Here are the notes from this week's CLT call. The call focused heavily on release process, specifically around figuring out which patches are required for a release. - 17.2.7 status - A few more FS PRs and one core PR then we can start release process - Trying to finalize list of PRs needed for 18.2.1 - General discussion about the process for getting the list of required PRs for a given release - Using per-release github milestones. E.g. a milestone specifically for 18.2.1 rather than just reef - Would require fixing some scripts that refer to the milestone - https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/main/src/script/backport-resolve-issue - For now, continue using etherpad until something more automated exists - Create pads a lot earlier - Could use existing clt call to try to finalize required PRs for releases - should be on agenda for every clt call - couple of build related PRs that were stalled. - for a while, it's not possible to build w/FIO - PR https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/53346 - for a while, it's not possible to "make (or ninja) install" with dashboard disabled - PR https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/52313 - Some more general discussion of how to get more attention for build PRs - Laura will start grouping some build PRs with RADOS PRs for build/testing in the ci - Can make CI builds with CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug - https://github.com/ceph/ceph-build/pull/2167 - https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/53855#issuecomment-1751367302 - https://shaman.ceph.com/builds/ceph/wip-batrick-testing-20231006.014828-debu... - relies on us removing centos 8 from all testing suites and dropping that as a build target - Last Pacific? - Yes, 17.2.7, then 18.2.1, then 16.2.15 (final) - PTLs will need to go through and find what backports still need to get into pacific - A lot of open pacific backports right now Thanks, - Adam King
