19:05:54 <MrsB> Hi all welcome to another one
19:06:05 <MrsB> especially welcome is this is your first time here
19:06:12 <oblacheto> Hi all

19:06:28 <oblacheto> This is my first time here
19:06:29 <Kernewes> I'm seeing one or two different names
19:06:31 <MrsB> Hi oblacheto
19:06:49 <MrsB> Anybody else?
19:07:02 <DavidWHodgins> Hi oblacheto. I'm Dave Hodgins, from London, Ontario, Canada.
19:07:17 <MrsB> Easton: you are new too aren't you
19:07:22 <oblacheto> My name is Damyan and I introduced myself yesterday at the mailing list
19:07:36 <akien> Welcome aboard Damyan!
19:07:37 <wilcal> Hello and welcome to Damyan
19:07:41 <Kernewes> welcome
19:08:01 <DavidWHodgins> I'm one of the deputy leaders of the qa team, but due to health problems haven't been very active lately.
19:08:02 <MrsB> Yes, Dave beat me to it, I was going to say introduce yourself and everybody will do the same
19:08:28 <wilcal> "wilcal" for (Wil)liam in (Cal)ifornia, live near San Diego ( Surf City USA )
19:08:29 <wilcal> where the surf is really up up today.
19:08:49 <Kernewes> he's the other deputy leader
19:08:59 <MrsB> I am Claire, current team leader, live in the black country, UK
19:09:09 <Kernewes> I'm Carolyn from Cornwall, UK, occasional helper
19:09:13 <wilcal> UK is green country
19:09:13 <DavidWHodgins> My background is in software development/sysadmin/database admin on ibm mainframes. Been With the Mageia qa team since it was formed.
19:09:20 <diogenese> William Murphy from Weaverville, California.
19:09:36 <Easton> hi all, I'm Mathieu, from Arras in France.
19:09:44 <Kernewes> Easton: hello and welcome
19:09:49 <wilcal> Hello Mathieu
19:09:56 <lewyssmith> Lewis expat Celt in France.
19:10:08 <MrsB> Hi Damyan and Mathieu. Welcome to the QA team.
19:10:21 <wilcal> The best team at Mageia
19:10:27 <DavidWHodgins> lol
19:10:36 <MrsB> oldest maybe
19:10:41 <Kernewes> lol
19:10:46 <lewyssmith> [Still don't know what that means]
19:10:56 <DavidWHodgins> No, sysadmins were first, then developers, then qa.
19:11:02 <wilcal> It actually goes back many years through Mandriva and Mandrake
19:11:02 <Kernewes> lewyssmith: what what means?
19:11:06 <lewyssmith> LOL
19:11:15 <MrsB> ahh cheat
19:11:16 <Kernewes> laughs out loud
19:11:25 <dvg_i> lots of laughs
19:11:25 <lewyssmith> Thanks.
19:11:45 <Kernewes> MrsB: when you said oldest, I thought you meant age of people :)
19:11:51 <MrsB> I did :P
19:11:56 <Easton> I search desperately to take the time this week to read and understand the qa team activity!
19:11:57 <lewyssmith> Too true...
19:12:06 <akien> Rémi from Lyon, France - Student in Energy engineering (at least until the end of September ;))
19:12:19 <rindolf> Kernewes: hi, what's new?
19:12:20 <Kernewes> Easton: it looks worse than it is
19:12:21 <tmb> meh... it's all in the head...
19:12:22 <MrsB> If you need any help please do ask
19:12:25 <rindolf> MrsB: hi, what's new?
19:12:26 <akien> Doing a bit of everything in Mageia :-)
19:13:00 <wilcal> Time to graduate and find a job Rémi
19:13:11 <akien> Yep, next month :-)
19:13:18 <MrsB> So withouut further ado, let's get going..
19:13:20 <wilcal> Good for you
19:13:28 <lewyssmith> La transition �nergetique, perhaps?
19:13:40 <oblacheto> Maybe I have to thank akien for the post on the mageia blog
19:13:40 <akien> lewyssmith: Mais naturellement :-)
19:13:50 <Kernewes> that was a great blog post
19:13:51 <MrsB> #topic Did we do what we had to do from last week or not?
