There is one mschwent had, but also one mmcgrath had setup... 00:04:39 < knurd> | but the one from mschwendt looks way better 00:05:10 < knurd> | nirik, did mschwendt install it as a cron job somewhere? 00:05:18 < smooge> | potty break 00:05:18 < knurd> | I thought he just kicked it manually 00:05:24 < nirik> | no idea. I haven't seen it run... 00:05:28 < nirik> | I can mail him and ask. 00:06:18 < knurd> | nirik, feel free to mail him, but I'd prefer to know first if there is a script running somewhere alreday :/ 00:06:20 < smooge> | the one that mmcgrath installed I think was broken and I was trying to get some time to fix it.. which only came up now ;(. So mschwents is better 00:06:47 < knurd> | smooge, do you have access to the machined wher the old script ran? 00:07:01 < knurd> | or shall we just ask mschwendt to install his somewhere? 00:07:20 < knurd> | he likely has permissions to do so 00:07:52 < smooge> | no I don't mmcgrath sent out an email a while back 00:08:02 < smooge> | with the script in it. 00:08:20 < nirik> | http://mschwendt.fedorapeople.org/extras-repoclosure-modified-20080115.tgz is mschewnts script 00:09:26 < knurd> | so, how to move on? ask mschwendt to install is? nirik, or do you want to handle that? you likely have the needed permissions as well 00:09:42 --> | mdomsch (Matt_Domsch) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:10:11 < smooge> | mdomsch, has permission to. he can do anything :) 00:10:17 < nirik> | sure, I can ask him if we can just run it on the buildsys box, or what. 00:10:27 < knurd> | nirik, k, thx 00:10:38 --> | JonRob (purple) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:10:40 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL SIG Meeting | next testing -> stable move | knurd | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/NextTestingStableMove 00:10:50 < knurd> | is prepared; docs were imrpoved as well 00:11:06 < knurd> | the whole preparation can be done in about 10 or 15 minutes 00:11:15 < knurd> | maybe even less with a quick machine 00:11:31 < knurd> | any questions? otherwise I'll quickly move on 00:11:37 --> | choke (Colby Hoke) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:11:50 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL SIG Meeting | KojiAndBodhiForEpel | mmcgrath | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/KojiAndBodhiForEpel 00:12:00 < nirik> | sounds good to me. 00:12:01 < knurd> | no mmcgrath, no Jeff_S thus likely no news 00:12:08 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL SIG Meeting | broken dep reports go to the list | mmcgrath ? | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc 00:12:16 < knurd> | discussed already, thus skipping this 00:12:23 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL SIG Meeting | fill the steering committee | all | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc 00:12:46 < knurd> | smooge, +1 for you becoming a steering committee member 00:13:08 < nirik> | +1 here. 00:13:19 < knurd> | but I think we need to have more +1 from at least 3 or four other steering committee members 00:13:24 --> | stahnma (Michael Stahnke) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:13:32 * | stahnma arrives 00:13:35 * | quaid is here too 00:13:38 < knurd> | thus I suppose we need to wait another week or two before it becomes official 00:13:40 < knurd> | ohh 00:13:45 < knurd> | okay, htere are two more 00:13:53 < knurd> | hi quaid, hi stahnma 00:14:06 < stahnma> | g'day 00:14:20 < knurd> | quaid, smooge, nirik and I just say "smooge, +1 for smooge becoming a steering committee member" 00:14:23 --- | choke is now known as c_hoke 00:14:23 * | smooge waits to see if he is cool enough to sit with at the big kids table 00:14:26 < quaid> | smooge for steering committee? +1 00:14:26 < stahnma> | +1 00:14:35 < knurd> | k, it's official now 00:14:39 * | quaid is a little kid in a booster chair 00:14:43 < knurd> | welcome to the stering committee smooge 00:14:44 < stahnma> | welcome to the big kids table 00:15:00 < knurd> | k, that makes seven again 00:15:06 < knurd> | I mentioned it on the list already 00:15:15 < knurd> | someone else wants to leave sooner or later 00:15:20 * | knurd is that someone else 00:15:38 < knurd> | I can stay around and help, but I'd like to get a more free time for RPM Fusion 00:15:49 < knurd> | and some fresh ideas for EPEL would help as well 00:15:59 --- | stickster_afk is now known as stickster 00:16:13 < knurd> | thus I'd suggest we elect a new chairmen over the next two weeks/in the next meeting 00:16:18 --- | c_hoke is now known as c_hoke_ 00:16:23 < quaid> | I wonder if any of the RHTers who deal with RHX would be interested 00:16:31 < knurd> | any volunteers for that job? 00:16:46 < knurd> | quaid, I haven't seen much from them yet 00:16:56 * | mmcgrath is here now, sorry 00:16:58 * | quaid cannot do it but thinks any of the current and new member dude would be good 00:16:58 --- | c_hoke_ is now known as c_hoke 00:16:59 < knurd> | there was only the zenoss discussions, but that just faded out 00:17:00 * | stahnma doesn't know if he has the time available.... 00:17:13 < quaid> | knurd: that is part of the idea, maybe if they were more involved as leaders ... 00:17:15 < knurd> | nirik do you want to do it? 00:17:26 < quaid> | pile on nirik! 00:17:38 < knurd> | quaid, as I mentioned on the list: we can make the steering committee even bigger if we want to 00:17:44 < knurd> | and if it's good for EPEL 00:17:48 < nirik> | ha. I would do it if no one else wanted the job... ;) If someone did that would be fine with me too...

