Weekly Project Infrastructure team meeting

The OpenDev Team holds public weekly meetings in #opendev-meeting, Tuesdays at 1900 UTC. Everyone interested in infrastructure and process surrounding automated testing and deployment is encouraged to attend.

Please feel free to add agenda items (and your IRC nick in parenthesis).

Agenda for next meeting

• Announcements

• Actions from last meeting

• Specs approval

• Priority Efforts (Standing meeting agenda items. Please expand if you have subtopics.)
  • Update Config Management
    • topic:update-cfg-mgmt
    • Zuul as CD engine
  • OpenDev
    • Service Coordinator position nominations
      • http://lists.opendev.org/pipermail/service-discuss/2021-January/000161.html less than a week remaining.
    • Gerrit account and group inconsistencies
      • ~1 group has a subgroup membership loop.
      • We have ~109 accounts with preferred email addresses that don't have a matching external id
        • Some of these are inactive accounts that we can more properly retire, others are accounts that can be set to inactive due to lack of external ids, some have email addresses we might convert to preferred email address, and others will need proper digging.
      • We have ~642 accounts with conflicting emails in their external ids. This needs more investigating to better understand the fix for.
      • Need to correct the ~642 external id issues before we can push updates to refs/meta/external-ids with Gerrit online.
      • Workaround is we can stop gerrit, push to external ids directly, reindex accounts (and groups?), start gerrit, then clear accounts caches (and groups caches?)
    • WIP changes (ianw 20210105)
      • Zuul should now support these properly. We need to retest.
    • Gerrit 3.3.1 includes the fix for Zuul and Zuul has the fixes too.
    • Configuration tuning
      • Using strong refs for jgit caches
      • Batch user groups and threads

• General topics
  • OpenAFS cluster status (clarkb 20210126)

    • What is server cluster status? Have they all been upgraded to 1.8.6?
      • Upgrading servers to bionic then focal in place is next?
