12:02:53 * gothos o/
12:03:13 <ndevos> well, we're only 4 now, I hope that some of the lurkers voice their opinions anyway
12:03:29 * kkeithley is here
12:03:32 <ndevos> #topic Last week action items
12:03:35 * hchiramm is here
12:03:51 <ndevos> #topic davemc to run a "what should it say?" through users ML
12:04:04 <ndevos> I do not have any more context here...
12:04:17 <ndevos> does anyone know what it is about, or if it has been done?
12:04:18 * raghu` is here
12:05:02 <hchiramm> nope
12:05:29 <ndevos> #help Need to find out what the "what should it say?" action item is about
12:05:36 <ndevos> #topic Announcement about GlusterFS releases and its EOL
12:06:02 <ndevos> davemc also had this AI, it should have been mentioned in a video
12:06:21 <ndevos> a video is nice, but did anyone notice an email or blog post about it?
12:06:45 * ndevos guesses not
12:07:12 <ndevos> hchiramm: can you take that on? write a blog post and send it also to the lists?
12:07:42 <ndevos> or, any other volunteers?
12:08:32 <ndevos> okay, I'll #help it too then
12:08:56 <ndevos> #help Need a volunteer to document the EOL process/versions in a blogpost and email
12:09:15 <ndevos> #topic hagarth to update maintainers file
12:09:27 <ndevos> I do not think that has been done either?
12:09:42 <ndevos> or, did someone see a patch for the MAINTAINERS file?
12:09:47 <hchiramm> ndevos, I will try to help on EOL one.. but let it rest on #help now
12:09:54 <hchiramm> ndevos, not yet
12:09:59 <ndevos> hchiramm: ok, thanks
12:10:26 <ndevos> hchiramm: did you update the Gerrit users/groups/permissions/whatever for the new maintainers?
12:10:32 <hchiramm> yep. done
12:10:47 <hchiramm> replied the mailing list
12:10:50 <ndevos> cool, thanks!
12:11:21 <ndevos> hchiramm: do you want to send an update for the MAINTAINERS file too?
12:11:28 <hchiramm> no.. :(
12:11:34 <ndevos> I think hagarth is pretty busy...
12:11:44 <ndevos> oh, okay, someone else who wants to do that?
12:11:52 <hchiramm> ndevos, that maintainers file need a detailed cleanup
12:12:09 <hchiramm> I think its better if hagarth can do that
12:12:27 <ndevos> hchiramm: well, I'm not concerned so much about inactive maintainers, I'd like to see the new maintainers listed ASAP
12:12:55 <hchiramm> that can be done.. but there are lots of components mentioned with inactive maintainers..
12:13:05 <hchiramm> I think hagarth was planning a detailed clean up
12:13:35 <ndevos> okay, but we can add the new components and maintainers already, removing the inactive ones can be done afterwards
12:13:49 <hchiramm> ndevos, I will send a patch with new maintainers
12:13:56 <ndevos> hchiramm: awesome!
12:13:59 <hchiramm> :)
12:14:20 <ndevos> #action hchiramm sends a patch that adds the new maintainers/components to the MAINTAINERS file
12:15:06 <ndevos> #action hagarth needs to send a cleanup patch for the MAINTAINERS file to remove inactive maintainers (add a allumni section?)
12:15:24 <ndevos> maybe I spelled that wrong? the word looks strange
12:15:46 <ndevos> #topic JustinClift to create initial GlusterFS Release Checklist page on the wiki
12:15:47 <gothos> nope, it's fine
12:15:55 <ndevos> ok, thanks :)
12:16:13 <ndevos> JustinClift: are you here? did you create that checklist?
12:16:45 * hchiramm : s/allumni/alumni
12:16:48 <ndevos> #action JustinClift to create initial GlusterFS Release Checklist page on the wiki
12:17:03 <gothos> ah, thought you referred to MAINTAINERS, it's alumni. sorry
12:17:04 <ndevos> hchiramm: oh, so close!
12:17:14 <hchiramm> yeah :)
12:17:35 <ndevos> #topic davemc to add pointer to wiki from site
12:18:03 <ndevos> I guess that is about a link on gluster.org that points to the wiki?
