00:02:56 * | marek is here too 00:03:04 < marek> | hello guys, my first meeting 00:03:05 < knurd> | (in case it's true what mether wrote, but I assume that for now) 00:03:08 < knurd> | hi marek 00:03:19 < knurd> | anyway, how to move on 00:03:21 < f13> | knurd: you mean epel-list?

00:04:28 < dgilmore> | knurd: it seems to be what he does best lately 00:04:32 < dgilmore> | anyways 00:04:40 < dgilmore> | knurd: there is only the one list 00:04:44 < knurd> | ohh :-) 00:04:44 < Jeff_S> | ok, well if he's correct then let's move them to testing (or remove them) 00:04:48 <-- | svahl has quit ("Ex-Chat") 00:04:51 < knurd> | Jeff_S, +1 00:04:54 < marek> | is there any consideration to postpone the announce of EPEL? 00:04:57 < knurd> | what about the other broken deps? 00:05:09 < knurd> | marek, we could do that, but it looks bad 00:05:22 < mether> | dgilmore: i cant really guess that fuse was going to be pushed out before it was 00:05:25 < knurd> | I#d prefer to get EPEL5 in shape now, and annouce EPEL and EPEL5 00:05:26 < mmcgrath> | knurd: I think people have been responsive. 00:05:26 < Jeff_S> | knurd: at first I didn't like the idea of putting them in testing/ but the idea is growing on me 00:05:31 < marek> | better to release good product later, that bad product at time (imho) 00:05:48 < knurd> | marek, yeah, but otherwise we might never release... 00:06:06 < Jeff_S> | mmcgrath: yep, it seems like some people are taking the initiative to get their deps into EPEL 00:06:09 < quaid> | release early, release often :) 00:06:11 < knurd> | Jeff_S, yeah, we should fix everything in testing soon as well 00:06:27 < dgilmore> | knurd: so anything broken needs to get moved into testing 00:06:35 < knurd> | dgilmore, well, I posted to the list 00:06:37 < dgilmore> | which is manual but needs doing 00:06:39 < knurd> | some stuff is in progress 00:06:43 < Jeff_S> | knurd: yes, I don't like having things broken in /testing/ but at least people can see what's there and build on that 00:06:44 < knurd> | dgilmore, yeah, that's manual 00:06:52 < knurd> | dgilmore, if you give me access I can handle it 00:07:22 < knurd> | (in case you are busy with other stuff) 00:07:23 < stahnma> | here now 00:07:30 < dgilmore> | knurd: i can get you setup. or i can do it 00:07:39 * | dgilmore is traveling toomoroow 00:07:54 < knurd> | dgilmore, well, I'd think it might be a good idea if I or someone else gets access 00:08:08 < knurd> | as you and mmcgrath seems to be a bottleneck afaics 00:08:12 < dgilmore> | knurd: :) we will make it happen 00:08:19 < knurd> | dgilmore, k, thx 00:08:31 < knurd> | what about EPEL4? shall we try to fix that up in a similar way? 00:08:49 < Jeff_S> | knurd: yes 00:09:21 < knurd> | I'm busy tomorrow at 18:00 UTC, but I think it could try to fix everything up to then 00:09:55 < knurd> | quaid, could you send the annoucement afterwards? 00:10:25 < knurd> | dgilmore, can you give me access later today or early tomorrow? 00:10:34 < knurd> | then I'll try to fix everything 00:10:42 < knurd> | dgilmore, but you'd need to adjust the push scripts 00:10:47 < quaid> | knurd: sure 00:10:53 < knurd> | to make sure that all the new stuff from now own goes to testing 00:11:04 < knurd> | otherwise we'll have broken deps soon again 00:11:05 < dgilmore> | knurd: yes 00:11:11 < knurd> | dgilmore, k, thx 00:11:17 < knurd> | anything else regarding this topic? 00:11:33 < mmcgrath> | knurd: one quick question. What exactly are dgilmore and I the bottlenecks of? 00:11:39 < Jeff_S> | well, the yum-related packages I posted earlier 00:11:51 < Jeff_S> | I'd rather have those in the main repo than in testing/ 00:11:54 < knurd> | mmcgrath, not exactly bottlenecks, but you are busy and have lots of load already 00:11:59 < Jeff_S> | but that's just my opinion :) 00:12:04 < mmcgrath> | knurd: what hasn't been getting done? 00:12:22 < knurd> | mmcgrath, it wasn#t meant as offense 00:12:37 < knurd> | but I would have fixed the deps days agao if I would have had access 00:12:42 * | mmcgrath not offended, just confused. We can't branch and build peopels packages for them. 00:12:56 < knurd> | mmcgrath, sure, I meant the moving 00:13:05 < knurd> | I'd preferred to have that done last weekend or so 00:13:06 < mmcgrath> | ahh, well have fun :) 00:13:07 < dgilmore> | knurd: we will need to change mock configs on the builders also 00:13:16 < knurd> | dgilmore, upphs 00:13:21 < knurd> | dgilmore, can you handle that? 00:13:32 < dgilmore> | we will want whats in testing in the buildroot 00:13:36 < knurd> | dgilmore, +1 00:13:39 < dgilmore> | yes 00:13:41 < Jeff_S> | yes 00:13:49 < stahnma> | yes 00:14:19 < knurd> | k, so I'll get acess and fix the broken deps and dgilmore will update the mock configs and the push scripts 00:14:20 < quaid> | sorry, did we pick a time (yet) for official door opening/ 00:14:29 < quaid> | or just be ready to announce when it is ready? 