26 Topics:
27 ===========
28
29 - Short discussion of EAPI 3 progress.
30 Zac Medico(zmedico) commented that while no progress had been made, a
31 tracker bug had been made[1] for those interested in providing patches
32 for and tracking the progress of the EAPI 3 implementation. Ciaran
33 McCreesh noted that paludis is ready for EAPI 3 whenever the portage
34 implementation is finished.
35
36 - Default contents of ACCEPT_LICENSE(license filtering).
37 GLEP23[2] provided a method for users to select what licenses they are
38 willing to accept based on a ACCEPT_LICENSE configuration variable. In
39 addition it provided for 'license groups' so users could accept or
40 decline to use software of a certain license type. What GLEP 23 did not
41 specify was the default value of ACCEPT_LICENSE.
42
43 Conclusion:
44 The council unanimously voted to have the default ACCEPT_LICENSE
45 value as ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA".
46
47 - BASH 4 in EAPI 3.
48 There were three parts to this topic:
49 1) Unlocking of feature requests for EAPI 3.
50 2) Allowing BASH 4 features in EAPI 3 ebuilds.
51 3) Allowing BASH 4 features in all ebuilds with EAPIs >= 3 after a
52 fixed amount of time in gentoo-x86(Overlays could begin use
53 immediately).
54
55 Conclusion:
56 By a 4-3 decision the council voted not to open the feature list for
57 EAPI 3.
58
59 - The banning of igli(Steve Long) from #gentoo-council.
60 Tiziano Muller(dev-zero) banned igli from #-council for what he called
61 repeated trolling after private warnings. The ban was later reversed by
62 Doug Goldstein(Cardoe) because it had not been put to a council vote as
63 all bans in #-council are.
64
65 Conclusion:
66 No decision yet, the council decided to discuss this issue privately
67 on the council@ alias so that precious meeting time is not spent.
68
69 - Define EAPI development/deployment cycles.
70 Various Council members expressed support for Ciaran McCreesh's EAPI
71 development guidelines as outlined in [3]. However, the discussion
72 reached no conclusion and quickly spiraled into a discussion of the
73 removal of Ciaran McCreesh's bugzilla privileges.
74
75 - Removal of Ciaran McCreesh's(ciaranm) bugzilla permissions.
76 At some point in the last year ciaranm's bugzilla permissions were
77 removed. He filed a bug about the issue(#273759) and was talking about
78 moving PMS off of Gentoo Infrastructure, a move that some council
79 members were strongly opposed to. When asked about the permissions,
80 Ciaran had no objections to waiting a few days for the infra to complete
81 an investigation into who removed the access and for what reason.
82
83 Conclusion:
84 The council voted to reinstate Ciaran's editbugs privileges. Ned
85 Ludd (solar) noted that infra will investigate who removed the privileges
86 in the first place, and asked for not changing bugzilla privileges before
87 this is completed.

151 12:05 < trelane> Cardoe: identify why they're quitting and solve that problem.
152 12:06 < trelane> tanderson: regarding your note on quoting the council, I will ensure that I quote from the actual council logs in the future. Please note there was no intent to deceive there, or reword a council vote, merely I chose to use the summary rather than an extensive log, only part of which was essential to my point.
153 12:07 < musikc> ping dev-zero
154 12:07 <@Cardoe> trelane: too much time spent babysitting and being forced to read everyone's opinion of every damn thing even though there really should only be a select few that have a say
155 12:07 <@Cardoe> they present it
156 12:07 <@Cardoe> filter what's worth hearing
157 12:07 <@Cardoe> and be done
158 12:08 < trelane> Cardoe: well, lets fix that problem then.
159 12:08 < trelane> fixing that sort of, and I cannot overstate how massive it is based on my own experience would do much to make this council, and the next council's life easier
160 12:09 * trelane figures the word problem should have been included up there someplace (insert it as you see fit)
161 12:09 <@Cardoe> unfortunately some people don't want to fix it
162 12:09 < trelane> Cardoe: I'm having the same experience from a Funtoo perspective. The problem persons for me (and probably for you as well) are not even gentoo developers.
163 12:09 <@Cardoe> and as such the rest of us are punished
164 12:09 < bonsaikitten> so fix them. with two bricks.
165 12:10 <@Cardoe> so I will not be running and instead will write code instead of babysit
166 12:10 < trelane> I understand your frustration, however I have heard nearly the same complaint verbatim from one of the original council members as to the reason why he quit.
167 12:10 <@Cardoe> trelane: bonsaikitten: feel free to say ciaranm is the problem. however, you guys are probably a bit biased and I will gladly say ciaranm is not the problem.
168 12:11 -!- jlec [n=jlec@××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××.de] has joined #gentoo-council
169 12:12 < trelane> It's not just Ciaran. When I sent my thoughts on the paludis problem to -dev, I mentioned that there were quite a few problems, but that it seemed they centered around Paludis and Exherbo personalities
170 12:12 < trelane> I absolutely think Ciaran needs to go, and nothing above should be read otherwise.
171 12:12 <@Cardoe> While he doesn't help the problem and does tend to fan the flames (i.e. a thread goes from 10 posts to 60 posts cause every starts arguing)
172 12:12 <@Cardoe> But there's other people that are the problem
173 12:12 < trelane> the problem is the arguments have become religious
174 12:12 <@Cardoe> The people unqualified to put their two cents in
175 12:13 < trelane> I agree, but I have to note that Ciaran is a magnet for such things.
176 12:14 < trelane> the eventual solution is to remove one side of the argument, and the board has already in part done this
177 12:14 <+tanderson> trelane: I know, just making sure you understand that the summaries are *quite* simplified
178 12:15 <+tanderson> I didn't view you as twisting the summary ;)
179 12:15 < trelane> tanderson: thanks, I will absolutely bear that in mind in the future and make sure I cite any specific clarifying statements from the council :)
180 12:15 < trelane> tanderson: I didn't think you did, but as we're in a text medium I wanted to make sure that you were aware that no malice was intended.
181 12:15 <+tanderson> yup
182 12:15 -!- mode/#gentoo-council [-b %igli!*@*] by Cardoe
183 12:16 <@Cardoe> dev-zero: we've in the past decided that any bans need to be brought up to the other council members and e-mailed out the the council@g.o alias
184 12:16 <@Cardoe> dev-zero: since you didn't do so, I am removing the ban until you discuss it with the rest of us
185 12:18 <@dev-zero> Cardoe: hey, you don't really think that going through all meeting summaries is a way to document things, do you?
186 12:19 <@dev-zero> musikc: pong?
187 12:19 <+tanderson> Cardoe: does it look like you'll be here for the meeting?
188 12:19 < musikc> dev-zero, i apologize, i need to get something completed at RL work. i shall return in a bit

192 12:25 <@Cardoe> dev-zero: ?
193 12:26 <@dev-zero> Cardoe: sorry, I didn't find any reference to such a rule
194 12:27 <@Cardoe> dev-zero: it's how it's always been done.
195 12:27 <@Cardoe> dev-zero: since we decide everything as a group
196 12:27 <@Cardoe> dev-zero: never has there been a decision on anything council "owned" by just one council member
197 12:27 < Philantrop> Cardoe: Was that done when I was banned from here?
198 12:28 <@Cardoe> Philantrop: yes it was
199 12:28 < Philantrop> Cardoe: Ah, ok, thanks.
200 12:28 <@Cardoe> Philantrop: I believe the vote was 4-3
201 12:28 <@Cardoe> Philantrop: I can look it up if you'd like
202 12:28 < Philantrop> Cardoe: Doesn't really matter but thanks.
203 12:29 <@dev-zero> Cardoe: is it documented in a meeting summary?
204 12:29 < mama> that's about that supposedly nazi response to a nazi blogpost ban?

209 12:31 <@dev-zero> Cardoe: ah, ok
210 12:31 < mama> I still haven't seen that one discussed and voted.
211 12:31 <@dev-zero> Cardoe: another issue, btw, did you read my comment to your meeting organization proposal?
