[06:39:43] Jeffrey Altman joins the room
[13:52:21] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> Hmm, has my client gotten so stale that it can't send anymore?
[13:52:38] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> Looks like "no".
[14:00:16] meffie joins the room
[14:01:24] wiesnad joins the room
[14:01:38] <wiesnad> no
[14:02:14] wiesnad leaves the room
[14:02:31] wiesand joins the room
[14:02:40] <wiesand> handle better now?
[14:02:53] <wiesand> Hello
[14:03:56] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> Hand is usable at this point, though it will be another couple weeks
before it's fully better, I expect.
[14:05:36] <wiesand> Ah, your hand… sorry you're still not well
[14:06:53] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> At this point it's just a scab and "doctor, it hurts when I poke at
it".
[14:07:22] <wiesand> I just merged what had been discussed last week, and am deploying a last test build.
[14:07:27] <mvita> our mtg ran long
[14:07:32] <mvita> wrapping up now
[14:08:23] <mvita> ok, present
[14:08:32] <meffie> hi
[14:08:39] <wiesand> Struggling with my EL7 test VM (or rather the idiosyncrasies of the rpm dependency generator)
[14:09:47] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> I can recommend the apt dependency resolver; it produces only the
finest inscrutable installation errors.
[14:10:12] <mvita> heh - what more could you want?
[14:10:12] <meffie> heh
[14:11:05] <wiesand> rpm kabi deps get wedged when you have LANG set to a UTF8 locale and LC_ALL=""
[14:11:49] <wiesand> but once that's sorted out we could release 1.6.19pre1
[14:12:20] <meffie> yay
[14:15:44] <mvita> re: linux
[14:16:10] <mvita> I still owe new patchsets for 12390 and 12391
[14:16:15] <mvita> should get that done today
[14:16:21] <mvita> both needed for 4.9
[14:17:17] <wiesand> hmm, I have discovered a new flavour of the kabi deps problem - will have to sort that out offline. no pre1 today :-(
[14:17:18] <mvita> there is another change on my radar for 4.9, I need to confirm it actually got merged for 4.9 (have_submounts replaced)
[14:18:10] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> Oops, I just pushed modified commit messages for 12390 and 12391.
[14:18:41] <mvita> I also have new patchset(s) coming for  Solaris build w/ the latest Studio 12.5 compiler
[14:19:38] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> Am I supposed to be looking at meffie for the getcwd updates?
[14:20:08] <mvita> well, Joe, but he's out at present
[14:20:28] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> Ah.  Determinate or indeterminate length of outness?
[14:20:40] <mvita> Determinate.  I will tell him you inquired.
[14:20:47] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> Thanks.
[14:20:49] <mvita> he plans to be back tomorrow iirc
[14:21:01] <meffie> correct.
[14:21:18] <wiesand> hmm, 12391 commit message still says it's for 4.8
[14:21:25] <mvita> I will change it
[14:21:34] <mvita> I knew it was wrong shortly after I wrote it
[14:21:37] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> I guess I missed a spot.
[14:21:41] <mvita> but haven't gotten to fixing it yet
[14:21:55] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> I had to move over to the linux VM to get the linux commit hashes and
that probably tripped me up.
[14:21:56] <mvita> that's why it was marked do not submit
[14:22:04] <mvita> (among other reasons)
[14:22:40] <meffie> kadukoafs: also, got clobbered by meetings, still working on NEWS. I'll target end of day friday for a push to gerrit.
[14:22:51] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> *nods*
thanks
[14:22:52] <mvita> it will be fixed today, "good Lord willing and the creek don't rise"
[14:25:42] <meffie> do we have anything else pressing?
[14:26:13] <wiesand> probably not
[14:26:24] <wiesand> AFS presentations at hepix tomorrow…
[14:26:29] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> 12416 reminds me that before the alpha1 is probably the least bad time
to axe windows support
[14:26:31] <mvita> oh?
[14:27:14] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> There's still not a buildbot, N months after I posted a call for help.
[14:27:32] <mvita> 12416 not found
[14:27:47] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/c/12416/
[14:28:37] <mvita> "Code review - error"  The page you requested was not found, or you do not have permission to view this page.
[14:28:50] <wiesand> same here
[14:29:08] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> Oh, apparently it's a draft change, whoops.
[14:29:13] <wiesand> But yes, I meant to ask whether src/WINNT should be jettisoned
[14:29:42] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> The problems of using the account with godlike powers for everyday
use, I guess.
[14:30:29] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> Oh look, and it's time for my other meeting
[14:31:09] <mvita> can we talk about windows some more at the next mtg?
[14:32:03] <wiesand> btw hepix is streamed: https://video.lbl.gov/1/page/LiveEvents.aspx
[14:32:31] <mvita> thanks for the link
[14:32:37] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> Yes, thanks for the link
[14:33:23] <mvita> hmm, that's not far from here…. I wish I had known.
[14:34:51] <kadukoafs@gmail.com/barnowl9C09F4AA> sure, we can talk about windows next week
[14:35:19] <wiesand> ok, if I force installation of the kernel module it works, smoke test looks good, so we could proceed with 1.6.19pre1
[14:35:35] <wiesand> shall we? or wait and include Linux 4.9 bits?
[14:36:40] <mvita> I'll push the 4.9 bits this afternoon - however, I don't mind if you don't want to wait
[14:37:03] <mvita> they should probably get some review and additional testing before going into a -pre
[14:39:05] <wiesand> ok, let's go for pre1 now - there are some fixes in there we should get out the door
[14:39:26] <wiesand> Anything else to discuss today?
[14:41:53] <wiesand> I guess not. I hope I'll find the time to upload pre1 tarballs and send a draft announcement to release-team later today.
[14:42:06] <wiesand> Let's adjourn then. Thanks alot everyone!
[14:42:10] wiesand leaves the room
[14:44:05] <mvita> thanks.
