I'll probably bring it up on the next meeting. - 14:11 < Mihai> other than that, I have recently released X2Go Client 4.0.4.0. outstanding releases are x2gobroker and nx-libs. - 14:11 < Mihai> Mike#1 mentioned some problems with nx-libs-lite (on the 3.5.0.x branch) - 14:11 < Mihai> I'd like to know more about that - 14:12 < Mike#1> I looked at the tarball roller script for nx-libs-lite. - 14:12 < Mike#1> I wanted to upload a new upstream release of nx-libs-to Debian and realized that the 3.5.0.31 contains several files that should not be there. - 14:12 < Mike#1> debian/** - 14:13 < Mike#1> .pc/** - 14:13 < Mike#1> nx-libs.spec - 14:13 < Mike#1> etc. - 14:13 < Mike#1> also I added support to roll-tarball.sh to build HEAD of the current branch. - 14:13 < Mike#1> then, 1234-patchname.suffix patches were not supported. - 14:13 < Mike#1> only 1234_patchname.suffix. - 14:14 < Mike#1> then, the main COPYING file is some license mixup copied from nxcomp/LICENSE. - 14:14 < Mike#1> I replaced that by a GPL-2 license, because that is the major license on most of the files anyway. - 14:14 < Mike#1> and the most restrictive license. - 14:14 < Mike#1> etc.etc. - 14:17 < Mihai> anyway, regarding roll-tarball.sh: is this a regression I introduced, or a general problem that has been around for some time now? - 14:19 < Mike#1> both, I guess. - 14:19 < Mike#1> the roll-tarball.sh script on 3.6.x and 3.5.0.x are really different - 14:19 < Mike#1> I am currently testing both against each's branch - 14:20 < Mihai> ok - 14:21 < Mike#1> note, that I also have the DXPC license doc patch in my hands at the moment. - 14:22 < Mihai> so probably a good thing I didn't release a new version yet, do you have an ETA? I don't want to interfere when you're working on it anyway and duplicate work - 14:22 < Mike#1> btw. the plan is to release 3.6.x in Octobre 2015. - 14:22 < Mike#1> yeah. Doing it now. Having a meeting at 15:30h. - 14:23 < Mike#1> so, sometime later today... - 14:23 < Mihai> I'm not available through the weekend... including very restrictedly tomorrow - 14:24 < Mihai> don't mind if it's taking longer - 14:24 < Mike#1> ok. - 14:25 < Mike#1> Questions? Comments? - 14:25 < Mihai> thanks a lot for bringing the problem up - 14:27 < Mihai> looking forward to 3.6.x, I believe there have been some changes regarding the roadmap and X2Go. we want to switch to 3.6.x earlier than planned and make incompatible changes to 3.7.x, right? - 14:28 < Mike#1> That is the plan for TheQVD and for Arctica, yes. - 14:28 < Stefan> Mike#1: Do you have a snail-mail contact address for Mr. DXPC yet? - 14:28 < Mike#1> For X2Go, I recommend the same. - 14:28 < Mike#1> The only invasive change in 3.6.x is the Xinerama work provided by Ulrich. - 14:28 < Mike#1> If it gets ready by Octobre. - 14:29 < Mihai> uh and the BIGREQUESTS thing - 14:29 < Mike#1> BIGREQUESTS -> 3.7.x. - 14:29 < Mihai> not really invasive, but breaking something - 14:29 < Mike#1> Stefan: the mail contacts I have are all mentioned in #784565 (DebBTS). - 14:29 < Mihai> ah, yes, you were talking about 3.6.x-only - 14:30 < Mike#1> Brian Pane (the original author) never got back to me. - 14:30 < Mike#1> Neither did Gian Filippo Pinzari from NoMachine - 14:30 < Stefan> Mike#1: no, not e-mail, snail-mail. - 14:31 < Mike#1> Stefan: ah... No. - 14:31 < Stefan> Mike#1: for the one guy that we did get a reply from - 14:31 < Mike#1> We did get reply from two guys. - 14:31 < Mike#1> Zach Volner and Kevin Vigor (current maintainer, inactive) - 14:32 < Mihai> what do you need their postal addresses for? - 14:32 < Stefan> Mike#1: the current maintainer was the one I was asking about - 14:32 < Stefan> Mihai: To send