2024-03-07 17:05:14 <@limb:fedora.im> .hi
2024-03-07 17:05:31 <@limb:fedora.im> Sorry my keyboard is being weird so i switched to my phone 
2024-03-07 17:06:00 <@nphilipp:fedora.im> Me being here is more of a drive-by thing, I have a question about compat package (non-)reviews which I didn’t find the answer for in the docs
2024-03-07 17:06:23 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> Gwyn Ciesla (she/her): exclamation point rather than period for bot commands :)
2024-03-07 17:07:07 <@limb:fedora.im> So I'm not emphatic enough...
2024-03-07 17:07:10 <@nphilipp:fedora.im> But I don’t want to be in the way for more important conversations 😉
2024-03-07 17:07:11 <@limb:fedora.im> !hi
2024-03-07 17:07:12 <@zodbot:fedora.im> Gwyn Ciesla (limb) - she / her / hers
2024-03-07 17:07:37 <@nphilipp:fedora.im> But I don’t want to be in the way of more important conversations 😉
2024-03-07 17:08:08 <@james:fedora.im> nils: If anything important happened here we'd all run away
2024-03-07 17:09:54 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> I think the only thing we have to really discuss right now is the fXX-backgrounds package review exception
2024-03-07 17:09:57 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> !fpc 1340
2024-03-07 17:09:58 <@zodbot:fedora.im> **packaging-committee #1340** (https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/1340):**Review Process Exception for f40-backgrounds**

2024-03-07 17:10:12 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> well, TIL that we don't have that shortcut
2024-03-07 17:10:16 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> oh hey we do!
2024-03-07 17:10:32 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> undocumented shortcuts ftw
2024-03-07 17:10:48 <@james:fedora.im> Indeed ... I was sure that didn't work :)
2024-03-07 17:11:21 <@limb:fedora.im> Or how to type a continuous string of "4" you just need a 2 year old orange cat.
2024-03-07 17:11:50 <@nphilipp:fedora.im> That’s oddly specific
2024-03-07 17:12:16 <@limb:fedora.im> So is he. :)
2024-03-07 17:13:14 <@limb:fedora.im> There should really be a11y settings to catproof a keyboard.
2024-03-07 17:13:38 <@james:fedora.im> I think we can close 1340 ... unless we need/want to vote on documenting a permanent exception?
2024-03-07 17:14:11 <@james:fedora.im> Gwyn Ciesla (she/her): https://www.amazon.com/QQ-Acrylic-Keyboard-Protector-Anti-Cat/dp/B07WWBFL6J
2024-03-07 17:14:11 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> I don't think there's a reason to vote specifically on the permanent exception, I'm pretty sure this is the third time we've approved it
2024-03-07 17:14:19 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> we should just update the doc accordingly
2024-03-07 17:14:24 <@limb:fedora.im> Agreed.
2024-03-07 17:14:52 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> I just figure we should just say it in here that it's officially officially approved for realsies
2024-03-07 17:14:58 <@limb:fedora.im> I have enough cats to justify a dsoftware solution.
2024-03-07 17:15:20 <@limb:fedora.im> 4rills
2024-03-07 17:15:55 <@james:fedora.im> I give my official +1
2024-03-07 17:16:07 <@limb:fedora.im> +1 as well
2024-03-07 17:16:30 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> Carl George: ?
2024-03-07 17:16:44 <@carlwgeorge:matrix.org> just did a `+1` in the ticket
2024-03-07 17:16:48 <@limb:fedora.im> I think we can assume f52-backgrounds won't suddenly include malware or proprietary code
2024-03-07 17:17:02 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> okay
2024-03-07 17:17:24 <@james:fedora.im> !topic Nils question about compat package (non-)reviews
2024-03-07 17:17:31 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> !agreed The package review exception for `fXX-backgrounds` is approved. Again. For real, this time. The documentation will be updated to indicate this. (+5, 0, 0)
2024-03-07 17:17:49 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> yay races :)
2024-03-07 17:17:58 <@nphilipp:fedora.im> Now important business is out of the way… I want to package the current libgit2 as a compat package libgit2_1.7 for EPEL8 (it’s one of the missing deps for rpmautospec). AIUI I don’t need to review it but I’m at a loss how I would then get the repo created – I wouldn’t have a review but or exception ticket to point to.

