16:02:32 <eclipseo> I almost forgot
16:02:52 <eclipseo> nim I have question
16:03:35 <jcajka> #chair eclipseo
16:03:35 <zodbot> Current chairs: eclipseo jcajka
16:07:49 <jcajka> not many people around and no tagged issues
16:08:02 <jcajka> #topic Open Floor
16:09:05 <eclipseo> I wanted to ask abous Golang sack on EPEL8
16:09:22 <eclipseo> How to introduce our macros there so we can build packages
16:09:32 <eclipseo> I need nim for that
16:10:08 <eclipseo> Other than that there's a lot of packages to update, I'll get to that when I have time
16:11:20 <jcajka> eclipseo: cool, does it work for you locally?
16:11:55 <jcajka> or it is just scoping atm?
16:12:19 <eclipseo> i haven't chgeck anything yet
16:13:43 <jcajka> ack, FYI I have been playing with golang built from master branch in the COPR and it can't then be installed in the BR as it is explicitly exluded from it due to the modules/go-toolset, though there might be workaround
16:14:03 <jcajka> ^^ that applies to the EPEL8 target there
16:14:34 <jcajka> hopefully you will not hit something similar on the macros side
16:15:20 <eclipseo> ha yes, i read i need to wait for modules
16:15:26 <eclipseo> several weeks
16:17:30 <jcajka> :), in similar topic, did you tough about Fedora modules in Go context? for the general packaging or just for the compiler?
16:20:52 <jcajka> I'm asking as some folks have been asking about modular Go(compiler) in Fedora, basically more version of Go in one release(not in BR though), but from point of view it seems rather cumbersome especially as you can't install them in parallel
16:21:08 <jcajka> but from my personal point of view
16:32:02 <eclipseo> sorry i was away
16:32:27 <eclipseo> jcajka: I had looked into making modules for popular binary packages
16:32:58 <eclipseo> but several modules would need bootstrap and it would be a bit complacated
16:33:56 <eclipseo> jcajka: I'm not sure several golang compiler is pertinent, Golang is backward compatible, no?
16:34:10 <jcajka> yup, it is my impression too, rather complicated, would multiply "button" pushing, with rather minimal gain
16:35:41 <jcajka> and it should be relatively safe to install newer version of Go from newer releases of Fedora in to the older releases of Fedora and vice versa as it is rather self contained
16:35:55 <jcajka> it=golang compiler
16:36:46 <eclipseo> yeah I agree
16:37:49 <jcajka> I will note it in the BZ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1761410
16:37:58 <jcajka> that should be all from my side
16:40:02 <jcajka> oh.. and to note that there has been security release of Go 2w ago and there is yet one more pre-announced for tomorrow
16:41:52 <jcajka> if there is no other topic we can call it short meeting
16:52:54 * jcajka will end meeting in 3mins
