## Old Business
- Have the i386 build host issues been fixed?
  - (rrq) partially: the return of build005 makes i386 builds possible,
    but sometimes Jenkins still chooses the buggy build015. That host
    and the arm hosts still need upgrade of jenkins-debian-glue.

  - (LeePen) and I think the buggy buildhosts are running ascii which
    needs jenkins-debian-glue-buildenv-devuan upgrading to version
    0.18.4.99+devuan2 (beowulf) in dak.
    - (kramer) can maybe help on this regarding database migration
    - will get in contact with LeePen to get this done (and cleaning up)

## Old Actions
- Forum to collaborate on Arm Builds created:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewforum.php?id=24

## New Business
- Should Evilham apply his proposed patch to amprolla? YES!
  https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20190914.151803.224e1f02.en.html
- Should ASCII 2.0.0 isos be removed from files.devuan.org?
  - YES and rrq will archive
    - (plasma) As an example, Debian hosts their archive at
      ftp://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/
      and their current releases at
      ftp://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/
  - (yeti) there is no need to keep old stuff on every mirror but please
    keep them somewhere (archive.devuan.org?).
- rrq provided the torrent link but we also need a magnet link. Can
  anyone do that?
  - (plasma) Given the final torrent file, I can generate the
    corresponding magnet link
- cinnabar grub styling not working in installer. :(
- the new build pipeline, all on "the Devan infrastructure", is
  materializing thanks to LeePen's tireless pursuit. (with the exception
  of an "armel" build host)
- beowulf ISOs now in progress. Now awaiting a new build of
  base-installer, to reduce the /usr/bin linking to expert mode, and
  possibly also accomodate that grub styling.

### LeePen

Nice to be here!

New Devuan infra status:

#### jenkins
- Running on jenkins.devuan.dev.
- Has existing buildhosts plus 4 new (i386, amd64, arm64 and armhf;
armel is wip)
- Issues with importing existing users. Can people with ci.devuan.org
logins please try them on jenkins.devuan.dev and report back?
- (kramer) considering to let this be done by a technical user

##### still to do:
- import current jobs from ci.devuan.org (if this is possible?)
- #devuan-ci output: same channel new nickname or new channel?
- get releasebot to send it some jobs for testing.
- backups?

#### dak
- installed on devuan ganeti host.
- existing package archive imported.

##### still to do:
- resolve issues with built-using dependencies (only affects
debian-installer).
- lots of cruft to clean out.
- cron jobs.
- send jenkins jobs output to new dak (I think this is releasebot
again). In parallel with production dak for testing?
- get amprolla(s) to use new dak.
- consider merge of current debian git HEAD.
- backups?

## New Actions
- Rebuild 2.1 isos to fix a few issues (to 2.2?) NO. Will stay at 2.1
  - (rrq) thinks it's more like a 2.1.1, although rather avoiding new
    version code. There are no changed software from 2.1. Upgrade in
    progress: including openrc packages on cd-1 and dvd-1, and avoiding
    checksum confusion for isolinux.bin

- (kramer) create a mirror in Germany (Dresden)
- Contact Evilham and onefang

- Evilham, please apply the patches to amprolla but with the ability to
roll back if something goes pear-shaped.

- rrq will archive ascii 2.0.0 isos to reduce torrent size

- Meets will continue on Thursdays @20:30 UTC