him a package of blue pills (no, not viagra) maybe? ;) - 14:33 < Mihai> ah, sure, why not - 14:35 < Mike#1> Stefan: I don't have the snail-mail address of Kevin, sorry. - 14:36 < Heinz> Alex: there was no known contact before - as far as I know... - 14:36 < Heinz> ? - 14:36 < Alex> nope - 14:38 < Mike#1> Ok. X2Go Broker maintainer. - 14:39 < Mike#1> Heinz mentioned interest in taking over maintenance for the broker, right? - 14:39 < Mike#1> Is that still up-to-date? - 14:39 < Mihai> Stefan: I guess you can ask him nicely, after all he responded to x2go-dev - 14:44 < Stefan> And if that's still up-to-date, I'm curious how that will work out regarding Heinz's restrictions coming from his main job. - 14:44 * Mike#1 needs to leave in 15min... - 14:45 < Mike#1> We should get more of a flow into this meeting. - 14:45 < Mihai> I've been waiting for him to answer... - 14:45 < Mike#1> Heinz: ? - 14:45 * Stefan looks for his electric cattle prod - 14:46 < Mihai> it's written in python and I don't have any use case or even setup for the broker, so I'm not keen or even comfortable taking maintainership for it. - 14:46 < Heinz> Mike#1: at the moment, there are not enough ressources that I can spend on the borker - 14:46 < Heinz> broker - 14:47 < Stefan> <off-record comment><snark>borker, indeed.</snark></off-record comment> - 14:47 < Mike#1> Heinz: ok. So I will advertise it in Essen to the people there, then. Ok? - 14:47 < Heinz> Mihai: my staffmember is trained in python and there is a discussion up and running - but at the moment he is on vacation (child-time) - 14:48 < Heinz> Mike#1: I rely on his knowledge and some other decissions which will not be made before august - 14:49 < Mihai> I guess we should still ask around. just in case someone actually *is* willing to take over. - 14:49 < Stefan> Heinz: Could your staff member join us virtually, by means of skype, appear.in, or whatever, at the Gathering? - 14:49 < Heinz> Mike#1: please do so, but keep in mind that this is a criticy component to the whole project... - 14:50 < Mike#1> Heinz: ok. - 14:50 * Mike#1 agrees with Mihai. - 14:50 < Heinz> Stefan: I'll need to ask him! - 14:51 < Stefan> Heinz: please do. - 14:51 < Heinz> [**----------] in progress (don't expect his answer in the next minutes - he's on vacation) - 14:51 < Mihai> okay... otherwise, my list is running empty - 14:52 < Mihai> Fedora 22 has been released recently, so this will require a few changes to the buildscripts and jenkins config I have on my todo list, but nothing too special - 14:52 < Mihai> maybe one point: there is a chance that fedora removed the python binary with FC22 - 14:53 < Mike#1> in favour of python2 and python3 binary? - 14:53 < Mihai> if they didn't, we're good - if they did, we're screwed, because stuff like the broker depends on a pure "python" command - 14:53 < Mihai> yes - 14:53 < Mike#1> yeah, that can be easily fixed. - 14:53 < Mihai> what do our python packages expect? - 14:53 < Mihai> python2 or python3? - 14:53 < Mihai> do they work with either? - 14:53 < Mike#1> Everything is python2. - 14:54 < Mike#1> So, they need to be ported to python3 finally. - 14:54 < Mihai> okay, so whenever I hit a problem, I'll hardcode python2 for now - 14:55 < Mike#1> or file a bug... - 14:55 < Mike#1> against x2gobroker package. - 14:55 < Stefan> maybe do both? ;) - 14:55 < Mihai> well I need to change "python" to either anyway - 14:56 < Mihai> I know the current rawhide builds are failing for this specific reasons, will see how FC22 behaves. it might not be a problem for FC22, but I need to evaluate that - 14:57 < Mihai> and my last point, the RasPi2 stuff, is still TBD - 14:58 < Mihai> I have it