19:04:47 * anshprat still with askbot 0.7.49 upgrade on staging , looks like will again be going back to upstream with more issues..
19:05:00 <nirik> ok. thats what stg is for. ;)

19:05:24 * frankieonuonga is here
19:05:26 <nirik> #info askbot update in staging moving along, exposing some more issues for upstream
19:05:32 <nirik> any other applications news?
19:05:44 <puiterwijk> #info work started on postaja, a Fedora Hosted self-service app
19:06:13 <puiterwijk> if anyone wants to help, feel free to ping me
19:06:17 <anshprat> nirik: coming week is kinda tied up for me, so will mostly get back on it more after 10/23..
19:06:59 <anshprat> puiterwijk: amy read up material? what is it etc?
19:07:35 <mirek> I still have problems with seting up new copr on copr-dev (a lot of small issues). Once finished I will reinstall copr.cloud
19:07:36 <anshprat> s/ 10/23 / 10/26
19:08:02 <puiterwijk> anshprat: haven't written/published docs yet, will be in the push of tonight. It's mainly going to be for creating new fhosted projects, repos, and maintaining them
19:08:40 <nirik> anshprat: ok.
19:08:52 <bitlord> anything a n00b can help/test, I'm interested :D
19:09:04 <anshprat> puiterwijk: sure, will get back to you once I get free time.
19:09:07 <puiterwijk> bitlord: sure, ping me after the meeting on #fedora-apps
19:09:25 <puiterwijk> anshprat: cool
19:09:57 <puiterwijk> also, as part of this project, I would like to discuss adding fossil SCM to fhosted
19:10:19 <bitlord> puiterwijk, OK ;-)
19:10:51 <nirik> puiterwijk: is it packaged yet?
19:10:58 <puiterwijk> .whoowns fossil
19:10:59 <zodbot> puiterwijk: puiterwijk
19:11:01 <puiterwijk> nirik: ^ :)
19:11:29 <nirik> ok. are you thinking this as a possible replacement for our trac/etc?
19:11:40 <puiterwijk> so a short summary: Fossil is a distributed SCM not unlike git, but with built-in, distributed ticket management and wiki
19:11:48 <nirik> it looks interesting
19:12:08 <puiterwijk> nirik: well, it is its own SCM, so it won't work as a front-end for git etc, but we could make it get a lot more traction
19:12:23 <puiterwijk> (while there's github for git, etc, there's not many trustworthy hosts for fossil)
19:12:57 <puiterwijk> there's some bigger projects using it so far, the most famous one being sqlite
19:13:25 <nirik> ok, perhaps we could toss up a cloud one for people to play with?
19:13:51 <puiterwijk> I am planning to do that together with postaja, so they can also test the self-service
19:14:02 <nirik> ok
19:15:01 <nirik> cool
19:15:14 <nirik> #info looking into fossil scm

19:29:07 <puiterwijk> nirik: that's what happens if there's so few people from the core team in a freeze week :)

19:29:22 <nirik> thanks for coming everyone!

18:00:01 <zodbot> The meeting name has been set to 'irc-support-sig'
18:00:29 <nirik> anyone around for a irc support sig meeting?
18:00:41 * thomasj is here
18:02:32 <thomasj> not much folks around
18:02:58 <nirik> yeah, seems not.
18:03:19 * EvilBob
18:04:07 * nirik will wait a few more for folks
18:06:13 <nirik> ok, I guess we can go forward and if not enough input on tickets punt them a week. ;)
18:06:24 <nirik> #topic Week in review
18:06:35 <nirik> any items from the previous week? new common bugs, etc?
18:06:42 <nirik> it's been pretty quiet this week, IMHO
18:06:58 <EvilBob> fedbot status?
18:07:29 <nirik> working on it. not sure whats going on. ;(
18:07:32 <EvilBob> K
18:07:39 <thomasj> i was reading up on fedora.next all week, didn't pay much attention to the channel
18:07:52 <nirik> it's getting timeouts connecting. odd.
18:09:12 <nirik> ok, moving on to tickets then... or should we punt them to next week with more people around?
18:09:45 <EvilBob> There is a kudos ticket we can clear
18:09:58 <nirik> sure.
