The issue that they weren't caught before was that he wasn't looking at packages that had been retired in rawhide 17:10:43 <smooge> so I think we can answer that with a yes.. and we will do it in X days? 17:11:01 <smooge> How does the 22nd of January sound for Orphan Day? 17:11:14 <nirik> sure, sounds fine. 17:11:16 <dgilmore> works for me 17:11:18 <dgilmore> yes 17:11:22 <bstinson> +1 17:11:29 <Evolution> yeah, that's safe enough prior to fosdem 17:11:39 <Evolution> +1 here 17:11:58 <smooge> +1 from me 17:12:32 <smooge> #agreed Next orphan removal day is 2015-01-22 +5 -0 17:13:18 <smooge> #topic Website Cleanup? [Is smooge every gonna start?] 17:14:32 <smooge> well hopefully soon 17:14:40 <smooge> sorry dog needed to go outside 17:15:09 <smooge> I have stuff started to be written, but haven't had enough time without interruptions to concentrate on it 17:15:16 <smooge> same story for everyone else I expect 17:15:38 <smooge> #topic FOSDOM EPEL/CentOS meeting 17:15:58 * nirik will not be there, but will be available via irc/email for questions, etc 17:16:02 <smooge> Evolution, do you know what the current plans on this are? I am expecting it will be BOF instead of a dinner 17:16:17 * maxamillion will not be there either but pending schedules will be available on irc/email 17:16:46 <smooge> and it looks like it will be mostly getting stories from users about what they want in EPEL 17:16:53 <Evolution> smooge: yeah. that's the current idea 17:17:03 <Evolution> 20 people at a dinner isn't meaningful 17:17:15 <Evolution> we're going to attempt to comandeer a bof area 17:18:34 * quaid leaps in for a few minutes 17:19:16 <quaid> smooge: yeah, getting user stories together basically aiui; we need to have a better idea from the CentOS perspective what people want, so we know what to work on, ask for, bargain for, build, etc. 17:19:22 <smooge> ok I expect it will be less than 20 people since possible free food/beer is gone :). BUt then again the Red Hat BOF at USENIX was 40-60 people when 10 listed they would come up 17:19:55 <quaid> the folks who've responded seem to have an investment beyond free-beer :) and this is Belgium, there might be beer anyway :) 17:20:38 <smooge> thanks 17:20:55 <smooge> do you guys have a date for it? 17:21:25 <Evolution> I don't recall seeing a date offhand on the list, but I think we were trying to keep the same schedule as the dinner. 17:21:32 * dgilmore did book fosdem 17:21:45 <dgilmore> I will definitely be there 17:22:44 <quaid> dgilmore: looking forward to seeing you, been a long time 17:22:55 <smooge> and quaid maybe sometime this year we (various committee members) can have a working meeting after some direction? 17:23:06 <quaid> Evolution: that's a good question, I presumed it moved back to Sat afternoon for the event venue? 17:23:16 <smooge> various committee members + CentOS committee members 17:23:19 <Evolution> something to post to the list then. 17:23:26 <Evolution> for clarity at least. 17:23:46 <quaid> smooge: yeah, I asked KB if he wanted us all to have a Hangout before FOSDEM, but when I got the fuller scope on user stories, I realized it would be better after we had something solid to share; one of us will look to arrange a meeting in Feb then 17:24:06 <quaid> Evolution: good point, I don't think it's been addressed, yeah. 17:24:27 <smooge> quaid, thanks 17:25:43 <quaid> smooge: also, if no one objects, I plan to video the meeting itself (non-social parts), we can either share privately or publicly, depending (and I can always turn off the camera for a private story, etc.) 17:25:53 <smooge> ok I don't have anything I would like to pose at the meeting beyond the generals "What is it being used for? Where are these people and how do we communicate with them better? etc" 17:27:29 <Evolution> certainly on the plan to ask. 17:27:49 <dgilmore> quaid: it has been 17:29:41 <smooge> ok so next EPEL meeting could we firm up on everything that is going to happen then? We can work on a followup later 17:30:54 <Evolution> I might propose that we cancel the meeting for the 30th, as that's fosdem 17:31:04 <smooge> OK will do so 17:31:21 <smooge> since basically 3 out of 5 members aren't available 17:31:54 <smooge> #info 2015-01-30 meeting is cancelled due to FOSDEM and 3 out of 5 members being there versus available. 17:32:21 <smooge> #topic python3x proposal 17:32:43 * nirik has marked to look at that, but haven't had time yet 17:32:56 <smooge> so there has been a proposal on the list about how to package up python3x items. 17:33:10 <smooge> I have only looked at it and went "wow.. thats going to be a pain in the ass..." 17:33:58 <smooge> also followed by f*ck interpretive lanugages and "wtf can't we all just use perl4 and be happy." 17:34:52 <smooge> so what I am going to ask is that the packages be built together in a copr for viewing 17:35:27 <smooge> that way everyone will have an idea if it will work and how it might not work 17:36:17 <smooge> nirik, dgilmore does that sound useful or waste of time idea on my part? 17:36:35 <nirik> an example python and package could be usefull yeah. 17:36:53 <dgilmore> smooge: having osmething to look at would be useful 17:37:02 <ni -- Stephen J Smoogen.