212 12:33 <@Cardoe> dev-zero: on the ML or where?
213 12:33 <@Cardoe> dev-zero: wrt to igli. bring it to vote and we can make it happen.
214 12:34 <@Cardoe> dev-zero: however, I think if we +m, it'll be a non-issue

229 14:17 < ciaranm> greatest source of noise? bonsaikitten?
230 14:18 < yngwin> no, you
231 14:18 < ciaranm> yes, because i produce noise. pms. devmanual. eselect. just noise.
232 14:19 < scarabeus> please not here
233 14:20 <@dev-zero> jup
234 14:20 < ciaranm> i'm sorry, i find yngwin's implications extremely offensive
235 14:20 * yngwin is already finished feeding the trolls :)
236 14:21 <@dev-zero> ciaranm: agreed, yes
237 14:21 < ciaranm> i don't give a crap whether you like me... but suggesting that nothing useful comes from either me or the people certain trolls like to think is my cabal is going a bit far...
238 14:21 <@dev-zero> yngwin: the problem is that many problems in eapi seem to be easy at first glance but they aren't
239 14:22 < yngwin> i didnt say that
240 14:23 <@dev-zero> trelane: the problem of being a council member is that no matter what you do, some people will hate you afterwards
241 14:24 < dleverton> yngwin: trelane agreed with Cardoe when he said "But there's other people that are the problem", and still claimed that Ciaran should be punished for it
242 14:24 <@dev-zero> trelane: it's not a general problem of the council that is, but being some kind of lead of something in general

295 16:02 <@leio> here
296 16:02 <@ulm> still here :)
297 16:02 <@dertobi123> <-
298 16:02 <@Cardoe> tanderson|na: yeah I'm here.
299 16:02 -!- mode/#gentoo-council [+m] by Cardoe
300 16:03 <+tanderson|na> Cardoe: k, now I can just idly watch what's going on :P
301 16:03 -!- You're now known as tanderson
302 16:03 <@Cardoe> We're all here.
303 16:03 <@dev-zero> and I assume Betelgeuse is still here
304 16:03 <@Cardoe> dev-zero: you made the agenda.. call the first item.
305 16:03 <@dev-zero> good, let's start
306 16:04 <@dev-zero> EAPI-3 progress
307 16:04 <@Betelgeuse> \o/
308 16:04 <@dev-zero> there's no progress so far
309 16:04 -!- mode/#gentoo-council [+v zmedico] by Cardoe
310 16:04 -!- mode/#gentoo-council [+v ciaranm] by Cardoe
311 16:04 <@dev-zero> but Zac provided a tracker bug
312 16:04 <@dev-zero> https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273620
313 16:04 <@Cardoe> any pkgcore people send me a query
314 16:04 <@dev-zero> progress in portage, that is
315 16:05 -!- milobit [n=milobit@×××××××××××××××××.org] has joined #gentoo-council
316 16:05 <@dev-zero> Cardoe: I don't think we agreed on moderation, but it's ok
317 16:05 <+ciaranm> paludis is good to go whenever
318 16:05 <@dev-zero> ciaranm: so, next release will contain eapi-3 support?
319 16:06 <@dev-zero> ciaranm: or are you waiting on portage's implementation of certain things to be compatible?
320 16:06 <+ciaranm> dev-zero: i'm not putting a release out with eapi 3 stuff enabled until portage is done
321 16:06 <@Betelgeuse> well you can't claim eapi-3 support before it's approved
322 16:06 <+tanderson> Weren't we going to wait until portage was done to see if portage would get everything?
323 16:06 <@Betelgeuse> doubtful we will do that without Portage support but could of course
324 16:06 <+tanderson> "pending portage support in time" was the phrase iirc
325 16:07 <+ciaranm> we have eapi 3 support enabled but we've marked the eapi config file for 3 as noinst, so it'll be used for test cases etc but not actually be installed
326 16:07 <@Cardoe> dev-zero: we had 3 in favor and 2 against. 2 people never commented
327 16:07 <@Cardoe> dev-zero: oops. sorry 3 vs 3
328 16:08 <@Cardoe> 1 person never commented
329 16:08 <@Cardoe> leio
330 16:08 -!- maekke [n=maekke@gentoo/developer/maekke] has joined #gentoo-council
331 16:08 <@leio> Maybe it should have been discussed in gentoo-council to keep up during my temporary busier times. I am from the camp to moderate when necessary only
332 16:09 <@Cardoe> leio: it was discussed on gentoo-council, gentoo-dev and I e-mailed it to the council members individually
333 16:09 -!- mode/#gentoo-council [-m] by Cardoe
334 16:09 <@dertobi123> zmedico: so we can expect some progress within the next 2 weeks (for next meeting)? how's your recruit doing?
335 16:09 <@Cardoe> Well then.. moderation loses.. 4 to 3
336 16:09 <@Cardoe> Ok. Well we've covered EAPI-3..
337 16:10 <@Cardoe> Default ACCEPT_LICENSE is the next item on the list.
338 16:10 <@dev-zero> Cardoe: just a second, please
339 16:10 <@dev-zero> Cardoe: there's a minor issue concerning implementation of eapi-3
340 16:10 <@Betelgeuse> Cardoe: I don't remember seeing any individual mails?
341 16:10 <@dev-zero> which needs coordination of the pm devs
342 16:11 <@Cardoe> Betelgeuse: it was sent to the council@g.o alias which e-mails each of you guys individually.
343 16:11 <@leio> for me council alias is much better than individual, ftr
344 16:11 <@dev-zero> namely the vdb entry for the slot-dep-operators
345 16:11 <+ciaranm> zmedico: since you're around... what dev-zero is talking about is the implementation of := deps. did you see the stuff about how to implement that for saving to vdb?
346 16:11 <+zmedico> dertobi123: yeah, I expect to get started on it myself and make some significant progress before the next meeting. not sure about recruits but we'll see.
347 16:11 <+ciaranm> zmedico: rewriting foo/bar:= to foo/bar:=1 at install time, that is
348 16:11 <@dertobi123> zmedico: great :)
349 16:12 <@Cardoe> dev-zero: you said it yourself. Its something for the pm devs to discuss
350 16:12 <@Cardoe> Not the council
351 16:12 <@Cardoe> moving on folks
352 16:12 <@dev-zero> Cardoe: it's something we have to coordinate
353 16:12 <@Cardoe> dev-zero: We're technical people. Not baby sitters to watch people talk.
354 16:12 <@dev-zero> Cardoe: make them aware of it is sufficient, yes
355 16:13 <@Cardoe> They're aware. And they're talking.
356 16:13 <@Cardoe> Moving on
357 16:13 <@dev-zero> good, next point
358 16:13 <+zmedico> ciaranm: I had just assumed that it would collapse to a normal slot dep bug the :=slot seems good
359 16:13 -!- igli [n=igli@fu/coder/igli] has joined #gentoo-council
360 16:13 <@dev-zero> ACCEPT_LICENSE
361 16:13 <@Cardoe> dev-zero: please include the proposed the default in the chat log
362 16:14 <@dev-zero> then I need a sec to dig it out
363 16:14 <@leio> * -@EULA
364 16:14 <@dev-zero> jup
365 16:14 <@dev-zero> that was it
366 16:14 -!- graaff [n=graaff@gentoo/developer/graaff] has quit ["Leaving"]
367 16:15 <@dev-zero> does someone not want that to be the default?
368 16:15 <@leio> zmedico: that will work as far as portage is concerned, right?
369 16:15 -!- WilliamH [n=william@gentoo/developer/williamh] has joined #gentoo-council
370 16:15 <@ulm> dev-zero: i'm a bit sceptical about the -EULA part
371 16:15 <+zmedico> leio: yeah, it's a new EAPI and so we can change syntax as necessary
372 16:15 <@lu_zero> ulm why?
373 16:15 -!- The_Paya [n=the_paya@gentoo/developer/thepaya] has quit [Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)]
374 16:16 <@leio> zmedico: it's what?...
