Task:Maemo OBS:Meeting Minutes

Meetings for Maemo OBS are held on FreeNode in #maemo-meeting Mondays at 15:00 UTC.

Meeting on June 4th 2012
Logs


 * X-Fade reports on progress with Maemo OBS
 * Found a bug in gcc that was causing high VM usage in some compiles.
 * The new OBS can use targeted gcc versions, but may cause issues.
 * SB2 setup is on-going. We have contact with the maintainer and may have a sub-optimal but functional deb version soon.
 * Javispedro notes there are issues with SB2.3 pre building in Fremantle. He created a patch that gets around it, but it should be fixed up stream if possible.
 * Also noted, SB2 has different paths for it's toolchain (vs SB1).
 * Q&A session with X-Fade and Javispedro about current state and issues around OBS.
 * Javispedro will likely be out for two meetings after next week (18th/25th).

Q & A about OBS (taken from various meeting minutes)
Q: What are the current roadblocks? A: Getting bootstrapping for SB2 is currently on-going, which just takes time & experimentation. Authentication of OBS is also an issue, as it requires moving the user database to LDAP.

Q: Will the new OBS be slower than the old system? A: It shouldn't be, as a large part of the build will be done via cross-compile instead of emulated local compile.

Q: Will maintainership issues be easier with OBS? A: Yes, as OBS has a more granular ACL system that allows permissions to be broken up. It's far more script-able than the current system.
