15:06:10 <carloss> Feature freeze is in two weeks
15:08:05 <carloss> we currently don't have many major features targeted to this cycle
15:08:13 <carloss> we've covered a couple of changes in the mid cycle last week
15:08:21 <carloss> we can get to the changes in a bit
15:08:37 <carloss> the other piece of announcement is:
15:08:43 <carloss> Removal of the NFS Ganesha Standalone protocol helper is postponed
15:09:15 <carloss> following the discussions in the openstack-discuss mailing list and during our mid-cycle
15:09:25 <carloss> ashrodri: kindly drafted this update email:

15:10:11 <carloss> that will buy people more time to react to this
15:10:45 <carloss> and last but not least
15:11:09 <carloss> the videos from the last week's mid cycle are already available in the OpenStack Manila Youtube channel

15:12:35 <carloss> that's all I had for announcements
15:12:41 <carloss> is there an announcement you'd like to share?
15:13:29 <carloss> taking silence as no
15:13:33 <carloss> on to the next topic...
15:13:37 <carloss> #topic Unmaintained to EOL transitions
15:14:06 <gouthamr> this was me, an informational topic
15:14:35 <carloss> gouthamr: thanks for adding it to the agenda
15:15:34 <gouthamr> we had a change around the way we’d keep older git branches around in 2023; instead of having really old branches be called “stable/“ - when the community can’t maintain them adequately, they would transition to “unmaintained”
15:16:26 <gouthamr> this means, patches are still welcome; however, the branch doesn’t get the same kind of test or code review scrutiny as “stable” branches do
15:16:56 <gouthamr> there’s a global “unmaintained-core” group that assists in the upkeep of these unmaintained branches
15:17:24 <gouthamr> however, over time these branches need to head to retirement too
15:19:16 <gouthamr> that’s what happened with the “unmaintained/victoria” branch last week:
15:19:24 <gouthamr> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/releases/+/937515
15:20:19 <gouthamr> the same thing is being done with the “unmaintained/wallaby” branch now:
15:20:47 <gouthamr> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/releases/+/941458
15:21:17 <gouthamr> and xena, yoga, zed would be next
15:22:42 <carloss> so at the end, the unmaintained branches would have a smaller lifecycle as a part of this, right?
15:22:54 <gouthamr> doing these transitions will help clean up the proliferation of branches on our git repos, along with reducing confusion and reduce review burden
15:23:06 <carloss> s/part/result
15:23:35 <gouthamr> carloss: not really, these branches are now several years old, and hopefully no longer relied upon
15:24:04 <gouthamr> but, as a side effect of the SLURP model
15:24:30 <gouthamr> we decided that only SLURP releases can go from stable to unmaintained
15:25:54 <gouthamr> right now, there’s an “unmaintained/2023.1” branch - and it could remain open a little beyond when we transition “stable/2024.1” to unmaintained
15:26:24 <gouthamr> “stable/2023.2” (Bobcat) on the other hand will be retired directly
15:26:31 <gouthamr> since it’s not a SLURP release
15:27:01 <gouthamr> #link https://governance.openstack.org/tc/resolutions/20230724-unmaintained-branches.html
15:28:46 <carloss> gouthamr: ack, thank you
15:30:53 <carloss> great topic to bring up
15:30:58 <carloss> thanks for that too
15:31:06 <carloss> is there something else you'd like to add?
15:31:30 <gouthamr> ++ that’s all I had, if anyone needs these branches living longer, do let us know
15:32:04 <gouthamr> there’s a way to object to the change, and retain these branches for a little while longer
15:32:25 <gouthamr> but it would mean signing up to have a working CI on the branch
15:32:44 <gouthamr> and doing code reviews when patches need to land
15:34:29 <carloss> ++
15:34:33 <carloss> thank you!
