14:03:28 nope 14:03:37 #topic action item review 14:03:40 #link http://ovirt.org/meetings/ovirt/2011/ovirt.2011-12-15-14.00.html 14:03:59 jboggs: where are we with uefi? 14:04:08 (usb patch was pushed today) 14:04:32 it works for usb, due to a design feature, sata /internal drives require more work, im drafting an email to explain to the list 14:04:58 #info uefi works for usb, still working on sata/internal drives 14:05:05 #action jboggs to send email with status to list 14:05:23 jboggs: who have you reached out to at this point for expert help on uefi in general? 14:05:24 gist is: livecd-iso-to-disk only supports grub1, so boot screen is empty, and can't include grub-efi due to conflicts chicken/egg 14:05:38 mgarret was a huge help and bcl form livecd-list 14:05:49 ok, cc them on your email thread that you're going to start 14:05:56 and let's drag them into ovirt.org mailing lists : 14:05:57 :) 14:06:22 masayag: http://pastebin.com/rY74bFwr so, it doesn't seem to be a pebkac 14:06:28 jboggs: i think pjones is a uefi expert 14:06:30 trying for hours now to compile ovirt 14:06:38 my personal action items: 14:06:58 #info mburns talked to dougsland about vdsm patches -- should all be merged 14:07:13 #action mburns to test vdsm/registration with build today 14:07:20 mburns, im tottaly at the 99% marker on uefi its just sitting a a blinking cursor now :) and the only folks that have used uefi+grub2 are fedora+macs 14:07:33 so not any good examples 14:07:40 jboggs: ok 14:08:01 #info still facing real hardware issues, will follow up with smoke testing today 14:08:28 mburns, i can help with that just give me details 14:08:32 14[[07Node Backlog14]]4 !10 02http://www.ovirt.org/w/index.php?diff=1536&oldid=1174&rcid=1580 5* 03Pmyers 5* (+520) 10 14:08:48 #action mburns to parse rhel bugs for upstream inclusion and flag as "EasyFix" 14:09:10 jboggs: might have you update the engine machine 14:09:27 but honestly, i haven't looked at the real hardware issues since before the shutdown 14:09:37 so i don't recall what was happening exactly 14:09:50 #info all pending patches reviewed and pushed 14:10:04 ok, that's it for old action items 14:10:22 2.2.1 release 14:10:29 #topic 2.2.1 release 14:11:28 #info 5 bugs currently opened and flagged for 2.2.1 14:11:48 3 are in post and merged (will move to modified later today) 14:12:05 mburns: well, I'm still stuck on the login prompt, even after pulling the change you pushed 14:12:26 other 2 are uefi and a simple change with /etc/hosts file 14:12:34 primalmotion: ok, will look after this meeting 14:12:40 thanks 14:13:04 #info more bugs will be cloned from rhel 6 bug list to 2.2.1 release 14:13:07 mburns: 2.2.0 list still hase 1 bug in NEW and 5 in MODIFIED 14:13:26 mburns: so we need to close current release the modified ones and move the NEW one to 2.2.1 probably? 14:13:26 pmyers: yes, modified i need to close 14:13:36 the NEW one is 753297 14:13:44 new one is f16 based ovirt node iso image release 14:13:46 which is done 14:13:48 ok 14:13:57 so i'll close that one as well 14:14:02 so just bad bugzilla hygiene then :) 14:14:08 yep 14:14:18 * mburns head slaps self 14:14:32 yeah where's hewbrocca's halibut when you need it :) 14:14:35 pmyers: the NEW one, i just missed when parsing 14:14:46 i look at all upstream bugs at the same time 14:14:51 yep 14:14:57 and 1 2.2.0 bug in the list is easy to miss 14:15:09 btw the bz queries on http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Node_Backlog are useful 14:15:15 i just added query for 2.2.1 bugs as well 14:15:23 i'd like to get 2.2.1 wrapped early next week 14:15:38 #link http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Node_Backlog 14:16:06 well, actually we have to get 2.2.1 wrapped early next week 14:16:11 for initial ovirt release 14:16:21 #topic first oVirt release 14:16:35 #info Release scheduled for 31 Jan 14:16:47 #info Test day scheduled for 16 Jan 14:17:11 #info Builds need to be tagged/ready for 12 Jan 14:17:38 #action mburns to build ovirt-node for 12 Jan 14:17:47 #action mburns to build iso image for 13 Jan 14:18:41 given how close these dates are, i might punt some of the easy rhel bugs that i'm going to clone later to 2.2.2 or 2.3.0 14:18:50 but i'll decide that when i look 14:18:55 2.2.2 is fine 14:19:05 we know we need to do another build for jan 31 anyhow 14:19:16 yep 14:19:17 since we'll need to incorporate new vdsm with RHEVM removed from the oVirt Node plugin 14:19:22 dougsland: ^^ 14:19:44 well, we need new iso definitely, but not necessarily a new ovirt-node rpm 14:19:50 right 14:19:52 we most likely will need it though 14:19:55 so how do we handle that? 14:20:02 if we keep version of ovirt-node the same 14:20:04 but new ISO 14:20:09 how do we version the node itself? 14:20:14 ovirt-node rpm will be 2.2.1 14:20:18 iso is 2.2.1-0 14:20:20 ah ok 14:20:21 2.2.1-1 14:20:21 cheers 14:20:54 or something like that... 14:21:20 ok, moving on if there's nothing else for the first release... 14:21:44 #topic meeting time 14:21:56 mburns: one quick Q 14:22:01 #undo 14:22:01 Removing item from minutes: 14:22:02 when do you anticipate 2.2.1 build 14:22:07 what date 14:22:13 and what about 2.2.2, what target date do we want to set for that 14:22:28 and when was 2.2.0 formally released again? 