19:13:58 <oblacheto> After I red it i decided to join the Mageia QA team
19:14:22 <DavidWHodgins> I managed to test the krb5 update, and upload some advisories to svn, but that's been about it for me.
19:14:29 <akien> oblacheto: Well I'm taking credits for it, but I'm not the one who wrote it, I just worked on it in the Atelier team. It's mostly written by Max, another contributor
19:14:34 <MrsB> We had alot of interest from the blog post. I hope now it translates into lots of new contributors
19:14:36 <wilcal> The number of line items on
19:14:38 <wilcal> http://mageia.madb.org/tools/updates
19:14:40 <[mbot> [ Mageia App Db - Current Update candidates ]
19:14:41 <wilcal> has come down
19:14:43 <lewyssmith> MrsB: Wish I knew.
19:15:00 <MrsB> #Info No :\ sorry..
19:15:25 <wilcal> we make progress but it's a little like a treadmill
19:15:29 <MrsB> #info Action Items:  1.   MrsB to ask leuhmanu how he wants to handle release blocker bugs
19:15:43 <wilcal> Good idea MrsB
19:15:49 <MrsB> http://meetbot.mageia.org/mageia-qa/2014/mageia-qa.2014-08-21-19.06.html
19:15:50 <[mbot> [ #mageia-qa Meeting ]
19:16:06 <MrsB> so failed there I'm afraid. It's been a bit hectic
19:16:17 <MrsB> I'll catch up with him this week!
19:16:29 <Kernewes> that's not too desperate for the moment, is it?
19:16:31 * MrsB begs forgiveness
19:16:37 * Kernewes grants it
19:16:51 <MrsB> thanks :0
19:17:04 <MrsB> With that out of the way ..
19:17:16 <Kernewes> or not...
19:17:16 <DavidWHodgins> ☺
19:17:27 <MrsB> #topic Testing updates
19:17:47 <wilcal> The churning of the updates :-))
19:17:48 <DavidWHodgins> You keep beating me to changing the topic. :-)
19:17:50 <MrsB> oblacheto: I know you've made some good progress with this
19:18:01 <MrsB> been practising Dave :D
19:18:03 <Kernewes> DavidWHodgins: now you know how she feels
19:18:17 <DavidWHodgins> Kernewes: lol
19:18:34 <MrsB> Easton: The new wiki page should help you to get started
19:18:38 <Kernewes> I've had a busy month, am hoping September will be quieter and I can do a few
19:19:02 <MrsB> https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Your_first_steps_in_the_QA_team
19:19:02 <DavidWHodgins> So does anyone have any questions about setting up test environments, and testing updates?
19:19:40 <oblacheto> MrsB: Yes today I started to test distcc updates
19:19:49 <wilcal> Oh oh tmb snuck a couple of kernel updates in there. Now I know what I'm gonna be doing this weekend
19:19:54 <lewyssmith> DavidWHodgins: There needs to be a *lot* of info about how to set different things up, e.g. VMs.
19:19:58 <oblacheto> I have 4 vm - each release each arch
19:20:17 <oblacheto> and tomorrow I will continue
19:20:23 <wilcal> That's basically what I don obla
19:20:40 <MrsB> oblacheto: Yes that's great, well done. Don't go into too much detail with those. If you can't see readily how to make it work we can just ensure it updates cleanly. It was a minor update.
19:20:43 <Kernewes> papoteur: hello
19:20:43 <lewyssmith> wilcal: I saw these available for update, but not in the lsit.
19:20:45 <akien> Hi papoteur
19:20:51 <DavidWHodgins> I have 6 virtualbox installs, 6 test installs, plus my regular day to day install, which is Mageia 4 x86_64.
19:20:56 <papoteur> Hi!
19:21:04 <MrsB> Hi papoteur
19:21:06 <wilcal> hello papo
19:21:08 <lewyssmith> Salut.
19:21:20 <oblacheto> MrsB: Ok, I got it :)
19:21:43 <DavidWHodgins> lewyssmith: It's normal for a kernel update that is not a critical security update to be tested for a while, before the bug report gets formally assigned to qa.
19:21:59 <lewyssmith> So OK to update it to try?
