Dare not look now. 20:05:37 <Luigi12> many of them have been delayed several months because of how little help packagers have provided on security updates 20:05:42 <Luigi12> thanks of course to those who have helped 20:05:43 <kekePower> rindolf: added two keys :-) 20:06:01 <rindolf> kekePower: nice 20:06:03 <wilcal> Do they all disapper automatically on Jan 1 20:06:16 <DavidWHodgins> No 20:06:17 <Luigi12> no 20:06:36 <DavidWHodgins> If we are a few days late getting them out, then we are late. They still go out 20:06:44 <Luigi12> yep, as we've done in the past 20:06:55 <wilcal> So leave this issue open till next QA meeting? 20:07:02 <DavidWHodgins> The qa team has to be flexible 20:07:08 <lewyssmith> Luigi12: Welcome; long time no see here. 20:07:16 <DavidWHodgins> Hopefully we can finish them all before then 20:07:21 <Luigi12> there seem to be more users than usual not upgraded to the latest release 20:07:25 <Luigi12> myself included 20:07:26 <wilcal> Are all of these really that important 20:07:36 <Luigi12> no, I'll address that with a mail to the list 20:07:40 <DavidWHodgins> I'll be doing nothing but testing for the next few days 20:07:42 <Luigi12> start by focusing on the obviously important ones 20:07:47 <wilcal> Thank you Luigi 20:07:49 <Luigi12> I'll try to give some feedback on priorities 20:07:57 <wilcal> That will really help 20:08:14 <stratocaster7> Thunderbird is on the way - it is just taking a long time to build. 20:08:20 <wilcal> IMO the way you fix some of this is move to M6 20:08:28 <DavidWHodgins> Start with the most commonly used packages. 20:08:43 <Luigi12> not everyone can move to mga6, for various reasons 20:09:10 <wilcal> 1st of the year we have to move on to M7 or M6.1 20:09:22 <wilcal> takes limited resources 20:09:55 <DavidWHodgins> 6.1 can't start until the kernel updates are ready 20:09:55 <wilcal> Anyway I'll work what I can an be nice till next week 20:10:45 <wilcal> Lets move to a hot subject with tmb here 20:10:50 <wilcal> #topic kernel 20:11:03 <wilcal> lots of discussion on the mailing list on this 20:11:05 <Luigi12> sounds like the 4.14 isn't fully baked yet 20:11:06 <wilcal> where do we stand 20:11:32 <DavidWHodgins> I was about to validate the kernel updates when Brian found a problem 20:11:41 <wilcal> Kernel panic 20:11:48 <tmb> for 4.14 series I wait for the tests by Brian 20:11:50 <Luigi12> joeghi has a problem with 4.14 too, just hasn't reported it on the Bug 20:11:52 <wilcal> Kudos to Brian 20:12:10 <wilcal> I'm not having any problems with it 20:12:18 <DavidWHodgins> I'd already copied in the whiteboard and keyword entries, before noticing his comment. Forgot to clear them before adding my comment, so tmb had to clear them 20:12:30 <tjandrews> Yeah, better to find problems BEFORE we release. 20:12:47 <Luigi12> yeah, probably don't need to rush it 20:12:49 <tmb> Well, if it's not reported it does not exist... 20:12:54 <wilcal> Older hardware newer hardware? 20:12:58 <lewyssmith> It was an impressive QA excercise, very rapidly done. 20:12:59 <Luigi12> tmb: true 20:13:22 <wilcal> Just after Christmas the whole crew launched into kernel testing 20:13:35 <wilcal> Then the panic got reported 20:13:38 <Luigi12> joeghi said BFQ is messed up in 4.14 20:13:56 <lewyssmith> wilcal: As you said - that was good work. 20:14:16 <DavidWHodgins> I normally use the deadline scheduler 20:14:48 <wilcal> So we await a whole new set of rpm's? 20:14:55 <Luigi12> which scheduler do our kernels use by default? 20:15:06 <DavidWHodgins> Yes, once Brian confirms the new ones fix the problem 20:15:21 <wilcal> By this weekend? 20:15:51 <DavidWHodgins> Hopefully, but as always with testing, the deadline is "when it's ready". 20:16:15 <wilcal> Monday would be a bad day :-9 20:16:25 <Luigi12> nobody works on Monday, it'd be a great day 20:16:35 <Luigi12> well I guess some people work, but :P 20:16:36 <kekePower> with hangovers and all 20:16:43 <Luigi12> be responsible :P 20:17:10 <wilcal> Anyway bug identified fix in process awaiting new rpms 20:17:10 <Luigi12> I'll be running a 5K that morning, and it'll be like 16 degrees (F, not C) 20:17:25 <wilcal> Wear your woolies 20:17:33 <DavidWHodgins> Don't remember what the default scheduler is. I remember reading about it some time ago, and for my ssd drives changed it to deadline. 20:18:03 <DavidWHodgins> That's on my day to day usage system. In my test installs, it uses whatever the default is. 20:19:27 <DavidWHodgins> #info Everyone, please do what you can to help clear the large list of updates waiting for testing 20:19:50 <Luigi12> I'd mainly focus on basic functionality testing to make sure there aren't obvious regressions 20:20:09 <DavidWHodgins> Especially for the m5 updates 20:20:12 <Luigi12> yes 20:21:00 <DavidWHodgins> Any questions about any of the specific updates? (Won't go through whole list here). 20:21:54 <DavidWHodgins> #topic Anything else? 20:22:21 <DavidWHodgins> So, does anyone have anything else to discuss? 20:22:34 <wilcal> Not from me 20:22:43 <wilcal> Oh yes 20:22:49 <Luigi12> I should be mostly home through Monday, so I'll be on IRC if anyone needs me 20:22:59 <lewyssmith> Not discuss. Just to wish everyone a good new year. 20:23:06 <Luigi12> seconded 20:23:10 <wilcal> I should be able to put more time in as I've firmed up the logistics of my move at the end of Jan 20:23:11 <DavidWHodgins> :-) 20:23:19 <DavidWHodgins> Good! 20:23:44 <DavidWHodgins> Count down time then 20:23:49 <wilcal> Once we get to the 3rd week of Jan I'm gonna be off line and then be back by hopefully 29 jan 20:23:50 <DavidWHodgins> T - 5 20:23:55 <wilcal> bye all 20:23:57 <DavidWHodgins> 4 20:24:00 <DavidWHodgins> 3 20:24:00 <kekePower> wishing everyone an awesome new year 20:24:02 <DavidWHodgins> 2 20:24:05 <DavidWHodgins> 1 20:24:13 <lewyssmith> Goodbye everyone. 20:24:19 <DavidWHodgins> Thanks for coming everyone.
