Need package remove from repo
by Orion Poplawski 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

I need perl-XML-DOM-0-1.44-2.el4 removed from the EPEL repository - it should not have been released as it replaces and existing EL-4 package.

rt3 requirements
by Bojan Smojver 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

Just a heads-up for anyone wanting to bring rt3 into EPEL 5, attached are the Perl packages I had to pinch from Fedora development in order to build/install RT. No intervention on any of them was needed - they build and install just fine on EL5. -- Bojan

epel-testing can use mirrorlists now
by Matt Domsch 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

The epel-testing.repo files don't use mirrorlist, so they won't get bit right now. But, what strings should we use? How about: repo=testing-epel$releasever&arch=$basearch repo=testing-debug-epel$releasever&arch=$basearch repo=testing-source-epel$releasever&arch=$basearch This is what I've enabled in mirrormanager now. Michael, can you update the epel-testing.repo file to use mirrorlists? Thanks, Matt

Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) Now Open
by Karsten Wade 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

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 one of the high-quality Fedora packages for your EL version because it didn't ship with the EL distro? Friends, there is a new way. 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 version. Yet, there room for new packages and contributors. Currently, around 1000 packages are available, and we've been growing at the rate of several dozen packages every week. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL How to use EPEL: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse You can look for packages here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#WhereIsTheSoftwareRepositoryLocated Looking for a package not in EPEL or other questions? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ

EPEL 4 and 5 branches for fping
by Jarod Wilson 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

I've got a package (zabbix) in EPEL4 and 5 that has an unsatisfied dependency on fping. I've pinged Chris about it, but haven't heard back, and he's listed in the wiki as "unknown" whether he wants to have anything to do with EPEL or not, so I'm assuming he's not particularly interested, in which case I'd like to have fping branched for EPEL4 and 5, and I'll maintain it. Thank you, -- Jarod Wilson jwilson(a)redhat.com

main repos should now be sane
by Thorsten Leemhuis 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

Hi all! I did some moving and cleanups in the master repos. There *shouldn't* be any major broken deps or broken packages anymore (I hope -- I only tested with repoclosure against CentOS now; we'll soon make another run against RHEL; if that turns up anything I'll move it tomorrow in the morning). Most stuff got moved to testing -- you can find a list below. Note that we should aim to clean those deps up there soon as well, because a testing/ repo with lots of broken deps doesn't make much sense IMHO.

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 26 Jul '07

26 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.

(draft) announcement
by Karsten Wade 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

## 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.

python-imaging end of life in cvs
by Joel Andres Granados 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hi All: As python-imaging is no longer needed in EPEL/el given the addition in the RHEL5-Server repo, the issue must be closed. Do I follow http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/PackageEndOfLife or is the CVS stuff just going to be erased? Thx for the info. Regards -- Joel Andres Granados

Log from this weeks EPEL-SIG meeting (20070718)
by Michael Stahnke 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

[12:00] <stahnma> ping dgilmore, Jeff_S, knurd, mmcgrath, nirik, quaid [12:00] * Jeff_S here [12:00] <Jeff_S> hi [12:00] * nirik is only going to be around for the first few minutes... have another meeting I have to go off to. ;( [12:00] <stahnma> ok [12:00] <stahnma> any topics, you need to ring on nirik? [12:00] <stahnma> anyone else around? [12:01] * dgilmore is here [12:01] <nirik> lets see... let me look at the schedule. [12:02] <stahnma> We'll give people another minute or so, and then get started [12:02] <nirik> would like to see the spam-o-matic active if it isn't already. We need those broken deps fixed... [12:02] --> mdomsch has joined this channel (n=Matt_Dom(a)cpe-70-124-62-55.austin.res.rr.com) [12:02] <stahnma> agreed, but it seems much/all of the issues stem from lack of packges [12:03] <nirik> yeah. [12:04] *** You set the channel topic to "EPEL Meeting - broken Deps - Jeff_S". [12:04] <stahnma> Jeff_S: not sure how your name alone got assigned to this, but any updates? [12:04] <Jeff_S> see my email I just sent out - there are still lots of missing deps [12:05] <Jeff_S> I agree with knurd that we should perhaps move them to testing next week if we still don't have a response from the maintainers [12:05] <stahnma> I saw that, do we have any plans for a solution? [12:05] <dgilmore> quaid is likely not around [12:05] <stahnma> ok, mmcgrath is also MIA [12:05] * quaid is here, sorry [12:05] <Jeff_S> if we can run the spammy script at least once more this week, that might help bug people enough to fix things [12:06] <stahnma> is it people fixing their own dependencies though, or is dependencies between other packages? [12:06] <dgilmore> mmcgrath: can you send out a summary of what be broke [12:06] <Jeff_S> but I don't think we should sit around waiting for everything to get fixed, as it may never happen [12:06] <stahnma> Only a week to add/branch/build a lot of packages seems pretty quick [12:06] <mmcgrath> pong [12:06] <mmcgrath> sorry [12:06] <mmcgrath> Sure [12:06] <Jeff_S> stahnma: it seems to me it is missing other people's packages [12:06] <mmcgrath> let me do a run right now (it takes a bit) [12:06] <stahnma> that was the impression I got also [12:06] <nirik> I've found that if you mail maintainers direct with a solution, most of them will do something... I can try and do that some in the next few days. [12:07] <Jeff_S> ie. people may need to step up and co-maintain for epel to get their needed deps [12:07] <nirik> there is some movement to fix bugzilla... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=248765 [12:07] * dgilmore wonders if mmcgrath will take fping :) or should j-rod [12:08] <Jeff_S> dgilmore: here's my list against centos: http://www.sheltren.com/epel/repoclosure/2007-07-18/ [12:08] * nirik packs up to head out. Sorry I got double meeting booked. Feel free to email me or catch me later if there is anything specific folks would like me to help with. [12:08] <stahnma> should we send an update out to the list once again, asking them to branch/update status? I feel like we have done this a number of times already [12:08] <stahnma> bye nirik [12:09] <Jeff_S> stahnma: yes, we have done that already [12:09] --> _blah_ has joined this channel (i=rob(a)216.115.88.10) [12:09] <stahnma> ok, well maybe we talk about the testing solution then [12:10] <dgilmore> i though i had blacklisted nagios from being multilib [12:10] <Jeff_S> I think we need to either do that or drop the broken packages [12:10] <stahnma> dgilmore: what's the feasability of quarentining packages with broken deps? [12:11] <dgilmore> stahnma: its manual process [12:11] <mmcgrath> hmm [12:11] <dgilmore> i.e. move them out of the tree [12:13] <stahnma> so tha't s quite painful? [12:15] <stahnma> any proposed solution? [12:15] <stahnma> should we bring it up on list again? I really don't understand the effort required from infrastructure side to remove broken dep packages. [12:15] <Jeff_S> knurd volunteered to do the work on that if needed [12:16] <stahnma> that's a plus :) [12:16] <stahnma> ok, next topic? [12:16] <Jeff_S> well, can we all agree that something needs to get done before announce? [12:16] <stahnma> +1 [12:16] <Jeff_S> we can discuss specifics on the list [12:17] <Jeff_S> is everyone gone? :) [12:17] <mmcgrath> should I enable a weekly run of the spam script? [12:17] * mmcgrath is running one right now with --nomail to get a list of whats borked. [12:17] <Jeff_S> mmcgrath: I think that would be nice [12:17] *** You set the channel topic to "EPEL Meeting - spam o magic script - mmcgrath". [12:18] <_blah_> weekly? how about daily? :) [12:18] <stahnma> I vote once the kinks are worked out, we enable it [12:18] <Jeff_S> mmcgrath: is it easy to change the script to point to testing/ once we start using that directory? [12:19] <mmcgrath> stahnma: I think the kinks are mostly worked out, Once this thing finishes I'll send it to paste bin (or the list if it takes too long) [12:20] <dgilmore> mmcgrath: id like to see a weekly run [12:20] <Jeff_S> +1 [12:21] <mmcgrath> Jeff_S: yes, it should be pretty easy. [12:22] <Jeff_S> great [12:22] <stahnma> ok [12:22] <stahnma> /topic EPEL Meeting – branch for EPEL if Fedora maintainer does not [12:22] <stahnma> react – knurd [12:22] <stahnma> friggen [12:22] <Jeff_S> :) [12:22] *** You set the channel topic to "EPEL Meeting - branch for EPEL if Fedora Maintainer does not react". [12:23] <stahnma> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies#head-00c9e731bb7bc… [12:23] <stahnma> This is what the List has put together [12:23] <stahnma> do we like it? [12:23] <stahnma> I think knurd wanted to ratify it [12:23] <stahnma> I think it serves it's purpose [12:23] <Jeff_S> works for me [12:24] * stahnma looks around and wonders if anyone else will speak up [12:24] * mmcgrath notes - http://pastebin.ca/624953 <--- spam-o-epel script run on RHEL4 tree [12:24] <_blah_> it isn't what is on the list [12:25] <Jeff_S> https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-July/msg00104.html <-- is that what should be in the wiki? [12:26] <Jeff_S> it looks good to me [12:26] <_blah_> jeff_s: yes, that is the latest from the list. [12:27] * stahnma has the wrong URL? :) [12:27] * stahnma will update the wiki [12:28] <stahnma> with the text from list [12:28] <stahnma> assuming we agree it says the right thing [12:28] <_blah_> stahnma: thanks. that is what needs to be done. [12:28] <Jeff_S> +1 [12:28] <_blah_> i don't get a vote but +1 :) [12:29] <stahnma> any thoughts quaid mmcgrath dgilmore? [12:29] * quaid reads [12:30] <quaid> I'm remiss in finishing the edit oon Guidelines... but it's all language, not details [12:30] <quaid> details seemed fine with me [12:30] <stahnma> ok [12:30] <Jeff_S> sorry, but I need to go! [12:30] <stahnma> ok [12:30] <stahnma> hmm [12:30] <stahnma> we're reaching a very small number here [12:30] <Jeff_S> I think we need knurd to discuss the meeting time anyway [12:31] * stahnma would like to talk about meeting times, but not enough people here.... [12:31] <dgilmore> i dont think we have enough people to make a descison [12:31] <stahnma> (must be a bad time to have a meeting ) [12:31] * stahnma hints [12:31] <Jeff_S> ;) [12:31] <stahnma> mmcgrath: spam-o-matic output looks good [12:31] <Jeff_S> usually this is good, but I've got a lot of stuff that just came up... [12:31] <stahnma> ok, I will move to general discussion and we'll postpone the rest [12:31] <dgilmore> We need to have things branched that are needed [12:32] *** You set the channel topic to "EPEL - general discussion". [12:32] <mmcgrath> stahnma: I expect epel5 to be finished running in a bit [12:32] <stahnma> so dgilmore, are the cvs admins behind on branching, or is it a lack of requests? [12:33] <dgilmore> nirik: has been branching like crazy [12:33] <dgilmore> its a lack of requests [12:33] <stahnma> ok [12:33] <stahnma> that's what I thought [12:34] <stahnma> any thoughts on the RHEL5 server vs RHEL5 client stuff? [12:34] <stahnma> other than, it's a headache [12:36] [470] #php ##php Forwarding to another channel [12:36] [Notice] -ChanServ- [##php] "Welcome to ##php - Help and Discussion; PHP Social channel is at #phpc" [12:37] <dgilmore> no freaking idea [12:37] <dgilmore> we need to find out what Red Hat support will find acceptable [12:37] * mmcgrath shakes head and sighs. [12:37] <dgilmore> which will probably require the skills of quaid [12:37] <mmcgrath> dgilmore: thats probably the best route. [12:38] <dgilmore> before we even think of something we need to make sure its ok [12:38] <_blah_> mmcgrath: odd i tried to diff your spam-o-epel output from mine, and the packages are slightly out of order making the diff pointless. in general they look very similar. [12:39] <mmcgrath> _blah_: thats always fun. I suppose you could sort the output of each first. [12:40] <quaid> dgilmore: sounds like we should stay away from packaging stuff in RHX for now [12:40] <quaid> give them some room to work things out [12:40] <_blah_> riek seems responsive to getting usable RHEL5 Server / Client divides. [12:40] <dgilmore> quaid: possibly yeah [12:41] <dgilmore> quaid: i still want zimbra packaged in a sane fashion [12:41] * stahnma thinks if we can fix Client/Server that would be a great start. RHX can wait a little while...at least official RHX in EPEL [12:41] <dgilmore> and a syncml plugin so i can sync my laptop/desktops/crackberry [12:42] <quaid> dgilmore: let's talk with dhuff about helping him help the ISVs? [12:42] <dgilmore> quaid: sounds good [12:42] --> JSchmitt has joined this channel (n=s4504kr(a)p54B12D6B.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) [12:42] * rdieter sits in the back, shares popcorn with knurd_afk [12:43] * dgilmore puts rdieter to work :) [12:43] <stahnma> anything else? [12:44] <_blah_> stahnma: +1 [12:44] <stahnma> _blah_: ? [12:45] <_blah_> stahnma: RHX can wait. fix Client/Server now. [12:45] <stahnma> oh, I see [12:45] <stahnma> :) [12:45] <stahnma> planning to end meeting now...unless anyone has somethign else to bring up [12:46] <stahnma> next week will include meeting times and revisit of deps [12:46] <stahnma> END in 30 [12:46] * frozty_sa wants to speak to stahnma after meeting has ended [12:46] <stahnma> END in 15 [12:46] <stahnma> frozty_sa: ok [12:47] <stahnma> END MEETING

