19:02:59 <wilcal> Welcome to this weeks QA meeting
19:03:23 <wilcal> #topic Who's new?
19:03:46 <wilcal> ANyone new here today
19:04:06 <wilcal> Should be a short meeting today
19:04:29 <wilcal> #topic Mageia 8 using and testing
19:04:38 <wilcal> Really just how are things going
19:04:48 <wilcal> Any specific trouble spots
19:05:07 <MageiaTJ> Looking good here.
19:05:10 <tarazed> Just rolling along
19:05:19 <wilcal> That's a good thing
19:05:27 <wilcal> I see a new kernel in there
19:05:43 <tarazed> Just tried that on one machine.
19:05:48 <wilcal> I'm shortly on an airplane and won't be back till monday late
19:06:04 <tarazed> I have had trouble with qarepo - odd things happening
19:06:10 <wilcal> So i don't know if I will be able to test that
19:06:27 <MageiaTJ> glibc and mesa updates, too.
19:06:35 <wilcal> Todays update, about 80 packages, went through here just fine
19:06:36 <tarazed> Some of it may be server trouble - had to change mirror
19:06:56 <wilcal> Scares me when there are so many updates
19:06:58 <MageiaTJ> That will mess it up, for sure.
19:07:23 <tarazed> Many of them are a bit difficult, the ones that are left
19:07:29 <wilcal> non-require a reboot but there was some QT stuff in there and my plasma DE is still working after a reboot after the update
19:07:33 <MageiaTJ> Another Thunderbird, too.
19:08:32 <tarazed> We are sill thin on the ground
19:09:11 <wilcal> Is there any hope for the bugs that have been sitting there for over 50-days
19:09:40 <wilcal> Hi Beq
19:09:43 <tarazed> Probably not with just us few
19:10:22 <Bequimao> Hi all!
19:10:25 <Luigi12_> we can't let things sit forever, unless there's a known issue or concern, some of those need to be passed on
19:10:28 <MageiaTJ> All bug 25716 has is a missing signatures problem.
19:10:30 <[mbot> Bug: ['90secondportraits, duckmarines, and iyfct do not start, they require love 0.10 API', 'ASSIGNED', 'QA Team'] https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25716
19:10:49 <Luigi12_> obviously the ones waiting on packager feedback are a different story
19:11:45 <wilcal> Hi Luigi
19:11:48 <Luigi12> yo
19:11:55 <wilcal> Any comments on the outstanding bugs
19:12:22 <Luigi12> nothing specific comes to mind
19:12:26 <Luigi12> anyone have any questions?
19:12:31 <wilcal> 80 updates went through here today without a problem
19:12:51 <Luigi12> yep, we had a backlog of validated updates, tmb put in hours and cleared them
19:12:54 <wilcal> Thank You sir. M8 is turning out to be exceedinly boring
19:13:02 <Luigi12> which reminds me, we need more QA involvement in getting advisories uploaded to SVN
19:13:11 <Luigi12> I don't know when/if Auroud is coming back from vacation.
19:13:35 <Luigi12> yeah I think Mageia 8 turned out to be a pretty good release
19:13:46 <Luigi12> thank the release manager for that (also tmb)
19:14:04 <wilcal> Boring releases are good releases
19:14:35 <wilcal> M8 repo remains very active. I have not looked at anything there
19:14:38 <tarazed> Regarding advisories - meant to be simple but Dave had little luck teaching me.
19:14:55 <wilcal> M7 also remains comatose and completely EOL
19:15:07 <Luigi12> yeah it's ancient history now
19:15:22 <wilcal> All this as MIcrosoft is taking it in the neck for Win11
19:15:28 <Luigi12> apparently some discussions about Mageia 9 have started, but I'm a month or more behind on the dev ml
19:16:07 <Luigi12> I saw an interesting thing in the Fedora 35 beta announcement yesterday, their cloud images are "hybrid" and can boot as legacy or UEFI
19:16:22 <Luigi12> I wonder if you can make systems work like that in general
19:16:29 <wilcal> FWIW my two active Rasberry Pi's also remain exceedily stable
19:17:35 <wilcal> I continue to daily, in scrip files backup my M8 critical files to my AWS account. Works very nicely
19:18:12 <wilcal> very expensive. Costs me about 19-cents/mo
19:18:52 <wilcal> THere's about 10GB of files to be rsynced to AWS, about 200MB every day
19:20:02 <wilcal> Lets move to
19:20:03 <wilcal> #topic Anything else?
19:20:24 <wilcal> anytANything else today?
19:20:29 <wilcal> I'm done
19:20:58 <MageiaTJ> I went to a Poll Site Manager school Tuesday. I'll be running a polling place in the November election.
19:21:40 <MageiaTJ> They use a specially-programmed iPad to look up registrations.
19:21:53 <wilcal> Interesting
19:21:58 <MageiaTJ> It works, but I'd rather be using Mageia.
19:22:09 <MageiaTJ> ;)
19:22:11 <wilcal> towards the end of my career I worked on a Voting machine project
19:22:50 <wilcal> core OS was Ta TA Mandrake? 2005ish time frame
19:23:20 <MageiaTJ> Oops. Customer.
19:23:49 <wilcal> Also FWIW I fine the whole Windoes Update process scary
19:23:53 <wilcal> I find
19:24:22 <wilcal> I have one Windows machine here I'd like to keep that OS working on it
19:24:51 <wilcal> Anything else
19:25:12 <wilcal> Nothing
