21:05:23 <tdawson> https://pagure.io/epel/issues?tags=meeting&status=Open
21:05:50 <tdawson> It's possible that it will be a quick meeting ... there are no issues marked for "Meeting"
21:06:13 <tdawson> #topic Old Business
21:06:50 <tdawson> We had several things come up last week ... but as far as I could remember and have in my notes, nothing needed to come up again as "Old Business"
21:07:02 <tdawson> Am I missing any Old Business?
21:07:54 <nirik> releng decided to wait until after beta freeze to archive off epel8 modular... just to be careful and not upset things.
21:08:24 <tdawson> Good to know.  I was wondering about the timeframe for that.
21:08:47 <nirik> it didn't seem urgent... be it will get done.
21:08:53 <tdawson> Yep
21:09:17 <tdawson> #topic General Issues / Open Floor
21:09:35 <michel-slm> I have something
21:09:44 <tdawson> michel-slm: go for it
21:10:05 <michel-slm> For a python39 package that is epel8 only I tried to see what happens if I never have a rawhide branch
21:10:22 <tdawson> Can that be done?
21:10:32 <michel-slm> It seems to work fine, except the code that send notifications choke on every push
21:10:46 <michel-slm> Yeah, you request the repo with pdc only but no branch
21:10:56 <michel-slm> Then create an epel8 branch and push
21:11:27 <nirik> I'm not sure if that will break other things...
21:11:39 <michel-slm> Let's see when f39 branches to see what happens then
21:11:41 <tdawson> Interesting.  That would make the -epel branches more obvious.
21:11:44 <nirik> like mass rebuilds.
21:11:54 <tdawson> oohh ... ya.
21:11:54 <nirik> but it might work perhaps
21:12:10 <michel-slm> Right. Happy to just add a rawhide branch if this cauSes more serious issus
21:12:31 <michel-slm> But if it doesn't in a few months i'll see about fixing the notification issues
21:13:14 <michel-slm> It's for python39-pyelftools-epel by the way
21:13:36 <Eighth_Doctor> .hello ngompa
21:13:38 <zodbot> Eighth_Doctor: ngompa 'Neal Gompa' <ngompa13@gmail.com>
21:13:45 * Eighth_Doctor is splitting between CentOS board meeting and EPEL meeting
21:13:57 <pgreco> wondering how many of those issues were dealt with during the master/main-rawhide rename
21:14:14 <tdawson> Hello Eighth_Doctor
21:14:44 <michel-slm> Hi Neal
21:15:01 <tdawson> Eighth_Doctor: Not much happening here.  We're in Open Floor if you need/want to bring anything up.
21:16:53 <tdawson> Anything else?
21:17:22 * Eighth_Doctor shrugs
21:17:37 <Eighth_Doctor> I'd like to see us reach out to the DNF team for DNF5 / EPEL 10 stuff soonish
21:17:38 <tdawson> Fun fact - building qt5-qtwebengine on copr, you have to set the timeout higher than the default 5 hours.
21:17:56 <michel-slm> Ouch
21:18:00 <Eighth_Doctor> it's not possible to build webkitgtk in copr :)
21:18:10 <Eighth_Doctor> you can't make the timeout long enough
21:18:10 <gotmax23> michel-slm: You can change the default src.fp.o branch
21:18:24 <gotmax23> e.g. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/epel-release
21:18:30 <michel-slm> gotmax23: good to know, huh... how?
21:18:34 <michel-slm> Just from settings?
21:18:45 <pgreco> tdawson: reminds me of the times I was building devtoolset-7-gcc for armhfp, 48 hours....
21:18:46 <gotmax23> You'll notice that it shows commits from epel9 on the hompage and git clones default to that branch
21:18:48 * gotmax23 nods
21:18:51 <tdawson> Eighth_Doctor: What needs to be talked about for DNF 5 and EPEL 10?
21:18:59 <michel-slm> gotmax23++
21:19:14 <gotmax23> Settings -> Git branches
21:19:41 <Eighth_Doctor> tdawson: the feature ask about more releasever vars
21:19:49 <tdawson> I'm doing just x86_64 on COPR ... I need to see if updating all of qt5 fixes the wayland issue.
21:20:09 <tdawson> Eighth_Doctor: Ahh ... ok.  That would be nice.
21:20:47 <Eighth_Doctor> so that we don't have to have a complicated epel-release stuff for EPEL 10
21:21:00 <gotmax23> How would that work?
21:21:09 * gotmax23 forget the details from the previous discussion
21:21:28 <tdawson> Hi gotmax23
21:21:45 <gotmax23> Hi tdawson
21:23:47 <tdawson> It's gotten fairly quiet.  Anything else for Open Floor?
21:24:50 <tdawson> Are we ok closing the meeting early?
21:24:58 <gotmax23> sure
21:24:58 <michel-slm> I'm good with that
21:25:18 <nirik> fine with me
21:25:29 <tdawson> Thank you all for all your work on EPEL and it's community.  I'll talk to ya'll next week.
21:25:36 <pgreco> see ya next week!
