Server Team 20080507 meeting minutes

[Mathias Gug]

Hi,

Here are the minutes of the meeting. They can also be found online with        
the irc logs here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/Server/20080507.        



==== Ubuntu Virtualization Meta Packages ====

kirkland created a meta-package to depending on all relevant packages to setup
a virtualization environment. He wanted to know how these packages should be
named and which dependencies should be included. The outcome is that there
should be a total of 3 meta packages built from the same source: ubuntu-virt-
server (server-only packages, non-gui, packages for hosting vm's, in main),
ubuntu-virt-mgmt (virt-manager), ubuntu-virt-extras (other relevant packages
from universe).

ACTION: kirkland to upload new meta-package for ubuntu virtualization things
and ask for feedback on ubuntu-server at l.u.c

==== Merges ====

mathiaz reminded that Intrepid is open for business and that Merging is the
activity of the week. soren briefly explained what merges are and pointed to
the main and universe pages [1], [2] on merges.ubuntu.com.

[2]: http://merges.ubuntu.com/universe.html

owh asked about resources covering the Merging process. soren suggested the
Package Guide [3] and mathiaz the Merging wiki page [4]. There were also a
session during last OpenWeek on the topic [5].

ivoks asked about dapper. mathiaz stated that we're still looking into fixing
bugs and doing SRUs for dapper (and feisty, gutsy). So any help in these areas
is welcomed.

==== UDS topic and preparation ====

mathiaz asked about the list of topics and sessions. dendrobates said he is
working on it and he'll publish the list of server sessions within a few days.

==== Server hardware support in the kernel ====

ivoks raised a concern about server hardware bugs that don't get the required
attention from the kernel team. mathiaz asked for bug numbers and added that
ogasawara is the person to contact.

==== Agree on next meeting date and time ====

Most of the ubuntu-server developers will be traveling to FOSSCAMP/UDS next
week and will be at UDS in two weeks. So it was decided to cancel the next two
meetings.

Next meeting will be on Wednesday, May 28th at 21:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.