Self-introduction: Marek Mahiut
by Marek Mahut 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hello all! Just a quick self-introduction. My name is Marek Mahut and I want to help you to build/maintain the EPEL project. I already committed my packages /2 :-)/ into EPEL trees. At daily basis (at work), I'm dealing with problems and maintenance of about 1000 RHEL4/5 stations and I find EPEL project very useful. Any questions are welcome. -- Marek Mahut http://www.fedoraproject.org/ Fedora Ambassador http://www.jamendo.com/

The spam script would help, IMO. 00:06:25 < knurd> | mmcgrath, spot afaik only wanted to build his packages, which should solve some of the deps 00:06:35 < mmcgrath> | knurd: ahh. thanks. 00:06:48 < nirik> | mmcgrath: did the spam-o-matic make a valid run after the invalid one? Or it hasn't made a valid run yet? 00:06:52 < knurd> | mmcgrath, send mschwendt a mail about the script 00:06:58 < knurd> | he really should know the answer 00:07:05 < knurd> | mmcgrath, or shall I do? 00:07:13 < mmcgrath> | I'll ping him 00:07:18 < knurd> | mmcgrath, thx 00:07:34 < knurd> | while we were on the shedule already 00:07:36 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – EPEL annoucement – quiad 00:07:45 < knurd> | so, broken deps not resolved yet 00:07:50 < knurd> | shall we move it one week? 00:07:58 < knurd> | annoucements isn't prepares either afaik 00:08:00 < knurd> | quaid, ? 00:08:21 < quaid> | eh, I put it off because it's not hard to write 00:08:36 < knurd> | hehe 00:08:36 < quaid> | it's not a blocking factor, fwiw 00:08:40 < Jeff_S> | mmcgrath: also if you need help w/ changing the script for epel, I can help 00:09:05 < mmcgrath> | Jeff_S: thanks. 00:09:23 < knurd> | so, move annoucement back by one week as broken deps likely won't get fixed in the next 8 days? 00:09:35 < quaid> | sounds wise 00:09:48 < quaid> | this is one of those "release early, but only when it's not broken" situations 00:09:54 < Jeff_S> | knurd: +1 -- we need to get this sorted out first 00:09:55 < knurd> | agreed 00:09:57 < nirik> | sure. 00:10:11 < knurd> | 20070726 would be the new target then 00:10:39 < Jeff_S> | and maybe we need a big warning on the wiki about pushing stuff to EPEL before deps are there? 00:10:52 * | dgilmore is here 00:10:55 < Jeff_S> | people seem to be assuming that the deps are there just because they are in fedora (extras) 00:10:55 < knurd> | Jeff_S, maybe add something to the faq 00:11:23 < knurd> | that might be the best afaics 00:11:38 < knurd> | hi dgilmore 00:11:46 < nirik> | wish we could block anything with broken deps from pushing. ;( 00:11:58 < knurd> | so, nobody yelled, so 20070726 is the new target then 00:12:09 < knurd> | nirik, bodhi in hte long term :-) 00:12:12 * | knurd moves on 00:12:19 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – push new packages to testing after EPEL annoucement – dgilmore 00:12:24 < knurd> | dgilmore, I added that 00:12:26 < nirik> | true, although bodhi doesn't currently do repoclosure either. ;) 00:12:32 < knurd> | just wanted to make sure we still are in agreement 00:12:43 < knurd> | all new packages after annoucement go to the testing/ dir? 00:12:59 < knurd> | and we hand move stuff over if peole ask for it? 00:13:26 < knurd> | any maybe do a full testing/X > X move some months later (with RHEL 5.1 maybe) 00:13:36 < knurd> | do we agree on that? 00:13:46 * | nirik thinks that sounds good. 00:13:52 < Jeff_S> | +1 00:14:16 < knurd> | dgilmore, is that possible from the infrastrucutre/pushers point? 00:14:23 < dgilmore> | knurd: i said last week I wont spend the time to manually move bits from testing to stable 00:14:33 < dgilmore> | its manual and labour intensive 00:14:44 < knurd> | dgilmore, so what do you suggest as solution 00:14:46 < dgilmore> | i can push everything to testing pretty easily 00:14:55 <-- | XulChris has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) 00:14:58 < knurd> | sure, that's the plan 00:15:01 < nirik> | the only reason we would need anything manual is for security 00:15:06 < knurd> | but what about security fixes? 00:15:06 < dgilmore> | we have no easy way to move things to stable 00:15:24 < knurd> | well, we need a solution 00:15:27 < dgilmore> | how do we know whats security 00:15:39 < knurd> | someone tells us (via the wiki or a e-mail alias) 00:15:42 < dgilmore> | we can easily put things in one location 00:15:56 < dgilmore> | but to move things we have no way to do that 00:16:05 < nirik> | yeah, without a bodhi we need a manual process. ;( 00:16:19 < knurd> | dgilmore, we use the push scripts for another repo 00:16:30 < knurd> | there a simple move and createrepo works 00:16:39 < knurd> | sure, it's a ugly as hell 00:16:42 < nirik> | dgilmore: wouldn't it just be a matter of 'mv testing/foobar.rpm ../5/; createrepo '? 00:16:42 < knurd> | but possible 00:16:51 < nirik> | yeah... ;( 00:16:52 < knurd> | nirik, exactly that is what I mean 00:17:16 < dgilmore> | nirik: sure but you need to do that mv for each package for each arch and SRPMS 00:17:39 < knurd> | dgilmore, sure, but a simple script can do that 00:17:40 < nirik> | yeah. Not fun at all... but beats having no security updates. ;( 00:17:48 < knurd> | and it should not happen that often 00:17:52 < knurd> | nirik, +1 00:18:09 < dgilmore> | what about new packages? 00:18:18 < nirik> | we can ponder on it and see if we can think of a better way to do it? I can't off hand tho. 00:18:20 < dgilmore> | they go to testing? 00:18:21 < knurd> | we could do monthly "make testing become official repo" until EPEL is bigger 00:18:24 < knurd> | dgilmore, yes 00:18:27 < nirik> | new packages and any other udpates go to testing. 00:18:28 < dgilmore> | when do they go stable? 00:18:43 < nirik> | when rhel does a minor bump. 00:18:46 < knurd> | dgilmore, the old plan was to do that with each RHEL minor bump 00:18:54 < nirik> | 5.0 -> 5.1... then we move testing over 00:18:58 < knurd> | but for the start phase it might be better to do it more often 00:00:07 < dgilmore> | people will want new packages immediatly 00:00:21 < knurd> | every month or ever two months maybe? 00:00:43 < knurd> | dgilmore, and when we do what people want we have lots of broken deps 00:00:46 < nirik> | couldn't people who want a new package enable testing? 00:00:47 < knurd> | just look at EPEL now 00:00:52 < knurd> | nirik, +1 00:20:52 < knurd> | EPEL is for EL, not for Fedora -- thus we need to be a bit more carefull 00:20:56 < knurd> | espeially with broken deps 00:21:05 < knurd> | we don't want to scare people away 00:21:13 < knurd> | other opinions? 00:21:21 < dgilmore> | we need new push scripts then 00:21:36 < dgilmore> | we cant easily do what you want with what we have 00:21:56 < knurd> | dgilmore, I'm willing to do that 00:22:08 < knurd> | e.g. move the securty updates from testing to stable 00:22:18 < knurd> | just need access to the repo then 00:22:29 < dgilmore> | knurd: that is nota huge problem 00:22:30 < knurd> | I suppose nirik would be willing to help as well with it 00:22:39 < nirik> | sure. 00:22:42 < dgilmore> | what is is checking for broken deps before doing pushes 00:22:46 < knurd> | if we share the burden then it should work until we get bodhi for epel 00:23:10 < nirik> | dgilmore: now? nothing. :( repoclosure is really slow too unfortunately. 00:23:17 < knurd> | security updates should normally not introduce broken deps 00:23:42 < dgilmore> | nirik: exactly and each time you find something broken you have to start over 00:23:42 < nirik> | for security I would be willing to manually run repoclosure before any push... 00:23:47 < knurd> | that should be a rare prolem 00:23:57 < knurd> | nirik, +1 00:24:06 < knurd> | nirik, or just look at old package <-> new package 00:24:13 < knurd> | that's easier 00:24:14 < nirik> | I think wwoods was working on a way to get repoclosure or something like it going faster. Not sure where that is tho 00:24:20 <-- | lancelan has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 00:24:49 --> | lancelan (Lance Davis) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:25:00 < knurd> | so, deal? 00:25:06 < knurd> | all new packages go to testing 00:25:13 < knurd> | security updates hand-moved over 00:25:23 < knurd> | nirik and I will help with that 00:25:32 < knurd> | and we set up a wiki page or a alias up for that? 00:25:34 < nirik> | so, we need script for moving security updates and mass moving testing on minor release? The other current scripts would work ok for testing itself? 00:25:52 < knurd> | script for moving security updates > +1 00:26:06 < knurd> | mass moving testing > + 0.5 00:26:16 < Jeff_S> | well, the mass move is quite simple 00:26:19 < knurd> | that should not happen that often and likely can be done manually 00:26:24 < knurd> | Jeff_S, agreed 00:26:36 < knurd> | check that all deps are sane in stable + testing 00:26:40 < nirik> | well, one is a more general case of the other. ;) But yeah, not a big deal now. 00:26:44 < knurd> | move everything over from testing, done 00:26:47 < Jeff_S> | but yes, a script for moving security updates would be quite helpful I think 00:27:25 < knurd> | settled then? 00:27:55 * | knurd will take silence as agreement soon 00:27:55 < Jeff_S> | sure :) 00:28:03 < knurd> | so let's move on 00:28:12 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – new meeting time? – all (see also http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/NewMeetingTime ) 00:28:18 * | knurd checks that page 00:28:25 < wwoods> | notting and skvidal and lmacken and I discussed a tool for doing quick single-package depchecking but there's no implementation yet 00:28:37 < wwoods> | no one has committed to implementing it 00:28:47 < knurd> | dgilmore, what would be your preferred time? 00:28:57 < Jeff_S> | wwoods: sounds interesting 00:29:22 < Jeff_S> | looks like everyone who edited the page likes the current time 00:29:33 < dgilmore> | knurd: i havent had time to even think about it 00:30:03 < knurd> | well, let's try to get this settled until next week 00:30:16 < dgilmore> | the times that work best for me are probably no good for knurd 00:30:40 < knurd> | dgilmore, sorry, timezone problem... 00:31:02 < knurd> | maybe I should just leave, that would make things easier :-) 00:31:17 < knurd> | dgilmore, ping me when you got some minutes, maybe we can work something out 00:31:23 * | knurd moves on for now 00:31:37 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – Communication plan for enterprise customers/ISVs/IHVs – stahnma, quaid 00:31:39 < knurd> | any news? 00:31:55 < knurd> | quaid, or just revisit after annoucement? 00:32:35 < knurd> | lala 00:32:48 * | knurd takes that as revisit next week 00:32:52 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – ExcludeArch TrackerBugs for EPEL – notting/knurd 00:32:55 < knurd> | opinions? 00:33:05 < knurd> | + 0.75 for EPEL-Excludearch trackers from me 00:33:21 < knurd> | can't hurt and is not htat much work 00:33:35 < nirik> | yeah, I think we can have epel versions... as long as the arch folks know to look at them. 00:33:44 < dgilmore> | -1 i think we should reuse what exists 00:33:56 < knurd> | dgilmore, that's to confusing 00:33:57 < quaid> | sorry, was writing :) 00:34:08 < Jeff_S> | dgilmore: but won't we have differences between EPEL/fedora? 00:34:12 < nirik> | I don't much care. I think we should track them tho. 00:34:12 < knurd> | dgilmore, as people that might want to fix Fedora stuff would run into EPEl stuf 00:34:31 <-- | tibbs has quit (Remote closed the connection) 00:34:33 --> | tibbs_ (Jason L Tibbitts III) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:34:56 < dgilmore> | having to keep track of things in two places will mean sometimes things get missed 00:35:01 --> | frozty_sa (frozt01100101) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:35:05 < knurd> | dgilmore, we can block the old Fedora bugs with the EPEL specific bug 00:35:09 < dgilmore> | we dont have different trackers for FC-6 and F-7 00:35:32 < dgilmore> | EL-4 and EL-5 are just different versions 00:35:51 < nirik> | what are the current blockers called?

EPEL announcement planed for 20070726
by Thorsten Leemhuis 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hi, just a heads up; the current plan is to officially announce EPEL on Thursday, 26th 2007. Yes, that's one week later that estimated last week, as we need a bit more time to fix all broken deps before the announcement. While at it: Note that new and updated packages for EPEL will go to into EPEL-testing repo after the announcement (¹) and get moved to the proper repo at a later point of time. The plan is to do the move from testing to the proper repo in parallel with the "quarterly" EL-releases like RHEL 5.1. CU knurd (¹) -- except security updates and critical bugfixes of course

The better place for this questions is epel-devel-list (CCed and reply to set), where this has been discussed already in the past days and likely will get discussed further. It's also a topic for tomorrows EPEL SIG meeting (20070718, #fedora-meeting, 17:00 UTC). Join us ;-) BTW, I'd currently prefer to take the python-imaging from RHEL, lower the EVR (by using a "0." at the start of Release), and ship it in EPEL, so users of EL5Server have it available as well, and users of EL5Client or CentOS will get their normal package. Not ideal, but KISS and should work if nobody does stupid things. CU knurd P.S.: /me wonders if mailman will eat the follow-up to epel-devel-list(a)redhat.com P.P.S.:/me bets it will

orphaning/removing packages before launch?
by Bill Nottingham 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

So, I built g-wrap for EPEL-5 because it was needed by gnucash; however, the new version of gnucash does not need it. Is it best to leave it unused in the repo, or to remove and orphan it before we launch? Bill

EPEL, RHEL-5Server and RHEL-5Client...
by Joel Andres Granados 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hi all: Regarding the python-imaging package... What is the matter with including the 1.1.6 version in EPEL/el5? does it break anything? Both Plone and python-docutils (deps in EPEL) use the Image library from PIL and this library does not have any backward compatibility issues. additionally, RHEL5-client has no package that depends on python-imaging. So I say KISS, and ship 1.1.6 with the EPEL/el5. I know it goes against the EPEL policies, but I think its much better that messing with nvr. Regards. -- Joel Andres Granados

Draft of Personal Package Request
by Michael Stahnke 15 Jul '07

15 Jul '07

I updated the draft on the package request email/notification on the wiki. Found currently at : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MichaelStahnke/Draft-EPELPackageRequest Reads as follows: --- Attention $USER Your packages <insert packages here> currently found in Fedora have been requested for inclusion in Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL)[1]. Thus far, while looking at our Contributor Status[2] page, we are unable to determine if you are planning to build your packages for EPEL. If you are interested in building, please follow the Branching Procedure[3] for EPEL. If you maintain several packages (> 2) you can also use a scripted branching method (all packages from a contributor) by using the Scripted Branch Process[4]. If you are not interested in EPEL or don't feel like you have the time to put your packages into EPEL, the EPEL project would like to request that a co-maintainer who is a part of EPEL be added to your packages. To do this, please follow the co-maintainer process[5]. We appreciate your help in readying EPEL for official launch soon. The EPEL team [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/ContributorStatus [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CVSAdminProcedure [4] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MichaelStahnke/ScriptedBranchProcess [5] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Policy/EncourageComaintainership --- Please review and give feedback. Also, take a closer look at [4], as I just wrote that tonight with dgilmore's help. And finally, should [5] reference the Extras namespace? --- stahnma

