Basically once this is fixed, we have no blockers for Mageia 6 anymore \o/ 19:25:11 <Son_Goku> yay 19:25:32 <tmb> it's already vga=791 on last isos ennael built 19:25:52 <Akien> wilcal: Can you confirm that from QA's point of view we're now blocker free? (I expect not bug-free, but if there are no blockers we need to let this release out :D) 19:25:53 <wilcal> Whew 19:26:37 <wilcal> Yes, QA reviewed all this last Tues and no one brought up anything that would prevent this set of isos being released 19:27:03 <wilcal> But, there are ongoing issues some of them may cause us some heartburn 19:27:16 <wilcal> Some with Plasma 19:27:34 <wilcal> I'd like to mention one here 19:28:02 <wilcal> Plasma shell occasionally fails to start on Live DVD 19:28:04 <wilcal> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21082 19:28:05 <wilcal> or my description 19:28:05 <[mbot`> [ 21082 Plasma shell occasionally fails to start on Live DVD ] 19:28:07 <wilcal> Random ksmserver errors reported 19:28:22 <ennael> label linux kernel x86_64/vmlinuz append initrd=x86_64/all.rdz automatic=method:cdrom vga=791 splash quiet noiswmd 19:28:29 <wilcal> this shows itself randomly and may freeze the plasma desktop 19:28:32 <ennael> this is what is used currently 19:28:39 <wilcal> We recommeded it be in the errata 19:28:58 <Akien> ennael: Yeah it looks like I misinterpreted Martin's last comment. The vga option looks good, but he mentioned "Yes, the bootloader on the classic ISOs hasn't been updated." 19:29:03 <wilcal> it does not prevent successful install 19:29:13 <Luigi12> I saw some ksmserver issues last year when I last tested Cauldron on real hardware. The issues don't present themselves in VirtualBox. 19:29:19 <Luigi12> guess it's still flaky? 19:29:27 <wilcal> It is very flaky 19:29:27 <Akien> ennael: though you released mageia-gfxboot-theme 4.5.14.7 before making the ISOs so I'm not sure what he means 19:29:42 <wilcal> if a reviewer gets a bad case of it things will not go well 19:30:15 <wilcal> I think Martin and I would ask folks to help with this on tracing it in the logs 19:30:22 <Luigi12> wilcal: would these problems be the same on other Plasma distros? 19:30:22 <Akien> I still get ksmserver crashes too every now and then (once a month or so), never had the time to debug them but that's definitely a bug of our plasma or qt5 version. 19:30:38 <ennael> Akien: gfxboot is only the graphical part of the screen, the vga config is proposed by isolinux.cfg 19:30:40 <wilcal> I have not had time to review this in other Plasma distros 19:30:48 <ennael> which is part of drakx-installer-images 19:30:49 <tmb> well, we had the same issue with gnome a release or so back where it crashed for some users... it's plasma time to be the "bad boy" this release :) 19:30:58 <Luigi12> we can investigate Qt 5.9.1 once mga6 is out, but I think the next Plasma LTS version is still a ways off 19:31:11 <wilcal> No problem getting out from under it 19:31:17 <filip> wilcal: Neon is a reference I guess 19:31:21 <wilcal> Ctrl-Alt-Backspace-Backspace 19:31:23 <Akien> ennael: Yeah I think there's a mix up i the bug report, the "new" issue now is that the F3 option can't change the default. But the default is 1024x768 as expected. 19:31:27 <wilcal> gets you out of it every time 19:31:39 <Akien> ennael: I guess it would be worth asking Martin what he means exactly (https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20624#c42 ) 19:31:41 <[mbot`> [ 20624 Hidden buttons in the Installer gui - UI elements and fonts are too big for screen resolution ] 19:31:46 <Luigi12> wilcal: sure 19:31:58 <Son_Goku> Luigi12, isn't the next one 5.10? 