18:10:03 <nirik> #topic ticket #161 Kudos
18:10:23 <EvilBob> The ticket about "Someone told me not to file a bug" should be just sh!t canned
18:10:23 <nirik> https://fedorahosted.org/irc-support-sig/ticket/161
18:10:41 <nirik> good work to swa_work there. ;)
18:12:06 <nirik> #topic ticket #162 Fedora supporter(?) decides I shall not file a Bug
18:12:18 <nirik> https://fedorahosted.org/irc-support-sig/ticket/162
18:12:25 <nirik> so, two things on this one...
18:12:32 * thomasj reading
18:12:51 <nirik> 1. I don't understand how they think someone saying something on irc has any effect on if they can file a bug or not.
18:13:13 <nirik> 2. I think fenris02 needs to learn to disengage better from people who he doesn't wish to continue helping.
18:13:30 <thomasj> +1
18:13:47 * nirik guesses fenris02 isn't around right now.
18:14:05 <EvilBob> It's meeting time, why would he be?
18:14:10 <EvilBob> ;)
18:14:15 <EvilBob> </sarcasm>
18:14:33 * Southern_Gentlem
18:15:08 <nirik> pesky work getting in the way of irc. ;)
18:15:17 <EvilBob> I asked the user for clarification of what this ticket is actually about, and I still don't know.
18:15:24 <nirik> anyhow, I am happy noting the above on the ticket and closing it... or we could keep it open for more input.
18:16:42 <thomasj> it appears it's about the supporter being arrogant.
18:16:47 <nirik> I guess they felt they were being told what to do...
18:17:07 <nirik> but as the join message for the channel indicates, everyones opinions are their own, etc
18:17:30 <thomasj> that's true, even i doubt anyone reading the message :)
18:18:03 <nirik> sadly reading and comprehending is a lost art.
18:18:20 <thomasj> yeah
18:19:38 <nirik> anyhow, shall we note and close? or keep open?
18:19:51 <Southern_Gentlem> close
18:19:54 <thomasj> hmm..
18:20:22 <EvilBob> I say close
18:20:46 <thomasj> this isn't the first ticket about someone being arrogant.. maybe we can tell the reporter that this will be adressed somehow.
18:21:11 <thomasj> if it will be talked about it
18:21:29 <nirik> well, I'd like to ask fenris02 about being better about disengaging with people before they get mad...
18:21:31 <EvilBob> Sure, go ahead thomasj
18:21:35 <nirik> not sure if that counts?
18:22:00 <thomasj> i think that would count, sure
18:22:33 <Southern_Gentlem> +1 close with that comment
18:22:46 <EvilBob> Back in the day... the person would have been just kicked and then the helper would not have to worry about disengaging
18:23:19 <Southern_Gentlem> nirik, but from the logs i think the person would get mad either way
18:23:39 <nirik> yeah, there's a history I fear...
18:23:43 <EvilBob> Now with the "kinder more gentle #fedora" we have to let them hang around blathering on and on for hours inflaming the channel and making harder on the helpers
18:24:12 <EvilBob> making *it* harder
18:24:39 <thomasj> i thought we have tools like silent if they're disrupting the channel
18:24:53 <EvilBob> They don't like the answer or suggestion given so they hang on and on
18:25:01 <thomasj> kicking them is also possible
18:25:27 <thomasj> i think this is more about that people want to feel that they get understood
18:25:46 <thomasj> sometimes i have to ask dumb questions because i cant explain it any better
18:26:05 <thomasj> having them someone being arrogant will make me feel even more dumb
18:26:08 <thomasj> then*
18:26:33 <thomasj> speaking of myself here, so i guess that might count for others in #fedora either
18:26:37 <nirik> sure, but some people are so quick to take offense that it's really hard.
18:26:52 <EvilBob> So... your opinion is that if you ask a dumb question and then act dumb and feel dumb it's someone else's fault?
18:26:55 <thomasj> that's the nature of humans, yes, we're all different :)
18:27:11 <Southern_Gentlem> I am sorry this one is just close, he asked if he should file a bug and was told no everything is working as it is suppose to which is the truth
18:27:14 <nirik> anyhow, should we move on to the last ticket? or save it?
