15:04:39 <PagliaccisCloud> lol just triggered a spambot warning
15:06:39 <PagliaccisCloud> #topic RDOinfo reorganization proposal
15:07:01 <amoralej> that's mine
15:07:17 <amoralej> so, historically rdoinfo has been problematic in terms of rebases
15:07:26 <amoralej> and gating
15:07:37 <amoralej> to make sure we only run relevant jobs for a change
15:07:43 <amoralej> as it's a branchless project
15:07:48 <ykarel> o/
15:07:55 <amoralej> and all metadata is in a couple of files
15:07:55 <PagliaccisCloud> #chair ykarel
15:07:55 <openstack> Current chairs: PagliaccisCloud amoralej baha jpena mjturek mwhahaha number80 ykarel
15:08:19 <amoralej> i think we could improve that by spliting rdoinfo in more files
15:08:46 <amoralej> rdo.yml and deps.yml would have basic packages info, all but tags and buildsys-tags
15:09:08 <amoralej> and then create a file per tag, i.e. stein-uc, stein-py3-uc, rocky, etc...
15:09:19 <amoralej> with only the info related to each tag
15:09:30 <amoralej> and one file per CBS tag
15:09:40 <amoralej> with the list of builds in the tag
15:10:03 <amoralej> that'd avoid much of the unnecessary rebases we need to do today
15:10:30 <amoralej> and would make very easy to identify the jobs to run on each job
15:10:36 <amoralej> based on modified files
15:10:49 <amoralej> zuul allows that easily, right?
15:10:56 <amoralej> jpena, ^ correct me if i wrong
15:11:15 <jpena> let me check.
15:11:34 <amoralej> so only files modifying cloud7-openstack-queens-testing would trigger oooq job for queens-testing release
15:11:37 <amoralej> and so on
15:11:55 <amoralej> currently we have a script to identify when a job is required, create a flag file
15:12:16 <jpena> yes, we can use "files" in the zuul definition to define which files should trigger a job
15:12:23 <amoralej> and have logic in oooq jobs to exit if the file exist, but that's done once the job is started
15:12:24 <amoralej> ok
15:12:37 <amoralej> other option would be to use branches
15:12:51 <amoralej> that also could help
15:13:10 <amoralej> but personally, i think keeping it branchless and use diferent files is better
15:13:42 <amoralej> or we would have to read all branches to get all the info for a package, which is ugly, imo
15:13:59 <amoralej> wdyt?
15:14:29 <amoralej> if you are ok with this change, we can discuss all impacted things by it
15:14:46 <jpena> I wouldn't use branches, it would make rdopkg life very hard
15:15:08 <amoralej> yeah, exactly
15:15:22 <number80> +1 for splitting rdoinfo into different files
15:15:33 <PagliaccisCloud> +1
15:15:43 <number80> jruzicka: are you around? ^
15:15:53 <amoralej> let me add some info here for the record
15:16:22 <amoralej> #info goal of the proposal: optimize rebases and CI jobs assignment in rdoinfo repo
15:16:25 <ykarel> +1
15:16:45 <amoralej> #info proposal: reorganize rdo.yml and deps.yml in more files
15:17:29 <amoralej> #info rdo.yml and deps.yml would keep all existing info but tags and buildsys-tags which would go into separated fies per tag and buildsys-tag
15:17:50 <amoralej> in order to implement that we need several things
15:18:21 <amoralej> #action amoralej check if current distroinfo supports this proposed reorganization in parsing methods
15:18:40 <amoralej> as per jruzicka it may be the case
15:18:54 <jruzicka> o/
15:18:55 <amoralej> we also need to check that rdopkg keeps working fine
15:19:15 <amoralej> jruzicka, topic is what we discussed yesterday about rdoinfo reorganization
15:19:22 <PagliaccisCloud> #chair jruzicka
15:19:22 <openstack> Current chairs: PagliaccisCloud amoralej baha jpena jruzicka mjturek mwhahaha number80 ykarel
15:19:53 <jruzicka> #info distroinfo supports packages and releases inheritance so it's possible to split rdoinfo into multiple files
15:20:05 <amoralej> i'm concerned with the diff-tags commands in rdoinfo, as part of the feature is in the rdopkg itself
15:20:10 <amoralej> i need to check that
15:20:41 <amoralej> #action amoralej check if rdopkg comands as diff-tags keep working fine or need fixes
15:20:44 <jruzicka> while multiple patches branches support is possible, vector instead of scalar is a rise in complexity so one patches branch for one distgit is preferred
15:21:13 <amoralej> jruzicka, when i mentioned of using branches i meant in rdoinfo itself
15:21:22 <amoralej> one branch for rocky, for example
15:21:29 <amoralej> one for queens and so on
15:21:39 <amoralej> but i think it's much worst
15:21:51 <amoralej> that keeping it branchless and distributing in files
15:22:08 <amoralej> the other thing that we need is to adjust all jobs we have
15:22:17 <amoralej> which propose automatically reviews to rdoinfo
15:22:30 <jruzicka> current structure is insufficient for maintaining multiple releases?
15:22:35 <amoralej> we will have to fix all of that
15:22:43 <amoralej> jruzicka, it has some problems
15:22:43 <jruzicka> maintaining stuff across branches is much harder than just files
15:22:49 <amoralej> yeah
15:23:17 <amoralej> current structure has a couple of issues, rebases and CI jobs
15:23:40 <amoralej> i think it's worthy to invest some time in improving it
15:24:14 <jruzicka> it would be nice to make draft of all the problems and proposed solutions before changing mostly working system
15:24:27 <number80> Yup, I guess it's worth working on requirements during the next weeks
15:24:30 <amoralej> ok
15:24:34 <amoralej> makes sense
15:24:39 <amoralej> an etherpad is ok?
15:24:52 <jruzicka> yeah let's collect exact requirements, current problems, things that simply could be better
15:24:55 <rdogerrit> Merged config master: Create rocky-rdo branch for glare  https://review.rdoproject.org/r/16719
15:25:02 <jruzicka> etherpad came to mind first, yeah
15:25:25 <amoralej> #action amoralej to create an etherpad about the topic, with current issues, requirements and proposal
15:25:37 <amoralej> i'll send a mail to the mail list when ready
15:25:44 <amoralej> and we can discuss there
15:25:49 <jruzicka> great and then we can discuss the individual points here
15:26:03 <jruzicka> ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
15:26:18 <PagliaccisCloud> :D
15:26:29 * jruzicka stole that from PagliaccisCloud
15:26:35 <amoralej> ok
15:26:54 <amoralej> ok, then i think it's enough for the topic today
15:27:03 <amoralej> thanks for your inputs
15:27:25 <PagliaccisCloud> ok, starting next topic
