Participants: * Ben Kaduk * Daria Brashear * Jeffrey Altman * Marc Dionne * Mark Vitale * Mike Meffie * Stephan Wiesand == 1.6.14 release == 1.6.14 will fix a vlserver regression introduced in 1.6.13. The capability to query the vldb by regular expression was removed under the assumption that it was unused, which turned out to be wrong. At least "backup" needs it if volumes are specified by regular expressions. The changes reverting the removal, fixing some obvious implementation issues and restricting use of the interface to superusers were merged on master during the meeting and pulled up shortly after: * http://gerrit.openafs.org/11971 * http://gerrit.openafs.org/11975 * http://gerrit.openafs.org/11976 These need review. Please help. It also was discussed what exactly is or might be broken due to this. Mark will draft a summary paragraph for the release notes and the announcement. == 1.6.14.1 release == 1.6.14.1 will be dedicated to supporting clients on Linux 4.2 (and probably soon distribution kernels with backports of the changes breaking us). Linux 4.2 is at -rc5, and the release expected within ~ 2 weeks. The essential changes are available in gerrit for the 1.6 branch already: * http://gerrit.openafs.org/11948 * http://gerrit.openafs.org/11949 * http://gerrit.openafs.org/11951 Along with two supporting changes: * http://gerrit.openafs.org/11933 * http://gerrit.openafs.org/11950 All except 11933 had no review at all. Please help. There's also an ongoing discussion on a change still not merged on master: * http://gerrit.openafs.org/11945 Without it, lookups in AFS will fail for paths with more than 40 directory components (41 to 80 if the first n-40 dirs are already cached) on Linux 4.2+. But there's a chance it may reintroduce issues that were fixed by http://gerrit.openafs.org/7951 . Mark will contact Andrew Deason (author of 7951) about the change. == Schedule == * a.s.a.p. (hopefully this week): 1.6.14 * as soon as Linux 4.2 is [very likely to be] final (hopefully next week): 1.6.14.1 * next week: probably last meeting for a while (=summer?) * the week after is the Pittsburgh workshop (and the start of the release manager's vacation) _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
