Having newly-created / classified xen bugs e-mail us would be even better. that works too, we can setup auto notify and assign, but it needs a developer access level ( iirc ), it might be easier to email the list here. The developer acess should be, imho, tied to git commit access ( since it also gives people the acl to close or delete bug reports ). - KB -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
Re: [CentOS-virt] RFC: Use git am for patchqueue

But before I post that, I wanted to get comments on a new method of managing the Xen part of the patchqueue. You can find the RFC branch here: repo: http://github.com/gwd/sig-virt-xen branch: out/git-am-patchqueue-RFC-v1 The basic idea is to put as much as possible into a 'git am' file. This file can easily be imported into git on top of a Xen git repository with git am [filename], rebased / edited like any branch, and the exported again with git format-patch -N --stdout [release-tag]. I've got a copy of the Xen repo with the patchqueue applied as a branch here: repo: http://github.com/gwd/xen branch: centos/pq/4.2.4-v1 Unfortunately this only works for patches to things in the core Xen repo; patches to qemu, or the out-of-tree blktap will need to be managed separately still. However, at the moment those patches are kind of small. Having the patchqueue in this format made rebasing to 4.4 a *lot* easier. assume that we have a git repo per package, then the deps ( like qemu ?pxe etc ) could also use the same process ? I don't see why not -- although we could just fault them in lazily as-needed. Also, would it make sense to consolidate this queue under the github.com/CentOS/package repo ? I don't really understand the question. I was assuming the workflow would be: * George something on github.com/gwd/sig-virt-xen * George sends pull request to github.com/CentOS/sig-virt-xen (possibly cc'ing centos-virt mailing list) * Opportunity for discussion, review, objections, suggestions, c * Eventually it gets pulled into CentOS/sig-virt-xen * ...then pulled into git.centos.org for testing. Did you mean something else? I'm also thinking that we might need a process like this for pretty much everyone else - there isnt a precidence for the SIG's in this regard as yet ( and anecdotally, we use a more manual version of exactly the same process for handling branding/blacklists in the centos distro rpms queue as well ). Well each SIG can come up with a method of managing patches that works for them; but feel free to suggest this to people. :-) -George ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
Re: [CentOS-virt] Call for agenda items for tomorrow's VIRT SIG meeting
No, it isn't. I think we should go through * Round the call for any additional agenda items * Action Updates * Bug tracker * RPM subpackage structure Lars On 20/05/2014 12:02, Jonathan Ludlam wrote: If it's not too late to add agenda items now, could we talk about the structure of the RPM subpackages? In particular, some folks here at Citrix have spent some time fixing up our xen RPM such that the subpackages have a more useful split - for example, there is a now distinction between xen-libs and xen-dom0-libs - where the former has libraries useful in all domains, e.g. libxenstore and libvchan, and the latter has libraries that are _only_ useful for dom0. There are a few other changes that have been made, and I was wondering what the appetite was for convergence, and where the problems will lie if we were to pursue this.