EPEL, RHEL-5Server and RHEL-5Client
by Konstantin Ryabitsev 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

So, here's a fun situation: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246444 In brief: * python-imaging in EPEL conflicts with python-imaging in RHEL-5Client * upstream (RHEL5) requests to remove python-imaging because EPEL is not supposed to override upstream * removing python-imaging will break dependencies in RHEL-5Server How do we deal with the fact that there is RHEL-5Server and RHEL-5Client and that they have different sets of packages? -- Konstantin Ryabitsev Montréal, Québec

fftw advice...
by Rex Dieter 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

I was going to get to work on building fftw2/fftw3 for epel, and have a small quandry. Fedora names these fftw2/fftw. rpmforge currently names them fftw/fftw3. They feel strongly about it, and users were angered previously at my initial attempts at implementing an Obsoletes/Provides migration path to fftw2/fftw. So, I was leaning toward following rpmforge's fftw/fftw3 naming scheme, but... these modules are currently named fftw2 and fftw in cvs. I'm unaware of any strict rules, but figured it would be at least uncool to create packages whose %{name} != cvs_module. So, to move forward here should I: 1. be uncool and just do it. or 2. request a new package review for 'fftw3' ?? If 2 is the correct answer here, I'm not sure I'm willing to subject myself to the further pain/effort of a review (unless someone chimes in quickly to offer to review it). -- Rex

spam-o-matic
by Dennis Gilmore 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hey All, when testing the spam-o-matic script that sends out notifications for broken dependencies it was accidentally run without the --nomail flag in addition to not being pointed at a RHEL tree. which resulted in messages sent that should not have been. We are terribly sorry for the noise and will try to never ever do it again. Thank you for your patience and understanding Dennis

Getting involved
by Ville Skyttä 08 Jul '07

08 Jul '07

Hello, I'm gradually getting more involved with EPEL, have already built a couple of packages yesterday and will ask branches of some others soon. However, my interest is almost exclusively limited to EL-5 at this time. While I'm not going to make any gratuitous changes to packages that would cause them to not work on EL-4 and will test at least to some extent with it, I probably won't be requesting any EL-4 branches nor really promise to actively maintain packages for it. So, if you want some packages for which I'm listed as the sole EPEL maintainer to appear for EL-4 and volunteer to co-maintain them (for EL-4 only or for later releases too), that's welcome, let me know. One such example is cvsps - it was listed in EPEL 4 broken deps report, required by git-cvs. For EL-5 it has been branched and built and will probably appear in a push soon, but I have no plans to maintain it for EL-4.

I think the RHX folks feel the same; they have no need to duplicate what we do for no reason, and lose the gain of the community . It's going to be a few weeks until we can get a formal set of guidelines between the two groups .

07 Jul '07

Here's a list of broken deps in EPEL-4 i386 and x86_64. If you own a package which has broken deps, please see about having the Fedora maintainer for the dependency build it for EPEL, or if they are not interested you could also become a co-maintainer of the needed package (s). If you notice any errors in the dep checking, please let me know. Thanks, Jeff Broken deps in EPEL-4 i386 (looking at CentOS-4 base/updates and EPEL-4) -------------------- package: JSDoc - 1.10.2-3.el4.noarch from epel4-i386 unresolved deps: perl(HTML::Template) package: SDL_mixer -

