Hi Raster,

I am assuming I would need to get you an SSH key as the next step?

e5.enlightenment.org - there is a whole machine with lots of disk and ram to do 
this ... it doesn't need vm's or containers - that is necessary  to run 
services (and actually makes it so much harder to maintain). these only matter 
if you are scaling up to huge services and you have to divide.

it'd be fantastic if you want to do this. i can easily set up a dns entry like 
gitlab.e.org to point to e.org like phab, www, git.e.org etc. do and apache can 
split it out to its own www tree like everything else. - there already is a 
mysql db running (for phab) and other things... so everything needed is there. 
all the disks are raid1/10 mirrored fully so it's pretty redundant.

Hahahahah! glad you at least you put your hand up for "when i am able to do 
that in a few years".

My point here is more - it will end up being me right now and I only have X 
time to do things with and i have to prioritize. Phab works and does the job.
It may not be perfect or the nicest things but it works and still does now.
It's not that hard to use it and adapt to it. There isn't a big need to fix 
this right now. There are much more important things to work on (at least for 
me), so I'm going to focus on those for now. :)

well it'll take time. i'm told 6-12 months to be kind-of back to normal and in 
a few years i should be totally back, but i just went from "severely limited"
last friday to "i have my arm back - but now with metal, screws and a scar and 
very limited movement in my wrist". i need to exercise movement to get it back 
but it can be a bit of a strain, so i can't do it as much as i used to.

I'm back to typing again as of last friday - but am keeping myself to at most 
maybe ~8-9 keyboard hours a day (still need to work).

e.org moved from e6 back to e5 a few months ago as an emergency measure when 
e.org broke again and i had to quickly move everything to e5 and set it all up.
i spent a few days doing that but i didn't re-set up automatic developer 
account management (it's a bit complicated :)). it's something still to do, so 
this will have to wait for some spare time for me to dig into that. it'
actually hasn't been necessary for quite a while which is why it was not high 
priority :)

[E-devel] (no subject)

2020-01-15 Thread Jonathan Aquilina
Hi guys,

I’m noticing a bit of tensions through some diffs I’m seeing come through the 
pipeline.

I think two points to make here are the following:

Firstly English might not be the native language spoken by some so one needs to 
keep this in mind that when reading their English some wording they use might 
come out as harsh and abrasive when that would not have been the intention.

Secondly from text Alone one cannot fully understand what their emotion they 
want to put forth really is. Through text that is easily lost.

If anyone takes anything out of what I’m sending I hope that these two points 
will come to mind.

Under X11 there is little point in doing much, it was never designed
with security in mind so things like key logging and screen grabbing can
be done just using the native X11 API. If you think about what apps like
synergy and gimp's color picker can do using native API's with no
privileges you'll get a good idea. As such many things that would
generally be a security issue in other software don't get heaps of time
because you can probably do it using the API without an exploit anyway.

Having said that there are certainly areas worth looking at, especially
the binaries using suid bits to see if you can do any privilege
escalation. Wayland also sandboxes apps much better so its probably
worth looking there because anything you find would be worth while.

Subject: [E-devel] EDD 2019 wrap up: news post, meeting minutes, recordings

Hello.

We had some good and useful time last weekend at EDD. Xavi did a litle
write up with pretty pictures for our website. Go and have a read:

https://www.enlightenment.org/news/2019-11-26-e-dev-days-2019.txt

Many, many things have been talked about. We tried to capture at least a
little of this in our meetings notes we worked on together. In addition
the first slides have been added to the EDD wiki page schedule (the rest
will follow over the next days).

https://phab.enlightenment.org/w/events/enlightenment_developer_days_2019/minutes/

https://phab.enlightenment.org/w/events/enlightenment_developer_days_2019/

This surely does not cover everything but at least it gives some ideas.
Recordings have been taken but we have not yet checked on the audio
quality and we will see how it is and how long it will take to get the
videos out. Don't hold your breath (or offer help if you are willing to
do some cutting, etc).

This is not really recurring issue, this is a bug in exim when a domain has srv

https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2443. Once this is fixed, we can roll

Finally came around to check the vote, make a summary and setup the final vote 
which should give us the location and date we can work with.

