I am happy to help / review if/as needed/desired :) 19:15:26 <ana> nthykier: deal! 19:17:08 <nthykier> jcristau had an action item on an email about a sprint - as I recall that already happened, right? 19:17:27 <nthykier> (from http://meetbot.debian.net/debian-release/2016/debian-release.2016-06-01-19.00.html) 19:17:31 <pochu> I think so 19:17:45 <adsb> https://lists.debian.org/debian-sprints/2016/06/msg00000.html 19:18:01 <nthykier> Ah yes 19:18:08 <adsb> assuming the suncamp sprint 19:18:10 <pochu> quick adsb is quick 19:18:21 <nthykier> #info jcristau sent out the sprint report (https://lists.debian.org/debian-sprints/2016/06/msg00000.html) 19:18:39 <nthykier> good - I think we got everything covered in this topic. 19:19:01 <nthykier> any thing I missed? 19:19:55 <nthykier> If not, then I will move on. 19:19:58 <pochu> that's all :) 19:20:08 <nthykier> #topic Schedule arch health check 19:20:17 <nthykier> #undo 19:20:17 <MeetBot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Topic object at 0x13c8450> 19:20:35 <nthykier> sorry, jmw put that there - lets punt it till later in case he has time to show up 19:20:42 <nthykier> #topic Transitions 19:21:06 <pochu> that's for me I guess :) 19:21:10 <nthykier> Yupe :) 19:21:21 <pochu> gnat6 is stagnant - I need to send a ping 19:21:34 <pochu> perl 5.24 is planned - only one blocker atm 19:21:43 <nthykier> #action pochu to send a ping on gnat6 transition 19:21:57 <nthykier> #info Up coming Perl5.24 transition 19:22:00 <nthykier> Cool :) 19:22:01 <pochu> jasper-rm and openjpeg-rm are almost complete - only one blocker for each one and they should happen for stretch 19:22:11 <pochu> too less security-sensitive packages in stretch :) 19:22:14 <nthykier> Excellent 19:22:17 <pochu> s/too/two/ 19:22:37 <pochu> we have four llvm versions in testing atm - plan is to get that reduced 19:22:54 <nthykier> 3.9, right? 19:23:02 <pochu> we need to get llvm-toolchain-3.8 built on every release arch, which is WIP 19:23:23 <pochu> we have 3.5 through 3.8, and the maintainers want to make 3.8 the default 19:23:38 <nthykier> ah, misremembered then :) 19:24:10 <nthykier> does it seem doable within the time limit? 19:24:13 <pochu> we have ghc still using 3.5, and ghc 8 in experimental uses 3.7 - it's not clear if we'll have ghc 8 for Stretch though, but in any case it's still unclear if we could have it using llvm 3.8 19:24:52 <pochu> it's doable to get the list reduced. it's unclear / unlikely to get it down to one version though 19:25:00 <pochu> but we'll see 19:25:34 <pochu> there are plans to switch to GCC 6, icu 57 and boost 1.60 or 1.61 as well - possibly at the same time - still need to hear more about that 19:26:12 <pochu> and that's probably all the relevant stuff I can think of right now :) 19:26:17 <nthykier> GCC-6.3 is indeed expected as default for Stretch - have you heard any news on that? 19:27:16 <pochu> plan for GCC is early August AFAIK 19:27:30 <nthykier> So "any moment now"? 19:27:50 <pochu> and possibly do icu (which should be fine) and boost (no idea about this) together with it - but I haven't heard much 19:27:54 <pochu> yeah 19:28:08 <nthykier> ok 19:28:23 <pochu> doko: around, by any chance? 19:29:05 <nthykier> #info GCC-6 transition expected in early August. Possibly including icu and boost at the same time (if managable) 19:30:45 <nthykier> Also. Once again, great work on the transitions :) 19:30:52 <pochu> :) 19:31:47 <nthykier> mmm, btw, do you plan on doing perl5.24 after GCC-6 or ...? 19:32:57 <pochu> no plan atm, but possibly yes 19:33:00 <nthykier> ok 19:33:22 <nthykier> Guess still no jmw? 19:34:49 <aurel32> as already said on this channel i would also plan to do a glibc 2.24 transition during august, if possible 19:34:59 <nthykier> aurel32: ah good point! 