18:27:17 <thomasj> acting dumb wasn't part of what i said
18:27:27 <Southern_Gentlem> move on
18:27:40 <thomasj> i was just trying to show the other side
18:27:43 <thomasj> yes, move on
18:27:53 <EvilBob> thomasj: I was just trying to cover as many of the variables of dumb I could
18:28:02 <thomasj> ok
18:28:20 <nirik> #topic ticket #163 Offensive behavior - fenris02
18:28:24 <Southern_Gentlem> bob leave cocohead out of this
18:28:31 <nirik> https://fedorahosted.org/irc-support-sig/ticket/163
18:28:53 * EvilBob has not looked at this ticket...
18:29:19 <nirik> so, I think this is just similar...
18:29:46 <nirik> disengaging politely would hopefully avoid them getting mad... but of course people are quick to take offense.
18:31:09 <nirik> so, I would say the same thing... let them know we are going to try and talk with fenris02 about that, etc.
18:31:19 <thomasj> this ticket is the perfect example of being arrogant, i knew that one already
18:31:36 <thomasj> and i do like fenris
18:31:43 <nirik> is there some way we could quantify 'arrogant' and how not to be it?
18:31:48 <EvilBob> "people are quick to take offense" because we give them the power to be offended and in turn offensive on their own
18:31:54 <nirik> it's kinda subjective
18:32:05 <Southern_Gentlem> nirik, and of course fenris should file a counter ticket for the user being offensive because he would not answer the quesitons
18:32:13 <Southern_Gentlem> close this
18:32:53 <EvilBob> Southern_Gentlem: +1
18:33:06 <thomasj> it is kinda subjective, true
18:33:17 <Southern_Gentlem> the only thing here is that the channel still supports f18
18:33:52 <nirik> yeah, f18 should still get support from anyone wishing to help do so
18:34:02 <Southern_Gentlem> and fenris was wanting a valid reason why the user was trying f18 and the user got upset because he found out his assuptions were wrong
18:34:37 <Southern_Gentlem> close this witch hunt
18:34:44 <EvilBob> Southern_Gentlem: +1
18:35:06 <thomasj> why does he have to give a valid reason, besides it's supported and his decision?
18:35:44 <nirik> he doesn't IMHO.
18:35:50 <thomasj> same IMHO
18:36:27 <Southern_Gentlem> and no one in the channel was willing to help the user is not ours or fenris issue
18:36:53 <nirik> sure, but if he backed away more politely/quicker, things would end better for everyone
18:37:21 <EvilBob> quicker?
18:37:32 <EvilBob> the whole exchange was less than 15 minutes
18:38:02 <EvilBob> He was just trying to find out details, part of basic troubleshooting
18:38:09 <thomasj> exchange nails it almost
18:38:35 <EvilBob> "Hey I see this in F18" "Have you seen if in F19, it might have been fixed?"
18:38:36 <nirik> well, at the point where they said they wanted 18...
18:38:49 <nirik> I don't want to assist with an f18 install, good luck
18:39:08 <Southern_Gentlem> hindsight is 20/20
18:39:39 <Southern_Gentlem> close it
18:39:53 <EvilBob> I probably would have run questions about the f18 choice much the same way, and so would you.
18:40:23 <nirik> well, it would be clear after a few lines that they didn't want to explain... so I would likely have shrugged at that point.
18:40:29 <nirik> but yeah, hard to say without being there. ;)
18:40:36 <Southern_Gentlem> the only thing i would have done different is pointed at the f19 updated lives and told them to try those
18:41:15 <fenris02> did exactly that.
18:41:22 <nirik> hey fenris02
18:41:24 <thomasj> i think the direction here is pretty clear: close it; not our problem; in the good old days he would've been kicked; witch hunt.. kinda sad
18:41:27 <EvilBob> 20:40 < fenris02> any reason you decided not to use f19 or the updated media found in the /topic here? you do realize f18 goes end of life shortly right?
18:41:46 <thomasj> if someone would tell me, i'm doing something wrong, i would try to learn from it
18:42:00 <Southern_Gentlem> so we are back to close it
18:42:21 <EvilBob> Southern_Gentlem: +1
18:42:23 <fenris02> well, +b/+q for legit questions is a rather slippery slope. better to just stop and let someone else help
18:42:24 <nirik> sure.
18:42:32 <thomasj> doing something wrong/the wrong way
18:42:48 <fenris02> f18-updated would have worked too, and left the user with f18
18:43:01 * nirik nods.
18:43:10 <Southern_Gentlem> fenris02, there are no f18 updated one available
18:43:10 <nirik> #topic Open Floor
18:43:27 <nirik> any items for open floor? questions, comments, ideas, bacon?
