[Saul Wold]

October 17, 2019

Tl/PL Elections
   Saul will be TL
   Frank stepped up as PL - Thanks Frank!
     Comment was Saul is TL for 3 projects so not PL also here!

Build-Layering
   Being worked by Martin
   Reviews pending
     Scott AR: to check if reviews can go independantly
   Final cut-over has Cengn impact, so should be post 3.0
   Saul to get testing manifiest
   Need Changes for DOCS on usage and setup.
     * Who owns the Docs update?

Cengn Access
   Should not be a problem to add additional access
     Saul +1 (TBD)
   Must be careful about the work and well coordinated
     This is Jenkins based!
   Review Build model
     Jenkins First model vs Git First model
     Maybe get a containerized or vm version of CENGN for testing

Versioning
   Started doing manual update of RPM Package %Version to 2.0.0 of 
CentOS packages
     Issues with older PKG-INFO
      Deprecate usage
   Some packages read VERSION from build_srpm.data
     Needs more investigation
     Used to generate SRPM in some cases, not all
   MAJOR/MINOR macros are set from specfile and passed to Makefile
     Not used constitently in Makefile!
     Makefile uses different macro for library
     Library version should not be connected to Package versioning (in 
all cases)
   Saul forgot some other smaller issues discovered.

De-Branding
   Started to send patches for de-branding for mirroring and repo
   Some changes are standalone and can be merged in 3.0
   Other changes will require cut-over change with Docs and CENGN

Zuul/OBS Builds
   Currently setup for openSUSE as non-voting
   Need to add template to other services
   Currently non-voting as it's just starting the build
     Zuul job just starts the OBS build does not get actual result of 
OSB build
N  ext step will be to try and build a CentOS repo as a prototype

2.0.1 Status
   Almost complete
   Need to fix the manifest repo and it was tagged before the review was 
merged
   Need to get manifest re-tagged
     Scripts are fixed to prevent this in the future.