375 16:16 -!- Arfrever [n=Arfrever@gentoo/developer/arfrever] has joined #gentoo-council
376 16:16 <+zmedico> leio: oh, * -@EULA
377 16:16 <+zmedico> that seems fine
378 16:16 <@ulm> lu_zero: eulas are not legally binding in most countries, so it's sort of pointless to exclude these packages
379 16:16 <@ulm> but IANAL
380 16:16 <+zmedico> leio: just have to make sure the @EULA group is populated
381 16:17 <@dev-zero> ulm: true, but I'd rather be on the safe side
382 16:17 <@leio> ok, then I have nothing against it, as long as users can have ACCEPT_LICENSES="*" in their make.conf and have everything accepted
383 16:17 <@Betelgeuse> ulm: Better to be aware that it's bad upstream stuff.
384 16:17 <+zmedico> leio: yeah, seems good
385 16:17 <@lu_zero> we could leave a commented line with * -@EULA
386 16:17 <@dev-zero> ulm: and as pointed out by some it's questionable how that end-user in EULA should work in the *nix world anyway
387 16:17 -!- candybar [n=foo@unaffiliated/candybar] has joined #gentoo-council
388 16:18 <@ulm> dev-zero: i don't have a very strong opinion on it
389 16:18 <@dev-zero> lu_zero: I'd not do that, it's then rather taken as an example
390 16:19 <@lu_zero> both should fit for me
391 16:19 <@dev-zero> ok then
392 16:20 <@dev-zero> decision is then: have ACCEPT_LICENSES="* -@EULA"
393 16:20 <@dev-zero> is that correct?
394 16:20 <@leio> yes
395 16:20 <@lu_zero> yup
396 16:20 <@dertobi123> yep
397 16:20 <@dev-zero> yes
398 16:20 <@ulm> yes
399 16:20 <@dev-zero> ok, next item
400 16:20 <@dev-zero> Bash-4 in EAPI-3
401 16:21 <@dev-zero> some already commented it
402 16:21 <@dertobi123> simply put no for the reasons stated by several people on -dev
403 16:21 <@dev-zero> I'd second that
404 16:21 * lu_zero is against that as well
405 16:21 <+tanderson> dertobi123: would you state them here for completeness? :)
406 16:22 <@dertobi123> "I'm against re-opening the feature list for EAPI-3, let's get EAPI-3
407 16:22 <@dertobi123> finally implemented and put this on the agenda for EAPI-4. I don't see
408 16:22 <@dertobi123> the pressure to allow bash-4.0 stuff now."
409 16:22 <@Cardoe> I was already in favor of ACCEPT_LICENSES="* -@EULA" for the record.
410 16:22 <+tanderson> dertobi123: thanks
411 16:22 <@Cardoe> I'm against bash-4 in EAPI-3 as well
412 16:22 <@dev-zero> tanderson: for me it's basically the same reason
413 16:22 <@Betelgeuse> I am against bash-4.
414 16:22 <@leio> I'm in favour or re-opening feature list, I'm against bash-4 in EAPI-3
415 16:23 <@ulm> ^^ same for me
416 16:23 <@ulm> re-open for zero-cost features
417 16:23 <@dev-zero> good, since the question was about bash-4 in eapi-3 and re-opening the feature list a requirement I think we have decision
418 16:24 <@Betelgeuse> Re-open only for features with PMS text and Portage patches submitted.
419 16:24 <+ciaranm> and this is where decisions go to die
420 16:24 <@Betelgeuse> But I still don't see the much reason to do that. There's no reason that EAPI 4 will have to take ages.
421 16:24 <@ulm> Betelgeuse: or already implemented in portage ;)
422 16:25 * dertobi123 sighs ... not once again, please
423 16:25 <@dev-zero> ok, next item
424 16:25 <@leio> anyway, the official request from the council to put on agenda list back in june 1st was
425 16:25 <@leio> Please vote on:
426 16:25 <@leio> * Temporary unlocking of list of features of EAPI="3"
427 16:25 <@leio> * Allowing bash-4.0 features in EAPI="3" ebuilds
428 16:25 <@leio> * Temporary disallowing of adding bash-4.0 features to ebuilds in
429 16:25 <@leio> gentoo-x86 repository until ${TIME:-1 month} has passed since
430 16:25 <@leio> stabilization of =app-shells/bash-4.0* on all architectures.
431 16:26 <@ulm> leio: these are three separate points?
432 16:26 <@Betelgeuse> I unloacking, no IN EAPI 3, no bash-4.0 in tree at all before council approval.
433 16:26 <@Betelgeuse> s/I/No/
434 16:26 <@Cardoe> I'm opened to re-opening EAPI-3 as long as all requests for additions contain documentation patches and Portage patches. Otherwise, no.
435 16:26 < Arfrever> Maybe minimal supported version of bash shouldn't at all be specified in PMS?
436 16:26 <@lu_zero> I second Betelgeuse
437 16:27 <@dev-zero> I'm against reopening and therefore no bash-4 in eapi-3 and therefore no bash-4 in the tree
438 16:27 <@Betelgeuse> Arfrever: PMS specifies what ebuilds can expect from the env.
439 16:27 < Arfrever> There are many ebuilds using += ...
440 16:27 <@ulm> yes for unlocking, no for bash-4 features in EAPI 3
441 16:27 <@dertobi123> i second Betelgeuse, too
442 16:29 <@leio> Cardoe, ulm and leio are in favour of re-opening EAPI-3 (some with conditionals); Betelgeuse, lu_zero, dev-zero and dertobi123 are against re-opening EAPI-3.
443 16:29 <@ulm> Arfrever: open a bug so they can get fixed
444 16:29 <@leio> 4 to 3, lets move on
445 16:29 <@Cardoe> 4 to 3.. done. move on
446 16:29 <@dev-zero> good
447 16:29 < Arfrever> Betelgeuse: Anyway, patches for Portage should be sufficient. Only small amount of people understand file format used by PMS sources.
448 16:30 < Arfrever> ulm: I would rather open a bug for PMS being out-of-date...
449 16:30 <@lu_zero> Arfrever could work
450 16:31 <+ciaranm> pms accurately reflects the official decision made concerning bash-3...
451 16:31 <@Betelgeuse> Should have a progmmatically usable bash parser for repoman.
452 16:32 <@leio> Arfrever: bash-3.2 and such could be more controversial. bash-4 is pretty clear - it isn't even stable yet, people are saying it only recently still had bugs blocking stabilization and maybe still do, etc
453 16:32 < Arfrever> leio: bash-4 works very stably (it only lacks stable keywords).
454 16:33 <@lu_zero> Arfrever does it solve something that makes it a necessity?
455 16:33 <@leio> I don't particularly agree with this being tied to EAPI's, but EAPI-3 was voted to be still feature-locked, lets move on. Maybe a different discussion approach (untied to EAPI-3) could lead to some interesting discussion
456 16:33 <@leio> (on the mailing list)
457 16:33 <@dev-zero> jup, agreed
458 16:33 < Polynomial-C> The anount of bugs reported to the bash-ml decreased significantly in the last couple of weeks
459 16:33 <@leio> meanwhile I suggest people interested to push bash-4 stable
460 16:34 <@Betelgeuse> And they can work on GLEP 55 too.
461 16:34 < Arfrever> lu_zero: ${variable^^} and associative arrays would allow to solve some problems in some ebuilds maintained by me.
462 16:34 < igli> ydiw
463 16:34 <@lu_zero> Arfrever good to know please document it and let's start a discussion in ml =)
464 16:34 <@ulm> leio: yes, i wouldn't even think about allowing it in the tree before bash-4 is stable on all major archs
465 16:34 <@leio> Next topic: Define EAPI development/deployment cycles
466 16:35 <@Betelgeuse> For EAPI there's only one bottleneck atm and it's getting Portage to have code.
467 16:35 < Arfrever> lu_zero: So I should copy a part of bash-4's ChangeLog/NEWS file?
468 16:35 <@Betelgeuse> Otherwise it seems to work fine.