14:22:42 2.2.1 targeted for 11 Jan 14:22:48 iso by 12 Jan 14:23:10 2.2.2 will be for 31 Jan 14:23:18 but probably a little earlier 14:23:26 but we depend on vdsm for that as well 14:24:14 #info 2.2.1 rpm build targeted for 11 Jan with iso build 12 Jan (dependent on vdsm being ready) 14:24:42 #info 2.2.2 build targeted for 29 Jan with iso build around the same time (dependent on vdsm and timelines set by ovirt release manager) 14:24:46 what about original release date for 2.2.0? 14:25:16 7 Dec 14:25:24 was when the build was done 14:25:36 14[[07Node Backlog14]]4 !10 02http://www.ovirt.org/w/index.php?diff=1537&oldid=1536&rcid=1581 5* 03Pmyers 5* (+669) 10 14:25:48 ok take a look at http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Node_Backlog and verify my dates 14:26:08 ack 14:26:16 14[[07Node Backlog14]]4 !10 02http://www.ovirt.org/w/index.php?diff=1538&oldid=1537&rcid=1582 5* 03Pmyers 5* (-70) 10 14:26:30 #topic meeting time 14:27:10 i have a standing call immediately prior to this meeting that tends to run over 14:27:19 tuseday at same time then? 14:27:31 and they're talking about moving it half an hour later too, so looking for new time proposals 14:27:38 tues wfm 14:27:40 pmyers: i thought you had a conflict tuesday at 9? 14:27:52 nope 14:28:09 ok, then i'll move this to tuesday at 9 14:28:32 send out an updated invite to the node devel list to let folks know 14:28:48 #action mburns to update meeting request to be tuesdays at 9AM ET 14:29:13 #topic open discussion 14:29:29 we went through 2.2.0, 2.2.1 and you're going to create some 2.2.2 bugs 14:29:37 there's interest in ovirt-node from the archipel team 14:29:39 but we should take a look at 2.3.0 and review to make sure that everything is still feasible 14:29:48 primalmotion is looking at adapting to make it work 14:29:53 what's archipel? 14:30:05 http://archipelproject.org/ 14:30:32 so something that competes with ovirt and/or openstack? 14:31:02 looks similar 14:31:09 (not raising objections or anything just trying to understand scope) 14:31:37 if nothing else, from node perspective it should help us understand flexibility and extendability 14:31:42 agreed 14:31:43 which will help for plugins 14:31:45 i think it's a good idea 14:31:59 however it does start begging the question of whether or not we need a more general project 14:32:07 interesting it uses xmpp for comm 14:32:22 i.e. oVirt Node is really a variant of 'Embedded Node' or something 14:32:22 pmyers: as for 2.3.0 bugs, i think we should defer to tuesday for that discussion 14:32:27 mburns: ack 14:33:04 mburns: do you think it makes sense to generalize oVirt Node to be smth like Embedded Node (please find a better name) and then make oVirt Node a variant that takes plugins for it? 14:33:29 pmyers: i think it's certainly something to investigate 14:33:38 or should we use oVirt Node as the base and in some cases plugins for other variants will remove core things 14:33:47 but i think we need to solidify the plugin stuff before we spend anytime on it 14:33:49 like for example I doubt that project you mentioned uses vdsm so it would remove vdsm 14:33:52 agreed 14:34:06 pmyers: i really don't like the idea of removing anything 14:34:11 nor do I 14:34:22 so that really means we should look at adding 'oVirt/vdsm' as a plugin 14:34:26 so for now, archipel would need to disable what it doesn't need 14:34:47 there may be other use cases for oVirt Node even outside of virtualization enviornments 14:34:53 but long term, with plugins, we can move vdsm/ovirt-engine stuff to be true plugins 14:34:59 pmyers: true 14:35:06 I've discussed with folks from gluster community around using the oVirt Node structure for a storage brick/appliance 14:35:12 which doesn't even need libvirt/kvm at all 14:35:16 just the gluster stuff 14:35:18 though i'm not sure how much we want to go down that path with removing things 14:35:30 right so in that case we'd need a JEOS base image 14:35:41 upon which we can add virt support, ovirt support, gluster support, etc 14:35:48 eventually, we get to the point that the plugins are too big and the node is too small to be useful 14:36:07 ok, so then you would argue that those variants are different kickstarts 14:36:09 vs. plugins 14:36:29 i think we should stick with a base virt node with libvirt/kvm 14:36:34 ok 14:36:46 for the gluster use case, they can disable virt stuff 14:36:50 ok fair enough 14:36:57 but i think we want to stick with virt as our base 14:37:03 for now, agreed 14:37:13 yes, for now 14:37:21 it's all moot until we have working plugins anyway 14:37:24 yep 14:37:51 any other topics for open discussion? 14:37:52 gluster a good plugin example at this point, i can work with them on it 14:37:55 ? 14:38:11 not sure if it's a short term thing for them 14:38:16 it maybe be further out on their roadmap 14:38:17 but 14:38:24 you can definitiley work with them 14:38:36 do we have a contact already? 14:38:48 jboggs: vdsm/engine might be the place to start 14:38:55 see what it does to the node already 14:39:01 yeah can do that then 14:39:48 ok, anything else? 14:39:56 * mburns starts countdown 14:40:00 3.... 14:40:15 2... 14:40:33 1.. 14:40:46 OK, thanks everyone 14:40:48 your seconds are pretty long ;) 14:40:49 #endmeeting
