[17:00:14] <meffie> good afternoon
[17:02:15] wiesand joins the room
[17:03:04] <wiesand> Hello
[17:03:40] <wiesand> o… o… o…
[17:05:28] <meffie> hi
[17:05:30] <wiesand> Hmm, maybe I should start anyway, so here we go:
[17:06:23] <wiesand> Pulled up a couple of changes from the 1.8.7 widh list after the last meeting. All were reviewed (thanks!), and most favourably.
[17:07:19] <wiesand> Some dispute regarding 14436 - should it wait for 1.8.8?
[17:08:12] cwills joins the room
[17:08:16] <meffie> either way is ok with me.
[17:08:22] <cwills> Hello all
[17:09:15] <wiesand> 14433 didn't get marked "verified" by buildbot. Looks like the failed wins2019 builds were retried, and successfully. Is it ok to mark it "verified" manually?
[17:09:16] <cwills> re 14436 - either way is fine with me as well. I did add a gerrit comment
[17:09:59] <wiesand> I'm leaning towards "include it right away, make sure it's mentioned in the release notes".
[17:10:13] <meffie> that sounds good to me.
[17:10:41] <wiesand> Agreed then ;-)
[17:10:56] <meffie> it's always better to give a more accurate code even if it is not pretty :)
[17:11:44] <wiesand> The wish list has gotten much shorter, but there's still some work to do:
[17:12:09] <wiesand> 14208 is not a clean pullup - haven't investigated yet
[17:14:10] <wiesand> 14213 isn't either - it's probably trivial to move the one-line change from cellconfig.c to writeconfig.c, but it will add to the code skew and I'd rather add the missing changes. Tried on top of 14075, but that isn't sufficient. Opinions/help welcome.
[17:14:13] <meffie> gerrit note at the bottom says the 1.8 version is 14326
[17:14:15] <cwills> There is some vos and vsprocs cleanup that where just merged into master.. I don't believe there are any functional changes.
[17:14:41] <cwills> (14008, 14009, 14004)
[17:15:21] <meffie> gerrit note at the bottom of 14208 says the 1.8 version is 14326
[17:15:21] <wiesand> 14008, 14009, 14004 earmarked
[17:18:21] <cwills> (14007)
[17:21:16] <wiesand> I'll have to look into 14208/14326 in a quiet minute.
[17:21:56] <meffie> i dont think you want to pullup all the changes before 14213 to the stable branch. those rework a lot of code in prep for other changes.
[17:22:13] <cwills> Clean master & 1.8.x build against linux-5.10-rc4+
[17:22:21] <wiesand> Thanks.
[17:23:35] <wiesand> Mike: thanks too. Alas, that missing code rework tends to cause a lot of skew and thus real problems later on.
[17:23:51] <meffie> yes, understood
[17:24:11] <wiesand> (unless the branch is largely retired to "security only" mode)
[17:24:23] <meffie> it's all part of the work to retire the bosserver from making client directories ;)
[17:24:51] <meffie> which i suppose would be good to have on a stable branch some day.
[17:25:17] <wiesand> A conversation in gerrit also mentioned whether we can't just have 14294 and 14295 pulled up. Gave it a try, not trivial either.
[17:25:52] <wiesand> The remainder of my 1.8.7 list is FBSD and aklog.
[17:27:04] <meffie> i wonder why 14294 is not trival.
[17:28:41] <wiesand> I think 14294 is, but 14295 isn't, and for some reason I have them glued together.
[17:28:41] <meffie> 14295 could be harder
[17:29:57] <meffie> there are likely many many unit test changes on the master branch not on the stable branch, so 14295 would not cleanly apply
[17:30:51] <meffie> i expect there would need to be a backport of 14295
[17:32:14] <wiesand> Is that backport, or (preferrably) chasing the missing unit test changes worth the effort?
[17:32:17] <meffie> those patches are just to improve the test reporting on the buildbot, so are not urgent.
[17:33:24] <meffie> i'm not sure if you can just chase all the missing test changes, because the tests need to match the code in the branch :)
[17:33:26] <wiesand> some changes warrant a certain effort just because they're useful, even if they aren't urgent
[17:33:50] <meffie> s/if you/if we/
[17:34:08] <meffie> i can take a look to see.
[17:34:19] <meffie> instead of just guessing
[17:34:29] <wiesand> anyway, I'll not block 1.8.7 on those two, and I agree they're not that urgent
[17:34:42] <meffie> thank you
[17:35:02] <wiesand> just saw them mentioned, gave them a try, failed, reported that here - that's it
[17:36:08] <wiesand> That's about what I have on 1.8.x for today.
[17:36:24] <meffie> thank you wiesand
[17:36:48] <wiesand> Ben indeed seems to be in IEEE mode today.
[17:37:02] <wiesand> Anything else to discuss here and now?
[17:37:27] <meffie> i have nothing
[17:38:19] <wiesand> Let's adjourn then. Thanks a lot Cheyenne and Mike! And since it's before our next meeting: Happy Thanksgiving!
[17:38:30] <cwills> Thankjs
[17:38:35] <meffie> oh, yes, thank you! have a good weekend.
[17:38:45] <cwills> Stay safe everyone
