https://md.archlinux.org/s/dyjtzuJMo Raw markdown: # 2022-09-28 repod meeting Date: 2022-09-28T17:00:00Z Location: Jitsi Scribe: brett ## Attendees * alad * artafinde * brett * dvzrv * polyzen * prawn * torxed * wCPO ## Agenda ### New features * Writing to databases via transactions functionality added. * Lots of work for error checking, such as: * architecture/target checking to help guard against pushing the wrong architecture into a repository * Pushing non-debug packages into debug repo * Pushing a version that's older than the current * "Self-healing" when mistakes like that are made, i.e. corrects state when errors are encountered. Testing against upstream repositories are a little tough right now since there's no repod deployment, i.e. there's no repository yet. ### Source packages Currently, source packages are created by some script somewhere and may or may not be working as expected. repod will likely have functionality that will create/push source packages as part of the build process. It will need to do so based on license parsing. ([Issue #125](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/issues/125)) (Additionally, archweb doesn't appear to be exposing the source package download.) ### Reaching out to downstreams Reaching out to downstreams led to several visitors in the meetings. Kindly visited by Prawn from Kupfer Linux this time. We've unfortunately yet to be visited again by some of those that have previously expressed interest. It'd be good to somehow retain visitors so we get more contributions and we can all get off the manual scripting hacks we all individually write. Downstreams to contact (again): Asahi Linux, Arch Linux ARM, Valve

by David Runge 14 Sep '22

Hi all, tomorrow (2022-09-15 17:00 CEST) we will do a short follow-up to refine some tickets: https://meet.jit.si/20220915-repod Feel free to join to help refine/ split our workflow scenarios [1] into more defined/ easier to implement tickets.

14 Sep '22

Hi all, here are the rendered meeting minutes: https://md.archlinux.org/s/niC4zi6w7 Below is the raw markdown: # 2022-09-14 repod meeting Date: 2022-09-14T17:00:00Z - 2022-09-14T20:00:00Z Location: Jitsi Scribe: ## Attendees * dvzrv * wCPO * bittin * polyzen * alad * artafinde * prawn ## Agenda ### Documentation updates Documentation has been restructured to give simple usage examples and focus on getting the user to work with the CLI tooling (e.g. https://repod.archlinux.page/repod/usage.html) ### Tasks and Checks Transactional tasks are implemented to allow rolling back of changes that go wrong ([!108](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/merge_requests/108)). ### Milestone 0.3.0 The steps described in the packager workflows (see [#49](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/issues/49)) need to be split into tickets for creating Tasks and Checks. More checks need to be defined for the common packager workflows to be covered (e.g. [#102](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/issues/102)). More tasks need to be defined for common packager workflows to become atomic (e.g. [#107](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/issues/107)). The writing of sync databases needs to happen in the context of adding packages, using transactional Tasks (see [#105](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/issues/105)). ### Future work Implement atomic operations with btrfs snapshots ([#114](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/issues/114)) Setup git maintenance on management repository ([#115](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/issues/115)) -- https://sleepmap.de

[PATCH] archlinux-keyring: harcode using bash as make's shell
by Michel Alexandre Salim 12 Sep '22

12 Sep '22

Dear archlinux-keyring maintainers, Please find attached a patch to make the latest archlinux-keyring release (20220831) build on Debian/Ubuntu, where the default shell is Dash (and the build environment enforces this by passing SHELL=dash). Makefile seems to have acquired some Bash-isms ({} expansion) in 0831 that was not in 0727, and since the usage makes sense, hardcoding the shell to be bash would allow this to work without having to override Debian and Ubuntu builds for the affected targets. Thanks, -- Michel Alexandre Salim identities: https://keyoxide.org/5dce2e7e9c3b1cffd335c1d78b229d2f7ccc04f2

Hi all, please find the meeting minutes in rendered form here: https://md.archlinux.org/s/WeAd-Jd20# The plain markdown is attached below: # 2022-08-31 repod meeting Date: 2022-08-31T17:00:00Z - 2022-08-31T18:30:00Z Location: Jitsi Scribe: ## Attendees * dvzrv * wCPO * polyzen * Segaja * sradjoker * bittin * Prawn ## Endeavor OS - sradjoker from Endeavor OS is describing their setup - uses own tooling (e.g. Makefile/ scripts based) to maintain packages - most packages are reused from Arch Linux / Arch Linux ARM - confused by initial use/ what to expect from repod. adding further high level information might help first-time users ([#108](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/issues/108)) ## Demo by David David demoed importing a package and how the file structure is created. David presented the current milestone: [0.3.0](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/milestones/2#tab-issu…. ## Evaluate the minimum base set of package attributes We need to evaluate whether the base set of package attributes needs to be reduced: [#109](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/issues/109). Packagers with very limited/ small setups may otherwise run into issues. In the future the existence requirement for the various attributes could become configurable. -- https://sleepmap.de
