Meeting summary

1. Introductions, Welcomes (mattdm, 19:00:08)
   
2. Today's Agenda (mattdm, 19:02:47)
   
3. Fedora Modularity Update from Langdon (langdon, 19:05:42)
   1. "Everything" repo as it has always been, but we now have a new "Modular" repo which has modules. (mattdm, 19:10:41)
   2. This new repo is optional, and enabled by default on Server (mattdm, 19:11:00)
   3. Not recommended on Workstation because compatiblity with PackageKit is not done (mattdm, 19:11:33)
   4. Also same problem with microdnf and Cockpit compatibility (mattdm, 19:12:00)
   5. not a bug, per se, just work not done yet (mattdm, 19:12:08)
   6. there is an update in the near future (shortly after F28 GA) which will make cockpit/microdnf/PackageKit *not cause horrible trouble* when modules are enabled, but not to allow those tools to work with modules directly. (mattdm, 19:20:32)
   7. We're expecting full support in the F29 timeframe (mattdm, 19:20:46)
   8. we have about 15 modules now -- hoping for more at GA but number uncertain (mattdm, 19:23:10)

   3. "all packages" testing not in production yet, but looking good (mattdm, 19:37:18)
   4. Dominik asks us to not mix up the issue of gating in principle with problems with specific tests/workflow problems (mattdm, 19:44:22)
   5. This would send a "we're in a hurry, let's properly test it later" message (jwb, 19:45:18)
