <smooge> sorry I need to context switch here from anotehr fire 16:27:42 <smooge> give me a minute to look at what I have 16:27:58 <sgallagh> Or do you mean that recreating the combined repo drops the metadata too? 16:28:30 <smooge> well it does but I am not seeing it being generated 16:28:49 <sgallagh> Too many pronouns, please rephrase. 16:29:12 <smooge> if I understood what I was writing in the first place I wouldn't have used pronouns 16:29:33 <sgallagh> ... 16:29:50 <smooge> grobisplitter was updated to the latest version. It runs and splits out packages to different repositories in one tree 16:30:15 <smooge> looking in those what I am seeing is just the package there.. no metadata. So I assumed I needed to add a flag 16:30:19 <sgallagh> Each of those individual repos should be carrying the associated metadata. 16:30:35 <sgallagh> Argh 16:31:26 * sgallagh rechecks the patch 16:31:28 <smooge> after each of those small repos are done, we have to do a reposync --latest from that data to a final repo because koji gets confused at times 16:32:00 <smooge> and only wants 1 version of glibc etc while the grobisplitter would have older versions 16:32:17 <sgallagh> No, the patch definitely calls the right modifyrepo command. 16:32:21 <smooge> so let us deal with this outside of the meeting 16:32:25 <sgallagh> Okay 16:33:02 <smooge> because I am not sure what this has to do with ursa-prime which I thought replaced grobisplitter 16:33:40 <mboddu> sgallagh: Doesn't ursa-prime replace grobisplitter? 16:34:21 <sgallagh> It should, yes 16:34:33 <nirik> I'm not sure how it will. 16:35:01 <nirik> fedora: a cron job runs that does a pungi compose using koji/modules to make a modular repo 16:35:21 <nirik> epel8: we have no access to brew, so we... just use appstream and crb directly? 16:35:29 <sgallagh> oh right. We still have the split koji problem 16:35:50 <sgallagh> Sorry, I’m a little slow today 16:36:08 <nirik> naw, this stuff is all confusing... at least I have to try and remember things every time. ;( 16:36:13 <mboddu> Ah right, I forgot about that as well, and I am also slow today :( 16:36:33 <nirik> I think we did try and use the repos directly at first but that fails for some reason which I cannot now recall. 16:36:59 <smooge> it pulled in the wrong things 16:37:21 <sgallagh> Define “wrong things”? 16:37:22 <smooge> things like perl-generators from the 5.24 would get pulled in for some of the 5.26 items 16:37:41 <sgallagh> Was it a matter of the module metadata not being respected? 16:38:10 <smooge> sgallagh, other times it was ursine packages not getting pulled in even though they were there 16:38:56 <sgallagh> That doesn’t seem explicable 16:40:04 <smooge> that was the point where i was seeing the packages listed in filters in modulemd and thought that was causing it.. and we did a 'no that is used for something else.. does this other thing make it work.. ok use that' 16:41:10 <smooge> i can go through 3 month old irc logs to see what it was.. but at the time we had a 'get it out by friday' going 16:42:22 <smooge> anyway.. where are we in this meeting since I think I derailed it 16:45:02 <mboddu> Well, you didn't derail, I wanted to bring it up 16:45:32 <mboddu> So, my next question is, do we still need to add ursa-prime to epel8? 16:45:52 <sgallagh> mboddu: I think it may require some re-investigation. 16:46:11 <sgallagh> I need to understand why just using RHEL 8 BaseOS/AppStream/CRB as external repos doesn't work 16:46:27 <mboddu> Sure sgallagh 16:46:45 <mboddu> We can setup sometime and figure it out in stg 16:46:51 <mboddu> smooge: ^ wdyt? 16:47:12 <sgallagh> mboddu: Is Friday possible? I'm out tomorrow 16:47:25 <smooge> sgallagh, I was asked to set it up as one repository like it was done for all the other releases. 16:47:25 <mboddu> sgallagh: Sure, that works for me 16:48:03 <sgallagh> smooge: Who set that constraint? 16:48:09 <sgallagh> Because that... seems problematical. 16:48:58 <sgallagh> At the least, it wouldn't have worked with mergerepo_c prior to 0.13.0 IIRC 16:49:34 <smooge> It was over 4 months ago.. I just remember it was what was asked to make it as easy to debug as possible 16:50:16 <sgallagh> smooge: Before or after May 3rd? 16:50:36 <smooge> since I didn't get to actually being able to touch koji until late July 16:50:41 <smooge> I would say afterword 16:50:46 <sgallagh> hmm 16:51:30 <sgallagh> Oh, crud. RHEL 8 still has 0.11.x 16:51:32 * sgallagh facepalms 16:51:43 <smooge> I remember we were waiting for mergerepo_c updates in June and then some other items 16:52:05 <smooge> we also wanted it work on RHEL-7 16:53:58 <sgallagh> OK, looks like we need to re-examine this outside the meeting. 16:54:10 <sgallagh> I think there are things we can do to make this markedly less awful. 16:54:55 <nirik> I cannot seem to find where I tested that. ;( I know I did tho. 16:55:58 <mboddu> #info We need to re-investigate why we setup epel8 in the current way and will look into this later 16:56:08 <mboddu> With 5 min left 16:56:12 <mboddu> #topic Open Floor 16:56:27 <mboddu> #info F31 Final Freeze started yesterday, Oct 8th 2019 16:56:43 <mboddu> I am doing the manual pushes while we are in freeze 16:56:46 <mboddu> Anything else? 16:57:00 <nirik> mboddu: you want me to do the f30updates-testing? or leave them all to you/ 16:57:01 <nirik> ? 16:57:10 <smooge> nirik, you tested it in early august before FLOCK. You had wanted to see if various flag settings in koji alone would build things. People started having problems with glibc and some other packages not installable in the buildroot 16:57:24 <mboddu> nirik: You mean f31-u-t? I can take care of it as well 16:57:56 <nirik> mboddu: cool. 16:58:04 <nirik> smooge: sounds likely. 16:58:28 <nirik> mboddu: one final thing... we were going to try and work on one backlog item last week? I think we didn;t? can we try again this coming week? 16:59:16 <mboddu> nirik: Yes, we could 16:59:34 <nirik> perhaps schedule a window in advance to work on it, so we don't forget. :) 16:59:39 <mboddu> nirik: Also, do you why this happened - https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8878 ? 16:59:41 <mboddu> nirik: Sure 17:00:47 <nirik> not sure. I can look. 17:01:22 <nirik> it looks latest to me... 17:01:32 <mboddu> nirik: Yes, but: 17:01:48 <mboddu> koji list-tagged f32-build glibc32 17:01:48 <mboddu> Build Tag Built by 17:01:48 <mboddu> ---------------------------------------- -------------------- ---------------- 17:01:48 <mboddu> glibc32-2.20-7.3.fc28.7 f32-build releng 17:02:08 <nirik> that should get untagged... 17:02:24 <nirik> I thought we moved away from special tagging for it 17:02:33 <mboddu> Even though glibc32-2.30-6.1.fc32 is tagged into f32 17:02:46 <mboddu> Ahh, might be a left over? 17:02:57 <mboddu> I will untag it from f32-build 17:03:20 <nirik> and any other glibc32s in there 17:03:28 <mboddu> Nope, thats the only one 17:03:55 <nirik> cool, that should fix it I would think 17:04:21 <mboddu> nirik: I untagged it and rerunning the repo-regen 17:04:32 <mboddu> Anyway, thats all I would think 17:04:36 <mboddu> Thanks everyone for joining 17:04:40 <mboddu> #endmeeting
