rwmjones_, ah, they are submitting F39 changes?
<davidlt>
Rawhide and then F40
<rwmjones_>
davidlt: I'm reviewing and adding comments ...
<rwmjones_>
yes, Release is wrong for a few of those
<davidlt>
rwmjones_, could students provide more details too?
<rwmjones_>
yup I made that comment on a few of those
<rwmjones_>
I also noticed a few where they've disabled tests w/o providing any explanation, which I really don't like
* rwmjones_
is looking at 'mold' right now
<davidlt>
Yeah, I want slow-burn approach kinda.
<davidlt>
non-trivial/hacky changes need to be re-evaluated.
<rwmjones_>
yes I'll reject any which just disable tests w/o very good reasons
<davidlt>
yeah, there are definitely a few of those on our side to speed up things, but for PR this needs to be correctly done
<davidlt>
rwmjones_, this came up in Matrix today. Could someone rebase gnu-efi finally?
<davidlt>
rwmjones_, some changelog entries have wrong dates too.
<rwmjones_>
is gnu-efi one of those packages like grub where we're essentially maintaining a downstream fork?
<rwmjones_>
it has 50 patches at the moment
<rwmjones_>
anyway, not something I'm going to touch lightly, maybe ask hughsie?
<rwmjones_>
or peter jones
Guoguo has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<davidlt>
rwmjones_, I need it for systemd-boot, and it's way easier to rebase compared to GRUB2
<davidlt>
Neal needs it for something too
<davidlt>
ah, for btrfs-efi to build
<davidlt>
So many email from those PRs
<rwmjones_>
scipy really takes forever to compile ...
<rwmjones_>
davidlt: I'm not necessarily going to require that they bump Release and add a %changelog entry, although if they *do* it then should do both consistently
<rwmjones_>
for ease of merging changes it's sometimes better to have neither
<davidlt>
yeah, but I want maintainer to spin a build with unique NVR that has only riscv changes
<davidlt>
just allows separating all other changes from riscv bits
<davidlt>
and I want that clean changelog entry that states riscv64 support
<davidlt>
I am taking a break from looking at these
