21:01:14 * carlwgeorge waves
21:01:20 <nirik> hello
21:01:35 <pgreco> hello
21:01:43 <tdawson> Hi carlwgeorge nirik and pgreco
21:02:18 <bstinson> hi all
21:02:26 <tdawson> hi bstinson
21:03:19 <tdawson> Wow, we have almost everyone within the first two minutes.
21:03:28 <tdawson> I'll give it one more minute to see if merlinm shows up.
21:04:42 <tdawson> I'll give it one more minute to see if merlinm shows up.
21:04:43 <tdawson> #topic Old Business
21:04:45 <tdawson> #info Report on progress of testing CentOS Devel repo packages in EPEL8
21:04:46 <tdawson> #info https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8749
21:05:01 <tdawson> So, it looks like we've had some good progress on this.
21:05:11 <tdawson> nirik: did you want to report on what's been done?
21:05:38 <nirik> yeah
21:06:06 <nirik> so, I can enable this in prod if we want, but... there is a limitation. No s390x builds... so all things using this would have to excludearch that
21:06:21 <nirik> otherwise it seems to work from limited / quick testing
21:06:39 <tdawson> Yep, it worked for me.
21:07:30 <nirik> so, either we enable it in prod and announce / document it, or drop it. ;)
21:07:51 <tdawson> I'm for enabling it in prod.
21:07:56 <tdawson> What do others think?
21:07:58 <pgreco> me too
21:08:29 <nirik> ok. I can enable it... can someone else document it and announce it? I could try and do that too, but not sure when I would get to it.
21:08:55 <tdawson> If nobody else wants to document it, I can give it a try.
21:09:24 <nirik> I guess on our policy / guidelines wiki page?
21:09:42 <tdawson> Ya, that's what I was thinking.
21:09:49 <nirik> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL:Packaging
21:10:12 <nirik> (of course it all needs to be burned down and moved to real docs someday, but perhaps not today)
21:10:33 <pgreco> tdawson, I can give it a quick review when you write
21:10:34 <tdawson> Yep ... I don't know how to do that yet.
21:10:35 <pgreco> if you want
21:10:51 <tdawson> pgreco: I would appreciate that.  I'll ping you when I get it written.
21:11:21 <tdawson> nirik: Did you want to go ahead and put it in prod when you get the time, and once I have it documented, we'll announce it.
21:11:48 <nirik> sounds good.
21:11:52 <nirik> it's pretty easy to add.
21:12:16 <tdawson> I have to say, I was surprised when my test build, built.
21:12:34 * nirik runs the two commands now.
21:13:54 <tdawson> bstinson: Thank you, and the CentOS infrsstructure people, for getting this done.
21:14:22 <nirik> ok, should be live. :)
21:14:31 <tdawson> nirik: Wow ... you are good.
21:14:49 <tdawson> How often will that sync?
21:14:50 <bstinson> we can call this a working meeting
21:15:07 <nirik> I think it's daily.
21:15:22 <tdawson> That should be good ... cool.
21:16:38 <tdawson> #action tdawson will document the new 'missing devel' repo / way of doing things.  He will send it to pgreco and bstinson for review before he publishes it.
21:16:48 <pgreco> +1
21:17:07 <tdawson> nirik: Thank you, and smooge (I know he did something) for getting it setup in epel.
21:17:16 <nirik> no problem
21:17:58 <tdawson> Anything else on this?
21:18:02 <nirik> nope
21:18:27 <tdawson> I can't wait to start closing alot of those epel issues. :)
21:18:32 <tdawson> OK, moving on.
21:18:48 <tdawson> #info EPEL-6 is End of Life in 2020-11. It will be moved to archives in 2020-12
21:18:50 <tdawson> #info THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
21:18:59 <smooge> it is a drill.. will never happen
21:19:09 * tdawson laughs.
