There is one mschwent had, but also one mmcgrath had setup... 00:04:39 < knurd> | but the one from mschwendt looks way better 00:05:10 < knurd> | nirik, did mschwendt install it as a cron job somewhere? 00:05:18 < smooge> | potty break 00:05:18 < knurd> | I thought he just kicked it manually 00:05:24 < nirik> | no idea.

So mschwents is better 00:06:47 < knurd> | smooge, do you have access to the machined wher the old script ran? 00:07:01 < knurd> | or shall we just ask mschwendt to install his somewhere? 00:07:20 < knurd> | he likely has permissions to do so 00:07:52 < smooge> | no I don't mmcgrath sent out an email a while back 00:08:02 < smooge> | with the script in it. 00:08:20 < nirik> | http://mschwendt.fedorapeople.org/extras-repoclosure-modified-20080115.tgz is mschewnts script 00:09:26 < knurd> | so, how to move on? ask mschwendt to install is? nirik, or do you want to handle that? you likely have the needed permissions as well 00:09:42 --> | mdomsch (Matt_Domsch) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:10:11 < smooge> | mdomsch, has permission to. he can do anything :) 00:10:17 < nirik> | sure, I can ask him if we can just run it on the buildsys box, or what. 00:10:27 < knurd> | nirik, k, thx 00:10:38 --> | JonRob (purple) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:10:40 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL SIG Meeting | next testing -> stable move | knurd | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/NextTestingStableMove 00:10:50 < knurd> | is prepared; docs were imrpoved as well 00:11:06 < knurd> | the whole preparation can be done in about 10 or 15 minutes 00:11:15 < knurd> | maybe even less with a quick machine 00:11:31 < knurd> | any questions? otherwise I'll quickly move on 00:11:37 --> | choke (Colby Hoke) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:11:50 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL SIG Meeting | KojiAndBodhiForEpel | mmcgrath | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/KojiAndBodhiForEpel 00:12:00 < nirik> | sounds good to me. 00:12:01 < knurd> | no mmcgrath, no Jeff_S thus likely no news 00:12:08 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL SIG Meeting | broken dep reports go to the list | mmcgrath ? | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc 00:12:16 < knurd> | discussed already, thus skipping this 00:12:23 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL SIG Meeting | fill the steering committee | all | http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/Tasks/Misc 00:12:46 < knurd> | smooge, +1 for you becoming a steering committee member 00:13:08 < nirik> | +1 here. 00:13:19 < knurd> | but I think we need to have more +1 from at least 3 or four other steering committee members 00:13:24 --> | stahnma (Michael Stahnke) has joined #fedora-meeting 00:13:32 * | stahnma arrives 00:13:35 * | quaid is here too 00:13:38 < knurd> | thus I suppose we need to wait another week or two before it becomes official 00:13:40 < knurd> | ohh 00:13:45 < knurd> | okay, htere are two more 00:13:53 < knurd> | hi quaid, hi stahnma 00:14:06 < stahnma> | g'day 00:14:20 < knurd> | quaid, smooge, nirik and I just say "smooge, +1 for smooge becoming a steering committee member" 00:14:23 --- | choke is now known as c_hoke 00:14:23 * | smooge waits to see if he is cool enough to sit with at the big kids table 00:14:26 < quaid> | smooge for steering committee? +1 00:14:26 < stahnma> | +1 00:14:35 < knurd> | k, it's official now 00:14:39 * | quaid is a little kid in a booster chair 00:14:43 < knurd> | welcome to the stering committee smooge 00:14:44 < stahnma> | welcome to the big kids table 00:15:00 < knurd> | k, that makes seven again 00:15:06 < knurd> | I mentioned it on the list already 00:15:15 < knurd> | someone else wants to leave sooner or later 00:15:20 * | knurd is that someone else 00:15:38 < knurd> | I can stay around and help, but I'd like to get a more free time for RPM Fusion 00:15:49 < knurd> | and some fresh ideas for EPEL would help as well 00:15:59 --- | stickster_afk is now known as stickster 00:16:13 < knurd> | thus I'd suggest we elect a new chairmen over the next two weeks/in the next meeting 00:16:18 --- | c_hoke is now known as c_hoke_ 00:16:23 < quaid> | I wonder if any of the RHTers who deal with RHX would be interested 00:16:31 < knurd> | any volunteers for that job? 00:16:46 < knurd> | quaid, I haven't seen much from them yet 00:16:56 * | mmcgrath is here now, sorry 00:16:58 * | quaid cannot do it but thinks any of the current and new member dude would be good 00:16:58 --- | c_hoke_ is now known as c_hoke 00:16:59 < knurd> | there was only the zenoss discussions, but that just faded out 00:17:00 * | stahnma doesn't know if he has the time available.... 00:17:13 < quaid> | knurd: that is part of the idea, maybe if they were more involved as leaders ... 00:17:15 < knurd> | nirik do you want to do it? 00:17:26 < quaid> | pile on nirik! 00:17:38 < knurd> | quaid, as I mentioned on the list: we can make the steering committee even bigger if we want to 00:17:44 < knurd> | and if it's good for EPEL 00:17:48 < nirik> | ha.

