17:35:53 <nirik> shall I leave it on the agenda? or move it off until there is news for it? 17:36:08 <cwickert> no news, I'm still busy with dayjob 17:36:16 <cwickert> even in this very moment :( 17:36:58 <nirik> #topic #517 Updates Metrics 17:36:58 <nirik> .fesco 517 17:37:00 <zodbot> nirik: #517 (Updates Metrics) - FESCo - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/517 17:37:04 * SMParrish here 17:38:05 <nirik> any news here? 17:38:08 <kylem> sigh, i keep getting distracted and i completely forgot about that. someone else take it over, please? :\ 17:38:49 <nirik> #info interested parties wanted to help with updates stats. 17:39:00 <nirik> perhaps we could send a plea to the list asking for interested folks? 17:39:43 <nirik> I could do that, unless someone wants to step up to work on this now? 17:40:15 <nirik> #action nirik to mail devel list asking for interested stats folks. 17:40:23 <nirik> I'll leave it on the agenda for now... 17:40:29 <kylem> sounds sensible. :\ 17:40:30 <nirik> anything more? or shall we move on? 17:40:34 <ajax> i'm not going to have time to look into it any time soon 17:41:12 <nirik> I hope we can find a few folks that are interested enough to at least complie a list of "nice to have" things. 17:41:27 <nirik> #topic #563 suggested policy: all daemons must set RELRO and PIE flags 17:41:28 <nirik> .fesco 563 17:41:29 <zodbot> nirik: #563 (suggested policy: all daemons must set RELRO and PIE flags) - FESCo - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/563 17:41:33 <nirik> where are we on this one? 17:42:04 <kylem> news here -- the disk on the machine i was using inside rh (ihatethathostname) died over the weekend, so i've been re-building the chroot i was using locally, hope to be done today 17:42:38 <nirik> bummer. 17:42:54 <nirik> so, defer to next week again? 17:42:58 <kylem> please. 17:43:07 <kylem> it's been a major pain in my side since saturday. :\ 17:43:12 <kylem> it's what i get for trying to work on the weekend. :< 17:43:41 <nirik> #info kylem will update ticket this week with news. 17:43:46 <nirik> thanks for working on it. 17:43:54 <kylem> np. thanks for your patience. :\ 17:43:59 <nirik> #topic #576 Encourage to be package maintainers to introduce themselves in devel list 17:43:59 <nirik> .fesco 576 17:44:00 <zodbot> nirik: #576 (Encourage to be package maintainers to introduce themselves in devel list) - FESCo - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/576 17:44:14 <nirik> so, theres some statements mether added. 17:44:19 <nirik> what do we think of them? 17:45:09 <ajax> just do things already. 17:45:35 <kylem> ha. 17:45:40 <nirik> well, it's done, but he also added the second one asking sponsors to send an email when they sponsored someone. 17:45:59 <kylem> why do we care about their gpg key trust, if we don't use gpg for anything? 17:46:14 <nirik> but really I guess we could always revist if it's too much duplication. 17:46:35 <nirik> kylem: that got added as a "if you want to, you can also..." so, not a big deal. 17:46:43 <notting> i don't necessarily agree with his logic, but ... jfdi 17:47:01 <kylem> i see. 17:47:17 * nirik is ok with it the way it is, we can revisit if there's too much "hi, I just sponsored foo" followed by "hi, I'm foo and was just sponsored" 17:47:49 <notting> maybe have a suggestion that the sponsor always reply to the initial introduction mail 17:47:57 <notting> but, *shrug* 17:48:29 <nirik> yeah, I thought about suggesting that, but then it gets all complicated... 17:48:37 <nirik> so, +1 for just trying this for a while. 17:48:55 <nirik> any objections? 17:49:17 <nirik> #agreed looks good to us for now. 17:49:23 <nirik> ok, moving on... 17:49:37 <nirik> #topic #577 FHS exception for Heimdal 17:49:38 <nirik> .fesco 577 17:49:39 <zodbot> nirik: #577 (FHS exception for Heimdal) - FESCo - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/577 17:49:53 <nirik> this was rejected, then reopened to ask for a slightly different exception. 17:50:45 <kylem> grumbl 17:51:15 <nirik> so, I am also -1 to /usr/heimdal... 17:51:23 <nirik> and I don't think it needs to exist... 17:51:57 <notting> i'm not particularly fond of /usr/heimdal, but the binaries need to go somewhere 17:52:00 <kylem> i think the whole thing is ugly 17:52:12 <SMParrish> seems like a kluge to me 17:52:36 <nirik> a wrapper + /usr/libexec? 17:53:03 <notting> what sort of wrapper? krb5 already installs krb5.