Mar 26 19:04:53 KingTaco eradicator, you have the floor
Mar 26 19:05:35 blubb . o O ( silence )
Mar 26 19:05:53 KingTaco indeed
Mar 26 19:05:57 KingTaco eradicator, ping?
Mar 26 19:06:02 Kugelfang Mr Huddleston
Mar 26 19:06:20 stkn_ he's dead jim
Mar 26 19:06:33 Kugelfang noooooo
Mar 26 19:06:58 blubb eradicator: i won't pay you if you don't get to work
immediately!
Mar 26 19:07:18 Flameeyes [19:05] [Whois] eradicator has been idle for 12
hours, 54 minutes, and 27 seconds.
Mar 26 19:07:27 Flameeyes i think he's not here at all :)
Mar 26 19:07:29 blubb neither would i if he's here, but *ssssh*
Mar 26 19:07:39 KingTaco ok
Mar 26 19:07:42 blubb KingTaco: next item? :D
Mar 26 19:07:49 KingTaco moving on, hopefully he shows up
Mar 26 19:08:04 KingTaco next item, releng report
Mar 26 19:08:08 Kugelfang uh
Mar 26 19:08:09 KingTaco Kugelfang, you got the floor
Mar 26 19:08:10 Kugelfang that's me
Mar 26 19:08:12 Kugelfang hehe
Mar 26 19:08:25 Kugelfang well, looks good so far... everything has been
built in time
Mar 26 19:08:34 * jhuebel has quit ("Leaving")
Mar 26 19:08:39 Kugelfang for 2005.0, we have (as every time) minimal and
universal installcds
Mar 26 19:08:50 Kugelfang the kernels have changed there
Mar 26 19:08:57 blubb no -smp, right?
Mar 26 19:09:10 Kugelfang we support now a AMD K8 NUMA capable kernel and
a x86-64 SMP kernel
Mar 26 19:09:14 luckyduck now we have 2.6.11, or is it .10 ?
Mar 26 19:09:15 KingTaco +smp on all kernels
Mar 26 19:09:27 Kugelfang 2.6.11
Mar 26 19:09:34 luckyduck ah, k
Mar 26 19:09:49 Kugelfang the SMP only kernel is labeled -em64t
Mar 26 19:10:06 Kugelfang as for the stages, everything seems to be fine
Mar 26 19:10:12 Kugelfang most of you tested them already :-)
Mar 26 19:10:32 blubb when will the 2005.0 release be?
Mar 26 19:10:48 Kugelfang i think it's this monday
Mar 26 19:10:52 Kugelfang hopefully
Mar 26 19:10:56 blubb nice
Mar 26 19:11:00 KingTaco sweet
Mar 26 19:11:02 Kugelfang yeah
Mar 26 19:11:04 hparker Cool
Mar 26 19:11:19 Kugelfang well, nothing to say regarding the stages i
think
Mar 26 19:11:38 Kugelfang The GRP was stripped from apache, as we had a
security bug and didn't want to rebuild :-)
Mar 26 19:11:47 KingTaco are there any pitfalls (like having to do a
emerge -e workd) that still exist?
Mar 26 19:11:47 Kugelfang this is true for all arches i think
Mar 26 19:11:57 Kugelfang KingTaco: yeah, this is part of the handbook now
Mar 26 19:12:11 KingTaco so the handbook has been updated and available?
Mar 26 19:12:24 blubb another reason to use stage3 :)
Mar 26 19:12:25 Kugelfang for a installation from stage{1,2}, you need to
emerge -e system OR emerge --newuser system
Mar 26 19:12:38 blubb --newuser??
Mar 26 19:12:38 Kugelfang KingTaco: handbook's draft is at: "please hold
the line"
Mar 26 19:12:39 hparker newuser?
Mar 26 19:12:49 dang newuse?
Mar 26 19:12:51 Kugelfang
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/draft/2005.0/index.xml
Mar 26 19:12:59 Kugelfang --newuse of course :-)
Mar 26 19:13:05 hparker kk
Mar 26 19:13:12 blubb ah
Mar 26 19:13:58 hparker I'm still seeing problems with the upgrade, which we
can expect an increase in upgrades after release :/
Mar 26 19:14:01 Kugelfang i have put release notes out as well, they are
in http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/release/2005.0/amd64-release-notes.xml
Mar 26 19:14:24 Kugelfang hparker: problem with the profiles you mean ?
or with the upgrade process ?