19:22:10 <DavidWHodgins> lewyssmith: Yes.
19:22:16 <lewyssmith> Will do.
19:22:30 <MrsB> Are there any there that look scary?
19:22:38 <akien> oblacheto, Easton: To get started you can test minetest (dead easy) and squid (there's a working procedure, if it's not clear enough, feel free to ask, I can detail it more)
19:22:45 <wilcal> kernel updates should be tested on as many machines as possible and Vbox
19:22:46 <MrsB> http://mageia.madb.org/tools/updates
19:22:49 <[mbot> [ Mageia App Db - Current Update candidates ]
19:22:51 <DavidWHodgins> I'm currently running the new kernel on both my i586 and x86_64 systems, with no problems found so far.
19:22:53 <lewyssmith> MrsB: Most of them baffle me.
19:22:55 <tmb> yes. as we are switching from 3.12 to 3.14 we want broad hw tests on the kernels...
19:23:01 <Kernewes> lewyssmith: +1
19:23:07 <akien> I'm running kernel-linus right now
19:23:17 <lewyssmith> Kernewes: Diolch.
19:23:52 <wilcal> tmb: I see you're go'n for the Gold with M5 & 3.17
19:23:59 <lewyssmith> akien: I shall try Squid.
19:23:59 <DavidWHodgins> As I understand it, kernel-desktop and kernel-server are the most used, so need the most testing.
19:24:18 <tmb> but currently they are not fixing any security issue that we dont aleady have fixes, so it's ok to let them take some time...
19:24:30 <Easton> what's the priorities in updates candidates ?
19:24:46 <lewyssmith> As per the listing.
19:24:46 <MrsB> It is pretty much top to bottom of that list Easton
19:24:59 <wilcal> If they are security + red they're really important
19:25:04 <MrsB> yes
19:25:28 <MrsB> red = critical, bold = high, normal = normal
19:25:43 <Easton> ok
19:25:58 <DavidWHodgins> wilcal: It also depends on if whatever the bug is, is being actively exploited, in the wild. In that case we really rush the testing.
19:25:59 <lewyssmith> Re the PPP one, is it enough simply to update it & use Ethernet/Internet connection? I have/am currently.
19:25:59 <tmb> yes, kernel-desktop(586) and kernel-server covers most of our users, the kernel-linus one  is a reference kernel to spot regressions between patched and clean upstream code
19:26:10 <MrsB> We try to work som bugfix testing in among the security updates too or they tend to stagnate
19:26:57 <akien> Bugfix updates are also usually easier to test, because you can often check that the bug is actually fixed
19:27:19 <wilcal> Bugfix are a little better documented too I think
19:27:23 <akien> But that's only "usually", sometimes I have no clue :-)
19:27:32 <DavidWHodgins> wilcal: Sometimes we get a "embargoed" update, where the proof of concept is only distributed by email, and not in the bug report.
19:28:33 <MrsB> Please don't expect to be familiar with the packages we have to test, it is rarely the case, so you're not alone in that.
19:29:00 <lewyssmith> Repeat me question above re PPP bug.
19:29:04 <wilcal> Sometimes you have to press the developer to help setting up a test procedure
19:29:06 <MrsB> QA testing is one long learning experience
19:29:43 <wilcal> But as I have said QA is not Engineering, they have to provide understandable testing procedures
19:29:44 <Kernewes> some are a long testing experience too, like PHP with dozens of packages
19:29:46 <DavidWHodgins> One of the benefits of being on the qa team, is that you get exposed to packages you've never heard of, that prove useful, like redshift, and redshift-gtk.
19:30:11 <lewyssmith> And useless...
19:30:15 <MrsB> I haven't looked into it yet lewis. ppp is an older potocol isn't it. It's one we haven't updated before
19:30:16 <DavidWHodgins> :-)
19:30:27 <Kernewes> you get to test some rubbish games too :(
19:30:30 <akien> Yes just today I was able to point a forum member to OCR software, because I had tested tesseract and gscan2pdf months ago :-)
19:30:48 <DavidWHodgins> MrsB: As far as I know, it's only used with dial up modems.
19:30:51 <wilcal> You get to play/poke at a lot of different packages
19:31:03 <lewyssmith> DavidWHodgins: I wondered that.
