Date and Time: 2012-10-22 19:00 UTC

  • Next Date
    • Nov 26th
  • Releases
    • 5.7.2 -- Wes
      • is out the door
    • Next up: from 20120723: concentrate on patches/bugs instead of a release
  • Administrative
    • wiki issues
      • mostly fixed now; confirmededit (ie, captchas) so the login page is broken
      • during the 30 minutes of off time, 4 spam accounts were created
    • Wiki Main Page
      • good: remove from future agendas
    • PERSIST: Switch to Allura?
      • rough consensus to switch
      • announce with switch in 2 weeks?
    • PERSIST: Adding a "this is an old release" header to the README and other files for older branches?
      • consensus to add a note
      • consider adding a runtime or configure time check?
        • runtime: daemons
      • some discussion about how old releases are a pain in the first place
  • Technical
    • Time kill off redundant modules?
      • notes on things that may need (re)moving:
        • ucd-snmp/lmSensors <> ucd-snmp/lmsensorsMib
        • ucd-snmp/memory_XXX <> hardware/data_acces/memory_xxx
        • disman/expression <> disman/expression-mib (which is better)?
        • disman/event <> disman/event-mib (which is better)?
        • mibII/ipCidrRouteTable <> ip-forward-mib/ipCidrRouteTable
      • Conclusions from the discussion:
        • good idea in general
        • needs a wider discussion on -coders
        • move to an obsolete/ folder for a release on two
        • some unresolved discussions about weather and how-to warn about new versions
        • hardaker: the goal was to have newer code "stage" but the reality is that's a pain. We shouldn't be making users have to know. *we* should have the pain. Thus, when we rewrite I think the right thing to do is rewrite in place and optionally move the older code to obsolete/ so that it can be activated if the newer code fails.