18:43:41 <fenris02> Southern_Gentlem, my bad then, i thought the most recent f18-update was still posted.
18:43:58 <Southern_Gentlem> bacon and if you are a ham support JOTA this weekend
18:44:38 <nirik> does someone want to deal with the tickets? or should I at some point?
18:45:00 <Southern_Gentlem> bob close please
18:45:00 <thomasj> not me
18:45:46 <nirik> I can, it's not a big deal.
18:46:16 * nirik will close meeting in a min if nothing else.
18:47:11 <thomasj> thx for hosting
18:48:18 <nirik> thanks for coming everyon

FPC Meeting Log 2013-10-17
by Toshio Kuratomi
[09:09:17] <Rathann> abadger1999: FPC meeting? or was there a time change that I missed?
[09:09:45] <abadger1999> Rathann: yeah sorry, my calendar reminder didn't go off.
[09:09:51] <abadger1999> #topic FPC Meeting
[09:09:56] <abadger1999> #topic Roll call
[09:09:59] <abadger1999> Who's here today?
[09:10:08] <tibbs|w> I'm around.
[09:10:08] <abadger1999> I know spot and geppetto are out.
[09:10:12] <tibbs|w> Much more awake than last week.
[09:10:16] <abadger1999> Cool.
[09:10:24] * jsmith lurks
[09:10:41] <abadger1999> #chair Rathann tibbs|w limburgher SmootherFrOgZ
[09:11:07] <abadger1999> limburgher, SmootherFrOgZ, RemiFedora: you guys around for FPC meeting?
[09:11:12] <abadger1999> #chair RemiFedora
[09:11:37] * RemiFedora here
[09:11:47] <abadger1999> Almost to quorum.
[09:13:27] <abadger1999> while we wait -- yesterday geppetto, dgilmore, mmaslano, bkarbrda, langdon, and I talked on the phone about scls. I think that the SCL people are sufficiently flexible that we can work something out although it might be a compromise all around.
[09:13:38] * limburgher here
[09:13:47] --> LoKoMurdoK has joined this channel (~soporte@fedora/LoKoMurdoK).
[09:13:50] <abadger1999> geppetto is away today so we figured we'd defer the next SCL discussion until next week.
[09:13:55] <abadger1999> Cool, that's quorum.
[09:14:10] <limburgher> abadger1999: Heart. . .not broken.
[09:14:20] <abadger1999> #topic https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/336 Please clarify the General Naming Guidelines for packages
[09:14:29] <abadger1999> mschwendt asked us to prioritise this.
[09:15:08] <tibbs|w> I think I'm on record as always preferring lower case.
[09:16:22] <tibbs|w> I certainly wouldn't ever want to require CraZyCasE just because upstream is a bunch of 13-year-olds.
[09:16:23] * abadger1999 prefers lower case and dash as well
[09:16:33] <abadger1999> yeah.
[09:16:35] <limburgher> I personally prefer lowercase.
[09:16:35] <RemiFedora> +1
[09:17:21] <abadger1999> what would we like to have happen here?
[09:17:43] <abadger1999> We could say "always use lowercase"
[09:17:50] <tibbs|w> At minimum let's explicitly allow that.
[09:17:53] <abadger1999> or we could give maintainers a little wiggle room
[09:17:57] <limburgher> With or without a grandfather clause?
[09:18:06] <abadger1999> with grandfather
[09:18:10] <tibbs|w> We pretty much always grandfather everything.
[09:18:35] <limburgher> Say " Always either use lowercase or follow upstream, with preference in that order?"
[09:18:48] <limburgher> Or is that too wiggly?
[09:18:55] <jsmith> limburgher: I like that :-)
[09:19:12] <tibbs|w> Certainly we don't want anyone adding uppercase when upstream doesn't.
[09:19:27] <limburgher> tibbs|w: Oh heck no.
[09:21:36] <tibbs|w> So, for case, I'm +1 to limb's proposal.
[09:21:38] <abadger1999> "use lowercase and turn underscores and into dashes unless there's compelling reasons to follow a different upstream convention.
[09:22:08] <RemiFedora> +1 for "turn underscores and into dashes"
[09:22:18] <RemiFedora> (especially when both are used in a package name)
[09:22:21] <tibbs|w> I'm +1 to that as well
[09:22:42] <tibbs|w> Basically I'm automatically +1 to anything that gets us closer to using all lower case and dashes.
