<@meetbot:fedora.im>

19:00:01

Meeting started at 2024-02-26 19:00:00 UTC

<@meetbot:fedora.im>

19:00:01

The Meeting name is 'Go SIG meeting'

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:00:15

I'm a bit under the weather, but...

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:00:16

!hi

Maxwell G (gotmax23) - he / him / his or they / them / theirs

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:00:38

sorry to hear that!

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:03:25

(I'll wait til :05 for all to join)

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:03:36

!hi

<@zodbot:fedora.im>

19:03:37

Mikel Olasagasti Uranga (mikelo2)

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:05:31

don't know if there is any topic for today

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:05:45

I ws checking last weeks' logs

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:05:53

no that I can see, this can be short

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:06:11

I want to ask something in the open floor but that is low priority

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:06:50

I had the question about potentially moving Go macros and/or go2rpm to Gitlab

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:07:03

+1 from my side

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:07:45

I don't like GitLab's user interface, but it's better than pagure

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:07:53

let's move to the open floor then

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:07:54

!topic Open floor

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:08:40

as I said, and in the same vibe as mikelolasagasti ... I don't like GitLab's, but I am all in

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:09:20

I personally prefer Github or Sourcehut, but Fedora has the SSO support and can sync permissions from the go-sig FAS group

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:09:37

I personally prefer Github or Sourcehut, but Gitlab has the Fedora SSO support and can sync permissions from the go-sig FAS group

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:09:44

The CI situation with Pagure is unfortunately not that great

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:10:08

And I always get nervous about breaking things when changing the Go macros, so I'd like to add some basic testing

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:10:17

just out of curiosity, packit and tmt doesn't cut it for you?

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:10:24

Just one change can break thousands of packages

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:10:25

gotmax23: would it be possible to move go-leaves also to gitlab?

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:10:38

Packit is not supported on pagure.io

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:10:47

And I'm not sure about tmt, but I've always found it very confusing

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:11:07

oh bummer

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:11:49

mikelolasagasti: I would consider that. Currently, it's running on a separate cronjob, but it'd be nice to have it run through Gitlab CI so it's more "open"

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:12:01

That could be a good test case

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:12:15

I would love that

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:12:39

I feel current setup is under your personal control

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:12:43

nothing against it

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:13:08

but having it on GitLab can be more maintainable

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:13:32

Yeah, I would definitely prefer it to be more public/not only controlled by me

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:13:39

will it be like under a organization or a namespace named Go SIG or something like that?

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:13:53

gitlab/fedora/go-sig/$project?

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:14:24

Probably a subgroup of https://gitlab.com/fedora/sigs

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:14:35

https://gitlab.com/fedora/sigs/go or https://gitlab.com/fedora/sigs/golang I guess

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:15:02

We can file a ticket with Infra to create the group if people are on board

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:15:19

+1 to sigs/go

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:15:30

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:16:06

I like the idea a lot :)

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:16:07

!action File an infra ticket to create https://gitlab.com/fedora/sigs/go

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:16:21

!action Move go-leaves to https://gitlab.com/fedora/sigs/go once the group is created

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:17:06

Should we move on to alexsaezm's thing or does anyone have something else to add?

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:18:58

My thing is quite simple. Last meeting was chaired by mikel (thanks a lot) and I saw that we should consider moving the time of this meeting. Last attempt was a year ago if I recall correctly and because of me not knowing better, the poll was... not good. I was going to create another poll and the question is... any suggestions for where I should create it? I have zero idea about which tools we can use that are not a pain and are respectful with the privacy of the users

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:19:13

(I already moved the topic myself :D sorry)

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:20:03

I've used https://whenisgood.net/ but never created one myself

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:20:14

Although I will say that the current time is pretty good for me :)

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:21:30

while late here, I really got used to it and I like it (doesn't interact with other meetings) but apparently it's a the same time as FESCo...?

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:22:19

while late here, I really got used to it and I like it (doesn't interact with other meetings) but apparently it's at the same time as FESCo...?

