Thanks for fixing it. 17:38:53 <mmaslano> he updated ticket& feature page 17:39:28 <nirik> so, did we have further outstanding questions/issues here? 17:39:29 <mclasen> here is what dcbw said 5 minutes ago: 17:39:31 <mmaslano> also he claims he'll be working on it and it's be ready before beta 17:39:33 <mclasen> dcbw: is this on your radar ? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DNSSEC_on_workstations 17:39:43 <mclasen> mclasen_: sort of, but it's blocking on other people telling me what the bind config needs to be, since I don't know bind 17:40:01 <mmaslano> atkac is also maintainer of bind... 17:40:08 <notting> that's stated in some extent on the talk page 17:41:29 <mclasen> beyond the uncertainty of the nm integration, I have no problems with the feature in general, so +1 from me 17:41:43 * mclasen is also concerned about putting any more stuff on dcbw's plate 17:42:14 <mmaslano> +1 17:42:32 <nirik> I think we could either: just vote on this now, or wait and try and get dcbw and adam together via voip or whatever and hash out any issues, then vote... 17:43:11 <kylem> nod, it definitely sounds like a good feature... 17:43:13 <mmaslano> according to ticket they speak together 17:43:36 <nirik> I'm +1 on the feature in general. 17:44:15 <kylem> same, +1. 17:44:45 * nirik is fine with approving it for now, and we can always drop it if it doesn't get done in time. 17:45:29 <notting> +1 by that rationale, sure 17:45:50 <nirik> I'll also note that feature submission deadline was yesterday... this is the last batch of features for approval for f15. 17:45:51 * mclasen already gave a +1 further up 17:46:04 <nirik> ok, so thats +5 then... 17:46:11 <nirik> #agreed Feature is approved 17:46:23 <nirik> #topic #545 F15Feature: GDB 7.3 - 17:46:23 <nirik> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/gdb-7.3 17:46:23 <nirik> .fesco 545 17:46:24 <zodbot> nirik: #545 (F15Feature: GDB 7.3 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/gdb-7.3) - FESCo - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/545 17:47:11 <nirik> another sort of developer/new version/hard to get too excited for most people feature. ;) 17:47:17 <kylem> +1. 17:47:19 <nirik> but sure, +1 here... 17:47:20 <mclasen> that one seems like a no-brainer 17:47:26 <mclasen> +1 17:47:31 <mmaslano> +1 17:48:02 <notting> ack, +1 17:48:06 <nirik> #agreed Feature is approved 17:48:13 <cwickert> +1 17:48:14 <nirik> #topic #546 F15Feature: Rupee Sign - 17:48:15 <nirik> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RupeeSign 17:48:15 <nirik> .fesco 546 17:48:15 <zodbot> nirik: #546 (F15Feature: Rupee Sign - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RupeeSign) - FESCo - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/546 17:48:34 <kylem> ... 17:48:40 * mclasen added some comments to that a few minutes ago 17:48:58 <gholms> Is that really a feature? 17:49:03 <nirik> this seems a bit... light for a feature. ;) 17:49:10 <mclasen> it seems like a potentially important thing to advertise for indic markets 17:49:28 <mclasen> I commented that it might be more interesting to have a more general unicode6 feature 17:50:12 <kylem> indeed. 17:50:16 <nirik> yeah, a more general feature would be nice... 17:50:22 <mmaslano> light for feature, but features are used as advertisement... 17:50:30 <kylem> i agree with notting and mclasen's points... 17:50:48 <mclasen> but then, this is nicely focused and may be a big selling point in india, who knows... 17:50:49 <nirik> even though this character may be important, can we generalize it to more support for a area. 17:51:23 <nirik> paragn_: you don't happen to be awake right now, do you? 17:51:29 <mclasen> (having a good overview over the supported unicode version across the distro would be useful, independently) 17:51:41 <notting> while that is true, i'd still +1 this as written. it's certainly not *bad* 17:51:49 * mclasen just updated gnome to be unicode 6 17:51:54 <mclasen> sure, +1 from me too 17:52:41 * cwickert is still reading, hold on... 17:52:48 * nirik guesses he is +1, but would prefer the feature be more general/cover more than just 1 character. 17:52:54 <mclasen> also, that feature totally needs a 'screenshot' of the new glyph... 17:53:04 <mmaslano> +1 17:53:28 <cwickert> I think I am +1 17:53:30 <kylem> +1. 17:53:44 <nirik> #agreed Feature is approved 17:54:01 <nirik> would someone add our comments/concerns/ideas to the talk page? 17:54:38 * mclasen added his 17:55:17 <nirik> ok. 17:56:03 <nirik> #topic #547 F15Feature: Python 3.2 - 17:56:03 <nirik> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Python_3.2 .fesco 547 17:56:03 <nirik> .fesco 547 17:56:04 <zodbot> nirik: #547 (F15Feature: Python 3.2 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Python_3.2) - FESCo - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/547 17:56:11 <nirik> +1 from me. 17:56:26 <notting> it's not a fedora release without a python upgrade somewhere :) 17:56:26 <notting> +1 17:56:42 * mclasen has no opinion on python, but 17:56:46 <mclasen> +1 in the name of progress 17:56:47 <cwickert> +1 17:56:51 <mmaslano> +1 17:56:59 <kylem> +1. 17:57:01 <gholms> The mustard indicates progress. 17:57:02 <nirik> indeed. 17:57:07 <nirik> #agreed Feature is approved 17:57:14 <nirik> #topic #548 F15Feature: Rails 3.0.3 - 17:57:14 <nirik> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Rails_3.0.3 .fesco 548 17:57:15 <nirik> .fesco 548 17:57:17 <zodbot> nirik: #548 (F15Feature: Rails 3.0.3 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Rails_3.0.3) - FESCo - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/548 17:57:21 <cwickert> +1 17:57:22 <kylem> what color is your bikes^Wmustard?

