The start-by-default stuff 18:04:00 <nirik> yes, because they are things that fesco would have to approve. 18:04:05 <nirik> Switch from "dkms_autoinstaller" to "dkms" for all branches 18:04:05 <nirik> Switch to systemd already for f17 and f18 18:04:05 <nirik> Enable by default on el5, el6 through chkconfig 18:04:05 <nirik> Enable by default on f17 through systemd 18:04:05 <nirik> Ask for systemd preset inclusion for f18, f19 and rawhide 18:04:11 <notting> yeah, shouldn't change sysv -> systemd in a release 18:04:25 <nirik> well, the reason for that is that we can't know if the user had it enabled in sysv. 18:04:28 <notting> so could do it for f20, f19 (if really fast) 18:04:39 <nirik> if we also say they can start by default, that should be possible? 18:04:46 <sgallagh> Yeah, no sysv->systemd change in the release. 18:05:17 <mitr> For starting by default, does dkms actually require an exception to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Starting_services_by_default ? 18:05:21 <sgallagh> I'm okay with renaming for F19+, but not installed systems 18:05:30 <jwb> sgallagh, we're past change deadline 18:05:42 <jwb> sgallagh, which means a rename would show up as a 0-day update. not very nice 18:05:54 <notting> ok then, f20. 18:05:59 <sgallagh> jwb: Well, unless it got a freeze exception, but yes. 18:06:11 <jwb> if it got a freeze exception, i would weep. 18:06:16 <sgallagh> (I'm not voting for a freeze exception) 18:06:19 <nirik> mitr: not sure. Does dkms need config? or does it just work? 18:06:39 * nirik hasn't used it in so long, no idea. 18:06:56 <mitr> nirik: I haven't looked either 18:08:11 <nirik> it sounds like no config... 18:08:46 <nirik> so, ask for more info? or should we vote on each part? 18:08:47 <abadger1999> When I had it installed many years ago, it just worked. 18:08:52 <nirik> or... 18:09:26 <mitr> Arguably the f<=18 situation is sort of moot - even if it violated the policy we might not want to prohibit it now 18:10:03 <nirik> proposal: if no exception needed on starting by default, allow name change/systemd in f20+ only, leave others alone? 18:10:11 <pjones> I think we've explicitly allowed it before. 18:10:16 <jwb> +1 18:10:25 <abadger1999> +1 18:10:27 <pjones> nirik: +1 18:10:36 <notting> +1 18:10:38 <nirik> I don't actually thing the systemd move would harm anything in existing releases aside from confusing people.. 18:10:53 <mitr> +1 18:10:57 <sgallagh> +1 18:11:18 <nirik> #agreed if no exception needed on starting by default, allow name change/systemd in f20+ only, leave others alone. (+7,0,0) 18:11:35 <nirik> #topic ticket #1125 httpd-itk broken over release because httpd updated without dependencies caring and maintainer refuse 18:11:35 <nirik> fixing .fesco 1125 18:11:35 <nirik> https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1125 18:11:37 <abadger1999> yeah -- if they turned it off but left the package installed, when they yum updated, it would suddenly be back on again. 18:11:48 <abadger1999> but htat's it 18:12:19 <nirik> that could be anoying for some I suppose. 18:12:46 <sgallagh> Proposal: Leave jorton alone to do his work in peace 18:12:47 * jkaluza is here in any need, but he's just comaintainer 18:13:30 <notting> sgallagh: i wouldn't phrase it like that, but i'm fine with waiting for the upstream release with the added API before doing anything with httpd 18:13:54 <jwb> notting, yes 18:13:59 <mitr> In _principle_ this kind of thing should be possible - "upstream first", not "upstream only" 18:14:00 <nirik> so if this is a fork, why does it need the main one to change anything? 18:14:11 <nirik> I guess it just builds a module for httpd? 18:14:15 <jkaluza> If I understand it right, httpd-itk was in current state for 16 months 18:14:16 <mitr> However I don't see a strong case for overriding upstream 18:14:18 * nirik meant to look more into this, but hasn't. 18:14:32 <sgallagh> nirik: It's not *exactly* a fork 18:14:46 <sgallagh> It used to carry a bundled copy of the older HTTPD 2.2 with these patches. 