hexa | the author gave up when it was pointed out that there were lots of consumers we'd need to take care of first | 14:44:33 |
hexa | there will eventually be an issue in which we'll ping maintainers | 14:44:49 |
adamcstephens | thanks for the heads up | 14:45:57 |
adamcstephens | i see i'm pinged on a issue now https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/490996 | 15:05:33 |
adamcstephens | not sure there's going to be a good option for existing incus users. we could add an option to gate minio's inclusion behind, but how should existing installs be treated? | 15:07:49 |
hexa | not sure how deep the ties go | 15:17:25 |
hexa | but replace it with another s3 provider? | 15:17:30 |
hexa | but incus seems to want to manage s3 buckets, which ties it hard into minio | 15:18:07 |
adamcstephens | probably deep enough that it's not trivial for us to swap it out | 16:05:24 |
adamcstephens | unless there's a minio compatible implementation | 16:05:35 |
adamcstephens |
Plans, yeah, but not had any time to really look into it. We use minio in a very narrow way on our side, only to provide a basic S3 API on top of a regular filesystem and only in single mode. So we really just need to get an equivalent solution, either through one of the alternatives, or preferably just in-house as a S3 API exposed directly from the Go code.

Tom | adamcstephens: regarding joining the LXC Team. There also is the following file: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/f7f03dc67634247eb6787f664a6987c288b2da08/maintainers/github-teams.json#L610-L623
This looks like the newer way of handling team membership. So just joining/leaving via github and then a sync PR takes care of the rest.
Hoewer, for this to work i think the following change would be required:
diff --git a/maintainers/team-list.nix b/maintainers/team-list.nix
index bad67fd029fe..99d7727a4ab8 100644
--- a/maintainers/team-list.nix
+++ b/maintainers/team-list.nix
@@ -485,14 +485,7 @@ with lib.maintainers;
};
lxc = {
- members = [
- aanderse
- adamcstephens
- megheaiulian
- mkg20001
- ];
- scope = "All things linuxcontainers. Incus, LXC, and related packages.";
- shortName = "lxc";
+ github = "lxc"
};
lxqt = {
But this is just my current understanding of it and there might be further differences and considerations.

adamcstephens | hmm, i hadn't seen that that | 14:15:44 |
adamcstephens | i guess it kinda makes sense to keep them in sync, so have github be the source of truth, since it's a pingable alias too | 14:16:43 |
adamcstephens | mkg20001 and aanderse are y'all still using any of the LXC/incus stack? you've been disengaged from this maintenance and we're looking at team membership so i'm inclined to remove you both. | 14:17:41 |
adamcstephens | Tom: i'm good with moving to a github synced team | 14:18:06 |
adamcstephens | i just removed jnsgruk from the github lxc team | 14:20:51 |
mkg20001 | Im still using incus, but not really maintaining it | 14:32:45 |
adamcstephens | ok, if you don't mind we'll remove you from the team | 14:34:28 |
mkg20001 | Ok | 14:35:11 |
adamcstephens | you're always welcome back. but it's helpful to keep the team with the active list :) | 14:35:42 |
aanderse | @adam:robins.wtf: definitely still a big user of lxd but of course as you said not maintaining
the issue is... i really appreciate getting email about all the PRs ... i wish there was a way to subscribe! | 15:00:18 |
hexa | as a maintainer you get requested for reviews and that should result in an email | 19:25:49 |
hexa | maybe you are ignoring nixpkgs notifications on github? | 19:26:20 |
Tom | i think the emails are sent and received just fine but there is currently just no desire to do maintainer stuff | 19:35:44 |
adamcstephens | that's how i read it too. | 22:12:05 |