469 16:35 <@dev-zero> Arfrever: no, how it can be used in ebuilds
470 16:35 <@lu_zero> Arfrever a link probably could fit =)
471 16:36 <@dertobi123> leio: that's a non-topic for now from my pov. i'd like to see some discussion on-list before we can discuss something in our meeting.
472 16:36 <@dev-zero> Arfrever: or how you'd use it in your ebuilds
473 16:37 <@leio> dertobi123: pretty much the same here, just trying to speed things up in the spirit of Cardoe and you getting to sleep and me getting back to doing useful project proposal and code writing :)
474 16:37 < Arfrever> dev-zero: ${variable^^} and ${variable,,} allow to avoid using 'tr [[:lower:]] [[:upper:]]' / 'tr [[:upper:]] [[:lower:]]'
475 16:37 <@dev-zero> Arfrever: on ml please
476 16:37 <@dev-zero> ok, next item
477 16:37 <@dev-zero> it's not on the agenda, I'm afraid
478 16:38 <@Cardoe> Here it goes then
479 16:38 <@Cardoe> igli was banned in this channel by a council member.
480 16:38 <@Cardoe> user-rel has asked us to review it
481 16:38 <@lu_zero> why he was banned?
482 16:38 < Arfrever> dev-zero: So if I provide (in mailing list) examples about using bash-4 features in ebuilds, there will be a chance for repeating voting on this proposition?
483 16:38 <@Cardoe> so if anyone has any comments on whether he should be banned or not.
484 16:39 < trelane> (assuming this is based on rules of order I'd like to request a few minutes of the coucil's time if permissible on this issue)
485 16:39 <@Cardoe> Arfrever: yes.
486 16:39 <@Betelgeuse> Cardoe: do you have logs?
487 16:39 <@Cardoe> Betelgeuse: I don't
488 16:39 <+tanderson> I do.
489 16:39 <@dev-zero> and I have excerpts
490 16:39 <@lu_zero> provide them please ^^
491 16:39 <@dertobi123> ack ...
492 16:39 <+tanderson> h/o
493 16:39 <@Cardoe> Also council members should consider +q vs +b
494 16:40 <@Cardoe> While we wait for the logs...
495 16:40 <@dev-zero> http://dev.gentoo.org/~dev-zero/council/igli.txt
496 16:40 <@lu_zero> I'd also consider having #-council +m while not used
497 16:41 < igli> hmm
498 16:41 <@leio> I'd like the channel to stay as a place to freely interact with your elected council members while not in use for other purposes
499 16:41 <@dev-zero> jup, me too
500 16:41 <+tanderson> http://dev.gentoo.org/~gentoofan23/%23gentoo-council.06-10.log
501 16:41 <@Betelgeuse> dev-zero: I don't see the actual ban there.
502 16:41 <@Cardoe> I'd be against +m while its not used
503 16:41 <@dertobi123> leio: agreed ...
504 16:41 <+tanderson> leio: ++
505 16:41 <@Betelgeuse> tanderson: permissions
506 16:41 <@dertobi123> Betelgeuse: /me too
507 16:42 <+tanderson> Betelgeuse: gah
508 16:42 <@lu_zero> I saw it squatted lots of times
509 16:42 <@lu_zero> but I didn't care much
510 16:42 <@leio> The ban happened while igli was not in the channel
511 16:42 <@lu_zero> tanderson please make it accessible ^^
512 16:42 < igli> yeah 8 hours later.
513 16:42 <+tanderson> Betelgeuse: fixed
514 16:42 <@dev-zero> Betelgeuse: ok, added
515 16:42 <+tanderson> lu_zero: yeah, irssi likes saving it -rw------- apparently
516 16:42 <@dertobi123> leio: quite useless ban, then ...
517 16:43 <@dev-zero> not really, maybe I can explain
518 16:43 <@dertobi123> you should
519 16:43 <@dev-zero> good
520 16:43 < igli> I said an awful lot more than that very partial excerpt
521 16:43 <@dev-zero> the point is that while discussing stuff he repeatedly insults people (whether willingly or not)
522 16:43 <@dev-zero> igli: that's true
523 16:43 <@dev-zero> igli: this is why there's the log from tanderson and the excerpts from me
524 16:44 <+tanderson> igli: the full log is probably a better indication of what went on :)
525 16:44 < igli> and others were far more off-topic afaik, tho i have several on /ignore ofc
526 16:44 < igli> indeed
527 16:44 < igli> and having this sprung on me doesn't exactly make me feel like there's an impartial process going on, for the record.
528 16:44 <@dev-zero> the problem is not being off-topic, the problem is that you insult people repeatedly
529 16:45 <@Cardoe> I'd say this channel should be opened while not used by council meetings. When used by council meetings, anyone that proves themselves distruptful can find themselves on the +q list. I'm against banning the very people we're suppose to work with and decide on issues.
530 16:45 < igli> I insult a lot less than some others. and only when I am being insulted repeatedly
531 16:45 <@Betelgeuse> I don't see the council having to be impartial.
532 16:45 <@dev-zero> and the reason why I banned him while not being around is because he keeps showing on and doing it again and again
533 16:45 <@Betelgeuse> We are not judges.
534 16:45 <@dev-zero> Cardoe: fully agree
535 16:45 <@Betelgeuse> Cardoe: seems fine
536 16:45 < igli> are you not judging my behaviour atm?
537 16:45 <@Betelgeuse> dev-zero: As there wasn't anything pressing it would have been prudent to consult with others first.
538 16:46 <@Betelgeuse> So we don't have to use council meeting time on these types of things.
539 16:46 <@dev-zero> Betelgeuse: true
540 16:46 <@dertobi123> Cardoe: agreed
541 16:46 <@Cardoe> trelane wishes to say something on igli's behalf. So hopefully, he can say his piece and this won't spiral out of control.
542 16:46 <@dev-zero> Betelgeuse: and I'm sorry for that
543 16:46 < igli> please note that trelane does not represent me
544 16:46 <@Cardoe> You know what. Betelgeuse is right.
545 16:46 <@ulm> Cardoe: i agree too
546 16:46 <@Cardoe> let's take this to e-mail.
547 16:46 <@Cardoe> and be done with it.
548 16:46 <@lu_zero> ok
549 16:47 <@Cardoe> next item
550 16:47 < igli> I thought it had been dealt with in #-user-rel <end>
551 16:47 < trelane> Cardoe: I'm fine with that. Would you mind submitting my comments as my comments to the -council list then?
552 16:47 <@Cardoe> trelane: you can e-mail council@g.o if you think it's relevant.
553 16:47 <@Betelgeuse> Let's just ack that this wasn't handled in the best way and hopefully the parties involved can get the matter solved.
554 16:47 <@dev-zero> igli: it's still in-progress
555 16:47 < igli> fine dev-zero, i refer you to what i said in there then.
556 16:48 <@Betelgeuse> If there's actually something to vote on then we can get back to the issue.
557 16:49 <@Cardoe> ok. any other topics?
558 16:49 <@dev-zero> well, next issue would be the EAPI development/deployment cicle
559 16:49 <@dev-zero> Cardoe: you said you don't want to have it discussed here
560 16:49 <@dev-zero> dertobi123: you made some good comments already
561 16:49 <@dev-zero> do we want to discuss it here or not?
562 16:49 <@dertobi123> 22:36 <@dertobi123> leio: that's a non-topic for now from my pov. i'd like to see some discussion on-list before we can discuss something in our meeting.
563 16:50 <@dertobi123> it would be useful to discuss this on-list to get it rolling
564 16:50 <@Betelgeuse> I already said my opinion about EAPI development.
565 16:50 <@Betelgeuse> As discussing process won't get code to Portage any faster.
566 16:50 <@leio> Maybe we should select someone to make sure the discussion is actually happening
567 16:50 <@Betelgeuse> Time better spent coding the actual features.