Since the last update we got two more votes (making in 16 in total).
Here is how they spread out:

Location:
Cambridge: 13
Malta: 11
London: 10
Barcelona: 8
Staines: 6

Dates:
02. + 03.11: 10
07. + 08.09: 6
26. + 27.10: 5
21. + 22.09: 4


This brings us to the final vote I just set up. I reduced the location options 
to three. Malta, Cambridge and Barcelona. The first two have the highest votes 
and Barcelona also has hosting offered. I dropped London as there was no 
offered hosting which makes it complicated for me to handle and its only an 
hour train ride to Cambridge anyway.

As for dates I skipped the ones in September as it would be impossible for me 
to organize things by then. I also added a few more in November as that seemed 
a popular month.

https://phab.enlightenment.org/V45

Again, I can not guarantee that the location and date with the most votes will 
really be what I pick, as there are sometimes other problems which make it 
unsuitable, but I will try very hard to go with the highest votes.

Recordings:
There have been requests for recording and maybe live streaming. We tried this 
before two times and it failed both times. If we have someone wanting to handle 
this and give it another try I would be happy to have it, but I am not putting 
this on my plate :-)

User sessions:
Another topic of questions have been about users of Enlightenment or 
applications which are no developers. We are happy to have them. This just 
started out as a meeting for developers to coordinate, but that does not mean 
it only for them. If we have enough people interested we could go and have a 
half a day of sessions on user topics like Enlightenment and other EFL apps.

Lengthy mail, time to cut it off. Please go and vote until August 23rd.

regards
Stefan Schmidt

Not really, I needed to get some initial dates sorted out.

I created a poll on phab now. This is to gauge interest for the
different dates and locations. If nothing fits please vote the answers I
added for these cases.

If there are other preferred dates or someone else can offer hosting I
am happy to add it. We would need a final vote in the end anyway.

Thanks for trying!

Which means for now we would have Staines, UK and Malta as available hostings.

Any more offers?

I am also open to suggestions on the best location even we we have no hosting

Subject: Re: [E-devel] EFL Autotools freeze proposal

Generally stable releases will get version updates for point releases,
and if there are any other major bugs that are fixed after i'll normally
backport them, if thats too hard I may consider a major version update.

We tend to encourage people who want the latest everything to use the
rolling release instead, or wait for the next leap point release which
will be within a year. There are repo's that get used for development
where people could get a newer version but we generally don't encourage
it, and they would still require a new enough meson to be in the core
system in order to build. Because enabling a newer version of E
shouldn't force you onto a non system build of Meson thats not being as
well maintained.

For the crazy adventurous there are repo's that even have git builds,
but generally normal openSUSE users shouldn't need to add any additional
repos to there system bar 1 or 2 where legal issues get in the way,
unlike ubuntu where not everything makes it into the core distro in
openSUSE we encourage everything possible to be in the main distro at an
appropriate version depending on whether users are expecting a "stable
system that changes less" or a "rolling release". So the problem we hit
and are discussing is that the appropriate version of meson in the next
point release of openSUSE is too old to build the ideal version of efl,
which will likely end up blocking a new version of e (which does work
with that version of meson). Extra repo's are not a solution for 99% of
users who will just use the version that ships in the distro, which in
fairness may not be that big an issue because it is rather stable and
works really well on X11, but there is the potential that they will
still be using that version in 2-3 years unless we lower the version of
meson required by efl slightly.

Hi Simon,

What happens in terms of OpenSuse in the sense of giving those on stable 
versions of Suse the latest versions of e? Won’t a 3rd party repo still be 
needed until the next release is released with a newer version of e?

I have ways of creating 3rd party repo's easily, but currently you can
install enlightenment from the openSUSE installer, and I'd like to keep
that at the latest version for each new version of leap, so i'd like e23
or later in Leap 15.2 (about a year away), which will probably need a
reasonably new efl, but will likely only have meson 0.46.0 which is fine
for e but atm not for efl.

There are alot of people using e from the installer, I keep bumping into
them at conferences etc, GNU Health have been using openSUSE +
enlightenment on all there raspberry pi's etc, so there is a significant
number of people using e in this way, and i'd like them to stay
reasonably up to date.

Yeah there's a lot of stuff thats using meson to build now, and a meson
update effects any updates we do for anything thats built with it due to
needing full QA cycles to verify that the package was built correctly
which is why enterprise distro's prefer not to update build tools mid cycle.