Mar 26 19:15:07 Flameeyes the upgrade makefile was having troubles when i
used it last week
Mar 26 19:15:19 Kugelfang Flameeyes: what kind of troubles ?
Mar 26 19:15:24 hparker Probably profile, not sure... Still seeing double long,
gcc can't create executables, etc
Mar 26 19:15:43 Flameeyes linux-headers didn't merged, errors in the
kernel makefiles
Mar 26 19:15:49 Flameeyes emerging it out of the makefile worked
Mar 26 19:16:01 Kugelfang hm
Mar 26 19:16:09 Kugelfang honestly, this is eradicator's playground
Mar 26 19:16:15 KingTaco it is
Mar 26 19:16:17 Flameeyes probably there's some problems with the
makefile -> emerge -> makefile environments
Mar 26 19:16:33 KingTaco table this for eradicator(hopefully he shows up)
Mar 26 19:16:35 Kugelfang could be, i don't know... we have to wait until
jeremy shows up
Mar 26 19:16:49 blubb after the release we don't need that upgrade makefile
anyway, right?
Mar 26 19:17:07 Flameeyes a solution could be moving from makefile to sh
script which shouldn't have that problem
Mar 26 19:17:09 Kugelfang blubb: we need it as long as there are people
who haven't switched the profile
Mar 26 19:17:45 Kugelfang Flameeyes: did you just volunteer to test that
? :-)
Mar 26 19:18:11 Flameeyes Kugelfang, now i think i had :)
Mar 26 19:18:16 Kugelfang hehe
Mar 26 19:18:22 Kugelfang well, back to the release...
Mar 26 19:18:28 KingTaco ok, so anything more on releng?
Mar 26 19:18:40 Kugelfang as most of you have surely heard, i'll take
over amd64 releng
Mar 26 19:18:43 Kugelfang from jh
Mar 26 19:18:44 Kugelfang ahm
Mar 26 19:18:47 Kugelfang jhuebel
Mar 26 19:19:04 blubb also for further releases?
Mar 26 19:19:08 Kugelfang jepp
Mar 26 19:19:13 blubb k
Mar 26 19:19:30 * Kugelfang is now known as "releng-bitch"
Mar 26 19:19:36 luckyduck =)
Mar 26 19:19:40 KingTaco heh
Mar 26 19:19:45 blubb Kugelfang: i have to censor that in the logfile ;)
Mar 26 19:19:53 Kugelfang o.O
Mar 26 19:20:17 Kugelfang ok, nothing from my side
Mar 26 19:20:19 KingTaco you should have used bioch
Mar 26 19:20:30 Kugelfang still any questions regarding the release ?
Mar 26 19:20:42 Kugelfang ah: my specfiles and the snapshot are all in CVS
Mar 26 19:20:54 Kugelfang module "gentoo", /src/releng/
Mar 26 19:21:19 Kugelfang no questions?
Mar 26 19:21:27 Kugelfang KingTaco: i think we can proceed
Mar 26 19:21:30 Kugelfang :-)
Mar 26 19:21:38 KingTaco ok, net item, AT status:
Mar 26 19:21:44 KingTaco kingtaco: you have the floor
Mar 26 19:22:01 * Kugelfang silently steps aways from KingTaco
Mar 26 19:22:24 luckyduck how many AT's are there currently?
Mar 26 19:22:25 blubb lol
Mar 26 19:22:34 KingTaco luckyduck, 6 currently I think
Mar 26 19:22:38 KingTaco we had to let one go
Mar 26 19:22:45 luckyduck oh :(
Mar 26 19:22:59 hparker And i'm working with 2-3 on their quizes
Mar 26 19:23:01 blubb KingTaco: you're speaking of piolyte, right?