05 Jul '07

00:00:02 < knurd> | Meeting ping dgilmore, knurd, mmcgrath, nirik, stahnma, quaid and everyone interested in EPEL -- EPEL meeting in #fedora-meeting now! 00:00:02 < knurd> | Hi everybody; who's around? 00:00:02 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Sig meeting -- Meeting rules at http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Schedule/MeetingGuidelines -- Init process 00:00:02 * | knurd likes to remind people that the schedule and the topic list for todays meeting can be found on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Schedule 00:00:28 * | dgilmore is kinda here 00:00:28 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – broken deps – nirik 00:00:37 < knurd> | any process in that area? 00:00:39 --> | stahnma (Michael Stahnke) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:00:48 < Jeff_S> | knurd: can you add my name to your 'ping' so my client beeps at me when I'm not paying attention? :) 00:01:08 < nirik> | knurd: I posted a EL-4 broken deps report... haven't done much else. ;( 00:01:25 < knurd> | Jeff_S, you can add yourself :) see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Schedule 00:01:40 < nirik> | I think we need to spam maintainers... then I would be happy to try and bug personally people who still have broken deps after a while... 00:01:52 < Jeff_S> | I've meant to run repoclosure or something to verify nirik's results on my EPEL mirror, but somehow haven't got to it yet 00:02:40 < knurd> | well, someone needs to poke maintainers 00:02:43 < nirik> | I finally have local kvm centos4/centos5 virtuals on my laptop, so I should be able to test things and run repoclosure anytime someone wants. 00:02:55 < knurd> | seems otherwise stuff won't get fixed afaics 00:03:05 < knurd> | any volunteers? 00:03:17 < Jeff_S> | yes, I don't have any access to RHEL, but I can run it against CentOS 00:03:38 < knurd> | Jeff_S, that should be enough for the start afaics 00:03:46 * | mmcgrath is looking at spam-o-matic right now actually. 00:04:02 < knurd> | Jeff_S, I'll asign that job to you then? it was nirik's until now 00:04:02 < nirik> | I think most people don't realize they have broken deps... spamming them should help a lot. 00:04:14 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – spam o magic script – mmcgrath 00:04:18 < Jeff_S> | knurd: either way 00:04:20 < knurd> | mmcgrath, any progress? 00:04:31 * | mmcgrath is looking at it right now actually. I'll commit to having this done by the next meeting. 00:04:43 < knurd> | mmcgrath, k, thx 00:04:46 < nirik> | I'd be happy to help, but have been very very busy of late... so might be better if Jeff_S takes charge of it and I can help? 00:04:54 < Jeff_S> | nirik: OK 00:04:57 < knurd> | nirik, Jeff_S, some manual poking will probably thee best 00:05:11 < knurd> | nirik, k, I#ll note that on the schedule 00:05:17 < nirik> | sure, but if we can spam and wait a week I think we will have a LOT less of them... 00:05:24 < knurd> | anything else regarding this? 00:05:26 < knurd> | nirik, +1 00:05:45 < Jeff_S> | I agree, spam, spam, spam, eggs and spam 00:06:01 < knurd> | :-) 00:06:06 < nirik> | could we start running a repoclosure before push and not push anything with new broken deps? 00:06:25 < nirik> | I realize that makes it take longer, but we don't want to add to the problem. 00:06:27 < knurd> | nirik, we'd need to modify the push script to do that 00:06:28 < dgilmore> | nirik: no 00:06:50 < dgilmore> | nirik: the scripts are not very smart 00:06:59 < knurd> | nirik, and it takes some time to run, so it would likely take to long 00:07:12 < nirik> | ok, bummer. ;( 00:07:17 < dgilmore> | each time you find a problem they need to be re ran 00:08:08 < knurd> | I'd assume most problems currently happended due to new packages hitting the repo with missing deps 00:08:14 < knurd> | bodhi should help in the long run 00:08:20 < dgilmore> | seems to be the case 00:08:29 < knurd> | I#d say we wait and see for now and watch it closely 00:08:30 < nirik> | yeah, likely so... missing epel versions of packages that are needed by that package 00:08:31 < knurd> | that okay? 00:08:41 < Jeff_S> | knurd: yes, at the very least it'll let us catch things while still in testing/ 00:08:48 < knurd> | Jeff_S, yes 00:08:53 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – move epel dirs on servers down below stable – knurd 00:09:00 < knurd> | dgilmore didn't like that 00:09:08 < dgilmore> | ------------------------------------------------------------100000000000000 00:09:16 < quaid> | wow, that's quite negative 00:09:17 < knurd> | see discussion in #epel from some hours ago 00:09:22 * | knurd still wants it 00:09:26 < stahnma> | it's so negative, it's like positive 00:09:29 < Jeff_S> | dgilmore just outvoted all of us I think 00:09:43 * | knurd still wants to have room on the server for other stuff in EPEL, whatever we might do in the long run 00:09:48 < nirik> | we can always do it later can't we? 00:09:54 < dgilmore> | we can do that 00:09:57 < knurd> | nirik, no, I#d say either now or never 00:10:07 < dgilmore> | we should not diverge from what fedora has done forever 00:10:08 < knurd> | such a move after annoucing EPEL would be confusing 00:10:11 < mmcgrath> | :) 00:10:17 < quaid> | well, in this caes, dgilmore actually should have more weight 00:10:36 < knurd> | where would we diverge from what fedora ? 00:10:39 < knurd> | I can't see that 00:10:47 < nirik> | knurd: true, but if we announce a 'rolling' version or something weird we can just call it 'epel-rolling' or something... 00:10:51 * | quaid was not making a "big guy to another big guy" joke 00:11:01 < knurd> | nirik, and it would be a mess on the servers 00:11:27 < nirik> | personally I like the plan we came up with for updates, but then that fits the use case I have. I don't think epel can be all things for all people, we just don't have enough resources to meet all needs. 00:11:40 < dgilmore> | knurd: fedora has never put anything into a stable/ dir stable has always been the main dir 00:11:58 < knurd> | dgilmore, I'm fine with giving it another name 00:12:13 < knurd> | dgilmore, and extras was below some others dirs as well 00:12:15 < mmcgrath> | nirik: very true 00:12:21 < knurd> | that just what I want 00:12:29 < knurd> | mmcgrath, I just want to leave path open 00:12:41 < knurd> | for whatever we want to do 00:12:47 < knurd> | in the future 00:13:04 < knurd> | it a easiy move now 00:13:13 < knurd> | and we can't do it later anymore without big trouble 00:13:17 < dgilmore> | nirik: extras was the product as is epel 00:13:24 < dgilmore> | knurd: ^^ 00:13:41 < knurd> | knurd, yeah, but extras was a product of epel 00:13:50 < knurd> | we are noe epel the repo from epel the sig 00:13:58 < knurd> | so epel/epel/ would be fine as well 00:14:07 < dgilmore> | knurd: no 00:14:14 < dgilmore> | knurd: epel is a product 00:14:19 < dgilmore> | extras was a product 00:14:31 < knurd> | I still want this subdir 00:14:34 < nirik> | knurd: what sort of thing are you seeing that might happen later? totally diffrent branches/repo with rolling release? 00:14:36 < dgilmore> | /epel/<release ver> is stable 00:14:43 < knurd> | nirik, yes 00:14:48 < dgilmore> | /epel/testing/<release ver> 00:14:57 < nirik> | couldn't that be under /epel/5-rolling/ or whatever? 00:14:58 < knurd> | nirik, some contrinutors indicated that they might want that 00:15:22 < knurd> | nirik, we could, but I'd prefer a more cleaner directory structure 00:15:29 < knurd> | and I'm gettign more and more frustrated 00:15:37 < nirik> | or /epel/rolling/5/ /epel/rolling/4/ etc. 00:15:52 < knurd> | nirik, yes, and /epel/stable/5 00:15:55 * | mmcgrath thinks anything with the word 'rolling' in it will confuse the heck out of a sysadmin that doesn't contribute to fedora. 00:16:05 < nirik> | don't get frustrated... just trying to figure out what you are trying to do... :) 00:16:06 < knurd> | mmcgrath, rolling is just a example 00:16:36 * | mmcgrath likes /epel/ 00:16:38 < knurd> | nirik, just "mkdir stable; mv * stable/" 00:16:40 < dgilmore> | /epel/5/ is stable 00:16:57 < knurd> | or /epel/epel/ 00:16:57 < dgilmore> | mmcgrath: thats how it should be 00:17:08 < knurd> | some subdirectory 00:17:18 < knurd> | so we can do other stuff later 00:17:20 < knurd> | if we want to 00:17:22 < dgilmore> | mmcgrath: that is consistent with the rest of fedora. it is where people will expect it 00:17:34 < knurd> | it does not hurt if we don't want to do other stuff alter 00:17:47 < knurd> | dgilmore, then it should be under fedora/ 00:18:07 < knurd> | but we only have this epel directory 00:18:20 < knurd> | we need that for everything we might want to do sooner or later 00:18:25 < knurd> | whatever that is 00:18:32 < dgilmore> | knurd: we a are fedora product regardless of where its located on the tree 00:18:50 < dgilmore> | knurd: you are over complicating this 00:18:55 < knurd> | dgilmore, you are 00:00:01 < knurd> | the move is a easy thing now 00:00:03 < knurd> | later it's not 00:00:15 < nirik> | knurd: would rolling (or whatever) also depend on stable? or be totally different? 