running off an NFS root and it's been idling for a week, so it looks like it's stable enough at least - 14:58 < Stefan> Regarding the RasPi2 stuff - we will be moving that to Switzerland in the near future, where we have been offered free hosting. We'll work out the details in a face-to-face meeting with the hosting provider on June 9th. - 14:59 < Mihai> Stefan: I don't like that idea too much. we will not have hands-on access to it. - 15:00 < Mihai> and it'll also require extra HW, unless they provide a decently sized NFS share - 15:00 < Stefan> Mihai: You don't have hands-on access to japsand and all the others, either. - 15:01 < Stefan> Mihai: We get at least one RasPi2 and one full-fledged server. - 15:01 < Mihai> Stefan: yes, but japsand has a bootable recovery system and a reboot facility - 15:01 < Mihai> to fix raspberry pi boot issues, you have to take out the SD card - 15:01 < Stefan> Mihai: Maybe Heinz can explain how his RasPi hoster handles that. - 15:02 < Mihai> especially if they are kernel- or cmdline-related - 15:02 < Heinz> Stefan: the whole traffic for backups is at the moment "for free" and incridible fast for the internal network of "hetzner" - the traffic towards suisse needs to be paid - 15:03 < Stefan> Heinz: Well, I'd assume you'd use rsync/rsnapshot, only transferring deltas - 15:03 < Heinz> Stefan: there is a power switch web console... it works now (finally) - 15:04 < Mihai> Heinz: but boot issues will leave the device in a broken state until someone can put their hands on it - 15:04 < Heinz> Stefan: please keep in miend that the situation may change (if the sponsoring is cut off) - there needs to be a structured way back - 15:04 < Heinz> but what I really like would be to have our test machines there including public testing - 15:05 < Heinz> because the suisse privacy protcting laws would make demo systems a lot of easier - 15:05 < Stefan> Heinz: I'm not saying you should cease making Hetzner-internal backups. I'm just voting for an additional, external one. - 15:06 < Heinz> Mihai: YES - I was offline for one week as you remember - there is not only gold regarding remote hosting - 15:06 < Heinz> Stefan: additional ressources are great!!! - 15:06 < Mike#1> Mihai: 3.5.0.x changes have been pushed. Please check. - 15:06 < Mihai> Heinz: even if someone *is* online, neither of one has telekinetic capabilities to carry out hands-on support over the internet - 15:07 < Mihai> Mike#1: already doing - 15:07 < Heinz> Stefan: please ask the sponsor about offering public demo instances - 15:07 < Mike#1> For 3.6.x I created a branch and a PR (for myself). https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/pull/44 - 15:07 < Stefan> Heinz: I strongly doubt anyone will want to run a public demo instance with free-for-all access and anonymous users. - 15:07 * Mike#1 is running to the next meeting. - 15:08 < Mike#1> _o/ - 15:08 < Heinz> Mike#1: bye! - 15:08 < Mike#1> bye - 15:08 < Stefan> Heinz: such a system would be an invitation for warez and (kiddie)porn trade - 15:08 < Mihai> bye - 15:08 < Stefan> bye Mike#1 - 15:08 < Mihai> Stefan: teamviewer does just that - 15:08 < Stefan> Mihai: They do? Where? - 15:09 < Mihai> Stefan: check their website, they have a demo feature - 15:09 < Heinz> teamviewer has been bought... - 15:09 < Mihai> at least they did - 15:11 < Mihai> looks like they removed the demo machines/feature - 15:12 < Mihai> I can distinctly remember having used this a year or two ago - 15:13 < Heinz> sry - need to leave in 2 minutes - I'll keep this window open... - 15:14 < Alex> I need 2 go too.