I'd like to see more people taking an interest in/maintaining comps. 18:23:28 * SMParrish here sorry I am late 18:23:32 <kylem> +1. i don't really care what it is called. 18:23:36 <mmaslano> +1 (it's only advertisement) 18:23:50 <nirik> SMParrish: welcome. 18:25:03 * nirik sees +4 18:25:10 * mclasen apologizes for being distracted by another meeting 18:25:17 <notting> did we loose quorum w/o cwickert? 18:25:23 <nirik> well, +5 if we agree to not let them rename graphics per cwickets request. 18:25:33 <nirik> well, SMParrish is here to vote now. ;) 18:25:46 <SMParrish> yep I am +1 18:26:00 <nirik> #agreed Feature is approved 18:26:13 <nirik> ok, the next one I didn't get on the agenda for some reason, but it should be: 18:26:37 <nirik> #topic #544 - List of services that may start by default 18:26:40 <nirik> .fesco 544 18:26:41 <zodbot> nirik: #544 (List of services that may start by default) - FESCo - Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/544 18:26:52 <nirik> so, we pushed this out to FPC. 18:27:02 <nirik> they hashed out some ideas and then pushed it back to us. ;) 18:27:26 <nirik> First question: 18:27:38 <nirik> Decide whether FPC or FESCo makes the list (b/c some thought this was an expansion of fpc's charter while others thought that it was within FPCs charter and additionally FESCo had agreed to hand it to FPC several meetings back). 18:28:09 <nirik> personally I don't care. If they would prefer we do, I'm happy for us to just do it. 18:28:37 <nirik> other thoughts? 18:28:38 * kylem grumbles 18:28:58 <SMParrish> I dont mind us doing it but they will have to live with what we decide 18:29:03 <kylem> indeed. 18:29:31 <kylem> maybe we should say everything is off by default. :) 18:29:38 <kylem> and handle exceptions one by one. 18:29:54 <kylem> sshd by default. nothing else. ;-) 18:29:54 <nirik> well, they started a list... 18:30:12 <kylem> yeah. 18:30:21 <nirik> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Spot/DefaultServices 18:30:27 <mmaslano> could we sent spot's list on fedora-devel and waited for responses with exceptions 18:30:29 <nirik> but first we should decide if we are going to decide or ask them to. ;) 18:30:35 <mmaslano> ;-) 18:30:44 <kylem> i'm fine with doing it, i don't mind being hated so long as i am feared. 18:30:45 <kylem> or something 18:30:46 <kylem> ;-) 18:31:05 <tibbs|h> kylem: FWIW, "off by default" is the current guideline. 18:31:12 <tibbs|h> But plenty of packages simply ignroed it. 18:31:41 <nirik> If we are going to decide, we should task someone with generating a list: all services (sysvinit and systemd) and their default state. 18:31:52 <kylem> cool, i had wondered, it seems pretty ad hoc right now. 18:32:48 <nirik> proposal: FESCo agrees to create a default/list of exceptions 18:32:53 <kylem> +1. 18:32:57 <mmaslano> +1 18:32:58 <SMParrish> +1 18:32:59 <notting> +1 18:33:06 <nirik> sure, +1 18:33:07 <mclasen> +1 18:33:16 <nirik> #agreed fesco will create a default/list of exceptions. 18:33:45 <nirik> ok, shall we start with spot's list? or would someone be willing to draft up a new proposal? 18:33:59 <nirik> I'd like to see a complete list if we can generate one... 18:34:02 <kylem> spot's list looks like it hits the important ones. 18:34:40 <nirik> outstanding questions from that list: should abrt be allowed? should we just always allow non network facing things, some of them may be insecure or unexpected from users? 18:35:29 <kylem> two question marks would be: what about a service which is a dep of something else, it might be hard to figure out why it isn't working... 18:35:38 <kylem> ah, and what you just mentioned 18:36:12 <nirik> and possibly should one-shot services be always allowed... 