00:14:50 < knurd> | quaid, I'd say we should aim 15:00 UTC 00:15:08 < knurd> | quaid, I'll give you a heads up when I have the deps fixed 00:15:15 < knurd> | does that sound like a plan? 00:15:59 < quaid> | ok 00:16:38 < knurd> | mmcgrath, are you around tomorrow in case I need help and in case dgilmore is traveling? 00:17:06 < mmcgrath> | knurd: yep 00:17:11 < knurd> | great 00:17:17 * | knurd moves on then 00:17:23 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – when to run the spam o magic script – mmcgrath 00:17:33 < knurd> | mmcgrath, could the script run when we push new pacakges? 00:17:42 < knurd> | that's what Extras did/does 00:17:56 < knurd> | that sounds a bit better then just once a week 00:18:03 < knurd> | at least if it isn#t to hard to set up 00:00:19 * | knurd moves on for now, we can get back if needed 00:00:23 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – branch for EPEL if Fedora maintainer does not 00:00:30 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – branch for EPEL if Fedora maintainer does not react – knurd 00:00:40 < mmcgrath> | knurd: the spam-o-matic script? Probably not. It takes over an hour to run right now. 00:00:52 <-- | giallu has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) 00:20:03 < knurd> | mmcgrath, could it just be triggered to run maybe? 00:20:07 <-- | JSchmitt has quit ("Konversation terminated!") 00:20:11 < knurd> | then nobody would have to wait for it 00:20:14 < mmcgrath> | http://git.fedoraproject.org/hosted/fedora-infrastructure.git/scripts/?p=ho… 00:20:20 < stahnma> | any idea why it takes over an hour? Is that normal (I just don't know) 00:20:22 < Jeff_S> | mmcgrath: how many repos is it looking at? repoview takes a few minutes at the most for me 00:20:33 < mmcgrath> | stahnma: not really, I'd have to take a look. 00:20:47 < mmcgrath> | Perhaps we should re-think what we're doing. 00:21:14 < mmcgrath> | we're looking to do more of a "Sorry, we couldn't push this file because of these deps:" 00:21:23 < mmcgrath> | and so they'd stay in needsign. 00:21:27 < mmcgrath> | dgilmore: does that make sense? 00:21:34 < mmcgrath> | s/push this file/push this package/ 00:21:43 < knurd> | mmcgrath, won't we get that with bodhi soon? 00:21:48 < dgilmore> | mmcgrath: yeah 00:22:08 < mmcgrath> | knurd: 'soon' is very misleading. 00:22:10 < dgilmore> | knurd: its not known we we will be able to move that way 00:22:18 < knurd> | k, was just wondering 00:22:28 < dgilmore> | knurd: it will probably be many months 00:22:33 < mmcgrath> | knurd: I have a suspicion it won't be in there until someone steps up and submits the patches. 00:22:47 < knurd> | k 00:23:14 < knurd> | in that case it might be worth to enhance the current push scripts 00:23:33 < stahnma> | brb 00:23:37 < mmcgrath> | stahnma: well it only takes an hour for epel5, epel4 is significantly faster. 00:23:39 < knurd> | k, so back to the current topic 00:23:45 < knurd> | branch for EPEL if Fedora maintainer does not react 00:23:50 <-- | Kevin_Kofler has left #fedora-meeting ( "Bye!") 00:23:54 < knurd> | is https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-July/msg00104.html fine for everyone? 00:23:59 <-- | LetoTo has left #fedora-meeting ( ) 00:24:16 < knurd> | gets a +1 from me 00:24:19 --> | LetoTo (Paul Wouters) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:24:37 < marek> | +1 from my side 00:24:48 <-- | LetoTo has quit (Client Quit) 00:24:53 < Jeff_S> | +1 00:24:55 * | knurd will wait until we get 4 +1 from steering committee members 00:25:05 < dgilmore> | knurd: as long as someone and no 00:25:05 < dgilmore> | more than one month has passed, then the EPEL maintainer of the package 00:25:05 < dgilmore> | must hand primary per release maintainership back to the Fedora 00:25:08 < dgilmore> | maintainer (and become comaintainer, if interested). 