I'll probably bring it up on the next meeting. 14:11 < Mihai> other than that, I have recently released X2Go Client 4.0.4.0. outstanding releases are x2gobroker and nx-libs. 14:11 < Mihai> Mike#1 mentioned some problems with nx-libs-lite (on the 3.5.0.x branch) 14:11 < Mihai> I'd like to know more about that 14:12 < Mike#1> I looked at the tarball roller script for nx-libs-lite. 14:12 < Mike#1> I wanted to upload a new upstream release of nx-libs-to Debian and realized that the 3.5.0.31 contains several files that should not be there. 14:12 < Mike#1> debian/** 14:13 < Mike#1> .pc/** 14:13 < Mike#1> nx-libs.spec 14:13 < Mike#1> etc. 14:13 < Mike#1> also I added support to roll-tarball.sh to build HEAD of the current branch. 14:13 < Mike#1> then, 1234-patchname.suffix patches were not supported. 14:13 < Mike#1> only 1234_patchname.suffix. 14:14 < Mike#1> then, the main COPYING file is some license mixup copied from nxcomp/LICENSE. 14:14 < Mike#1> I replaced that by a GPL-2 license, because that is the major license on most of the files anyway. 14:14 < Mike#1> and the most restrictive license. 14:14 < Mike#1> etc.etc. 14:17 < Mihai> anyway, regarding roll-tarball.sh: is this a regression I introduced, or a general problem that has been around for some time now? 14:19 < Mike#1> both, I guess. 14:19 < Mike#1> the roll-tarball.sh script on 3.6.x and 3.5.0.x are really different 14:19 < Mike#1> I am currently testing both against each's branch 14:20 < Mihai> ok 14:21 < Mike#1> note, that I also have the DXPC license doc patch in my hands at the moment. 14:22 < Mihai> so probably a good thing I didn't release a new version yet, do you have an ETA? I don't want to interfere when you're working on it anyway and duplicate work 14:22 < Mike#1> btw. the plan is to release 3.6.x in Octobre 2015. 14:22 < Mike#1> yeah. Doing it now. Having a meeting at 15:30h. 14:23 < Mike#1> so, sometime later today... 14:23 < Mihai> I'm not available through the weekend... including very restrictedly tomorrow 14:24 < Mihai> don't mind if it's taking longer 14:24 < Mike#1> ok. 14:25 < Mike#1> Questions? Comments? 14:25 < Mihai> thanks a lot for bringing the problem up 14:27 < Mihai> looking forward to 3.6.x, I believe there have been some changes regarding the roadmap and X2Go. we want to switch to 3.6.x earlier than planned and make incompatible changes to 3.7.x, right? 14:28 < Mike#1> That is the plan for TheQVD and for Arctica, yes. 14:28 < Stefan> Mike#1: Do you have a snail-mail contact address for Mr. DXPC yet? 14:28 < Mike#1> For X2Go, I recommend the same. 14:28 < Mike#1> The only invasive change in 3.6.x is the Xinerama work provided by Ulrich. 14:28 < Mike#1> If it gets ready by Octobre. 14:29 < Mihai> uh and the BIGREQUESTS thing 14:29 < Mike#1> BIGREQUESTS -> 3.7.x. 14:29 < Mihai> not really invasive, but breaking something 14:29 < Mike#1> Stefan: the mail contacts I have are all mentioned in #784565 (DebBTS). 14:29 < Mihai> ah, yes, you were talking about 3.6.x-only 14:30 < Mike#1> Brian Pane (the original author) never got back to me. 14:30 < Mike#1> Neither did Gian Filippo Pinzari from NoMachine 14:30 < Stefan> Mike#1: no, not e-mail, snail-mail. 14:31 < Mike#1> Stefan: ah... No. 14:31 < Stefan> Mike#1: for the one guy that we did get a reply from 14:31 < Mike#1> We did get reply from two guys. 14:31 < Mike#1> Zach Volner and Kevin Vigor (current maintainer, inactive) 14:32 < Mihai> what do you need their postal addresses for? 14:32 < Stefan> Mike#1: the current maintainer was the one I was asking about 14:32 < Stefan> Mihai: To send him a package of blue pills (no, not viagra) maybe? ;) 14:33 < Mihai> ah, sure, why not 14:35 < Mike#1> Stefan: I don't have the snail-mail address of Kevin, sorry. 