So looks like I can be here. 21:08:36 solar, yay 21:08:40 Calchan? 21:09:02 dertobi123, are you ok with moving the glep discussion to open florr and not voting for this meeting? 21:09:07 sure 21:09:11 solar, too? 21:09:20 guess that was already decided on list 21:09:25 ok then 21:09:40 do we skip the vote by email discussion as solar is here? 21:09:43 I have no objections to glep-58 moving fwd as it causes no impact to anybody 21:09:44 I'd say yes 21:10:01 yes better suited for discussion by email for example 21:10:43 --- Calchan gives voice to zmedico 21:11:02 ok, let's switch to 2 EAPI3 status 21:11:16 zmedico, you said ETA in roughly 3 months 21:11:36 in your mail, could you elaborate or was it a very rough guess? 21:12:45 while we're waiting for zac, what do you guys think of doing an EAPI bump with what's already done? 21:12:50 tbh lets remove those eapi-3 status updates from this and the upcoming agendas. it's done when it's done. it doesn't help nor speeds up the process to discuss this again and again 21:12:54 --> Zorry (n=zorry@fu/coder/zorry) has joined #gentoo-council 21:13:09 Calchan: It only makes sense if there's something valuable already done. 21:13:23 Calchan: No reason for having a new one if devs have no need for it. 21:13:25 Calchan: I don't see any use for that, maybe except for prefix 21:13:32 dertobi123, I was actually going to ask zmedico how we could help him and his team 21:13:41 Calchan: vim *.py 21:13:52 s/vim/${EDITOR/ 21:14:51 so the general opinion is that there's nothing worth yet to justify a pre-3 EAPI bump? 21:15:44 anybody? 21:15:56 the things done are mainly removing deprecated stuff and cleanups 21:16:15 new (and old) devs have to learn additional stuff for every additional EAPI 21:16:27 i don't think it's helpful to split up eapi-3 now 21:16:28 so we should keep their number limited 21:16:32 Calchan: None of the main EAPI 3 features are done. 21:16:36 ulm: agreed 21:17:00 ok, then if nobody has anything to add let's leave it a tthis and switch to prefix 21:17:12 and we're almost on time 21:17:25 what advantage is it to make others wait on feautres when they are ready? 21:17:52 solar: There's nothing in the tracker that would make a big difference for devs 21:18:37 --- Calchan gives voice to grobian 21:18:50 solar, ok to switch to 3. prefix? 21:19:29 looks like it 21:19:52 so, have you guys reviewed the material posted by the prefix team in response to our requests? 21:20:12 I mean the answers to our questions, the PMS patch and the portage stuff 21:20:12 yes, and looks good to me 21:20:47 Calchan: I havent' seen a pms patch going through gentoo-pms at least 21:20:54 it looks good to me too, although I can't comment much on portage code (i.e. it went over my head) 21:21:14 Betelgeuse: http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_62b5df924d6e9e74c94149e7e7f17d23.xml 21:21:19 Betelgeuse, good point, but you have seen the one posted to the list, right? 21:21:32 s/the list/the -dev list/ 21:22:22 my only comment is that it refers to the prefix stuff as coming with EAPI3 and that would have to be fixed if we vote to make a quick EAPI bump before 21:22:38 Calchan: yes there was one there 21:22:38 and I was satisfied with the answers 21:24:06 obviously there's some polishing required with all this, but we can vote now on whether we want prefix in the tree as it's been presented to us 21:24:14 I vote yes 21:24:33 I vote yes 21:24:38 yes too 21:25:02 yes 21:25:11 Betelgeuse? 21:25:27 leio? 21:25:53 Calchan: yes having prefix support eventually in the main three is worthwhile 21:25:57 I abstain from voting, as I have not been able to review yet what has been presented to us. But in what way would this "wanting prefix in the tree" be as? 21:26:19 We already voted on the previous meeting on the general desire to see prefix in the main gentoo-x86 portage tree 21:26:45 leio, the question today is do we accept the technical proposition that is made to us today? 