Yep but in openSUSE's case that may mean keeping e22 through all the
leap 15.X releases which I really don't want to do because I cant
support it, so welcome back to the world of having bugs reported that

The key with ubuntu to ensure if you need newer versions of meson is to ensure 
that Debian has the latest package and as long as Debian is kept up to date new 
ubuntu release will end up with them until package freeze that they have 
scheduled.

tho meson doesn't affect THAT much... it's a build tool not a "runtime tool". 
it isn't int he realms of libc, Xserver, bash etc.

in our case if a new efl needs a new meson, then... that's what it needs and an 
efl upgrade is not likely to happen then from the core distro. ppa's and 
equivalents can manage to fill that gap. this problem will go away over time as 
meson matures etc. etc. so this is a short-term problem as such. :)

This is kind of right, in an openSUSE context for a new service pack we
probably won't update Meson because it effects alot but we can update
efl / e because it doesn't affect as much, we could also add it if it
didn't exist. Further if a new version of efl fixed a serious bug that
was hard to backport we would also take the version update.

In ubuntu's case from memory the service packs tend to only be a new
installer containing all the updates so its probably less likely, but I
don't remember how ubuntu works 100% so I could be wrong.

Re: [E-devel] EFL Autotools freeze proposal

2019-04-29 Thread Jonathan Aquilina
Hi Ross,

I understand that, the issue becomes already released versions of Ubuntu and 
family. They do not just allow anything into backports unless it fixes a 
particular bug that is being encountered and it is absolutely necessary to 
update the version that was released.

In other words for Ubuntu they will tell you put it in a ppa if users want the 
bleeding edge stuff. Other than that for Ubuntu package maintainers are asked 
to get newer versions into Debian which will trickle down then into subsequent 
Ubuntu releases.

Jonathan

Yes, anyone can make a PPA. But you're talking to the maintainers of
distro packaging - we try to put packages into distros for real :)

We are talking about LTS Ubuntu here, which i'm guessing will get a new meson 
for the next LTS version which will be released in April 2020, I would not be 
surprised if like openSUSE they do not take newer versions of most software 
into there LTS versions because this is generally what people running LTS 
versions want.

I think what we would really need to check is if Debian has a meason maintainer 
if yes we need to work with them to keep meason up to date in Debian unstable 
and then the newer version will trickle its way down to each new release of

Generally because if the package is in a PPA it can't be used to build an 
official package, so you wouldn't be able to use it to update the current efl 
version. I'm not sure if debian allows you to use a backports package to build 
a package in stable, but i'm guessing you could use it to build a package in 
backports.

I think you're mixing up backports & stable.  Stable releases only
accept security fixes & small changes.  Backports provides a path for
selectively providing newer versions of software to stable.  It's an
opt-in repo.  See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
(The same is true for Debian.)

It shouldn't be too hard to get new backports accepted - the hardest
piece is probably finding someone to do the testing.

Hi Jonathan, if you're interested, start here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports
meson 0.49 from disco cleanly builds in bionic, though I didn't do any testing 
of the result. (the meson tests do pass during build)

The Debian packages for efl 1.21 & e22 are in disco as well.  efl could 
probably be backported now, e might need newer meson in bionic-backports first.

 We are currently in the 1.23 release cycle, and it seems agreed 
 upon that we are planning to remove autotools prior to the 1.23 
 release. Overall, the meson build is in reasonable shape--there are 
 some small issues on our main platforms (and larger ones for 
 Windows)--and it should not be an issue to meet this goal.

One test that should shed some light one things is to build and install efl 
with autotools as well as meson and compare the two destirs to find differences 
in the install.

windows support

OSX is building with meson for a long time on CI for every push.

 I think this would help to streamline build system development and

This is very similar to how we work with new dependencies or new version of 
deps. Aiming to support the *latest* LTS release from distros should be a goal, 
if possible.

When the meson version was brought up as problem the last tiem I remember 
talking to Marcel to find out if that version is needed for performance 
improvements or if it has fixes that are needed to actually build efl with 
meson at all. IIRC it was the last one.

Still waiting on Simotek about which version of Suse he wants to support. Also 
Ubuntu LTS needs digging if there is a backport.