19:31:03 <Kernewes> I did something with graphickmagic the other day, only discovered that through testing
19:31:06 <DavidWHodgins> We will likely only be able to confirm it updates cleanly.
19:31:08 <wilcal> I once used a 110buad modem
19:31:08 <MrsB> Isn't it used with vpn's too
19:31:18 <wilcal> Cost $3000
19:31:23 <lewyssmith> !
19:31:29 <MrsB> In short, it'll need some investigation
19:31:42 <DavidWHodgins> wilcal: Ah. You had a high speed modem. :-) The first modem I used was 30 baud.
19:31:53 <wilcal> :-))
19:32:24 <MrsB> Any others there that look scary?
19:32:26 <wilcal> Did you use an acoustic coupler David?
19:32:43 <wilcal> we're getting off track :-))
19:32:45 <lewyssmith> Back on course, gentlemen.
19:33:01 <MrsB> it's like mentioning the war at an old filks home :D
19:33:02 <akien> duplicity needs access to a SSH server it seems
19:33:04 <DavidWHodgins> wilcal: Yes. lewyssmithYep
19:33:04 <MrsB> folks*
19:33:27 <lewyssmith> Only men were drifting.
19:33:29 <DavidWHodgins> Sorry
19:33:52 <MrsB> Duplicity needs ssh i think yes. Another one we've not encountered before
19:33:52 <wilcal> are we in agreement that testing ppp is as easy as makes an ethernet connection?
19:34:13 <Luigi12_work> no it's not used for ethernet
19:34:18 <Luigi12_work> it's used for dial-up modem connections
19:34:19 <MrsB> It needs further investigation wilcal. I don't think it's used on a LAN
19:34:25 <lewyssmith> I still want help with Bacula, it is stalled.
19:34:39 <wilcal> luigi and I are going round and round on
19:34:41 <wilcal> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13904
19:34:43 <[mbot> Bug 13904: normal, Normal, qa-bugs, NEW , libgcrypt new elgamal side-channel attack security issue fixed in 1.5.4 (CVE-2014-5270), libgcrypt-1.5.3-2.mga4.src.rpm
19:35:16 <wilcal> bacula is a bit of a mystery to me
19:35:36 <MrsB> bacula: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7470#c15
19:35:38 <[mbot> Bug 7470: normal, Normal, qa-bugs, RESOLVED FIXED, bacula - Improper ACL rules enforcement by dumping resources (CVE-2012-4430), bacula
19:35:49 <DavidWHodgins> I still have a modem in my old i586 system, but haven't used it in years, and don't currently have it connected to the phone line, or know if it still works.
19:36:41 <MrsB> ppp is required by wvdial (amongst others) so can be tested with strace at a minimum
19:36:52 <lewyssmith> I think I have a modem, but nowhere to connect to.
19:37:01 <wilcal> I think I've got one hang'n around here too but also haven't used it for years
19:37:08 <wilcal> i have no idea what to connect to
19:37:28 <MrsB> Not necessary to make a connection if you don't have hw installed. Just show it's loading it.
19:37:42 <wilcal> HA!!!!!! I don't have a phone line. So much for that test
19:38:12 <MrsB> I'll have a play with ppp tomorrow
19:38:25 <akien> I tried the PoC for glibc https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2014-5119
19:38:26 <[mbot> Bug CVE: could not be retrieved: InvalidBugId
19:38:38 <akien> But it doesn't seem to work on mga4 32bit
19:38:55 <akien> It says it was designed for Fedora 20 32bit, and does not produce the expected output with glibc from Core Updates.
19:38:56 <DavidWHodgins> akien: Some bugs only affect one arch.
19:39:50 <DavidWHodgins> Also, some bugs don't affect Mageia, due to the compile/link options used.
19:40:11 <lewyssmith> akien: I will try that too; glibc already updated.
19:40:19 <tmb> the glibc CVE fix is simple and safe since the whole problematic code is removed :)
19:40:22 <DavidWHodgins> If you can't recreate the poc, just test that it updates cleanly, and basic functions work.
19:40:37 <akien> DavidWHodgins: Ok
19:40:45 <MrsB> You can also check rpmdiff with madb using the RPS's link on the list page
19:40:51 <MrsB> RPM's
19:41:06 <lewyssmith> If you know how...
