Hi Cephers,

These are the topics covered in today's meeting:

  • [Patrick] Any objections to running clean-ci now? Do you have any important branches in ceph-ci?
  • [Radek] Switching default build type for non-.git builds to RelWithDebInfo. This affects downstreams (if no build type is specified)!
    • Matan's PR: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/61637/
    • [Sam] Can it be done with CFLAGS instead? To be announced in ceph-dev. Set default/fall back to Release, which seems the safest.
    • [Greg] Not all releases are of "Release" type, some include debug info.
    • [Matan] 1. Release: `-O3 -DNDEBUG`
                2. Debug: `-O0 -g`
                3. RelWithDebInfo: `-O2 -g -DNDEBUG`
                4. MinSizeRel: `-Os -DNDEBUG` 
    • [JosephM] this needs to be backported.
  • 18.2.5 is next, right? Can it be quick pls?
  • QA question: do we test upgrade from the candidate  to the current maj_ver+1? This kind of thing should have been caught.
  • [Neha]To be followed up offline (QA is currently blocked by the ceph-ci too-many-branches issue).
  • [Joseph Mundackal] - containerized builds
  • Open trackers to build on ubuntu 24
  • [Adam Kraitman] Virtualization solution for hosting the lab services
    • VMWare (IBM paid/agreement with Broadcom) vs. Proxmox
    • [DavidG] temporary (~1 year) solution while infra is containerized.
    • [Greg] precedent of iSCSI. 
    • NVMe-oF support in Proxmox? Not needed, librbd.

Discussion on Tentacle schedule postponed till next week.

Kind Regards,
Ernesto