Right now I do not see this as a dramatic setback. We still have at least 4 
months to go before the next release (new distros will ship or get updated). 
What we should avoid though is to update the meson version requirement.

the issue i saw got fixed by bu5hm4n since, but we really need to go over 
everything in detail before removing autofoo - ensure it matches up correctly 
and installs the same things in the same places before removal. windows support 
is another big one. do we know the state on osx?

there has to be a line we draw. thing of this: RH support their distro for 10 
years. does that means we need to also rely on 10 year old build tools too 
because that is what distro does? just because distros are conservative doesn't 
necessarily mean we have to also be.

now, that being said, it does present a problem. this problem will eventually 
go away in time, so perhaps it means no efl upgrade on those distros unless 
they also get a backported newer meson too. the pip solution also works in many 
cases but not so much for official packagers as they have to stick to tools 
provided on the distro, but packages can be built in a users environment where 
they used pip to get a newer meson, so it can be done. it just requires being a 
bit dirty.

Re: [E-devel] EFL Autotools freeze proposal

2019-04-24 Thread Jonathan Aquilina
Morning Stefan,

Take a look at 

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meson

That might be able to point you in the right direction as to what versions are 
available for what release. What I couldn't find though is if a PPA is 
available for newer versions on already released distro's such as 18.04

I would like to get reports on what is actually missing or problematic.
We can push back the freeze a bit, but its only a freeze, not the autotools 
removal. And we need people to switch over to see if all the crazy use cases we 
do not have are covered.

ok, so a concrete list of things that blocks autotools freeze and removal:

1) Windows port: ecore_win32 (gdi and ddraw engines) need to work, maybe more 
to come, feedback from Vincent needed.

2) Meson minumim version requirement: Need to check if there is a backport for 
Ubuntu LTS, maybe a list with meson versions on different distros?

Pretty sure there will be more, but the question is if we find out before we 
drop autotools or not.

Hi Stefan,

Sorry about the changes to the plan that wasn’t my intention. I am in complete 
agreement with you on the below points. When ever you are ready with the script 
let me know and we can get things going with the infrastructure with a linode I 
have and at least get the release out and running.

No, sorry. I don't think that makes sense. We don't need a tarball
packaged from git without any extra work. People who want bleeding edge
stay on git. If we would provide snapshots people would expect some
extra testing on them which would simply not happen.

> What do you think about this?

I think we should stick with what we talked about and not mix in other
things every day.

1) Try a 5 months release schedule to see if that works better and lifts
some pressure form the 3 months cycle.

2) For stable updates we will have a cron job running that checks every
Monday if there are new patches in the stable branches compared to the
last stable update. If there are we trigger the process to do a new release.

In practice that would mean we do it really "on-demand", as in, some fix
was seen worthwhile backporting. I would imagine that will give us
weekly updates for the first few weeks after a major release and after
that only occasionally an update.

Stefan Schmidt

why weekly releases? that's not going to have any release PROCESS done other
than "make distcheck" or "ninja dist" - i don't see any stabilization work 
or
QA being done beyond that (it won't be sustainable at that rate without
basically no QA). at that point we have git master itself - so anyone
interested in such things can just use git master.

But these snapshots would be different, most developers are following the

Personally I think Monthly point releases are probably more then enough unless 
we find a major issue. Distro's who are the major users of them probably won't 
update once a week, I'd also expect that once a release settles we probably 
wouldn't even see new commits once a week.

Hello.

We pushed back on the initial schedule to not get everyone caught by surprise 
of a freeze.

We had some extra weeks now and I wonder if the following updated schedule 
would work?

=== Schedule ===
2018-08-17 Merge window for 1.22 opens
2019-02-20 Notice about soon ending merge window
2019-02-28 Merge window is over. Freeze in place.
* Only bug fixes from this point
* Alpha release tarball
* One month stabilization phase starts
2019-03-07 Beta1 release tarball
* Only critical fixes from this point
2019-03-14 Beta2 release tarball
2019-03-21 EFL 1.22 is out

As a sidenote I would consider this the last release with autotools. We will 
also have a meson based tarball ready at that point which we would appreciate 
testing from packagers. After the release is out we should remove autotools 
support from master to focus on one build system only.
Autotools will only be kept use in the 1.22.x releases for maintenance.

If this schedule does not work for you for a good reason speak up now.

With a openSUSE hat on, currently we have meson 0.46.0 and gcc7, Debian
has Meson 0.37.0 (but newer in backports) and gcc6. At one point we were
using as long as most distro's had it, its ok which mostly meant if it
was in debian (I think we cared less about centos as there wasn't many e
users there). At some point we went to Meson 0.40.0 though because the
wayland stack had also gone to there.

As the release is just a compressed folder with source code the release
should be the same regardless of which base os you use unless we have
bugs in the build scripts. I build the enlightenment ones on my local
openSUSE Tumbleweed machine.

