2026-01-21 18:06:23 <@tdawson:fedora.im> If I remember correctly, we decided to do this work in the first week of February.
2026-01-21 18:06:40 <@tdawson:fedora.im> But we kept the meeting label on, so on that week, we won't forget it.
2026-01-21 18:07:20 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Yep, it says that in the comment, so moving on.
2026-01-21 18:07:34 <@nirik:matrix.scrye.com> FYI, qa has a checklist thing that I used for the infra move that could be helpful.
2026-01-21 18:08:10 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Cool.   Could you put that in a comment for the issue?

2026-01-21 18:09:03 <@dherrera:fedora.im> oh, this is nice ^-^ I'll look into it
2026-01-21 18:09:52 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Anything else before we move on?
2026-01-21 18:10:20 <@dherrera:fedora.im> fine with moving on ^^

2026-01-21 18:11:29 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Hi Robby Callicotte 
2026-01-21 18:11:38 <@carlwgeorge:fedora.im> i'm ready to merge as-is, but did have a "what if" question in the comments
2026-01-21 18:11:46 <@rcallicotte:fedora.im> I'm juggling another meeting :)
2026-01-21 18:12:04 <@carlwgeorge:fedora.im> basically it's written for an `-epel` suffix, but we could adjust it to be be `epel` in the package name at all
2026-01-21 18:12:20 <@carlwgeorge:fedora.im> i'm not sure if it's necessary
2026-01-21 18:13:15 <@tdawson:fedora.im> I'm good with it being just 'epel' ... I can think of people thinking, Hey, I'm going to call this epel-xyz ... 
2026-01-21 18:14:11 <@tdawson:fedora.im> You'd have to do a little tweeking, because you have "-epel suffixes" ... and if it's at the beginning, it wouldn't be a suffix.
2026-01-21 18:14:55 <@carlwgeorge:fedora.im> really it should just be epel-release and epel-rpm-macros, i can't think of any others
2026-01-21 18:15:15 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Correct, which is why it would be good for someone else to not make one.
2026-01-21 18:15:38 <@carlwgeorge:fedora.im> we could merge as-is, call it good enough, and switch it to an `epel` string if the situation arises in the future
2026-01-21 18:15:46 <@carlwgeorge:fedora.im> or i can rework this pr, i'm fine either way
2026-01-21 18:16:01 <@tdawson:fedora.im> That sounds like a  good plan.
2026-01-21 18:16:09 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Because I really like what you have.
2026-01-21 18:16:36 <@dherrera:fedora.im> I think that other uses of epel should just be reserved
2026-01-21 18:16:59 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> let's just fully reserve the name
2026-01-21 18:17:03 <@nirik:matrix.scrye.com> we can always adjust if there comes another case.
2026-01-21 18:17:03 <@nirik:matrix.scrye.com> yeah
2026-01-21 18:19:04 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Conan Kudo: Are you ok with merging what we have now, and adding something that expands it to reserve the whole name?
2026-01-21 18:19:15 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> yeah sure
2026-01-21 18:19:31 <@carlwgeorge:fedora.im> it occurs to me we need to add all the esc members to the epel forge org
2026-01-21 18:19:36 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> there probably needs to be a fedora-level doc about reserved names though
2026-01-21 18:19:49 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> that should be brought up to fpc
2026-01-21 18:20:03 <@tdawson:fedora.im> I just worry that if we don't merge this now, it will be several weeks before we merge it.
2026-01-21 18:20:44 <@dherrera:fedora.im> just merged it 👍️
2026-01-21 18:22:23 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Does someone want to write up a new issue dealing with reserving the epel name ?
2026-01-21 18:22:44 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> yeah I'll file it with fpc
2026-01-21 18:22:44 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Since it will be a little bit different, It would be good to close this one, and create a new one.
2026-01-21 18:22:57 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Sounds good.
2026-01-21 18:23:06 <@carlwgeorge:fedora.im> fedora probably needs the same policy
2026-01-21 18:23:41 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Ya, once they have their policy, we can put a link in this section to that.
2026-01-21 18:23:51 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Anything else on this before we move on?
2026-01-21 18:24:16 <@tdawson:fedora.im> !topic Old Business
2026-01-21 18:24:36 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Does anyone have any old business they want to bring up?
2026-01-21 18:25:39 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Looking like a no ... so I'll move on to Open Floor.
2026-01-21 18:25:47 <@tdawson:fedora.im> !topic General Issues / Open Floor
2026-01-21 18:26:17 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Hmmm ... maybe I should have brought this up in Old Business, but next week we have canceled this meeting.
2026-01-21 18:26:57 <@tdawson:fedora.im> That came out wierd.  This meeting has been canceled for next week.   That sounds better.
2026-01-21 18:29:04 <@tdawson:fedora.im> I'm not getting back from FOSDOM until Tuesday Feb 3rd.  If nobody sees me anywhere on Wedensday Feb 4th ... assume I have the FOSDOM Flu, and someone else can run the meeting.
2026-01-21 18:30:01 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Any other Open Floor items?
2026-01-21 18:30:25 <@carlwgeorge:fedora.im> hope to see some of y'all at the epel hackfest and esc panel at connect
2026-01-21 18:30:44 <@nirik:matrix.scrye.com> everyone have safe travels and a good time at connect/fosdem!
2026-01-21 18:32:41 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Looks like nobody has anything else.  Are we ok closing early?
2026-01-21 18:33:41 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Sounds like ya'll want to end early.
2026-01-21 18:34:01 <@tdawson:fedora.im> See some of ya'll next week, and the rest I'll talk to you in two weeks.
2026-01-21 18:34:13 <@tdawson:fedora.im> Thank ya'll for all you do for EPEL and it's community.
