[Wed Jan 22 19:19:31 2014] <Kxepal>: but... [Wed Jan 22 19:19:39 2014] <Kxepal>: #link https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1986 [Wed Jan 22 19:20:04 2014] <awenkhh>: yeah - the last answer was alos -1 from dch [Wed Jan 22 19:20:12 2014] <kocolosk>: I said I would look at COUCHDB-1986 last week, but I didn't --sorry [Wed Jan 22 19:20:23 2014] <Kxepal>: 1986 issue breaks make distcheck for at least FreeBSD and MacOSX [Wed Jan 22 19:20:35 2014] <kocolosk>: ACTION nods [Wed Jan 22 19:20:37 2014] <awenkhh>: correct [Wed Jan 22 19:20:58 2014] <awenkhh>: the good thing is ... it's the only issue :) [Wed Jan 22 19:21:05 2014] <Kxepal>: kocolosk: do you have some time to look on this? [Wed Jan 22 19:21:41 2014] <Kxepal>: I could do this by myself, but I'm on linux where "everything works fine" [Wed Jan 22 19:21:50 2014] <dch>: hey [Wed Jan 22 19:21:57 2014] <Kxepal>: dch: hello! [Wed Jan 22 19:22:01 2014] <dch>: Kxepal: I can provide freebsd or OSX access if reqd [Wed Jan 22 19:22:37 2014] <Kxepal>: dch: remote access or virtual image? [Wed Jan 22 19:22:57 2014] <kocolosk>: Kxepal: it's on my queue, but I'm not sure if I'll have cycles today [Wed Jan 22 19:23:20 2014] <dch>: Kxepal: real access, FreeBSD is easiest (hardware), and OSX I can provide access to a Lion VM over ssh again. [Wed Jan 22 19:24:22 2014] <Kxepal>: kocolosk: I think day or two doesn't makes a sense for now, so no worries [Wed Jan 22 19:24:37 2014] <Kxepal>: dch: oh, great! I'll ping you privately after meeting for credentials, ok? [Wed Jan 22 19:24:52 2014] <Kxepal>: not sure that will have a success, but I'll try (: [Wed Jan 22 19:26:34 2014] <Kxepal>: #action kocolosk and/or Kxepal will try to look and solve COUCHDB-1986 issue [Wed Jan 22 19:28:28 2014] <kocolosk>: #link https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2031 [Wed Jan 22 19:28:39 2014] <Kxepal>: kocolosk: ah..I think since 1.6 is "broken" may be it will be possible to backport COUCHDB-2031 to it [Wed Jan 22 19:29:31 2014] <kocolosk>: it seemed that PouchDB found a workaround [Wed Jan 22 19:29:33 2014] <Kxepal>: anyway, I'm +1 to have it [Wed Jan 22 19:29:35 2014] <dch>: up to djc as the RM [Wed Jan 22 19:29:41 2014] <kocolosk>: agreed [Wed Jan 22 19:29:41 2014] <dch>: but yes, makes sense [Wed Jan 22 19:30:16 2014] <Kxepal>: #action ask djc about possibility to backport COUCHDB-2031 fix from master to 1.6.x branch ## rcouch/bigcouch merge ## [Wed Jan 22 19:31:55 2014] <Kxepal>: #link some more news about: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg29652.html [Wed Jan 22 19:33:34 2014] <Kxepal>: also davisp prepared multiple of git repositories for each CouchDB component [Wed Jan 22 19:33:53 2014] <Kxepal>: #link http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg29568.html [Wed Jan 22 19:36:31 2014] <kocolosk>: this week on the ML we discussed an order of operations / priority for the merge. General thinking is to focus on items that allow us to merge the code sooner, and then iterate on enhancements and fixes (some of which may be necessary to e.g. release a version of CouchDB withh clustering) using smaller more focused topic branches [Wed Jan 22 19:39:53 2014] <kocolosk>: [ok] ## reviews ## [Wed Jan 22 19:41:08 2014] <Kxepal>: #link http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg29710.html [Wed Jan 22 19:41:42 2014] <Kxepal>: recently on ML was raised (again) question about having more and better code reviews [Wed Jan 22 19:42:23 2014] <Kxepal>: #action all devs to leave you opinion about how you'd like to see this process [Wed Jan 22 19:42:49 2014] <awenkhh>: I saw two points in this discussion [Wed Jan 22 19:42:59 2014] <awenkhh>: 1. review via PR [Wed Jan 22 19:43:07 2014] <awenkhh>: 2. review via a tool like Gerrit [Wed Jan 22 19:43:42 2014] <awenkhh>: out of my experience the PR way is easy and is feasible [Wed Jan 22 19:43:52 2014] <awenkhh>: gerrit is more strict [Wed Jan 22 19:44:19 2014] <awenkhh>: so during the discussion I proposed to try to review everything via PR's [Wed Jan 22 19:44:35 2014] <awenkhh>: what do the others think? [Wed Jan 22 19:44:47 2014] <Kxepal>: +1 for github, but the main problem with him that reviews comments are not sent to dev@ [Wed Jan 22 19:45:04 2014] <Kxepal>: and it's not possible to reply on them via dev@ ML [Wed Jan 22 19:45:05 2014] <dch>: awenkhh: my 0.02c here is that this is a classic case of waiting for a decision. I saw no strenuous objections, and I suggest you write up a basic workflow on the wiki, and prod people to use it. [Wed Jan 22 19:45:22 2014] <bigbluehat>: yeahâ¦lots of conversations happening on PRâs outside of Jira [Wed Jan 22 19:45:27 2014] <bigbluehat>: would be slick to combine them somehow [Wed Jan 22 19:45:34 2014] <dch>: thinking of that classic quote about asking for forgiveness & not permission... [Wed Jan 22 19:45:52 2014] <Kxepal>: I wonder if Humbedooh has any solution... [Wed Jan 22 19:46:01 2014] <awenkhh>: hm .. is there a way to improve that? [Wed Jan 22 19:46:09 2014] <awenkhh>: Kxepal ... yeah godd idea :) [Wed Jan 22 19:46:45 2014] <awenkhh>: dch I will think about that and if I have a good idea :) [Wed Jan 22 19:46:50 2014] <bigbluehat>: there is a Jira Service Hook for Githubâ¦so in theory... [Wed Jan 22 19:47:00 2014] <awenkhh>: "and see if I have a good idea" [Wed Jan 22 19:47:19 2014] <bigbluehat>: additionally, GH can/could email the mailing list when PRs come in (and/or on every commentâ¦might get chatty, though) [Wed Jan 22 19:47:57 2014] <Kxepal>: actually, it does: GH sends a mail when PR is opened and closed [Wed Jan 22 19:48:07 2014] <awenkhh>: bigbluehat any experience with the Hook? Do you know how to set this up? [Wed Jan 22 19:48:34 2014] <bigbluehat>: weâd need to have access to the Jira API [Wed Jan 22 19:48:40 2014] <bigbluehat>: not sure if thatâs setup on the apache one or not [Wed Jan 22 19:48:51 2014] <bigbluehat>: but it would allow us to reference issues, and such [Wed Jan 22 19:49:00 2014] <bigbluehat>: ACTION gets some links [Wed Jan 22 19:49:03 2014] <dch>: bigbluehat: if youâre interested in this, best to talk to Humbedooh on IRC and find out more. [Wed Jan 22 19:49:44 2014] <bigbluehat>: hereâs the basics https://github.com/github/github-services/blob/master/docs/jira [Wed Jan 22 19:49:54 2014] <dch>: and if you want anything set up within the couchdb jira project itself, Iâm happy to help out (my knowledge is very limited though) [Wed Jan 22 19:49:55 2014] <bigbluehat>: Iâm interested in having it be better :) [Wed Jan 22 19:50:04 2014] <bigbluehat>: happy to help where I can if help on that front is needed [Wed Jan 22 