[14:01:13] Marc Dionne joins the room
[14:02:49] <wiesand> Hello
[14:03:06] <wiesand> Mi Mar{c,k} ;-)
[14:03:26] <wiesand> Marc, any Linux news?
[14:03:36] <meffie> hello :)
[14:03:50] <wiesand> Hi Mike. NB Daria will be a few minutes late.
[14:04:22] <Marc Dionne> nothing special for 4.2.  just the new change which could be helpful
[14:05:01] <wiesand> Without it, the limit is 40 dirs, but with it 40 mount points?
[14:05:41] <Marc Dionne> pretty much.  without it, doing ls /very/long/path (40+) gets ELOOP, although it succeeds if you retry right after
[14:06:51] <wiesand> My users are capable of creating setups requiring this...
[14:07:00] <Marc Dionne> but it would be good if someone could confirm that it doesn't make the old problems reappear when aliases are present (oopses in may_delete, etc.).  with new kernels those don't occur
[14:07:35] <Marc Dionne> i added Andrew as a reviewer, hopefully he gets a chance to have a look
[14:07:48] <wiesand> Are there reproducers available?
[14:09:17] <Marc Dionne> i can't reproduce the old oopses on new kernels, at least with what I think should cause problems
[14:09:37] <wiesand> I have those good old EL kernels ;-)
[14:10:29] <Marc Dionne> i think there are some command sequences in some rt tickets somewhere
[14:11:50] <wiesand> The real tests run after the release these days.
[14:12:36] <wiesand> Linux 4.2 ETA is in ~2 weeks?
[14:13:41] <Marc Dionne> i would guess maybe closer to 3, average is probably 7 RCs or so
[14:14:37] <wiesand> I thought rc7 is an exception. Anyway, be it 2 or 3, we should probably aim for a 1.6.x.1 release with just the Linux 4.2 changes, and then go on with 1.6.x+1.
[14:15:39] <wiesand> Best case we get out 1.6.x+1pre1 before my vacation (= August 20)
[14:16:39] <Marc Dionne> the number or RCs is variable and not necessarily predictable.  although it looks like it has been a quiet cycle so far
[14:17:10] <wiesand> Thanks.
[14:17:55] <wiesand> Does anyone think we can get much more done before we need a release to support Linux 4.2 (and backports of the breakage to Ubuntu LTS sonn after)?
[14:19:12] <wiesand> Does anyone share my opinion that we can’t?
[14:19:13] <meffie> probably not. i'm on vacation now, and the workshop is soon.
[14:19:45] <wiesand> Thanks a lot for being here anyway :)
[14:20:37] <wiesand> Also thanks for going though the lists of changes.
[14:20:56] <meffie> sorry for the delay.
[14:21:15] <wiesand> You’re right about 11618. There’s even a comment by me on 11680 to that effect.
[14:21:32] <wiesand> NP. The current delays are due to “other issues” once more.
[14:22:04] <meffie> ok, i might have submitted that gerrit more than once.
[14:22:31] <wiesand> The first one was submitted by me, the second one by you ;-)
[14:22:40] <wiesand> And I merged yours...
[14:22:47] <wiesand> I’ll abandon mine.
[14:23:09] <meffie> sorry i missed yours.
[14:23:50] <shadow@gmail.com/barnowlC9C9D81E> hi
[14:23:57] <wiesand> NP. The reviewers did too. (do you have that “next one please” joke?)
[14:24:04] <wiesand> Hi Daria.
[14:24:39] <meffie> hello Daria
[14:25:29] <wiesand> NB Ben just excused himself.
[14:27:53] <wiesand> Mike: pulling up those commits on master still doesn’t make too much sense at present IMO.
[14:28:15] <wiesand> We’d have to rebase even more afterwards.
[14:28:49] <meffie> you mean the ones already on master?
[14:28:55] <wiesand> NB changes to the redhat spec on master are being ignored since a while.
[14:28:57] <wiesand> (yes)
[14:29:17] <wiesand> Is it time to rip redhat packaging out of master altogether?
[14:29:27] <wiesand> So we could get fixes into 1.6.x.
[14:30:10] <Jeffrey Altman> I'm involved with a meeting with the Foundation Board.  Sorry I am unable to participate today
[14:30:39] <wiesand> Thanks for letting us know.
[14:33:31] <wiesand> I think it would be a bit premature to go through the 1.6.x+1 candidate lists today.
[14:34:48] <wiesand> Anything else to discuss today?
[14:35:46] <meffie> i dont have anything else.
[14:35:57] <mvita> any news on security release?
[14:36:56] <wiesand> No...
[14:37:58] <mvita> please let me know if there's anything I can do to help
[14:38:13] <wiesand> Sure.

[14:40:59] shadow@gmail.com/barnowlC9C9D81E joins the room
[14:44:01] <wiesand> I think I’ll call it a day then.
[14:44:27] <mvita> okay, thank you Stephan.
[14:44:40] <wiesand> Thanks a lot everyone!
[14:44:43] <meffie> thanks!
