Test Day Planning
Just a general check-in on test day planning efforts. Who has what?
Rawhide Acceptance Testing
Last week, 2010-01-28 was the second pre-Alpha rawhide acceptance test milestone. Jkeating and dlehman coordinated to do a second compose (see rel-eng ticket#3292). Install images were built and posted on alt.fedoraproject.org. Since AutoQA doesn't yet monitor this location for new install images, tests were initiated manually.
Test Summary:
- Automated rats_install PASS (note bug#559597 prevents initramfs creation)
- AutoQA updates supports split URL compose now (using stage2= and repo=)
- Results available at Test_Results:Fedora_13_Rawhide_Acceptance_Test_2.
Next Steps:
- Fix AutoQA post-tree-compose hook to monitor for RAT droppings (see ticket#115)
- 2010-02-04 test run

adamw | yo | 16:02 |
jlaska | adamw: happy monday :) | 16:02 |
jlaska | who else can we convince to join us for a meeting? | 16:03 |
* kparal convinced | 16:03 | |
adamw | yeah, yeah, keep it short, whatever, i have important cellphone hacking to do :P | 16:03 |
jlaska | I can see that! :P | 16:03 |
jlaska | adamw: you must join the meeting using one of those phones | 16:03 |
kparal | adamw: you are a blogging superman :) | 16:03 |
* maxamillion is here | 16:04 | |
adamw | jlaska: gimme 2 minutes and i will | 16:04 |
jlaska | hi kparal, maxamillion | 16:04 |
jlaska | adamw: uh oh ... that wasn't meant as a dare :) | 16:04 |
jlaska | who else we have? wwoods Viking-Ice tk009 ? | 16:05 |
jlaska | alright, let's get started and hopefully they can join in | 16:06 |
jlaska | #topic previous meeting follow-up | 16:06 |
jlaska | #info jlaska to add bugzilla shared query links to Common_Bugs wiki page | 16:06 |
jlaska | #info beland added the links to the F-13 page already ... https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F13_bugs | 16:07 |
jlaska | The only other thing that occured to me was perhaps updating our IRC RSS feeds that zodbot tracks | 16:08 |
* nirik can do that later today if you let me know what to change it to/etc. | 16:08 | |
jlaska | I'll take an action item to grab the blocker bug RSS feeds and see if nirik can update zodbot to watch those links | 16:08 |
jlaska | nirik: thanks! | 16:09 |
nirik | no problem. | 16:09 |
jlaska | #action request zodbot tracking for updated F-13 QA RSS feeds (blocker bugs, common_bugs? etc...) | 16:09 |
* adamw now meetingggggg on his phone :) | 16:09 | |
nirik | I noticed the other day it spewed something about the f12 blockers... meant to look at it. | 16:09 |
jlaska | nirik: we can probably replace the F-13 ones with the new feeds? | 16:09 |
jlaska | adamw: you're nuts :) | 16:10 |
jlaska | okay, next up I have ... | 16:10 |
adamw | Pic available if proof desired! | 16:10 |
jlaska | #info wwoods and kparal to talk about design ideas | 16:10 |
nirik | f12 you mean? yeah. I think currently it's announcing any change to the f12 blocker | 16:10 |
jlaska | I think this came out of the AutoQA discussion last week | 16:10 |
jlaska | nirik: yeah, sorry ... replace the F-12 ones with the newer F-13 feeds | 16:10 |
jlaska | kparal: wwoods: do you have insight as to what was being tracked by this action item? | 16:11 |
kparal | jlaska: I believe it meant we should have consulted the future results database design? | 16:11 |
kparal | jlaska: which we didn't :/ | 16:12 |
adamw | http://www.happyassassin.net/extras/irc_meeting.jpg | 16:12 |
kparal | adamw: nice! | 16:13 |
jlaska | kparal: ah right ... hmm, what are your thoughts there. what is needed to do a good design review on that? | 16:13 |
jlaska | adamw: that's cute :) | 16:13 |
maxamillion | adamw: what irc client is that? | 16:13 |
jlaska | adamw: normally, I'd say this would impact your words/minute. But I don't think it will :) | 16:13 |
adamw | maxamillion: andchat | 16:14 |
maxamillion | adamw: interesting ... I'll have to check it out | 16:14 |
maxamillion | :) | 16:14 |
adamw | jlaska: i'm cheating, i'm typing on my pc now :P | 16:14 |
wwoods | jlaska: yeah we were going to talk about design ideas for the results database | 16:14 |
kparal | jlaska: I believe several should get involved, so we don't make any oversights right in the design. maybe some people that already designed some koji parts could help us | 16:14 |
