I don't know for the number. 20:55:35 <DavidWHodgins> Checking https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Org I don't think Lewis does quailify for the Board, as he is not on the council 20:55:40 <ennael> anything else about GA ? it would be great if all teams can prepare a short review of what happened in the past year 20:55:58 <DavidWHodgins> Qa team held up Mageia 6. :-) 20:56:11 <wilcal> Yup 21:03:57 <wilcal> Are we still here? 21:04:21 <DavidWHodgins> I'm still here 21:04:35 <marja> yeah 21:04:36 <ennael> ok then 21:04:44 <stormi> yes 21:04:52 <ennael> anything else on GA ? 21:05:00 <DavidWHodgins> Not here 21:05:13 <marja> not here 21:05:24 <ennael> #topic Mageia 6 sta2 21:05:33 <wilcal> Ah yes 21:05:38 <ennael> our favorite looping topic :) 21:05:47 <papoteur> l'Arlésienne 21:06:17 <ennael> in fact not that. A last remaining bug to be all fixed 21:06:20 <DavidWHodgins> Qa is currently pre-testing the fixes for the partitioning bug, before releasing it to wider qa testing 21:06:26 <DavidWHodgins> On live iso images only 21:06:44 <wilcal> FWIW today I started with a blank drive and using Mageia-Cauldron-netinstall-x86_64.iso I executed a successful ( nvidia ) install 21:07:02 <wilcal> repo was updated minutes before i executed the install 21:07:37 <wilcal> this is in the last 4-hours or so 21:07:48 <wilcal> so basically we have a good system that installs 21:07:51 <DavidWHodgins> Good. Still need more testing to confirm partitioning bug fixed, and also need the classical iso images updated with the fix too 21:08:15 <wilcal> still some ( bad ) wrinkles but it installs and runs 21:08:47 <papoteur> very good news 21:09:17 <DavidWHodgins> Good enough for sta2, if the partitioning bug fixed. May need live iso images rebuilt with latest packages for video drivers, etc. 21:09:24 <wilcal> VLC is sigfaulting again ( ARGGHHHHHH ) but the system is usable overall 21:09:39 <ennael> VLS is not release blocker :) 21:09:42 <wilcal> I am not injecting myself into the partitioning thing 21:10:01 <wilcal> not for sta2 for sure 21:10:14 <wilcal> we gotta get this thing out there 21:10:19 <DavidWHodgins> I'll be experimenting with the partitioning on a dedicated drive later today 21:11:26 <wilcal> Martin is doing a herculean job 21:11:54 <DavidWHodgins> So hopefully we'll be able to give a go-ahead for the sta2 live iso images in Thursday's qa meeting 21:12:35 <wilcal> As long as I start from a blank drive I've never encountered the partitioning bug 21:12:51 <marja> DavidWHodgins: thx for going to test partitioning, too 21:13:02 <DavidWHodgins> I'll review the bug report, and try to recreate the situation, best I can 21:13:37 <marja> You do get the mails from the pre-iso testers, too, don't you? 21:13:46 <DavidWHodgins> Yes 21:13:49 <marja> good 21:13:52 <ennael> as stated on isobuild ML I will try to generate a stage2 including Martin patches 21:13:58 <DavidWHodgins> I do have the pre testing iso images synced 21:13:58 <ennael> so that we can test on CI 21:14:19 <marja> ennael: thanks 21:14:31 <wilcal> latest pretest images look good here installed to Vbox clients 21:14:32 <DavidWHodgins> Do the patches apply only to the installer, or diskdrake in general? 21:15:15 <marja> DavidWHodgins: the last patch (for XFCE) does _not_ apply to diskdrake outside installer, iinm 21:15:21 <marja> DavidWHodgins: not yet 21:15:28 <papoteur> DavidWHodgins: Martin said that patches have to be ported to diskdrake. 21:15:42 <ennael> yep 21:15:54 <DavidWHodgins> Ouch. That may hold things up for a few more days 21:16:40 <DavidWHodgins> I consider any partitioning bug to be the most critical possible 21:17:23 <marja> +1 21:18:42 <DavidWHodgins> So in summary, sta2 is still on hold pending confirmation all partitioning bugs have been fixed 21:18:49 <ennael> yep 21:19:09 <DavidWHodgins> Nothing else on sta2 here 21:19:17 <wilcal> same for me 21:19:20 <ennael> ok 21:19:25 <ennael> any other topic? 21:19:30 <DavidWHodgins> Elections 21:19:35 <wilcal> thks for being here David 21:19:37 <papoteur> Valstar 21:19:40 <DavidWHodgins> :-) 21:20:08 <ennael> #topic team elections 21:20:38 <DavidWHodgins> Qa team has started election process.
