Retiring https://m2.duraspace.org
- Technical but has community impact, esp with F3
- Compiling F3 requires external libraries
- 15-20 of the dependencies are not found in the world
- so m2 hosts them
- m2 also host other unused services
- only older F3 compiles use it?
- Duraspace would like to shut down the server
- Older versions can be installed, but need m2 to be built from source code
- A script could be written to enclose the dependencies for a build
- A volunteer from the community could step up and host the dependencies
- Univ of Toronto is willing to host, but needs upper level approval
- How frequently is this host utilized?
- Andrew can check logs
- It was shut down once and 2 people complianed
- Islandora and UNC
- How frequently is this host utilized?
- Univ of Toronto is willing to host, but needs upper level approval
- As a project, when do we pull the plug on this?
- Impact if Duraspace just runs it for another 12 months?
- Would roll into Fedora budget - ~$1k/yr and Andrew's time
- 15-20 of the dependencies are not found in the world
- Group suggests that that we keep m2 around for a year and tell the users who are dependent that it is going away
- Add to the budget discussion for next year
Securing commitments for Fedora maintenance tasks
- Healthy development going on
- Feature Sprints
- Web Access control
- Filling in architecture gaps
- Feature Sprints
- All bugs are assessed against core priorities and assessed higher if they match
- We are not seeing very much development around the core priorities or their bugs
- Have tried schedules and maintenance sprints
- Has not produced much in results
- Lack of action on bugs is discouraging to community
- Andrew would like to be able to ask if someone is available to fix a bug directly
- Andrew suggests a commitment per dev per month to handle bugs that come in
- Would it be a disincentive to ask leaders to add people time?
- Maybe we should hire developers?
- To be discussed at next Steering Call
