Hi all!
Let me invite you to the monthly status meeting taking place tomorrow,
November 29, 19:00 UTC.
As always, you will get credentials for our private IRC server shortly
before the meeting.
No agenda proposals have been submitted to me so far. If that doesn't
change, we may have a short meeting just for status reports. Please have
them ready, so we get it done quickly!
FYI, I expect the 0.4.7 Press Release to be ready tomorrow, so we can
soon send out the Press Kit and make the downloads available.
See you tomorrow!

The AHK bot crashes often these days.
I uploaded a crash dump to Fedora and discovered that these crashes are due to the network emulation (SLIRP) used in KVM.
For reference, here is the opened issue : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1509589
Since bugs with previous versions of Fedora take time to be resolved, I'm upgrading the bot to Fedora 27.
Ideas to overcome the SLIRP problems are welcome.
After all, if it crashes the virtual machine, it could also be at the source of other problems.
The AHK tests show randomness in the tests that require network,related to nonblocking mode not working, but it could involve KVM too. Kind regards, Sylvain Petreolle
IIUC we currently always build rostests, but never rosapps in CI.
Would it be possible to analyze the changed paths instead and
* enable rostests iff modules/rostests/ or sdk/ was changed
* enable rosapps iff modules/rosapps/ or sdk/ was changed?
That should speed up builds that don't change rostests, while also
making sure that changes to rosapps aren't let into master if they break
build.
If this is nontrivial I may have a look at it myself but someone would
need to point me to the right configuration/scripts please.
Thanks!