AIUI I don’t need to review it but I’m at a loss how I would then get the repo created – I wouldn’t have a review bug or exception ticket to point to.
2024-03-07 17:18:29 <@limb:fedora.im> --exception
2024-03-07 17:18:32 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> you use `fedpkg request-repo --exception --no-initial-commit libgit2_1.7`
2024-03-07 17:18:45 <@limb:fedora.im> --beat_me_to_it
2024-03-07 17:18:49 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> (you can also choose to not have `--no-initial-commit` if you don't want to push the history from the original package)
2024-03-07 17:19:16 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> See freerdp2 as an example: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/freerdp2
2024-03-07 17:19:35 <@nphilipp:fedora.im> You mean I can just do it, like that? 🫰
2024-03-07 17:19:41 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> yes
2024-03-07 17:19:46 <@nphilipp:fedora.im> Wow
2024-03-07 17:19:53 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> releng will have to accept the request manually, but after that, that's it
2024-03-07 17:19:54 <@nphilipp:fedora.im> Too easy
2024-03-07 17:20:05 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> the trick is that it requires releng review every time
2024-03-07 17:20:12 <@nphilipp:fedora.im> Aaaaah so I’ll just put a note in the created ticket then
2024-03-07 17:20:16 <@carlwgeorge:matrix.org> super easy, barely an inconvenience
2024-03-07 17:20:21 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> though we _really_ should add a requirement to document the reason for the request
2024-03-07 17:20:43 <@limb:fedora.im> There's at least one releng approver in this convo right now.
2024-03-07 17:20:49 <@limb:fedora.im> True
2024-03-07 17:21:01 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> that way the mysql8.0 mess that happened a few weeks ago wouldn't have happened
2024-03-07 17:21:09 <@decathorpe:fedora.im> hello! sorry for being late.
2024-03-07 17:21:13 <@nphilipp:fedora.im> Yeah if I hadn’t noticed you all having the meeting I’d have poked Carl directly 😁
2024-03-07 17:21:18 <@limb:fedora.im> I hope you have a note.
2024-03-07 17:22:18 <@nphilipp:fedora.im> Okay, I’ll run fedrq and put a note in the request ticket, gotcha. Many thanks!

2024-03-07 17:23:00 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> just keep in mind that choosing whether to have the old git history or not influences the options you pick for `fedpkg request-repo`
2024-03-07 17:23:09 <@zodbot:fedora.im> nphilipp gave a cookie to carlwgeorge. They now have 47 cookies, 13 of which were obtained in the Fedora 39 release cycle
2024-03-07 17:23:16 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> I prefer the old history, but some people don't
2024-03-07 17:23:42 <@nphilipp:fedora.im> Aaah, makes sense
2024-03-07 17:23:59 <@nphilipp:fedora.im> Aaah, makes sense
2024-03-07 17:24:19 <@nphilipp:fedora.im> Content scrolling under the pointer doesn’t help 😂
2024-03-07 17:24:28 <@james:fedora.im> !topic Open Floor
2024-03-07 17:24:42 <@james:fedora.im> Anyone have anthing else they want to talk about?
2024-03-07 17:26:33 <@conan_kudo:matrix.org> Nothing from me.
2024-03-07 17:27:15 <@limb:fedora.im> I want to talk about that too.
2024-03-07 17:28:22 <@limb:fedora.im> Nothing.
2024-03-07 17:30:58 <@james:fedora.im> Okay, I'll give y'all 30 minutes back then