00:25:11 < dgilmore> | gahh 00:25:15 --> | LetoTo (Paul Wouters) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:25:24 <-- | LetoTo has quit (Remote closed the connection) 00:25:24 < dgilmore> | that doesnt rub overly well with me 00:25:33 < knurd> | then why didn#t you post to the list 00:25:39 < knurd> | dgilmore, could you do that please 00:25:47 < knurd> | then we'll get to this topic in next weeks meeting 00:26:03 < dgilmore> | i think we simplify it and say if the maintainer wants to work on EPEL then great both people become co maintainers 00:26:04 < stahnma> | I thought that was changed on list, to something like, become comaintainers or something 00:26:18 < stahnma> | dgilmore: +1 00:26:27 * | Jeff_S happy either way 00:26:30 < dgilmore> | otherwise im good with it 00:26:33 < knurd> | dgilmore, can you work out the wording? 00:26:34 < stahnma> | me too 00:26:43 < knurd> | dgilmore, then we'll ACk it next week 00:27:07 < dgilmore> | knurd: sure 00:27:12 < knurd> | dgilmore, tia 00:27:19 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – EPEL announcement -- everything ready? – quaid, all 00:27:23 < knurd> | we discussed this already 00:27:28 < knurd> | did we miss anything? 00:27:48 < stahnma> | do we want some blogs/articles on it? 00:27:55 < knurd> | stahnma, good idea 00:28:05 < stahnma> | I can write up something on opensource.apress.com 00:28:20 < stahnma> | and maybe try to get something into newsforge, if I have time 00:28:31 < knurd> | stahnma, would be great 00:28:41 < knurd> | I'll try to blog about it as well 00:28:58 * | knurd moves on 00:29:02 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – new meeting time? – all (see also 00:29:03 < knurd> | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/NewMeetingTime ) 00:29:29 < knurd> | dgilmore, your times are still missing 00:30:11 < knurd> | stahnma, yours as well afaics 00:30:14 < dgilmore> | knurd: i have not had time to look at it. 00:30:21 < quaid> | huh, weird 00:30:25 < quaid> | how did I get up there? 00:30:30 < quaid> | must be the old numbers :) 00:30:42 < knurd> | quaid, check the history; no idea... 00:30:43 * | quaid thinks they are still good 00:30:44 < Jeff_S> | quaid: I think you edited the page I created and I moved your times over 00:30:47 * | stahnma doesn't really care for any of the times....I'm at my dayjob during the entire open schedule 00:30:50 < quaid> | ok, yeah 00:30:52 < Jeff_S> | but I don't remember :) 00:31:27 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting -- Free discussion around EPEL 00:31:30 < knurd> | anything else? 00:31:35 * | mmcgrath has nothing. 00:31:54 < marek> | I want to ask, what do you think about security response team for EPEL? 00:32:13 < Jeff_S> | any thoughts about those yum-related packages I posted? It'd be nice to get those taken care of for EPEL-4 00:32:15 < dgilmore> | marek: its needed you volunteering? 00:32:30 < knurd> | marek, I'm all for having one, but such issues should be discussed on the list IMHO 00:32:36 < quaid> | yep 00:32:37 < marek> | dgilmore: not yet, just an idea. I want to know what do you think about it 00:32:44 < knurd> | marek, that's for the initial discussion a lot easier than here in the meeting 00:32:48 < quaid> | we should be coordinate with the main Fedora SRT 00:32:48 <-- | k0k has quit (No route to host) 00:32:49 < dgilmore> | Jeff_S: we cant do yum for epel 00:32:50 < marek> | ok, I'll bring it to the list 00:32:58 < Jeff_S> | dgilmore: why not? 00:33:01 < knurd> | Jeff_S, I like the plan, but didn't look at the packages itself 00:33:06 < Jeff_S> | I thought we decided it was needed? 00:33:16 < dgilmore> | Jeff_S: because RHEL is not available in a way yum could use 00:33:40 < stahnma> | Jeff_S: I like what you did. It fixes the gap for people trying to use yum-utils or createrepo on RHEL 4 00:33:41 < dgilmore> | Jeff_S: so if you went to yum install a package from epel and needed RHEL deps your screwed 00:33:52 < stahnma> | ah 00:33:55 < knurd> | marek, many thx 00:34:10 < knurd> | dgilmore, yum is mainly needed for mock afaik 00:34:10 < quaid> | dgilmore: but ... wouldn't you just get a list of deps and could go up2date them? 00:34:21 < knurd> | or am I missing something here? 00:34:22 < dgilmore> | quaid: you could but thats ugly 00:34:32 < mmcgrath> | cobbler has yum deps (which was how we started talking about it) 00:34:32 < Jeff_S> | dgilmore: it is not there to become the system update tool for RHEL (although