00:27:35 < smooge> | ok how are we doing for packages etc? 00:27:46 < smooge> | how many are still in waiting to be branched etc? and wish list? 00:27:53 --- | jwb is now known as jwb_gone 00:28:12 < stahnma> | smooge: that sounds like good metrics to have 00:28:18 < knurd> | smooge, we have 1000 srpms now in epel5 + epel5 testing and come close to 2000 rpms 00:28:39 < smooge> | is that src.rpms or combined x.rpms and src.rpms? 00:28:44 < knurd> | waiting to be branched -> there are about 5500 package in fedora rawhide iirc 00:28:59 < knurd> | about 1600 srpms in rhel5 00:29:03 < smooge> | hmmm I counted 4500 src.rpms in fedora rawhide earlier this week 00:29:15 * | nirik should poke ixs and silug again... there are some perl packages I need before I can branch munin... 00:29:32 < knurd> | smooge, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/PackageStatus says: 00:29:33 < knurd> | - 5634 packages 00:29:34 < knurd> | - 9260 binary rpms in devel 00:29:52 < knurd> | but I'm not sure how that's counted 00:30:11 < knurd> | my hope for the long term future for EPEL was: continue as we do 00:30:14 < nirik> | I see 5299 src.rpms in devel right now 00:30:31 < knurd> | and when RHEL6 ships poke Fedora maintainers and build lots of stuff for EPEL 00:30:47 < smooge> | ah I was looking at 8/Everthings/SRPMS directory 00:31:10 < knurd> | smooge, then you missed new pacakges that entered Fedora since F8 was shipped 00:31:19 < knurd> | as those are in the updates repo only 00:31:26 < smooge> | yeah.. 5299 is what I see too. 00:32:40 < smooge> | Ok one thing I would like to look at doing is getting a discussion going on when we move packages from testing to stable. I would like to work on a regular schedule for it so that 'customers' would know that Black Tuesday was coming up or something 00:32:40 < knurd> | some of them make not much sense for EPEL 00:32:46 < knurd> | hunspell-dicts for example 00:33:21 < knurd> | smooge, the dates are: mid months around the 15th for EPEL4 and early each months around the 1st for EPEL5 00:33:29 < smooge> | duh 00:33:35 < smooge> | I am way behind on stuff 00:33:50 < knurd> | tha's quite new; we settled on that one or two meetings ago 00:33:51 < smooge> | ok need to go over the wiki to catch up with stuff. 00:34:15 < knurd> | smooge, np, keeping track of everything in Fedora-land is hard 00:35:02 < knurd> | anything else? 00:35:12 < smooge> | no thats about it. 00:35:32 <-- | kital has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) 00:35:37 * | knurd will close the meeting in 30 00:35:43 < smooge> | I think I will go over the EPEL pages and see what needs to be updated 00:35:46 < smooge> | Oh one second 00:35:49 < smooge> | mirrors 00:36:17 * | knurd waits 00:36:24 < smooge> | I think once we are pushing things regularly and getting more packages.. it would be a good idea to start recruuitiong more mirrors 00:36:34 < smooge> | s/once/now/ 00:36:53 < nirik> | sure, always good... how many do we have now? 00:36:54 < smooge> | how does this usually happen (and am I going over something that is already said?) 00:36:56 * | nirik goes to look. 00:37:00 < knurd> | http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/EPEL/ 00:37:15 < knurd> | there are a few, but more can't hurt 00:37:24 < knurd> | I'm not on the mirror-list 00:37:29 < knurd> | anyone else? 00:38:10 < knurd> | asking on that closed list might be the best start for more mirrors 00:38:19 < smooge> | I think I have a couple of things at the back of my mind. I will try to get them out for the next meeting 00:39:12 < knurd> | smooge, thx; in case of questions with the mirror stuff contact mdomsch; he maintains the stuff on http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org and he should be on the mirror-admins-list 00:39:17 < smooge> | Hmm I need to get john branched. Will go finish up my fedora project activation stuff and work on that 00:39:54 < smooge> | knurd, actually I am also on the list :). They forgot to take me off when I left RH :) 00:40:01 < knurd> | hehe :) 00:40:09 < knurd> | anything else? 00:40:12 * | knurd will close the meeting in 30 00:40:41 * | knurd will close the meeting in 10 00:40:53 < knurd> | -- MARK -- Meeting end 00:40:53 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: Channel is used by various Fedora groups and committees for their regular meetings | Note that meetings often get logged | For questions about using Fedora please ask in #fedora | See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/FedoraMeetingChannel for meeting schedule

