| * wwoods | 10:07 | |
| * notting is here | 10:09 | |
| * lmacken here for a minute | 10:10 | |
| f13 | low attendance today, but that's ok, not much to talk about. | 10:12 |
| -!- f13 changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: fedora releng - compose process | 10:12 | |
| f13 | last week, notting skvidal and I had a call to walk through the current compose processes for both rawhide and bodhi | 10:12 |
| f13 | we were keeping an eye out for areas that we could improve the speed given today's software features | 10:12 |
| f13 | We identified a number of things to look at and each of us took away a few action items. | 10:13 |
| f13 | We plan to meet again soon and discuss our work and see if we're ready to implement anything. | 10:13 |
| lmacken | sounds like a good fudcon hackfest | 10:14 |
| f13 | well, we will probably have stuff doen before then | 10:14 |
| lmacken | even better | 10:14 |
| f13 | for fudcon, I'm a bit more interested in finding places to insert any kind of QA | 10:14 |
| lmacken | let me know how I can help, although I may not have many free cycles before FUDCon | 10:14 |
| * poelcat here | 10:15 | |
| f13 | nod | 10:16 |
| f13 | any further thoughts on this subject? | 10:16 |
| f13 | alright movin gon. | 10:18 |
| -!- f13 changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Fedora releng - Ticket management | 10:18 | |
| f13 | so for fun last week I started writing a toolset that will allow us to manage trac tickets (and milestones) via a python library to interact with the xmlrpc interface | 10:19 |
| f13 | I also wrote a simple command line tool that uses the python api | 10:19 |
| f13 | It's pretty raw right now, but it supports listing tickets by query, listing milestones, getting information about a specific ticket, getting information about a specific milestone, filing a new ticket, creating a new milestone, and updating (including closing) an existing ticket. | 10:20 |
| f13 | Mostly I wanted an easy way to create all the F11 milestones and tickets within the milestones. I'm probably not going to use the script itself, but rather the python api directly so that I can make better use of multicall (send everything at once to the xmlrpc server, rather than loop over each call) | 10:21 |
| f13 | One cool thing we can do with this is perhaps integrate it with the Makefile.common so that one could do 'make tag-request' in order to file a tag request with rel-eng | 10:22 |
| rdieter | neat | 10:23 |
| f13 | this is I think a suitable replacement for the ability to email the trac queue, especially because it'll require authentication and we'll have a valid email address that will get into the ticket. | 10:23 |
| f13 | The script and API need a lot of work to shore up error catching, and to prevent you from doing silly things it allows like setting a resolution without closing, setting it to a component that doesn't exist, setting it to a milestone that doesn't exist, etc... | 10:24 |
| f13 | but it's working for now, and I think that'll be a good fudcon hackfest item | 10:24 |
| f13 | any further thoughts on offtrac ? (https://fedorahosted.org/offtrac/ ) | 10:25 |
| f13 | alright | 10:26 |
| -!- f13 changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Fedora Release Engineering - open floor | 10:26 | |
| f13 | I got nothing else for this meeting | 10:26 |
| wwoods | only to say: we should see about getting (co-)maintainers for offtrac / python-bugzilla | 10:26 |
| wwoods | because there are large, well-defined chunks of the year where we're not really at liberty to spend a lot of cycles pushing out bugfixes to packages | 10:27 |
| wwoods | no matter how urgently people need 'em | 10:27 |
| f13 | I haven't yet packaged offtrac for Fedora, mostly because I'm not sure where to make the split or if to make a split | 10:28 |
| f13 | but yeah, I'd welcome anybody wanting to help out with it | 10:28 |
| rdieter | I can try to help out, flexing some packager-fu (soonish) | 10:29 |
| f13 | heh | 10:30 |
| wwoods | (props to jds2001 / abadger1999 for assisting with python-bugzilla in the past) | 10:30 |
| f13 | I'm still battling a bad cold so I'm going to be off/on today. GOing to try to get an updates push out, read email and such, but may be non-responsive for a bit. | 10:30 |
| mitr | Has anybody looked at the 0.90 signing server release? Is it something you'd want to deploy? | 10:31 |
| f13 | mitr: sadly I haven't had time to look at it. I do want to though. | 10:31 |
| f13 | if anybody else wants to give it a look, please please do! | 10:32 |
| jwb | mitr, do you have a VCS repo for it? | 10:33 |
| mitr | jwb: Not currently. | 10:33 |
| jwb | can you get one set up on fedorahosted? | 10:33 |
| mitr | Does it make sense to take over fedorahosted/sigul ? | 10:34 |
| jwb | probably? | 10:34 |
| jwb | f13? | 10:34 |
| f13 | sure | 10:36 |
| f13 | mitr: you're sponsored now | 10:39 |
| mitr | f13: Thanks | 10:39 |
| f13 | alright anything else? | 10:39 |
| f13 | ok, thanks all! | 10:41 |