19:32:04 <wilcal> Just wanted to make sure everyone here is aware of it 19:32:08 <Akien> I agree with tmb, we just have to document that plasma has some imperfections, but we can release as is 19:32:12 <Luigi12> Son_Goku: I can't remember, I read about it recently 19:32:30 <Son_Goku> ah, Plasma 5.12 will be 19:32:32 <Akien> Ideally when we're rested we can investigate and patch the bug via an update 19:32:33 <wilcal> "imperfections" is stating it mildly 19:32:34 <Son_Goku> in January 2018 19:32:41 <Akien> :D 19:33:08 <Akien> Basically, I think that all "bad" issues that remain at this stage should get the FOR_ERRATA6 keyword 19:33:15 <filip> wilcal: there was also some discussion about possible dropping of some packages with unfixed security issues IIRC 19:33:17 <wilcal> Yup 19:33:36 <wilcal> Sounds like a plan filip 19:33:38 <Akien> Then we can add them to the errata so that people are aware of these issues 19:34:01 <Akien> That could be our next topic, the "other" blockers page 19:34:06 <Luigi12> Akien: yeah maybe we can make new Live ISOs in 6-9 months or so 19:34:22 <filip> Luigi12: mga7 19:34:23 <Akien> #topic Security bugs: packages to drop before mga6? 19:34:27 <Akien> #link https://madb.mageia.org/tools/security 19:34:30 <Luigi12> filip: mga7 doesn't help 19:34:32 * filip runs 19:34:35 <[mbot`> [ Mageia App Db - Security issues ] 19:34:59 <Akien> Can we do a quick review of the pending security issues and of the packages that could or should be dropped asap? 19:35:48 <Luigi12> please 19:36:06 <Luigi12> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18557 19:36:08 <[mbot`> [ 18557 tika new security issue CVE-2016-4434 ] 19:36:15 <Akien> From what I checked last week, I think we could maybe drop mp3splt, ytnef (and tika?) 19:36:29 <Luigi12> tika: no feedback from neoclust or david, I don't know why it hasn't been updated or if it can't be. Looks possibly droppable, but no feedback on that either. 19:37:04 <Akien> AFAIK neoclust tried to update tika but it did not build. Not sure he investigated further 19:37:16 <Luigi12> I wasn't aware of that, thanks 19:37:28 <Son_Goku> sounds like tika should be removed 19:37:46 <Luigi12> it'd be nice if we could drop it. We can reintroduce it as an update if that makes things easier later once there's a fix. 19:38:03 <Akien> We just need to make sure it can be disabled in its reverse deps 19:38:14 <Akien> Son_Goku: volunteer? :p 19:38:20 <Son_Goku> ehhhhhh 19:38:30 <Akien> :D 19:39:02 <Son_Goku> Java stuff is scary... >_< 19:39:24 <Luigi12> some of the reverse deps didn't look too hard to drop it, the others looked more involved but I didn't get too far with them 19:40:36 <Akien> Luigi12: apart from tika, I think we could drop mp3splt (and maybe readd it in updates if it gets a fix) and ytnef 19:40:44 <Luigi12> cool 19:40:45 <Akien> For the rest, I don't see stuff that could be dropped easily at this stage 19:41:13 <Luigi12> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18987 binutils: tmb has probably addressed as well as we can for now, rest can be fixed later 19:41:16 <[mbot`> [ 18987 binutils several new security issues ] 19:41:25 <tmb> yep 19:41:36 <Luigi12> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19029 apache-poi: another one that is fixed in a later version, not sure why it hasn't been updated (maybe doesn't build again) 19:41:39 <[mbot`> [ 19029 apache-poi new security issues CVE-2016-5000 and CVE-2017-5644 ] 19:41:56 <Luigi12> but again no feedback from neoclust or david or anyone 19:42:18 <Akien> Ah we can drop openvswitch too 19:42:26 <Luigi12> oh yes, definitely 19:42:31 <Akien> Its maintainer is not known for being responsive on security bugs, it's dead upstream and a leaf package 19:42:39 <Luigi12> for sure 19:42:43 <Luigi12> any thoughts on apache-poi? 19:42:48 <Akien> (just needs its dependency removed from os-autoinst) 19:42:54 <Son_Goku> when did openvswitch get dead upstream? 