[09:22:55] <abadger1999> evas-generic-loaders needs to have the dash piece clarified
[09:22:59] <abadger1999> <nod>
[09:23:35] <Rathann> +1 to abadger1999's proposal, but what would be a compelling reason?
[09:23:42] --> Martix has joined this channel (~martix(a)eduroam-147.fi.muni.cz).
[09:23:50] <Rathann> already existing package in another distribution
[09:24:12] <Rathann> explicit upstream recommendation
[09:24:14] <tibbs|w> We usually trust the review process for that kind of thing.
[09:24:42] <-- fuwei has left this server (Quit: Leaving.).
[09:26:09] <abadger1999> yeah, possibly. or the package is just for a program you'd run on the commandline and it is /usr/bin/Uppercase
[09:26:43] <abadger1999> we've said the mod_* for httpd is allowed so following that convention for future apache modules would seem compelling.
[09:26:57] <tibbs|w> Another option is to force lowercase but explicitly permit Provides: CraZyCasE
[09:27:21] <Rathann> ugh
[09:27:26] <Rathann> I'd rather avoid that
[09:27:29] <limburgher> tibbs|w: I'm not in love with that. What does that do to yum search space?
[09:27:53] <tibbs|w> No clue, honestly.
[09:28:01] <tibbs|w> I think there are a couple of packages which do that already.
[09:28:54] <abadger1999> "Alwways use lowercase and dashes in package names [with the following, grandfathered exceptions for dashes LINK]. if a well known name with uppercase or underscores exists for the package you can use a virtual Provides for that."
[09:29:59] <RemiFedora> tibbs|w, yes, ex phpMyAdmin provides phpmyadmin
[09:30:21] <Rathann> or if upstream name contains _ it becomes -
[09:30:23] <-- paragan has left this server (Remote host closed the connection).
[09:30:33] <abadger1999> I think people can and will use virtual provifdes regardless... the quesetion to me is whether we're comfortable with disallowing uppercase and underscores...
[09:30:43] <Rathann> I'm not
[09:30:47] <tibbs|w> I am.
[09:30:57] <RemiFedora> discourage seems anough
[09:30:57] <abadger1999> pointing out you can use virtual provides would just be to head off a frequent question.
[09:31:02] <tibbs|w> But anything that gets us closer is fine with me.
[09:31:05] <limburgher> RemiFedora: +1
[09:31:09] * abadger1999 with tibbs|w
[09:31:49] <abadger1999> So it sounds like to pass something today we want to go the discourage route.
[09:32:16] <abadger1999> Rathann or limburgher: Do you have some better wording than "compelling reason"?
[09:32:52] * SmootherFrOgZ is half-here
[09:33:04] <Rathann> hm
[09:33:22] <-- Martix has left this server (Ping timeout: 268 seconds).
[09:33:37] <abadger1999> If not, I think we just vote to move the chains and clarify what those reasons could be if people still argue about it.
[09:34:13] <abadger1999> "move the chains" == get us closer to our goal (sorry, american idiom)
[09:34:16] <Rathann> "unless upstream project name doesn't follow the convention and there software is packaged in at least one distribution under that name"?
[09:34:29] <Rathann> s/there/the/
[09:34:44] <abadger1999> I'd still rather we used lowercase and dashes in many/some of those cases.
[09:35:41] <Rathann> it's a fight between KISS and least surprise principle ;)
[09:35:47] <abadger1999> <nod>
[09:36:05] <abadger1999> and kiss is least surprise to a different audience too :-)
[09:36:38] <abadger1999> ie: if I come from debian I may expet the name to match the debian name... but if I come from just Fedora I probably expect it to match other Fedora packages.
[09:36:56] <Rathann> *sigh* all right, I'll go with mandating lowercase and s/_/-/g just because I can't think of better reasons
[09:37:14] <Rathann> this is a big change for us though
[09:37:22] <abadger1999> Proposal: "use lowercase and turn underscores and into dashes unless there's compelling reasons to follow a different upstream convention."