568 16:50 <@dertobi123> as for development ciaranm described a quite useful process it seems which we could try for eapi-4
569 16:50 <@dev-zero> leio: agreed
570 16:50 <@leio> if there is any to be had
571 16:50 -!- igli [n=igli@fu/coder/igli] has left #gentoo-council ["it's not the code it's the borked process. *disgusted at the blatant politicking*"]
572 16:51 <@dev-zero> ^^ no comments
573 16:51 <+ciaranm> actually... one thing...
574 16:51 <@leio> eapi-3 process seemed fine to me with two exceptions - implementation time and too many different places things got recorded
575 16:51 < trelane> dev-zero: I've handled firearms for a long time, I can correctly identify when someone has shot themselves in the foot.
576 16:51 <@dev-zero> leio: jup, noted
577 16:51 <@Cardoe> We can give ciaranm's suggestion a go for eapi-4. But otherwise that all depends on the list.
578 16:51 <+ciaranm> i think we might have to move pms off gentoo infrastructure... so what i said, but github instead of bugzilla?
579 16:52 <@Cardoe> We keep trying to discuss HOW to do EAPI development.. the issue is writing code.
580 16:52 <@dertobi123> ciaranm: for what reason?
581 16:52 <+ciaranm> i suspect most people have accounts on github already, and they do bug tracking now...
582 16:52 <@Cardoe> discussing and debating everything won't implement code
583 16:52 <@ulm> ciaranm: why?
584 16:52 <@leio> ciaranm: What has GIT and github to do with anything of that?
585 16:52 <+ciaranm> the short story, bug 273759
586 16:52 -!- The_Paya [n=the_paya@190.189.19.103] has joined #gentoo-council
587 16:52 < Willikins> ciaranm: https://bugs.gentoo.org/273759 "I should be able to edit PMS bugs"; Gentoo Infrastructure, Other; RESO, NEED; ciaran.mccreesh@××××××××××.com:infra-bugs@g.o
588 16:53 <+ciaranm> the longer version: when we moved to gentoo infra, i was given various assurances by robbat2
589 16:53 <@ulm> i'm strictly against this, PMS is central to Gentoo and should be hosted on our infrastructure
590 16:53 <+ciaranm> among those being that i wouldn't have to worry about infra dicking around with permissions, privs etc
591 16:53 <@dev-zero> ulm: but then all people working on it should have appropriate access
592 16:53 <+ciaranm> it looks like infra's no longer prepared to stick to that, so rather than get into an argument with them i think it'd be easier if we just moved elsewhere
593 16:53 <@dertobi123> ulm++ and dev-zero++, too
594 16:53 <@ulm> dev-zero: that's not a reason to move it away from our infra
595 16:53 <+tanderson> ciaranm: just wait a bit for infra to sort things out
596 16:54 <+ciaranm> infra have decided that, contrary to what was promised when we moved to gentoo hardware, they're going to screw us around. i don't have time to deal with that.
597 16:54 <@leio> I'm not sure ciaranm should have the access that gives him the ability to decide if bugs and PMS requests are valid or not
598 16:54 <@Betelgeuse> I can switch bugzilla prives if we vote here.
599 16:54 <@dev-zero> ulm: well, we've always been a project with non-developer contributors, moving the project to a neutral platform would guarantee access for everyone
600 16:55 <+ciaranm> Betelgeuse: they've already been switched once for that, and they got removed with no-one telling me
601 16:55 <+ciaranm> Betelgeuse: oi
602 16:55 <+ciaranm> gah
603 16:55 <@dev-zero> ulm: but in general I agree with you that PMS is a central project for Gentoo and should be hosted on our infra
604 16:55 <+ciaranm> Betelgeuse: i'm sceptical about keeping things on gentoo infrastructure if it's just going to lead to this kind of mess again
605 16:55 <@ulm> dev-zero: the access problems can be sorted out
606 16:55 -!- hkBst [n=hkBst@gentoo/developer/hkbst] has quit [Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)]
607 16:55 <@dertobi123> ulm: exactly.
608 16:55 <@Betelgeuse> ciaranm: Well if an infra member defies a council decision without having a security etc reason then they need a devrel bug filed.
609 16:55 <@dev-zero> ulm: sure, we should just avoid the bureaucracy needed now
610 16:55 < reavertm> dev-zero: everyone can clone and send patches already btw
611 16:56 <@dev-zero> reavertm: yes, I know
612 16:56 <@lu_zero> still I'm not sure what makes one repo different to another
613 16:56 <+ciaranm> leio: i already have push access to the pms repo... what's the big deal with bugzilla? not like there's not a reopen button, and the council already came up with a process for what to do if we can't reach agreement on a bug
614 16:56 < solar> FYI robbat2 is researching how any perms might of changed. KingTaco said at one point there were perms granted but also noted that any bad behaviors or abuse would lead to perm removal. Nobody in infra so far says there have been any removals.
615 16:57 <+ciaranm> solar: well, at one point i could close pms bugs, and now i can't
616 16:57 < solar> I don't care about that
617 16:57 <@ulm> ciaranm: but you still have commit access to the repo, or did this also vanish?
618 16:57 <@leio> ciaranm: sounds good too if gentoo developers are monitoring pms-bugs@ I guess
619 16:57 < reavertm> ciaranm: maybe you need to send ebuild quiz :)
620 16:57 <+ciaranm> ulm: i did a week ago
621 16:57 <@Cardoe> reavertm: unnecessary
622 16:57 <+ciaranm> leio: i hope they are...
623 16:57 < solar> point is you have not shown where perms were granted. And any user claiming I should have more perms than I have now.. Is treated the same way
624 16:57 <@ulm> Cardoe: and any evidence that you don't anymore?
625 16:57 <@ulm> sorry
626 16:58 <@ulm> ciaranm: ^^
627 16:58 < solar> so why don't you either work with us as requested. Or wait till it's sorted out
628 16:58 <+ciaranm> ulm: i'm assuming i still have git repo access. it's bugzilla that's the problem.
629 16:58 <@Betelgeuse> Wasn't this already discussed at some point and someone was supposed to be watching the access for possible misuse?
630 16:58 <+ciaranm> Betelgeuse: yup
631 16:58 <+ciaranm> Betelgeuse: and considering the number of people watching the pms alias...
632 16:59 <+ciaranm> solar: the only question is why permissions that i had mysteriously vanished
633 16:59 <@Cardoe> ok. this looks like silly politics with someone screwing with ciaranm's access and a non-council issue really. Just fix it and lets move on.
634 16:59 <@dertobi123> Cardoe++
635 16:59 <+ciaranm> Cardoe: the "fix it" bug's been closed off without it being fixed
636 16:59 <@ulm> Cardoe: +1
637 16:59 < solar> I don't care about that question. that is not what the bug was filed for.
638 16:59 <@dev-zero> Cardoe: fully agree
639 16:59 <@Betelgeuse> Ok let's vote on turning on editbugs back on. This means ciaranmn can edit bugs in all products.
640 16:59 <@Betelgeuse> It will be revoked if misused like usual.
641 16:59 <@dev-zero> jup
642 16:59 <@lu_zero> ok
643 16:59 <@dev-zero> I vote yes
644 16:59 <@Betelgeuse> We already give editbugs to potential new bug wranglers etc.
645 16:59 < solar> if they are lost. Then how did that happen
646 16:59 <@Betelgeuse> I vote yes.
647 17:00 <@dertobi123> yes too
648 17:00 <@ulm> yes
649 17:00 <@Cardoe> Just give him the access.
650 17:00 < solar> no. You are not going to bypass infra procedures
651 17:00 <@leio> who's following that mail alias with bugzilla means?
652 17:00 <@lu_zero> solar which is the procedure?
653 17:00 <@Betelgeuse> solar: I already have the power to do that as far as I know.
654 17:00 <@leio> (err, not alias, mail address)
655 17:00 < solar> what did I say at first? robbat2 is researching it
656 17:00 <@dev-zero> Betelgeuse: just do it
657 17:00 < solar> no
658 17:00 <@Betelgeuse> solar: The standing policy has been to give users who do a lot of bugzilla useage powers.
659 17:00 <+ciaranm> i had editbugs way before i became a dev, btw
660 17:00 <+ciaranm> on everything, not just pms stuff
661 17:02 <@Betelgeuse> solar: If you have some written policy somewhere please post a link.