19:41:19 <akien> lewyssmith: You click on "RPM"
19:41:21 <MrsB> or learn how :)
19:41:36 <akien> *RPMs actually
19:42:23 <MrsB> Stromi will not thank us if everybody is now clicking on that :D
19:42:27 <MrsB> Stormi
19:42:33 <MrsB> typo night again
19:42:41 <DavidWHodgins> :-)
19:42:51 <lewyssmith> Alzheimer's; it is normal.
19:42:52 <akien> Yes that's true :-)
19:42:59 <DavidWHodgins> It does place a load on the server
19:43:02 <MrsB> getting tired
19:43:10 <Kernewes> me too
19:43:16 <DavidWHodgins> Me too. Shall we move on?
19:43:25 <MrsB> Are there any others there that look scary?
19:43:56 <Kernewes> if so, don't do them before bedtime and give yourself nightmares
19:43:59 <MrsB> I'll do blender mga3 32 tomorrow on my laptop
19:44:01 <akien> What about pykolab?
19:44:04 <wilcal> have we a test process for blender
19:44:04 <akien> It's getting old
19:44:20 <wilcal> does it run standalone?
19:44:26 <wilcal> I've never used it
19:44:30 <MrsB> it's been a bit of a saga. Have a go, it's not that difficult.
19:44:41 <wilcal> Start it how
19:44:50 <MrsB> you can see previous comments on that bug for more info
19:44:54 <wilcal> ok
19:45:12 <akien> Procedure is in comment 25 apparently.
19:45:18 <MrsB> Is there anything else updates before we move on?
19:45:27 <wilcal> It's luigi time
19:45:28 <MrsB> everybody confident
19:45:37 <MrsB> disco dave..
19:45:39 <DavidWHodgins> #topic Luigi's Roundup - Weekly roundup of security updates with Luigi12
19:45:44 <DavidWHodgins> :-)
19:45:44 <Luigi12_work> boo
19:45:46 <MrsB> \o/ thanks :)
19:45:51 <wilcal> hello luigi
19:45:55 <MrsB> Morning Luigi12_work
19:46:11 <wilcal> Luigi is a super contributor for us
19:46:25 <MrsB> Luigi12 build most of our security updates so you will se alot of him (David Walser)
19:46:45 <Kernewes> he's the one we blame when the testing list gets too long
19:46:59 <MrsB> we have only ourselves to blame then unfortunately
19:47:35 <Luigi12_work> I haven't heard from Oden this week, so maybe he'll be back next week to work on PHP and Cacti (hopefully)
19:47:43 <Luigi12_work> Luc said he'd work on the Mageia 4 KDE update this weekend
19:47:56 <MrsB> php for libmagic?
19:48:19 <Luigi12_work> yes, plus another partially unfixed CVE from one of the previous two updates, the DNS TXT record one
19:48:42 <Luigi12_work> also security issues in the fish package, so I filed a bug with guillomovitch for that one this week, hopefully we'll have that soon
19:48:50 <MrsB> #info There will be updates for php (Same cve as file from earlier this week) and Cacti when Oden is back
19:49:29 <Luigi12_work> still waiting for help with all the older ones :o(
19:49:40 <MrsB> worth another ping on the ml maybe
19:49:59 <Luigi12_work> that's all I have, unless there are questions
19:50:04 <DavidWHodgins> #info Mageia 4 KDE update likely this weekend.
19:50:14 <DavidWHodgins> Luigi12_work: Thanks!
19:50:20 <wilcal> oooOOOooOOO that's a big one
19:50:26 <MrsB> That was a quick one, thanks Luigi12_work
19:50:32 <wilcal> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13904
19:50:33 <[mbot> Bug 13904: normal, Normal, qa-bugs, NEW , libgcrypt new elgamal side-channel attack security issue fixed in 1.5.4 (CVE-2014-5270), libgcrypt-1.5.3-2.mga4.src.rpm
19:50:33 <wilcal> Now I'm completely confused as to how to confirm that this
19:50:35 <wilcal> bug has been properly updated.