12:18:11 * ndevos checks the website
12:18:33 <ndevos> ah, the "wiki" link points to the blog
12:18:35 <hchiramm> ndevos, "wiki' ta
12:18:43 <hchiramm> b should be picking media wiki
12:18:46 <hchiramm> instead of blog
12:18:47 <ndevos> I think JustinClift wanted to fix that
12:19:16 <hchiramm> yeah.. JustinClift or Debloper can help here :)
12:19:21 <ndevos> #action JustinClift fix the "wiki" link on gluster.org to redirect to the wiki and not to the blog
12:19:43 <gothos> maybe also add a link to the blog at the top?
12:20:01 <ndevos> yeah, I think that makes sense
12:20:05 <hchiramm> yep..
12:20:20 <hchiramm> "From the blog"  exist in footer though
12:20:35 <ndevos> #help Need a volunteer to add a link to the blog on the top of gluster.org
12:21:11 <ndevos> and someone needs to fix the blog, for some reason it syndicates my posts 2x
12:21:33 <ndevos> and I dont have an account on blog.gluster.org (nor do I want one)
12:21:46 <hchiramm> ndevos,  I am working with JustinClift to syndicate couple of other blogs
12:21:56 <hchiramm> may be I can take up ur issue as well
12:22:26 <ndevos> #action hchiramm will try to fix the duplicate syndication of posts from blog.nixpanic.net
12:22:33 <ndevos> :)
12:22:37 <hchiramm> ndevos, thanks!
12:22:39 <hchiramm> :)
12:22:51 <ndevos> #topic JustinClift to respond to Soumya Deb on gluster-infra about website
12:23:07 <hchiramm> Debloper, there ?
12:23:09 <ndevos> did someone see any communication on that?
12:23:17 <hchiramm> not from JustinClift .,.
12:23:18 <Debloper> hchiramm: yeah
12:23:24 <hchiramm> awesome ! :)
12:23:35 <hchiramm> Debloper, do u need any more inputs on your mail ?
12:23:50 <ndevos> #chair hchiramm
12:23:50 <zodbot> Current chairs: hchiramm ndevos
12:23:57 <hchiramm> I mean your mail to gluster-infra with the subject "website revamp"
12:24:28 <hchiramm> Debloper, ^
12:24:34 <Debloper> hchiramm: if I understand correctly, my mail was the feedback. the response can be on if-needed basis.
12:25:06 <Debloper> If no other responses are there, I'll tend to believe it's alright.
12:25:08 <Debloper> EOM.
12:25:53 <ndevos> Debloper: can you explain a bit about the current plan for the website? one/two sentences?
12:26:19 <Debloper> ndevos: my plan was a complete revamp, and it's mostly longer-term.
12:26:38 <Debloper> wouldn't fit into a fix-what's-broken plan.
12:27:04 <ndevos> Debloper: okay, thanks :)
12:27:20 <ndevos> #topic Discuss stability issues and directions
12:27:21 <hchiramm> Debloper, iirc, u r about to write a blog post abt the complete process
12:27:34 <Debloper> I'd suggest going forward with the current patching of the content. I'll come up with a full blown architechture revamp in the meantime.
12:27:46 <Debloper> hchiramm: yes, that's right.
12:27:56 <ndevos> Debloper: yeah, sounds like a plan to me
12:28:17 <hchiramm> Debloper, thanks.. Please share with the community once its there
12:28:25 <Debloper> will do.
12:28:29 <hchiramm> Debloper++
12:28:32 <ndevos> anyone familiar with the stability topic? what issues are meant?
12:28:48 <hchiramm> #action Debloper to write  a blog post about complete revamp
12:29:00 <hchiramm> ndevos, btw the "wiki" thing is fixed here http://glustermm-tigert.rhcloud.com/
12:29:36 <ndevos> hchiramm: good to know, but we need it on gluster.org somehow... who can (and knows how to) do that?
12:29:57 <hchiramm> then let the AI rest on JustinClift :)
12:30:11 <ndevos> hehe, good
12:30:47 <hchiramm> \o
12:30:53 <ndevos> #agreed we're not aware of stability issues, dropping it from the agenda unless someone (re)adds more details
12:31:06 <ndevos> #topic hagarth to set up small file performance meeting
12:31:17 <ndevos> hmm, I think jdarcy was given that AI
12:31:48 <ndevos> #action jdarcy schedules a "small file performance" meeting
12:32:01 <ndevos> #action davemc to chat semiosis on ubuntu release
12:32:26 <ndevos> I think there was a discussion about this, kkeithley did you follow that?
