[15:00:55] <wiesand> Hello
[15:01:30] <meffie> hello
[15:01:53] <wiesand> Thanks for that fix
[15:02:19] <wiesand> How urgent is this to get released?
[15:04:09] <meffie> i dont think too urgent. it only happens when the root volume is not found (e.g. the servers are not running) and -dynroot is off.
[15:04:38] <wiesand> How did you notice? Customer report? Tests?
[15:04:53] <meffie> it was reported to me

[15:05:14] <mvita> hello
[15:05:25] <wiesand> Hi Mark
[15:05:45] <meffie> the site that reported it has a workaround in place for now.
[15:06:48] <wiesand> I figure it could be really nasty when a non-dynroot shop is having trouble :-(
[15:06:52] <meffie> wiesand, dont feel bad about the bug. it was an easy thing to miss.
[15:07:25] <wiesand> Thanks. I still do though.
[15:07:25] <meffie> at least it happens on startup (right away).
[15:08:07] <wiesand> Imagine getting your site up again after a power cut...
[15:08:33] <meffie> hmm. yes.
[15:09:50] <wiesand> So that’s a major item for 1.6.17.
[15:10:00] <wiesand> Is anyone here bearing any Linux news?
[15:10:57] <wiesand> I guess this means we can actually start working on 1.6.17.
[15:11:04] <mvita> yay!
[15:11:54] <wiesand> Maybe Linux patches will be developed once Ubuntu 16.04 is released...
[15:12:50] <meffie> i need to push the suggestions andrew made for shake-loose-vcaches. we should get those into 1.6.17.
[15:13:21] <wiesand> If it’s ready, fine.
[15:13:40] <wiesand> Seems more complicated than initially believed though...
[15:13:46] <meffie> or just push patchset 1 as a 1.6.x only fix :)
[15:14:30] <meffie> it is a pretty nasty bug.
[15:16:10] <meffie> that's all i got for 1.6.17.
[15:16:25] <wiesand> Good.
[15:17:23] <mvita> ooh shiny - gerrit now has a button for launchpad on the login screen
[15:17:30] <wiesand> We should merge the relatively trivial ones from the backlog, and maybe some recently merged on master.
[15:18:01] <wiesand> I’ll have to work on that. Had not much time lately though.
[15:18:22] <wiesand> And was hoping for Linux 4.4 fixes for a 1.6.16.1
[15:19:15] <mvita> looks like I have some stuff that needs rebased (like the large volume fixes)
[15:20:06] <wiesand> which were... ?
[15:20:50] <mvita> 11983-11986
[15:21:20] <wiesand> ah, still on master
[15:21:45] <mvita> yes, sorry
[15:22:18] <wiesand> some +1s on 12129 would be nice
[15:23:08] <wiesand> or are those \n unnecessary in 1.6?
[15:24:16] <wiesand> But I hope to prepare a list of changes headed for 1.6.17 and needing review for the next meeting.
[15:25:07] <wiesand> I think we should keep 1.6.17 lean and simple, and aim for a pre1 a fortnight from now.
[15:26:18] <meffie> they are not strictly necessary, but the log is hard to read without them.
[15:26:52] <meffie> ok
[15:27:46] <mvita> 12129 +1
[15:27:57] <wiesand> Thanks.
[15:28:27] <mvita> I will go through my gerrit backlog on Thurs or Fri
[15:29:17] <wiesand> Ok. And I’ll hopefully get my homework done before Tuesday.
[15:30:44] <wiesand> Then we should finalize the list of changes we want for 1.6.17 during the next meeting.
[15:30:58] <mvita> ok
[15:31:11] <wiesand> Anything else to discuss today?
[15:31:37] <mvita> can't think of anything
[15:32:16] <wiesand> Fine. Thanks a lot for having been here today!
[15:32:35] <mvita> you're welcome and thank you.
[15:32:35] <meffie> thanks, have a good evening.
[15:32:51] <wiesand> Byebye then.