19:42:59 <Son_Goku> it was merged into the kernel, afaik 19:43:02 <Luigi12> well our package has been dead for 4 years 19:43:17 <Luigi12> not sure about upstream, but it was imported and never maintained downstream 19:43:25 <Son_Goku> oh gross 19:43:34 <Akien> apache-poi seems to be a friend of tika's 19:43:45 <Son_Goku> I think OpenQA kind of requires it, though 19:43:59 <Son_Goku> so that package might just need to be kicked hard and synchronized with Fedora 19:44:11 <Akien> Can be done via Core Updates post release 19:44:26 <Luigi12> hopefully 19:44:48 <Son_Goku> openvswitch packaging is actively maintained in Fedora, so we can just synchronize there and benefit from that 19:44:48 <Akien> So to summarize: 19:45:00 <Akien> Drop: mp3splt, ytnef, openvswitch 19:45:06 <Luigi12> Son_Goku: yeah but we have nobody interested in maintaining it 19:45:17 <Akien> Review and if possible drop: tika, apache-poi 19:45:19 <Son_Goku> do we have any interest in using OpenQA? 19:45:24 <Akien> The rest: fix. 19:45:34 <Son_Goku> if we do, then someone needs to keep openvswitch updated too 19:45:42 <Akien> Yes, but we have no interest in maintaining dependencies for OpenQA without having OpenQA in Mageia 6 :) 19:45:45 <Luigi12> ok, https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19668 graphicsmagick: Akien e-mailed the upstream maintainer, we're hoping for a new version shortly after mga6 release 19:45:48 <[mbot`> [ 19668 graphicsmagick several (possible) new security issues ] 19:45:49 <Akien> We can drop it now, readd it fixed for mga7 19:45:54 <Son_Goku> Akien, we have OpenQA in Mageia 6, afaik 19:46:04 <Son_Goku> os-autoinst and openqa packages are both in cauldron now 19:46:09 <Son_Goku> though they might be out of date 19:46:17 <Akien> Son_Goku: Well it doesn't appear to depend on openvswitch then 19:46:20 <Luigi12> we talked about using OpenQA but I don't think we ever got around to it 19:46:29 <Luigi12> so maybe we can drop it and re-add it for mga7 19:46:48 <Akien> === rpms that will have to be deleted === 19:46:49 <Akien> openvswitch 19:46:50 <Akien> os-autoinst: losing ["os-autoinst-openvswitch"], remaining ["os-autoinst", "os-autoinst", "os-autoinst-debuginfo"] 19:47:00 <Akien> (from a script that checks reverse deps) 19:47:56 <Akien> Anyway, let's move on, there are other topics to discuss tonight :) 19:47:58 <Son_Goku> if we can safely purge that dep, then sure 19:48:10 <Luigi12> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19800 dracut: I'm confused on the status here 19:48:12 <[mbot`> [ 19800 dracut new security issue CVE-2016-4484 ] 19:48:26 <Luigi12> it sounded like there's some disagreement on whether an adjustment needs to be made in the installer 19:49:53 <Akien> tmb: Do you have an opinion about that one? 19:50:09 <Son_Goku> my understanding is that the shell is *supposed* to be disabled when you have an encrypted disk 19:51:18 <Son_Goku> besides, it's a debug shell, not the emergency shell, etc. 19:53:02 <tmb> well, the "rd.shell=0" should be added by drakx, but I dont want to change drakx/installer anymore this late in the game... we can errata it with theese points: https://harald.hoyer.xyz/2016/11/15/dracut-and-cve-2016-4484-cryptsetup-initrd-root-shell/ 19:53:03 <[mbot`> [ dracut and CVE-2016-4484: Cryptsetup Initrd root Shell Harald Hoyer ] 19:53:30 <Luigi12> ok, thanks.

I would agree there 20:00:54 <Akien> Yeah for qtwebengine5 20:00:56 <Luigi12> yeah I don't see mysql-connector-java 5.1.42 in SVN 20:00:59 <Akien> Their "LTS" is a joke 20:01:03 <Luigi12> I'm not sure the upgrade was attempted 20:01:06 <Luigi12> Akien: agreed 20:01:28 <Son_Goku> qt5webengine was a mistake, imo 20:01:34 <Luigi12> would be nice if we could try to upgrade mysql-connector-java 20:01:59 <Son_Goku> oh, that reminds me, what do we do about qt5webkit (qtwebkit5)? 20:02:30 <Luigi12> probably not much we can do 20:02:51 <Akien> Trying to build mysql-connector-java locally 20:02:56 <Luigi12> thanks 20:03:12 <Luigi12> next 4 security bugs on the list Akien has already reviewed (thanks Akien!) 