18:07:32 <smooge> anything else for EPEL-7 ?
18:07:34 <tdawson> It doesn't look as bad as it did with the last minor release.
18:07:42 <smooge> cool
18:07:52 <pgreco> smooge, I'm trying to see if I can find a place to build aarch64 while I build armhfp

18:09:09 <smooge> ok there is some movement here towards modules
18:09:55 <smooge> sgallagh and I will be meeting to go over how the current build system works and how we will replace grobisplitter with a different tool
18:10:16 <smooge> then we will start working on it in staging or something similar and see how ti goes.
18:10:26 <sgallagh> ack
18:10:41 <smooge> sgallagh, did you have anything to report on epel-8 right now?
18:11:10 <sgallagh> Nothing specific to EPEL 8 at the moment
18:11:52 <bstinson> smooge, sgallagh: i'm interested in the outcome of that syncup, but i probably can't crash your party. is there a writeup planned?
18:12:12 <sgallagh> bstinson: I can make sure that happens, yes
18:12:14 <smooge> bstinson, we haven't even gotten to writing up the syncup
18:12:22 <smooge> s/writing/planning/
18:12:47 <bstinson> neat, thanks

18:16:42 <smooge> ok that is all i had for epel-8
18:16:56 <smooge> #topic General Items/Open Floor
18:16:58 * nirik was gonna do a blog post on epel8 packages... why there is not a set list of them and how to request them
18:17:09 <smooge> nirik, that sounds great
18:18:14 <smooge> I think making it something repeated over and over might help
18:18:45 <smooge> does anyone else have any blog articles or ideas to write up?
18:18:47 <nirik> yeah, it will never get to everyone...
18:22:27 <smooge> ok next up.. do we have anything for next weeks meeting?
18:24:03 <smooge> << chirp >>

18:24:47 <smooge> ok I will stick to what we have and if people have anything to add let me know then.  Meeting agenda will be https://board.net/p/epel
18:25:29 <smooge> thank you all for coming and for Southern_Gentlem making a HAM of my cricket joke