21:26:52 leio, but you can abstain 21:26:56 this is ok 21:27:01 thanks for clarification, good for summary 21:27:07 Betelgeuse, do we have a yea from you? 21:28:24 right now we have 4 yes, 1 abstention, and one that I think is a yes but would like confirmation ( Betelgeuse) 21:28:28 Calchan: I will abstain from voting on the PMS patch itself as I haven't read/seen any follow up with pms committers 21:28:50 Betelgeuse, ok, how do we count you though? 21:29:00 for summary purposes only 21:29:08 because we already have a majority 21:29:31 Calchan: If you clarify the vote as being about the patch: abstain 21:29:36 We already voted on intentions 21:30:08 I'm unclear on what is that technical proposition that is made to us today - is it the PMS patch at http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_62b5df924d6e9e74c94149e7e7f17d23.xml ? 21:30:14 Betelgeuse, ok, although we have the PMS patch and lots of answers we didn't have previously 21:30:34 leio, PMS patch, all the answers in the thread, the portage branch 21:30:57 That's quite far reaching and hard or vague to summarize, but OK... 21:31:17 ok, then we have 4 yes and 2 abstentions 21:31:34 prefix can proceed to the tree 21:31:47 3.2 EAPI bump for prefix 21:31:56 we have the following choices: 21:32:02 3.2.1. Should we make a quick, prefix-specific EAPI bump? 21:32:10 3.2.2. Should we wrap together prefix plus whatever features of EAPI3 which are already ready into an intermediate EAPI and ship that now? 21:32:14 3.2.3. Should we add prefix to EAPI3 and ship it all together when what's missing of EAPI3 is ready? 21:32:33 does anybody need clarifications on the above propositions? 21:32:39 we can discuss a bit and then vote 21:32:45 I don't think 3.2.2. makes sense. It's easier to have an EAPI that only prefix devs need to care about or then having altogether useful EAPI 3. 21:32:54 Betelgeuse, agredd 21:33:20 so 3.2.1 means we rename EAPI 3 to EAPI 4? and EAPI 3 would be the prefix one? 21:33:35 ulm: We don't have to name EAPI N 21:33:38 ulm, I think the naming is just a cosmetic issue 21:33:43 ulm: It can be 2+prefix for example 21:33:47 we can decide that later 21:33:49 to make it clear 21:34:07 Betelgeuse: true, but integers make a nice scheme ;) 21:34:32 nicer than 2+prefix or 2/prefix or whatever 21:34:53 ulm, we could go 2.1 for example 21:35:02 Increasing integer strings seem easier to remember by developers (2+prefix would work now, but confusion starts with EAPI-3 then existing - does it include prefix support or not, etc) 21:35:24 but naming is naming, which option is the first question I suppose 21:35:35 problem with that is there are places in the tree that use EAPI as an int. 21:35:47 guys let's vote on the "what kind of bump first" we'll decide on the naming later, OK? 21:35:51 solar: those are QA violations 21:35:53 solar: is that so? eclasses? 21:36:04 Calchan: o.k. 21:36:21 ulm: I think some eclass and everywhere that checks for EAPI's <= 2 21:36:30 I vote for 3.2.1, aka let's make a quick bump now 21:36:50 3.2.1 from me, too 21:36:53 3.2.1 Yes as EAPI=3 21:37:07 Calchan: Do you know the latest opinion from grobian on this one? 21:37:21 Betelgeuse, last time I heard he didn't care much 21:37:27 3.2.1 or 3.2.3 for me, both work for me 21:37:28 grobian? 21:37:35 well 21:37:50 as I said, there is an option 3.2.4 21:38:04 dertobi123, you sound like my wife... ;o) pick just one... anyone 21:38:32 while 3.2.1 would be very very very cool, there is a little problem wrt to implementation, since Prefix Portage is autotool based, and normal Portage is not 21:38:41 Calchan: it's not to choose anyone ... 