Meeting summary
- Apologies/Admin (jmw, 19:00:54)
- Transitions (jmw, 19:03:06)

time. (nthykier,
19:04:10)

- https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/reproducible-builds/Week-of-Mon-20151102/003828.html
(jmw,
19:06:15)
- Multi-arch would mean rebuilding all
architectures (jmw,
19:08:35)
- arch:all packages could not be rebuilt
(jmw,
19:09:01)
- Build-Depends loops would need sorting out by
hand (jmw,
19:12:25)
- AGREED: Right now, a
full rebuild would not be feasible (jmw,
19:17:08)
- AGREED: We should
await developments in dak so we know what support will be like in
Stretch (jmw,
19:18:00)
- ACTION: nthykier to
voice concerns to the reproducible team (nthykier,
19:18:41)
- mips64el (jmw, 19:19:21)
- mips64el is available in sid, and could join
testing (jmw,
19:23:51)
- https://wiki.debian.org/ArchiveQualification/mips64el
is helpful perhaps? (jmw,
19:24:24)
- imported packages should be rebuilt
first (jmw,
19:25:43)
- ACTION: pochu contact
the mips64el ports and ask about a) plans b) whether they want to
join Stretch (jmw,
19:27:47)
- ACTION: pochu add
mips64el to arch_qualify.html (jmw,
19:29:10)
- Linux version in Stretch (jmw, 19:29:52)
- AGREED: We want Linux
4.10 in Stretch if possible to reduce the maintenance burden in
(old)stable (jmw,
19:44:00)
- AGREED: Stretch
freeze will be delayed by two calendar months (jmw,
19:48:06)
- AGREED: Linux 4.10
will get an automatic freeze exception if it doesn't make the deep
freeze (jmw,
19:48:35)
- For the avoidance of doubt, this policy applies
only to linux (jmw,
19:49:10)
- AGREED: Linux
maintainers are encouraged to upload release candidates of 4.10 in
sid to shake out bugs earlier (jmw,
19:51:03)
- MySQL variants in Stretch (jmw, 19:52:21)
- Recent DSAs of MySQL and MariaDB went much
better, and there are no major concerns right now (jmw,
19:58:49)
- Security team requirements have been published
(<20160129193951.GA23052@pisco.westfalen.local>) (jmw,
20:00:19)
- Switching dependencies to MariaDB early reduces
the risk of needing to do it in a hurry later (jmw,
20:05:02)
- AGREED: MySQL
dependencies should be transitioned to MariaDB (jmw,
20:09:35)
- MySQL could still be shipped in Stretch if
there are no objections from the security team, but it's unlikely
that dependencies would be switched back (jmw,
20:10:18)
- ACTION: jmw write to
pkg-mysql-maint to get a plan formed (jmw,
20:10:27)
- d-d-a after meetings? (jmw, 20:11:33)
- AGREED: d-d-a mails
to be reserved for announcements (jmw,
20:16:03)
- Next meeting (jmw, 20:16:09)