I'm not sure even what package we are talking about...17:11:09 <smooge> .whoowns perl-XML-TreePP17:11:10 <zodbot> smooge: kanarip17:11:39 * nirik looks17:11:46 <nirik> .branches perl-XML-TreePP17:11:48 <zodbot> nirik: el5 el6 epel7 f20 f21 master17:12:02 <smooge> the email was about the above which he is sole maintainer of. I don't mind keeping him but since he is busy making someone a comaintainer makes sense17:12:23 <nirik> they seem to own the epel7 branch17:12:32 <nirik> so, I think they went ahead as they should have.17:12:51 <nirik> You are supposed to ask the fedora maintainer, wait a week, if no answer:: drive on17:13:09 <smooge> https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-December/205902.html17… <nirik> so, I think it all got sorted17:13:50 <smooge> nirik, ah ok.. I did a whoowns which used to say something like epel7 (mmm)17:14:03 <smooge> and it just said kanarip so I thought it was still waiting17:14:05 <nirik> that might be cached.17:14:06 <smooge> my apologies17:14:13 <Jeff_S> So what was the problem? Did the bug just not have the right flag set to get attention?17:15:00 <nirik> I think they just were waiting forever, when the policy says wait a week and then just request it.17:15:10 <Jeff_S> ok17:15:21 <nirik> not sure how to make that any better. ;(17:15:31 <smooge> will put that in a blog list of how to do things in EPEL17:16:00 <smooge> ok any other new business?17:16:09 <Jeff_S> Yeah, I don't think that's a big deal unless it's happening to a lot of requests17:16:59 <nirik> more docs/blog posts on it should possibly help17:18:48 <smooge> I am working on a couple.. I hope to get some time this weekend to get them out17:19:05 <smooge> ok any other business we need to deal with?17:19:19 <smooge> #topic Next Meeting Agenda Items17:19:46 <smooge> Ok please put in anything we want to have in the next meeting or thought about in coming meetings17:19:47 <nirik> there was another person asking about the epel-release permlink again17:19:58 <smooge> yeah.. another roundtuit I need to get on17:20:13 <Jeff_S> ++ :)17:20:34 <smooge> I hope to look at it next week17:20:47 <Jeff_S> Thanks17:21:05 <bstinson> should we brainstorm some topic ideas for the CentOS-EPEL meetup at fosdem?17:21:15 <Jeff_S> bstinson: sure, rub it in...17:22:31 * nirik notes he will not be there, but will be around on irc if needed.17:22:38 <Jeff_S> I've gotta run, thanks all17:22:47 <bstinson> was hoping we could live stream it :) but i'm not sure if that's possible17:23:23 <Evolution> yeah, sadly some of the key players won't be there17:23:28 <Evolution> nirik, smooge, etc.17:24:25 <smooge> yeah.. I think we are going to do better just having a public google hangout or something than try to do something at an event most can't get to17:24:51 <smooge> not that I have been any better with some of the EPEL meetings at Flock/FUDcon when CentOS people couldn't attend17:26:14 <smooge> so lets just say we need to come up with things for those who can make it to talk about and move on17:27:22 <smooge> bstinson, most of the topics I would want to talk about sort of need the rest of EPEL do'ers on to better converse. Otherwise it could end up like my EPIC proposal.. lots of good ideas but no buy-in17:29:08 <bstinson> that makes sense, it would be nice to do a hangout sometime17:29:35 <smooge> ok lets see if we can get that arranged.17:29:57 <smooge> anything else? I think we will lose nirik soon17:31:26 <smooge> #topic Open Flood17:31:36 <smooge> Ok last call on topics and things to talk about.17:31:38 <smooge> Last call17:31:51 <bstinson> nothing here17:31:57 * smooge wonders if Evolution will wake up to those words17:32:09 <Evolution> I'm here17:32:15 <Evolution> I have nothing to contribute, but I'm here.17:32:19 <dgilmore> sorry guys I slept in17:32:46 <smooge> oh man.. I had a whole bar closing thing typed in too17:32:51 <dgilmore> I should be at fosdem17:33:14 <smooge> dgilmore, can you make the EPEL-CentOS meetup?17:33:23 <dgilmore> smooge: should be able to yes17:34:38 <smooge> cool. that should help answer some of the questions about build systems that will come up17:34:59 <smooge> Evolution, do you know whats on kbsingh's mind for the meeting?17:35:17 <Evolution> I believe interoperability.17:35:47 <Evolution> packages that should be in epel coming from sigs, etc.17:36:09 <dgilmore> for me its interoperability and working on finding ways to enable people to contribute to epel via either CentOS or Fedora17:37:10 <smooge> ok I think then that if everything gets recorded we can get some stuff done then17:38:32 <smooge> dgilmore, anything you want in the next meeting?17:39:56 <dgilmore> smooge: we should look at the policy for branching packages from Fedora17:40:37 <smooge> dgilmore, yes I agree. It comes up a lot17:40:49 <dgilmore> It seems many people are not aware of it and quite a lot of people just go and request branches for packages. I had it happen to one of mine recently17:41:32 * nirik wonders if we can somehow automate it.17:41:56 <dgilmore> when emailing the person that branched my package they thought anyone was free to branch any package17:42:12 <dgilmore> nirik: we should find a way to do it17:42:40 <dgilmore> nirik: moving branching into pkgdb should give us a way to do so17:42:43 <nirik> yeah...17:44:02 <smooge> ok so something for me to put on next weeks agenda? Can pkdb fix all our problems?17:44:22 <dgilmore> smooge: its work that is underway17:45:08 <dgilmore> we probably should make sure we get all the policy right then palk to pingu and make sure we automate the checks17:45:33 <smooge> ok so I am not clear on how policy should be worded.. any examples and I can make a pass at something for EPEL?17:46:01 <dgilmore> i think the existing polic is fine17:46:26 <dgilmore> we need to reaffirm it and make sure its visable and people are aware of it17:47:04 <dgilmore> automated enforcement would help with making people aware17:47:31 <smooge> And the exisitng policy is the one you listed in the email yesterday?17:47:51 <dgilmore> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_a_Fedora_package_in_EPEL17:47:53 <dgilmore> correct17:48:13 <dgilmore> packagers can opt out of epel17:48:37 <dgilmore> in which case people can freely request a branch17:49:18 <smooge> and from what nirik said earlier.. if the packager doesn't respond in a week they can branch anyway?17:49:49 <dgilmore> yep17:50:25 <dgilmore> the one thing i think we could add is that sometimes a package really doesnt make sense in epel17:50:35 <dgilmore> and there should be a way to say so17:50:48 <smooge> yeah17:51:20 <smooge> ok I will ponder how to do that and come back next meeting on it17:51:29 <dgilmore> cool17:51:34 <dgilmore> i have nothing else17:51:41 <smooge> ok me either..17:51:47 <smooge> my dog says I need to walk her17:51:51 <smooge> so ..17:51:54 <smooge> #endmeeting -- Stephen J Smoogen.
