Agenda for next meeting

• Announcements

• Actions from last meeting

• Specs approval

  • 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
    • Configuration tuning
      • Using strong refs for jgit caches
      • Batch user groups and threads

• General topics
  • OpenAFS cluster status (clarkb 20210119)
    • New packages built for CentOS
    • Need to sort out openafs-client installation on Debian Buster
    • Are we properly installing openafs-client on Xenial?
    • https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/771268
  • Picking up steam on Puppet -> Ansible rewrites (clarkb 20210119)
    • Enable Xenial -> Bionic/Focal system upgrades
  • Discuss infra-core (on behalf of OpenStack) (mnaser)
  • two-review rule impact on low-activity projects (zbr 20210115)
    • projects like git-review rely on infra team and delay changes
    • risks for enabling exceptions? how could we expose these in gerrit?
    • apparently that issue is affecting multiple projects, maybe we can think about a generic solution?
  • Bup and Borg Backups (clarkb 20210105)

• Open discussion