adamw | maxamillion: it vibrates for nick alerts - stop buzzing my knee :D | 16:14 |
maxamillion | adamw: when did you get an android device? | 16:14 |
maxamillion | LOL | 16:14 |
kparal | *several people | 16:14 |
adamw | maxamillion: > #fedora-qa let's not derail | 16:14 |
maxamillion | rgr, sorry | 16:14 |
jlaska | kparal: re: koji ... do you mean like lmacken? | 16:16 |
jlaska | perhaps a micro-FAD would be helpful to get the right folks involved | 16:16 |
kparal | jlaska: I don't know about lmacken, for e.g. dmach hinted me to look at his kobo library several times. https://fedorahosted.org/kobo/ | 16:17 |
jlaska | kparal: aah right | 16:17 |
wwoods | ugh | 16:17 |
wwoods | xmlrpc with cookies? krb5? | 16:17 |
kparal | jlaska: it might be some inspiration for us, I think there is a hub part that store results | 16:17 |
jlaska | kparal: probably a good idea for us to outline what our needs are first? | 16:17 |
Oxf13 | kobo looked waaaay to overengineered for the stuff I needed | 16:18 |
wwoods | kobo is a great idea for building RHEL-internal apps | 16:18 |
kparal | I haven't studied it yet | 16:18 |
wwoods | but very poorly suited to fedora needs | 16:18 |
kparal | just looking for places where we can gather some ideas about the results DB | 16:18 |
skvidal | ugh | 16:19 |
wwoods | yeah it's still worth looking at other things that are around | 16:19 |
kparal | jlaska: yes, we should brainstorm about the needs first | 16:19 |
skvidal | b/c we need ANOTHER implemention of rpm header parsing | 16:19 |
wwoods | but there's no reason the results db needs to be able to parse RPM headers | 16:19 |
kparal | don't dump it everyone, we can have a look at some specific parts, not use everything at once :) | 16:20 |
wwoods | honestly there's no reason it needs to be anything more than, say, a TG app, as far as I can see | 16:20 |
wwoods | but that's still a very very broad canvas for design | 16:20 |
jlaska | in the interest of time ... is there a next step to keep track of here? | 16:20 |
kparal | wwoods already has some expertiese with irb frontend, so I suppose he will be the leader in this area :) | 16:20 |
wwoods | I'd suggest we should outline some requirements and goals before we start looking at tools/implementations | 16:21 |
jlaska | that seems sensible | 16:21 |
kparal | the next step should be the brainstorming meeting for those of us concerned I think | 16:21 |
wwoods | kparal: agreed | 16:21 |
kparal | we just must not forget about it :) | 16:21 |
jlaska | would you like me to organize a gobby meeting this week to review? | 16:22 |
kparal | sounds good for me | 16:22 |
wwoods | sure | 16:22 |
jlaska | #action jlaska to organize a gobby meeting to begin requirements/goal definition for a results db | 16:22 |
jlaska | alright ... last follow-up item ... | 16:23 |
jlaska | #info adamw update on security policy | 16:23 |
jlaska | The info I have is Adam moved the discussion from test@l.fp.org to devel@l.fp.org (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-January/129978.html) | 16:24 |
jlaska | adamw: any other updates? | 16:24 |
adamw | sorry! | 16:24 |
adamw | nope, that's it - i did that before the weekend so haven't read the responses yet | 16:25 |
jlaska | adamw: no TXT'ing while MTG :) | 16:25 |
adamw | i intend to follow the same process i did for test list | 16:25 |
jlaska | okay, should we keep this on the radar for next week? | 16:25 |
adamw | do a new draft from the current responses, then send that, keep cycling until no-one has anything to complain about :) | 16:25 |
adamw | sure | 16:25 |
jlaska | #info adamw will continue monitoring feedback (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-January/129978.html) and propose updated drafts as needed | 16:26 |
jlaska | alright, let's dive in ... | 16:26 |
jlaska | #topic Release validation wiki updates | 16:26 |
jlaska | adamw: I've got you on the spot for this as well, can you cover for rhe? | 16:26 |
jlaska | Just wanted to give a quick update on the wiki changes you and rhe have been working on | 16:26 |
adamw | yup | 16:27 |
adamw | so far we've added the installation validation testing wiki page: | 16:27 |
adamw | #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Installation_validation_testing | 16:27 |