18:36:36 <SMParrish> I would prefer that we keep to a default of off unless granted an exception 18:36:51 <kylem> agreed. 18:36:51 <nirik> SMParrish: for everything? 18:37:04 <nirik> ie, even one-shot or non network facing items? 18:37:05 <kylem> i think otherwise is a slippery slope. 18:37:41 <kylem> you mean, things which only listen to udp/tcp from localhost by default, or/ 18:37:57 <notting> kylem: i.e., a mta? 18:38:18 * abadger1999 tried to document all of the issues that FPC came up with in trying to draft general guidelines -- the things nirik just mentioned and other things. 18:38:22 <kylem> notting, depends on your configuration, yeah. 18:38:25 <SMParrish> nirik: yes everything, I as a user should decide what services, that are not required for a running system, should be running 18:38:27 <abadger1999> They're in the dfesco ticket. 18:38:31 <nirik> one shot items: iptables, udev, lvm2-monitor 18:39:29 <nirik> well, I suggest we need a complete list. 18:39:36 <SMParrish> nirik: I consider those as necessary system services. things like abrt are not 18:40:11 <notting> i think requiring the user to configure random system services always isn't practical 18:40:28 <notting> either we want to offer abrt as a fedora thing, or not 18:40:43 <nirik> well, if we deny abrt we are essentially just demoting it to not on by default so it likely won't get used much at all. 18:40:53 <notting> that should be a decision about how we're building fedora, not an application of a specific packaging policy 18:41:00 <nirik> yeah. 18:41:25 <nirik> anyhow, would anyone be willing to step up and generate a full list for us? ;) 18:42:53 <notting> i'll look at it. might not be before next week 18:43:24 <nirik> notting: thanks. 18:43:33 <nirik> #action notting to generate list of services 18:43:53 <nirik> I think if we have a list we can look at things that we think should be on by default more easily. 18:43:57 * abadger1999 notes that fpc discussed whether it would be fair to have things like abrt turned on by anaconda or firstboot rather than embed in he package -- but then felt like that was a fesco call rather than fpc. 18:44:31 <mmaslano> it can be discussed with jmoskovc on fudcon ;-) 18:47:13 <nirik> my laptop just locked up 18:47:35 <nirik> can someone finish running the meeting? 18:48:18 <jankratochvil> Could be picked up again GDB or only next week? #topic #545 F15Feature: GDB 7.3 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/gdb-7.3 18:48:29 <jankratochvil> [As the owner I missed it - wrong meeting time on FESCo homepage, fixed now.] 18:48:35 <kylem> hrm, what do we have left? just the engineering tickets? 18:48:55 <nirik> just open floor 18:49:14 <notting> jankratochvil: we already did that 18:49:21 <kylem> .topic Open Floor 18:49:36 <kylem> #topic Open Floor 18:49:45 <kylem> Anything for the open floor then? :) 18:51:59 <kylem> i'll take that as a no... 18:52:10 * spot has a list of all packages with current enabled by default services 18:52:38 <spot> abrt acpid at audit autofs avahi bluez cluster-glue cobbler coda-client cpuspeed cronie ctrlproxy dbus dkms exim fence-virtd firebird-superserver firstboot fnfx freenx-server gadget gpm gvrpcd hal hsqldb ifplugd ipmiutil iptables iptables-ipv6 irqbalance iscsi-initiator-utils isdn4k-utils koji-builder libvirt libvirt-client lvm2 mdadm nfs-utils ocfs2-tools olpc-utils openct openslp-server openssh-server pcsc-lite pop-before-smtp portreserve preload qemu-co 18:52:38 <spot> mmon qemu-user quagga rhnsd rpcbind rp-pppoe rsyslog sblim-gather sendmail snort spice-vdagent sysklogd sysstat udev wine-desktop xen xen-runtime xinetd yum-updatesd 18:53:44 <kylem> cool, i'll add that to the ticket. thanks spot. 18:55:08 <kylem> ok, thanks everyone. 18:55:11 <kylem> #endmeeting
