I just wanted to make sure there isn't anyone that doesn't agree before adding him. 20:06:57 slam dunk, put him in coach 20:07:01 Orion is a beast! 20:07:05 yeap, easy question 20:07:11 +10 20:07:26 .hi 20:07:27 davide: Sorry, but user 'davide' does not exist 20:07:36 .hello dcavalca 20:07:39 davide: dcavalca 'Davide Cavalca' 20:07:59 Hi davide 20:08:24 +1 for orionp 20:09:04 The other issue with a meeting tag is salimma's, and he isn't going to be here today. 20:09:33 #topic Old Business 20:10:17 This is unusual, but I don't have any old business. Did I miss something, or do we really not have any old business? 20:10:33 crb enable thing? 20:10:56 oh right, did we reach a conclusion on that? 20:10:59 https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/epel-release/pull-request/21 20:11:00 carlwgeorge: From what I remember, we agreed that we'd put the script in, but not enable it .. at least for now. 20:11:23 afaict the only thing missing in the current pr is an accurate changelog entry 20:11:38 `- Enable CRB during install` is not where we landed 20:11:50 That I can do. :) 20:12:02 aside from that, squash the commits, then lgtm 20:12:20 OK. I can get that done after this meeting. 20:12:34 tdawson++ 20:12:34 carlwgeorge: Karma for tdawson changed to 2 (for the current release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 20:12:34 Anything else that's old? 20:12:50 gotmax has a pr too we should probably resolve 20:13:18 gotmax isn't going to be here today either. 20:13:35 Does anyone have a link for it? 20:13:46 https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/epel-rpm-macros/pull-request/44 20:14:12 it's a python thing and miro already signed off on it. based on that alone i'm +1. 20:14:50 it it wasn't so late for him i'd tag him 20:15:24 this seems reasonable from a quick look 20:16:15 Yep, a +1 from me. I looks reasonable, and I don't see any flaws ... though I think miro has a better eye than me. 20:16:39 yeah, seems fine 20:17:25 found a minor nit, rhel8 already has both %rpmmacrodir and %_rpmmacrodir, so we don't need that definition. will follow up on the pr. 20:17:41 reasonable to me I think 20:17:47 please use `%_rpmmacrodir`, since that's rpm upstream 20:18:25 I wouldn't be surprised if Miro was still up ;) We had a conversation two hours after this yesterday. It's still probably better not to bother him. 20:18:31 I can remove the rpmmacrodir thing 20:18:41 Hi gotmax 20:18:42 * gotmax goes back to what he's actually supposed to be doing 20:18:46 Eighth_Doctor: rhel8 already defines both so we don't have to worry about it 20:19:04 * carlwgeorge waves at gotmax 20:19:31 Anything else before I move on? 20:19:54 #topic EPEL-7 20:19:55 CentOS 7 will go EOL on 2024-06-30 20:20:24 That gives us about 2 years to get some type of budget for a retirement party 20:20:37 :) 20:20:49 ha 20:21:17 I'm not very good at getting budgets, so it will take that long. 20:21:31 Anything come up in the past couple weeks relating to epel7? 20:21:50 a little birdie told me we have secured some budget for epel stickers (tdawson lets chat about that after this meeting) 20:22:50 Sorry, that got me too excited to type. :) 20:23:23 Sounds like we didn't have any epel7 stuff ... moving on ... 20:23:30 #topic EPEL-8 20:23:31 CentOS Stream 8 goes EOL in 2024-05-31 20:24:52 I'm looking back through emails and stuff, I don't see anything for epel8 either. 20:25:12 #topic EPEL-9 20:25:14 CentOS Stream 9 goes EOL in 2027-05-31 20:25:56 Sorry, I just have that there so I can always beat smooge to the EOL punch. :) 20:26:34 It looks like we've got time, does carlwgeorge or smooge have any epel9 numbers? 20:27:05 6516 rpms from 2911 srpms 20:27:29 sweet 20:27:49 Only 1500 more to catch up to epel8 20:28:09 that will be a good day 20:28:41 I've noticed though, that epel8 is still growing. So it might be harder to catch than we expect. 20:29:19 Anything epel9 related people want to discuss? 20:29:24 I have a question for epel9 20:29:29 bwm-ng 20:29:59 it has the branch created, but seems like the maintainer hasn't pushed the branch to be built 20:30:12 current rawhide builds and works 20:30:29 is it ok if I push/build? 20:31:07 It looks like that branch was built way back in Feb. 10 20:32:13 the branch was created, yes 20:32:21 but it's "empty" 20:32:53 https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/bwm-ng/commits/epel9 20:33:03 Looking at the bug, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2052868 ... they aren't saying not to build it 20:33:25 I couldn't find anything forbidding the maintainer from actually doing it 20:34:15 Personally, I'd give a ping on the bug, asking if they minded you building it, and if they don't respond, go for it. 20:34:22 ack 20:35:10 +1 20:35:48 #topic General Issues / Open Floor 20:36:50 Anything for open floor? 20:36:56 there's a thread on fedora-devel with some concerns around the stalled epel policy 20:37:23 Yep. We were talking about it on #epel. 20:37:32 i'm actually typing replies to it now 20:37:35 oh I just saw carlwgeorge replied now 20:37:46 yeah I was going to say we should clarify how the collaborator thing works 20:37:50 I think we're good then 20:38:01 Thanks for bringing it up though 20:39:51 Sorry, got distracted reading through all the replies. 20:39:57 Anything else for this week? 20:40:10 nothing from me 20:40:16 I'm ok closing the meeting early. 20:40:53 sounds good 20:41:12 Thank you all for comming and the good discussion. Thank you for your work in the EPEL community. 20:41:16 Talk to ya'll next week. 20:41:22 #endmeeting