[E-devel] Release plans

2019-02-12 Thread Jonathan Aquilina
Good morning everyone,

Yesterday both Stefan and myself discussed CI and releases.

In terms of CI I will be setting up a team on azure so we can do some bench 
marking on performance compared to Travis as well as how many simultaneous 
builds can be run at any one time to see if there are any limitations.

In regards to releasing of major releases we agreed that 3 months seems to be a 
bit short and are looking at changing that to 5 months for major release and 
then more frequent point release in between those five months if there are lots 
of fixes we can look at doing point releases on a weekly basis.

At this stage given my scripting skills are virtually non existent and this 
would take me a while to script Stefan is going to try this week to get me the 
script for the releases as well as weekly point releases. After that my plan is 
to use a linode that I have to start churning out the releases.

Stefan in regards to base os for the release system would I be fine with centos 
or would something like Debian or Ubuntu be better?

Wishing you all a pleasant day.

Jonathan

Have you looked at the wiki page and scripts used for release handling?
Much of the mechanical work of building the tarball and pushing it out
is already scripted. Sure it could get cleaned up and maybe made more
robust, but its there.

What could be further automated is the news generation and addtition to
the wiki, sending out release mails, etc. Could all be done but it never

Hi Stefan,

22:00 is perfect for me we can have a chat on slack regarding this and Azure CI 
side of things. Thank god for being in the same time zone makes things like 
this much easier to coordinate.

Re: [E-devel] Azure Devop's CI

2019-02-08 Thread Jonathan Aquilina
Hi Stefan,

This is something I was planning on working on given I am working on azure for 
some personal projects and potentially a massive project which atm is very 
small but can be gigantic for the aerospace sector.

I think we can add this to our discussion list for Sunday when we meet to speak 
regarding release builds.

Well, everything is limited to an extend. Only Google and Amazon have
infinite computer power ;-)

More concrete Travis is limited to 5 parallel build jobs for a OSS
project. We are over this limit which means the 6th job and further will
only start when one of the first five finished.

IIRC Azure has a higher limit here (10 parallel jobs?) that would help.
But someone would need to investigate how to use it and work on actually
doing it.

> I can actually give you guys control over this team so to speak so those

Sure, you can give me access, but I am looking for someone who would do
the actual work to get the efl CI builds we have running on Azure as
well. On my personal todo list its quite near the bottom. If you or
someone else thinks we should have it running on Azure I would welcome
anyone to start working at it.

Stefan or a chat on slack.

As I wrote in the releases thread I would prefer IRC/Slack. What date
and time would ou want to have the discussion?

Stefan Schmidt

I assume you know that we already have an actively used Travis CI setup?
https://travis-ci.org/Enlightenment/efl/branches

We have an instant github mirror by now and if azures ties into Github to get

So, a 1.21.2. We currently have 4 patches pending in the 1.21.x branch which 
are not in the 1.21.1 release. When announced that there will be a stable 
update we might see more backports coming.

I posted this very link to you a couple of times, but I had no feedback from 
you if that covers what you asked for.

Jonathan, are you willing top work on a 1.21.2 stable release?
I can give you a hand but I would need to know if you are willing, have the

i was having another idea, which would make all the Windows

I meant impossible now. I mentioned the possibility of porting Enlightenment
wayland. I think it is probably easier than trying to use X11. However, you
would end up with Enlightenment as an application with all applications
inside.

Yes, but then it is not a window manager is it? I think you could port 
Enlightenment Wayland to Windows, running in Fullscreen.
You will probably find a lot of difficults, but I guess it can be possible.

The Linux Subsystem doesn't work with X11, you need a a Windows X11 server. And 
I don't know any X11 server which runs window managers on Windows. Is there?

[E-devel] Azure Devop's CI

2019-01-16 Thread Jonathan Aquilina
Hi Guys,

I am looking to propose that I setup for the project CI on azure. There is no 
charge as far as I can gather for this. It seems like I would just need to tie 
it in to git to pull in the changes and schedule runs. From what I can see this 
is ubuntu based as a platform. What do you guys think do you think it's a good 
idea to have it do CI testing on each build?

If I am not mistaken I can setup a team and add members to that team if you 
guys would be interested.

