29OCT15

• Review priority list
• Taskotron overview & what you need from releng
  • current in flight release is a big change so wait for this to be live before we look at using it
  • should be in production before F24 freeze
• Get manual bits out of the compose process (primarily around tickets)
  • App tracks status of blocker bugs - it can say 'these are the updates that need to be pulled in'
  • Tim wrote part of a tool that will download all koji builds that are currently not stable and would fix blockers
  • Request filing is part of the blocker bugs app; the rest is a script that Tim has locally
• Custom cloud images created in taskotron
  • just a conversation with the team about whether or not they should be stored centrally for any purpose
• RHEL process checks
  • QE is also talking about this and is looking into reworking part of this flow / tools but there is a general goal to align with RHEL's TPS a bit better
  • rpmgrill task is in progress - tool for inspecting builds (logs, etc from koji)
• duplication of tools
  • depcheck for instance - we have this in QE & Releng but they do slightly different things
