Speak now if that doesn't work for you 18:31:11 alright 18:31:38 #decision No Frozen Rawhide meeting to be held Thursday the 19th at 2000UTC on Fedora Talk 18:31:47 or is that agreed? 18:31:54 agreed 18:31:54 #agreed No Frozen Rawhide meeting to be held Thursday the 19th at 2000UTC on Fedora Talk 18:32:22 I was told we need to be better about giving the bot hints as our meeting summaries are a bit terse 18:33:11 poelcat: I think we could use that meeting to also talk about any schedule impacts so you might want to be there 18:33:11 12:05 < zodbot> Useful Commands: #action #agreed #halp #info #idea #link #topic. 18:34:47 Oxf13: glad to help/join 18:35:36 alright, so we've had our first major F13 booboo 18:35:45 We made ppc a secondary arch, but forgot to tell mash about it. 18:35:55 #info mash configs were still trying to compose ppc, and failing badly 18:36:12 This caused lots of broken deps emails, and rawhide reports that were too big for email 18:36:19 israwhidebroken is broken also 18:36:35 since we have no images and no ppc 18:36:49 yep, i'll fix up rawhide mash today 18:37:09 well 18:37:09 but thats not us so much 18:37:09 we have images 18:37:09 but not ppc 18:37:09 that's the second booboo 18:37:14 i thoght we switched images off 18:37:14 we have images, when we were supposed to turn those off 18:37:26 Oxf13: did we just not move the tag in releng/scripts? 18:37:28 #info install image creation was not actually shut off 18:37:28 or did my fix fail? 18:37:42 notting: well the tag wasn't moved, it remains to be seen if your changes actually worked 18:38:04 #action notting to fix mash today to stop trying to mash ppc 18:38:25 #info Oxf13 already fixed image creation not being turned off 18:40:06 I think those are the only known releng efups for F13 so far 18:40:21 oh hm. so I guess we can stop tracking ppc in israwhidebroken 18:40:35 wwoods: you'll also want to stop tracking if it installs or not 18:40:39 wwoods: for now 18:40:43 since rawhide is just a repo of packages 18:40:54 Oxf13: that test is triggered by installer images being updated 18:40:59 wwoods: at some point id like it to look at secondary arches 18:41:03 I guess we'll need some "is pending release tree broken?" app 18:41:05 so if the images don't change then the tests don't run. 18:41:13 or have a secondary arch instance 18:41:24 wwoods: and you get a big red box somewhere right? 18:41:28 dgilmore: shouldn't be too hard to set up 18:41:47 Oxf13: no. why would it? nothing says we *need* rawhide to be created daily. 18:41:56 we just *expect* it. 18:42:30 wwoods: ah, ok. I made a bad assumption 18:42:46 #action wwoods will stop israwhidebroken from caring about ppc(64) 18:43:19 anything else pressing with Fedora 13? 18:43:49 overall schedule discussion? 18:44:11 * stickster not sure if it meets the definition of "pressing" 18:44:35 ah, AFAICT if we don't get ppc results, we won't display ppc in the table. And if no PPC images/trees are created, we won't run tests 18:44:47 wwoods: that's what I've observed too 18:45:02 and there won't be any results. so.. we're already set for PPC to drop to secondary. that was clever, I guess? 18:45:25 * poelcat appologizes for nick changes 18:45:39 was trying to do a lookup and didn't think nickserv would let me do that :-/ 18:47:07 yeah, we definitely need to work on the F13 schedule. 18:47:26 #action oxf13 to review proposed schedule and comment on list 18:49:37 #topic Open Floor 18:49:51 Anything else anybody wants to get off their chest? 18:50:11 * dgilmore has nothing 18:51:01 is there a mail thread / wiki page that someone can link me to so I can read some details of the No Frozen Rawhide proposal? 18:51:18 mostly I want to make sure autoqa will handle proposed changes to how/when installer images get built. 18:52:03 #1 google hit for 'no frozen rawhide': https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/No_Frozen_Rawhide_Proposal 18:52:35 aaaand now it's in the meeting log as the authoritative reference. 18:52:52 yep 18:52:52 thanks. 18:54:24 anything else, or should the meeting be over? 18:55:31 I haven't seen anything else, so... 18:55:35 #endmeeting
