  • URLField https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/models/fields/#urlfield

• GitHub sponsorship for Pulp?
  • from ewoud :
    ​​​​​​​​if you're going more and more to GH, have you considered asking for sponsorship from GH? Foreman is: https://community.theforeman.org/t/our-github-organization-is-now-sponsored-on-the-teams-plan/25414"
    ​​​​​​​​for Foreman it was just send an email and within a day we had it approved
    ​​​​​​​​they did ask to add them as sponsors on https://theforeman.org/sponsors.html but that's a fair thing to ask :)
    

  • thoughts?

Nov 2

• branch names consistency: main x master
• How much review do CI update PRs need?
  e.g.: https://github.com/pulp/pulp_deb/pull/368
  • They have already been reviewed in the plugin_template, is that enough?
  • The CI pipeline on the PR is green, is that enough?

Oct 26

• Could the following be a pulpcore issue with long artifact names?
  https://community.theforeman.org/t/katello-value-too-long-for-type-character-varying-255/24953
  • I found the cause of this issue in pulp_deb
• pulp_rpm 3.16 has not declared compatibility against pulpcore 3.17. Should pulp_deb do the same/is there a breaking change in 3.17 that ignores the deprecation policy?
  • [dalley] no, I'm not aware of one, I just left the specifier as it was since I knew we could change it in a Z release - and I wasn't sure what was going into 3.17

Oct 12

August 31

• 9247 - "Lost" workers and task-state
  • shoot a worker in the head, eventually its task gets marked as 'canceled'

• Fun with deadlocks
  • We have some known potential deadlocks, with a potential (hacky) set of fixes
  • What's the right thing to do given the root problem (postgres has no implicit ordering on queries)

• Does it make sense to start doing regular Z releases (for the latest Y stream) and not wait with bugfixes for the next Y release.
• Have a specific repo to host Github Discussions rather than use pulpcore
  • Examples: https://github.com/github/feedback
• Libera/matrix bridge is live: https://fosstodon.org/@liberachat/106320476905973945
• no-meeting-Fridays June-August - should we resched the second triage-mtg? Or just have one per week?

• Dependabot is suggesting upgrading major versions of dependencies a lot.

  • Unlike tags, removing the category will remove it from older issues
  • Options: (1) that's ok (2) create a SC tag, add it to older issues, then remove it
• Please update and test your dev environment with https enabled
  • In theory you can run the tests with https now
