16:02:56 <smooge> #topic EPEL-6 status
16:03:04 <smooge> Ok we have lots of packages in the beta
16:03:35 <smooge> I expect we will see another beta soon. not sure of how it will be 'presented'
16:03:47 <nirik> yeah, packages are building along.
16:04:08 <smooge> we also have a lot of packages that have been readied but not built yet.
16:04:21 <smooge> I am not a proven packager so I can't start them myself
16:04:28 <tremble> I knings hope it'll be another ISO, I can't install off the existing one.
16:04:29 <smooge> I am hoping to earn that in the coming year
16:04:44 <nirik> well, I think it's best to let maintainers do so...
16:04:59 <nirik> perhaps we could generate a list of 'not yet built' and spam maintainers about them.
16:05:20 * tremble started building his packages this afternoon :)
16:05:32 <smooge> some maintainers even after 'seeing' posts aren't aware of this and are expecting that it was done already
16:05:48 <smooge> nirik, I believe that would be a good goal.
16:05:56 <nirik> I suppose I could try and do so...
16:06:06 * nirik is leary of overcommiting his time these days. ;)
16:06:38 <jokajak> as a maintainer i don't think i'd want to be spammed to build my packages, maybe a wiki page that we send an email about to the epel list?
16:07:12 <nirik> jokajak: well, by spam I mean an email explaining the branch is there, it's up to you to build it or mark it dead if you don't want it in EL-6, etc...
16:07:19 <nirik> more informational than bugging.
16:07:21 <jokajak> ah, ok, thanks :)
16:07:30 <smooge> nirik, no don't over-commit
16:08:02 <smooge> nirik, I think it would be best to post asking for a volunteer on infrastructure or something
16:08:02 <nirik> jokajak: so as a epel maintainer, why haven't you built your packages yet? (out of curiosity)
16:08:14 <nirik> smooge: we could do that.
16:08:38 <jokajak> nirik: i think most of mine have been built :)
16:09:02 <jokajak> i just hadn't gotten around to it
16:09:24 <nirik> ok, cool.
16:09:36 <nirik> I think some people just don't know the branch is there waiting for them.
16:10:35 <smooge> I am expecting that is the case.
16:10:55 <tremble> I've just been busy/away
16:11:28 <smooge> Ok what other EL-6 things should we cover?
16:11:48 <nirik> so do we know there is going to be a beta2?
16:12:18 <tremble> Don't think RH have said anything yet, but I believe they did multiple beta releases for 5...
16:13:06 <nirik> ok, just wondering.
16:14:26 <smooge> I thought there was something in the mails about a second beta. I believe there will be one, but the access to it I do not know (they may go for RHN only or somesuch thing).
16:14:44 <smooge> Or they may send it out over IP over Pigeon for all I know
16:15:17 <smooge> Do we have any EL-5/EL-4 issues to go over?
16:15:48 * nirik doesn't know of any off hand.
16:17:52 <smooge> ok well then I think we can call this at 10:20
16:17:55 <smooge> or earlier
16:18:24 <smooge> thank you all for coming.
16:18:29 <smooge> and thanks for support EPEL.
