Participants: * Andrew Deason * Derrick Brashear * Marc Dionne * Mike Meffie * Stephan Wiesand == Linux 3.13 == Marc tested the head of 1.6.x on 3.13-rc4+ this morning, and we're still good. == Problem reports == The report in https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2013-December/040327.html lacks the details required to understand what's going on. Andrew and Mike encountered a problem where SELinux causes delays when accessing uncached AFS data. A proposed fix was merged on master and pulled up to gerrit 10598 during the meeting. The commit message also explains well what's going on. Stephan believes this problem has existed at least since the early EL5 days. Marc points out that it uses a different code path within the kernel. Decision: this comes a bit late for pre2. Marc reported (already last week) about a problem where McAfee antivirus software prevents the client from accessing his disk cache. This seems to be new with the RHEL 6.5 kernel. The workaround is to exclude the disk cache from virus scanning. A note should be added to the release notes and the announcement. Mike proposes posting this on openafs-info. It's not clear whether this can be fixed or worked around in the openafs code. == 1.6.6pre2 == The EL 6.5 fix (10578) and the pending changes for Mavericks support (10541/2/3/8/9), as well as the "make pre2" and NEWS update changes, received sufficient review and were merged during the meeting. Tarballs were uploaded to /afs/.grand.central.org/software/openafs/candidate/1.6.6pre2 . We'll wait for some positive smoke test results before tagging, but builds not depending on a tag could start now. [update: Derrick pushed the tag] There was some discussion on 10548. Replacing a macro with a static inline function this way may not generally work, and a cleaner solution should be found. Andrew volunteered to look into it. But at least for 1.6.6pre2, this darwin-only change should do. == 1.6.5.2 == Stephan to work on it right after the 1.6.6pre2 smoke tests. [update: the list of changes foreseen to go in can be found under http://gerrit.openafs.org/#q,status:open+project:openafs+branch:openafs-stable-1_6_5_x,n,z ] -- Stephan Wiesand DESY -DV- Platanenenallee 6 15738 Zeuthen, Germany _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