21:19:20 <smooge> keep your EL6 systems going.. don't worry
21:19:42 * smooge goes back to his misinformation cave
21:20:37 <tdawson> I replied to the one fellow who wanted to update his epel6 package, along with rebuild all it's dependents.  He never replied to my reply.
21:21:21 <tdawson> I noted that his package hadn't been updated or touched for 9 years.  Did he really want to make this change 6 months before it goes end of life.
21:21:49 <tdawson> But, if he replies ... I'll help him out.
21:22:17 <tdawson> #topic EPEL-7
21:22:49 <tdawson> Any problems for EPEL7?
21:23:23 <nirik> humming along as far as I know...
21:23:37 <tdawson> #topic EPEL-8
21:24:33 <pgreco> not aware of anything other than the Devel repo
21:24:54 <nirik> there's outstanding issues with modules, but no progress on that that I know of
21:24:59 <tdawson> I haven't pinged him in a while, but next week I'll ping mboddu about the non-default module stuff.
21:25:24 <tdawson> nirik: So, no progress, understood.
21:25:50 <tdawson> I was going to ping him to see if he had an estimate of when he would be able to look at it more.
21:26:19 <mboddu> Ahhh, I should put it on my list, so much stuff going on
21:26:41 <nirik> the two things I know of are:
21:26:58 <nirik> .ticket 8690
21:26:59 <zodbot> nirik: Issue #8690: Can't build module with dependency on module in RHEL - fedora-infrastructure - Pagure.io - https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8690
21:27:07 <nirik> .ticket 8687
21:27:08 <zodbot> nirik: Issue #8687: module: bad constraint branch = stream - fedora-infrastructure - Pagure.io - https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8687
21:27:58 * mboddu trying to non-default module ticket
21:27:59 <nirik> well, I guess not clear the second one is a epel issue really.
21:28:20 <tdawson> Ya, that's what I was going to ask.  Does it do this in Fedora and not EPEL?
21:28:39 <nirik> unclear.
21:29:32 <tdawson> Huh ... maybe it needs some investigation.  I was thinking of asking merlinm if this is even a feature that's been implemented anywhere.
21:30:33 <nirik> yeah...
21:30:36 <nirik> dunno
21:30:55 <tdawson> Hmm ... since he isn't here ... maybe I can assign this for him to do. :)
21:31:13 <pgreco> that seems like the right choice :)
21:32:28 <tdawson> #action merlinm will investigate Issue #8687 and find out if this is a feature implemented anywhere yet.
21:32:47 <tdawson> #action tdawson will tell merlinm about previous action.
21:33:09 <nirik> :)
21:33:43 <tdawson> So, I think both of these are things to bring up at next weeks meeting, hopefully with progress.
21:33:49 <tdawson> Anything else for EPEL8?
21:34:02 <mboddu> tdawson: I am not able to find that ticket, do you have it in hand?
21:34:17 * mboddu will give have some estimate by next week
21:34:26 <tdawson> mboddu: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8690
21:34:36 <mboddu> Thanks
21:35:11 <mboddu> #action While I was looking at it, its been discussed here :D
21:35:19 <mboddu> #unfo
21:35:21 <mboddu> #undo
21:35:31 <tdawson> :)
21:35:33 <mboddu> Oh, I am not the chair, never mind
21:35:44 <tdawson> #undo
21:35:44 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: ACTION by mboddu at 21:35:11 : While I was looking at it, its been discussed here :D
21:35:54 <mboddu> Thanks tdawson
21:36:11 <mboddu> While I was looking for it*
21:36:20 <mboddu> Been a long day, should go for a walk
21:36:39 <tdawson> It's possible that we're almost finished here ...
21:36:50 <tdawson> #topic Open Floor
21:37:48 <tdawson> Anyone have anything else?
21:38:03 <nirik> nope
21:38:28 <pgreco> nothing here
21:38:32 <carlwgeorge> all good
21:39:06 <tdawson> Thanks everyone for coming.  Have a good weekend.
