18:06:11 <smooge> avij, will you be able to make it?
18:06:27 <avij> I don't think I have the possibility to attend ..
18:07:27 <smooge> OK nirik I think you and bstinson are about it this year
18:07:45 <nirik> alright. well, we will miss you all...
18:08:12 <smooge> if there are EPEL discussions or decisions or from on high announcements please bring them back :)
18:08:34 <bstinson> i'll take sorta-good notes
18:08:42 <bstinson> as good as my notes can be
18:08:57 <smooge> remember to bring an alexa to do that for you

18:10:22 <bstinson> is that not normal...
18:10:22 <smooge> anything else on FLOCK. I hope you guys have a good time
18:11:27 <smooge> #topic EL-6 end of life
18:11:27 <smooge> #info EL-6 will be reaching its end of life in late 2020.
18:11:43 <smooge> This is your meeting reminder that in about 2 years EL6 will be EOL.
18:11:49 <orc_fedo> heh
18:11:58 <smooge> We will hopefully be off fas2 by then
18:12:03 <orc_fedo> so, I should start retiring my EPEL 5 units
18:12:45 <smooge> maybe
18:12:58 <smooge> I expect that you will need to do your 2.1 ones first
18:13:04 * nirik wonders if epel existing for AS2.1 how many people would still be using it.
18:13:05 <smooge> 2.1 was a good release.. probably the best
18:13:21 <smooge> ... sounds like an EPIC problem
18:13:31 <smooge> ok next up
18:13:35 <smooge> #topic clamav.i386 in EL-6 problems
18:14:04 <smooge> So clamav in EL6 is still broken. I haven't had time to work out a zlib bundle for it
18:15:02 <smooge> I hope I can get to it next week
18:15:06 <orc_fedo> smooge: it may be that a retriever, decompressor that understands the new zlib, and re-compressor with the old version shim solves the matter
18:15:39 <smooge> it might be.. but that would still be a bundling of it into the RPM
18:16:02 <smooge> and that package is uhm special
18:16:22 <orc_fedo> smooge: it may be that a retriever, decompressor that understands the new zlib, and re-compressor with the old version shim solves the matter
18:16:33 <orc_fedo> smooge: it may be that a retriever, decompressor that understands the new zlib, and re-compressor with the old version shim solves the mhmmm
18:16:40 <orc_fedo> smooge: yes .. but the choice of a local in the lackage new zlib looks even less appetizing in terms of moving off 'maintained elsewhere'
18:17:25 <avij> I'd like to know why exactly it does not work with the current zlib
18:17:49 <orc_fedo> avij: they rely on some new zlib feature to compressess the remote bundle
18:18:22 <smooge> and the funny thing is that the 64bit old version can deal with it
18:18:35 <smooge> the 32bit old version can't
18:18:58 <avij> maybe, and I wonder if that's a big or small change, and if the RHEL zlib can be fixed for this
18:19:35 <orc_fedo> zlib has CVE matter with some regularity .. I suspect there would be push back
18:21:16 <avij> but I'm afraid we'll need to use some sort of a "bigger hammer" approach and see if it works better with a newer zlib, instead of trying to pinpoint the minimal set of changes to make it work
18:22:12 <smooge> well if someone has time to pull it apart and look at it in the next week or so.. I would appreciate it. I won't be able to until the 11th
18:22:15 <avij> ideally the package maintainer should be the primary person for this work, but ..
18:23:17 <smooge> .whoowns clamav
18:23:19 <zodbot> smooge: owner: sergiomb; admin: nb, pwouters, robert, steve; commit: mstevens, janfrode, gnat - Fedora EPEL: robert
18:23:19 <avij> I'm afraid I'm a bit tied with other programming projects at the moment myself
18:23:57 <smooge> ok in anycase that is all I have on that at the moment
18:24:22 <smooge> #topic EL-6.11/EL-7.5 package reaping
18:25:59 <smooge> This one will be one I am going to work on this weekend and will have an email report out next week
18:26:13 <smooge> I should have enough cycles to go through the various tools
18:26:32 <avij> great, thanks
18:27:18 <smooge> #topic Next Meeting
18:27:18 <smooge> #info Scheduled for 2018-08-15 (Need someone to help run)
18:27:18 <smooge> #info Need agenda items
18:27:55 <smooge> I will be probably at the airport for that meeting so I may not be able to run it.
18:28:24 <smooge> I will make sure the agenda is up to date and such
18:29:44 <smooge> ok checks to see if he muted everyone
18:30:07 <smooge> #topic open floor (don't everyone talk at once...)
18:30:08 <orc_fedo> ... ... ... --- --- ---
18:30:52 <avij> it's still on, but I'm also unsure if I'll be at the keyboard at that time
18:31:08 <smooge> ok
18:31:19 <smooge> well then it will be up to Nirik then :)
18:31:49 <smooge> alright with that I want to thank you all for coming to this weeks meeting. I will see you in 2 or 4 weeks
18:31:56 * orc_fedo waves
