20:02:47 <zodbot> Eighth_Doctor: ngompa 'Neal Gompa' <ngompa13@gmail.com>
20:02:59 <tdawson> Hi Eighth_Doctor
20:04:45 <tdawson> #topic EPEL Issues https://pagure.io/epel/issues
20:04:47 <tdawson> https://pagure.io/epel/issues?tags=meeting&status=Open
20:05:20 <tdawson> Let's start with what I hope is the easiest
20:05:27 <tdawson> .epel 187
20:05:28 <zodbot> tdawson: Issue #187: Request to going the EPEL Packaging SIG - epel - Pagure.io - https://pagure.io/epel/issue/187
20:06:10 <tdawson> orion wants to be in the epel-packaging-sig group.
20:06:54 <tdawson> I've already given it a +1 cuz he already helps alot ... I just wanted to make sure there isn't anyone that doesn't agree before adding him.
20:06:57 <carlwgeorge> slam dunk, put him in coach
20:07:01 <rcallicotte> Orion is a beast!
20:07:05 <pgreco> yeap, easy question
20:07:11 <nirik> +10
20:07:26 <davide> .hi
20:07:27 <zodbot> davide: Sorry, but user 'davide' does not exist
20:07:36 <davide> .hello dcavalca
20:07:39 <zodbot> davide: dcavalca 'Davide Cavalca' <dcavalca@fb.com>
20:07:59 <tdawson> Hi davide
20:08:24 <Eighth_Doctor> +1 for orionp
20:09:04 <tdawson> The other issue with a meeting tag is salimma's, and he isn't going to be here today.
20:09:33 <tdawson> #topic Old Business
20:10:17 <tdawson> This is unusual, but I don't have any old business.  Did I miss something, or do we really not have any old business?
20:10:33 <carlwgeorge> crb enable thing?
20:10:56 <davide> oh right, did we reach a conclusion on that?
20:10:59 <carlwgeorge> https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/epel-release/pull-request/21
20:11:00 <tdawson> carlwgeorge: From what I remember, we agreed that we'd put the script in, but not enable it .. at least for now.
20:11:23 <carlwgeorge> afaict the only thing missing in the current pr is an accurate changelog entry
20:11:38 <carlwgeorge> `- Enable CRB during install` is not where we landed
20:11:50 <tdawson> That I can do. :)
20:12:02 <carlwgeorge> aside from that, squash the commits, then lgtm
20:12:20 <tdawson> OK.  I can get that done after this meeting.
20:12:34 <carlwgeorge> tdawson++
20:12:34 <zodbot> carlwgeorge: Karma for tdawson changed to 2 (for the current release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any
20:12:34 <tdawson> Anything else that's old?
20:12:50 <carlwgeorge> gotmax has a pr too we should probably resolve
20:13:18 <tdawson> gotmax isn't going to be here today either.
20:13:35 <tdawson> Does anyone have a link for it?
20:13:46 <carlwgeorge> https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/epel-rpm-macros/pull-request/44
20:14:12 <carlwgeorge> it's a python thing and miro already signed off on it.  based on that alone i'm +1.
20:14:50 <carlwgeorge> it it wasn't so late for him i'd tag him
20:15:24 <davide> this seems reasonable from a quick look
20:16:15 <tdawson> Yep, a +1 from me.  I looks reasonable, and I don't see any flaws ... though I think miro has a better eye than me.
20:16:39 <nirik> yeah, seems fine
20:17:25 <carlwgeorge> found a minor nit, rhel8 already has both %rpmmacrodir and %_rpmmacrodir, so we don't need that definition.  will follow up on the pr.
20:17:41 <Eighth_Doctor> reasonable to me I think
20:17:47 <Eighth_Doctor> please use `%_rpmmacrodir`, since that's rpm upstream
20:18:25 <gotmax> I wouldn't be surprised if Miro was still up ;) We had a conversation two hours after this yesterday. It's still probably better not to bother him.