20:03:39 <Luigi12> oh, next 5 I should have said 20:03:51 <Luigi12> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21101 mariadb: I need some help with this 20:03:53 <[mbot`> [ 21101 mariadb 10.1.24 ] 20:03:56 <Akien> The libcroco one too yeah, it's pretty minor so no big deal IMO 20:04:15 <Luigi12> the update to 10.1.24 needs to be finished, that's the easy part, but the package also contains a downstream script that needs fixed the same way Fedora fixed theirs 20:04:36 <Luigi12> our two scripts obviously have the same ancestor but they have diverged, so it needs a bit of brains to port the fix to our script 20:04:46 <Akien> (mysql-connector-java doesn't build, error: package org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.connections.spi does not exist) 20:05:03 <Luigi12> ok, so probably a missing package we need to import. Lovely. Thanks for checking. 20:05:18 <Luigi12> can anyone help with fixing the script in mariadb? 20:05:42 <Luigi12> this is really the one I'd like most to fix out of all of these 20:09:35 <Akien> I guess send a call for help on the dev@ ML, I'm not sure we can or should find a voluntary between the happy few who attend this meeting 20:09:43 <marja> Luigi12: AL13N is still around in #mageia-dev, afaik he's still the registered maintainer of mariadb 20:09:48 <Akien> (and I'd like to move on to further topics regarding the release) 20:09:49 <Luigi12> Akien: good idea 20:09:52 <Luigi12> almost done 20:10:03 <Luigi12> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21169 rkhunter: I would be satisifed with disabling the cron by default as a "fix" 20:10:05 <[mbot`> [ 21169 rkhunter new security issue CVE-2017-7480 ] 20:10:06 <Luigi12> so that should be doable 20:10:18 <Luigi12> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21170 lame: no fixes available AFAIK 20:10:20 <[mbot`> [ 21170 lame new security issues CVE-2015-9099, CVE-2015-910[01], CVE-2017-9869, CVE-2017-987[01] ] 20:10:30 <Luigi12> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21177 libgphoto: I can update it, I should do that soon 20:10:32 <Luigi12> done 20:10:32 <[mbot`> [ 21177 libmtp, libgphoto new security issues CVE-2017-9831 and CVE-2017-9832 ] 20:10:34 <Luigi12> next topic 20:10:38 <Luigi12> thanks for the review 20:10:48 <Akien> Thanks :) 20:10:59 <Akien> #topic Release notes 20:11:17 <Akien> To all the not security-savvy here: wake up! :p 20:11:32 <marja> :) 20:12:08 <Akien> Basically we're almost release ready, I'd expect the QA team to give a GO during their Thursday meeting unless a huge blocker shows up 20:12:15 <Akien> What we really need to work on right now is the release notes though. 20:12:33 <wilcal> I agree Akien 20:12:36 <Akien> After 2 years of development, reviewers and users will really be looking at "what have we been waiting for for so long?" 20:12:45 <Akien> So we need release notes that look great. 20:12:50 <ennael> yep needs to be updated to include in stage2 at least 20:12:52 <Akien> https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_6_Release_Notes 20:13:09 <Akien> I haven't had time to look into detail yet, but the current release notes are partly outdated and lack quite important stuff 20:13:26 <marja> Akien: i missed the decision that the classical isos don't need to fit on a 4 gb usb key 20:13:26 <Akien> For example no mention of DNF 2.x support in the "Major new features" 20:13:29 <Akien> Son_Goku: ^ 20:13:34 <Son_Goku> and dnfdragora as a tech preview too 20:13:42 <Son_Goku> that didn't exist when I wrote those notes a year ago 20:13:42 <ennael> marja: yep indeed I just forgot to ask it here 20:13:58 <Akien> Son_Goku: My ping means, you need to write the relevant stuff in the release notes :p 20:14:05 <Son_Goku> yeah, I know 20:14:14 <Son_Goku> I'm also nearly finished with a very nice blog post 20:14:42 <marja> ennael: ok, so that needs to be decided and then communicated? 