#debian-release Meeting

Meeting summary

1. 1. maintainer-led transitions seem to be working ok for the time being (jmw, 19:04:55)
   2. the 47% completion label on the transition tracker is actually not very much use (jmw, 19:09:42)
   3. rc bugs should no longer affect testing, so we will leave those out of the equation now (jmw, 19:15:25)
   4. rebuilding the archive is not very practical (jmw, 19:20:18)
   5. it's been long enough that any serious breakage should have become apparent by now (jmw, 19:20:37)
   6. Security team working on a "Security Transparancy" document (nthykier, 19:35:42)
   7. http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-mysql-maint/2016-January/008536.html (rbasak, 19:41:48)
   8. the security team is working on a policy for security disclosure requirements, but it's not yet clear quite what shape that will take (jmw, 19:52:31)
   9. ryeng is liaising with oracle over the disclosure requirements (jmw, 19:53:29)
   10. Oracle believes they are unlikely to hit the mark unless they got a full requirement list (nthykier, 20:06:49)
   11. AGREED: It is not reasonable for Oracle to implement a moving set of requirements at short notice. We will await a more concrete set of guidelines to negotiate with. (nthykier, 20:08:07)
   12. ACTION: jmw will mail the security team to see how things are going with DSAs (jmw, 20:18:13)
   13. https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/MySQL/virtual-mysql-server (otto_, 20:23:32)
   14. it may be wise to start migration towards mariadb dependencies sooner rather than later, but ship mysql as well if security concerns are resolved (jmw, 21:13:09)
   15. a decision cannot be taken right now (jmw, 21:13:24)
   16. ACTION: jmw will mail release team and include pkg-mysql-maint about moving to mariadb dependencies (jmw, 21:13:49)
   17. Next meeting: 24th February 2016 (jmw, 21:20:16)