{sh,csh} 17:53:06 <nirik> or /usr/lib. I don't care. 17:53:27 <nirik> yeah, that should work 17:54:10 * nirik re-reads 17:54:56 <nirik> so, the argument is that krb5 uses /usr/kerberos/ so, heimdal should be able to as well... 17:55:14 <nirik> why not fix them both to use /usr/lib/ or /usr/libexec? 17:56:09 <nirik> I guess we just vote? or wait until requestor is around? or ask them to work on it some more? 17:56:47 <kylem> i'd much rather see the latter, /usr/{krb,heimdal} are both fugly. 17:57:47 <ajax> slight preference for libexec, but i'm rapidly losing my ability to care. 17:57:50 <notting> i'd much rather see only one kerberos implementation. but i suppose that ship has sailed. 17:58:03 <kylem> notting, or at least one interface to applications 17:58:47 <kylem> i don't really see why i could need two different kerberized rsh clients. 17:58:51 <kylem> (or rsh period. :) 17:59:11 * nirik tries to think of a ticket joke, but fails. 17:59:58 <notting> kylem: kadmin is the obvious one that needs to exist for both. dunno about the others 18:00:12 <kylem> sure. 18:02:41 <nirik> well, I guess I would say I am -1 to the exception at this time. 18:02:48 <nirik> if folks prefer we could just defer another week. 18:03:33 <cwickert> re 18:03:40 * cwickert is also -1 18:04:11 <notting> i am -1, and would prefer that we only ship one versions of applications wherever possible (and if heimdal's always going to be a secondary library, it's not those) 18:04:31 <SMParrish> -1 from me 18:05:00 <nirik> thats -4 18:05:17 <ajax> so i'm sure: what's the exception being requested? 18:05:35 <nirik> that they be allowed to put binaries in /usr/heimdal/ 18:06:18 <ajax> nggh. krb5 should be fixed too in that case, but given that, -1 as well. 18:06:47 <nirik> at least thats my understanding. 18:06:55 <nirik> yeah, krb5 needs fixing too. 18:07:08 <nirik> #agreed this exception is not granted at this time. 18:07:20 <nirik> ok, here's a late add: 18:07:23 <nirik> #topic #578: Guidance on systemtap 1.5 feature 18:07:23 <nirik> .fesco 578 18:07:24 <zodbot> nirik: #578 (Guidance on systemtap 1.5 feature) - FESCo - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/578 18:07:28 <nirik> rbergeron: ping 18:07:51 <rbergeron> nirik: YO 18:07:55 <rbergeron> Oh, hai guys. 18:08:33 <rbergeron> So the ticket pretty much has all information. Basically, they thought they'd get there in time for beta, but can't, but think they could do it in a few more days, but I don't want to give bad advice on things I shouldn't be advising on, really. 18:09:02 <rbergeron> Would prefer for fesco to actually make the call on if it should be dropped altogether, or if you need moreinfo, or if any of the possibilities frank listed are viable. 18:09:02 * nirik looks to see whats in now 18:09:44 <ajax> hm. stap's kind of a leaf, it's not likely to disrupt anything if the release comes in late. but, kind of bad form at this point in the release. 18:10:02 <nirik> yeah, it should have landed in a testable form before now. 18:10:21 <rbergeron> yup. 18:10:30 <ajax> i lean towards dropping it as a "feature", but landing it in f15 updates should be fine. 18:10:35 <nirik> I'd suggest they retarget for f16 at this point. 18:10:49 <kylem> indeed. 18:11:31 * rbergeron looks for an 'official' recommendation so she doesn't have to try and decipher everyone's statements :) 18:11:36 <SMParrish> I am leaning towards pushing it into F16. give them time to work out the kinks and get some thorough testing done 18:12:25 <nirik> so, that sounds like +4 for 'retarget for f16' ? 18:12:51 <ajax> yeah 18:12:53 <notting> sure, i'll add +1 to that 18:12:56 <ajax> at least from me 18:13:48 <nirik> #agreed ask feature owner to retarget for f16 18:14:03 <nirik> note that we may/should have to ping docs and marketing about it no longer being a feature. 18:14:19 <nirik> for f15 I mean 18:14:21 <LinuxCode> rbergeron, official enough ? ;-D 18:14:58 <rbergeron> nirik: indeed. 18:15:08 * rbergeron can follow up with docs/mktg. 18:15:16 <nirik> rbergeron: that would be excellent. 18:15:16 <rbergeron> linuxcode: yes :) 18:15:20 <nirik> anything more on this ? 18:15:28 <rbergeron> thanks, everyone. 18:15:33 <nirik> #topic Open Floor 18:15:40 <nirik> Anyone have anything for open floor? 18:16:34 * nirik listens to the wonderfull crickets chirp 18:16:44 <ajax> not i 18:16:48 <kylem> :) 18:16:48 <nirik> ok, shall we close out and call it a quick meeting for once? 18:16:53 <kylem> \o/ 18:16:56 <gholms|work> Heh 18:17:42 <nirik> ok, thanks for coming everyone! 18:17:47 <nirik> #endmeeting
