I have been handling the ansible collections (besides ansible-collection-
google-cloud) for a little while now. I'm happy to continue doing that. If you
want to add me to the infra-sig, I can try to help out with bugs and updates
when I have the time.
That would be awesome!
Also, I remember that there was an issue with the fedora-messaging
ansible
callback plugin not working due to fedora-messaging not being packaged for
python38 on EPEL 8. Is that still an issue? I could maybe (not promising :))
help with that.
Well, yes and no. Currently the callback plugin doesn't work, but that
just means no fedora-messages for ansible playbook runs in
infrastructure. I am not sure anyone but me cared about them. In order
to make it work, I think we would need to make a complete pile of
fedora-messaging packages against python3.8. However, I'm thinking we
should just move batcave01 to rhel9 soon and that will make this not
matter (at least for a while, until ansible-core needs python3.12 or
something).

I'm assuming the packages where Fedora Infra is the upstream (e.g. bodhi*)
will be kept?
Yes. Many of those were also setup with packit to keep them updated,
which is nice.
I opened up a couple random packages and noticed that mote, which is
in the
second list, was retired by @churchyard 2 years due to it FTI, but it still
exists in epel7. I would suggest either going through the unretirement process
or just completely retiring and then orphaning that package.
We just deployed a completely new version of mote.
We don't deploy it via rpms, and I don't know if there's any plans to
package it, but if there is, it could be re-added and use the mote rpm
package name.
pam_url was
orphaned two weeks ago, but @infra-sig still has admin on that package.
@infra-sig can probably be removed from that package.
Yeah. Done.
Maybe it would also be worthwhile to triage/reassign bugs with the
packages
the @infra-sig maintains in the weekly infra meeting so all of the work
doesn't fall on you? (I occasionally skim the meeting meeting minutes, but
maybe I'll join one day if the scheduling works out!).
We could... we already spend a lot of time on tickets tho.
I suppose we could take our current schedule of doing one learning topic
and one ticket triage to 3: learning, then tickets, then bugs?
For incoming things we might be able to add them to the daily standup...
but I don't think we can get through backlog there.
