  • pulpcore is on github issues now! (BZs updated)
    • we need to rethink triage, planning, Epics, Milestones …
    • ggainey has been looking at github-projects to see if we can use it
      • github projects - not quite rdy for primetime
      • write scripts to take advantage of GH API?
      • label-driven queries
      • only need “current sprint” label
      • PRs-merged/issues-closed within date-range

      • or milestones? (maybe not)
    • Example query for issue-triage
  • Discuss memory use proposal Reducing Memory Usage during Sync
    • Want to look at basic PoC soon

    • we don’t warn the user about the use of the old interface

  • Discuss memory use proposal Reducing Memory Usage during Sync
  • Github issues process adjustment suggestions
  • Changelog cherry-picking problem
    • No longer using backport issues. Changelog commit removes files from the CHANGES directory. These files need to be present on ‘main’ branch until the changes are released in the latest release.
    • We need to figure out Something - because this is the last, larget, manual step blocking releases
    • Maybe each previous-branch-changelog is a separate file?
      • How?!?
