[15:57:50] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> I appear to actually be here at the moment, though I expect a baby to
start demanding food within 20 minutes or so...
[15:58:11] <meffie> greetings!
[15:58:46] <wiesand> Hello
[15:59:01] <meffie> how are the babies?
[16:00:27] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> They are strong, with powerful lungs ;)
[16:00:36] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> which is to say, healthy and growing well
[16:00:52] <mvitale> heh
[16:00:57] <meffie> yay! congratulations
[16:01:03] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> thanks!
[16:01:19] <wiesand> yes, glad to hear that
[16:01:36] <wiesand> re 1.8.9pre1: I uploaded it (but haven't released the volumes yet) and prepared the web change (gerrit 15141) and a draft announcement, see https://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~wiesand/189draft.txt
[16:02:25] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> +1
[16:02:37] <wiesand> could you have a look, and if things look ok we'd ask Ben for the tag and unleash it?
[16:03:15] <meffie> +1 lgtm
[16:03:19] <mvitale> +1
[16:03:48] <wiesand> great - Ben, could you please push the tag?
[16:03:59] <meffie> oh should that be https: ?
[16:04:18] <meffie> (ben likes https over http if i recall :)
[16:04:46] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> dl.openafs.org doesn't serve https
[16:04:57] <wiesand> I think we haven't used https in the past, and there are issues
[16:05:14] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> Maybe we should pester jhutz/cg2v about that, but it is not a blocker.
[16:05:23] Cheyenne joins the room
[16:05:28] <Cheyenne> Hello all
[16:06:03] <meffie> oh, i see, the cert expired some time ago. nevermind.
[16:06:43] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> To ssh://gerrit.openafs.org/openafs.git
* [new tag]               openafs-stable-1_8_9pre1 -> openafs-stable-1_8_9pre1
[16:08:02] <meffie> woot
[16:08:08] <wiesand> Thanks. Feel free to keep chatting while I release volumes etc.
[16:09:14] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> I've prioritized the AIX, macOS, and linux stuff this week.
Probably not much to talk about them for this audience, though.
[16:09:30] <meffie> thanks Ben.
[16:09:52] <mvitale> excellent
[16:11:33] <meffie> so i just noticed the max pathname of the ThisCell file is only 255 (stack allocated) characters.  do we care? i have a patch that changes it to be formatted with asprintf() (with other cleanups).
[16:12:03] <kaduk@jabber.openafs.org/barnowl> time for me to disappear, sorry.
[16:12:09] <Cheyenne> re: linux 6.0 -- just need to do a minor cleanup on the commit -- I'll be removing the '# error' and the associated autoconf test
[16:12:34] <meffie> thanks Cheyenne.  good bye Ben!
[16:16:29] <wiesand> so… volumes released, web change brought live and looks good, announcement sent, -announce admins pestered to please let it pass
[16:17:58] <meffie> hooray!
[16:18:58] <mvitale> Thank you Stephan!
[16:19:49] <wiesand> well, thank *you* for your changes and all your help and patience with me
[16:22:16] <wiesand> hopefully, 1.8.9 final will go out a bit more swiftly - the code is already being used out there, hence we can probably make the trial period rather short - mybe even just a week?
[16:22:30] <meffie> yes
[16:22:49] <Cheyenne> +1
[16:23:32] <wiesand> good, thanks
[16:23:51] <wiesand> that's all I had on my agenda for today - anything else?
[16:23:55] <mvitale> okay, I have nothing further and need to drop
[16:23:59] <mvitale> have a good weekend
[16:24:13] <Cheyenne> have a good week everyone
[16:24:16] <meffie> i have nothing else, just more gerrits to review.
[16:24:35] <wiesand> Let's adjourn then. Thanks a lot everyone!