Jonathan

Re: [E-devel] 1.22 schedule proposal

2019-01-09 Thread Jonathan Aquilina
I’m ready to step and take charge of this but I think we need a bit more 
frequent minor release updates both for those in the community that want to Be 
on the bleeding edge and those that want to help bug fix more incremental 
stable releases.

Stefan do you have any documentation on how release plan works?

Subject: [E-devel] 1.22 schedule proposal

Hello.

Its almost 5 months since we released 1.21 and I stepped down.

When talking with people I got help offers on the release handling but
no-one stepped up to fully take a lead on this. I start to get the
feeling that this might need to be handled with a smoother transition of
knowledge and work.

Jonathan and Mike both offered help and others also expressed that they
would be willing to do their share towards a release. I count on you to
make this work :-)

To get back to time based releases we should get working on 1.22 soon
(and not block ourselves with $FEATURE not being ready right now)

The 3 months based schedule has been putting to much load onto the
project with release stuff. At least that is my opinion. After 1.22 is
out we should think about increasing this. Maybe 4, 5 or even 6 months?
Up to discussion.

After 5 full months of development I think we should allow two weeks
before we freeze to allow everybody to get their work in order. Fixes
will follow over the next weeks to get it ready.

Here is my release schedule proposal to get us started. Comments?

=== Schedule ===
2018-08-17 Merge window for 1.22 opens
2019-01-18 Notice about soon ending merge window
2019-01-23 Merge window is over. Freeze in place.

not useful for us as we regularly want to run things that need newer things 
and
these needs then updates to 10 years is not useful to us IMHO.

what is probably better is really ubuntu. 6 monthly upgrades, big userbase
tested and thus can stay relatively up to date with fairly minimal effort.

see my other email - getting e5 back to full strength is first. i've gotten 
an
ipmi console - the java app though doesn't allow any kbd input - just 
displays.
pretty useless but ipmi serial console does work. so i was hoping that will
work for a re-install. but first get the sata stuff sorted one way or 
another.

there was an offer for new corporate sponsored infra. you have no idea how
close things were to that infra just vanishing a few weeks ago if it had 
been
used. we'd be back to begging for someone else to provide it or everyone 
having
to pony up and pay for some hosting and have given up osuosl who have 
served us
well (when you know the details).

> A. Failed at maintaining the physical aspects of our server.

i personally ordered 2 replacement drives for our server recently(ish) and i
care. i had hoped people physically closer would handle things first, but 
that
didn't happen, so i did. there are other issues which i'm sorting through 
and
have been blocked by other configuration issues.

> B. Keep having continued downtime over and over and over again.

actually we don't. we had downtime because of a software configuration issue
for years regarding qemu and logging. this would have happened anywhere with
any infra if we used vm's and had the same setup.

> C. Can never get in touch with or get a response from our server admin in
> any kind of remotely adequate timeframe.

admin, server+hosting and what runs on them are different matters. 
conflating
them all is a bad idea.

this is why our infra needs multiple hands from multiple people involved so
there is always a backup. that is what i want to happen with e5 once its 
back
up. it has to be easier to manage remotely for people who are not full-time
looking at the system and know it backwards. so system has to be pretty 
boring
and "standard" as possible. it may be less secure as a result but that's 
better
than not having multiple hands making light work.

we just had a near fatal miss above AND osuosl have done a great job over 
the
years. they have more recently been locked out of helping out much (the ipmi
thing as well as server access to OS has not been given to them like a 
working
account with root access).

the current e.org is not even running inside osuosl. it's a temporary server
meant for "getting containers set up on our original server inside osuosl".
that has not happened after 1.5 years. i'm, not interested i going into 
blame
or what should have been done when or by who. i do want to say that i 
consider
beber a friend and he has done a lot of work over the years and invested his
time and effort and more and i totally respect that.

now that temporary server runs somewhere only beber knows about right now 
and
since it seems the host had physical problems, only he can do anything about
that. i couldn't ssh in and do anything - no access was possible for me. 
this
temporary machine is e6.

the osuosl machine (e5). is up and working but 1 drive isn't responding. 
fixing
this has been delayed because ipmi access has not worked for me since the 
day
this machine was set up, nor has it worked for osuosl - they have been 
unable
to access console and do the basic power up/down etc. without physically
walking into the server room.

i have actually figured out why it doesn't work just today... it was a very
simple thing and never should/would have happened if there had been a little
less paranoia :), i spent a lot of time today getting impicfg installed and
working so i could update the user config. suffice to say that gentoo made 
this
an absolute chore. i learned a lot more about how gentoo works and my 
opinions

Hi Stephen,

What can I do to start getting things going in a new direction. The advantage 
with Linode is that then I can give access to multiple individuals to access 
the linode manager and other aspects of the server.