rt3 for EPEL
by Xavier Bachelot 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

Hi all, I'm interested in the rt3 for EPEL project. I'm trying to understand who exactly is working on this and what the current status is. And obviously, trying to understand what I can do to help move this project forward. Packages wishlist for rt3 is maintained in another page than the main EPEL wishlist. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/WishList/rt3 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/WishList From the main wishlist, the maintainers of the following packages have been mailed, but they either didn't answer or the wishlist page wasn't updated : perl-Apache-Session perl-Cache-Cache perl-Cache-Simple-TimedExpiry perl-Class-Container perl-Class-MethodMaker perl-DBIx-SearchBuilder perl-Devel-StackTrace perl-Exception-Class perl-GnuPG-Interface perl-HTML-Mason perl-HTTP-Server-Simple-Mason perl-IPC-ShareLite perl-Locale-Maketext-Lexicon perl-Mail-GnuPG perl-Module-Versions-Report perl-Regexp-Common perl-Sort-Versions perl-Test-Deep perl-Text-Wrapper perl-Time-modules perl-Tree-Simple perl-Want The maintainers of the following packages don't participate in EPEL : perl-Calendar-Simple perl-TermReadKey Does anyone want to co-maintain them ? The following packages are missing from the main wishlist : perl-capitalization perl-Class-ReturnValue perl-DBIx-DBSchema perl-ExtUtils-AutoInstall perl-HTML-Scrubber perl-Test-NoWarnings perl-Test-perl-Critic Shall I add these packages to the main wishlist ? What are the next steps ? Is there anything I can do to help ? Regards, Xavier

Old/broken mock in EPEL4
by Michael Schwendt 02 Feb '08

02 Feb '08

Why is an old mock 0.7.2 in EPEL 4 if it is known that it kills /dev after failed builds? Does nobody else use it?

EPEL steering committee future
by Thorsten Leemhuis 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hi all! Remember my mail titled "Do you want to be part of the EPEL steering committee?" from yesterday? https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2008-January/msg00177.html Smooge (Stephen John Smoogen) self-nominated for the job and in todays meeting was accepted as member for the EPEL Steering Committee. Congrats Smooge, I'm sure you'll do a good job. He sort of fills the vacant seat the EPEL Steering Committee. As I mentioned in my earlier mail, another member wants to leave sooner or later. I meant myself with that -- I'm doing the EPEL chairmen job for about one year now (and was FESCo chairmen before that for round about a year as well). It was fun most of the time, but it's time for me to move on and time for fresh blood, new ideas and new people in EPELs lead. I also would like to get a bit more free time to finally get RPM Fusion started (including repos with Fedora-unwanted stuff built for EL + EPEL; if you want to help with that let me know!). IOW: (1) we need a new chairmen and (2) a ideally another member for the EPEL Steering Commitee. In todays meeting nirik and smooge volunteered for the chairmens job. If anyone else is interested speak up; the new chairmen will be elected in the next meeting (20080213 at 18:00 UTC in #fedora-meeting). And also don't be shy if you want to become a member for the EPEL Steering Commitee; just speak up and self-nominate if you are interested in EPEL and want to help get it to the next level! If you can't make the meetings on Wednesdays at 18:00 UTC -- no problem, we can try to find another date and time (and we do most of the work on the list in any case). CU knurd