Mar 26 19:23:06 KingTaco jhujiti, he didn't do anything as far as we can
tell
Mar 26 19:23:15 hparker Hrrmm make that two then
Mar 26 19:23:16 KingTaco blubb, no, he's listed as inactive
Mar 26 19:23:30 KingTaco his permissions have been removed
Mar 26 19:23:38 blubb :|
Mar 26 19:23:43 KingTaco if and when he comes back I'll reverse that
Mar 26 19:23:59 KingTaco so, there has been a change in at "management"
Mar 26 19:24:04 Kugelfang hm for all those who had fear piolyte could
have problems: he's fine according to plasmaroo who phoned him
Mar 26 19:24:26 hparker Kugelfang: thanks for the update
Mar 26 19:24:27 blubb KingTaco: in the mail alias we only have 5 ATs
Mar 26 19:24:43 blubb Kugelfang: oh, ok
Mar 26 19:24:54 Kugelfang n/p
Mar 26 19:25:00 KingTaco hparker is now the "operational lead" for the
AT's: all day to day activities regarding AT's should goto him
Mar 26 19:25:25 hparker Break... Someone invite suri! ;)
Mar 26 19:25:30 KingTaco I'm remaining as more of a general manager of
the project, as I'm trying to get it to become an official gentoo project
Mar 26 19:25:38 luckyduck so, he also adds the keywords to ebuilds to
close the bugs which are keyworded as TESTED? :P
Mar 26 19:26:10 blubb luckyduck: that's your work :P
Mar 26 19:26:15 luckyduck :(
Mar 26 19:26:18 KingTaco I'm turning over the floor to hparker who can

Mar 26 19:28:27 hparker KingTaco: thanks for putting me on the spot ;)
Mar 26 19:28:35 KingTaco hparker, :)
Mar 26 19:28:40 * Kugelfang searches for 1000W spotlights...
Mar 26 19:28:50 KingTaco everyone tease hparker, he's new at this
Mar 26 19:29:05 KingTaco hparker, why don't you explain the process of
becomeing an AT
Mar 26 19:29:14 hparker Ok, as you've heard, we've lost 1 AT... But, we've
added several, and I'm working with 2-3 on their quizes
Mar 26 19:29:15 blubb good idea, i want to become one ;)
Mar 26 19:29:19 hparker lol
Mar 26 19:29:27 luckyduck :))
Mar 26 19:29:37 suri Um, you never said there were risks involved.
Mar 26 19:29:39 * Kugelfang removes channel operator status from blubb
Mar 26 19:29:42 * Kugelfang gives voice to blubb

Mar 26 19:29:56 dang He still has cvs...
Mar 26 19:29:59 hparker To become an AT, as most here know, you have to pass
the ebuild quiz
Mar 26 19:30:01 * Kugelfang gives channel operator status to blubb
Mar 26 19:30:02 Flameeyes suri, the main one is the risk of loosing
mental abilities
Mar 26 19:30:15 hparker Astinus is working up a new quiz more taailered to an AT
Mar 26 19:30:17 luckyduck what about the groupies in here, seemant and
solar? do we count them as AT's ? :-p
Mar 26 19:30:33 KingTaco no, they arn't at's
Mar 26 19:30:34 blubb hparker: will that quiz be easier?
Mar 26 19:30:38 luckyduck ;)
Mar 26 19:30:39 KingTaco all at's are listed on the at page
Mar 26 19:30:41 Flameeyes luckyduck, maybe ATX :)
Mar 26 19:30:55 luckyduck :)
Mar 26 19:30:58 KingTaco blubb, the quiz will get harder if anything
Mar 26 19:31:00 hparker If anyone knows of anyone that would make a good AT,
please send them my way
Mar 26 19:31:03 blubb heh
Mar 26 19:31:16 KingTaco a quiz rewrite is being looked at
Mar 26 19:31:19 hparker We're always looking for talent..
Mar 26 19:31:26 Kugelfang blubb: what about this guy with the penguin
mail address ?
Mar 26 19:31:38 blubb Kugelfang: never got an answer
Mar 26 19:31:44 hparker Roland? I think someone sent him something at the last
meeting
Mar 26 19:31:44 * Kugelfang shakes head
Mar 26 19:31:52 hparker :(
Mar 26 19:32:02 blubb but he's quite active on bugzilla
Mar 26 19:32:08 dang Kugelfang: It's a non-trivial time commitment. I can't
blame him, really.
