[Michael Meffie]

OpenAFS Release Team weekly meeting

Date: February 23, 2023
Participants:
- Stephan Wiesand, OpenAFS Release Manager
- Ben Kaduk
- Cheyenne Wills
- Michael Meffie
- Mark Vitale

The OpenAFS Release Team meetings are held on IRC each Thursday at 17:00 UTC
on the #openafs-releaseteam channel of Libera.Chat.

Stable (1.8.x)
==============

Discussions on gerrit 15300, currently under review by Ben and Andrew.  This
change was submitted for stable since it reduces code skew, however is not
suitable for stable as-is, since it changes a public API (as pointed out by
Ben).  A seperate 1.8 commit will be proposed by Cheyenne to revert the API
change.  Ben has a separate question about the rx_conn_data lock in the gerrit
discussion.

Development (1.9.x/master)
==========================

A fix for the parallel build error recently seen on buildbot was submitted
by Andrew:

15328 libtool: Make libfoo.krb depend on libfoo

Linux
=====

Cheyenne reports linux 6.2 final is okay for master and stable.

At least two OpenAFS changes will be required to support linux 6.3,
one simple change, and one more complex change.  Changes will
be pushed to gerrit.