15:35:58 <carloss> #topic Bug Triage (vhari )
15:36:04 <carloss> #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/manila-bug-triage-pad-new (Bug Triage etherpad)
15:36:18 <vhari> ty carloss :)
15:36:30 <vhari> lets dive in with 1st bug of the week
15:36:32 <vhari> #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/manila/+bug/2098090
15:37:31 <carloss> ah, I should've reported this too :/
15:37:34 <gouthamr> ah, someone is deploying the “master” branch
15:37:38 <carloss> I am addressing this at
15:37:40 <carloss> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila/+/940334
15:37:49 <carloss> still wip, I have to go and fix it
15:37:55 <kpdev> https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila/+/940464
15:38:14 <carloss> yep, the change kpdev mentioned is also addressing it for other drivers
15:38:48 <carloss> I'll update the cephfs change today... Initially I thought only CephFS NFS was affected, but cephfs native also was
15:39:01 <gouthamr> thanks, I’d set this to high, and edit both commit messages to include the bug ID
15:39:34 <carloss> ++
15:39:39 <vhari> ack, ty for a quick turn on this ++
15:39:48 <carloss> vhari: please assign this to me
15:39:57 <vhari> should we .. haha ^^
15:39:59 <vhari> will do
15:40:16 <vhari> next up #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/manila/+bug/2098181
15:42:16 <carloss> carthaca: thanks for the report
15:42:36 <gouthamr> makes sense; if “size” is in the filter string, we should look at the size_increase parameter as well
15:44:07 <carloss> ++
15:46:16 <carloss> maybe medium prio would fit it?
15:47:56 <carloss> carthaca: are you/kpdev planning on working on the fix?
15:48:42 <carthaca> I'm not planning to work on this
15:48:59 <carloss> carthaca: ack, thanks
15:50:02 <carloss> if someone feels inclined to work on it, please pick it up :)
15:50:19 <carthaca> I chose to do filtering via share type extra specs instead, but thought I could report the bug anyway
15:50:51 <carloss> yeah, the report is very useful for reference and would be nice to have the fix in place
15:51:10 <carloss> thanks for working on it
15:51:25 <vhari> ack, good catch carthaca++
15:51:51 <vhari> so if not other concerns.. lets wrap up bugs to this week folks
15:52:00 <carloss> vhari: thank you very much!
15:52:15 <vhari> ty for pitching in as always :)
15:52:38 <carloss> #topic Open Discussion
15:52:46 <carloss> so bringing up feature freeze related changes
15:53:03 <carloss> I believe we currently have only one change that is targeted to this cycle and is making changes to the API
15:53:10 <carloss> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila/+/929091 (Pass share network subnet metadata updates to backend drivers)
15:53:10 <carloss> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila/+/921831 (Dell PowerScale: Rename Isilon to PowerScale in Manila Driver)
15:53:10 <carloss> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila/+/934676 ([Netapp] Add support for prune deleted volumes)
15:53:10 <carloss> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila/+/940464 (Fix access rule update)
15:53:18 <carloss> this is a list of some changes
15:53:21 <carloss> but most are driver related
15:54:01 <carloss> so I'd like to ask: is there a feature that is already proposed to gerrit and you think you'll need extra time for it?
15:54:08 <carloss> I'm referring to feature freeze exceptions
15:54:54 <gireesh> I am working on one feature and will push the patch by 18th Feb
15:56:55 <carloss> gireesh: ack, thanks! as the change is going to be proposed to gerrit 1 week before feature freeze, it gets complicated. If we can't make it, we can merge earlier in the next cycle
15:57:47 <gireesh> thanks caloss,  changes will be less and related to netapp driver only
15:58:24 <carloss> ack :)
15:58:26 <carloss> alright, that's all I had for this meeting
15:58:45 <carloss> we're at the top of the hour, so let's wrap up
15:58:52 <carloss> thanks for participating
15:58:59 <carloss> let's get back to #openstack-manila
15:59:03 <carloss> have a great day!
