I haven't directly, no. ;( 19:45:39 <nirik> I talked to mikem at flock about it and possibly merging it into koji... 19:45:55 <threebean> yeah, his posts indicated he was talking with mikem too 19:46:14 <nirik> I was waiting for his OBS post. ;) 19:46:23 <threebean> ha! me too ;p 19:46:26 <dgilmore> nirik: kinda like i want to do to enable some upstream projects to build in koji 19:46:46 <nirik> dgilmore: yeah. I think this could tie into that very much... 19:46:59 <abadger1999> nirik: Question -- would we be willing to run an obs instance? 19:47:12 <nirik> for those following along the links are: 19:47:13 <dgilmore> abadger1999: no 19:47:13 <nirik> http://miroslav.suchy.cz/blog/archives/2013/08/29/what_is_copr/index.html 19:47:13 <abadger1999> nirik: if we aren't, then we probably need to make that clear to him. 19:47:18 <nirik> http://miroslav.suchy.cz/blog/archives/2013/08/29/copr_and_integration_with_... 19:47:28 <nirik> abadger1999: yeah, it's not clear to me that we have been asked to tho... 19:47:39 <pingou> abadger1999: I thought it had been made clear on the list (maybe another time isn't bad though) 19:47:59 <misc> a obs like instance wouldn't cause various issue with redistribution, patents, etc ? 19:48:49 <nirik> dunno, it could. 19:48:57 <abadger1999> nirik: <nod> I think that we might end up with something in RH running one thing and we have to find someone new to maintain the copr-ppa type thing we have almost complete now or get it merged into koji. 19:49:21 <nirik> abadger1999: yeah, I think a lot of the requirements are now being driven by upstream projects. 19:49:37 <abadger1999> yeah, which is decidedly not what we need it for :-/ 19:49:52 <nirik> well, it could be useful for them too, but yeah, we have other needs. ;) 19:50:16 <nirik> so, I could drop them an email? or would someone else want to open a dialog? or can we invite them to discuss on infra list? 19:51:12 <Smoother1rOgZ> invite them to discuss seems good 19:51:24 <nirik> I'll mail him and mikem and ask for discussion on infra list. 19:52:02 <nirik> ok, anything further? or shall we call it a meeting? 19:52:47 <nirik> ok, thanks for coming everyone. ;) 19:52:49 <nirik> #endmeeting