21:39:14 grobian, I'm not sure what difference you make between what you propose and 3.2.1 but go ahead and explain us 21:39:17 3.2.1 or 3.2.2 from me (it's not a yes/no vote, I can't just pick one) 21:39:21 hence 3.2.4: make a quick bump on EAPI that is upwards compatible with Prefix, and then get the full implementation sorted out lateron 21:39:58 grobian, full implementation of what? prefix? 21:40:04 if so what could change? 21:40:19 Calchan: if you guys go for 3.2.1 I need to work with zmedico for some time to get prefix branch merged with trunk, delaying EAPI3 21:40:46 in principle the prefix branch is ready and waiting 21:40:56 grobian, then why the possible delay? 21:41:28 grobian: any numbers? is it a matter of hours? days? 21:41:28 Calchan: because Prefix branch is based on trunk, not on the 2.1 branches, and uses a different build system 21:42:07 ulm: I think it is a bad idea to blindly rely on my python coding skills for ~arch of Gentoo Linux 21:42:16 simply like that 21:42:26 so zmedico needs to review 21:42:59 therefore we would like to have the specification available in the next EAPI 21:43:21 so we can use Prefix next to normal Gentoo 21:43:28 grobian, not a show stopper to me, get your thing in a working state and with the proper build system quick enough that it doesn't delay EAPI3 21:43:44 Well not delay by months 21:43:52 a month no-one notices 21:44:05 Calchan: if that's what you want, I can try and put the maximum efforts in it to get that done 21:44:08 grobian, then we'll take bets on who's ready first, if I lose you get whipped ;o) 21:44:26 Calchan: it'll be a joint with zmedico 21:44:35 so I'll always win 21:44:44 because the code is already there 21:45:09 nobody cares what I think, let's vote though 21:45:29 Calchan: see above 21:45:30 I'd be delighted with 3.2.1 21:45:30 could you guys please say again which one(s) you'd vote for even if there's more than one? 21:45:36 3.2.1 21:45:49 3.2.1 Yes as EAPI=3 21:45:53 under the assumption that the prefix team is going to be fast enough with the implementation 21:45:56 solar, thanks 21:46:00 and ulm 21:46:01 still 3.2.1 or 3.2.3 for me, both work for me 21:46:13 I'm for 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 21:46:25 we'll have to do a quick majority vote here, but no big deal 21:46:36 3.2.4 21:46:49 3.2.1 or 3.2.2 21:46:59 3.2.4 conflicts with your earlier decision this evening, by the way 21:47:33 Calchan: looks like we'll have to do a condorcet vote now ;) 21:47:51 ulm, no majority will be enough since it's not a secret vote 21:48:05 I'm missing one vote... who? 21:48:10 ah leio 21:48:14 ? 21:48:25 21:46> 3.2.1 or 3.2.2 21:48:42 ok, the results are: 21:48:55 3.2.1: 5 21:49:00 3.2.2: 2 21:49:05 3.2.3: 3 21:49:13 sorry 21:49:18 3.2.3: 1 21:49:28 3.2.4: 1 21:49:37 looks like 3.2.1 wins 21:49:59 barring any computational error from my pen&paper computer system 21:50:03 --- fox2mike_ is now known as fox2mike 21:50:26 so now we can discuss how we call it 21:50:34 --- fox2mike is now known as Guest9920 21:50:43 we already know solar wants to call it EAPI3 21:50:49 others? 21:50:54 != 3 21:50:59 let's call it EAPI 3 21:51:28 EAPI 3 21:51:33 eapi3 works for me, if we rename what was eapi3 to eapi4 21:51:43 dertobi123: agreed 21:51:57 I'd vote for some 2 < number < 3 21:51:59 like 2.1 21:52:37 FYI, currently Portage itself treats EAPI as an integer (unless I'm mistaken) 21:52:59 so we have 4 votes for EAPI3 and 2 against 21:53:05 EAPI3 it is then 21:53:31 * Calchan slaps ABCD with a PMS printout for speaking without voice :o) 21:53:35 ABCD: It should be fixed then 21:53:56 * ABCD also notes that this channel isn't +m... 21:54:08 ABCD, yes, we suck 21:54:09 right, it should be fixed, but by calling it 3 we don't risk any breakage 21:54:32 any more comments on the prefix topic? 