18:14:53 <notting> nirik: it's a MPM for apache. you used to have to build them by including the httpd source code. httpd 2.4 had changes to allow building them as modules, but (i assume) they're not complete enough to allow it to build/work 18:15:09 <sgallagh> The upstream accepted them into the mainline for 2.4, so they want to drop their bundle, but jorton doesn't want to pull the patches until they're in a stable release. 18:15:28 <jkaluza> ^ that's it 18:15:30 <nirik> ok, so cannot they continue to bundle for now? 18:15:34 <jwb> they can 18:15:59 <jkaluza> that's what I suggested in the fesco ticket 18:16:28 <jkaluza> bundle for now, build httpd-itk and once the upstream release version with the patches they need, they can build it as module 18:16:41 <nirik> seems reasonable to me. 18:16:44 <sgallagh> I agree with this plan fully 18:16:55 * pjones is going to be afk for a few, apologies. 18:17:10 <nirik> someone care to put forward a proposal? 18:17:12 <mitr> Well, it does mean having to manually mirror every httpd patch in the httpd-itk copy, which is pretty ugly 18:17:38 <jkaluza> mitr: it used to work like that with 2.2, right? 18:17:40 <sgallagh> mitr: But no worse than their traditional approach 18:17:42 <nirik> sure, it's non ideal... 18:17:48 <notting> proposal (from jkaluza): bundle code in httpd-itk for now, build httpd-itk and once the upstream httpd version is released with the patches they need, they can build it as module 18:17:54 <nirik> +1 18:18:00 <sgallagh> notting: +1 18:18:19 <mitr> notting: Can the migration be transparent for users? It might mean waiting for F20 18:18:29 <mitr> +1 to the general idea 18:18:34 <notting> mitr: i don't know. jkaluza - ideas? 18:18:47 <jwb> i think the maintainer of httpd-itk can worry about that 18:18:53 <mitr> notting: Right now httpd-itk says "disable httpd service; enable httpd-itk". But what jwb said. 18:19:03 <jwb> i don't think we need to force the httpd maintainers to worry about itk at all 18:19:37 <mitr> Well, in a "can't we all get along" sense, it would be nice if they did anyway :) 18:20:00 <jwb> we aren't here to make people get along. 18:20:07 <jwb> that's the CWG. 18:20:14 <jkaluza> mitr: what migration do you mean? from the proposed httpd-itk built with bundled httpd-2.4 to some future version build against system 2.4? 18:20:18 <nirik> I think it's more just a disagreement about carrying non upstreamed patches. I don't think anyone is being difficult to get along with. 18:20:56 <jwb> nirik, right. and i don't think there are sufficient reasons why the itk maintainers can force the httpd maintainers to carry patches they don't want to 18:21:05 * nirik nods. 18:21:10 <mitr> jkaluza: Yes. I agree with the general resolution ("let itk do the work this time"), just pointing out that the migration will not necessarily be user-invisible. 18:21:11 <jwb> it's a separate package currently, it can continue to be so 18:21:17 * notting is +1 to the proposal, if it wasn't obvious 18:21:28 <nirik> thats +4 18:21:30 <nirik> more votes? 18:21:34 <abadger1999> eh bundling probably needs an FPC exception which might not be grantd -- otoh, might be granted for a limited time frameframe... we've done that before. 18:21:41 <jwb> did i vote +!? 18:21:44 <jwb> er, +1? 18:21:46 <jwb> if not, +1 18:21:56 <jkaluza> mitr: if we accept the patches for httpd now and they will build httpd-itk against system httpd-2.4, then users will have to change their configuration anyway 18:22:02 <abadger1999> I'm for the general concept of *not* forcing the httpd maintainer on this though. 18:22:02 <nirik> abadger1999: is it on the tracker? it hopefully does seem like a limited time thing 18:22:22 <jkaluza> mitr: they at least have to unload default MPM in httpd configuration file and load httpd-itk MPM 18:22:56 <nirik> so, thats +5... 