14:15:12 <anthonyper> Hi.
14:15:14 <gwd> Good morning. :-)
14:15:16 <sbonazzo> hi
14:15:34 <anthonyper> We don't wait until the 1June to use the brand new channel? :-)
14:15:59 <gwd> Why wait?  I always prefer playing with my new toys as soon as possible. :-D
14:16:07 <anthonyper> :D
14:16:23 <gwd> New meeting rooms aren't exactly toys, but I sort of feel the same way.
14:16:51 <gwd> OK, let's get started.  sbonazzo?
14:16:57 <sbonazzo> gwd sure
14:17:03 <sbonazzo> #topic oVirt updates
14:17:25 <sbonazzo> #info upstream preparing to release 4.3.4, aligning content in Virt SIG repos
14:17:57 <sbonazzo> #info upstream development on 4.4 ongoing, 4.4 tags created in Virt SIG CBS build system
14:18:15 <sbonazzo> #info waiting for CentOS 8 for starting building there too
14:18:34 <sbonazzo> that's it from oVIrt side
14:18:45 <gwd> anthonyper, you want to do the Xen side?
14:18:58 <anthonyper> #topic Xen updates
14:19:14 <anthonyper> #info Xen packages rebuild with XSA297 applied, available in testing
14:20:39 <anthonyper> #info xen's own kernel rebuild with security patches, also available in testing
14:20:57 <gwd> Is it about time we pushed those to release?
14:21:02 <anthonyper> #info Also, on CentOS 7, the kernel is now built with GCC7.
14:21:23 <anthonyper> Some of them, yes, I think it's been a week.
14:22:01 <anthonyper> gwd: I think that's all I have.
14:22:36 <gwd> Remind me what the issue is with gcc versions -- that newer kernels won't build with older versions of gcc?
14:22:45 <gwd> What's the status on that, wrt C6 and C7?
14:23:30 <anthonyper> gwd: I've craft a simple patch to be able to build it on C6.
14:23:54 <anthonyper> https://github.com/CentOS-virt7/xen-kernel/blob/master/SOURCES/i2c.patch
14:24:48 <anthonyper> I think the issue was anonymous union, or something, that don't work with old gcc.
14:25:29 <gwd> OK, so we're good for now; at least, until we upgrade to 4.15 or 4.19.
14:25:59 <anthonyper> :-), we might only upgrade on el7, I guess, if el6 is an issue.
14:26:21 <gwd> Yes, we may have to.  But that's a decision for a bit later I guess.
14:26:26 <gwd> #topic AOB
14:26:40 <gwd> Anything else to cover?  sbonazzo, everything going OK with you?
14:27:10 <sbonazzo> gwd: nothing else to add, thanks
14:27:14 <gwd> Oh, we're supposed to do another quarterly SIG report by the end of June; sbonazzo, do you have time to write one up again?
14:27:40 <sbonazzo> gwd: June will be a bit loaded, but I can try
14:28:00 <gwd> OK, thanks -- if you can't do it just let me know and I'll try to make time.
14:28:24 <gwd> Anything else? alynpost / cmb-prgmr, anything to raise?
14:30:40 <alynpost> Nothing to raise.  We've been patching like everyone else.
14:30:54 <gwd> OK, great, thanks everyone!