21:54:38 Do we write EAPI-3, EAPI 3 or EAPI3? :) 21:54:39 ABCD: you're mistaken ;) 21:54:59 leio: EAPI=3 :p 21:55:11 grobian, congrats btw, you just got yourself and your team a shitload of work 21:55:19 yeah, thanks a lot! 21:55:41 heh 21:55:51 if there's no more comments on prefix then we'll move on 21:56:06 4. GLEPs 58, 59, 60 and 61 is moved to open floor, so: 21:56:11 5. mtime preservation 21:56:13 ysy 21:56:14 yay 21:56:50 does anybody want to discuss anything on this topics before we vote? 21:56:52 What's the opinion of pkg maintainers who need mtime preservation? 21:57:00 Do we have any around? 21:57:05 --- Calchan gives voice to ferringb 21:57:07 Betelgeuse: me ;) 21:57:23 ciaranm isn't here 21:57:24 ulm: yay remembered right then but wasn't sure 21:57:44 whoever you are, if you want to talk for paludis just ping me 21:57:52 Betelgeuse: the feature is really needed for several lisp packages 21:58:03 although you don't need voice to speak as we're not +m 21:58:28 ulm: Yes but what's your preferred way out of 5.n doing in ebuild side? 21:58:43 Betelgeuse: both 5.1 and 5.3 work 21:59:17 ulm, do I understand 5.1 works if it's made equal to 5.3 or works unconditionally? 21:59:20 5.2 would require that we change at least two eclasses and several (about 50?) ebuilds 21:59:38 5.2 seems like it's written in order to make us reject it 21:59:39 Calchan: it works unconditionally 21:59:47 ulm, ok thanks 22:00:23 solar, I find the solution rather elegant even if less practical than the others 22:00:39 --- Guest9920 is now known as fox2mike 22:00:55 I find the lack of stripping objects in the name of saving mtime to be stupid 22:01:18 do we want to vote now? I rebooted my pen&paper computer system 22:01:39 I am off to toilet, I will go with whatever ulm chooses as they are the ones using it 22:01:47 solar: so mtimes for stripped objects should be preserved too, in your opinion? 22:02:23 ulm, I'd say yes if we wanted to make it the right wa, the real question is do we? 22:02:25 ulm: as noted. Being that there is no consensus among PM devs. 5.3 seems ideal for now. 22:02:33 strip from toolchain has a --preserve-dates option btw 22:02:56 ok, solar votes 5.3, ulm and Betelgeuse 5.1 or 5.3, others> 22:03:01 ? 22:03:13 Calchan: I'd prefer 5.1 but 5.3 works too 22:03:25 ulm: the way 5.2 is written. It favors mtime over stripping. IE skip stripping it sounds like 22:03:42 ulm, I can count you as 5.1 if you want, my system has an eraser :o) 22:03:57 and limits it to a given eapi vs being retroactive and a basic feature of the PM 22:04:53 ulm? so you want 5.1, or 5.1 and 5.3? 22:05:13 and I vote 5.3 btw 22:05:21 Calchan: 5.1 with fallback to 5.3 ;) 22:05:34 5.3 wfm 22:05:40 leio? 22:06:02 abstain 22:06:07 ok 22:06:38 we have 2 for 5.1 and 5 for 5.3 22:06:58 so we'll document protage's behavior and will put that into PMS 22:07:08 Calchan: count me as 5.1 please 22:07:16 ulm, can you take care of that with for example zmedico ? 22:07:30 *sigh* yes 22:07:47 ulm, ah ok, so we have 2 for 5.1 and 3 for 5.3 22:08:01 into PMS as EAPI-0 clarification or? 22:08:29 leio: EAPI 4, unless we vote otherwise now 22:08:59 EAPI3+1 for me 22:09:06 =EAPI4 22:09:16 3 or 4 22:09:33 ah right, sticking that with prefix is a good idea 22:09:49 good idea 22:09:56 Calchan: can you write out how you counted who as to avoid any misunderstandings? 22:10:05 leio, ok 22:10:20 Betelgeuse and ulm 5.1 22:10:32 dertobi123, solar and Calchan 5.3 22:10:39 leio abstention 22:10:49 is it ok for everybody? 