   -

   Python3 migration:
   - Some confusion existed about Py2 support in RHEL etc. Should we bother?
         - [Amar] For upstream, focusing on just 1 version is good, and
         confusion less. Downstream projects can decide for themselves
about how to
         handle the project, when they ship it.
         - [ndevos] Maybe we need to decide which distributions/versions we
         want to offer to our users? Many run on CentOS-7 and there is
no reasonable
         way to include Python3 there. I assume other commonly used stable
         distributions (Debian, Ubuntu?) are also lacking Python3.
         - [Atin] Are we not supporting python2 at all? What are the
         patches intended to?
         - [ppai] Code is mostly py2 and py3 compatible. The issue is with
         #! line, where we have to have specific python2 or python3.
Fedora mandates
         it to be one of it.
         - [Atin] My vote would be to go for both py2 & py3 compatibility
         and figure out a way how to handle builds?
         - [Amar] Need a guidelines about how to handle existing code Vs
         reviewing new code into the repository.
         - [ppai] Many companies are moving towards new project being
         python3 only, where as supporting py2 for existing projects.
         - [AI] Amar to respond to Nigel’s email, and plan to take to
         completion soon.
      - If we go with only python3, what is the work pending?
      - What are the automated validation tests needed? Are we good there?
   -

   Infra: Update on where are we.
   - Distributed tests
         - [Deepshika] jobs are running, figuring out issues as we run
         tests.
         - Need to increase the disk storage.
      - Coding Standard as pre-commit hook (clang)
         - In progress, need to finalize the config file.
         - AI: all gets 1 week to finalize config.
      - shellcheck?
         - [Sac] shellcheck is good enough! Does check for unused variable
         etc.
      - Anything else?
   -

   Failing regression:
   -

      tests/bugs/core/bug-1432542-mpx-restart-crash.t
      - consistently failing now. Need to address ASAP. Even if it takes
         disabling it.
         - It is an important feature, but not default in the project yet,
         hence should it be blocking all the 10-15 patches now?
         - Mohit/Xavi’s patches seems to solve the issue, is it just fine
         for all the pending patches?
         - [Atin] We should try to invest some time to figure out why the
         cleanup is taking more time.
         - [Xavi] noticed that selinux is taking more time (semanage).
         Mostly because there are many volumes.
         - [Deepshika] I saw it takes lot of memory, is that a concern?
         - [Atin] It creates 120 volumes, so expected to take more than 1GB
         memory, easily.
         - [Nithya] Do we need so many volumes for regression?
         - [Atin] Looks like we can reduce it a bit.
      -

      tests/00-geo-rep/georep-basic-dr-rsync.t
      - Test itself passes, but generates CORE. Doesnt’ happen always.
         - Not a geo-rep issue. The crash is in cleanup path, in gf_msg()
         path.
      -

      Any other tests?
      -

   Round Table
   - <Everyone gets to talk/make a point>
      - [Atin] - Timing works great for me.
      - [Nithya] - Anyone triaging upstream BZs?
      -
         - Most like not happening.


Regards,
Amar
