Let's begin. Stragglers can read the scrollback 12:03:50 #topic GlusterFS 4.0 12:04:05 who wants to report? 12:04:19 oops, getting ahead of myself 12:04:27 #topic next week's host 12:04:39 who would like to volunteer to chair next week? 12:05:20 the silence is deafening 12:05:24 :) 12:05:42 i'll try one day but i'm starting my vacation next week so probably won't be joining 12:05:53 fair enough 12:07:08 tsk, tsk...

Been working on other patches. 12:09:04 Any idea about a possible release date? Would setting a date help with setting work priorities? 12:09:23 just curious! 12:09:34 SWAG? 12:09:45 Adding people and subtracting distractions would help a lot more. 12:09:59 The more features we throw into 3.x releases, the longer 4.0 will take. 12:10:37 RIght now, we occasionally get some of Atin's and Kaushal's time for GD2, some of Shyam's for DHT2, and that's about it. 12:11:17 okay 12:11:27 anything else or shall we move on to the next topic? 12:11:38 * jdarcy votes for next topic. 12:11:42 #topic GlusterFS 3.9 12:12:08 aravindavk? 12:12:25 * kkeithley doesn't see pranith or dblack 12:12:32 kkeithley: just joined 12:12:50 aravindavk: any status on 3.9? Any progress? 12:13:22 Road map page update pending, will send out status to devel this week 12:14:27 I'll presume that we are on track for release on schedule at this point in time? 12:14:46 * msvbhat arrives late 12:14:48 #topic GlusterFS 3.8 12:14:56 kkeithley: looks good 12:15:14 excellent 12:15:26 ndevos is in another meeting. 12:15:37 He released 3.8.1 on Friday (a couple days early. 12:15:52 ) 12:16:11 so far feedback seems good 12:16:38 i haven't got any time to test the memory leaks we've encountered (not for 3.7 neither) 12:16:49 a fair number of downloads from d.g.o and Launchpad 12:17:04 https://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/download-stats.html 12:17:24 anyone have any questions or comments about 3.8 or 3.8.1? 12:17:31 going once? 12:17:37 going twice? 12:17:44 boom 12:17:44 moving on to next topic 12:17:51 #topic GlusterFS 3.7 12:18:08 kaushal_: ? 12:18:11 3.7.13 still requires some patches for us to run OK :) 12:18:52 kotreshhr: http://review.gluster.org/#/c/13658/ this one is the one that waits to be merged for half a year or so ;). could you please take some look at it? 12:19:11 do we have bugs and patches for those in hte system? 12:19:12 post-factum: I need reviewers time 12:19:41 kotreshhr: it seems smoke is not happy with some metadata like version, branch etc 12:20:23 post-factum: Ok, I will look into smoke issue. I need some one to review it. 12:20:36 On 3.7.13 & 3.8.1 I had a question for ndevos and kshlm - http://www.gluster.org/pipermail/maintainers/2016-July/001063.html 12:20:39 kotreshhr: probably, here we could find some volunteers to do that :) 12:21:43 so, for the record, 3.7.13 was an "emergency" release, i.e. made ahead of schedule. The next scheduled release is 30 July. Is there any reason to believe that won't happen? 12:22:55 tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock.... 12:22:59 post-factum: Hopefully, I will check with Raghavendra as well for review. I follow it up to get it merged 12:23:09 kotreshhr: many thanks 12:23:31 atinm: does that affect geo-rep only? 12:23:49 #action kshlm and ndevos to respond to http://www.gluster.org/pipermail/maintainers/2016-July/001063.html 12:24:20 post-factum, no, it primarily affects AFR 12:24:32 post-factum, people may end up in split brains 12:25:34 kotreshhr has an upstream patch http://review.gluster.org/#/c/14898/ to take care of this issue but that can only land in coming releases 12:26:25 coming release like 3.7.14 and 3.8.2? Or 3.9? 12:26:41 atinm: so, if we do not have geo-rep installed, we shouldn't care? 12:27:13 post-factum: If geo-rep is not installed, the issue is not hit 12:27:21 kotreshhr: ok, thanks 12:27:24 post-factum, right! you don't have to as in that case the error is ignored out 12:28:28 post-factum: It's basically the problem with the order in which packages are installed, geo-rep package is installed after server, but server call gsyncd provided by geo-rep resulting in using older version binary. 12:29:48 kotreshhr: okay. just will note that 12:30:11 #info problem with the order in which packages are installed, geo-rep package is installed after server, but server call gsyncd provided by geo-rep resulting in using older version binary. 12:30:39 anything else on 3.7? 12:31:06 let's try this again 12:31:19 #topic next week's meeting chair 12:31:25 need a volunteer. 