19:50:38 <DavidWHodgins> wilcal: Yes. Lots of packages to test.
19:50:46 <wilcal> Or what I did is good enough
19:51:01 <MrsB> Let's see after the meeting wilcal
19:51:08 <wilcal> ok
19:51:16 <MrsB> That only leaves..
19:51:22 <Luigi12_work> maybe DavidWHodgins remembers how to set which gpg binary kgpg uses
19:51:37 <MrsB> sounds like a Dave one
19:51:47 <DavidWHodgins> wilcal: side-channel attacks are very hard to reproduce, so we ususally only test that it updates cleanly, and basic functions work
19:52:18 <MrsB> #topic Anything else?
19:52:23 <lewyssmith> Luigi12_work: David. Can you summarise the KDE thing? Why cannot we take on board all those things in Updated Testing? There was a lot of work behind them.
19:52:32 <wilcal> Not here. A couple things after
19:52:56 <Luigi12_work> lewyssmith: the KDE update has finally been approved, but the packages in updates_testing aren't 100% ready
19:53:06 <Luigi12_work> lewyssmith: Luc has a few more changes to do in them before pushing to QA
19:53:19 <lewyssmith> But will be soos, if I understood correctly.
19:53:25 <Luigi12_work> should be, yes
19:53:28 <DavidWHodgins> Luigi12_work: In kgpg, select settings, GnuPg Settins, and set the Program path.
19:53:35 <Luigi12_work> wilcal: ^^^
19:53:47 <Luigi12_work> make sure it's /usr/bin/gpg2
19:53:58 <MrsB> I haven't heard how kde is progressing, we'll get it when it's ready
19:54:10 <DavidWHodgins> Luigi12_work: You can just specify gpg, or gpg2, and it will search the path.
19:54:21 <lewyssmith> MrsB: We have it now - since ages.
19:54:22 <wilcal> arg!!!!
19:54:23 <Luigi12_work> ok
19:54:34 <Luigi12_work> lewyssmith: no the packages aren't 100% ready
19:54:35 <MrsB> That's not ready yet though lewis
19:54:43 <Luigi12_work> some of them will be updated again with more patches
19:54:48 <lewyssmith> I understood.
19:54:57 <MrsB> we need to ensure that the final packages can be updated from the existing packages without any errors
19:54:57 <DavidWHodgins> For kde, it's so massive, we can't test every program, so we just install the update, and use it for a week or so.
19:55:27 <lewyssmith> Cannot wait for the Testing list to shrink.
19:55:38 <MrsB> yes, make a point of trying out the applications that are updated though
19:56:16 <MrsB> Is there anything else?
19:56:21 <wilcal> not here
19:56:29 <DavidWHodgins> Not here either.
19:56:29 <lewyssmith> Nor me.
19:56:35 <Kernewes> no
19:56:41 <DavidWHodgins> #topic Anything else?
19:56:50 <MrsB> we did that dave
19:56:59 <DavidWHodgins> Oops!
19:57:04 <wilcal> anything anything else?
19:57:06 <MrsB> you snooze you lose ;)
19:57:20 <papoteur> Yes, another topic
19:57:21 <MrsB> T - 5 then
19:57:23 <DavidWHodgins> :-)
19:57:23 <MrsB> oh
19:57:34 <MrsB> launch cancelled
19:57:35 <DavidWHodgins> Wait
19:57:43 <MrsB> go ahead papoteur
19:57:45 <papoteur> I have put a mageiaSync in github
19:58:00 <papoteur> https://github.com/papoteur-mga/mageiaSync
19:58:01 <[mbot> [ papoteur-mga/mageiaSync · GitHub ]
19:58:07 <MrsB> Ahh that looked interesting
19:58:08 <akien> And it's awesome :-o
19:58:19 <akien> dorsync with a GUI \o/
19:58:29 <papoteur> it's an GUi application like dorsync, in python/Qt5
19:58:48 <MrsB> #info please grab mageiaSync from papoteur's github and try it out
19:59:04 <lewyssmith> Please mail-list this.
19:59:05 <papoteur> I think it is yet functional, but not largely improved.
19:59:08 <MrsB> I've been wanting to do that since I wrote the script papoteur \o/
19:59:44 <DavidWHodgins> Bookmarked. Will try it with beta 1.