[09:37:26] <abadger1999> +1
[09:37:42] <Rathann> that gets my +1
[09:37:46] <tibbs|w> +1
[09:38:09] <RemiFedora> +1
[09:38:12] * SmootherFrOgZ is also +1 here
[09:38:32] <Rathann> just fix the grammar before committing
[09:38:35] <abadger1999> limburgher: if you want to vote for the record. we're +5 otherwise.
[09:38:37] <abadger1999> <nod>

[09:39:44] <abadger1999> <nod>
[09:39:48] <abadger1999> singularizes
[09:40:19] <abadger1999> "Use lowercase and turn underscores into dashes unless there's a compelling reason to follow a different upstream convention."
[09:40:48] <abadger1999> #info "Use lowercase and turn underscores into dashes unless there's a compelling reason to follow a different upstream convention." (+1:5, 0:0, -1:0)
[09:43:12] <abadger1999> #topic #352 BLAS and LAPACK packaging https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/352
[09:44:01] <limburgher> Sorry, AFK, +1 for 336.
[09:45:02] <Rathann> not sure what bundling exception is fkluknav talking about
[09:45:05] <-- LoKoMurdoK has left this server (Ping timeout: 268 seconds).
[09:45:35] <Rathann> but haven't we mandated recently that ABI-compatible alternative implementations must be runtime interchangeable?
[09:46:01] <Rathann> well, unless upstream makes it impossible
[09:48:51] <RemiFedora> iiuc, openblas is a fork, which have change ABI, but not soname ? Ask upstream to change soname.
[09:50:09] <Rathann> it's a fork of gotoblas
[09:51:02] <abadger1999> Sounds more like the two projects are changing soname but not abi.
[09:52:17] <Rathann> no, actually they don't provide the standard libblas and liblapack
[09:52:42] <Rathann> while providing the blas and lapack symbols inside their libs
[09:53:02] <Rathann> atlas used to provide libblas and liblapack but doesn't anymore
[09:53:06] <limburgher> And the rational basis for this is. . .?
[09:53:16] * Rathann shrugs
[09:53:33] <Rathann> Susi Lehtola says it should be a compile-time decision
[09:53:33] <limburgher> Yeah.
[09:53:45] <Rathann> which blas/lapack implementation to use
[09:54:21] <Rathann> the issue is when one package uses one implementation and another, dependent one uses another implementation
[09:54:34] <Rathann> like the mess we had (still have?) with ssl libraries
[09:54:36] --> LoKoMurdoK has joined this channel (~soporte@fedora/LoKoMurdoK).
[09:55:26] <Rathann> but the Susi is not upstream although she does maintain a number of scientific packages
[09:55:45] <Rathann> and is my sponsoree
[09:55:58] <Rathann> *Sussi
[09:56:03] <Rathann> sorry for misspelling
[09:56:36] --> KageSenshi has joined this channel (~kagesensh@fedora/KageSenshi).
[09:58:15] <abadger1999> Hmmm... sussi mentions copying the MPI guidelines. Would that work here?
[09:58:58] <Rathann> it would, but then we'd have builds of each liblapack/libblas consumer
[09:59:04] <Rathann> three builds
[10:00:24] <abadger1999> <nod> But on one hand, that seems to be what upstream for these libraries is promoting.
[10:00:39] <abadger1999> since they're no longer providing separate liblapack/libblas
[10:07:25] <Rathann> both Kevin's and Sussi's arguments have merits
[10:08:30] <abadger1999> yeah.
[10:09:04] <abadger1999> Perhaps we should defer this to when spot is around since he kicked the mpi guidelines into their present shape
[10:09:27] <limburgher> abadger1999: That's not a bad idea.
[10:09:56] * Rathann looks at packages which depend on libblas, liblapack and libatlas in F19
[10:10:24] <abadger1999> #topic https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/353 Update autodep filter guidelines to mention changes to rpm in F20+
[10:11:14] <abadger1999> Looks like RemiFedora found the guidelines that have filters and tested that the new way works.
[10:12:13] <RemiFedora> I think the descript in the ticket description is fine to be added in the Guidelines for explanation
[10:12:35] <abadger1999> <nod>
[10:12:44] <RemiFedora> and then we can open a bug against perl and ruby to have them to simplify their macros
[10:13:22] <abadger1999> Let's vote to update the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering#Private_Libraries guidelines with that description and open bugs against the packages providing the macros
[10:13:24] <abadger1999> +1
[10:13:55] <RemiFedora> +1
[10:14:15] <Rathann> +1
[10:15:39] <abadger1999> limburgher, tibbs|w, SmootherFrOgZif you're still around?