12:33:59 I'm coming to BLR in Sept. or Oct. I'm going to come around to people's desks and stare at them. I'm sure it'll make you feel uncomfortable. Volunteer now and avoid the discomfort 12:34:10 :D 12:34:39 sigh 12:34:45 #topic GlusterFS 3.6 12:35:10 I don't see rabhat or rtalur here 12:35:51 rastar is rtalur 12:35:57 No security or vuln fixes that I'm aware of 12:36:06 oh, yeah, right. ;-) 12:36:37 doh 12:36:58 (he is rtalur on RH internal IRC) 12:37:19 I don't have any update on this. no security or vuln fixes. 12:37:34 okay, moving on 12:37:42 #topic Infrastructure 12:37:48 nigelb, you're up 12:38:55 We're having an outage in RDU. This means that we will have Gerrit issues and Jenkins issues. Clones are taking a lot of time. There's a good backlog of jobs, especially netbsd jobs. 12:39:05 So, today is going to be bad. 12:39:53 anything else on infrastructure? 12:39:56 Hopefully time warner will fix things up soonish 12:40:02 pfft 12:40:12 More work is being done on JBB. I'd like to see anyone wants to help with reviewing JJB jobs from the community. If you don't know how it works, well, I'm learning too. So it's about reading documentation and checking it should work. An example to review: https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs-patch-acceptance-tests/pull/36 12:40:17 *see if 12:40:55 My short-term goal is to be able to create jobs without being blocked by access :) 12:41:00 what is JBB? 12:41:17 Jenkins Job Builder - http://docs.openstack.org/infra/jenkins-job-builder/ 12:42:08 #topic NFS-Ganesha 12:42:17 skoduri: anything to report? 12:42:38 nothing much 12:42:51 #topic Samba 12:42:59 ira, obnox: anything to report? 12:43:29 kkeithley: Not at the moment. 12:43:35 * ira is here. 12:44:00 #topic AIs from last week 12:44:11 kshlm/csim/nigelb to set up faux/pseudo user email for gerrit, bugzilla, github 12:44:36 I'm guessing no progress on this, correct? 12:44:38 I have no idea what this involves at this point. 12:44:53 Whoever is responsible, talk to me after meeting? 12:45:46 is bugs@gluster.org a real email address? Can we fix the gerrit patch updates to bugzilla to use bugs@gluster.org instead of vbellur@.... ? 12:46:24 #actionu kshlm, csim to chat with nigelb about setting up faux/pseudo user email for gerrit, bugzilla, github 12:46:33 rastar to look at 3.6 builds failures on BSD 12:47:11 rastar: ^^^ 12:47:15 This had turned out be the python related issue if I remember 12:47:16 kkeithley: "action" 12:47:36 But I will check again and confirm, 12:47:42 mostly it is done. 12:47:43 #action kshlm, csim to chat with nigelb about setting up faux/pseudo user email for gerrit, bugzilla, github 12:48:12 kkeithley: please add action for now 12:48:22 I will send a mail update on this so that it can be closed 12:48:32 #action rastar to look at 3.6 builds failures on BSD 12:48:44 kshlm will start a mailing list discussion on EOLing 3.6 12:49:00 anyone know if this happened? 12:49:38 I don't see mail with that topic 12:49:51 let's roll it over for next week 12:49:58 #action kshlm will start a mailing list discussion on EOLing 3.6 12:50:09 aravindavk will ping amye to link release-notes to 3.8 release annoucement on blog 12:50:47 kkeithley: not done, but not relavent now. :( 12:51:08 because? 12:51:09 kkeithley: link is available in blog but not clickable 12:51:18 snerk 12:51:26 okay 12:51:32 kkeithley: blog is old and 3.8.1 released 12:51:49 kkeithley Saravanakmr with nigelb will set up Coverity, clang, etc on public facing machine and run it regularly 12:52:02 that's a placeholder.

I think it would be worth doing upstream as well. 12:58:15 I agree 12:58:35 nigelb: you've touched sensibile subject of maintainers responsibility 12:58:35 * kkeithley thinks of herding cats 12:59:05 Herding cats is what I'm thinking of as well. 12:59:20 because cats are cute and everyone thinks about them 12:59:30 #idea quick summary of our release - what went well, what we can improve, what we did improve this time. 12:59:38 I guess #idea isn't a thing 13:00:16 okay, one minute remaining... the usual reminders 13:00:21 If you're attending any event/conference please add the event and yourselves to Gluster attendance of events: https://public.pad.fsfe.org/p/gluster-events 13:00:21 Put (even minor) interesting topics on https://public.pad.fsfe.org/p/gluster-weekly-news 13:00:21 Use the following etherpad for backport requests https://public.pad.fsfe.org/p/gluster-backport-requests 13:00:38 any last minute things before we adjourn? 13:00:51 guess not 13:00:55 #endmeeting
