@hexa:lossy.networkhexathe author gave up when it was pointed out that there were lots of consumers we'd need to take care of first14:44:33
@hexa:lossy.networkhexathere will eventually be an issue in which we'll ping maintainers14:44:49
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensthanks for the heads up14:45:57
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensi see i'm pinged on a issue now https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/49099615:05:33
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensnot 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:lossy.networkhexanot sure how deep the ties go15:17:25
@hexa:lossy.networkhexabut replace it with another s3 provider?15:17:30
@hexa:lossy.networkhexabut incus seems to want to manage s3 buckets, which ties it hard into minio15:18:07
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensprobably deep enough that it's not trivial for us to swap it out16:05:24
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensunless there's a minio compatible implementation16:05:35
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephens

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.

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.

@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephenshmm, i hadn't seen that that14:15:44
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensi guess it kinda makes sense to keep them in sync, so have github be the source of truth, since it's a pingable alias too14:16:43
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephens 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
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephens Tom: i'm good with moving to a github synced team 14:18:06
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensi just removed jnsgruk from the github lxc team14:20:51
@mkg20001:mkg20001.iomkg20001Im still using incus, but not really maintaining it14:32:45
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensok, if you don't mind we'll remove you from the team14:34:28
@mkg20001:mkg20001.iomkg20001Ok14:35:11
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensyou're always welcome back. but it's helpful to keep the team with the active list :)14:35:42
@aanderse:nixos.devaanderse

@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:lossy.networkhexaas a maintainer you get requested for reviews and that should result in an email19:25:49
@hexa:lossy.networkhexamaybe you are ignoring nixpkgs notifications on github?19:26:20
@tom:dragar.deTomi think the emails are sent and received just fine but there is currently just no desire to do maintainer stuff19:35:44
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephensthat's how i read it too.22:12:05