22:10:53 yes 22:10:57 I can go either way on 5.x 22:11:09 Calchan: then we don't have a decision? 22:11:24 Calchan: There's someone missing 22:11:27 solar, then make your mind and tell us 22:11:34 Nobody said anything about making it a new EAPI however 22:12:12 portage is not going to limit it's behavior to do this only-if-eapi>=3 22:12:17 solar, let's decouple the EAPI issue then 22:12:24 please lets. 22:12:27 solar: It wouldn't make any practical difference for portage and pkgcore 22:12:34 since they already comply 22:12:55 solar, the point would be to document what can be relied upon starting with EAPI3 22:12:56 ulm: right. But till this meeting nobody said anything about making it an EAPI change. 22:12:59 not changing enyhting 22:14:59 so, have we accepted 5.3 or what? 22:15:00 so, anybody who wants to reconsider his vote? solar? then we can discuss the eapi issue 22:15:13 Note that on 12th October meeting we re-opened what was known as EAPI-3 for mtime preservation 22:15:46 (but nvm) 22:16:32 solar? do you reconsider your vote or you keep 5.3? 22:17:46 I'm still in favor of 5.3 22:17:49 ok 22:17:53 On 12 October meeting we also voted "A: current Portage and Pkgcore behaviour, all mtimes are preserved" with a clear majority, was this topic re-opened since then? 22:18:18 leio: no, just clarifications to it 22:18:23 ok. 22:18:26 leio, the issue was about documenting 22:18:35 leio: Basically sub seconds involved 22:18:46 I need to go. For any remaining open topics and I don't think any remain. See email. 22:19:31 >grobian< hey, do you have quick links for the prefix support discussion thread and a link to the prefix portage branch, for the purpose of the meeting summary? 22:19:31 solar, thanks, I think we're good 22:20:28 we're done? 22:20:33 now the question is do we apply the documenttion change to all EAPIs retroactively? to the newly defined EAPI3? or to EAPI4? 22:20:47 3 22:20:51 dertobi123, no but we'll use his email 22:20:56 I vote 3 too 22:21:36 3 22:21:40 I vote EAPI3 or retroactively 22:21:48 dertobi123? 22:22:21 for all eapis retroactively makes sense for me, as that's what portage is doing for quite some time - but making it part of our new eapi-3 works as well 22:22:34 really it doesn't make any practical difference 22:22:37 thanks 22:22:53 so we have 5 votes for EAPI3 and 2 for retroactive 22:23:17 so basically "Since EAPI-3 this behaviour can be relied on in all PMS compliant package managers" 22:23:20 we'll define mtime preservation based on what portage does today in EAPI3 onwards 22:23:36 right 22:23:50 ack 22:23:52 and ulm you'll take care of the with whoever? is it ok? 22:24:08 Calchan: I'll talk to Zac 22:24:13 and anymore comments on this topic before we switch? 22:24:49 ACTION: ulm to talk with Zac about defining current portage behaviour for documenting in EAPI-3 22:24:59 thanks leio 22:25:07 and I understand we can move on 22:25:23 6.1 logs? summary?

(or should that wait until the next meeting? Portage already has support, but disabled for older EAPIs) 22:28:54 Calchan: all week 22:29:09 ABCD, not the time and place to do that, send an email to the list as usual 22:29:18 Calchan: okay 22:29:29 Betelgeuse, so let's see with solar what day in the week of the 4th he prefers 22:29:51 does anybody have a preference for a day in that week? 22:30:13 before friday 22:30:22 not me, but maybe we need to re-consider Monday if his meetings are always on Mondays? 22:30:32 (I mean not for just one meeting, but overall) 22:30:41 --> ulm__ (n=ulm@p4FD3F0D7.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #gentoo-council 22:30:43 leio, yes 22:30:51 what about starting a new doodle-poll for the january meeting?
