13:03:29 <andreasn> #topic agenda
13:04:31 <dperpeet> * subscriptions in cockpit
13:05:52 <andreasn> sounds good
13:05:56 <andreasn> anything else?
13:06:10 <pitti> not from me
13:06:38 <andreasn> all right
13:06:44 <andreasn> #topic Subscriptions in Cockpit
13:06:55 <dperpeet> so we have an existing package for cockpit
13:06:58 <dperpeet> that deals with subscriptions
13:07:46 <dperpeet> but since the underlying technology (subscription-manager, candlepin) are being somewhat overhauled regarding their APIs, we need to adapt
13:07:58 <dperpeet> away from screen scraping, more towards dbus
13:08:02 <dperpeet> which is awesome!
13:08:04 <andreasn> nice!
13:08:12 <dperpeet> so we wanted to take this opportunity and work on an out of tree plugin
13:08:17 <dperpeet> https://github.com/cockpit-project/subscription-manager
13:08:55 <dperpeet> at this point, it's more about getting an out of tree plugin working with proper CI than about the actual content (working with subscriptions)
13:09:12 <dperpeet> the idea is that when someone opens a PR against subscription-manager, it is tested against cockpit
13:09:33 <dperpeet> and if something changes in cockpit, we can also check whether we're breaking subscription-manager
13:10:03 <dperpeet> mvollmer, are there any reasons not to add metadata and treat this as an app for cockpit?
13:10:44 <dperpeet> from what I understand it's just an rpm with metadata
13:10:46 <andreasn> is the plan to port the current UI over, or to also support handling of repositories from https://trello.com/c/6fPm7FIi/354-spike-subscriptions-and-repositories ?
13:10:58 <mvollmer> technically, none, but I guess this isn't really a add-on.
13:11:07 <mvollmer> i.e., rhel should have that, always
13:11:28 <mvollmer> dperpeet, or am I confused?
13:11:49 <dperpeet> andreasn, the plan is to provide all the interaction that a user would expect from a subscriptions ui
13:11:50 <mvollmer> is this about th next version of pkg/subscriptions?
13:11:54 <dperpeet> not just limited to the current set
13:12:05 <andreasn> ah, ok
13:12:09 <dperpeet> mvollmer, yes, but not tied to the cockpit packages
13:12:39 <dperpeet> mvollmer, I thought it would be a nice way to add it if not installed
13:12:51 <dperpeet> but we can always add that in later
13:12:52 <mvollmer> yeah
13:13:07 <mvollmer> but, would it be an "Application", or a "Cockpit extension"
13:13:24 <mvollmer> for example, we might turn LVM support into a cockpit storage extension
13:13:24 <dperpeet> it wouldn't work without cockpit
13:13:38 <dperpeet> https://github.com/cockpit-project/subscription-manager/pull/2/commits/3ce9846d69037afc05c35ad0b768a0d06b47ae8e#diff-c4675f15e44500f58d074e6ee1eae8c2
13:13:58 <dperpeet> I modeled this after your freeipa example
13:16:02 <mvollmer> yes, should work
13:16:11 <mvollmer> (needs an icon! :-)
13:16:18 <dperpeet> andreasn ^
13:16:19 <dperpeet> :)
13:16:32 <dperpeet> ok, thanks for the feedback
13:16:59 <dperpeet> my current step is to figure out the testing
13:17:11 <dperpeet> end of topic
13:17:14 <andreasn> thanks!
13:17:20 <andreasn> #topic Open Floor