Mar 26 19:32:09 hparker That he is
Mar 26 19:32:12 blubb he even opens tracker bugs :D
Mar 26 19:32:41 hparker Anywho.. Any questions?

Mar 26 19:34:48 KingTaco thought so
Mar 26 19:34:59 Flameeyes luckyduck, maybe we are seeing different pages?
Mar 26 19:35:07 luckyduck
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/tests/index.xml?part=1&chap=1
Mar 26 19:35:18 KingTaco someone with nls and cvs to that page should
correct the accent grave on the last o in his name
Mar 26 19:35:21 Flameeyes
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/arch-testers-amd64.xml
Mar 26 19:35:33 KingTaco Flameeyes, that' the old deprecated page
Mar 26 19:35:34 blubb btw, why is hparker listed as an AT?
Mar 26 19:35:47 hparker i wear lots of hats ;)
Mar 26 19:35:53 Flameeyes KingTaco, that's the one which is found from
amd64 project homepage :)
Mar 26 19:35:58 blubb lol
Mar 26 19:36:07 Kugelfang KingTaco, hparker: the new at page is

Mar 26 19:42:18 KingTaco assign to me and hparker
Mar 26 19:42:26 luckyduck while we're at the documentation, i would love
it if we could include something in the bug reporting howto to encourage users
to include test cases for keywording requests into the reports.
Mar 26 19:42:45 KingTaco luckyduck, I couldn't agree more
Mar 26 19:42:50 luckyduck there is a lot of weird software in the tree,
and to find out how to test takes sometimes quite long
Mar 26 19:42:52 KingTaco but it needs to o further than that
Mar 26 19:42:56 KingTaco sec bugs for example
Mar 26 19:42:59 blubb luckyduck: heh, yes
Mar 26 19:43:02 luckyduck ah, ok
Mar 26 19:43:07 hparker luckyduck: No doubt!

Mar 26 20:19:36 KingTaco so we're about half way there
Mar 26 20:19:42 Kugelfang suri: e.g: if i had to transfer $20 alone, that
would mean for paying $5 extras for transfer fees i think

Mar 26 20:23:13 luckyduck wow, would be nice to have 3 additional
opterons :)
Mar 26 20:23:19 plasmaroo Not really, if people donate, they donate to
that box.
Mar 26 20:23:28 KingTaco 1) money from users should be donated to gentoo
in general, and not to us specificly
Mar 26 20:23:51 plasmaroo KingTaco: Um, yeah, and money "to Gentoo" would
go to things like ... developer hardware such as nemo.
Mar 26 20:23:54 KingTaco 2) I'd have to get trustees/managers invloved
Mar 26 20:23:56 Kugelfang model name : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 246
Mar 26 20:24:16 KingTaco plasmaroo, there is other hardware that needs
attention as well
Mar 26 20:24:25 plasmaroo KingTaco: Nod.
Mar 26 20:24:29 KingTaco doing it this way I can ensure that it all goes
to nemo
Mar 26 20:24:46 hparker You can't donate to Gentoo, wanting it directed to a
certain part?
Mar 26 20:25:03 KingTaco 3) I don't think I have the authority to ask
for donations from our general userbase
Mar 26 20:25:05 Kugelfang hparker: well i don't even know if the trustees
have opened an account yet ...
Mar 26 20:25:13 KingTaco Kugelfang, they have
Mar 26 20:25:18 KingTaco and it's empty
Mar 26 20:25:20 Kugelfang ah, ok
Mar 26 20:25:22 Kugelfang hehe
Mar 26 20:25:23 plasmaroo KingTaco: Why do you need authority?
Mar 26 20:25:24 Kugelfang thought so
Mar 26 20:25:29 blubb hparker: i think it's better, because if we get too
much, we can't use it for other boxes...
Mar 26 20:25:54 KingTaco plasmaroo, I try to keep amd64 contained to us,
with as little outside involvment as possible
Mar 26 20:26:16 plasmaroo True...