00:00:17 < dgilmore> | by keeping things the same as fedora as users will expect 00:00:24 < knurd> | nirik, not sure 00:00:34 * | mmcgrath wonders how centos does it? 00:00:50 < nirik> | if it depends on stable, then I think it would make sense to have epel/rolling/ like epel/testing/ 00:00:56 < nirik> | and leave the current dirs. 00:01:00 < dgilmore> | mmcgrath: they work like fedora extras did AKAIK 00:01:04 < mmcgrath> | <nod> 00:01:16 < nirik> | but if it's seperate, then knurd's moving things would make sense... 00:01:32 < knurd> | nirik, I#d say it could be both at the same time 00:01:35 < nirik> | it's hard to plan for something like this if we don't know what it's going to be. 00:01:43 < knurd> | as I said; we don#t know what we'll do in one or two years from now 00:01:52 < knurd> | a subdir leaves room for other things 00:01:56 < knurd> | whatever they look like 00:21:04 < knurd> | and I#d like to leave that path open 00:21:12 < mmcgrath> | why does leaving a subdir out mean we can't do things? 00:21:27 < knurd> | mmcgrath, it looks confusing on the server 00:21:40 < dgilmore> | knurd: no it doesnt 00:22:03 < knurd> | I thin kit will 00:22:09 < nirik> | I think epel/epel/ would confuse people... epel/stable/ might not be too bad, but would as dgilmore says be different. 00:22:33 < quaid> | knurd: I'll point out that the EPEL guidelines are to be "just like Fedora" unless there is a good reason not to, then we document it, etc. 00:22:50 < dgilmore> | nirik: /epel/<release ver> for stable is the sanest approach 00:22:52 < quaid> | so this is adding more than just directory difference, it has to be recorded, taught, etc. 00:23:00 < knurd> | quaid, what has that to do with the guidlines and the directory on the server? 00:23:18 < dgilmore> | knurd: you are wanting to diverge for no good reason 00:23:21 < quaid> | knurd: it sounds like you are asking for something different than the way it is in the rest of Fedora, right? 00:23:25 < quaid> | dgilmore: well ... 00:23:28 < knurd> | quaid, no 00:23:28 < quaid> | dgilmore: he has a good reason 00:23:31 < dgilmore> | we can do what you want without diverging 00:23:34 < quaid> | dgilmore: but he needs to convince others :) 00:23:47 < dgilmore> | quaid: we can do what he wants without changing 00:23:54 < quaid> | ok 00:24:05 < knurd> | quaid, all I want is foo in the url http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/foo/5/ 00:24:18 < quaid> | dgilmore: then what are you arguing against? If it's not changing from Fedora ... 00:24:20 < knurd> | so we can do bar, baz, or whatever later 00:24:38 < knurd> | in one, two or fiver years from now 00:24:38 < mmcgrath> | knurd: why couldn't we do bar and baz later without foo? 00:24:48 < dgilmore> | quaid: moving stable elsewhere is diverging 00:25:02 < dgilmore> | there is no reason to do that 00:25:03 < mmcgrath> | even next week I don't see why /epel couldn't contain 4, 5, and testing/ 00:25:23 < knurd> | mmcgrath, if epele does foo, bar and baz, then you would expect them in different dirs 00:25:33 < mmcgrath> | and they are. 00:25:48 < knurd> | mmcgrath, it's like putting extras/ below core/ 00:25:53 < mmcgrath> | /epel/4 /epel/5 /epel/testing/4 /epel/testing/5 /epel/baz/4 /epel/baz/5 00:25:58 < knurd> | mmcgrath, that would be confusing, wound't it? 00:26:19 < quaid> | knurd: why not leave stable in epel/ and if we need a bar version later, do epel/bar/ ? 00:26:23 < knurd> | mmcgrath, it's like putting extras/ below core/ that would be confusing, wounld't it? 00:26:37 < knurd> | quaid, it's like putting extras/ below core/ that would be confusing, wounld't it? 00:26:39 < mmcgrath> | knurd: not to me but whatever. 00:26:47 < quaid> | not me either 00:27:01 < quaid> | I think it's all convention and habit more than anything 00:27:24 < mmcgrath> | knurd: look at this - http://fedora.mirror.iweb.ca/core/ 00:27:29 < dgilmore> | Lets move on because this is not going to get resolved. 00:27:39 < mmcgrath> | knurd: explain how that is confusing? 00:27:46 * | quaid suggests we take the contention to the list where it belongs :) 00:27:48 < dgilmore> | I will not make the proposed changes so someone else would have to do it and take over pushing 00:28:02 < knurd> | mmcgrath, imagine extras would be at http://fedora.mirror.iweb.ca/core/extras 00:28:23 < mmcgrath> | knurd: I'm not talking about extras or any other thing, core was a product, with versions. Epel is a product with versions. 00:28:37 < mmcgrath> | how is http://fedora.mirror.iweb.ca/core/ confusing to you? 00:28:37 < Jeff_S> | quaid: +1 00:28:37 --> | has joined #fedora-meeting 00:28:49 < knurd> | mmcgrath, but foo or bar just like core and extras might be differnet things ,standing for their ow 00:29:01 < knurd> | mising them in one dire would confuse people 00:29:09 < mmcgrath> | if its a different product, then it's not epel. 00:29:37 < nirik> | epel-hide! New packages every day. ;) 00:29:37 < knurd> | why do you guys suddenly don#t want to leave room for the future? 00:29:47 < knurd> | last week you wanted it 00:29:49 < mmcgrath> | http://fedora.mirror.iweb.ca/core/ 00:29:50 < mmcgrath> | http://fedora.mirror.iweb.ca/core/ 00:29:51 < mmcgrath> | http://fedora.mirror.iweb.ca/core/ 00:29:56 < mmcgrath> | Look at it there, seriously 00:30:02 < mmcgrath> | why couldn't epel look exactly like that? 00:30:02 < knurd> | mmcgrath, s 00:30:52 < mmcgrath> | its got development, test, updates. 00:30:57 < mmcgrath> | it could also have other things if it wanted. 00:31:06 < knurd> | mmcgrath, for me epel is like fedora; and core and extras get different dirs in fedora; epel stable and rolling get differnet dirs 00:31:15 < knurd> | mmcgrath, http://fedora.mirror.iweb.ca/extras/ 00:31:18 < knurd> | it's seperate 00:31:21 < mmcgrath> | for me epel is like core or extras. 00:31:41 < mmcgrath> | a fedora product. 00:32:10 --> | rastaman (purple) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:32:21 < rastaman> | irie bredas 00:32:37 < dgilmore> | mmcgrath: +1 00:32:38 < knurd> | k, so let's forget about it 00:32:45 * | knurd is very very disappointed 00:33:09 < knurd> | just one subdir to leave room for other things 00:33:15 < knurd> | what's so complicated about it? 00:33:20 < mmcgrath> | other things like testing, development and updates? 00:33:26 < knurd> | it doesn#t hurt anyone 00:33:36 < rastaman> | hi, this is rastaman 00:33:39 < mmcgrath> | lets move on. 00:33:45 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – signers group – dgilmore 00:33:51 < rastaman> | how are u doing? 00:34:09 < mmcgrath> | rastaman: we're having an EPEL meeting right now, feel free to participate if you are interested in EPEL. 00:34:09 < knurd> | rastaman, this is a EPEL meeting, not a random chat channel ;-) 00:34:21 < knurd> | dgilmore ? 00:34:24 < rastaman> | ok 00:34:31 < rastaman> | sorry,, see u later 00:34:35 < knurd> | rastaman, np 00:34:39 < knurd> | rastaman, tanks 00:34:46 < rastaman> | yourwellcome 00:34:55 <-- | rastaman has left #fedora-meeting ( ) 00:35:21 * | knurd sometime wonders if this channel should be named fedora-groupmeetings or something 00:35:41 < knurd> | seem dgilmore left 00:35:43 < nirik> | doubt it would matter. ;) 00:35:46 * | knurd moves on 00:35:55 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – branch for EPEL if Fedora maintainer does not react – knurd, _blah_ 00:36:09 < knurd> | _blah_ saind in EPEL that he supports the idea 00:36:13 < knurd> | no other reasction 00:36:17 < knurd> | is the current proposal fine? 00:36:26 < mmcgrath> | seems to have had support 00:36:26 < knurd> | +1 for the current proposal 00:36:41 < dgilmore> | sorry wife came home 00:36:50 < knurd> | dgilmore, np, we can go back to that soon 00:36:59 < nirik> | looks ok to me... +1 here... 00:37:01 < knurd> | other +1 / -1 0 for this? 00:37:20 < knurd> | come on 00:37:23 < mmcgrath> | +1 00:37:25 < knurd> | I#d like to see 4 +1 please 00:37:42 < dgilmore> | im ok with it +1 00:37:48 < knurd> | k, settled then 00:37:48 * | nirik had to go read the last version. ;) 00:37:56 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – signers group – dgilmore 00:38:05 < knurd> | dgilmore? 00:38:15 < knurd> | we had that on the list months ago, but it got forgotten 00:38:25 < knurd> | dgilmore, you are the only one with access to the keys atm? 00:38:32 * | mmcgrath notes notting and jesse are creating a whole signing server solution 00:38:42 < mmcgrath> | but it won't be ready for a while me thinks. 00:38:45 < knurd> | knurd, it#s not only signing, also pushing 00:38:52 < dgilmore> | knurd: mmcgrath has access 00:38:54 < mmcgrath> | ahh. 00:39:22 * | mmcgrath has access but hasn't actually pushed yet :) 00:39:24 < knurd> | dgilmore, well, is that enough or do we want/need more pushsigners 00:39:29 < knurd> | ? 00:39:35 < dgilmore> | knurd: right now its enough i think 00:39:37 * | nirik would be happy to help if someone described the procedure. 00:39:42 < knurd> | dgilmore, k 00:39:44 < mmcgrath> | dgilmore: how was extras done?

