Agenda 🔼

Old Business 🔼

Actions 🔼

New Business 🔼

gnu_srs 🔼

  • Introduce severities for bugs as Debian: critical, serious, important, normal, minor, wishlist (KatolaZ) is there a specific reason to mirror the exact classification chosen at Debian? I would be content to have reportbug mirror the current scheme (critical, grave, normal,
  • Base outdated packages on sources instead of binaries.
  • Automatically file bugs with serverity: serious for architectures which FTBFS.
  • Can somebody apply patches and build policykit-1 for ascii-proposed (or teach me how to do that)

Jaromil 🔼

  • With Manuela we made a first step for the financial report of 2017. looks very good, will share details, its still not complete and we may choose to refund more stuff.
  • paid the two OVH server for a whole year long, dismissed old one.
  • need to move files.devuan.org to our new home on OVH, ready as files.ganeti1.devuan.org
  • (Evilham) Ask people at ungleich if they would be willing to host a files mirror if we admin it :).
  • access to talk.devuan.org (Daniel has it! great!!) how is going? can we?
  • (Evilham) sent the pub key. lets wait Daniel lands into holidays nicely and ask for help :^)
  • need to work on the developers documentation, will integrate DECODE's doc work

KatolaZ 🔼

  • sorry, will not be able to attend (travelling)
  • worked a bit on the ASCII sprint
  • worked on a simple way to inject/remove files into/from packages. Code included in d1h (d1h inject). Still to be completed, but it works (it was used to rebrand wdm, available in ascii-proposed) and will allow to automatise updates easily. Will be able to add/remove files from the package during build (it uses overridedhinstall to cp/rm stuff), and uses a devuan folder under debian/, merged from an orphaned branch, so it will not need to fiddle with dquilt patches ;-) Will document it more accurately.
  • N.B.: This is much more simple and rudimental than what Evilham has in mind, and might not be sufficient for all the cases. Let's see if we need more than this...
  • repackaged a few things for ascii (network-manager, zfs, apulse, surf2, etc.)
  • with parazyd, implemented the Debian Policy regarding package version
  1. The detection of outdated packages is now much more
  • almost ready to deploy minimal-live, using a blend with the new live-sdk. A few tweaks are still needed.
  • will try to work on reportbug, to solve the outstanding smtp_host problem before we put ASCII beta out (hopefully!)
  • Come on: let's put ASCII out! ;-)

golinux 🔼

dimitsos 🔼

  • Exe GNU/Linux's page is back, and with a new release. I believe the link on the Devuan page should be changed back.
  • Is it possible to include KDE in the beta iso's tasksel? I could do some testing, but probably not before mid-January.
  • (KatolaZ) I think that we should include in tasksel only stuff that works. KDE5 is known to have some problems with logout/change user/suspend etc...
    • (dimitsos) I am aware of these issues, but imho that's the point of a beta iso, to test stuff that doesn't work yet. But if you think that this is for alpha releases only, fair enough.

parazyd 🔼

  • no time to attend video this week
  • if possible, can someone look into setting up IPv6 for pkgmaster and other infra that offers public access?

fsmithred 🔼

  • Need to build latest refractainstaller-base. Tried and failed. I assume that I'm doing something wrong.
  • Almost ready to build desktop-base and window theme. Have a couple

blinkdog 🔼

Actions 🔼

  • (Evilham) Ask people at ungleich if they would be willing to host a files mirror if we admin it :).
  • (Evilham) Prepare postgresql patch (see sprint pad)
  • (Evilham) Deactivate piwik on website + refactor sources/mirrors
  • (Jaromil) need to work on the developers documentation, will integrate DECODE's doc work
  • (Jaromil + Parazyd) add blinkdog on the rishi machine and setup a debian-cd build env
  • (Jaromil + anyone else who knows) enable builds for refractainstaller-base (attempts ongoing) plus review where this is configured and make a plan to make this public (Katolaz?)
  • (blinkdog) Put a note on the wiki landing page about getting wiki editing permissions