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:23:15

The FESCO meeting starts at 19:30 UTC I think

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:23:38

We often don't meet the whole hour and only every other week

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:24:44

But if multiple people dislike the current time, we should definitely consider moving it

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:25:07

Then maybe the poll should be: Are you ok with the current time? :D

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:26:02

i'm (and my family) is also used to this slot. I don't mind to change if conflicts with others, but I expect those to speak up to confirm it doesn't work for them

<@salimma:fedora.im>

19:26:04

had a conflict, sorry for missing most of the meeting

<@salimma:fedora.im>

19:26:10

(since FESCo starts in 4 mins, sigh)

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:27:29

https://framadate.org/abc/en/ is also an option, by the way

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:27:53

thanks, I'll check both links

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:28:12

and that's it, we can call it as I don't have anything else. I can prepare a poll and ask it in the mailing list

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:28:29

I actually have one more thing :)

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:28:54

I've been working on creating a script to check licenses for vendored Go packages

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:29:38

https://git.sr.ht/~gotmax23/fedora-scripts/tree/main/item/go-sig/go_vendor_licenses.py is the current version, but I have other changes locally

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:30:41

It uses `askalono crawl` to identify license files and then makes sure each vendored Go module has at least one license file attached to it

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:31:14

that's cool

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:31:15

I'd like to make it so you can run it in the RPM build process and pass a `--verify %{license_tag}` flag to make sure that the current License tag is accurate

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:31:56

It'll also support a file to manually specify license tags in a config file for licenses files that askalono cannot detect

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:32:15

And maybe installing all the vendored license files with %license into the final package

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:32:52

I'm trying to make it possible to do vendoring in accordance with vendoring and licensing guidelines when it's impractical to package all the individual libraries

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:32:53

it would be cool to run it as part as the CI of the packages

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:33:09

like the installatibily test (pretty sure I wrote a typo)

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:33:20

like the installability test (pretty sure I wrote a typo)

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:33:30

testing the scriprt, really useful

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:33:54

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/aerc/blob/rawhide/f/LICENSES.dependencies is what the report currently looks like

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:34:47

It calculates a cumulative SPDX expression that includes licenses of the vendored components and a license breakdown

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:35:02

For now, I'm installing that report file into the package with %license

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:35:22

Anyways, the tooling needs some more work, but just wanted to bring it up

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:36:34

it's really cool

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:36:39

Thanks!

<@zodbot:fedora.im>

19:36:43

alexsaezm has already given cookies to gotmax23 during the F39 timeframe

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:36:58

Also, has anyone heard from eclipseo recently? I'd like to onboard a new maintainer to the aerc package but don't have the necessary permisisons.

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:37:59

now that you say it... no

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:38:52

what kind of permissions do you need?

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:39:00

admin on the package

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:39:28

maybe infra can add you there if he is slow to respond?

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:39:56

He made some commits a few weeks ago

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:40:03

We could add him to https://accounts.fedoraproject.org/group/go-sig/, but I want to avoid overwhelming brand new packagers with access to 2 thousand packages and a bunch of emails

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:40:27

Ah, okay

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:40:46

I sent him a Matrix message and will try email if I don't hear back later this week

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:41:27

The upstream maintainer expressed interest in helping to maintain the package downstream in Fedora which I find exciting

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:41:35

So it'd be really great to have them onboard

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:41:47

oh that's awesome!!

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:42:10

https://src.fedoraproject.org/user/eclipseo on feb 7th

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:42:21

*nod*

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:43:21

I also am working on https://pagure.io/go-rpm-macros/pull-request/62 to make it easier to use upstream Makefiles with the proper compiler flags

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:43:56

It looks Neal gave me some feedback there, so I'll get on that

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:44:22

that would be amazing, some project has really good Makefiles (I was thinking in Delve).

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:44:35

but for some reason I was never able to make it work and I call it

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:44:46

Yeah, it can be tricky

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:45:11

The one wrinkle is that you can't `export GOFLAGS=%{the_new_buildflags_macro}`

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:45:25

GOFLAGS doesn't handle quoted arguments with spaces

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:45:50

So the Makefile/meson config/whatever needs to expose a separate option that's passed directly to the `go build` invocation

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:48:42

Thanks for working on that

<@gotmax:matrix.org>

19:49:20

Sure!

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:50:50

Anyone wants to bring anything else?

<@mikelolasagasti:matrix.org>

19:51:43

not today

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:51:51

Then... we can call it :)

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>

19:51:58

thanks a lot!!!

<@alexsaezm:fedora.im>
