Check the logs for more information. 16:08:12 but yeah, we could punt again 16:08:20 Proposal: Defer this decision until January... 16:08:27 ok I'm here 16:08:37 I'm fine with punting until January 16:08:42 +1 to defer 16:09:32 I'm fine with deferring 16:09:40 I've already expressed my opinion, too 16:09:51 on #1646 that is 16:10:21 #agreed Defer a decision on ticket 1646 until January (+1: 5, +0:1, -1:0) 16:10:34 #topic #1654 F26 System Wide Change: Enable systemd-coredump by default 16:10:34 .fesco 1654 16:10:35 #link https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1654 16:11:37 someone added a comment about a bug with uid handling 16:11:43 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/coredumpctl 16:11:47 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1401772 16:11:54 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3855 16:12:46 jsmith: An error has occurred and has been logged. Check the logs for more information. 16:14:01 I haven't been following this one very closely. Have the coredumpctl people sorted out the interactions with ABRT yet? 16:14:35 sgallagh: according to the change page, yeah... just disable the abrt thing and have it use systemd-coredump 16:15:21 nirik: It seems like the UID thing still hasn't been resolved -- systemd folks don't want to read /etc/logins.defs at runtime 16:15:35 yeah. 16:15:55 OK, then I'm +1 to moving ahead with this and trusting them to work out the bugs or enact the contingency plan 16:16:48 yeah, I'm +1 to the change also. I am not sure how they can fix the uid thing without upstream systemd, but perhaps they can come up with something. If nothing else those people can revert it by enabling the abrt thing. 16:17:25 Agreed. Not 100% happy with the way things are now, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. +1 from me. 16:17:40 +1 16:18:56 paragan, Rathann: Thoughts? 16:19:55 Sorry I was reading the Change page, did not get enough time to read about this change before but I see I am fine with this change provided issues will get fixed soon, so +1 16:20:10 as far as I understand, coredumpctl doesn't work due to bugs at the moment 16:20:44 Rathann: Link to more details? 16:20:45 but I'm +1 16:20:58 jsmith: it's mentioned in the wiki page 16:21:03 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1341829 16:21:17 well, one bug to be exact 16:21:25 and the other issue is what nirik linked 16:21:27 is that the selinux one? 16:21:33 which I would also like to see fixed 16:21:41 yes, it's the SELinux one 16:21:54 yeah. It would have to be fixed. ;) 16:22:25 Definitely would need to be fixed :-) 16:23:09 doh, Michael's comment to disable selinux on workstation is not excellent :( 16:24:21 OK, looks like we're in agreement 16:24:50 #agreed Change is approved, as long as SELinux issue is fixed appropriately (+1:6,+0:0,-1:0) 16:25:06 #topic #1635 F26 Self Contained Changes 16:25:06 .fesco 1635 16:25:06 #link https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1635 16:26:11 Since pagure is down at the moment, I'm assuming that the only outstanding change is: 16:26:11 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AuthconfigCleanup 16:26:13 looks like authconfig cleanup 16:26:19 yeah. :) 16:26:19 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/golang-buildmode-pie 16:26:33 Oh, maybe we have two 16:26:45 Let's tackle the authconfig one first 16:26:59 +1 to autoconfig 16:27:00 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AuthconfigCleanup 16:27:08 +1 to autoconfig 16:27:11 +1 to authconfig 16:27:18 jsmith: An error has occurred and has been logged. Check the logs for more information. 16:27:19 +1 to authconfig -- no brainer 16:27:19 (not aut_o_config) 16:28:39 jwb, sgallagh: Thoughts? 16:29:17 +1 for authconfig, though I suspect it's going to be more complicated than described. 16:29:25 /me suspects he'll end up involved there. 16:29:47 Aye... no doubt it'll be a fair amount of work, even if it's relatively low risk 16:30:52 sgallagh, do you have something particular in mind? 16:31:16 sgallagh, I am not going to do any kind of rewrite, just deleting stuff 16:31:25 t8m: No, it's mostly just general concerns with how interdependent sssd, authconfig and realmd have become. 