20:14:48 <ennael> yep 20:14:50 <Son_Goku> the DNF 2.x thing is going to be exciting, as we're the first distro to release with it :) 20:14:56 <Akien> And yeah, the release notes need to be synced when building the ISOs, so we should as them "good" as soon as possible so that we can build the final final final ISOs. 20:14:58 <Son_Goku> aside from Yocto, I guess 20:15:00 <ennael> it becomes more and more complicated to remove packages 20:15:13 <marja> ennael: yeah 20:15:16 <ennael> more DE included and those DEs are bigger and bigger 20:15:34 <Akien> #topic Maximum size of ISOs: lift the 4G limit? 20:15:58 <Son_Goku> this is specifically about classic ISOs, right? 20:16:06 <ennael> for now yes 20:16:12 <ennael> don't know about live 20:16:12 <Luigi12> do we still have old LXDE on the 4G ISO? 20:16:17 <Akien> What's the current size for the classical 64-bit ISO? 20:16:50 <Son_Goku> if we have LXQt, we should drop LXDE 20:16:56 <Luigi12> that's what I was thinking 20:16:59 <ennael> 4053794816 Mageia-6-x86_64-DVD.iso 20:17:01 <Luigi12> you can only fit some many DEs on one ISO 20:17:05 <Luigi12> s/some/so/ 20:17:28 <ennael> Luigi12: pb is when we remove one then we get "why this one ?" 20:17:32 <ennael> endless pb :) 20:17:36 <Luigi12> yeah but we have to demote one 20:17:37 <Akien> Just remove the 1G of 0ad-data :p 20:17:45 <Luigi12> LOL 20:17:52 <Son_Goku> well, at least with LXDE, the answer is "it's dead, jim!" 20:17:59 <Schultz> If we do, it might be an issue for older systems, they are likely the ones that don't have decent internet in the first place 20:17:59 <Luigi12> and has a fine replacement 20:18:02 <Luigi12> and "it's 2017" 20:18:12 <Luigi12> that's why we have the new Live ISO with a light DE 20:18:14 <Luigi12> I forget which one 20:18:17 <Son_Goku> xfce 20:18:17 <Luigi12> XFCE? 20:18:31 <marja> Luigi12: yes 20:18:36 <Luigi12> and it shouldn't be an issue for older systems, there are still other options on the classical ISO 20:18:36 <Son_Goku> it would have been lxqt if it wasn't for the qt5 issues with disabling sse2 20:18:51 <Luigi12> it seems like the most logical one to go 20:18:53 <Son_Goku> specifically with sddm 20:18:54 <Son_Goku> yeah 20:19:00 <Son_Goku> if we're not removing from the archive, at least from the ISO 20:19:03 <papoteur> 64 b DVD is 4 053 794 816 bytes 20:19:14 <Schultz> As in bad internet - get the classical iso from the library or wherever, then you are set for a large package choice - the live can't provide that 20:19:38 <Son_Goku> Schultz, yes, but when you have Xfce AND LXQt, there's no point in including LXDE 20:19:47 <Akien> Well there is no reason to drop LXDE completely. But yes we can remove it from ISOs if it removes the 55M necessary. 20:19:48 <tmb> it's also about being able to reuse 4GB usb sticks 20:19:56 <Luigi12> yeah we can't fit ALL of the distro on the ISO, choices have to be made 20:20:14 <Schultz> Son_guku: really not my point - I agree LXDE should be dropped 20:20:17 <Son_Goku> Luigi12: well.... 20:20:19 <ennael> do you still have 4GB usb keys ? 20:20:22 <Luigi12> yes I'm not proposing dropping it completely 20:20:36 <Luigi12> there certainly still are 4GB DVD discs 20:20:40 <Son_Goku> yes 20:20:47 <Son_Goku> 4.7GB DVDs still exist 20:20:59 <Schultz> Yeah the DVD size is my concern, not many Bluray readers going 20:21:00 <Son_Goku> but I have a hard time finding 4GB USB sticks these days 20:21:11 <marja> ennael: i do, my 32bit laptop refuses to boot from usb keys that are larger than 4gb 20:21:17 <Akien> (about the talk of dropping LXDE, I don't think we'd win much place - it is really lightweight) 20:21:33 <ennael> Akien: indeed just checked it's nearly nothing 20:21:54 <Akien> Installing task-lxde-minimal on my system brings 13MB. 20:21:55 <Son_Goku> hmm, apparently we don't include LXQt on the ISO 20:21:57 <Schultz> its not like it brings in many unneeded toolkits and such 20:21:58 * Luigi12 has 3 4GB USB sticks sitting on his desk right in front of him 20:22:06 <Akien> Arguably I might have many of its deps installed, but many of its deps are the same as Xfce anyway. 