Today we had a quiet, civilized, meeting where the following points were raised:
- For a week, I've missed a report by Itzik about vdsm starting to send <feature><acpi/> tag to libvirt when asked to. https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/vdsm-devel/2012-August/001335.html Could this be related to http://gerrit.ovirt.org/6846 or http://gerrit.ovirt.org/5369 ? I suppose not, but maybe the authors can help me understand what's going on here.
- Robert: about to release a Jenkins job, that compiles rpm per patch, to help people test patches.
- Federico: agrees to look into why we get fishy
Exception RuntimeError: RuntimeError('cannot notify on un-acquired lock',) in <module 'threading' from '/usr/lib64/python2.7/threading.pyc'> ignored
messages from the unit tests, even though it is not due to his recent RLock work.
- Adam: libvdsm still has few shortcomings; plans to enumerate known issue by tomorrow, and push to the world. Asks that Federico reviews his autobuild changes.
- Saggi: when that's out, will work on Java binding for the benefit of Engine. Dan: we must get Engine's consent for libvdsm.
- We need to set the priorities for ovirt-3.2 release, planned for November, to fit into Fedora 19. Adam and Dan thinks that libvsdm is high on that list.
- Deepack: requests review for his gluster work http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/6856/
- Adam: mom integration: VMs are to have policy tags, such as Gold/ Silver/ Bronze to be enforced by MoM.
- Robert: should we auto-test mom? Adam to add `make check` with basic stuff such as pyflakes.
- Dan: should we abandon old patches? Federico: no, people may want they Work-in-Progress patches to stay around and inspire others. A nag mail for a patch that is not abandoned and not advancing anywhere is more reasonable.
If someone has some time to put into gerrit scripting, I won't mind to see such a nag bot. It would help we separate important patches that were somehow forgotten by their author/reviewers and stuff that should probably be recycled.
- I'm pretty sure we had more participants, and more issues raised. Please send a patch to this email with corrections/ additions.
Regards,
Dan.