662 17:02 <@Betelgeuse> For now editbugs are back. Infra is free to do research on PMS restricted powers of course.
663 17:02 <+ciaranm> thanks
664 17:02 <@leio> it seems ciaranm just needs to point infra people to some supposedly already happened decision by council that he should have such access, to solve that bug. Of course another option is to give a new access if desired
665 17:02 < solar> Betelgeuse: you just abused your perms
666 17:03 < solar> and you should not of done that. That is not why you had bugzilla perms
667 17:03 <@Cardoe> Do we have any real topics to discuss anymore?
668 17:03 <@leio> apparently not, that were on agenda, anyway
669 17:03 <@dertobi123> as for the eapi-development stuff can we agree on the process described by ciaranm on -dev list?
670 17:03 <@dev-zero> I'd say so, yes
671 17:04 <@Betelgeuse> solar: I have been giving possible recruits editbugs for ages with infra blessing.
672 17:04 <@dertobi123> for eapi-deployment i'll try to keep the discussion going on
673 17:04 < Arfrever> solar: In which bug did he abuse his permissions?
674 17:04 <@dev-zero> dertobi123: cool, thanks
675 17:04 <@Betelgeuse> solar: some issue.
676 17:04 <@Betelgeuse> s/some/same/
677 17:04 < solar> Betelgeuse: you oversteped the bounds.
678 17:04 <@Betelgeuse> solar: If you think so feel free to vote inside infra.
679 17:04 <+ciaranm> i wasn't aware there were bounds on a council vote
680 17:04 <@dev-zero> jup, me neither
681 17:04 <@Betelgeuse> solar: And present a new policy to replace GLEP 39 for developers.
682 17:05 <@Betelgeuse> Or recruiting.
683 17:05 < solar> This is not a normal case in any such way
684 17:05 <@dev-zero> it would be nice to know who removed those perms in the first place without announcement anyway
685 17:05 <@lu_zero> or why
686 17:06 <@Betelgeuse> I will find in the logs when this was first discussed.
687 17:06 <@dev-zero> ok then
688 17:07 <@Betelgeuse> If I can figure out proper grep terms.
689 17:07 <@dev-zero> meetings is over
690 17:07 <@leio> I think solar's point is something along the lines of the latest proven evidence related to this having been the council or devrel decision to revoke ciaranm developer privileges and force-resign
691 17:08 <+ciaranm> leio: i was given those privs way after that
692 17:08 <+ciaranm> leio: as you can see by looking at those pms bugs i closed last year
693 17:08 <@lu_zero> ciaranm and then when they got removed?
694 17:08 < spatz> solar just wants you to prove that and be done with it
695 17:08 <@leio> do you remember by whose decision were they given back? Is there a record of it?
696 17:09 <+ciaranm> lu_zero: sometime after that. i didn't notice for a while since we don't generally close pms things often until new EAPIs come along
697 17:09 <@leio> I'm not sure I care either way as long as you are being monitored as told, but these things would seem to speed things up, which you seem to wish
698 17:09 < solar> I wanted to allow Robbat2 to do his research. Now that you went and messed with perms. Timestamps in bugzilla has changed.
699 17:09 < solar> now I gotta have a BS meeting about if Betelgeuse should be allowed to retain any extra perms in bugzilla
700 17:09 <@lu_zero> sigh...
701 17:10 <@leio> ok, then I thought wrong above
702 17:10 <+ciaranm> leio: unfortunately a lot of it's in private emails, including the part where i was promised that people wouldn't mess around with permissions like this
703 17:10 <@lu_zero> ciaranm looks like you were expecting that
704 17:11 <+ciaranm> lu_zero: when we moved, yes, i was expecting certain people in infra to dick around. i was given promises that they wouldn't. unfortunately, i can't provide those emails since they're private.
705 17:11 <@lu_zero> ciaranm bad =\
706 17:11 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, there was discussion here before PMS moved
707 17:11 <@dev-zero> anyway, the decision to give ciaranm back the permissions where backed by the councils decision
708 17:11 < solar> One thing is for sure. Nobody in infra is going to just randomly remove perms
709 17:12 <@lu_zero> dev-zero you have the link to the council log about that?
710 17:12 <@lu_zero> (just for reference)
711 17:12 <@dev-zero> lu_zero: we just did, above?
712 17:12 <@dev-zero> lu_zero: I was referring to that
713 17:12 <@lu_zero> I mean before
714 17:12 <@Betelgeuse> this is what I found so far bug nothing better yet: <04.05.2009 14:23> < ciaranm> could someone please either tidy up the pms bug list or find out why i'm mysteriously unable to do so yet again?
715 17:12 <@dev-zero> lu_zero: no, sorry
716 17:13 < solar> that was not in the agenda, there was an open bug in which a team was doing research.
717 17:13 -!- The_Paya [n=the_paya@gentoo/developer/thepaya] has quit [Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)]
718 17:13 < solar> so sorry but you are mostly all in the wrong here
719 17:13 <@lu_zero> and looks like the time is up ...
720 17:13 <@dev-zero> jup, I already announced the meeting to be over :)
721 17:13 < solar> and I hope that our devs vote properly for a better council next time around
722 17:13 <+ciaranm> *shrug* i don't really mind either way. but if infra decides it's going to ignore the council, i have no objections to moving to github if that'd work for everyone else.
723 17:13 <@lu_zero> Betelgeuse you used to be less rushy =P
724 17:14 <@dev-zero> solar: thanks for the flowers then
725 17:14 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, when did you notice your permissions had changed ?
726 17:15 <@Betelgeuse> Now let's see if I can search bugzilla for bugs marked as resolved by ciaranm but not reported by him
727 17:15 <@dev-zero> ok, time's definetely up
728 17:15 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: few months back
729 17:15 <@leio> it seems some topic popped up suddenly without it being on the agenda, and it even went as far as to an uninformed quick vote
730 17:16 <@dev-zero> leio: jup, it did during the eapi devel/deploy topic
731 17:16 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, so another day or so while -infra search logs is nethier here nor there.
732 17:16 <@leio> so why did we vote on this uninformed exactly? Something to keep in mind while trying to reform things then
733 17:17 -!- Irssi: Topic: -: Meeting started | Agenda is here: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dev-zero/council/meeting-agenda-20090611.txt
734 17:17 -!- Irssi: Topic: +: Meeting of June 11 is over | Next Meeting: Thursday June 25 20:00 UTC
735 17:17 -!- dev-zero changed the topic of #gentoo-council to: Meeting of June 11 is over || Next Meeting: Thursday June 25 20:00 UTC
736 17:17 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: the issue's about whether i have to get involved with the gentoo infra power-play or not. i only agreed to move to gentoo infra because i was assured that i wouldn't have to worry about any of that mess.
737 17:17 <@Betelgeuse> https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_activity.cgi?id=217492
738 17:17 <@Betelgeuse> This shows ciaranm having them at least a year ago
739 17:17 <@dev-zero> leio: because there were some people agreeing on that and wanted something to happen so people can continue to work
740 17:17 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, you don't. but they should be given time to look at logs to see who did what and when
741 17:18 <@leio> dev-zero: all at the same time as information was trying to be given, yes
742 17:18 <@dev-zero> leio: it got fast a little, yes
743 17:18 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: the council already voted to give me editbugs, and infra are blocking it. this is exactly the kind of mess i was assured wouldn't happen.
744 17:18 <@leio> when did that voting happen, except today?
745 17:19 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, As solar said, infra are looking into why the perms changed.
746 17:20 -!- WilliamH [n=william@gentoo/developer/williamh] has left #gentoo-council []
747 17:21 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: sure. and in the mean time, the council voted to give me editbugs, Betelgeuse gave me editbugs and i don't appear to have editbugs.