20:22:12 <filip> not new but old 4 gb are still around. and very useful for exactly this purpose (install) 20:22:22 <tmb> oh they are still around and I dont think of devs, as most of them have bigger... but end-users with no extra money to spare would like to use their usb sticks and not have to buy new ones 20:22:33 <Schultz> I have a fair few 4Gb lying around, some 1 and 2Gb ones too 20:22:41 * sebsebseb idles 20:23:01 <Luigi12> sebsebseb: no interruptions please 20:23:03 <Son_Goku> if we really wanted to, we could produce large USB / DVD-DL media to go with the small USB / DVD-SL media 20:23:12 <Luigi12> Akien: ahh that's a bummer, I thought it'd free more space 20:23:23 <tmb> so the 4GB limit is more of a service to to end-users 20:23:52 <tmb> the current isos will still fit nicely on SL DVDs 20:24:10 <marja> yeah 20:24:20 <filip> DVDs are dying anyway 20:24:23 <wilcal> moving to another computer 20:24:25 <Akien> At the same time if we decide not to lift the limit now, we'll have to lift it next time anyway. libreoffice, firefox, DEs, etc., even the kernel only grow bigger and bigger. 20:24:47 <Schultz> I feel that we should be ok with DVDs, not sure how much the USB issue matters, although if the issue marja has is common, then maybe its a bigger one 20:24:58 <Luigi12> indeed 20:25:05 <Son_Goku> if it's not too much more work, we could produce two images, one with a larger selection for larger sticks and DVD-DL media 20:25:08 <Schultz> How big is the 32bit ISO? 20:25:10 <Son_Goku> not now, but in the future 20:25:20 <marja> we need to lift the limit, or we won't get mga6 out 20:25:22 <tmb> yeah, there is a lot of broken hw out there :/ 20:25:59 <ennael> 4075814912 Mageia-6-i586-DVD.iso 20:26:16 <ennael> nearly the same 20:26:16 <Luigi12> I don't think we want to add another ISO at this point though 20:26:28 <Luigi12> we already did with the Live XFCE, don't want to kill QA 20:26:30 <filip> but if it takes a lot of time it's not worth it I guess. mga6 can't wait much longer ;) 20:26:48 <marja> no, no extra iso now 20:26:54 <ennael> one other solution would be to remove languages 20:27:00 <ennael> but it can be tricky 20:27:05 <Luigi12> I've seen other distros do that 20:27:07 <ennael> what languages and we have to sync all apps 20:27:12 <Schultz> Hmm, I guess the 32/64bit argument doesn't really hold, you have to go back a pretty long way to get 32bit only systems 20:27:14 <Akien> I don't like the idea to remove languages. 20:27:26 <ennael> neither do I 20:27:30 <filip> ennael: not worth it because only active ones are big 20:27:35 <Son_Goku> yeah 20:27:36 <Schultz> Same, languages should stay 20:27:39 <Luigi12> it's not that hard to find a 32-bit system, it's called a VM 20:27:53 <Akien> I think we should allow ourselves to go past the 4G limit for Mageia 6, otherwise we'll delay endlessly trying to put the ISOs on a diet. 20:27:57 <marja> yep, keep the languages 20:28:06 <Akien> If users complain, we can reconsider and maybe make a lightweight classical ISO later on. 20:28:16 <marja> Akien: +1 20:28:20 <Luigi12> sounds OK 20:28:27 <filip> there's still a network install as a fallback 20:28:33 <Luigi12> yep 20:28:35 <Schultz> Luigi12: but how many 32bit vms are there that wont work on larger iso's? 20:28:40 <Akien> But tbh, I expect that users who can't afford a 8G USB stick would just use a live DVD and then install packages over network. 