19:04:02 <jcajka> alexsaezm: thank you for chairing the last meeting
19:04:15 <alexsaezm> np
19:04:17 <jcajka> Let's wait a minute for others
19:05:41 <jcajka> There is one tagged issue in the tracker.
19:06:07 <jcajka> #topic  Go 1.16 EOL discussion https://pagure.io/GoSIG/go-sig/issue/38
19:06:49 <jcajka> alexsaezm: do you want to introduce the topic?
19:07:22 <alexsaezm> Sure
19:08:06 <alexsaezm> Fedora 35 (and 34) has 1.16 which will go EOL once 1.18 goes live
19:08:30 <alexsaezm> So, if we don't update Fedora 35 to 1.17 or 1.18, Fedora 35 will have a deprecated version of Go
19:08:44 <alexsaezm> there are 3 options as I see it
19:08:57 <alexsaezm> Update to 1.18, update 1.17, and backports
19:09:08 <alexsaezm> I would love to read other opinions
19:09:15 <alexsaezm> about how we can handle this situation
19:10:04 <jcajka> I have been going down the backport path in the past(usually back-porting nearly all the fixes), but the support window was like 3 months max, until the EOL of Fedora
19:11:54 <jcajka> To note most of the backports haven't been too difficult(although they consumed some time) and I can't recall issue that didn't had test case.
19:12:48 <alexsaezm> Initially I thought about backports too, it's something that I did in the past in RHEL so I'm not worried about them because it's not going to be a huge jump in versions for a very long time, but I was wondering if that's ok for Fedora
19:14:30 <jcajka> I think it is fine.
19:15:52 <alexsaezm> So, my idea would be: every single new 1.18/1.17 release, I will check for CVEs and try to backport them
19:16:07 <alexsaezm> sounds good?
19:16:53 <jcajka> it sounds good to me
19:17:51 <alexsaezm> thanks, I'll update the issue and the bug
19:18:10 <alexsaezm> so others can talk about it
19:18:17 <jcajka> thanks
19:20:10 <jcajka> There is on more tagged issues. So open floor be it.
19:20:18 <jcajka> #topic Open Floor
19:21:14 <alexsaezm> I pushed updates for F34/35/36 last week. 1.18rc1 gave me issues in arm7hl but they are fixed now
19:22:07 <jcajka> thank you
19:22:37 <alexsaezm> my pleasure
19:23:29 <jcajka> I have got bit ill and fall behind on my plans on updating the README and other bits, I plan to catch up to it in a week.
19:25:04 <alexsaezm> thanks :D
19:25:27 <jcajka> I hope I haven't missed anything :D
19:26:01 <jcajka> I guess if there are no more topics, this will be a shorter meeting.
19:26:14 <alexsaezm> nothing else from my side
