  4. Open pagure tickets (FranciscoD_, 13:19:51)

    2. No pagure tickets to discuss (FranciscoD_, 13:20:23)

  5. Package health check (FranciscoD_, 13:20:41)
    1. Please head over to the neuro-sig packager dashboard to get an overview of our packages and their statuses: https://packager-dashboard.fedoraproject.org/dashboard?users=neuro-sig (FranciscoD_, 13:21:01)
    2. A couple of our python packages are dependent on python-cariosvg which has been orphaned, but not directly---hopefully that dependency chain will be fixed: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-cairosvg (FranciscoD_, 13:24:49)
    3. Packages are in good health, with a few FTBFS/FTI bugs all assigned. Please take on any bugs that you have the time to work on, especially version updates (FranciscoD_, 13:26:53)

  6. Open package reviews check (FranciscoD_, 13:26:54)
    1. All reviews from the neuro-sig should "block" our tracker bug here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=fedora-neuro (FranciscoD_, 13:30:23)
    2. This ensures that all neuro-sig members are informed of a new package review ticket, and it helps us keep track of all our new package reviews (FranciscoD_, 13:30:47)
    3. ACTION: davdunc ask Neal about python-cairosvg (FranciscoD_, 13:31:04)
    4. To see neuro-sig reviews, head to the tracker bug, then on the right click "show advanced fields", and then look under the "depends on" bit (FranciscoD_, 13:31:51)
    5. ACTION: vanessa_kris build ephyviewer for F35 + F36 and push updates to bodhi mentioning bug number (to auto-close bug) (FranciscoD_, 13:36:27)
    6. ACTION: FranciscoD complete python-pyABF and python-neatdend reviews (FranciscoD_, 13:36:47)
    7. dependency from sphinxcontrib-svg2pdf to python-cairosvg is optional, and the maintainer will drop it if necessary (or neal will pick it up as a dep for buildbot) (FranciscoD_, 13:40:01)
    8. worst case, we have to drop or patch some documentation subpackages (FranciscoD_, 13:40:18)

  7. Comp neuro lab image compose check (FranciscoD_, 13:40:35)
    1. The koji task for building the comp-neuro lab image is here: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=30691 (FranciscoD_, 13:40:48)
    2. Compose is currently failing, but for all images, so unlikely a comp-neuro specific issue: https://pagure.io/releng/failed-composes/issue/3638 (FranciscoD_, 13:41:34)
    3. ACTION: neuro-sig keep eye on failing comp-neuro compose (FranciscoD_, 13:43:42)