adamw | a desktop validation testing wiki page, which is still full of duct tape: | 16:27 |
adamw | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Desktop_validation_testing | 16:27 |
adamw | and modified the QA/Join page to mention this testing: | 16:27 |
jlaska | heh, the many uses of duct tape :) | 16:28 |
adamw | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Join#Release_validation | 16:28 |
jlaska | adamw: I wanted to ask, would you like to have the QA schedule changed to reference 'release validation' and not specifically 'install validation' so there is room for other efforts? | 16:29 |
jlaska | okay, we can come back to that if needed, lemme keep on going | 16:31 |
jlaska | nice wiki updates rhe and adamw :) | 16:31 |
adamw | jlaska: i think that would be a good change | 16:31 |
jlaska | adamw: okay, I'll ping get in touch with poelcat later this week then | 16:31 |
jlaska | #action jlaska to discuss updating QA schedule with poelstra to reflect new 'release validation' focus | 16:32 |
adamw | there will be other types of validation we could do in future; there's already a couple of criteria we can test that don't really come under installation or desktop | 16:32 |
jlaska | I'd love to get off my butt and do the QA release checklist | 16:32 |
jlaska | to include in that mix | 16:32 |
jlaska | adamw: anything else on the wiki front? | 16:33 |
adamw | um, nothing springs to mind | 16:33 |
adamw | was that a leading question? :) | 16:33 |
adamw | i didn't get around to updating commonbugs yet :( | 16:33 |
jlaska | no, not a leading question | 16:34 |
jlaska | alright, moving on to another quick update ... | 16:34 |
jlaska | #topic Rawhide Acceptance Testing | 16:34 |
jlaska | we had another RATS drop last Thursday | 16:34 |
jlaska | jkeating composed a tree for rats_install (see rell-eng ticket#3292). | 16:35 |
jlaska | I had to correct a few typos with the rats_install patches designed to support providing stage2= and repo= ... but all-in-all it worked well | 16:35 |
jlaska | #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_13_Rawhide_Acceptance_Test_2 | 16:35 |
Oxf13 | did it pass? | 16:35 |
jlaska | Oxf13: well it passed, but there's a _but_ | 16:36 |
jlaska | bug#559597 prevents initramfs creation ... so it won't boot without that fixed | 16:36 |
Oxf13 | oh right | 16:36 |
jlaska | so one dracut-004-5 lands, we should be good | 16:36 |
Oxf13 | but you can use the images with a later rawhide tree | 16:36 |
jlaska | at least for the automated portion of rats_install | 16:37 |
jlaska | Oxf13: right, the packages from a newer rawhide | 16:37 |
jlaska | I don't think we need to update the install images for this, right? | 16:37 |
jlaska | Oxf13: so how would you like to proceed ... want a ticket to update the 'last known good' ? | 16:38 |
Oxf13 | jlaska: we probably shouldn't do that until the package tree has the right dracut level and we verify that | 16:38 |
jlaska | Oxf13: oh agreed | 16:38 |
Oxf13 | this does bring up a good question though | 16:38 |
Oxf13 | does "last known good" mean a set of images, a set of packages, or the combination of the two? | 16:38 |
jlaska | #info Oxf13 asked ... does "last known good" mean a set of images, a set of packages, or the combination of the two? | 16:39 |
jlaska | from a testing perspective ... it means images + packages | 16:39 |
jlaska | as soon as one changes, I think that adds a caveat to the 'last known good' | 16:39 |
Oxf13 | I suppose for users it's useful to have images which we expect to work, which can be tested against package sets which we're not sure of | 16:39 |
Oxf13 | all releng would be tracking and providing symlinks to is the set of images | 16:40 |
jlaska | Oxf13: true, so this is intended to increase install reliability ... but is still open to rawhide package churn | 16:40 |
adamw | i think it's as simple as putting a rawhide date on the 'last known good' listing | 16:40 |
adamw | and a note that says it was known to work with that day's packages | 16:41 |
adamw | may work with other days, but we can't say for sure | 16:41 |
jlaska | agreed, I think we just need some wording around this so it's clear | 16:41 |