Mar 26 20:26:28 KingTaco we follow outside guidelines, but we are our
own team
Mar 26 20:27:19 KingTaco so I guess a lot of you think we should be
asking in other channels as well
Mar 26 20:27:46 malc If we can raise the cash amongst us, then fine. If not
then I guess we're forced to seek outside help...
Mar 26 20:27:50 Kugelfang so, we have $368 if hparker gives 20 or $398 if
hparker gives 50...
Mar 26 20:27:53 Kugelfang that's quite good already
Mar 26 20:27:58 blubb malc: ack
Mar 26 20:27:59 Kugelfang the new board is in for sure...
Mar 26 20:28:06 KingTaco oh yes
Mar 26 20:28:20 KingTaco and we have seemant talking to our vendors
Mar 26 20:28:37 Kugelfang heh
Mar 26 20:28:39 KingTaco idealy, I'd like to find a vendor to match what
we've raised
Mar 26 20:28:50 blubb btw, didn't nvidia want to support us or so?
Mar 26 20:28:51 plasmaroo NVIDIA is amazingly nice.
Mar 26 20:29:03 Kugelfang yeah they donated nemo
Mar 26 20:29:11 plasmaroo ... and a few other boxes.
Mar 26 20:29:13 KingTaco I get the impression that nvidia will be the
donater here
Mar 26 20:29:19 blubb ah
Mar 26 20:29:58 malc If someone knows nvidia, maybe we can ask them to match
what the devs raise or something?
Mar 26 20:30:00 Kugelfang plasmaroo: particularly ?
Mar 26 20:30:14 plasmaroo Kugelfang: Particularly some infra boxes, one
of which is a nice AMD64...
Mar 26 20:30:14 KingTaco malc, that's what seemant is doing
Mar 26 20:30:29 Kugelfang plasmaroo: ah, cvs, right?
Mar 26 20:30:33 plasmaroo Kugelfang: No, master rsync.
Mar 26 20:30:34 solar Kugelfang: there is an open account and we gentoo got
it's first donation
Mar 26 20:30:50 Kugelfang i see
Mar 26 20:30:51 Kugelfang cool
Mar 26 20:30:55 KingTaco solar, you're back
Mar 26 20:31:11 KingTaco solar, wanna intorduce yourself and talk about
amd64/hardened?
Mar 26 20:32:10 solar well alot of hardened users keep asking got amd64
stages. amd64 is the direction that I'm pushing our users
Mar 26 20:32:40 solar what do want me to say?
Mar 26 20:32:47 Kugelfang solar: you said, you want one dedicated
amd64/hardened dev, right?
Mar 26 20:32:52 KingTaco you wanted a amd64/hardened dev?
Mar 26 20:32:57 Kugelfang anyone volounteering for that job ?
Mar 26 20:33:21 blubb what would that involve?
Mar 26 20:33:28 Kugelfang ^^solar
Mar 26 20:33:30 luckyduck what skills are required for that "job"?
Mar 26 20:33:32 solar oh that. yeah I want to barrow somebody from your team
to join the hardened team also.
Mar 26 20:34:09 blubb does one have to be an asm monkey? ;)
Mar 26 20:34:17 luckyduck hehe=)
Mar 26 20:34:21 solar luckyduck: watch bugzilla for hardened bugs that have
amd64 in emerge info
Mar 26 20:34:52 solar roll a few sets of stages at release time.
Mar 26 20:35:07 solar or talk this herd into going hardened by default :)
Mar 26 20:35:24 blubb lol
Mar 26 20:35:30 dang solar: would is cause any general problems? Popular
software (gnome/kde) known to break?
Mar 26 20:35:41 blubb they want to assimilate us ;)
Mar 26 20:35:49 dang blubb: or we can assimilate them. :)
Mar 26 20:35:59 hparker I can't see that I need hardened on my laptop
Mar 26 20:36:15 solar actually it fixes quite a few things where amd64 has
problems with shared libs and pic handling
Mar 26 20:36:48 blubb so it wouldn't be that different from what we do now...
fixing bugs ;)
Mar 26 20:36:49 dang hparker: Only if there's overhead. If it's "free", why
not use it?
Mar 26 20:36:54 Kugelfang solar: hm, do you CC [EMAIL PROTECTED] on those
bugs ? or is it just that Hardware is set to amd64 ?