18:23:03 <nirik> any other votes before I close it out? ;) 18:23:15 <abadger1999> nirik: there hasn't been an FPC ticket that I can recall. 18:23:43 <abadger1999> but that's all I know so far :-) 18:23:51 <dan408> wasnt there one FPC ticket filed against leigh123linux? 18:23:51 <mitr> jkaluza: that's a change at time of switch to itk. I'm talking about a possible change on itk upgrade from the non-bundled to bundled version. Anyway, let's leave this to the httpd-itk maintainer. 18:24:38 <jkaluza> mitr: I'm not sure I follow now, there's no non-bundled httpd-itk version available in fedora right now. 18:25:11 <nirik> #agreed bundle code in httpd-itk for now, build httpd-itk and once the upstream httpd version is released with the patches they need, they can build it as module. (+5) 18:25:39 * nirik notes the review for this package seems very cursory. :( 18:25:48 <nirik> #topic ticket #1126 Need a procedure for tracking FESCo release blockers 18:25:48 <nirik> .fesco 1126 18:25:48 <nirik> https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1126 18:25:49 <zodbot> nirik: #1126 (Need a procedure for tracking FESCo release blockers) – FESCo - https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1126 18:26:42 * nirik is +1 to the proposal, seems fine. 18:26:57 <notting> yes, +1. the proposal sounds good. 18:27:00 <mitr> +1 18:27:07 <sgallagh> +1 worksforme 18:27:08 <abadger1999> +1 18:28:38 <nirik> #agreed proposal in ticket is approved (+5) 18:28:51 <nirik> #topic Next week's chair 18:28:54 <nirik> who wants it? 18:29:06 <abadger1999> I can do it. 18:29:11 <abadger1999> oh wait. 18:29:15 <nirik> thanks! oh? 18:29:19 <abadger1999> actually... I might not be around next week 18:29:25 * abadger1999 withdraws volunteering 18:29:29 <nirik> ok. 18:29:32 <nirik> anyone else? 18:29:39 <notting> sure, i'll do it 18:29:41 <sgallagh> I haven't had a turn in a whiel 18:29:46 <sgallagh> or notting is fine too 18:30:55 * nirik doesn't care. :) I guess notting was first? 18:31:01 <nirik> #info notting to chair next week 18:31:05 <nirik> #topic Open Floor 18:31:11 <nirik> any items for open floor? 18:31:25 <jwb> vote 18:31:38 <nirik> #info elections in progress. Please vote! 18:31:42 <sgallagh> -1 ;-) 18:31:45 <nirik> when is the new fesco first meeting? 18:32:00 <jwb> 26th? 18:33:01 <nirik> there's a week on the schedule to 'announce results' 18:33:15 <nirik> anyhow, everyone should try and attend next week and any new folks can also... 18:34:01 <nirik> any other open floor items? 18:34:32 <sgallagh> Yeah, someone needs to patch that hole in the floor. Someone could get hurt. 18:34:42 <sgallagh> (sorry) 18:34:58 <jwb> are all the current members going to flock? 18:35:15 <sgallagh> jwb: I know mmaslano wasn't going to make it 18:35:21 <sgallagh> (Having just been at Summit) 18:36:41 * nirik should be there. 18:37:02 <mitr> me as well 18:37:02 <sgallagh> I'll be there, for the record. You are forewarned. 18:37:09 <notting> i'll miss the first day, but should be there for the rest 18:37:19 <jwb> sgallagh, i hope so. you're giving 1/2 the talks. 18:37:37 <sgallagh> Well, unless my daughter makes an early appearance. 18:37:52 <sgallagh> jwb: Crap, did it seriously work out that way? 18:37:56 <jwb> no 18:38:00 <jwb> but you have a lot. 18:38:17 <nirik> jwb: schedule is going to be announced later this week? 18:38:33 <sgallagh> Well, most of them are supposed to be discussions, not presentations. I would hope to be more a moderator than anything else 18:38:37 <jwb> i'm hoping so. the committee seems to have all weighed in. 18:38:51 <jwb> waiting for final approval from everyone i guess 18:39:45 <nirik> excellent. 18:40:56 <nirik> ok, will close out the meeting in a min if nothing more. 18:41:58 <nirik> thanks for coming everyone! 18:42:01 <nirik> #endmeeting