20:28:48 <Luigi12> Schultz: oh LOL, sorry 20:28:55 <Son_Goku> I forgot, we do have the netinstall ISO 20:29:13 <Son_Goku> and of course, we have the live media, which sit at ~2GB 20:29:41 <Schultz> Luigi12: no worries, was having a giggle at the thought of trying to run a vm on a 32bit system... P4 days 20:30:01 <filip> I'm against if it takes more than a few hours. we're even wasting time now ;) 20:30:17 <Akien> So I say let's go for those 4.05G ISOs. 20:30:30 <Akien> And no, that's not a pretext to add plenty of new packages now :p We only fix bugs at this stage ;) 20:30:39 <tmb> ok, so lets go for lifting the limit to SL DVD size for now and see the fallout when we release :) 20:30:51 <Akien> SL DVD is 4.7G? 20:30:54 <Son_Goku> yes 20:30:56 <Schultz> yeah, lets get this release out, sl dvd limit makes perfect sense to me 20:31:00 <Akien> Sounds good. 20:31:03 <ennael> I will not add more packages 20:31:16 <tmb> thats sales speak... computer speak is some 4.3 20:31:29 <filip> CI still does fit on some 4g keys anyway 20:32:02 <Akien> filip: not the 3.7G ones marketed as 4G :P 20:32:14 <tmb> ennael, you can drop the all-nonfree.rdz from the isos to gain some space 20:32:15 <filip> yeah. let's move on 20:32:19 <Akien> But it would be the same issue with being just below the 4G limit anyway 20:32:59 <Son_Goku> can we hurry through this? I gotta go soon 20:33:22 <Akien> Yeah. Maybe we can finish by deciding of the next steps for the release? (and a kind of ETA?) 20:33:42 <Akien> Just so that we don't miss 2 weeks of meeting again and it's already end of July :D 20:33:45 <marja> #agreed lift the 4GB limit for the isos, consider building a light CI later on if users complain 20:33:45 <tmb> ennael, and drop kernel-source... the kernel-devel packages are enough 20:34:23 * tmb already found 150K to drop :) 20:34:23 <Akien> #topic Release schedule 20:34:37 <filip> there are 2 more issue I see: web documentation update and mga6 pages 20:34:52 <papoteur> tmb :) 20:35:13 <ennael> 130M 20:35:20 <Akien> Should we aim at making the final final final ISOs for this week-end? 20:35:26 <ennael> let's try this for now 20:35:45 <Son_Goku> can we please just do the "really final" ones now? 20:35:45 <ennael> even if I agree with Akien , at one point it will not be enough anymore 20:35:55 <ennael> we need mageia-release 20:35:59 <Son_Goku> lets flip the bloody switches and start doing this 20:36:24 <Son_Goku> mageia-release, mageia-repos (mkrel 1 and non-Cauldron), and doc update->sync are required, right? 20:36:28 <Luigi12> this weekend sounds OK 20:36:29 <wilcal> Lets Go! 20:36:33 <Akien> Son_Goku: Do you want DNF to be missing from the release notes on the release final ones? :) 20:36:35 <ennael> release notes 20:36:53 <Schultz> Lets aim for the weekend 20:36:55 <Son_Goku> Akien, I'm going to be updating the release notes this evening, after my independence day bbq thing 20:36:59 <tmb> yep. its time to flip the switch, but that also means _no_ more freeze pushes unless they fix something _on_ the isos 20:37:03 <Akien> Son_Goku: Great :) 20:37:13 <Akien> tmb: Duly noted. 20:37:32 <Luigi12> hopefully QA can give final GO on ISOs Thursday, July 13? 20:37:35 <Akien> So let's say new ISOs on Friday evening? 20:37:41 <Akien> Until then: 20:37:50 <Akien> - Improve release notes (please all read them and do fixes, add stuff) 20:38:03 <Akien> - Drop packages we mentioned before 20:38:43 <Akien> - Prepare web and docs 20:38:56 <papoteur> Are documentation manuals on ISO. If yes, they should be released before. There are ready. 20:39:02 <Son_Goku> oh, and we need do some summer cleanup of the mirrors 20:39:06 <Son_Goku> this is really painful :( 20:39:11 <Akien> So release on Friday 14? :o) 20:39:21 <Son_Goku> well, it's not Friday the 13th, so it's a great omen! 20:39:26 <filip> leuhmanu has also refreshed our main website image: https://mga.hiebel.eu/.