14:36 < Heinz> Alex: there was no known contact before - as far as I know... 14:36 < Heinz> ? 14:36 < Alex> nope 14:38 < Mike#1> Ok. X2Go Broker maintainer. 14:39 < Mike#1> Heinz mentioned interest in taking over maintenance for the broker, right? 14:39 < Mike#1> Is that still up-to-date? 14:39 < Mihai> Stefan: I guess you can ask him nicely, after all he responded to x2go-dev 14:44 < Stefan> And if that's still up-to-date, I'm curious how that will work out regarding Heinz's restrictions coming from his main job. 14:44 * Mike#1 needs to leave in 15min... 14:45 < Mike#1> We should get more of a flow into this meeting. 14:45 < Mihai> I've been waiting for him to answer... 14:45 < Mike#1> Heinz: ? 14:45 * Stefan looks for his electric cattle prod 14:46 < Mihai> it's written in python and I don't have any use case or even setup for the broker, so I'm not keen or even comfortable taking maintainership for it. 14:46 < Heinz> Mike#1: at the moment, there are not enough ressources that I can spend on the borker 14:46 < Heinz> broker 14:47 < Stefan> <off-record comment><snark>borker, indeed.</snark></off-record comment> 14:47 < Mike#1> Heinz: ok. So I will advertise it in Essen to the people there, then. Ok? 14:47 < Heinz> Mihai: my staffmember is trained in python and there is a discussion up and running - but at the moment he is on vacation (child-time) 14:48 < Heinz> Mike#1: I rely on his knowledge and some other decissions which will not be made before august 14:49 < Mihai> I guess we should still ask around. just in case someone actually *is* willing to take over. 14:49 < Stefan> Heinz: Could your staff member join us virtually, by means of skype, appear.in, or whatever, at the Gathering? 14:49 < Heinz> Mike#1: please do so, but keep in mind that this is a criticy component to the whole project... 14:50 < Mike#1> Heinz: ok. 14:50 * Mike#1 agrees with Mihai. 14:50 < Heinz> Stefan: I'll need to ask him! 14:51 < Stefan> Heinz: please do. 14:51 < Heinz> [**----------] in progress (don't expect his answer in the next minutes - he's on vacation) 14:51 < Mihai> okay... otherwise, my list is running empty 14:52 < Mihai> Fedora 22 has been released recently, so this will require a few changes to the buildscripts and jenkins config I have on my todo list, but nothing too special 14:52 < Mihai> maybe one point: there is a chance that fedora removed the python binary with FC22 14:53 < Mike#1> in favour of python2 and python3 binary? 14:53 < Mihai> if they didn't, we're good - if they did, we're screwed, because stuff like the broker depends on a pure "python" command 14:53 < Mihai> yes 14:53 < Mike#1> yeah, that can be easily fixed. 14:53 < Mihai> what do our python packages expect? 14:53 < Mihai> python2 or python3? 14:53 < Mihai> do they work with either? 14:53 < Mike#1> Everything is python2. 14:54 < Mike#1> So, they need to be ported to python3 finally. 14:54 < Mihai> okay, so whenever I hit a problem, I'll hardcode python2 for now 14:55 < Mike#1> or file a bug... 14:55 < Mike#1> against x2gobroker package. 14:55 < Stefan> maybe do both? ;) 14:55 < Mihai> well I need to change "python" to either anyway 14:56 < Mihai> I know the current rawhide builds are failing for this specific reasons, will see how FC22 behaves. it might not be a problem for FC22, but I need to evaluate that 14:57 < Mihai> and my last point, the RasPi2 stuff, is still TBD 14:58 < Mihai> I have it running off an NFS root and it's been idling for a week, so it looks like it's stable enough at least 14:58 < Stefan> Regarding the RasPi2 stuff - we will be moving that to Switzerland in the near future, where we have been offered free hosting. We'll work out the details in a face-to-face meeting with the hosting provider on June 9th. 14:59 < Mihai> Stefan: I don't like that idea too much. we will not have hands-on access to it. 15:00 < Mihai> and it'll also require extra HW, unless they provide a decently sized NFS share 15:00 < Stefan> Mihai: You don't have hands-on access to japsand and all the others, either. 