* poelcat thought LKG was a fully installable source, including images so people did not have to go all the way back to F12 for a reliable starting place | 16:42 | |
jlaska | think it's time to get some documentation down for this | 16:42 |
jlaska | any volunteers :) | 16:42 |
adamw | i can do it if you let me know roughly what's needed | 16:43 |
jlaska | adamw: given the questions here, I think defining what 'last known good' means | 16:43 |
jlaska | it's a term we use a lot, but sounds like there is still some confusion around what's included | 16:44 |
Oxf13 | part of that was just working through the mechanics of actually doing it | 16:45 |
jlaska | true true | 16:45 |
Oxf13 | it's far easier to store a small set of images, and then reference an existing tree of packages somewhere | 16:45 |
Oxf13 | or let the images autopick the latest rawhide for more fun | 16:45 |
adamw | i think this is a case where we should do the mechanics and then i will write an explanation which sounds like we knew what we were doing all along =) | 16:45 |
jlaska | okay, in that case I think we're probably done then | 16:46 |
jlaska | Oxf13: are there other changes coming on the rel-eng side of building these? | 16:46 |
Oxf13 | um... | 16:46 |
Oxf13 | how do you mean? | 16:46 |
jlaska | how do we know when we're done with providing 'last known good'? | 16:47 |
jlaska | how can we [X] check it off | 16:47 |
* adamw is the king of retrospective-justification-through-wikis | 16:47 | |
jlaska | adamw: it's still 20/20 right? :) | 16:47 |
Oxf13 | jlaska: in my head there is a simple webpage that is maintained by QA | 16:47 |
Oxf13 | this webpage describes Last Known Good and the fact that rawhide no longer has images of it's own | 16:48 |
Oxf13 | onthis page would be links to the install image files, and to the tree of packages it was found to be good with | 16:48 |
Oxf13 | with instructions on how to combine the two into an install | 16:48 |
adamw | if you give me canonical locations for lng installer images and package tree i can totally make a wiki page for that. | 16:48 |
adamw | also, those instructions :D | 16:49 |
jlaska | Oxf13: ah that's helpful | 16:49 |
Oxf13 | and finally notes that without picking a specific repo of packages, the images will attempt to install the latest repo of packages on the mirror system | 16:49 |
Oxf13 | which has not been validated, and may not work | 16:49 |
jlaska | alright, adamw I'll be happy to work the details with you | 16:49 |
adamw | okay | 16:50 |
adamw | action it? | 16:50 |
jlaska | #info jlaska and adamw to work on drafting a 'last known good' wiki page | 16:50 |
jlaska | err ... | 16:50 |
jlaska | #action jlaska and adamw to work on drafting a 'last known good' wiki page | 16:50 |
jlaska | Oxf13: thanks ... will probably pick your brain again during the week | 16:50 |
Oxf13 | no problem | 16:50 |
jlaska | okay ... time for AutoQA update! | 16:50 |
* jlaska hits the gong | 16:51 | |
jlaska | #topic AutoQA project update | 16:51 |
jlaska | #topic AutoQA project update - deps/conflicts prevention | 16:51 |
jlaska | wwoods: you want to kick things off for the AutoQA update? | 16:51 |
wwoods | sure | 16:51 |
wwoods | Friday afternoon I got a working yum-based prototype of the depcheck code | 16:52 |
wwoods | http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=autoqa.git;a=blob;f=tests/depcheck/depcheck | 16:52 |
jlaska | saweet! | 16:52 |
wwoods | a mere 147 lines, even | 16:52 |
wwoods | I need to start creating test cases to make sure it works as expected | 16:53 |
wwoods | typical runtime is ~20s | 16:53 |
jlaska | wow, you really brought that down from the 60s | 16:53 |
wwoods | ~15s for leaf-node packages (e.g. something like hamster-applet) | 16:53 |
wwoods | ~19-20s for packages with lots of prov/req data (e.g. gcc) | 16:54 |
jlaska | that's pretty darned good | 16:54 |
wwoods | but "20s" is a safe estimate | 16:54 |
wwoods | probably it can be sped up further | 16:54 |
wwoods | but premature optimization is the root of all evil, and all that, so.. later | 16:54 |
jlaska | heh | 16:54 |
* jlaska stuffs a few #info tags into the mix | 16:55 | |
jlaska | #info Friday afternoon I got a working yum-based prototype of the depcheck code | 16:55 |
jlaska | #link http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=autoqa.git;a=blob;f=tests/depcheck/depcheck | 16:55 |
