20:05:28 <tdawson> #topic EPEL Issues https://pagure.io/epel/issues
20:05:29 <tdawson> https://pagure.io/epel/issues?tags=meeting&status=Open
20:06:09 <tdawson> Fairly light on issues this week again.
20:06:15 <tdawson> I'm ok with that. :)
20:06:29 <tdawson> #topic Old Business
20:06:57 <tdawson> EPEL2RHEL - new wording should be done.
20:07:18 <tdawson> We'll see how it goes with the next package that goes into RHEL.
20:08:15 <tdawson> I was able to look at the code, and I think it will be trivial for them to have the the comment happen right when the package is created.  So I'll be working on that.
20:09:04 <tdawson> Thank you to everyone who helped proofreed and get the final version done in time.
20:09:41 <tdawson> I don't have any other Old business on my notes.  Does anyone have any old business they want to bring up?
20:11:14 <carlwgeorge> epel 10 proposal, last week i was asked to split off some of the bikeshedding for the dist tag and other stuff to new threads
20:11:28 <carlwgeorge> first one is here:
20:11:31 <carlwgeorge> #link https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/epel-10-bikeshedding-dist-tag/80510
20:12:32 <carlwgeorge> i plan to make another one for the symlink vs dnf variables approaches for pointing users at the correct minor version repo
20:13:34 <tdawson> Thank you carlwgeorge
20:14:09 <tdawson> I love that the first comment is an "unscientific gut reaction" :)
20:16:04 <tdawson> Anything else for Old Business before we move to Open Floor?
20:16:18 * nirik kinda hates ~s in packages, but only because it's harder to copy/paste them without changing terminal seperators
20:16:42 * carlwgeorge agrees with nirik and hopes he puts that in a comment in the thread :D
20:17:18 <pgreco> ok, looks like I'm in now.. my bouncer was not cooperating
20:17:19 <tdawson> Little bobby droptables ... gotta find that xkcd
20:17:22 <pgreco> .hello
20:17:23 <zodbot> pgreco: (hello <an alias, 1 argument>) -- Alias for "hellomynameis $1".
20:17:32 <tdawson> Hello pgreco
20:18:15 <pgreco> hey, looks like my bouncer is still uncooperative...
20:19:18 <x3mboy> .hello2
20:19:18 <nirik> Take the pill and join the matrix. :)
20:19:19 <zodbot> x3mboy: x3mboy 'Eduard Lucena' <eduardlucena@gmail.com>
20:19:19 <x3mboy> .hello x3mboy
20:19:21 <zodbot> x3mboy: x3mboy 'Eduard Lucena' <eduardlucena@gmail.com>
20:19:44 <tdawson> Hello x3mboy
20:20:26 <tdawson> Looks like that's it for Old Business ...
20:20:26 <x3mboy> Hi tdawson
20:20:38 <tdawson> #topic General Issues / Open Floor
20:21:10 <tdawson> Does anyone have anything for the Open Floor?
20:21:36 <nirik> I think the epel8-modular retirement stuff is all done. (a while ago)
20:22:25 <tdawson> Ya!!
20:22:59 * tdawson puts up a little tombstone.
20:24:12 <davide> I have a couple of minor things
20:24:50 <tdawson> davide: Go for it
20:25:00 <davide> most aspell dictionaries should now be available on epel9, a handful are still in the queue and might end up stalled
20:25:43 <davide> I'm going on a sabbatical starting tomorrow and will be out till May 5, so I'm going to miss a few of these next meetings
20:26:01 <davide> I put this in the Fedora vacation calendar as well
20:26:12 <davide> that's all I had
20:26:49 <tdawson> davide: Thank you for your work in getting all those aspell packages into epel.
20:27:12 <tdawson> davide: And I hope you enjoy your sabbatical.
20:27:25 <carlwgeorge> one minor thing from me, python-twisted was broken in epel9.  i have a build on the way to testing that fixes it.  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2182954
20:27:35 <carlwgeorge> s/was/currently is/
20:28:42 <tdawson> carlwgeorge: Thank you for being so responsive to that.
20:30:32 <tdawson> Anything else for Open Floor?
20:31:35 <tdawson> Looks like we'll get half an hour back.
20:31:55 <tdawson> Thank you all for coming.  And thank you all for all your work on EPEL and it's community.
20:32:01 <pgreco> thanks guys, see ya!
20:32:14 <davide> thanks tdawson!