20:18:31 <gotmax> I can remove the rpmmacrodir thing
20:18:41 <tdawson> Hi gotmax
20:18:42 * gotmax goes back to what he's actually supposed to be doing
20:18:46 <carlwgeorge> Eighth_Doctor: rhel8 already defines both so we don't have to worry about it
20:19:04 * carlwgeorge waves at gotmax
20:19:31 <tdawson> Anything else before I move on?
20:19:54 <tdawson> #topic EPEL-7
20:19:55 <tdawson> CentOS 7 will go EOL on 2024-06-30
20:20:24 <tdawson> That gives us about 2 years to get some type of budget for a retirement party
20:20:37 <rcallicotte> :)
20:20:49 <nirik> ha
20:21:17 <tdawson> I'm not very good at getting budgets, so it will take that long.
20:21:31 <tdawson> Anything come up in the past couple weeks relating to epel7?
20:21:50 <carlwgeorge> a little birdie told me we have secured some budget for epel stickers (tdawson lets chat about that after this meeting)
20:22:50 <tdawson> Sorry, that got me too excited to type. :)
20:23:23 <tdawson> Sounds like we didn't have any epel7 stuff ... moving on ...
20:23:30 <tdawson> #topic EPEL-8
20:23:31 <tdawson> CentOS Stream 8 goes EOL in 2024-05-31
20:24:52 <tdawson> I'm looking back through emails and stuff, I don't see anything for epel8 either.
20:25:12 <tdawson> #topic EPEL-9
20:25:14 <tdawson> CentOS Stream 9 goes EOL in 2027-05-31
20:25:56 <tdawson> Sorry, I just have that there so I can always beat smooge to the EOL punch. :)
20:26:34 <tdawson> It looks like we've got time, does carlwgeorge or smooge have any epel9 numbers?
20:27:05 <carlwgeorge> 6516 rpms from 2911 srpms
20:27:29 <rcallicotte> sweet
20:27:49 <tdawson> Only 1500 more to catch up to epel8
20:28:09 <carlwgeorge> that will be a good day
20:28:41 <tdawson> I've noticed though, that epel8 is still growing.  So it might be harder to catch than we expect.
20:29:19 <tdawson> Anything epel9 related people want to discuss?
20:29:24 <pgreco> I have a question for epel9
20:29:29 <pgreco> bwm-ng
20:29:59 <pgreco> it has the branch created, but seems like the maintainer hasn't pushed the branch to be built
20:30:12 <pgreco> current rawhide builds and works
20:30:29 <pgreco> is it ok if I push/build?
20:31:07 <tdawson> It looks like that branch was built way back in Feb. 10
20:32:13 <pgreco> the branch was created, yes
20:32:21 <pgreco> but it's "empty"
20:32:53 <pgreco> https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/bwm-ng/commits/epel9
20:33:03 <tdawson> Looking at the bug, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2052868 ... they aren't saying not to build it
20:33:25 <pgreco> I couldn't find anything forbidding the maintainer from actually doing it
20:34:15 <tdawson> Personally, I'd give a ping on the bug, asking if they minded you building it, and if they don't respond, go for it.
20:34:22 <pgreco> ack
20:35:10 <nirik> +1
20:35:48 <tdawson> #topic General Issues / Open Floor
20:36:50 <tdawson> Anything for open floor?
20:36:56 <davide> there's a thread on fedora-devel with some concerns around the stalled epel policy
20:37:23 <tdawson> Yep.  We were talking about it on #epel.
20:37:32 <carlwgeorge> i'm actually typing replies to it now
20:37:35 <davide> oh I just saw carlwgeorge replied now
20:37:46 <davide> yeah I was going to say we should clarify how the collaborator thing works
20:37:50 <davide> I think we're good then
20:38:01 <tdawson> Thanks for bringing it up though
20:39:51 <tdawson> Sorry, got distracted reading through all the replies.
20:39:57 <tdawson> Anything else for this week?
20:40:10 <Eighth_Doctor> nothing from me
20:40:16 <tdawson> I'm ok closing the meeting early.
20:40:53 <pgreco> sounds good
20:41:12 <tdawson> Thank you all for comming and the good discussion.  Thank you for your work in the EPEL community.
20:41:16 <tdawson> Talk to ya'll next week.