jlaska | not that this is blocking your efforts, but I'm waiting for some feedback from jhutar, but rpmfluff should be an official fedora package soon | 16:55 |
wwoods | excellent | 16:56 |
wwoods | yeah I think I'd like to use rpmfluff etc. to generate test packages/repos | 16:56 |
wwoods | for the test cases | 16:56 |
jlaska | that'll be great to see | 16:56 |
wwoods | yum's test cases involve creating objects which *simulate* test packages/repos/etc. | 16:56 |
wwoods | not sure if that makes a significant difference | 16:57 |
jlaska | just having a testsuite at all for this I think will pay off in the long run | 16:57 |
wwoods | definitely. | 16:57 |
jlaska | given the complexity | 16:57 |
jlaska | nice work! | 16:57 |
jlaska | wwoods: anything else on the depcheck front? | 16:58 |
wwoods | no, I think that covers it | 16:58 |
jlaska | sweet, alright ... kparal's up next | 16:58 |
kparal | ok | 16:59 |
jlaska | #topic AutoQA project update - rpmguard and resultsdb | 16:59 |
kparal | so I have updated a few tickets regarding rpmguard | 16:59 |
kparal | first is https://fedorahosted.org/autoqa/ticket/113 | 16:59 |
jlaska | take it away kparal | 16:59 |
kparal | when comparing the exactly same packages the rpmguard will now just skip the comparison and print a notice that they are the same | 16:59 |
kparal | that could save a little computing power | 17:00 |
jlaska | aha, nice ... that test run confused the heck out of me :) | 17:00 |
kparal | it was connected to our problem of comparing the same package unintentionally | 17:00 |
kparal | and second ticket connected to that is https://fedorahosted.org/autoqa/ticket/114 | 17:01 |
kparal | before we compared the current package with the latest package from stable, updates or updates-testing | 17:01 |
kparal | now we compare only to stable and updates, as per discussion on autoqa-devel | 17:02 |
jlaska | nice to see all this stuff getting hashed out | 17:02 |
kparal | and also we compare to the latest *previous* package (so it should not happen to compare two equal packages) | 17:02 |
kparal | this also allows us to run the test any time in the future, even against older packages (in that time already in stable or updates, not in updates-candidate) and receive the same results | 17:03 |
jlaska | oh so if I ran that test again, it should be grabbing ... yup, you just answered it | 17:03 |
kparal | this can be beneficial when we find some problem in autoqa/rpmguard and need to re-run the test suite again | 17:03 |
jlaska | #info I have updated a few tickets regarding rpmguard | 17:04 |

adamw | side note on rpmguard: we should talk about the privesc stuff at some point, since that looks like it may turn into a Real Thing | 17:04 |
* jlaska gets flagged for incorrect use of meetbot | 17:04 | |
kparal | adamw: privesc? | 17:04 |
jlaska | #info adamw discussed possible rpmguard and privilege escalation coordination | 17:05 |
kparal | ah | 17:05 |
jlaska | kparal: that's the security policy Adam'w been working | 17:05 |
kparal | just didn't know the abbreviation :) | 17:05 |
Oxf13 | jlaska: fyi, meetbot picks up links automatically, you don't have to #link them | 17:06 |
jlaska | Oxf13: ah, thx | 17:06 |
kparal | ok, that's all from me | 17:06 |
jlaska | kparal: also the results db discussion earlier, hopefully I can help get some of you and wwoods ideas on "paper" this week | 17:07 |
jlaska | kparal: thanks for the updates! | 17:07 |
kparal | e-paper = wiki :) | 17:07 |
jlaska | you got it | 17:07 |
jlaska | #topic AutoQA project update - install automation | 17:07 |
jlaska | #info Liam added a dvd_install.py script to the autoqa git repo last week | 17:08 |
jlaska | https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/autoqa-devel/2010-January/000178.html | 17:08 |
jlaska | it raises some interesting questions for me on how we'll approach automating the install matrix | 17:08 |
jlaska | wwoods: if you have some time this week, I could use your input on that thread as well | 17:09 |
wwoods | jlaska: yeah I've been meaning to give that a closer look | 17:09 |
jlaska | ah thank you | 17:09 |
jlaska | you know the usual ... trying to figure out what path is the most sustainable and scalable for building new install tests :) | 17:10 |
