JayFWhat review "bar" should be applied to something like https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/diskimage-builder/+/1006200 15:36
JayFis checking to make sure the sources all point to a correct place, and that it looks plausible good enough?15:37
JayFI don't want these folks to wait, but I'm unwilling to invest a "test the change" amount of time in an oracle linux related thing.15:37
clarkbJayF: yes I think general shape is probably sufficient there. Maybe we should insist on a note in the element README that the oracle linux element is untested and the dib maintainers are unsure of its functionality15:39
clarkbbasically make sure the element isn't doing anything malicious and that it follows the basic shape of building an rpm based distro image. Then warn people it is untested?15:40
clarkbbut also we don't have to accept it either15:40
JayFI assume the submitters have tested it; so asking themselves to put a "untested" in the readme feels a little silly?15:40
clarkbI disagree. They are not the ones who will be complained to when it stops working or if it doesn't work to begin with15:41
clarkbthe change has to be written from the perspective of the end result not the proposal15:41
clarkbif that makes sense15:41
JayF"There are no active DIB maintainers who use oracle linux. Can we add a note here that DIB doesn't run CI or actively test this element, but if bugs are found patches are accepted?"15:42
clarkbyup I think that sounds great15:43

JayFthey have two bugfixes in there which might be generally useful, I asked em to split it15:47