Mar 26 20:37:10 hparker dang: True
Mar 26 20:37:21 solar well pic handling problems is a shared problem we both
have.
Mar 26 20:37:27 solar so I fix them
Mar 26 20:37:44 KingTaco so we should be working togethere
Mar 26 20:37:52 KingTaco whatabout an idea like this:
Mar 26 20:38:06 solar yeah. cuz if we do official stages at some point I'm
sure bugzilla will light up a bit.
Mar 26 20:38:55 KingTaco we can have amd64/2005.0/hardened profiles that
would still allow for unstable packages and whatnot, not quite as restruictive
as the current hardened profiles, and we could have hardened/amd64 profile
where it is more restrictive
Mar 26 20:39:18 Kugelfang KingTaco: no need for that...
Mar 26 20:39:26 KingTaco no
Mar 26 20:39:35 mini-morfic wth do those $ numbers represent?
Mar 26 20:39:37 blubb KingTaco: i think it would confuse users
Mar 26 20:39:44 KingTaco mini-morfic, USD
Mar 26 20:39:48 Kugelfang solar, KingTaco: currently the hardened/amd64
profile bases _solely_ on the hardened profile...
Mar 26 20:39:55 KingTaco mini-morfic, donations for nemo
Mar 26 20:40:04 solar base->hardened->amd64
Mar 26 20:40:16 Kugelfang but i think portage people prepare multi-parent
cascaded profiles
Mar 26 20:40:21 Kugelfang if i'm not mistaken
Mar 26 20:40:23 * mini-morfic is now known as nemo_
Mar 26 20:40:28 nemo_ thanks
Mar 26 20:40:37 * nemo_ is now known as mini-morfic
Mar 26 20:40:46 solar multiparent is a nice idea
Mar 26 20:40:53 KingTaco my problem with us moving to a solely hardened
profile is we still have a lot of testing to do
Mar 26 20:41:02 Kugelfang solar: yeah, would ease Amd64/hardened much
Mar 26 20:41:11 KingTaco which I don't think hardened lends itsself to
Mar 26 20:41:20 Kugelfang KingTaco: i don't want to no solely hardened
profile, honestly
Mar 26 20:41:30 Kugelfang s/to//
Mar 26 20:42:09 KingTaco right, it doesn't fit us well currently
Mar 26 20:42:18 solar fedora has already moved in that direction
Mar 26 20:42:20 Kugelfang hm, no portage monkey available atm
Mar 26 20:42:26 Kugelfang solar: hardened only ?
Mar 26 20:42:33 KingTaco but I would like to be able to offer hardened
for amd64 users
Mar 26 20:42:40 solar more or less. they use PIE for all services
Mar 26 20:42:45 Kugelfang i see
Mar 26 20:43:02 solar and are moving towards a -DFORTIFY_SOURCE feature of
gcc-4.x when it hits
Mar 26 20:43:03 KingTaco PIE was invented by a RH guy iirc
Mar 26 20:43:15 KingTaco or was that SSP
Mar 26 20:43:37 solar the fstack-protector (ssp IBM) is what some of you
would probably not want.
Mar 26 20:44:31 solar PIE yes and no. It's a long story how it came about. RH
likes to barrow ideas and rename thing under the RH dev flavor
Mar 26 20:45:08 KingTaco I remember reading a RH white paper about ssp a
while back
Mar 26 20:45:18 KingTaco my impression was a rh guy did it
Mar 26 20:45:22 solar pie is no more than just making your executables into
pure shared objects
Mar 26 20:45:24 Kugelfang KingTaco: this still part of the meeting?
Mar 26 20:45:28 Kugelfang KingTaco: if not, let's end the log
Mar 26 20:45:37 solar you maybe read a RH paper about mudflap
Mar 26 20:45:39 KingTaco Kugelfang, "open discussion"
Mar 26 20:45:45 blubb heh
Mar 26 20:45:45 Kugelfang KingTaco: i see
Mar 26 20:45:45 KingTaco solar, yes, exactly
Mar 26 20:46:01 solar it differs from ssp in a few ways.
Mar 26 20:46:07 KingTaco Kugelfang, but yeah, we're digressing