jlaska | Liam has some more thoughts on the mailing list, I'll try to reply later today | 17:11 |
jlaska | so that's great news, hopefully more install tests to come soon | 17:11 |
jlaska | alright ... last up ... | 17:11 |
jlaska | #topic AutoQA projet update - packaging | 17:11 |
jlaska | #info Process akurtakov's feedback and remove all uncertain JAR files from the list | 17:11 |
jlaska | I've got the list down to as small as I can get it ... adamw suggested reaching out to GWT upstream for some additional feedback | 17:12 |
jlaska | so the plan this week is to Seek guidance from upstream GWT for ... | 17:12 |
jlaska | * Cases where multiple versions of a JAR are bundled | 17:12 |
jlaska | * Need for remaining bundled JARs? (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jlaska/gwt#Status_uncertain) | 17:12 |
jlaska | and ideally, I'd like to have one of the listed JPackage dependencies already started through the Fedora packaging process | 17:13 |
jlaska | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jlaska/gwt#JPackage_Dependencies | 17:13 |
jlaska | aside from that ... I've been going through the gwt.spec and removing JAR files and linking them to their equivalents (and adding BuildRequires) | 17:14 |
jlaska | alright ... open discussion time | 17:14 |
jlaska | #topic Open discussion - <your topic here> | 17:14 |
jlaska | I'll close out the meeting in 2 minutes unless any topics come up | 17:14 |
kparal | ok, one topic from me | 17:14 |
jlaska | kparal: sure, what's up? | 17:14 |
kparal | package update acceptance test plan | 17:14 |
kparal | I just have a quick call for links :) | 17:15 |
jlaska | oh oh, right on | 17:15 |
jlaska | #topic Open discussion - Package Update Acceptance test plan | 17:15 |
jlaska | #info kparal put out a call for links | 17:15 |
jlaska | kparal: what sort of links are you looking for? | 17:15 |
kparal | I'm currently working on package update acceptance test plan, that means what should be our approach to decide if some package update is good or not | 17:15 |
kparal | I am currently looking into other distributions how they do it and trying to gather some inspiration | 17:16 |
kparal | if somebody is aware of some documented policies and have links for them, I will be very glad if you send them to me | 17:16 |
kparal | it is quite possible that I don't find everything that is available | 17:17 |
jlaska | kparal: I wonder if the MUST and SHOULD items could provide some insight - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ReviewGuidelines | 17:17 |
kparal | yes, currently I have found mainly requirements for the initial review process | 17:17 |
kparal | but I haven't found many documents concerning package updates requirements | 17:18 |
adamw | i'm sure debian must have a policy | 17:18 |
jlaska | perhaps what wwoods is working on might be included in the mix? the depscheck stuff | 17:18 |
kparal | it is possible that other distributions also don't have strict policies about that | 17:18 |
kparal | but - if you know about such a policy and have a link, please send it to me. thanks :) | 17:18 |
kparal | that was all from me, just a call for links | 17:19 |
adamw | kparal: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/SoftwareMedia | 17:19 |
adamw | kparal: i wrote that for MDV back when I was there | 17:19 |
jlaska | Oxf13: you have any handy links? | 17:19 |
adamw | kparal: see the definitions for the 'updates' repositories | 17:19 |
kparal | adamw: thanks, will look at that | 17:19 |
adamw | kparal: also see http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Support , the full policy for maintainers about updates | 17:19 |
adamw | kparal: that was written by vincent danen when he was at mandriva, he also now works at red hat so you could always poke him for thoughts :) look for vdanen | 17:20 |
kparal | adamw: great, thx | 17:20 |
Oxf13 | jlaska: I don't | 17:20 |
jlaska | #topic Open discussion - <your topic here> | 17:21 |
jlaska | anything else to cover, if not let's close it out | 17:21 |
adamw | nothing frm me | 17:22 |
jlaska | alright gang, thanks for your time! | 17:22 |
jlaska | I'll follow-up to the list with minutes etc... | 17:22 |
jlaska | #endmeeting | 17:22 |