Refactoring up-imapproxy
by Tim Jackson 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Hi I'm importing up-imapproxy into EL-5. This is a really useful IMAP proxy for anyone with a webmail system (e.g. Squirrelmail) which constantly opens and closes IMAP connections; it caches them and speeds things up. Anyway, the point is that although it is a simple piece of software, the packaging is a bit screwy. The software is generally known as "up-imapproxy" but in some places (internally and externally) is referred to as "imapproxy". Now, this package is already in Fedora, so I could leave things as they are (the Fedora maintainer has pretty much just followed what upstream does), or I can take this one opportunity to tidy things up. Brief overview as currently packaged in Fedora: * Website: www.imapproxy.org * Upstream tarball: up-imapproxy-x.y.z.tar.gz * Upstream references: vary between "up-imapproxy" and "imapproxy" * Package name in Fedora: up-imapproxy * Config: /etc/imapproxy.conf * Daemon: /usr/sbin/in.imapproxyd * Init script: /etc/init.d/imapproxy What I'm *proposing* to do is to patch it up to make it more consistent as follows: * Package name in EPEL: up-imapproxy * Config: /etc/up-imapproxy.conf * Daemon: /usr/sbin/up-imapproxyd * Init script: /etc/init.d/up-imapproxy Any comments either way would be appreciated. Thanks Tim

Do you want to be part of the EPEL steering committee?
by Thorsten Leemhuis 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Hi all! The goal is to do most work to organize EPEL (aka "keep EPEL running and improve it in the long run") on the list and just a bit the meetings; there is also the EPEL mantra "Power to the people with no delay." and "make Steering Committee nearly unimportant" -- those mean in other words: if you want to improve/realize something in EPEL you don't need to be part of the steering committee to realize it; just post to the list, ask for options, act in the open and if you got positive feedback and if nobody yells after a few days consider your plans kind of accepted normally. But EPEL has a steering committee and needs one if it comes to "somebody needs to do a decision how to move forward" situations. The goal was to have seven members in the EPEL Steering Committee, but for some months we were only six: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/SteeringCommittee Another member from the Steering committee plans to leave sooner or later (likely sooner afaics). That means we have two vacant seats now that we should fill. We could do a election for these seats or even do a real Steering Committee election like FESCo does, but I think the number of people that want to join the Steering committee is quite small and the overhead of a election is not worth the trouble. Thus I'd suggest: if you want to be part of the EPEL steering committee then please self-nominate (either a reply in private or on the list; or join the meeting tomorrow). Then we form a new steering committee out of the existing members and those that self-nominated. If the total number of people in the Committee is a bit bigger then 7 in the end we just live with it if that's fine for everybody. Same if it's a bit smaller (like it's now). How much work is it to be on the Steering Committee? Well, the answer depends on the fact how good you'd like to do the job. But here are some of the things that Steering Committee members IMHO should do: - make sure EPEL most contributers and users are happy - make sure EPEL runs well - try to improve EPEL in the long run - do do the above you should try to join the meetings now and then and participate in the discussions on the list Cu knurd

Send a note to the list in reply to this mail (please adjust the subject) and we'll add it to the schedule. You can also propose topics at the end of the meeting itself when "Free discussion around EPEL" comes up. *If your name/nick is on above list*: please give a status update on the list *and* in the wiki on the individual task pages (linked from the schedule page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Schedule ). That way all the interested parties know what up ahead of the meeting; that will avoid long delays and "status update monologues" in the meeting. Thanks everyone! CU knurd
