I have not looked at it yet myself 18:05:52 i haven't peeked at it yet. that may turn into a weekend project 18:06:42 yeah same here 18:06:57 #topic certbot is broke due to EL7.5 conflicts 18:07:21 currently there is a report that certbot is broken to install due to package conflicts in EPEL and shipped in RHEL packages 18:08:10 huh, is there a bug with more details? 18:09:06 not that I can see. it was in the #epel logs from Monday and Tuesday with Elyscape 18:09:45 ok. Some of the things on that list didn't make sense to me... but we can sort it out. 18:10:37 and I think https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1578071#c5 18:11:28 so what I sent to the list was me doing what till? had said he did to find conflicts a long time ago repodiff between EPEL and RHEL repositories with EPEL as --new and the others as old 18:13:02 ah, I see the issue, but there's not much we can do from the epel side. 18:13:14 awscli was retired and blocked, it's gone from our side. 18:13:59 The other problem I saw was we have a lot of packages which can't be installed because their deps no longer exist 18:14:41 I wonder if we could setup some kind of CI test that just does a 'yum install package' and lets us know which ones fail? 18:15:09 bstinson, ^ ? 18:16:55 Looking at them a lot of them were built for RHEL-7.1 and those deps no longer exist in RHEL-7.5 due to the many updates 18:17:26 it wouldn't be difficult to stream in behind what we're doing with Fedora CI for that 18:18:00 so our old working assumption of stable EL and not needing regular rebuilds doesn't work when the desktop changes greatly or packages are dropped 18:18:52 we could probably go through once or twice "by hand" (by scripts really) and see how broken we are now while we work through the CI process 18:19:05 thanks bstinson that sounds like a good idea 18:20:30 anything more anyone has on this? If not I will move to the list on it 18:21:05 #topic gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-dock in EPEL works / 7.5 broke? https://pagure.io/epel/issue/44 18:22:03 so this came up as a package where we have a newer version than what is in RHEL.. but the version in RHEL is known broken with a 'fix' for the next major release like the libsmbios 18:22:30 I will ask on the list for feedback on what to do here 18:23:16 bstinson/nirik, did we go over anything flock related at the last EPEL meeting? Did anything EPEL related come up? 18:24:40 there was some epel talk... 18:24:45 we should talk about modules sometime 18:24:52 but nothing specifically we needed to bring to the meeting 18:27:09 ok cool. then I am going to 18:27:13 #topic Open Floor 18:27:41 I am not sure that this meeting every other week is working.. as it seems to be on the week that people aren't available 18:28:09 #info Next Scheduled for 2018-09-12 18:28:09 #info Need agenda items 18:28:35 yeah, every other week meetings are hard... 18:28:44 to remember when the meeting is and what you wanted to bring up 18:29:37 ok I can move it back to weekly 18:29:47 well, dunno... 18:30:03 I will bring up moving the meetings to weekly on the lists and see how it goes :) 18:30:16 we could try a different time too? although this one works fine for me. 18:31:17 will put both up 18:31:50 this was the latest for the Europeans and going earlier leads to bleary eyed nirik 18:33:16 ok I think that is about it then.. 18:33:21 hope you all have a good week 18:33:25 #endmeeting