16:31:34 sgallagh, there will be a new tool written by someone else 16:31:46 Ah, I may have misunderstood the scope, then 16:31:50 sgallagh, basically I do not want to touch anything related to sssd 16:32:06 sgallagh, in the authconfig code - it will be kept 16:32:13 OK 16:32:20 Either way, I think this needs to happen. 16:32:31 (And I already voted +1) 16:32:39 OK, sounds like we're agreed. 16:32:49 Thank you 16:33:02 #agreed The authconfig self-contained change is approved (+1:5,+0:0,-1:0) 16:33:15 Now let's discuss the golang-buildmode-pie change 16:33:29 jsmith: apologies, phone rang 16:33:29 I'm +1 for it, seems straightforward to me 16:33:33 * jwb reads scrollback 16:33:35 jwb: No problem :-) 16:33:41 I note there's nothing about the impact of this change to the performance of the compiled code 16:33:58 Rathann: What compiled code are you talking about? 16:34:04 i think authconfig changes are going to be complicated, but i agree it's a +1 16:34:35 sgallagh: go code compiled into binaries 16:34:47 what else? 16:35:04 Rathann: Sorry, I missed the change in topic. 16:35:10 I thought you were still discussing authconfig 16:36:12 PIE requires an additional register at least on i686 16:36:46 and there's some overhead on other architectures as well 16:36:47 i686 is literally becoming an alternative arch probably at the end of this meeting, and the combination of that + go is small 16:38:14 the will naturally be overhead involved here. both for PIE and the hardened flags. are you concerned the performance impact is going to be more than when we did the same for gcc built code? 16:39:01 I think the security gain is more than worth the performance penalty here, for the record 16:39:14 well I don't have any numbers 16:39:25 but the change page totally ignores this 16:39:54 * nirik notes pagure is back up now. 16:39:57 this change is yet in "ChangeAnnounced" Category 16:40:12 Now that paguire is back up, I see this issue isn't on the official list of things to discuss... 16:40:17 Shall we punt until the next meeting? 16:40:35 * jsmith was going off of the emails sent to the devel list while Pagure was down for maintenance 16:40:54 if we're discussing this early, that gives Rathann the opportunity to raise the question on the list 16:42:33 * nirik nods 16:42:55 OK, let's punt then. 16:43:32 #agreed Wait until next meeting to vote on golang-buildmode-pie issue, so that Rathann can solicit more feedback on the mailing list. 16:43:47 #topic Chair for 06 Jan meeting 16:44:16 i can chair 16:44:20 In last week's meeting, we decided to cancel the next two meetings due to the end of year, and pick up again in January 16:44:33 #info jwb to chair January 6th meeting 16:44:43 #topic Open Floor 16:44:59 i'd like to bring up the announcement email on i686 i created in the ticket 16:45:11 * nirik was +1 in the ticket to the announcement. 16:45:14 i've gotten a few +1s but we don't have consensus 16:45:29 I added my +1 today -- does that push us over? 16:45:49 i think we need to get this out soon, so i plan on sending the email to devel-announce after we get consensus 16:45:56 jsmith: let me lok 16:46:10 jwb: That puts us at +5, by my count... 16:46:13 I think I also had a +1 in the ticket, but if not, here it is 16:46:36 jwb: That's +5, not counting your implicit +1 16:46:47 jsmith: you are right. though i have no idea why there are a bunch of duplicate +1s 16:47:08 mine got duplicated too 16:47:11 Me either :-( 16:47:25 Maybe that was addressed in the Pagure maintenance? 16:47:34 there was an error saying that I can't close this ticket because there are dependent tickets open 16:47:43 when I submitted my +1 16:47:46 i'll give people the rest of today in case dgilmore or others want to chime in 16:47:48 https://pagure.io/pagure/issue/1671 16:47:55 I got the same error, Rathann 16:47:59 :) 16:48:15 ok I need to drop off now, sorry 16:48:19 #info Reminder to add yourself to the Fedora Vacations calendar if you plan to be away 16:48:21 thanks for the meeting 16:49:42 Anything else for the open floor? 16:49:58 * jsmith lights the fuse.... 16:51:18 #endmeeting
