kevin -- 21:00:00 <nirik> #startmeeting 21:00:10 <nirik> #meetingtopic EPEL 21:00:15 <nirik> #topic Init process 21:00:23 <nirik> who all is here for the epel meeting? 21:01:50 * ianweller sits in a chair in the back 21:02:16 <mmcgrath> nirik: I'm around. 21:03:27 <nirik> hey stahnma 21:03:36 <stahnma> howdy 21:03:40 <nirik> I guess dgilmore is still in south america 21:04:13 <nirik> I guess we can go ahead and start and see what we can come up with... 21:04:14 <f13> SA is still the same TZ though 21:04:34 <nirik> true... 21:04:51 <nirik> #topic Prepare for EL-6 builds? 21:05:10 <nirik> I'm not sure where this topic was added from, but it was on the wiki page. ;) 21:05:20 <nirik> I assume we will see some betas we could test with at some point. 21:05:59 <stahnma> I would hope so 21:06:14 <nirik> It might be cool if someone could mass rebuild fedora against it and see how much just builds ok out of the box... 21:06:19 <stahnma> I thikn the question was will we only branch stuff currently in EPEL, or a mass fedora branch? 21:06:22 <stahnma> yeah 21:06:24 <nirik> but that could be a pretty massive undertaking. 21:06:41 <stahnma> probably need dgilmore to weigh in on that one 21:07:03 <nirik> I would say only EPEL5 stuff, but make a lot of noise at the time and ask all maintainers to see if there are any packages they maintain that could/should be branched. 21:07:32 <stahnma> it's probalby not worth discussing too much yet 21:07:34 <nirik> ie, a fedora-devel-announce and lots of blog posts asking people to look at their packages and test build and see if they want to maintain them for epel too 21:07:41 <nirik> yeah, a bit early. 21:08:06 <nirik> anything else anyone wants to weigh in on here? 21:08:25 <nirik> ok, moving along... 21:08:38 <nirik> #topic Koji/Bodhi progress report 21:08:59 <nirik> I guess koji is done... hurray! but bodhi still needs some work... 21:09:28 <nirik> lmacken: you around? any idea on the patches for epel support? looking ok? more work? any eta? :) 21:09:33 <dgilmore> im here. network is flaky 21:09:44 <dgilmore> im waiting on lmacken now 21:09:52 <dgilmore> i need to send him patches for the mash configs 21:09:55 <nirik> welcome dgilmore. :) 21:10:04 <nirik> yeah, I last heard he was going to test some things? 21:10:30 <nirik> thanks for all your work on this... very appreciated. 21:11:11 <dgilmore> EL-6 builds we cant really do anything until redhat releases at least a alpha release 21:11:27 <nirik> yeah, just something to ponder for now... 21:11:48 <dgilmore> we should tag in teh base os's version of all epel pacakges i.e F-11 or F-12 or whatever it is 21:11:57 <dgilmore> and then mass rebuild everything 21:12:21 <nirik> ok, I guess we can move along? unless anything else on this. 21:12:35 <nirik> dgilmore: thats a interesting idea... sync back to fedora versions. 21:12:51 <lmacken> nirik, dgilmore: I did a bunch of EPEL integration hacking earlier this week, and integrated dgilmores patches. The test suite work, and I did a bunch of local testing, but we haven't tried doing an actual push yet. releng1.stg was rebuilt, so now we have to deploy & test 21:13:16 * nirik is happy to assist testing if someone will show him how to run the commands, etc. ;) 21:13:19 <dgilmore> with CVS branches from the base fedorafedora release 21:13:21 <dgilmore> release 21:13:32 * quaid slides in to the back of the room, late 21:13:42 <dgilmore> lmacken ok 21:13:50 <lmacken> yeah, testing will probably consist of tweaking paths and mash configs 21:13:52 <dgilmore> lmaken we have a epel releng box 21:14:01 <nirik> dgilmore: I like that idea off hand. Means we reconverge on fedora versions and only make epel specific changes if needed on top of those... 21:14:01 <smooge> yes I would like to do a mass rebuild when we have a beta fro EL6 21:14:10 * smooge is really slow typing 21:14:12 <dgilmore> nirik: right 21:14:23 <lmacken> dgilmore: cool 21:14:52 <dgilmore> my net keeps dropping in and out 21:14:56 <lmacken> anyway, I'm going to try and get bodhi up and running in staging over the weekend 21:15:11 <dgilmore> lmacken: ok so monday we can look at deploying? 21:15:50 <lmacken> dgilmore: I'm headed to NYC for PDF monday-tues, so I'll be on and off, but I'll do what I can to get it working before then 21:17:03 <dgilmore> lmacken: ok. im flying home from Brazil 21:18:13 <nirik> ok, anything further on this topic? 21:18:58 <smooge> i think its looking like next week there will be more. 21:19:17 <nirik> yeah. 21:19:22 <nirik> #topic Bug Day 21:19:32 <stahnma> I sent out the last update to list 21:19:38 <stahnma> I need to send something out as a reminder 21:19:41 <stahnma> and talk to bugzappers 21:20:01 <nirik> cool. 21:20:04 <stahnma> I think that John was going to give a quick script to query for whiteboard field 21:20:16 <stahnma> I haven't had any time to look into python-bugzilla 21:20:33 <nirik> that could be handy 21:20:34 <lmacken> I pointed him at a bunch of examples last night 21:20:41 <smooge> Ok what was the day for that.. 21:20:56 <nirik> It's July 11th. 21:20:57 <stahnma> bug day? 21:21:16 * Jeff_S waves... better late then never for showing up for the meeting? 21:21:24 <nirik> welcome anytime Jeff_S 21:21:31 <stahnma> I was actually wishing I had added a category for messed up dependencies 21:21:38 <stahnma> we have quite a few bugs wth that 21:21:58 <nirik> we still could. ;) 21:22:07 <stahnma> then I have to re-read the bugs 21:22:16 <Jeff_S> I will be busy on July 11 http://deathride.com/ but I will think about bugs while I ride 21:22:19 <stahnma> and i've been through all of them at least once, many of them more than that 21:22:23 <stahnma> ha 21:22:26 <nirik> Jeff_S: fair enough. ;) 21:22:34 <stahnma> just fix some bugs before then 21:22:59 <nirik> ok, anything else on bug day? 21:23:41 <stahnma> not right now 21:23:45 <stahnma> more next week for sure 21:23:48 <stahnma> and on list this week 21:23:49 <smooge> ok looks like I will be double booked on that.