12:32:46 <partner> (debian too please :)
12:33:00 <kkeithley> yes
12:33:14 <ndevos> ... please explain some more details?
12:33:22 <kkeithley> I don't believe that davemc ever had the conversation, but I checked with semiosis
12:33:46 <kkeithley> first step is to get the ubuntu code audit (cppcheck) fix into all the branches
12:34:02 <kkeithley> one sec
12:34:03 <ndevos> [x] merge cppcheck fixes
12:34:39 <kkeithley> (02:31:30 PM) semiosis: kkeithley_: here's how it should work... 1. get the fixes into the release branch, 2. sync up debian packages with ours, 3. merge debian packages into ubuntu, 4. reopen the MIR to continue the process
12:34:39 <kkeithley> (02:37:54 PM) semiosis: for #2 i need to commit to patrick (the-me) SVN repo, then for #3 do some work in bzr on launchpad, then #4 talk to jamespage in #ubuntu-server to see what to do next for the MIR
12:34:39 <kkeithley> (02:41:36 PM) semiosis: also, fyi, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glusterfs/+bug/1274247
12:35:11 <ndevos> right, thanks
12:35:25 <ndevos> kkeithley: is this something you can keep an eye on?
12:35:43 <kkeithley> sure, I'll continue to cast a jaundiced eye on it
12:35:58 <kkeithley> Or the Eye o' Sauron
12:36:01 <ndevos> and maybe involve partner when needed?
12:36:18 <kkeithley> yes
12:36:26 <ndevos> or, if partner wants to take this up, he's free to :)
12:36:38 <kkeithley> yup
12:37:05 <ndevos> #action kkeithley and partner will keep an eye on getting debian and ubuntu packages updated
12:37:23 <ndevos> #topic follow up on Rackspace regressions
12:37:25 <kkeithley> a good start would be getting the remaining patches reviewed and merged.
12:37:48 <ndevos> atinmu: you were looking into more regression issues?
12:38:18 <atinmu> ndevos, I am looking into mgmt_v3 lock failure
12:38:47 <ndevos> atinmu: okay, are you aware of other regular issues?
12:38:50 <atinmu> ndevos, I don't have a conclusion yet,
12:39:09 <atinmu> ndevos, fop-sanity is one which I am aware
12:39:14 <ndevos> oh, thats fine, just keep sending status updates to the mailinglist :)
12:39:30 <ndevos> atinmu: can you find someone to look into the fop-sanity problem?
12:39:42 <atinmu> ndevos, I sent an update yesterday
12:39:51 <ndevos> atinmu: yes, I know and I liked it :)
12:40:18 <atinmu> ndevos, sure, let me ask someone
12:40:34 <ndevos> #action atinmu continues looking into the mgmt_v3 regression test issue
12:40:37 <ndevos> atinmu: thanks!
12:40:58 <atinmu> ndevos, I am also proposing a change in regression.sh
12:41:01 <ndevos> #action atinmu will look for someone that can fix the spurious fop-sanity test
12:41:31 <atinmu> ndevos, IMO, regression.sh doesn't capture /var/log/mesages which could be helpful for OOM kill issues
12:42:00 <atinmu> ndevos, prolly we should need to capture that in the log archive as well
12:42:02 <ndevos> atinmu: oh, yes, that would help - I dont know who/where those scripts are maintained though
12:42:40 <ndevos> #action atinmu will contact JustinClift to update the regression.sh script and capture /var/log/messages too
12:42:58 <atinmu> ndevos, thanks
12:43:03 <ndevos> atinmu: thank you!
12:43:05 <ndevos> #topic GlusterFS 3.6
12:43:31 <ndevos> raghu`: is that you?
