It seems ok. 17:04:03 <notting> kkofler was +1 in the ticket 17:04:07 <notting> iirc 17:04:13 <jds2001> yep 17:04:30 <jds2001> #agreed tbzatek provenpackager is approved 17:04:40 <jds2001> oops, a little ordering issue 17:04:50 <jds2001> #topic provenpackager request - bruno 17:05:19 <jds2001> so there were objections to this, and I agree with them 17:05:21 <nirik> I would say he should do more work and maintain more packages and come back in a while. 17:05:32 <jds2001> he's not met the 'proven' part 17:05:36 <nirik> he's a great guy and has been very good maintaining the games spin. 17:05:38 <notting> i see no reason to override the opinions of his sponsor, for example. so -1. 17:05:39 <jds2001> yeah 17:05:45 <nirik> but only has one package currently. 17:05:50 <brunowolff> Two 17:06:20 <nirik> oh, sorry. ;) Hi brunowolff. 17:06:46 <brunowolff> I just picked up glest/glest-data last week when it was orphaned. 17:06:51 <nirik> brunowolff: would you be willing to do some more packages and come back to us in a month or so? 17:07:03 <jds2001> but as with notting, I see no reason to override his sponsor on this. 17:07:16 <brunowolff> But I am not necesarily disagreeing with the proven part not being met. 17:08:36 <brunowolff> I am not so much looking to become the maintainer of more packages as much as to be able to simple rebuilds to things on the games 17:09:00 <brunowolff> spin. Their are other ways (like asking others for help) to get that done. 17:09:48 <brunowolff> Continuing doing that for for longer isn't a big deal. 17:10:00 <jds2001> OK, good. 17:10:02 <nirik> yeah, but sometimes those simple rebuilds are not so simple. ;) Of course sometimes they are. 17:10:17 <brunowolff> That's what make scratch-build is for. 17:10:34 <brunowolff> I can still learn a lot more. 17:10:39 <sharkcz> or local mock build 17:10:52 <jds2001> sharkcz: make mockbuild :) 17:11:03 <jds2001> just in case you didn't know about it :) 17:11:46 <sharkcz> jds2001: I know :) but it deletes the chroot at the end so I rather do a manual mock build 17:12:30 <jds2001> anyhow, shall we move on? 17:13:14 <sharkcz> yes, I agree with the rest of fesco, -1 for now 17:13:32 <jds2001> #agreed brunowolff provenpackager is declined for now, please come back later with more experience 17:13:52 <jds2001> #topic translations proposal 17:13:59 <jds2001> .fesco 243 17:14:01 <zodbot> jds2001: #243 (New entry of 'Build packages for which Fedora is upstream for all language translators' review & correction' for F12 schedule) - FESCo - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/243 17:14:28 <jds2001> so I'm not sure what the scope of this is supposed to be anymore :) 17:14:38 <skvidal> crap 17:14:47 <skvidal> sorry - I got distracted from the meeting 17:14:54 <jds2001> skvidal: np 17:15:06 <jds2001> skvidal: you wanted to say something? 17:15:10 <skvidal> no 17:15:12 <skvidal> it's fine 17:15:18 <jds2001> k 17:15:22 <skvidal> none of the items on the agenda today worried me 17:15:29 <skvidal> for the most part they look procedural 17:15:38 <jds2001> except this one :) 17:15:47 <jds2001> well i guess it still is/ 17:15:55 <skvidal> anyway - go on 17:16:08 <jds2001> but anyhow, do we know what the scope of this proposal is precisely? 17:16:23 <jds2001> I thought it was "packages for which we are upstream and have translations" 17:16:41 <jds2001> but it seems to have gotten confused with "packages that have translations" 17:16:56 <skvidal> if it is the former then +1 17:17:00 <skvidal> if it is the latter then -1 17:17:11 * notting agrees with skvidal on both counts 17:17:21 * sharkcz too :-) 17:17:24 * jds2001 too 17:17:28 * nirik nods. 17:17:38 <nirik> by 'we are upstream' you mean 'uses fedora tranisfex' ? 17:17:49 <jds2001> good question. 17:17:57 <jds2001> i guess so? :) 17:18:13 <skvidal> if they aren't using transifex how in the hell are we going to check this? 17:18:18 <jds2001> but transifex commits to upstream repos 17:18:35 <jds2001> so that means upstream has to do a release with the new translations, no? 17:18:41 <nirik> yeah... 17:19:09 <skvidal> so I think that means 17:19:12 <skvidal> WE are upstream 17:19:16 <skvidal> ie: FEDORA 17:19:21 <jds2001> right 17:19:27 <skvidal> not transifex 17:19:29 <skvidal> fedora 17:19:41 <nirik> huh? 17:19:56 <nirik> to put it another way: what packages does this effect? how could I get a list? 17:20:05 * skvidal has no idea on that one 17:20:29 <nirik> anything at https://translate.fedoraproject.org/projects/ ? 17:21:05 <jds2001> well that cant be, since that would force upstream to release things (if we're not upstream) 17:21:24 <jds2001> and we cant force upstream to do anything :) 17:22:20 <jds2001> so NEEDINFO? 17:22:27 * nirik isn't sure what it means for us to be "upstream". 17:22:40 <nirik> I can try and add my questions to the ticket... sorry for not doing so eariler. 17:22:46 <skvidal> needinfo- ask what the upstream bit means 17:23:41 <jds2001> #agreed additional infromation is required (what does 'upstream' mean) before this proposal can be considered. 17:24:05 <jds2001> #topic libvdpau 17:24:32 <jds2001> any updates? j-rod's not here, so I assume no 17:24:36 <jds2001> unless drago01 has something 17:24:46 <jds2001> .fesco 238 17:24:47 <zodbot> jds2001: #238 (Can libvdpau go in Fedora?) - FESCo - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/238 17:24:49 <jds2001> btw 17:25:03 <jds2001> crickets? 17:25:29 <jds2001> #agreed libvdpau is deferred again, waiting for updates from prior meetings 17:25:35 <jds2001> #topic open floor 17:25:40 <jds2001> anything else? 17:26:12 <nirik> so dgilmore sent corrections to that docuement, do we want to publish it soon? 17:26:15 <drago01> jds2001: well seems that nouveau has work in progress but no date on when it will arrive (need to RE the video hw) and there is a seperate work on providing a shader based implementation 17:26:31 <drago01> where the later is not useable due to patents 17:26:56 <drago01> as for intel I could not find anything besides that they want to decide on an api but still havn't yet 17:27:10 <jds2001> nirik: yeah, i looked over it. 17:27:29 <jds2001> there's a few things that have been improved since then, I think we should update them 17:27:38 <jds2001> the CVS commit issue, for example. 17:27:56 <drago01> oh deferred seems like I am too late 17:27:56 <drago01> well 17:28:18 <jds2001> drago01: we can undefer if there's a policy statement forthcoming :) 17:28:49 <drago01> jds2001: no does not matter much .. and j-rod is not here so -> next week 17:28:50 <nirik> jds2001: cool. Can you do that and resend? or we could ask dgilmore to i guess. ;) 17:29:25 <jds2001> nirik: yeah, I'll attack that this weekend. Meant to do it last week, but I suck. 17:30:08 <jds2001> anything else? 17:30:42 * nirik has nothing 17:31:12 * jds2001 ends the meeting in 30 17:31:39 <jds2001> im giving you 90 minutes of your life back :) 17:31:46 <jds2001> #endmeeting -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
