F25 alpha went out with Wayland as the default workstation session, iirc 14:09:51 if that is going to persist, we should have something substantial to say about wayland 14:10:23 oh yeah, and I hear there's no support for the proprietary nvidia driver 14:10:39 #link https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1615 14:11:14 also I totally forgot to close beats on the wiki as I promised last week :( 14:11:23 pbokoc, anecdotally, from the GDM wayland experiment, users are more likely to have issues with nvidia drivers via wayland 14:11:31 and I got the issues closed :) 14:11:39 or beats closed, rather 14:11:46 oh, nice 14:12:51 #chair pbokoc 14:12:51 Current chairs: pbokoc randomuser 14:13:02 * randomuser has a distraction to deal with 14:13:27 I'm opening some additional issues in the release-notes repo so we can track the wayland thing 14:14:04 btw it's strange that the wayland thing isn't a Change. Seems more important to me than ibus emoji typing... 14:15:19 ok, soooooo 14:15:34 write release notes, people! 14:17:14 I see grundblom commited some stuff in the last few days, good job 14:17:19 * zoglesby is here 14:17:35 we should probably do some cleaning up though 14:17:57 i'll branch off the 'clean' branch and pull in grundblom's commits 14:18:24 which one even is the clean one? master? that repo is a mess 14:19:49 origin/blank iirc 14:20:30 #action randomuser to branch release-notes git repo for F25 when building RPM 14:22:25 * randomuser has averted distraction 14:22:54 and yeah, i expected a Change thing for Wayland 14:24:00 anyway, we have 2 weeks, so let's do this. I'll try to get some help from people in the office but a lot of people are very busy right now 14:24:06 jkurik, Wayland by default seems like a system wide change thing, there's no change proposal on it for the wiki. 14:24:10 FYI 14:25:25 anything else for release notes? 14:25:41 about branches, I think the "blank" one is ancient, the last commit message says "Clean out F12 content to make way for F13" 14:25:48 bah 14:26:11 okay, that won't work, then 14:27:59 it also won't build because missing revnumber or something, I've never seen that message before. master should be usable if we get rid of the content that's currently in and only keep the structure - I think I cleaned that up before f24 or f23. 14:28:38 yeah, that's the thing I was thinking of 14:28:43 btw, is there a way to lock a branch in pagure? We should probably make one that's actually clean, lock it so almost nobody can commit to it directly, and then branch off of it every release 14:28:58 ... maybe 14:29:44 it'd most likely be outside the pagure UI, but i think we can drop in a merge hook like `if branch is locked, exit 1` 14:30:21 echo "Spank! Spank! Bad writer!" 14:31:02 heh 14:32:37 I think that's it for relnotes today 14:32:45 * randomuser nods 14:32:52 lost the agenda in tabs already :P 14:33:00 #topic specific doc status 14:33:17 pbokoc, cspicer1 - what's the status of the installation guide? 14:33:36 oh, actually, there's the default deliverable change 14:33:43 cspicer's out sick, he should be back on Thursday 14:33:52 we need to cover that for both the IG and release notes 14:34:10 you mean the media writer? 14:34:14 right 14:34:31 yeah, both relnotes and the IG have an issue open for that 14:34:41 any takers in the audience? 14:35:12 should be a really short section, the tool looks pretty simple from a user's perspective 14:35:43 plus it's supposed to work the same way on all platforms 14:35:48 easy 14:35:51 anyway I'll talk to cspicer about it once he gets back 14:35:57 cool 14:36:06 that plus installer release notes 14:36:47 what other specific doc stuff should we cover? 14:38:08 sounds like none 14:38:15 #topic Outstanding BZ Tickets 14:38:18 #info All Bugs - http://tinyurl.com/lbrq84 14:38:35 #info pagure issues exist too 14:40:36 #topic Open Floor Discussion 14:40:43 okay folks, what's on your mind? 14:41:40 I was thinking about reworking release notes. Right now we have this rigid structure that never really works, half the sections we have are stuff I've never seen used 14:42:02 * randomuser is intrigued 14:42:05 and at the same time, fedora has a bunch of special interest groups 14:42:24 so how about basing the structure on those 14:42:40 it would make sense to model the book after the community that way, yeah 14:42:48 we could send a mail to each group and ask them to tell us what they did for the next release, and we'd just compile that 14:43:01 indeed! we have needed a change since the workstation/server/cloud change anyway. 14:43:15 do we want to restructure it that way for this release? 14:43:25 I think it might be a wee bit late for that 14:43:30 2 weeks till beta 14:43:42 change freeze tomorrow for beta 14:44:12 also we'd need to sort of split the book into 2 parts - changes (those don't really map to SIGs) and SIGs themselves 14:44:30 well, many changes map to SIGs 14:44:42 or "changes + stuff that spans multiple groups" 14:44:47 even if we have a 'core' pseudosig 14:45:58 pbokoc, for now, open a pagure issue? 14:46:05 alright 14:48:09 Quiet here... anything else for today? 14:48:29 * jsmith has nothing else 14:48:31 I'm deliberately not touching on publishing stuff b/c I'm not caught up with the list thread 14:49:06 okay, calling it 14:49:10 thanks for coming 14:49:13 #endmeeting
