Summary

  • bodhi/testing repo/final repo layout – nirik/lmacken
  • the plan is to move on using plague and the extras push scripts for the near future; koji plus bodhi later (hopefully soon; needs koji improvements that need to be written)
  • we move the current repo down one level (hardlinking the files, to make mirrors happy) into a subdirectory "stable" to leave room on the server for other EPEL in the future (that might happen or not).
  • we freeze the current repo and make the testing repo the default target for now and hand-move packages over to the stable repo when needed manually (information flow: via wiki) – e.g. new packages that were in testing for some days as well as important bugfixes (security, hard crashers, ...)
  • finish the wiki docs and remove the warnings by end of may – quaid
  • quaid and Jess_S are working on it; seems to be in the final stages
  • unresolved deps / packages missing in owners.epel.list
  • we should solve the broken deps soon (needed before announcement);
  • nirik will poke maintainers (help from SIG members would likely be appreciated);
  • mmcgrath will try to set up the broken deps checker script somewhere that spmas maintainers and the list in case of broken deps
  • should we try to bug c4chris, so he runs his package status script for epel as well?
  • vacant seat in the steering committee
  • Jeff_S was elected by the Steering Committee members to fill Axel's seat
  • Free discussion around EPEL
  • notting> "do we want a separate excludearch tracker for epel, or piggyback on the fedora one?" -> moved to the list, revisit next week
  • f13> "has there been any progress on the RHX issue?" - quaid is supposed to do some looking into it IIRC