people could do that if they really wanted) -- but this will let people build things which rely on yum, yum-utils, etc. 00:34:39 < dgilmore> | up2date the package from epel direct 00:34:46 < quaid> | k 00:34:53 < mmcgrath> | hink in that case, yum will just have to be another tool on RHEL4, and not one they can update their system with. 00:34:57 < Jeff_S> | it's not providing any repo files 00:34:59 * | quaid didn't realize up2date in RHEL 4 supported yum repos 00:35:10 < stahnma> | it does....poorly 00:35:20 * | stahnma loves up2date (ducks) 00:35:28 < marek> | yes, but it isn't very good :/ 00:36:01 < dgilmore> | Jeff_S: i feel if its there people will expect it to work as an update tool 00:36:01 < knurd> | Jeff_S, why do we need yum? for mock? for something else? dgilmore's point is valid 00:36:29 < Jeff_S> | currently it was needed to have cobbler (which needs yum-utils, which needs yum) 00:36:44 < Jeff_S> | I think there were some other requests, but I don't recall off the top of my head 00:37:06 < knurd> | Jeff_S, i#d say wwe go without yum for now and look closer at the issues at hand later 00:37:23 < knurd> | even if that means to move mock into testing/4/ for now 00:37:29 < dgilmore> | Jeff_S: we need to be super careful here we need to use the a EVR lower version than CentOS 00:37:40 < stahnma> | I think Jeff_S did that 00:37:41 < mmcgrath> | perhaps we should document it very well in the yum config files. 00:37:51 < mmcgrath> | which, by default, would point to nothing (not even epel) 00:37:54 < Jeff_S> | dgilmore: yes, I did that 00:37:58 < dgilmore> | an d we need to make sure people understand they can not use itto keep there RHEL box up2date 00:38:04 < Jeff_S> | mmcgrath: yep, there is only yum.conf but it doesn't point to any repos 00:38:51 < mmcgrath> | I think thats reasonable. 00:38:55 < Jeff_S> | ok, maybe we need to discuss this more on the list? 00:38:58 --> | rdieter (Rex Dieter) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:39:00 < knurd> | Jeff_S, +1 00:39:16 < stahnma> | +1 00:39:23 < Jeff_S> | the thread was 'packages that conflict with centos?' -- and everyone that responded was positive about including them... 00:40:19 < knurd> | Jeff_S, that afaics seems to become more and more a problem 00:40:24 < knurd> | we discuss stuff on the list 00:40:37 < knurd> | and then suddenly someone raises problems in hte meetings 00:40:45 < knurd> | and the whole discussion restarts 00:40:52 < dgilmore> | Jeff_S: we need tomake sure it does not touch CentOS setups in bad ways 00:40:52 < knurd> | that#s a bit annoying 00:41:08 < dgilmore> | Jeff_S: epel-release has an epel repo file 00:41:19 < mmcgrath> | knurd: I much prefer that to people not showing up to the meeting and commenting on the notes after the fact. 00:41:44 < quaid> | we have to recognize that sometimes people only pay attention when a meeting is happening 00:41:49 < stahnma> | specifically for Yum-based users in epel-release, this could be difficult 00:41:52 < quaid> | because of busyness .. "Wow, it's been a week?!?" 00:41:54 < Jeff_S> | dgilmore: agreed... They all have a lower release number than the centos versions, so a centos-4 machine should never install them in the first place 00:41:56 < knurd> | mmcgrath, maybe, but raising stuff directly when it gets discussed it teven better 00:42:16 < quaid> | knurd: so maybe if someone comes in late, we can quickly decide if the conversation needs to continue ... 00:42:40 < quaid> | knurd: OT -- what do you think about the idea that nothing can leave a list for a vote in a meeting until there is a consensus to vote? 00:42:45 < stahnma> | if they have epel-release isntalled and then install yum, will yum on RHEL try to be an update tool? 00:42:46 < quaid> | is that too much bureaucracy? :) 00:43:21 < knurd> | quaid, liekly :-/ 00:43:24 < Jeff_S> | stahnma: if someone tries to use it as such, yes 00:43:41 < knurd> | quaid, but the idea has some appeal nevertheless 00:43:49 < quaid> | knurd: then we are always going to have that situation ... 00:43:55 < quaid> | maybe a guideline rather than a rule 00:44:04 < knurd> | quaid, the problem at hand would not be solved 00:44:07 < quaid> | but it could be good across _all_ projects/sigs 00:44:08 < dgilmore> | Jeff_S: my main concern is that people dont try use it on RHEL it just wont work there 00:44:09 < quaid> | true 00:44:13 * | quaid did note it was OT:) 00:44:24 < dgilmore> | Jeff_S: we could probably not put a yum.conf in at all 00:44:24 < knurd> | someone that did not take part in the discussion could step up in the meeting and say "hell, no" 00:44:39 < stahnma> | dgilmore: perhaps we should test that 00:44:43 < stahnma> | that might work 00:45:37 < knurd> | anyway, any more stuff to discuss? 