748 17:21 -!- maekke [n=maekke@gentoo/developer/maekke] has quit [Client Quit]
749 17:21 <@Betelgeuse> heh clicked the wrong place
750 17:21 <@lu_zero> uff
751 17:21 <@Betelgeuse> stupid me
752 17:22 <+ciaranm> ah, ok, thanks
753 17:22 < trelane> Betelgeuse: remind me to never give you a pistol to shoot :/
754 17:22 <@lu_zero> ciaranm could you wait a day or two?
755 17:22 <@Betelgeuse> trelane: I have used a lot of weapons.
756 17:22 <@Betelgeuse> trelane: Mandatory conscription and all.
757 17:22 < trelane> Betelgeuse: and the mouse is the only point-and-click interface you have problems with? :)
758 17:22 < trelane> aah :)
759 17:23 <+ciaranm> lu_zero: sure
760 17:23 <@Betelgeuse> Well you can do civil service too but any way.
761 17:23 -!- The_Paya [n=the_paya@190.189.19.103] has joined #gentoo-council
762 17:23 <@Betelgeuse> ciaranm: ok let's wait a couple of days then
763 17:23 <@lu_zero> so you wouldn't mind if they spend some time sorting out what happened
764 17:23 <+ciaranm> lu_zero: if they're going to, that's fine. if they're just going to leave it with solar's resolution, then no.
765 17:24 <@dev-zero> tanderson: still around?
766 17:24 <@Betelgeuse> trelane: I am in a flu so I just misread the edit* privs.
767 17:24 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, Solar said it was under investigation ... thats not resolved
768 17:24 <@Betelgeuse> NeddySeagoon: Then the bug should be open.
769 17:24 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: solar's closed off the bug too though
770 17:24 <@leio> Betelgeuse: so the timestamps weren't touched or something?
771 17:24 < Calchan> ciaranm, you should seriously consider that sometimes shit happens and that not everything is a conspiracy against you
772 17:24 <@Betelgeuse> leio: Dunno how it works bug I did change other lines.
773 17:25 <@dev-zero> Calchan: he didn't assume that
774 17:25 <+ciaranm> Calchan: are we aware of other people's bugzilla privs vanishing?
775 17:25 <@Betelgeuse> leio: And it's by now changed probably.
776 17:25 < Calchan> ciaranm, invalid point
777 17:26 <+ciaranm> Calchan: well, i had privs, and then i didn't, and infra tried to close the bug off without fixing it
778 17:26 < trelane> Betelgeuse: swine flu? (suddenly wishing linux had anti-virus...)
779 17:26 -!- ssuominen [n=ssuomine@gentoo/developer/ssuominen] has quit [Remote closed the connection]
780 17:26 < Calchan> ciaranm, see above
781 17:26 <+ciaranm> Calchan: i don't really mind either way if that's what infra wants to do, but if they do, i need to find a new home for pms that's acceptable for everyone
782 17:26 <@dev-zero> Calchan: see the bug
783 17:26 <@dev-zero> Calchan: the bug got "resolved"
784 17:27 < Calchan> dev-zero, so what ?
785 17:27 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, so gibe infra a wee while to find out what happened
786 17:27 < Calchan> let's cool down
787 17:27 < NeddySeagoon> give*
788 17:27 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: infra were trying to close it off without fixing it until the council intervened
789 17:27 < solar> No
790 17:27 < spatz> so have an entire council meeting about bugzilla permissions
791 17:27 <@dev-zero> Calchan: well, the message in the bug was "ciaran provide info why you had that perms anyway" and not "sorry, we're investigating it"
792 17:27 <@lu_zero> spatz the leftovers
793 17:28 < solar> anybody that is on #infra should see the chat we were already in the process of having
794 17:28 <@Betelgeuse> I need to go sleep to get better.
795 17:28 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, Wait for -infra to find out what happened and why
796 17:28 <@lu_zero> Betelgeuse take care and rest well
797 17:28 < Calchan> dev-zero, it's a legitimate request from somebody who obviously didn't know the whole story, does that make it a conspiracy ?
798 17:28 < Polynomial-C> spatz, the meeting finished already.
799 17:29 <@dev-zero> Calchan: huh?
800 17:29 <@dev-zero> Calchan: what request?
801 17:29 <@leio> dev-zero: maybe that information should be provided then as asked? When I ask users something I often mark the bug NEEDINFO while waiting for an answer (or an answer telling they can't give one)
802 17:29 < hwoarang> get well soon Betelgeuse
803 17:29 < spatz> i know that, i was referring to how the meeting was suddenly off the agenda
804 17:29 < Calchan> dev-zero, request for providing info
805 17:29 <+tanderson> dev-zero: sorta
806 17:29 <@dev-zero> Calchan: when the user says "I had foo but then foo vanished"?
807 17:30 <@dev-zero> Calchan: did you work in support once?
808 17:30 < NeddySeagoon> dev-zero, we see that on the forums :)
809 17:30 < Calchan> dev-zero, ah, btw yes
810 17:30 <@dev-zero> Calchan: you don't ask "why did you have foo in the first place"
811 17:30 <+ciaranm> hey! it was "I had foo, as you can see from this clear evidence, and now I don't, as I can see from not being able to do blah"
812 17:30 < yngwin> false analogy
813 17:30 < solar> You ask such things when somebody was kicked out of gentoo. dunno what 2.5 times
814 17:31 <@dev-zero> tanderson: you might have to proxy for me next time
815 17:31 <@dev-zero> solar: it doesn't matter
816 17:31 < solar> yes it does
817 17:31 <+tanderson> dev-zero: might have to work that out with Cardoe to see if he's going to be missing
818 17:31 < solar> it's our job to make sure that we do the right thing.
819 17:31 < Calchan> dev-zero, cool down, I was just saying that we should give this thing more importance than it deserves, and just work to solve the matter
820 17:31 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, yep but the reasoning is missing. Thats what infra are looking at. Then you may get your foo back
821 17:31 < Calchan> s?should/shouldn't/
822 17:32 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: only infra have access to that reasoning, afaik
823 17:32 <@dev-zero> Calchan: I agree, but closing that bug with a pretty arrogant statement is not how things should work
824 17:32 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: from what i've seen of bugzilla on other sites, there's a log of permission changes but it's only accessible to people with superpowers
825 17:32 < Calchan> dev-zero, a bitchy dev doesn't a conspiracy make ;o)
826 17:32 < solar> and bypassing a team which was doing research is somehow the right thing?
827 17:32 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, Probably. Are you suggesting there will not be an honest report ?
828 17:32 <@dev-zero> Calchan: I don't talk about conspiracy
829 17:33 <+tanderson> just calm down guys, I doubt there's a conspiracy and ciaran will get to do his pms stuff in a day or two
830 17:33 <+tanderson> It's really not a big deal at all
831 17:33 < Calchan> dev-zero, you're right, I did, but I guess you know what I meant
832 17:33 * reavertm agrees
833 17:33 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: all i really care about is whether i'm going to have to go through this mess all over again in another few months if i don't find a new home for pms
834 17:33 < solar> tanderson: and you can see from the infra chat that there may be a few ways it could of happened. Including user error
835 17:33 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: i'd really rather not have to get involved in yet another council / infra power struggle
836 17:33 <@dev-zero> Calchan: I talk about infra providing a service and guessing from the comments some let their personal feelings come in their usually nearly perfect way of maintaining stuff
837 17:34 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, how many times have you lost perms since PMS moved to gentoo hardware ?
838 17:34 <+tanderson> solar: true, thanks. I don't think he's done email addr changes in a while however
839 17:35 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: once since, and i've also had permissions revoked by infra despite an explicit council order for them not to before we moved pms there, which is why i asked for guarantees before moving pms
840 17:35 <@dev-zero> Calchan: and we wouldn't have this whole discussion if people would have handled that request with respect
841 17:35 < Calchan> ciaranm, remember that access to gentoo infra is a privilege, so ask nicely and behave adequately and there's no reason you don't get all the access you require to work on pms
842 17:35 <+ciaranm> Calchan: i had that access, and it vanished, and infra tried to refuse to give it back
843 17:36 <+tanderson> bye guys, my garden needs work. But remember, it'll all get sorted out in the end and it'll likely not happen again
844 17:36 -!- You're now known as tanderson|na
845 17:36 <+ciaranm> Calchan: which, again, is entirely up to infra, and i'm quite happy to move pms somewhere else that's acceptable to everyone involved if infra decide to do that
846 17:36 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, so wait for the investigation. Its no big deal long term. Nobody is immune for finger trouble, your 'guarantees' won't cover that
847 17:37 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: now that the investigation is happening, i'm happy. until the council got involved, though, there wasn't an investigation and it was being brushed under the carpet.