00:50:56 < dgilmore> | knurd: its a thursday whihc matches fedora release policy and i think the 26th is too long 00:51:36 < knurd> | dgilmore, I thought Fedora only announces Tuesdays to Thursdays? 00:51:38 * | nirik doesn't much care, as long as we have a clean repo ready. :) 00:51:48 < knurd> | and hta maily due to mirrors be able to sync? 00:51:53 < knurd> | which is not important for us 00:52:35 < dgilmore> | knurd: only Thursdays 00:53:25 < dgilmore> | tuesday freeze for a release the following thursday 00:53:31 < dgilmore> | its cosmetic 00:53:40 < knurd> | dgilmore, FC6 was a tuesday 00:53:47 < quaid> | rockin', np 00:53:48 < knurd> | 20061024 00:53:55 < knurd> | btu whatever 00:54:00 * | quaid recalls there was a reason for that one 00:54:01 < knurd> | I'm fine with Thursday 00:54:04 < dgilmore> | knurd: yes but its been refined since then 00:54:05 < quaid> | but I don't remembe what :) 00:54:47 < knurd> | quaid, is 19 July fine for you as well? 00:55:15 < knurd> | quaid, I'd like to offload the annouce mail and press relase to you because you are a native english speaker 00:55:51 < quaid> | knurd: 19 July is fine, I just adjusted the dates 00:55:56 < knurd> | quaid, k 00:55:57 < quaid> | that means I'll send drafts this weekend to th elist 00:56:02 < quaid> | as for press release... 00:56:11 < quaid> | we really don't have that as part of Fedora stuff 00:56:26 < quaid> | that is, we don't have a way to e.g. release something on Business Wire 00:56:43 < knurd> | some kind of document somewhere would be neough I#d say 00:56:52 < quaid> | just curious if we wanted that level of attention 00:56:59 < knurd> | good question 00:57:00 < quaid> | and I don't think we can get it easily :) 00:57:24 < quaid> | one thing that we can do is write the announcement using the 'press-release' module, so it can easily be translated. 00:57:39 < quaid> | ok, I'm good from here, just being semantic :) 00:57:47 < knurd> | wk 00:57:48 < knurd> | k 00:57:57 <-- | No5251 has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 00:58:02 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting – RHX and EPEL – quaid 00:58:13 < knurd> | quaid, f13 said you know about that stuff? 00:58:25 * | knurd sill does not fully understand RHX 00:58:54 < mmcgrath> | knurd: I'm not sure anyone fully understands it yet :) 00:58:59 < knurd> | :-) 00:59:17 < mmcgrath> | knurd: I think the point is trying to get those RHX applications that could be in EPEL space, in EPEL space. 00:59:22 < knurd> | but I tend to say tha apps that are in RHX should be able to be in EPEL as well 00:59:23 < dgilmore> | knurd: its a place for people to make there software available for rhel with paid support 00:59:38 < quaid> | sorry, back 00:59:38 < knurd> | mmcgrath, +1 00:59:52 < quaid> | ok, here's the status ... 00:59:56 < mmcgrath> | Its mostly just that some of those groups will want to release software somehow and we already have systems in place to do it. 01:00:02 < dgilmore> | we should try to work it so that Free and open source software in RHX is available in EPEL with community support 01:00:14 * | quaid reads opinions 01:00:20 < nirik> | dgilmore: +1 01:00:29 < stahnma> | +1 01:00:35 < knurd> | dgilmore, +1 01:00:42 < quaid> | I doubt we'll have any problem with that idea 01:01:00 < quaid> | I think the RHX folks feel the same; they have no need to duplicate what we do for no reason, and lose the gain of the community 01:01:16 < quaid> | it's going to be a few weeks until we can get a formal set of guidelines between the two groups 01:01:48 < quaid> | mainly it's about the messaging, making sure that it's easy to know the difference between a package from EPEL and one from RHX 01:02:06 < quaid> | I made the point that ISVs can control that best if the ... actually own the package in Fedora :) 01:02:13 < knurd> | :-) 01:02:15 < quaid> | so, I think it's all mainly details 01:02:20 < knurd> | quaid, I just leave it on the schedule 01:02:27 < quaid> | cool 01:02:31 < knurd> | quaid, should we discuss it on the list? 01:02:35 < knurd> | or was this discussion enough? 01:02:46 * | mmcgrath thinks the list would be good so we have something to point isv's at when they come around. 01:02:50 < quaid> | I'll update next week, but it will be a few until we have guidelines 01:02:51 < knurd> | mmcgrath, +1 01:02:52 < mmcgrath> | some might be around now and just not speaking up :) 01:03:05 < quaid> | ok, I can send an update to the list at some point soon 01:03:09 < knurd> | quaid, thx 01:03:18 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting -- Free discussion around EPEL 01:03:22 < mmcgrath> | quaid: are you in a position where you could contact the RHX ISV's and ask them to join th eepel list? 01:03:24 < knurd> | it's getting late 01:03:36 < knurd> | anything else that can't wait till next week? 01:03:46 * | stahnma needs to leave 01:03:48 * | mmcgrath has nothing 01:03:49 < quaid> | mmcgrath: that's for Huff to do, ultimately 01:03:58 * | dgilmore has to travel for work July 16-26 any probably wont be available much during that time 01:04:04 < quaid> | mmcgrath: but also, I am going to hook up with the ISV partner marketing people, so we are hitting them from all angles 01:04:20 < quaid> | I expect actual ISV communication to be slow and trickly 01:04:29 < quaid> | we might want to make a wishlist of who to talk to first 01:04:33 < mmcgrath> | cool 01:04:34 < quaid> | I know dgilmore wants Zimbra :) 01:04:40 < dgilmore> | quaid: zimbra :) 01:04:56 < mmcgrath> | heh 01:04:56 --> | llaumgui (LLaumgui) has joined #fedora-meeting 01:04:57 * | quaid has Alfresco on his wishlist 01:05:14 * | knurd will close the meeting in 30 01:05:29 * | knurd will close the meeting in 15 01:05:44 < knurd> | -- MARK -- Meeting end

by Thorsten Leemhuis 04 Jul '07

04 Jul '07

Hi all, find below the list of topics that are likely to come up in the next EPEL SIG meeting that's scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday at 17:00 UTC in #fedora-extras on irc.freenode.org. Note: I added some new stuff and worked a bit on the Schedule page in the wiki http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Schedule I put some names behind some of the new tasks -- that's not binding for now and will be discussed in the meeting. /topic EPEL Meeting – broken deps – nirik /topic EPEL Meeting – spam o magic script – mmcgrath /topic EPEL Meeting – signers group – dgilmore /topic EPEL Meeting – move epel dirs on servers down below stable – knurd /topic EPEL Meeting – branch for EPEL if Fedora maintainer does not react – knurd, _blah_ /topic EPEL Meeting – finish the wiki docs and remove the warnings by end of may – quaid /topic EPEL Meeting – new meeting time? – all (see also http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/NewMeetingTime ) /topic EPEL Meeting – Communication plan for enterprise customers/ISVs/IHVs – stahnma, quaid /topic EPEL Meeting – ExcludeArch TrackerBugs for EPEL – notting/knurd /topic EPEL Meeting – RHX and EPEL – quaid You want something to be discussed? Send a note to the list in reply to this mail and I'll add it to the schedule (I can't promise we will get to it tomorrow, but we'll most likely will if we don't run out of time). You can also propose topics at the end of the meeting itself. If your name/nick is on above list please give a update. 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! CU thl

viewvc package
by Bojan Smojver 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

