[14:02:55] <mvita> w/ wrapping up previous call
[14:03:16] <wiesand> Well I’m glad someone’s here at all ;-)
[14:03:49] <mvita> heh
[14:03:50] <meffie> good day
[14:04:23] <wiesand> So, let’s look at the agenda.
[14:04:36] <wiesand> Most of it is hopeless, but I’ll ask anyway...
[14:04:59] <wiesand> Does someone have an idea for a better fix for the Linux 4.4 splice() issue?
[14:05:30] <wiesand> Does anyone know of anyone working on the identified 4.5 problems?
[14:05:31] <meffie> we've discussed ideas and will be looking into it soonish
[14:05:46] <wiesand> Ah.
[14:05:53] kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl5B83EB95 joins the room
[14:06:07] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl5B83EB95> greetings.
(I'm supposed to be on another call starting shortly; we'll see how
much attention I can pay here)
[14:06:37] <wiesand> Does anyone know whether what Michael Lass posted on -devel is all to fix for 4.5 or just the tip of the iceberg?
[14:06:45] <meffie> greetings ben
[14:07:03] <wiesand> Yes. Glad you recovered.
[14:07:35] <wiesand> Has anyone looked at the 4.6 rcs, or knows anyone who did?
[14:07:38] <meffie> i dont know yet, but hopefully we will find out soon.
[14:07:48] <mvita> I have not had a chance to look at the 4.5 changes recently
[14:09:32] <wiesand> So it seems unlikely we’ll have anything on Linux for the 1.6.18 release.
[14:09:54] <wiesand> Mike: Thanks for rounding up the testers and the first results.
[14:10:37] <wiesand> I think we shouldn’t wait long before releasing 1.6.18.
[14:10:51] <wiesand> Barring negative test results, does next week seem reasonable?
[14:11:21] Daria joins the room
[14:12:00] <mvita> it's a good goal to shoot for
[14:12:02] <meffie> initial reports are fine, i'm still waiting for more.
[14:12:33] <meffie> seems like next week could be ok. i'll prod harder.
[14:13:43] <meffie> i was happy to have responses from people.
[14:14:06] <wiesand> Yes :)
[14:15:00] <wiesand> It’ll be up to you to judge whether we’d lose the opportunity of getting significant additional testing by delaying the release.
[14:15:34] <wiesand> So, on to 1.8?
[14:15:47] <mvita> okay
[14:16:08] <wiesand> Ben, do you have anything?
[14:16:41] <wiesand> If not, there’s my question in the agenda.
[14:17:19] <wiesand> The current branch/release strategy was born quite a while ago. Is this still the way to go?
[14:17:35] <meffie> hmm, i think it does.
[14:19:40] <mvita> I think so too, if only to change "one thing at a time" - that is, get a stable 1.8 before adding rxgk to the mix
[14:21:23] <wiesand> Fine. It was a question.
[14:21:31] <mvita> (lag?)
[14:21:31] mvita leaves the room
[14:21:31] <meffie> (ping)
[14:21:31] meffie leaves the room
[14:21:39] meffie joins the room
[14:21:54] <wiesand> yes, something’s weird
[14:22:01] <meffie> (pong)
[14:22:09] mvita joins the room
[14:22:11] <meffie> (ok, back)
[14:22:23] <wiesand> good
[14:22:24] <mvita> yes, back
[14:22:28] <wiesand> fine
[14:23:01] <wiesand> It probably was an academic question anyway.
[14:23:17] <wiesand> So, anything else to discuss today?
[14:23:32] <wiesand> NB CERN decided to phase out AFS
[14:23:43] <meffie> ok, thanks.
[14:24:00] <wiesand> FNAL will shut down their cell next month
[14:24:28] <meffie> yes, that is sad.
[14:24:47] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl5B83EB95> > Ben, do you have anything?
Mike needs to tidy up a couple of external-log bits, and IIRC we're
still waiting for akeyconvert review
[14:25:15] <meffie> thanks for the comments, i'll tidy up today.
[14:25:35] <wiesand> I forgot: what else ore the blockers for 1.8?
[14:28:34] <meffie> i dont think there are other blockers.
[14:28:54] <meffie> (was the rxopaque workaround merged?)
[14:29:25] <wiesand> Sounds close.
[14:29:29] <wiesand> 12115 was merged
[14:30:02] <meffie> yes, 12115, thanks.
[14:30:28] <wiesand> What are the 1.8 killer features?
[14:31:17] <meffie> so, any testing of akeyconvert would be helpful.
[14:32:27] <meffie> i think the main features of 1.8 are the code modernization efforts
[14:32:46] <wiesand> Hard to sell...
[14:33:09] <meffie> yes, true.
[14:34:37] <meffie> i could see a 2.0 roadmap that had rxgk, ipv6, and large directories
[14:35:01] <wiesand> Will sell much better.
[14:35:54] <meffie> absolutely would.
[14:36:54] <meffie> for today tho, it would help to test and review 11786
[14:38:23] <meffie> and thanks for getting the 1.6.18 rc 1. i'll ping the sites that said they are running it.
[14:38:40] <wiesand> Ok, thanks.
[14:38:50] <wiesand> I guess we’re finished for today?
[14:39:06] <meffie> ok, thanks.
[14:39:06] <mvita> can't think of anything else atm
[14:39:18] <mvita> thank you Stephan
[14:39:24] <wiesand> Fine. Thanks a lot!
[14:39:48] <wiesand> So, off to the conference dinner ;-)
[14:39:55] <meffie> have fun!
[14:40:09] <wiesand> Thanks. Bye.
