Summary

  • 00:03 --- | knurd has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting -- repotags/interaction with 3rd party repos -- owner: all


  • I'm not going to write a summary on this, as this is a very controversial and complicated topic. Sorry. Please read the full log.
  • 00:45 --- | mmcgrath has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting -- Investigate single RHEL subscription for EPEL maintainers -- quaid


  • "It would be nice to get some RHEL subscriptions for our EPEL people though I think quaid has quite a journey ahead of him first. It may be easier once red hat can more easily realize the value of EPEL. knurd> | I don't think this is high on out todo list; we'll talk about this next time when quaid is around.


  • 00:49 --- | mmcgrath has changed the topic to: EPEL Meeting -- bodhi/testing repo/final repo layout -- nirik/lmacken


  • we need to look at converting epel to koji; f13> "there are some roadblocks to that.

like koji modifications that would make the binaries used in the buildroots not publically available."

  • some discussions around RH management, using RHEL for Building and not CentOS
  • mbonnet will look into enabling koji to make use of a repo htat's not available to the public, which should make it possible to use koji for EPEL
  • lmacken> "bodhi would work with plague if we could get it filesystem access to the build results."
he'll likely look into this, too, but making bodhi working for F7 is more important atm