19:50:28 2014] <bigbluehat>: at this point a test run of the Service Hook per that above readme would be good [Wed Jan 22 19:50:46 2014] <bigbluehat>: not something I can doâ¦but once itâs tested, then a brief (hehe) discussion of it on the ML and ship that thang ;) [Wed Jan 22 19:50:52 2014] <bigbluehat>: â¦or something like it :) [Wed Jan 22 19:51:30 2014] <Kxepal>: bigbluehat: you link looks like about closing jira tickets via gh commits. I wonder if it will also handle PR comments [Wed Jan 22 19:51:30 2014] <awenkhh>: bigbluehat sounds great ! I would like to take the documentation bits in the wiki then :) [Wed Jan 22 19:52:00 2014] <Kxepal>: *your [Wed Jan 22 19:52:49 2014] <Kxepal>: anyway, bigbluehat would you like to investigate this question? [Wed Jan 22 19:53:16 2014] <bigbluehat>: ah, good question [Wed Jan 22 19:53:22 2014] <bigbluehat>: Kxepal: Iâm up for that, yes [Wed Jan 22 19:53:39 2014] <Kxepal>: bigbluehat: great! thanks(: [Wed Jan 22 19:53:47 2014] <awenkhh>: bigbluehat cool :) [Wed Jan 22 19:53:54 2014] <bigbluehat>: want an email to the list on my findings? [Wed Jan 22 19:54:13 2014] <awenkhh>: bigbluehat that would be great! [Wed Jan 22 19:54:22 2014] <Kxepal>: #action bigbluehat to investigate question about integration of GH PR comments with ASF ML [Wed Jan 22 19:54:35 2014] <bigbluehat>: perfect ## fosdem ## [Wed Jan 22 19:55:44 2014] <Kxepal>: #link https://fosdem.org/2014/ [Wed Jan 22 19:56:31 2014] <Kxepal>: if you're will be there, make sure to ping @benoitc about! ## reviews ## [Wed Jan 22 19:57:20 2014] <Kxepal>: #action awenkhh will write an basic workflow after bigbluehat has the first things found out ## goals 2014 ## [Wed Jan 22 19:57:49 2014] <Kxepal>: #link http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg29713.html [Wed Jan 22 19:58:05 2014] <awenkhh>: who's attending Fosdem?

[Wed Jan 22 20:04:01 2014] <Kxepal>: goals thread is needed to be updated for more details (: [Wed Jan 22 20:04:03 2014] <bigbluehat>: I also think discussion/designing a 2.0 API could fit into that [Wed Jan 22 20:04:13 2014] <bigbluehat>: likely via experimental plugins [Wed Jan 22 20:04:21 2014] <bigbluehat>: +1 on a thread about this [Wed Jan 22 20:04:25 2014] <bigbluehat>: this == goals (sorry) [Wed Jan 22 20:04:28 2014] <awenkhh>: wouldn't it be great to have 2.0 after the merger? [Wed Jan 22 20:04:43 2014] <awenkhh>: and plugins [Wed Jan 22 20:05:01 2014] <bigbluehat>: yeah, any API changes, though, would mandate a major point release [Wed Jan 22 20:05:17 2014] <bigbluehat>: but I donât think thereâs any problem with a 3.0 following (if need be) to implement a new API [Wed Jan 22 20:05:26 2014] <bigbluehat>: but thatâs likely beyond âgoals" [Wed Jan 22 20:05:37 2014] <awenkhh>: heh a lill' :) [Wed Jan 22 20:05:46 2014] <bigbluehat>: merger, plugins [Wed Jan 22 20:05:58 2014] <bigbluehat>: Dirkjan mentioned a couple others this morning [Wed Jan 22 20:05:58 2014] <awenkhh>: we should take 2.0 as an opportunity to make a lot of marketing! [Wed Jan 22 20:06:02 2014] <bigbluehat>: - Get more commit activity, especially in the core [Wed Jan 22 20:06:07 2014] <bigbluehat>: - Improve the release process to make it take less work/time [Wed Jan 22 20:06:12 2014] <bigbluehat>: ^^ the two not yet mentioned [Wed Jan 22 20:06:19 2014] <awenkhh>: and ...
