| ## Minutes | ||
|
|
||
| ### Rebuilding EPEL for x86_64 v2 | ||
| - Cody: Introduced the topic of rebuilding EPEL for the x86_64 v2 architecture. Noted that previous votes focused on v3 and there was ambiguity regarding v2. | ||
| - Andrew: Expressed concerns about the potential workload and maintenance challenges. | ||
| - Highlighted the need to adjust macro systems and spec files. | ||
| - Did not want to maintain changes or forks on our side. | ||
| - Jonathan: Clarified that the build system can reasonably supports this | ||
| - Andrew: Yes, not a problem | ||
| - Neal: Pointed out that Fedora still builds for v1 and EPEL packages are Fedora backports, so issues might be minimal. | ||
| - Neal: Emphasized the importance of EPEL for the usability of RHEL-based distributions. | ||
| - Neal: Suggested that releasing without EPEL support might hinder adoption. | ||
| - Alex: Agreed with Andrew’s concerns. | ||
| - Neal: Can do this in stages, thinks we should approve it and see demand to make further decisions | ||
| - Jonathan: Proposed tabling the decision to gather more data on user demand and revisit the topic after the release of AlmaLinux Kitten. | ||
| - Neal: Warned that releasing AlmaLinux 10 without EPEL support for x86_64 v2 could impede adoption/usage | ||
| - Suggested that if they decide not to build EPEL for v2, they should consider not releasing the v2 variant at all. | ||
| - Decision: The team agreed to table the motion and reassess after AlmaLinux Kitten is released. | ||
|
|
||
| ### GitHub Repository for Official Changes/RFCs | ||
|
|
||
| - Cody: Presented a PoC for a GitHub repository to manage Requests for Comments (RFCs) and official changes [[1]](https://github.com/codyro/alesco-poc/) | ||
| - Inspired by ArchLinux and Rust RFC processes. | ||
| - Neal: Suggested replacing the “Alternatives” section with a “Feedback” section to capture community input. | ||
| - Neal: Emphasized that submitting an RFC does not obligate the ALESCo committee to implement it; contributors should be responsible for the work. | ||
| - Neal: Proposed adding sections about the benefit to AlmaLinux and feedback from the community/marketing perspective | ||
| - Jonathan: Agreed with the proposed changes | ||
| - Jonathan: Discussed the possibility of mentoring contributors who might need assistance. | ||
| - Jonathan: Suggested directing contributors to the appropriate SIGs (Special Interest Groups). | ||
| - Cody: Agreed to incorporate the feedback and adjust the RFC template accordingly and share the updated template for further input | ||
| - Cody: Mentioned the need for an example template using a past decision. | ||
| - Neal: Jonathan and him can draft up the x86_64_v2 one as an example | ||
| - All: Decided to use the existing ALESCo repository for managing meeting agendas and issues instead of creating a new one. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Alternating Meeting Schedule | ||
| - Cody: Brought up the idea of alternating meeting times to accommodate participants in different time zones. | ||
| - Cody: Found it unfeasible at this time due to scheduling conflicts and global distribution of team members. | ||
| - Cody: Proposed to reassess the possibility in the future. | ||
| - All: Agreed to put the idea on the back burner and revisit it in a few months if meetings gain more traction. | ||