00:45:42 < knurd> | or shall I close the meeting? 00:45:47 * | dgilmore needs to go to the colo 00:45:52 < dgilmore> | please clos e 00:46:00 < stahnma> | thanks all 00:46:03 * | knurd will close the meeting in 30 00:46:08 <-- | stahnma has left #fedora-meeting ( "Time for something else....") 00:46:26 * | knurd will close the meeting in 15 00:46:41 < knurd> | -- MARK -- Meeting end

alpine package
by Joshua Daniel Franklin 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Hello, I am a longtime Red Hat Linux / RHEL sysadmin and I am interested in participating in EPEL. After reading a lot of information on the fedoraproject.org website I created a package for alpine, the Apache-licensed successor to pine: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=249365 However, now I think perhaps I was supposed to get a sponsor before submitting a package.

## Here is a first pass for a release announcement. There are two ## important things, in order of priority: what this is and how to find ## it; write short and clear announcement. ## ## Old-time TV announcer style ... If you use enterprise-class Linux (EL) distributions derived from Fedora, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, we have something very exciting for you. Ever find yourself rebuilding a Fedora package for your EL version because it didn't ship with the EL distro? Have you built Perl packages with cpan2rpm and felt, "There must be a better way." Friends, there is. May we introduce ... Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) EPEL is a community of package maintainers working from inside of Fedora. Many are the same people who maintain the Fedora package. Yet, there is plenty of room for new packages and contributors.

bcond_with on RHEL4 missing?
by Patrice Dumas 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Hello, There was discussion about bcond_with not being in RHEL/CENTOS4 and it seems that it is working in the builders, but what should be done to be able to make it work on CENTOS/RHEL4? Otherwise it isn't possible to rebuild a package with a bcond_with on the distro it is supposed to be installed in. I tried a construct like: %if 0%{?rhel} %if "%rhel" <= "4" %define bcond_with %{expand:%%{?_with_%{1}:%%global with_%{1} 1}} %define bcond_without %{expand:%%{!?_without_%{1}:%%global with_%{1} 1}} %endif %if "%rhel" > "4" %bcond_without gfortran %else %bcond_with gfortran %endif %endif but it fails. -- Pat

There are still dependencies for python-imaging el5
by Joel Andres Granados 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hi all: Received two automated email (attached) stating that plone depends on python-imaging for el5. python-imaging for el5 terminated from EPEL due to its existence in both RHEL5 Client and Server. Additionally the mail states that the broken dependency is only valid for ppc, as I don't see the other arch listed. Does the plone spec in EPEL have to change? Does the python-imaging in RHEL5 need modifying of some sort? Does python-imaging in EPEL/el4 need modifying (some tag I don't know of)? Or is there some black voodoo magic that is done to fix this? Regards. -- Joel Andres Granados

Maintaining vpnc and NetworkManager-vpnc for EPEL
by Kyle Gonzales 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hello! I contacted the current Fedora maintainers of vpnc and NetworkManager-vpnc. For vpnc, the author was glad to have me assist. For NetworkManager-vpnc, there was no response from the author for several days now. How do I get started in getting these packages into EPEL? I can do builds for both RHEL4 and RHEL5. -- Kyle Gonzales <kyle.gonzales(a)gmail.com> Tech blog at http://techiebloggiethingie.blogspot.com/

here are the broken dependencies in EPEL 5 as they appear in my tree from yesterday. let me know if anything looks wrong, or if you would rather i didn't post this report, or if you think notting saw into the future when he named the spam-o-matic script, or if mmcgrath is part of a conspiracy to make it seem like notting can see into the future. :) rob.