12:43:40 <raghu`> yes
12:44:29 <ndevos> raghu`: any progress, and plans for releasing 3.6.2
12:44:32 <raghu`> I have pushed some patches to release-3.6 branch. Some patches from AFR. I am waiting for some more patches from pranith and some USS related patches
12:45:01 <ndevos> *USS: user Servicable Snapshots
12:45:14 <raghu`> I want to make a beta release today or tomorrow and probably end of this week or early next week make 3.6.2
12:45:26 <raghu`> yeah user serviceable snapshots
12:45:39 <atinmu> raghu`, I think there is one pending patch from my end
12:46:04 <atinmu> raghu`, quota-anon-fd-nfs.t spurious failure
12:46:05 <raghu`> some patches have been sent for review. But they are failing regression tests. They are being investigated
12:46:36 <raghu`> atinmu: yeah. I looked at that patch
12:47:12 <raghu`> I am waiting for regression tests to pass. I will trigger a test myself if its not automatically triggered
12:47:29 <ndevos> I think 3.5 contains a backport of that too already, we had to include some options to make it really work
12:47:59 <raghu`> ohh ok. Let me trigger a regression run now and once it passes, I will push it.
12:48:07 <atinmu> raghu`, thanks
12:49:04 <raghu`> atinmu: By any chance had you sent that patch along with some other patch? Making this patch as a dependent of that patch?
12:49:08 <ndevos> #action raghu` creates a 3.6.2 beta today (10 december) or tomorrow, release follows later this week or early next week
12:49:16 <atalur> raghu`, As I mentioned before, there is one patch pending from my end too.
12:49:38 <atinmu> raghu`, yes, this is a dependent patch, the base patch u have merged
12:49:45 <ndevos> raghu`: anything else on 3.6, or can we continue with 3.5?
12:50:14 <raghu`> atalur: ok. Please add me as the reviewer once you send that patch so that I can review and merge it ASAP
12:50:24 <atalur> raghu`, Okay. Thanks :)
12:50:50 <raghu`> ndevos: nope.
12:50:59 <ndevos> ok :)
12:51:00 <ndevos> #topic GlusterFS 3.5
12:51:04 <raghu`> atinmu: ahh, ok. Will trigger a run
12:51:19 <ndevos> nothing urgent needs to be fixed that I am aware of
12:51:29 <ndevos> so, no plans to create a beta
12:51:54 <ndevos> if anyone needs an update in 3.5 soon, make yourself heard!
12:52:01 <ndevos> #topic GlusterFS 3.4
12:52:09 <ndevos> kkeithley: any update from your side?
12:52:26 <kkeithley> sorry,
12:52:33 <kkeithley> for the delay
12:53:04 <ndevos> you had the excuse that you were in a call?
12:53:06 <kkeithley> no update, I haven't had any cycles to look at the show stopper memory leak.  I don't believe hagarth has either
12:53:27 <ndevos> ok
12:53:31 <kkeithley> And I've heard nothing from pranith
12:53:46 <ndevos> #topic GlusterFS.next (is that the correct name?)
12:53:47 <kkeithley> who took a look a couple weeks ago and didn't see anything
12:54:27 <ndevos> a BitRot hangout was done, a little confusing on the URLs though
12:54:39 <ndevos> and I have not watchd it yet, sorry!
12:54:58 <partner> missed too
12:55:15 <ndevos> it's recorded, there is a link in the email archives somewhere
12:55:48 <ndevos> I dont think we need to discuss any of the proposed 3.7 features today
12:56:00 <ndevos> nor the "small file performance" topic
12:56:17 <ndevos> #topic Other Agenda Items
12:56:55 <gothos> btw. if there is anything to test regarding small file performance I would be highly interested to help out
12:56:58 <ndevos> who has something on their mind and wants to share that?
12:57:17 <ndevos> gothos: I think that would be listed on the wiki page
12:57:27 <gothos> ndevos: I'll take a look
12:57:29 <ndevos> http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Features/Feature_Smallfile_Perf
12:58:13 <hchiramm> http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Performance_Testing
12:58:38 <ndevos> hchiramm: the Other items list "Gerrit upgrade", is that something you can comment on?
12:58:47 <hchiramm> ndevos, not really
12:58:53 <hchiramm> waiting for JustinClift and misc
12:58:59 <ndevos> okay, we're running out of time anyway ;)
12:59:29 <ndevos> #action JustinClift and misc should post an update or plan about upgrading Gerrit
13:00:20 <ndevos> if you all stay quiet, we'll finish the meeting now...
13:00:32 <hchiramm> ....
13:00:39 <ndevos> :P
