[14:00:58] <wiesand> Hi. Anyone here?
[14:01:14] <mvita> oops, sorry Stephan, yup I'm here
[14:01:35] <mvita> how are you?
[14:01:38] <wiesand> Sorry for what?
[14:01:50] <wiesand> I’m fine. How are you?
[14:02:04] <mvita> sorry I forgot it was 10:00
[14:02:08] <mvita> I'm well.
[14:02:21] <mvita> actually being productive lately, so that's always nice for a change
[14:02:57] <wiesand> I failed to post an invitation/agenda for a number of reasons.
[14:03:09] <wiesand> One of them is #133060
[14:03:14] <mvita> aye
[14:03:23] <mvita> sorry, I know you hate those
[14:03:49] <wiesand> Well, it allows me to lean back and see what happens now ;-)
[14:04:20] <mvita> indeed
[14:04:40] <wiesand> There’s not much coming up for 1.6.n+1 right now anyway, so no big deal.
[14:05:37] <wiesand> What I hate about them is that they tend to make everything else stuck. That’s currently not an issue.
[14:05:55] <mvita> okay
[14:06:01] <wiesand> Unless I missed anything?
[14:06:40] <mvita> I've been pretty focused on that for the last week, so I'm not the person to ask about pending 1.6.x stuff right now
[14:06:54] <wiesand> 12279 looks important, but it’s not for 1.6.
[14:07:32] <mvita> yes, pretty important
[14:07:52] <wiesand> Other than that, minor fixes merged on master recently. Most may not even qualify for being pulled up.
[14:07:55] <meffie> yes, we should do a backport of that cluster of patches for 1.6
[14:08:23] <mvita> I can't remember if the problem is in 1.6.x too - but meffie knows!
[14:08:23] <meffie> assuming they hit master first.
[14:08:28] <mvita> yeah
[14:08:38] <wiesand> And the Linux stuff of course.
[14:08:47] <wiesand> 12279 is not needed on 1.6.
[14:08:51] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> Any chances of more code review on the linux stuff?
[14:09:01] <mvita> I did some more poking around on Linux 4.4 yesterday, didn't get very far
[14:09:14] <Jeffrey Altman> hello
[14:09:18] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> (N.B. that 4.6 is out, though I haven't tried a build on it yet.)
[14:09:20] <mvita> hello
[14:09:41] <wiesand> NB new problem report on -info today
[14:09:44] <Jeffrey Altman> the RECFOUNDDB issue is present on 1.6.  The other one is not.
[14:09:46] <wiesand> Hello
[14:10:29] <wiesand> Which one is RECFOUNDDB?
[14:10:56] <wiesand> 12281
[14:11:12] <Jeffrey Altman> the initial merge of vfs changes for linux 4.7 broke the world.  btrfs and ext4 both crash at the moment but we are sure they will be fixed before the first release candidate
[14:11:15] <wiesand> Yes, that looked like a candidate to me
[14:11:42] <wiesand> Sounds promising :-( But thanks
[14:12:42] <wiesand> Ben: I wish I could help...
[14:14:19] <mvita> Ben:  if you are asking about linux45 topic, I will take a look after our meeting.
[14:14:45] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> mvita: I am indeed; thanks
[14:15:22] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> Also (I think this was you), you should feel free to push a patch on top
of mine with the little whitespace or comment fix that you wanted done
since I was in the area already.
[14:15:41] <mvita> I did work on the rebase for 11793 last week but got stuck - I believe Thomas Keiser will take it up instead
[14:16:06] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> good to know
[14:17:48] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> Do we know if Marcio (or anyone, really) is planning to revise 12239
(pkgbuild for os x)?
[14:17:48] <wiesand> Ben: Are we still planning for 1.6.18.1 and a 1.6.19 maintenance release?
[14:19:12] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> I actually wasn't sure whether the linux45 stuff was going to be a
1.6.18.1 or just roll into 1.6.19, but yes.
[14:20:29] <wiesand> I think it depends on what we have ready. If it’s just Linux 4.5 and maybe OS X packaging, 1.6.18.1 would seem more natural to me.
[14:20:37] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> Fair enough.
[14:21:06] <wiesand> And wouldn’t require a prerelease IMO.
[14:21:17] <meffie> yes, marcio said he was making updates to 12239
[14:21:30] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> Excellent, thanks for the heads-up.
[14:22:05] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> I did update 11629 in response to review comments, though I left the
parameter in KB for now.  Feel free to tell me that the automatic
fall-back to -S/-L is silly and I should drop it and go with MB.
[14:23:07] <meffie> oh, i had some questions for 11629. i'll put them in the gerrit.
[14:23:30] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> Thanks
[14:23:49] <meffie> thanks for pushing that one forward.
[14:23:55] <wiesand> I have no strong feelings regarding KB vs MB
[14:26:18] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> (I mean, most of why I left it at KB is that that was less work to redo
the patch.)
[14:27:02] <mvita> ;-)
[14:27:12] <wiesand> Good reason
[14:28:00] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> So, I'll probably re-review 7896 before merging, but it's probably in
reasonable shape.  12240 could use some more review, though.
[14:28:43] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> 11349 got merge, and either Tom or Marcio are planning to update the
other changes on the "should be addressed before branching" list
[14:28:55] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> *got merged, sorry
[14:29:21] <wiesand> Good new.
[14:29:38] <wiesand> I’m surprised that nobody complained about 12240 yet.
[14:30:17] <wiesand> "one more knob"... "someone will turn it on and get bitten"...
[14:30:59] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> "Enh, detached mode is experimental, and we don't get too many people
complaining about how it bit them"
[14:32:41] <mvita> while we are talking about obscure features - do any of you know of sites using cachebypass?  Just curious.
[14:33:01] <mvita> it's tangential to one of my current tickets
[14:33:11] <wiesand> not me
[14:37:17] <wiesand> More to discuss today?
[14:37:35] <mvita> can't think of a thing.
[14:38:08] <meffie> i have nothing
[14:39:10] <wiesand> Ok. I’m going to leave soon then. Thanks all!
[14:39:27] <mvita> later,thanks
[14:40:05] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl952DBC2F> thanks; catch you later