Are we going to go forward with this change? I am very willing to sponsor all 
this.

A. Failed at maintaining the physical aspects of our server.
B. Keep having continued downtime over and over and over again.
C. Can never get in touch with or get a response from our server admin in
any kind of remotely adequate timeframe.

Insanity is often said to be defined as doing the same thing over and over
again expecting a different result.  It is time to have an open mind to the
needs/wants of this community and make a change.

I will gladly sponsor a server to host on until we get e5 reinstalled and going 
again. 

I think here before a new server is mentioned, we need to see about decide 
about distribution as that will open up a whole new can of worms

Re: [E-devel] Gitlab/Infrastructure Slowvote

2018-09-26 Thread Jonathan Aquilina
My suggestion would be to move to a temporary server and use the full power of 
the physical server and chroots and or docker containers. I think using the 
bare metal setup right on something like centos would provide us with better 
stability. If more bleeding edge stuffnis needed go for fedora.

Re: [E-devel] Quality of bugs on phab

2018-07-29 Thread Jonathan Aquilina
Thanks for the clarification I started in on some bugs that have not had any 
activity since 2017 and some from 2016 if I don’t hear back I’ll close them and 
advise if this is still a valid issue to reopen.

I did have one dev actually close their own bug after I pointed out to them 
there hasn’t been any activity in a while on it.

My aim is to keep the tracker as clean as possible to allow you guys to focus 
on the tickets that matter.

Re: [E-devel] Mac server sponsorship

2018-07-25 Thread Jonathan Aquilina
Seeing as there is quite a bit of interest in this tonight, which is going to 
probably be the first evening relaxed at home with my wife since we got back 
from the honeymoon, I will purchase the server. Can someone open up some 
tickets on Phabricator with what you guys want me to do and what the end goal 
is that way progress can be tracked by those following the ticket.  If not I 
will open a ticket on my helpdesk.

I’m also a bit concerned about accuracy of documentation. Is everything up to 
date?

 If we have one osx system for CI builds and another one for debugging
 problems on OSX I easily see how they could be very different in terms

Re: [E-devel] Community Scheduling

2018-07-14 Thread Jonathan Aquilina
I can get a vps from Linode and sponsor it myself I can work on setting up 
docker containers for build systems if need be.

Also what is interesting is with Linode you can setup and use a GUI through 
what they call glish

https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/using-the-linode-graphical-shell-glish/

These vms might make for good little testing environments if anyone is 
interested.

Honestly though the two types of packages one needs to build binaries for are 
deb and rpm right?

Another question do we have any snaps for Ubuntu?

Re: [E-devel] Community Scheduling

2018-07-14 Thread Jonathan Aquilina
Hi Raster with what you said below and other threads I’ve seen with people 
complaining about lack of unit tests etc wouldn’t it be better to get nightly 
builds to those that like to be on bleeding edge and help us test and report 
bugs. Not to mention I think nightly builds are possible as I see a lot of 
things that get committed to the repos on a daily basis at times.

My take like this is engaging the community and user base more.

Let me ask you this and it’s more to ponder on. How much of the current user 
base is on the latest and greatest?

Not totally sure how Jenkins works but from what I have seen on the liver 
office project they use terror. You need three reviews before a patch gets 
pushed to the repository that way testing of each patch is kind of forced prior 
to pushing to the repo.

Hi Raster,

My server was grey listing the emails I have so far allowed in the
trusted hosts lists the ip address that i saw logged and have fixed the
greylisting issue on my end I am still though having issues with other
mailing lists but tits rather hard to constantly monitor they
greylisting logs.

Granted I will be putting clients on this server I am not to keen on
removing grey listing.

Re: [E-devel] Packages for fedora

2018-03-28 Thread Jonathan Aquilina
Hi Carsten,

Now that I have changed jobs and a bit more relaxed I have more time and
I am more than willing to put together a fedora spin. I think the more
distros we can have with e out of the box the better in the sense more
testing platforms and more get goign with just a simple install so to
speak and you are good to go. I know it will be alot of work but am very
interested in learning how to make my own spin. Who knows we could even
offer it through the fedora website as a download option.

Regards,
Jonathan