848 17:37 <@leio> oh, btw, apparently PMS is not a draft standard of EAPI-0 or something
849 17:37 -!- ssuominen [n=ssuomine@×××××××××××××××××××××××.fi] has joined #gentoo-council
850 17:37 < Calchan> ciaranm, and you explained your problem and you got you edit privs back (although it's not there technically you got a positive council vote), no reason to make more fuss about it
851 17:37 < reavertm> please all stop this soap opera, let infra do their investigation
852 17:38 <+ciaranm> leio: "or something"? details please?
853 17:38 < solar> ciaranm: that is not true at all
854 17:38 <@leio> I believe the requirements listed at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/meeting-logs/20080911-summary.txt have not been met
855 17:38 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm So, let it cool a little. The only thing I would like to see is a target date for the investigation to complete
856 17:38 <+ciaranm> leio: er, all of those were met a long time ago
857 17:39 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: like i said, i'm happy
858 17:39 <@leio> good, where's the documentation?
859 17:39 <+ciaranm> in the pms intro
860 17:39 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, I've never heard you say that before :)
861 17:39 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: you weren't around in the good old days when i would sing "happy happy joy joy" all the time?
862 17:40 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, Nope, you had left just before I became a staffer
863 17:41 <@leio> ok, sounds good. I suggest for the PMS editors to document some of that in the project page as well, or point to the intro for these things
864 17:41 <+ciaranm> leio: you'll need to find out who has permission to edit the pms page this week for that part
865 17:41 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: all was sunny and shiny, gentoo made progress, developers got along and bugs got fixed
866 17:42 <@ulm> ciaranm: every dev can edit it i think
867 17:42 <@leio> where's the conflict resolution process documented?
868 17:42 <+ciaranm> leio: credits.tex in pms iirc
869 17:42 < reavertm> ciaranm: so what happened that it all changed? :)
870 17:42 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, pretty mucah as happens now but Gentoo has got a lot more complex meanwhile
871 17:42 <+ciaranm> reavertm: love-sources
872 17:42 <+ciaranm> reavertm: and then gentoo-alt
873 17:43 <@leio> no references to "conflict" in pms.html
874 17:43 < reavertm> you suggested to keep them off-tree or sth?
875 17:43 <@dev-zero> ciaranm: what had love-sources to do with it?
876 17:43 < reavertm> probably personal conflicts with maintainers?
877 17:43 <+ciaranm> leio: there should be a "Reporting Issues" section
878 17:44 <+ciaranm> dev-zero: seemant decided that we couldn't tell users in #gentoo who were using love-sources to change kernels before moaning that they experienced filesystem corruption etc
879 17:44 < yngwin> bug 57300
880 17:44 < Willikins> yngwin: https://bugs.gentoo.org/57300 "Ciaranm: the antagonism continues"; Developer Relations, Default; RESO, FIXE; seemant@g.o:devrel@g.o
881 17:44 <@leio> ciaranm: ok, thanks. I'll add to my TODO to read through the whole document from top to bottom one day even though not implementing a PM
882 17:44 -!- jlec [n=jlec@××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××.de] has left #gentoo-council []
883 17:45 <+ciaranm> leio: oh good. we could use some people doing that.
884 17:45 <+ciaranm> yngwin: before then even
885 17:45 <@leio> the TODO list is too long.
886 17:45 < yngwin> yeah, but thats where its documented
887 17:45 <+ciaranm> the whole "#gentoo losing all its active ops" thing happened quite a bit before that mess
888 17:46 <+ciaranm> then there was that whole year-long freeze on recruiting developers thanks to drobbins' lawyer trying to make everyone sign a bit of paper agreeing to turn over their computer to the foundation upon request
889 17:47 < hwoarang> :/
890 17:47 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, do you still have a copy of that ?
891 17:47 <+tanderson|na> dev-zero: I'll talk to cardoe and ask if he is expecting to have problems next meeting. If not, I'll be your proxy
892 17:47 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: i could probably find one if i could remember where stuff is in gentoo cvs
893 17:48 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: proj/en/devrel/copyright-assignment.xml iirc
894 17:48 <+ciaranm> ...or, for that matter, if i could remember how to use cvs
895 17:48 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, thanks.
896 17:49 <+ciaranm> http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo/xml/htdocs/proj/en/devrel/copyright-assignment.xml?hideattic=0&rev=1.17&view=log
897 17:49 <@dev-zero> does the proxy have to be a gentoo-dev anyway?
898 17:49 * dev-zero is going to read tha ru!3z
899 17:49 <+ciaranm> dev-zero: no
900 17:50 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo/xml/htdocs/proj/en/devrel/assignment.txt?hideattic=0&rev=1.2&view=markup is the exact wording
901 17:50 <+tanderson|na> dev-zero: I'll just make an alterego and we're good :P
902 17:50 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: search for 'media' for the nasty part
903 17:50 <@dev-zero> tanderson|na: hehe :)
904 17:50 <+ciaranm> hrm, no
905 17:50 <+ciaranm> that's not the lawyer version
906 17:50 <@dev-zero> tanderson|na: or someone who responded quiet fast got a job

909 17:57 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, I can't believe that was written by a lawyer. It confuses copyright and IP
910 17:58 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: i'm not even sure if that's the lawyer's version
911 17:58 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: i seem to recall there being a version at one point that specifically said you have to hand over your computer if they ask for it
912 17:58 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, Its quite possible to assign copyright and retain IP
913 17:59 < NeddySeagoon> also, it takes no account in the variations in copyright law aound the world
914 17:59 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: one of the objections was that anyone in germany(?) couldn't legally sign the original agreement, or that they couldn't agree to hand over certain rights that it demanded
915 18:00 <@dev-zero> ciaranm: same problem with Switzerland I think
916 18:00 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, yep. In the UK employers often own copyright and IP to everything you do, even in your own time
917 18:00 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: fortunately the only thing i've ever had to care about on this was a one day course explaining all of it from some very highly paid lawyers for a very large software company, who only did that and got us to take a silly test so they could cover their asses regarding us understanding our rights
918 18:01 < NeddySeagoon> heh

920 18:02 <+ciaranm> i do recall them very specifically saying that they didn't own anything we did in our own time on our own hardware, but that we should write down anything we did do and tell management everything we did in spare time so they could be clear there what they did and did not own
921 18:03 < Calchan> ciaranm, that's the US way and it's contagious, I spent my whole morning with lawyers today instead of doing useful work
922 18:03 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, read the fine print in your contract of employment
923 18:04 <+ciaranm> NeddySeagoon: oh, my current contract's fine on that
924 18:04 < NeddySeagoon> ciaranm, I'm glad to hear that
925 18:05 <+ciaranm> although for some weird reason i'm not allowed to contribute code to projects using GPL-1. i have nfc why.

942 20:40 < trelane> well, due to the silence based on what I had to say, either I'm WAY out in left field, or I'm pretty much right on it.
943 20:40 * trelane just hopes he got it right
944 20:42 <@leio> trelane: most of council members are in such a timezone to go to sleep right after meeting, I believe. I was dealing with something related though
945 20:42 < trelane> cool :)
946 20:42 <@leio> and now it's way past my bed time too, which in my timezone is really right after the meeting
947 20:42 < trelane> darn, I've always thought a well written argument wakes up the soul
948 20:43 < trelane> I'll write it better next time :)
949 20:43 <@leio> give it some time, people are indeed really sleeping or tired
950 20:44 < trelane> next time I'll send caffeine pills along with my argument then