At one point during the package review process there was some discussion about viewvc being part of EPEL and the spec has been crafted to enable such things. Any chance this package actually goes in? Original review request here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230512 PS. I'm only asking because I need it, of course :-) -- Bojan

01 Jul '07

00:00 < knurd> | Meeting ping dgilmore, knurd, mmcgrath, nirik, stahnma, quaid and everyone interested in EPEL -- EPEL meeting in #fedora-meeting now! 00:00 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Sig meeting -- Meeting rules at http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Schedule/MeetingGuidelines -- Init process 00:00 < knurd> | Hi everybody; who's around? 00:00 < quaid> | hey knurd 00:00 * | mmcgrath pong 00:00 * | mmcgrath is here 00:00 * | nirik is here. 00:00 * | Jeff_S here, but if I stop responding for a while it is because my connection has dropped out :( 00:01 --> | notting (Bill Nottingham) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:01 --> | ixs (Andreas) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:01 --> | ixs (Andreas) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:01 --> | ixs (Andreas) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:01 < knurd> | no dgilmore, no stahnma 00:01 < knurd> | well, let's start 00:01 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting -- bodhi/testing repo/final repo layout -- nirik/lmacken 00:02 < knurd> | sorry, I still haven't replied to mmcgrath's last mail 00:02 < nirik> | seems it will be a while before we can figure out koji which means it will be a while for bodhi 00:02 < knurd> | looks like it 00:02 < mmcgrath> | All a matter of manpower 00:02 < knurd> | I'm all for announcing EPEL with plague and teh old scripts 00:03 < nirik> | I'm not sure if the -stable and -testing targets will work. It might. 00:03 < knurd> | I can ping dgilmore and mschwendt about it 00:03 < nirik> | I'd sure like to have -testing before announcing... 00:03 < knurd> | nirik, +1 00:03 < Jeff_S> | I agree w/ mmcgrath's email -- let's get going with plague and we'll move to koji/bodhi (ie. testing/) as soon as we can 00:03 < nirik> | could we have it so everything goes to testing and have admins manually move packages to stable? 00:04 < knurd> | nirik, should work as well afaik 00:04 < knurd> | nirik, just a bit more overhead 00:04 < nirik> | that would be more overhead, but then maintainers wouldn't need to remember two steps, no recompile, and admins could check and make sure something should go to stable 00:04 < _blah_> | i don't want to announce until broken deps are resolved. 00:04 < knurd> | _blah_, +1 00:04 < nirik> | not sure if that ability exists tho. dgilmore would know how things are setup. 00:05 < nirik> | _blah_: yeah, +1 00:05 < knurd> | _blah_, that's why there is a "make sure repo is in good shape" on the schedule 00:05 < mmcgrath> | I started to look at the spam-o-matic script. 00:05 < Jeff_S> | blah, I'm trying to get epel mirrored locally so I can check out deps, etc. although I'm having lots of fun trying to find a "current" mirror to rsync from :) 00:05 < _blah_> | knurd: maybe i should look closely at the schedule :) 00:05 < mmcgrath> | http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=hosted/mash;a=blob_plain;f=utils/spam-o-mat… <-- script 00:05 < ixs> | knurd: just for the record. epel should work fine with plague... we're doing exactly that internally right now. 00:05 < knurd> | mmcgrath, shall I add this to the schedule to make sure we don#t forget it? 00:05 < nirik> | _blah_: are you the one who posted the borken deps to the list? how did you generate? centos? rhel? 00:05 < mmcgrath> | Jeff_S: yeah thats a little strange the issues you've had. 00:06 < mmcgrath> | knurd: spam-o-matic? yeah 00:06 < _blah_> | jeff: i'm using mirrorservice.uk, but who knows what the lag is there. 00:06 < knurd> | ixs, sure, the push scripts are the problem 00:06 < knurd> | mmcgrath, k 00:06 < ixs> | knurd: sure. but that#s not the build issue, it#s a deployment issue. 00:06 < _blah_> | nirik: rhel5+all channels+epel 00:06 < knurd> | ixs, sure, but without the scripts pushing is hard and a lot of work 00:06 < knurd> | I know that from another repo ;-) 00:06 < Jeff_S> | mmcgrath: sorry, I'll bring that up in #epel later :) 00:06 < nirik> | cool. I could run centos4/centos5 repoclosure here pretty easily too... could check against your output. 00:07 < knurd> | so, what about "leaving room for a kind of "rolling epel" repo? 00:08 < knurd> | I got the impreission some contributors would like that 00:08 < quaid> | epelhide 00:08 < knurd> | :-) 00:08 < nirik> | I think it might be something we could look at down the road, but we shouldn't try and do everything at once. 00:08 < knurd> | nirik, of course 00:08 < knurd> | nirik, but we could leave room for that in the repo layout 00:08 < _blah_> | nirik: that would be helpful, it is a convoluted process for me to generate that list, so please report any errors or validations. also long term, it would be nice if this information could be generated on the build servers or somewhere similar. 00:08 < knurd> | nirik, that's all I want for now 00:09 < Jeff_S> | knurd: I feel like that is trying to do too much. We've defined EPEL as being stable, ie. not a ton of updates. So, if we're to have a "rolling" repo, then we'd have to branch every package for that and maintain separately... 00:09 < knurd> | Jeff_S, I don#t want rolling now 00:09 < knurd> | I just want to be able to do it later if we later want 00:09 < Jeff_S> | knurd: just the possibility of it down the road? 00:09 < knurd> | Jeff_S, yes 00:09 < mmcgrath> | perhaps we should label it 'experimental' 00:09 < quaid> | 'explosive' 00:09 < knurd> | zod 00:09 < _blah_> | why not add those directories in the future, then? 00:09 < knurd> | epelzod 00:10 < knurd> | _blah_, we can do that only if we put the current repo in a subdirectory 00:10 < Jeff_S> | knurd: seems reasonable, although I don't see why we can't cross that bridge when we come to it. We can always push out an updated .repo package later... 00:10 < knurd> | that's what I want 00:10 < nirik> | _blah_: yeah, thats the spam-o-matic script that mmcgrath was looking at... would mail maintainers. ;) 00:10 < nirik> | I have no problem with moving epel/* to epel/stable/ now, I don't think we shoudl create other dirs tho until we are ready to use them 00:11 < knurd> | nirik, +1 00:11 < knurd> | nirik, that's exaclty what I wanted 00:11 < mmcgrath> | _blah_: http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=hosted/mash;a=blob_plain;f=utils/spam-o-mat… <-- code 00:11 < nirik> | we do have mirrors now tho, so not sure how mad they would be getting everything again. 00:11 < _blah_> | mmcgrath: thanks, that's what i used to generated my list, but i can't install it on the buildsystem. :) 00:11 < nirik> | we could make stable and hardlink things and then remove after a few days... 00:11 < knurd> | nirik, we could hardlink that for a week or two 00:12 < knurd> | nirik, then it should not be that much new stuff 00:12 < Jeff_S> | Why not epel/{4,5}, epel/testing/{4,5}, epel/rolling/{4,5}? 00:12 < knurd> | Jeff_S, confusing 00:12 < Jeff_S> | or whatever you want to call "rolling" 00:12 < knurd> | epel rolling might have a testing as well 00:12 < mmcgrath> | _blah_: <nod> I can though :) email me after the meeting if you had to make any changes to that script to get it working. 00:12 < mmcgrath> | <nod> I don't think most sysadmins will know what rolling means. 00:12 * | knurd would really like to moving epel/* to epel/stable/ now 00:12 < mmcgrath> | I'd prefer experimental 00:13 < knurd> | mmcgrath, we don't need to define the name now 00:13 < _blah_> | mmcgrath: no changes required other than createing the repository to run it on. thanks for looking at that! 00:13 < quaid> | to start epel/stable/{4,5} alone seems sensible 00:13 < quaid> | room to grow without committing to any type of growth now 00:13 < nirik> | quaid: +1 00:13 < knurd> | mmcgrath, we just move the current stuff down a level and decide later if we want to have a rolling epel in addition 00:13 < knurd> | quaid, +1 00:13 < mmcgrath> | knurd: sounds good to me. 00:13 < _blah_> | quaid: +1 00:13 < Jeff_S> | so just hardlink in the meantime? 00:14 < knurd> | Jeff_S, yes, for a week or two 00:14 < Jeff_S> | works for me 00:14 < nirik> | who can take that action? dgilmore ? mmcgrath ? 00:14 < knurd> | the push scripts would need to be adjusted 00:14 < knurd> | and a new epel-release would be needed 00:15 < knurd> | dgilmore might be the best one for that job 00:15 < Jeff_S> | knurd: well, if you are wanting to push to -testing, then we'd need to update them anyway... 00:15 < knurd> | well, what do we want to do with testing now? 00:15 < knurd> | create it and hand-move packages over? 00:15 < knurd> | (when needed) 00:16 < _blah_> | knurd: are there other options? 