21:03:17 <bstinson> friday!

21:05:09 <pgreco> #topic Old Business
21:05:25 <pgreco> carlwgeorge: anything on epel8-next?
21:05:57 <carlwgeorge> it's getting some rhel bu attention fwiw
21:06:17 <pgreco> good or bad?
21:06:17 <carlwgeorge> haven't started that work yet, i need to schedule time with nirik and mboddu to do that
21:06:26 <carlwgeorge> mixed
21:07:37 <pgreco> the usual, ok
21:08:00 <pgreco> we'll see next week when tdawson takes over again :)
21:08:34 <pgreco> ok, not many people for the other old_business
21:08:54 <pgreco> so
21:08:54 <pgreco> #info EPEL-6 is End of Life in 2020-11. It will be moved to archives in 2020-12
21:08:54 <pgreco> #info THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
21:09:16 <pgreco> that may be the best thing of 2020 ;)
21:09:57 <pgreco> anything  for epel6?
21:10:04 <carlwgeorge> only because the real best thing doesn't become official until january
21:10:19 * carlwgeorge knocks on wood
21:10:34 <pgreco> closer, but not there yet
21:11:08 <carlwgeorge> rip epel6
21:11:57 <pgreco> #topic EPEL-7
21:12:37 <carlwgeorge> are we still doing snapshots of epel at point release time?  since 7.9 and 8.3 just happened.
21:13:11 <pgreco> I think smooge said something about that happening (somewhere)
21:13:42 <pgreco> oh, he already did both
21:13:45 <pgreco> https://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/epel/
21:14:11 <carlwgeorge> sweet
21:14:46 <pgreco> #topic EPEL-8
21:15:21 <pgreco> carlwgeorge: you can think of the topic change as a question directed to you ;) I don't have anything for today
21:16:48 <carlwgeorge> i already said my piece on epel8-next, so i'm good
21:16:52 <pgreco> #topic General Issues / Open Floor
21:17:00 <carlwgeorge> i am curious what the status of playground is
21:17:33 <pgreco> michel_slm and I were supposed to work on fedpkg, I know I didn't :(
21:17:48 <pgreco> I think that was the last missing piece
21:18:31 * nirik arrives late, reads up
21:19:14 <nirik> yeah, fedpkg is still requesting both branches...
21:20:08 <carlwgeorge> yeah i've gotten in the habit of immediately closing the playground request issue when i don't want it
21:20:47 <pgreco> yeah, not elegant, but works
21:21:19 <pgreco> my to-do list keeps getting bigger, even when I'm crossing a lot of items off of it....
21:21:54 <carlwgeorge> on an unrelated topic, i want to remind everyone that we will start getting pressure to create epel9(-next) early-ish next year
21:22:42 <pgreco> I like that, we're still on the idea of picking a snapshot of ELN to start testing, right?
21:24:22 <carlwgeorge> i think it would be better to start with the initial cs9 release
21:25:01 <pgreco> for the outside world, yes, but for stg and preparing infra
21:25:12 <pgreco> maybe we don't need to wait for that
21:25:36 <pgreco> we're still 6 months away from branching IIRC
21:25:51 <carlwgeorge> if we had nothing else to do, i'd agree with that
21:26:00 <pgreco> hehe
21:26:27 <pgreco> I just don't see another way to do it early-ish next year
21:26:46 <bstinson> i think starting with Stream would be enough time
21:27:21 <carlwgeorge> i think it's realistic to expect cs9 around that time
21:27:48 <carlwgeorge> things can always go wrong, but that's what i'm hoping/expecting
21:27:58 * nirik notes epel9 should be a lot easier than 8 was... modularity and all that was difficult to adjust to.
21:27:59 <pgreco> then I'm happy I'm way off with the times
21:28:17 <nirik> of course 9 could have some curve balls too... :)
21:29:02 <pgreco> more "curve balls" than modularity?
21:30:03 <nirik> yeah, not too likely I admit.
21:30:28 <pgreco> anything else before open floor?
21:31:41 <pgreco> guess not
21:31:42 <nirik> I had one item for open floor...
21:31:44 <pgreco> #topic General Issues / Open Floor
21:31:48 <pgreco> nirik: all yours
21:32:17 <nirik> I asked bcotton to do the eol bug handling for epel6... hope no one objects. :)
21:33:06 <nirik> ie, comment on all open bugs that it goes eol in a month, on dec 1st, close all open bugs EOL and close them to new bugs.
21:33:06 <carlwgeorge> good thinking
21:33:07 <pgreco> I hate when that's done for Fedora, but seems really appropriate here
21:33:36 <pgreco> yeap, thanks nirik
21:33:46 <nirik> thats all I had. :)
21:34:23 <pgreco> next topic should be open issues
21:34:31 <pgreco> but I don't have the list of issues to discuss
21:34:55 <pgreco> so, anything else before we adjourn?
21:35:59 <nirik> nope
21:36:39 <pgreco> I'm ok with a short meeting to start my weekend
