Here are the notes from the meeting today and then some. If you would like
to elaborate or ask questions please do so here.


Our new hardware needs (HDD space, SSDs)

   -

   Fabio handling this? Is he aware of everything we need?



Bugzilla improvements

   -

   Too complicated, too many choices, not all correct
   -

   Requesting a package ALWAYS goes to SCR, but shouldn’t
   -

   No easy way to differentiate between bugs.
   -

   Possibility of bug bankruptcy?



Communication with our community

   -

   Blog team of 2-3 people?
   -

   Verification of article before submissions
   -

   Covering changes, releases, growth, and even general linux battles
   Sabayon faces
   -

   At least once
   -

   Mudler has credentials/can invite.
   -


   https://github.com/Sabayon/sabayon-website-next/tree/master/content/article
   -


   https://github.com/Sabayon/sabayon-website-next/tree/master/content/release
   -

   Open to the public for articles, should probably have a wiki page for
   this.



Libav vs ffmpeg

   -

   Mudler will speak with libav team next week. We should obtain required
   info for final decision upon next meeting.



ARM support

   -

   No ARM downloads link in download page (microchip icon from fontawesome
   4.7)
   -

   ARM only shows up under stable (unless RPi)
   -

   Notice: ARM images are minimal might be useful
   -

   Website must remain mobile support compliant



GCC upgrade (status, branch, SLO?)

   -

   Branching may result in user unfriendly issues.
   -

   Hopping branches needs to be automated and somewhat noob friendly.
   -

   Chroot snapshot, then bump GCC and recompile all as opposed to branching?
   -

   Use of eit status to tell what is recompiled vs what is not.
   -

   Need to complete core updates before freezing for GCC



Security team possibilities

   -

   Need more manpower to prevent slow downs of dev process.
   -

   Team would actively search and find security issues and push on upstream
   or gentoo for patches.
   -

   Is the team actually necessary? Last known issue was
   
https://github.com/Sabayon/for-gentoo/commit/8858b6ce02931112fccd87e7819042df95f29d1f
   -

   Are issues currently discovered by happenstance or active searching?
   -

   U2F capabilities? (yubikey assisted login PAM etc)



Entropy auto updater

   -

   Can we not release this to sabayonlinux.org repo?
   -

   Can it not include auto branch hopping upon branch completion?
   -

   Can we add auto-updater feature to magneto?
   -

   Keep as systemd service to allow compat with minimal distros.
   -

   Have Rigo remind users of updating config files.



Entropy autoremove function

   -

   Enlik and dontpanic?
   -

   tool will give packages that have no reverse deps and uninstall them if
   not needed.



BTRFS Anaconda installer support?

   -

   BTRFS is bootable from GRUB, snapshot support etc is nice. ZFS isn’t
   bootable yet.



Virtualization and containers (dockers, OMVF, etc)

   -

   OMVF support needed. (virt-manager “UEFI not found”)
   -

   VMs should be more turnkey for server deploys
   -

   Docker simplification for administration? http://panamax.io/ ,
   https://portainer.io/ , https://github.com/francescou/docker-compose-ui
   -

   Proxmox showing sabayon docker as option in list



Clearing up questions of entropy development.

   -

   Enlik?