19:35:22 <nthykier> #info Pending glibc 2.24 transition 19:35:36 <pochu> aurel32: oh right. sure thing 19:36:02 <nthykier> looks like we have plenty left on the transition plate before the freeze :) 19:36:39 <pochu> as long as it's before and not after ;) 19:37:09 <nthykier> Ok, I think we will move on to AOB, if there (really) are no more items for transitions :) 19:37:20 <pochu> nthykier: can you give an update on secure boot? 19:37:27 <nthykier> pochu: sure 19:37:33 <nthykier> #topic Secure Boot 19:37:39 <nthykier> So lets make that Secure Boot 19:38:16 <nthykier> As mentioned during the meeting at DebConf, we are considering Secure Boot a release blocker for Stretch 19:38:47 <nthykier> I have not followed the progress as close as I would like 19:39:26 <nthykier> Most of the technical items are filed as bugs blocking #820036 19:40:49 <nthykier> Beyond that we are missing an EV cert (and a possibly a key/certificate for the shim) 19:42:02 <nthykier> During debconf we agreed that Mithrandir would create and shard a private key for that. I suspect that is done; at least I am told we are waiting for SPI on the EV cert now 19:42:31 <nthykier> But otherwise, I suspect most of the tasks have not moved considerably since debconf 19:42:42 <aurel32> yes, the EV certificate has been asked by Mithrandir 19:42:45 <nthykier> (at least to my knowledge and limited research) 19:42:58 <aurel32> and since then is blocked on SPI having a phone number 19:43:12 <nthykier> #info EV certificate is currently blocked on SPI having a phone number 19:43:13 <aurel32> jcristau has been trying to get one from SPI 19:43:21 <nthykier> ooh 19:44:09 <nthykier> #action jcristau working on resolving the missing phone number for SPI 19:44:15 <nthykier> aurel32: Thanks! :) 19:45:12 <aurel32> well not sure the action is on jcristau, but he is the one regularly pinging the issue 19:45:21 <nthykier> #undo 19:45:21 <MeetBot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Action object at 0xef1890> 19:45:42 <nthykier> #info jcristau is currently following up on the lacking SPI phone number 19:45:51 <nthykier> aurel32: thanks for the correction :) 19:46:41 <nthykier> aurel32: do you know if the status of that is tracked somewhere in public (as opposed to people's inbox) 19:47:16 <aurel32> no it's not 19:47:27 <nthykier> ok, thanks 19:48:26 <nthykier> If there are no questions, then I guess I will move to AOB then :) 19:48:48 <pochu> thanks nthykier and aurel32 for the update 19:49:15 <nthykier> :) 19:49:20 <nthykier> #topic AOB 19:49:40 <nthykier> Any items for AOB? 19:49:47 <adsb> not from me 19:49:50 <pochu> I already asked mine :) 19:50:02 <nthykier> Excellent :) 19:50:16 <nthykier> I got jmw's "Schedule arch health check". 19:50:57 <nthykier> I think it sounds like a good idea, so I intend to follow up with jmw and hear what exactly he had in mind 19:51:12 <nthykier> (hopefully getting the porter rollcall out of the way first) 19:51:34 <pochu> ack 19:51:46 <nthykier> #action nthykier to follow up with jmw on scheduling an arch health check 19:51:53 <pochu> oh btw how's mips64el? I read build-essential already migrated. can we drop it from FUCKED_ARCHES now? 19:52:40 <nthykier> #info build-essential is available on mips64el now 19:52:50 <nthykier> pochu: I heard that as well 19:53:10 <nthykier> Not sure if it is ready to be removed from FUCKED_ARCHES yet. It still has 1000 broken packages 19:53:28 <aurel32> there are still plenty of packages to get migrated 19:53:29 <nthykier> and I suspect a lot of items blocked from migration 19:53:50 <aurel32> i don't know how smart is britney, but it looks like we might have to break dependency loops 19:53:51 <nthykier> erh, actually, I think you want "BREAK_ARCHES" 19:53:56 <pochu> but wouldn't BREAK_ARCHES be enough? 19:53:59 <aurel32> around libsoup2.4 for example 19:54:13 <nthykier> pochu: generally you want to get out of BREAK_ARCHES first 19:54:14 <pochu> I want cruft to get removed :) 19:55:43 <nthykier> aurel32: Feel free to ask for hints if it would help 19:56:38 <nthykier> ok, we are running low on time, so I would like to move on (assuming there is nothing more for mips64el) 19:57:01 <pochu> I'm fine with leaving it in FUCKED_ARCHES for a while longer 19:57:05 <pochu> let's move on 19:57:13 <nthykier> #topic Next meeting 19:57:38 <aurel32> ok, i'll ask after the meeting, but i don't understand everything in the excuses output 19:57:56 <pochu> nthykier: fourth thursday of august, same time? 19:58:12 <nthykier> According to the fantastic release calander, the next meeting is the 24th of August at 19:00 UTC 19:58:15 <pochu> sorry wednesday 19:58:26 <nthykier> (https://release.debian.org/release-calendar.ics) 19:59:01 <nthykier> Any desire to change that date/time? 19:59:50 <nthykier> going twice...? 20:00:03 <nthykier> #info Next meeting: 24th of August, 19:00 UTC (https://release.debian.org/release-calendar.ics) 20:00:06 <nthykier> #endmeeting