00:27:35 < smooge> | ok how are we doing for packages etc? 00:27:46 < smooge> | how many are still in waiting to be branched etc? and wish list? 00:27:53 --- | jwb is now known as jwb_gone 00:28:12 < stahnma> | smooge: that sounds like good metrics to have 00:28:18 < knurd> | smooge, we have 1000 srpms now in epel5 + epel5 testing and come close to 2000 rpms 00:28:39 < smooge> | is that src.rpms or combined x.rpms and src.rpms? 00:28:44 < knurd> | waiting to be branched -> there are about 5500 package in fedora rawhide iirc 00:28:59 < knurd> | about 1600 srpms in rhel5 00:29:03 < smooge> | hmmm I counted 4500 src.rpms in fedora rawhide earlier this week 00:29:15 * | nirik should poke ixs and silug again... there are some perl packages I need before I can branch munin... 00:29:32 < knurd> | smooge, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/PackageStatus says: 00:29:33 < knurd> | - 5634 packages 00:29:34 < knurd> | - 9260 binary rpms in devel 00:29:52 < knurd> | but I'm not sure how that's counted 00:30:11 < knurd> | my hope for the long term future for EPEL was: continue as we do 00:30:14 < nirik> | I see 5299 src.rpms in devel right now 00:30:31 < knurd> | and when RHEL6 ships poke Fedora maintainers and build lots of stuff for EPEL 00:30:47 < smooge> | ah I was looking at 8/Everthings/SRPMS directory 00:31:10 < knurd> | smooge, then you missed new pacakges that entered Fedora since F8 was shipped 00:31:19 < knurd> | as those are in the updates repo only 00:31:26 < smooge> | yeah.. 5299 is what I see too. 00:32:40 < smooge> | Ok one thing I would like to look at doing is getting a discussion going on when we move packages from testing to stable. I would like to work on a regular schedule for it so that 'customers' would know that Black Tuesday was coming up or something 00:32:40 < knurd> | some of them make not much sense for EPEL 00:32:46 < knurd> | hunspell-dicts for example 00:33:21 < knurd> | smooge, the dates are: mid months around the 15th for EPEL4 and early each months around the 1st for EPEL5 00:33:29 < smooge> | duh 00:33:35 < smooge> | I am way behind on stuff 00:33:50 < knurd> | tha's quite new; we settled on that one or two meetings ago 00:33:51 < smooge> | ok need to go over the wiki to catch up with stuff. 00:34:15 < knurd> | smooge, np, keeping track of everything in Fedora-land is hard 00:35:02 < knurd> | anything else? 00:35:12 < smooge> | no thats about it. 00:35:32 <-- | kital has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) 00:35:37 * | knurd will close the meeting in 30 00:35:43 < smooge> | I think I will go over the EPEL pages and see what needs to be updated 00:35:46 < smooge> | Oh one second 00:35:49 < smooge> | mirrors 00:36:17 * | knurd waits 00:36:24 < smooge> | I think once we are pushing things regularly and getting more packages.. it would be a good idea to start recruuitiong more mirrors 00:36:34 < smooge> | s/once/now/ 00:36:53 < nirik> | sure, always good... how many do we have now? 00:36:54 < smooge> | how does this usually happen (and am I going over something that is already said?) 00:36:56 * | nirik goes to look. 00:37:00 < knurd> | http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/EPEL/ 00:37:15 < knurd> | there are a few, but more can't hurt 00:37:24 < knurd> | I'm not on the mirror-list 00:37:29 < knurd> | anyone else? 00:38:10 < knurd> | asking on that closed list might be the best start for more mirrors 00:38:19 < smooge> | I think I have a couple of things at the back of my mind. I will try to get them out for the next meeting 00:39:12 < knurd> | smooge, thx; in case of questions with the mirror stuff contact mdomsch; he maintains the stuff on http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org and he should be on the mirror-admins-list 00:39:17 < smooge> | Hmm I need to get john branched. Will go finish up my fedora project activation stuff and work on that 00:39:54 < smooge> | knurd, actually I am also on the list :).
