TOPIC:roll call (@ankursinha:fedora.im, 13:01:09)

INFO: Ankur open PR porting over comp-neuro image to Kiwi -> obsolete, we're thinking of dropping the comp-neuro spin (@ankursinha:fedora.im, 13:03:54)
INFO: Ankur fix NEURON FTBFS -> DONE (yay!) (@ankursinha:fedora.im, 13:04:13)

INFO: https://pagure.io/neuro-sig/NeuroFedora/issue/579 -> dropping the comp neuro spin: we're thinking of doing this as the normal use case for comp-neuro users is to install the spin of their choice and then install the necessary software on top. They're unlikely to use an image that has lots of software pre-installed, since they're unlikely to use all the installed tools (@ankursinha:fedora.im, 13:07:00)
INFO: https://pagure.io/neuro-sig/NeuroFedora/issue/579 -> assigned to Ankur (@ankursinha:fedora.im, 13:08:02)

INFO: Now that vxl has been fixed, we can work on the ITK update: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1340300 (@ankursinha:fedora.im, 13:13:39)
INFO: there are a few FTBFS possibly related to NEURON that need looking into---NEURON may need further patching, so this is high effort (@ankursinha:fedora.im, 13:20:50)
INFO: Py3.14 mass re-build has begun, so we'll see issues relating to that soon. Please fix any packages that can be fixed before, but please do make sure to co-ordinate with the build (especially for packages that affect other packages) (@ankursinha:fedora.im, 13:34:31)
INFO: To build a package that has already been built as part of the side tag, please build it in the `f43-python` side tag: `fedpkg build --target=f43-python` and `koji wait-repo f43-python --build <nvr> --request`. Please see the -devel list e-mail about this: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/python-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/LHYTUTQDVNF2L5KM7BDGZRUJRWLGGICU/ (@ankursinha:fedora.im, 13:36:59)
INFO: The packages seem fine otherwise. (@ankursinha:fedora.im, 13:37:35)