[10:16:03] <tibbs|w> +1
[10:16:05] <tibbs|w> Sorry, work.
[10:16:18] <abadger1999> no problem... we're running late too
[10:16:43] <abadger1999> okay, we're at +4 . I'll record in the ticket and we can try to get the remaining vote there.
[10:17:01] <abadger1999> Let's try to get one more:
[10:17:12] <RemiFedora> 354 ?
[10:17:13] <abadger1999> #topic https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/354 PHP Guildelines small addition
[10:17:17] <RemiFedora> :)
[10:18:11] <abadger1999> This looks okay to me.
[10:18:13] <Rathann> looks reasonable
[10:18:15] <abadger1999> +1
[10:18:55] <Rathann> +1
[10:19:00] <RemiFedora> +1
[10:19:28] <limburgher> +1 for this one.
[10:19:38] <tibbs|w> +1 in theory; I'm guessing the pecl section of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:PHP#Requires_and_Provides would just change to match what the pear bits do.
[10:19:45] <limburgher> +1 to previous as well, I'll comment in ticket.
[10:19:52] <limburgher> Sorry i keep getting called away.
[10:20:14] <RemiFedora> tibbs|w, yes, exactly
[10:20:24] <abadger1999> Cool.
[10:20:41] <abadger1999> So that's +5 to 354 and to 353.
[10:20:50] <abadger1999> #topic Open Floor
[10:20:51] <RemiFedora> so I think we have +5 for 353 and 354
[10:20:59] * RemiFedora is too slow
[10:21:06] <abadger1999> anyone want to bring something up? If not I'll close out for today.
[10:21:37] <Rathann> I saw #355 in the agenda
[10:21:47] <abadger1999> Rathann: yeah -- but we're over time.
[10:21:51] <RemiFedora> I'd like to find a way to avoid "fast" review....
[10:21:54] <abadger1999> Official this is jut a one hour meeting.
[10:22:05] <Rathann> right
[10:22:10] <Rathann> nothing from me then
[10:22:17] <RemiFedora> like review submitted / reviewed and approved in a few minutes....
[10:22:19] <limburgher> Same here.
[10:22:23] <abadger1999> oh one thing.
[10:22:43] <tibbs|w> I don't see any way around fast reviews at this point.
[10:22:52] <tibbs|w> Submit, someone runs fedora-review, says OK, done.
[10:23:32] --> inode0 has joined this channel (~inode0@fedora/inode0).
[10:23:36] <abadger1999> FYI: This week, with the ideas about some body needing to approve scls, I thought that maybe we should create a new group composed like the FPC that approves SCLs and maybe bundled libraries as well.
[10:24:25] <RemiFedora> +1 for having a group working / approving SCL. We need a filter to avoid to much uneeded SCL
[10:24:37] <abadger1999> neither one is really how to package which is what we concentrate on but both need to have consistency, attention to precedent, and someone to write up the decisions in a more general form which makes unsuitable for fesco.
[10:24:40] <tibbs|w> I don't know if it should just e FPC that does that, though.
[10:24:58] <abadger1999> tibbs|w: yeah, geppetto was of the same opinion.
[10:25:01] * Rathann needs to review old logs to find out why he was convinced that we should go forward with the idea of SCLs
[10:25:28] <tibbs|w> The problem is that group would have to work really closely with FPC to avoid a disconnect between the guidelines for bundling/SCLs and what actually gets approved.
[10:25:40] <abadger1999> but spot pointed out to me once that the majority of FPC's open tickets are usually bundled libraries.
[10:25:46] <abadger1999> I think this would add to the same pile.
[10:26:04] <abadger1999> tibbs|w: I would turn over that particular criteria to them as well.
[10:26:59] <abadger1999> that criteria's question is: "when can you bundle/create an SCL". whereas we try to stick to "how do you package something that bundles/an SCL".
[10:28:15] <abadger1999> But yeah -- we should discuss whether we as a group want to push that stuff off to another group or if we want to keep it to ourselves.
[10:28:43] <abadger1999> I'll open a ticket so we can discuss it in the main part of the meeting instead of when we're all anxious to get back to other things.
[10:30:05] <abadger1999> Okay, thanks for coming everyone!