19:59:49 <MrsB> #info it is designed to be dorsync with GUI
20:00:03 <MrsB> thanks papoteur
20:00:07 <akien> Yes there are some glitches, but it has the long awaited feature to select only a subset of ISOs to rsync
20:00:12 <papoteur> At start, you give some parameters. You get the list of remote ISOs and local.
20:00:24 <DavidWHodgins> akien: Does it have a "select all"?
20:00:29 <akien> DavidWHodgins: Yep
20:00:45 <papoteur> DavidWHodgins: Yes, it's the fist button ;)
20:00:51 <MrsB> does it remember which you selected papoteur?
20:00:52 <akien> You need to install python-qt5 to launch it.
20:00:52 <papoteur> first
20:01:08 <DavidWHodgins> Good. I was thinking about doing the same thing (bash/dialog), but never got around to actually doing it.
20:01:56 <papoteur> MrsB: I don't understand very well. What to remember ?
20:02:22 <MrsB> if you only sync a few ISOs does it remember which ones so that when they are rebuilt it will sync the same ones?
20:02:35 <papoteur> The date test is not functional, but md5 and SHA1 are OK.
20:03:00 <MrsB> Morning Bill W
20:03:09 <wrw105> Hiya, MrsB!
20:03:13 <Kernewes> I have to go now, goodbye everyone
20:03:18 <david_david> I also tested it and I must say it is very awesome :p
20:03:20 <MrsB> nite Kernewes
20:03:20 <DavidWHodgins> papoteur: For example, someone on an i586 system will only want the dual, and i586 iso images.
20:03:25 <lewyssmith> Goodbye Carolyn.
20:03:27 <akien> MrsB: Since it displays which ISOs you have locally, that can be seen as the "remember which ISOs I want feature"
20:03:32 <DavidWHodgins> Kernewes: Have a good night.
20:03:50 <papoteur> MrsB: even if you select an already synced ISO, nothing is to download and rsync will stop quickly.
20:04:35 <MrsB> OK, so it lists the ISOs you have locally or the ISOs avaliable on the server?
20:04:38 <akien> But yes there could maybe be a checkbox for each ISO to define if you want to sync it, and this setting could be saved in the config file.
20:04:44 <akien> MrsB: Both
20:04:49 <MrsB> cool :)
20:05:01 <akien> A bit like a FTP client
20:05:09 <MrsB> Let's have aplay with it then guys please and find any issues
20:05:27 <DavidWHodgins> Does it handle renaming old iso images, such as from alpha2 to beta1?
20:05:30 <papoteur> MrsB: both ISOs are listed in two tables.
20:05:45 <MrsB> I'll check it out p apoteur, thanks for oyur work on it
20:05:52 <akien> DavidWHodgins: There's a feature for that, but I haven't tried it out yet
20:06:06 <DavidWHodgins> That would avoid a lot of easy to make mistakes.
20:06:27 <MrsB> Let's wrap up the meeting then guys
20:06:28 <DavidWHodgins> papoteur: Yes, Thanks!
20:06:32 <DavidWHodgins> One more thing
20:06:33 <wilcal> Yep
20:06:33 <papoteur> DavidWHodgins: yes, but not yet with reading of realease names. The user should put the names.
20:06:34 <MrsB> Is there anything else else?
20:06:59 <DavidWHodgins> What about getting people in to the qa ldap group so they show up in http/people.mageia.org/g/mga-qa.html
20:07:06 <david_david> MrsB: nop :p
20:07:16 <DavidWHodgins> Oops again http//people.mageia.org/g/mga-qa.html
20:07:32 <akien> http://people.mageia.org/g/mga-qa.html :-)
20:07:33 <[mbot> [ people.mageia.org: g/mga-qa ]
20:07:37 <MrsB> yeah, we need to get those sorted out. Colin has been a bit busy with doing updates lately though
20:08:23 <MrsB> I'd like the mga-qa to have an @mageia.org email alias for people and the iso testers one to be emailable as a group
20:09:18 <DavidWHodgins> Ok. That's all from me.
20:09:23 <MrsB> Thanks Dave
20:09:26 <MrsB> T - 5 then
