From FedoraProject
Summary
Present from FESCo: thl, warren, ensc, thomasvs, scop, skvidal
Topics:
- Mass rebuild of Extras for FC5
- See http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/FC5Status
- most things rebuilt
- if some of your packages do not build, and you won't fix them, you can announce them as orphans
- the rest: leave the remaining things as they are and create bug reports for the rest
- bug reports should be created by maintainers (who have time until next Thursday to do so)
- ensc will see if he can recover his 2002 massmailer script for this purpose
- scop to ask mschwendt to send a mail about all currently missing deps using repoclosure
- branching of CVS for FC5
- jeremy plans on doing this on Monday, list will be warned, repo will be locked. Jeremy will deal with the floodgates reliably and responsibly as decided by consensus.
- orphaned packages might get their "devel" branches removed from CVS completely, but this will be discussed after FC5 is out
- Kernel module standardization
- xen changes were fine
- buildsys issues still unclear
- deferred to next week
- Weekly sponsorship nomination
- Toshio Kuratomi: accepted
- Free discussion
- scop asks for fedora-usermgmt noise stoppage, agreed upon but countered with request for solution
