There was a bit of talking - to be honest, I am not quite sure what the expect of us yet. 19:02:09 It seemed we were debating things that were "too far out in the future" 19:02:16 well if we have nothing to do for now, let's drop it until we do 19:02:23 ISTR dak is a blocking factor at the moment anyway 19:02:26 dak/dpkg 19:02:29 indeed 19:02:38 and tar 19:02:45 pochu: mips64el plans, are there any yet? 19:02:55 jmw: waiting on more hw aiui 19:03:19 #agree Reproducible builds: nothing for us to do, await developments 19:03:20 (jcristau: allegedly, tar upstream has ack'ed the patches pending legal paper signing) 19:03:21 jmw: I added it to arch_qualify, sent a mail about it mentioning the last package that hasn't been rebuilt yet, and yes we're waiting for DSA hw as well 19:03:27 hw, right 19:03:38 I also sent a mail wrt our (my) mips concerns - no hw with fpu 19:03:49 great 19:04:05 #agree mips64el: awaiting hardware for DSA 19:04:15 dunno if agree is the right thing for these, but meh 19:04:23 jmw: plans for maria 19:04:24 the porters said they will look at that package that wasn't rebuilt 19:04:27 . 19:04:28 oh that's me 19:04:45 "plans: weep" 19:05:00 well I'm ashamed to say I have totally failed at this. I expect to be able to deal with it at the weekend (yay bank holidays), unless anyone else is more enthusiastic and would like to take it over 19:05:32 did we agree to make maria the default provider? 19:05:37 We did agree on it 19:05:49 we did 19:05:49 then maybe we just need to let Otto know and let him take care of it? :) 19:06:04 I barely have sufficient enthusiasm for the things already on my list 19:06:36 pochu: I plan for pkg-mysql to take care of it certainly, but I want us to keep a hand on the tiller 19:06:46 i.e. we need to reply to 19:07:03 pochu sounds enthusiastic 19:07:09 ;) 19:07:20 well I can reply to that :) 19:07:26 Otto sounded really helpful 19:07:57 jmw: ^ does that work for you? 19:08:16 certainly 19:08:25 Our first action of the meeting! 19:08:42 #action MariaDB transition: pochu liaise with pkg-mysql 19:09:26 Maybe mention ? 19:09:32 (in an info or the action?) 19:09:47 like this 19:09:47 https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2016/02/msg00570.html 19:09:56 the message-id is better :) 19:09:57 or that 19:10:02 anyway 19:10:06 next is nthykier: dda bits? 19:10:20 Yeah, jmw made those ! 19:10:32 oh yes, I failed to mislead the press into thinking we are freezing for an extra year.
