Hello, - tentacle release timeframe - people want EC rework ("fast EC") sooner than next year - at least RGW and RBD have features that are already merged and would benefit from an earlier release - distro alignment remains important to users even if they are using download.ceph.com packages because having reasonably recent client side packages (ceph-common, librbd, librados) there "by default" is convenient - proposal: cut tentacle when EC rework is ready and plan to freeze the next release ("U") in January 2026 for an April release - do we need/want a one-time extension of N-2 upgrade commitment to N-3 (reef -> squid -> tentacle -> U) to compensate for the shorter time frame? - no objections so far, to be brought up again with more attendance - smithi testnode replacement - AMD-based blade servers - should be better in every way and there would be significantly more (+80%) of them! - David to send the full spec to the sepia list - David is looking to execute the order very soon, if there are any concerns please speak up this week - bumping clang 14 -> 19 for "make check" and requiring clang 16 at the same time - https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/61740 - this should be all that is needed to build on noble too, at least as far as C/C++ bits go - irvingi01 was marked offline and would be reimaged back to jammy - it shouldn't have been released to the pool, it was an accident - future work to enable building on a new distro would be done under a custom non-required check as to not affect production checks Thanks, Ilya _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list -- dev@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to dev-leave@xxxxxxx