15:01 < Stefan> Mihai: We get at least one RasPi2 and one full-fledged server. 15:01 < Mihai> Stefan: yes, but japsand has a bootable recovery system and a reboot facility 15:01 < Mihai> to fix raspberry pi boot issues, you have to take out the SD card 15:01 < Stefan> Mihai: Maybe Heinz can explain how his RasPi hoster handles that. 15:02 < Mihai> especially if they are kernel- or cmdline-related 15:02 < Heinz> Stefan: the whole traffic for backups is at the moment "for free" and incridible fast for the internal network of "hetzner" - the traffic towards suisse needs to be paid 15:03 < Stefan> Heinz: Well, I'd assume you'd use rsync/rsnapshot, only transferring deltas 15:03 < Heinz> Stefan: there is a power switch web console... it works now (finally) 15:04 < Mihai> Heinz: but boot issues will leave the device in a broken state until someone can put their hands on it 15:04 < Heinz> Stefan: please keep in miend that the situation may change (if the sponsoring is cut off) - there needs to be a structured way back 15:04 < Heinz> but what I really like would be to have our test machines there including public testing 15:05 < Heinz> because the suisse privacy protcting laws would make demo systems a lot of easier 15:05 < Stefan> Heinz: I'm not saying you should cease making Hetzner-internal backups. I'm just voting for an additional, external one. 15:06 < Heinz> Mihai: YES - I was offline for one week as you remember - there is not only gold regarding remote hosting 15:06 < Heinz> Stefan: additional ressources are great!!! 15:06 < Mike#1> Mihai: 3.5.0.x changes have been pushed. Please check. 15:06 < Mihai> Heinz: even if someone *is* online, neither of one has telekinetic capabilities to carry out hands-on support over the internet 15:07 < Mihai> Mike#1: already doing 15:07 < Heinz> Stefan: please ask the sponsor about offering public demo instances 15:07 < Mike#1> For 3.6.x I created a branch and a PR (for myself). https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/pull/44 15:07 < Stefan> Heinz: I strongly doubt anyone will want to run a public demo instance with free-for-all access and anonymous users. 15:07 * Mike#1 is running to the next meeting. 15:08 < Mike#1> _o/ 15:08 < Heinz> Mike#1: bye! 15:08 < Mike#1> bye 15:08 < Stefan> Heinz: such a system would be an invitation for warez and (kiddie)porn trade 15:08 < Mihai> bye 15:08 < Stefan> bye Mike#1 15:08 < Mihai> Stefan: teamviewer does just that 15:08 < Stefan> Mihai: They do? Where? 15:09 < Mihai> Stefan: check their website, they have a demo feature 15:09 < Heinz> teamviewer has been bought... 15:09 < Mihai> at least they did 15:11 < Mihai> looks like they removed the demo machines/feature 15:12 < Mihai> I can distinctly remember having used this a year or two ago 15:13 < Heinz> sry - need to leave in 2 minutes - I'll keep this window open... 15:14 < Alex> I need 2 go too. (bye) 15:14 < Mihai> okay, let's conclude the meeting then 15:14 < Heinz> we should remember the people towards a) X2Go Gathering, b) Next Meetinmg 15:14 < Mihai> thank you for participating and your valuable input 15:15 < Heinz> Mihai: thank you for hosting this session! 15:15 < Alex> (y) 15:15 -!- Alex has quit 15:15 < Stefan> NOTICE: X2Go's annual community event, "X2Go: The Gathering 2015" will take place at Linuxhotel, Essen, Germany, from 2015-06-19 to 2015-06-21.
