!topic Old Business

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:05:56

Does anyone have any Old Business?

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:06:31

Do we know if Diego's merge request for !epel got merged?

<@carlwgeorge:fedora.im>

18:07:22

Last I checked yesterday, not yet

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:07:59

Bummer, but, we have the time to wait.

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:08:06

Any other Old Business?

<@carlwgeorge:fedora.im>

18:09:45

no updates on any of my backlog stuff. my focus right now is fixing up the eol sop docs for may, when we retire epel 10.1

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:10:12

Ohh ... that's coming up quick.

<@carlwgeorge:fedora.im>

18:10:28

every six months, like clockwork 😁

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:10:41

OK, then I'm going to move on to Open Floor

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:10:48

!topic General Issues / Open Floor

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:11:00

Does anyone have anything for Open Floor?

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:11:49

Even if we don't and people want to end the meeting, I'll keep it open another five or ten minutes. Just incase someone is late and really wanted to talk about something.

<@nirik:matrix.scrye.com>

18:12:02

not much epel related I can think of right now...

<@carlwgeorge:fedora.im>

18:13:01

i guess as an fyi, i just submitted llvm19 for epel9, and in the middle of the stalled process for llvm20 to get that added to epel10. llvm in centos/rhel being a rolling appstream still regularly causes installation problems for epel stuff.

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:14:28

About the only thing I can think of is that I'm going to seperate my ffmpeg and qt6 updates for epel9. It's just much to big, and now qt6-qtwebengine is not building. So I'm going to start working on the ffmpeg update.

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:15:02

Oh, that's right. CentOS Stream has already updated to llvm21.

<@carlwgeorge:fedora.im>

18:16:08

indeed, and right before mass branching, so affected packagers will need to figure out both 10.2 and 10.3 build

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:16:56

Ick

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:17:37

I didn't really notice when they did the change, so I had assumed it was after the branching.

<@carlwgeorge:fedora.im>

18:17:44

i slightly take that back, it was back in december, but flew under the radar because the initial package had included compat libs for the previous version

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:18:04

Ah, ok. Which explains why I didn't notice it.

<@carlwgeorge:fedora.im>

18:18:10

the next build after branching dropped the built-in compat libs

<@carlwgeorge:fedora.im>

18:19:28

so epel packages that rebuilt after about dec 22 are probably safe and linked against llvm 21 libs

<@carlwgeorge:fedora.im>

18:20:32

i'm focusing on it lately because i reported a package that was linked against 20, only to find out that the upstream isn't compatible with 21 yet, so the compat package will still be needed

<@carlwgeorge:fedora.im>

18:20:39

(that was zig)

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:21:31

Anything else for Open Floor? If not, are we ok ending early?

<@carlwgeorge:fedora.im>

18:21:40

works for me

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:22:16

We didn't have too much discussions, but thank you all for coming. And as always, thanks for all you do for EPEL and it's communities.

<@tdawson:fedora.im>

18:22:25

I'll talk to you next week, if not sooner.

<@tdawson:fedora.im>
