Below are the slightly edited notes from the Gobby document. Additions and corrections welcome. Cheers, gregor ### Welcome, who's here? -------------------- * Introduce yourself if you like on IRC: - alexm - ntyni - carandraug - smash - carnil - knowledgejunkie in the room - simon - intrigeri - cstamas - Dom - Martin Berends - bremner - nodens - jonas - gregoa on gobby: - axhn Sprints -------------------- * Lloret de mar, May 2017 https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2017/DebianPerlSprint - perl 5.26 uploaded to experimental - autopkgtest improvements: run prove recursively - see the report for details: https://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/docs/sprint-lloret2017/report-lloret2017.html * DebCamp / Montréal, July/August 2017 https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2017/DebianPerlDebCamp - see upcoming report for details * next year? - Another Sprint? - there is general interest - again in Spring - maybe combined with another event like suncamp Low-hanging fruit sessions -------------------------- https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianPerlGroup/LHF * look back on 2016/17 - 21st of each month, first 2 at 18:00 UTC, then alternating between 17:00 UTC and 19:00 UTC - 11 happened, 2 cancelled (vs. 8:2 in 2015/2016) - 5.72 participants on average (vs. 6.25 in 2015/2016) 17:00 5.5, 18:00 5.5, 19:00 6.0 - 20 unique persons (vs. 14 in 2015/2016) - between 1 and 11 times, 3.1 on average (vs. 1-8, 3.64 on average) - topics: + packaging: new upstream releases, bug fixes, reproducible, autopkgtest + QA across packages: dot-in-@INC, perl5.24, perl5.26 + discussions: m-a:foreign, "enc2xs -C", random FTBFS, sprint, stretch release notes * look forward to 2017/18 - keep the agenda uptodate? https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianPerlGroup/LHF/Agenda - defined goals - "team meetings"? people are generally ok with also having points for discussion - we continue with the dates/times as last year Reproducible builds notifications --------------------------------- turn them off (intri → h01ger) Team status ----------- * commit stats for last year: committer-stats (scripts.git) - 54 persons with at least one commit in the last 365 days (vs. 58 in 2014/2015, 56 in 2015/2016) - 13 people with > 100 commits (and 1 with 99 :)) (vs. 11 in 2014/2015, 14 in 2015/2016) * ping inactive members: find-inactive-contributors + mail-merge (scripts.git) - done in 2016. results: https://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2016/08/msg00017.html - started by alexm in August 2017 - 71 pings sent: 14 keep, 4 remove, 20 bounce; 37 estimated removals so far. Perl 5.26 --------- How did it go? Anything to learn for 5.28? - full archive rebuild once (to catch packages only using perl-base) Stretch freeze/release ---------------------- How did it go? Anything to learn for buster? Freezy policy: various opinions/pros/cons about not uploading 'normal' updates during the freeze. * this is a general question for Debian * rc bugs especially at freeze need more bg knowledge, time, expertise * next freeze is not for a while, so talk again Projects for next time, items for discussion -------------------------------------------- * git-debcherry - the end of an experiment? - end it * perl packages not part of perl team. I have came accross of a few perl packages not part of the team and to me it looks like they never worked. I guess someone packaged them to answer a RFP but not actually used it. I fixed the ones I saw but this may be a bit more widespread? Just enabling the autopkgtest on those packages was enough to show the issues. - dom offered to revive the offer from last year to identiy packages which are not team maintained and may welcome team maintainership ### -- .''`. https://info.comodo.priv.at/ - Debian Developer https://www.debian.org : :' : OpenPGP fingerprint D1E1 316E 93A7 60A8 104D 85FA BB3A 6801 8649 AA06 `. `' Member of VIBE!AT & SPI, fellow of the Free Software Foundation Europe `-