00:16 < knurd> | _blah_, differnt targes in plague (see mailing list) 00:16 < Jeff_S> | knurd: I think it may be best to get people used to having things pushed to testing. Although we'd need a procedure in place for requesting the push to stable 00:16 < knurd> | but handmoving over stuff might be fine for now 00:16 < knurd> | Jeff_S, wiki? 00:17 < knurd> | we'll find something 00:17 < Jeff_S> | knurd: I can't think of anything better ATM ;) 00:17 < knurd> | afaics most of us want a testing 00:17 < knurd> | or am I wrong with that? 00:17 < nirik> | our release plan of only promoting things on N.y releases depends on testing. 00:18 < knurd> | all new stuff could (and should) go to the stable repo as well 00:18 < knurd> | and testing becomes stable on N.y releases 00:18 < knurd> | and security stuff gets build for testing, and moved over after a day or two 00:18 < nirik> | new stuff? new packages? 00:18 < knurd> | yes, new packages 00:19 < knurd> | for now 00:19 < knurd> | until EPEL is a bit bigger 00:19 < nirik> | new -> stable , update -> testing (wait until next .y release) -> stable... yeah... 00:19 < knurd> | fine for the others as well? 00:20 * | knurd waits if somebody yells 00:20 < rdieter> | using bodhi? 00:20 < nirik> | I like the idea of a rel team checking things before moving to stable tho... no broken deps, etc. 00:20 < knurd> | rdieter, in the long term: sure 00:20 < nirik> | rdieter: we can't use bodhi yet. We will when we can. 00:20 < knurd> | rdieter, but we need koji for that, and that requires manpower we don#t have 00:21 < rdieter> | so you want to implement testing repo before bodhi? 00:21 < knurd> | rdieter, kind of, yes 00:21 < rdieter> | ok 00:21 < knurd> | anything else regarding this topic? 00:21 < knurd> | otherwise I'll move on 00:21 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting -- finish the wiki docs and remove the warnings by end of may -- quaid 00:21 < knurd> | quaid seems to be working on it today 00:22 < knurd> | thx for that 00:22 < mmcgrath> | hurray for quaid :) 00:22 < knurd> | quaid anything to say reg. this? otherwise I'll move on 00:22 < quaid> | nope 00:22 < quaid> | just doing it now so it gets finally done :) 00:22 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting -- unresolved deps / packages missing in owners.epel.list 00:22 < knurd> | we talked about that in parts already 00:22 < knurd> | anything else to say regarding this? 00:23 < nirik> | I think all the missing packages should be fixed. 00:23 < knurd> | nirik, k, will remove that 00:23 < nirik> | need to see if dgilmore cleaned up tdma... I can do that if not. 00:23 < knurd> | maybe we should try to bug c4chris, so he runs his package status script for epel as well 00:23 < nirik> | we need to get the broken deps fixed tho. 00:24 < knurd> | yeah, but I got the impression you guys work on that 00:24 < mmcgrath> | I'll try to get the script installed in the next day or two 00:24 < knurd> | and the script 00:24 < knurd> | mmcgrath, great 00:24 < nirik> | I can poke people on fixing things too... 00:24 < knurd> | nirik, that would be great 00:24 < nirik> | some of them look to be that some dependent packages need to be branched for epel. 00:25 < knurd> | nirik, we likely should bug the fedora maintainers if needed and ask them if they want to participate in EPEL 00:25 < knurd> | if they don#t want -> send a list of packages to the list 00:25 < knurd> | I'm sure a maintainer will show up sooner or later 00:26 < knurd> | anything else? 00:26 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting -- vacant seat in the steering committee 00:26 < knurd> | smoog didn#t want to afaics from the last weeks log 00:27 < knurd> | so Jeff_S self-nominated 00:27 < knurd> | I#d say we should give others a chance to self-nominate as well 00:27 * | mmcgrath likes Jeff_S 00:27 < knurd> | and finally decide next week 00:27 < Jeff_S> | mmcgrath: well thank you :) 00:27 < nirik> | did we have any other people interested? 00:27 < knurd> | mmcgrath, agreed, but we should give others a chance to self-nominate as well 00:27 < knurd> | nirik, don#t know, we did not ask 00:28 < knurd> | and I think it's best to ask once in public 00:28 * | knurd should have done that two weeks ago 00:28 < knurd> | sorry Jeff_S 00:28 < nirik> | I think we did ask... 00:28 < nirik> | at least I remember comment about it on the list. 00:28 < nirik> | oh yeah, on the 20th, Jeff_S throwing a hat into the ring. 00:28 < nirik> | no other reponses. 00:29 < knurd> | okay 00:29 < knurd> | then +1 for Jeff_S 00:29 < nirik> | yeah, +1 for Jeff_S here. 00:29 < _blah_> | +1 for jeff_s 00:29 < knurd> | mmcgrath, quaid ? 00:29 < mmcgrath> | +1 00:30 < quaid> | Jeff_S++ 00:30 < knurd> | k, settled 00:30 < quaid> | yay! 00:30 < knurd> | welcome Jeff_S 00:30 < Jeff_S> | thanks 00:30 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting -- Free discussion around EPEL 00:30 < knurd> | anything else? 00:31 * | mmcgrath wanted to mention that I regularly bump into EPEL users. 00:31 < mmcgrath> | I found 3 of them in #puppet the other day :) 00:31 < knurd> | hehe, and we didn't even annouce yet :) 00:31 < nirik> | really? wow.... 00:31 < Jeff_S> | that's nice 00:32 < _blah_> | i've requested a few packages from fedora maintainers that have not gotten back to me... what is the next step in getting those packages into epel? 00:32 < quaid> | I bet the uptake will be pretty good 00:32 < nirik> | we are getting a good sized collection of packages now. 00:32 * | f13 sits in the peanut gallary 00:32 < notting> | do we want a separate excludearch tracker for epel, or piggyback on the fedora one? 00:32 * | quaid sends the peanut gal around with a fresh bag of hot 'nuts for fab__ 00:32 < knurd> | _blah_, good question 00:32 < quaid> | argh s/fab__/f13/ 00:32 < nirik> | _blah_: how long since you pinged them? Might wait a bit, and then post the list to the epel-devel list and see if anyone is interested in them? 00:32 < knurd> | _blah_, if they don#t react I'd say just request the branch via bugzilla; CC the fedora maintainer 00:33 < knurd> | (if you want to maintain them) 00:33 < _blah_> | nirik: 2 weeks+ time elapsed. i'm willing to maintain all of em for epel purposes. 00:33 < nirik> | notting: not sure. Either way would be fine as long as the arch people know to watch the epel one too. 00:33 < notting> | nirik: admittedly, this is an odd case 00:33 < knurd> | _blah_, we likely should ask FESCo for their opinion 00:34 < knurd> | I'll do that and get back to you 00:34 < notting> | nirik: excludearched b/c a rhel package is horribly broken 00:34 --> | wwoods (Will Woods) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:34 < _blah_> | knurd: ok, that would be cool. 00:34 < nirik> | notting: lovely... and since it's RHEL it's unlikely to get fixed anytime soon, eh? 00:34 * | knurd is wondering if we really need a a EPEL excludearch tracker 00:34 < notting> | nirik: well, i can *ask*. doubtful unless we find an actual customer that cares about rhel4 guile x86_64 00:35 < Jeff_S> | I think http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Schedule could use some updating... 00:35 < knurd> | Jeff_S, it's a wiki, feel free to do so 00:35 < knurd> | Jeff_S, but it's on my todo list as well for the next days 00:36 * | Jeff_S back again 00:36 < Jeff_S> | weee 00:36 < Jeff_S> | knurd: ok, I'll try to work on it a bit as well 00:36 < knurd> | Jeff_S, thx 00:36 < knurd> | notting, maybe ask on the list for opinions if we need a EPEL exclude arch tracker 00:37 < knurd> | I'd tend to say we don't need one, but I'm fine with having one if others want one 00:37 < nirik> | yeah, thinking about it, I think we could just use the fedora ones... 00:37 < knurd> | nirik, it might confuse people... 00:37 < notting> | ok, i'll ask on the list 00:37 < knurd> | notting, thx 00:38 < knurd> | anything else? 00:38 < nirik> | true, but the only people who look at those are arch folks, they likely wouldn't be too confused (by that at least. ;) 00:38 < notting> | well, i pointed some people on a mailing list to epel. didn't mean to jump the gun, sorry about that 00:39 < nirik> | no problem. I have been using epel on client machines here already, as well as centos virtuals of mine. 00:40 * | nirik doesn't have any other discussion items right now. 00:40 < f13> | has there been any progress on the RHX issue? 00:40 * | knurd will close the meeting in 30 00:40 < knurd> | f13, could you mail about it to the list 00:40 < knurd> | f13, I still try to understand it 00:40 < f13> | I'm not on the list as of yet. 00:40 < f13> | quaid: was supposed to do some looking into it IIRC 00:40 < knurd> | well, I'd like to see it discussed on the list 00:41 < f13> | that's fine, I'm just an "outsider" looking for an update 00:41 < knurd> | one IMHO should write up the background of such complicate topics first and send it to the list 00:41 < knurd> | f13, k, :-) I'll bug quaid about it then 00:41 * | knurd has to leave soon 00:41 * | knurd will close the meeting in 20 00:42 * | knurd will close the meeting in 10 00:42 < knurd> | -- MARK -- Meeting end 00:42 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/FedoraMeetingChannel -- Meetings often get logged -- see schedule in the wiki for next meeting 00:42 < dgilmore> | shit sorry i missed it guys 00:42 < knurd> | thx everybody 00:42 < knurd> | hi dgilmore 00:42 * | knurd has to leave now 00:42 < knurd> | np dgilmore 00:42 < knurd> | cu 00:42 --- | You're now known as knurd_afk 00:43 < mmcgrath> | laterz
