barry * (continued) gmb to work on the review web site15:07
barrythis topic came up on the asiapac meeting15:07
barrythumper has thoughts about using launchpad to help kill off PR and not spending a lot of extra time on a separate project15:08
barrythumper is going to write his thoughts up on the wiki15:08
gmbWell I haven't had a lot of time to spend, so that's fine with me ;)15:08
barrygmb: have you gotten a chance to look at review-board?15:08
gmbbarry: No, as I'm sprinting this week without a hotel internet connection :(. But I will as soon as I get chance.15:09
barryi wonder if we could do something quick and dirty, like bring that up on devpad while we wait for uber-reviews on lp15:09
barryi read the article but haven't had time to grab the code and fire it up15:09
gmbI wonder how easy it would be to get lp-review working with it...15:10
barrydoes anybody else have thoughts on using review-board in the short term?15:10
barrygmb: that, and bzr15:10
gmbYes.15:10
statikthe tricky thing with review-board is getting it to accept our diffs15:10
statikI never finished adding bzr support to review-board15:10
statikdue to lack of time15:10
barrystatik: did it seem like a lot of work?15:11
statikit shouldn't be that hard, but it's more time than I have right now15:11
statikthe devs would be happy to get a patch for that15:11
BjornTis review-board web-only, or can you access it via a command line tool, or e-mail?15:11
statikno email (well, notifications I think)15:11
statikweb and rest api15:11
statikbut the review itself is done by clicking in ajaxy things in the web ui15:12
BjornTthen it gets a big -1 from me. i don't want to use a browser to do reviews15:12
flacoste-115:12
flacostesame here15:13
sinzui-115:13
flacostereview-board doesn't solve the PendingReviews problem at all15:13
* sinzui likes his tools15:13
barryok, then let's not waste any more time on it15:13
barrythanks for the feedback!15:13
barry * (continued) sinzui to look into running `make lint` and output PR stanza by default in `review-submit`15:13
sinzuibarry: I have not...I completely forgot.15:14
* sinzui sets a todo15:14
barrysinzui: np, thanks15:14
barry[TOPIC] queue status15:14
MootBotNew Topic:  queue status15:14
barryi know we had a ton of branches while the sprints were happening last week.  thanks everyone for working hard to clear the backlog!15:14
barrythere's still a lot of pink in pending-reviews, but i think we'll catch up15:15
barryanybody have any comments on the queue?15:15
barryhow have on-calls gone this week?  any comments on that?15:16
barry515:16
bacyesterday was fine.  didn't have much on-call traffic so i caught up on PR reviews15:16
jtvFor which we thank bac15:16
bigjoolsI think a couple of sprints have reduced on-call significantly15:16
barryindeed, thanks bac!15:17
bigjoolswe should consider having backup reviewers on-call15:17
gmbIt wouldn't have been so bad, but most of the remaining reviewers were mentees :/15:17
bigjoolsindeed15:17
barryyep15:18
bigjoolsI dread putting something on PR and wondering when it will get reviewed!15:18
barrybigjools: PR needn't be post-and-forget.  even if you have a branch on PR, you can still ping an on-caller if they're available, or your reviewer if need be15:19
barrybut yeah, if we have more branches than cycles to review them, we need more reviewers or fewer branches15:20
bigjoolsbarry: I can but with timezone issues plus a lack of on-call reviewer it makes it harder15:20
barrybigjools: yep15:20
jtvCould we also ping the on-call and say "have a branch for me?"15:20
barryjtv: you mean if you have spare cycles to review stuff?15:21
jtvbarry: right15:21
barryjtv: you have spare cycles?! :)15:21
bacjtv: grand idea15:21
jtvbarry: no, but I do get pangs of guilt sometimes15:21
* bigjools has an 800-line soyuz branch waiting for someone just like jtv :)15:22
barryjtv: ah yes, guilt can overcome oppressively stressful overworking sometimes :)15:22
jtvbigjools: jtv is currently reviewing a 2000-line one15:23
bigjools!15:23
barry:-o15:23
* bac remembers when 2000+ was the norm... :(15:23

barry   * Release-critical review (flacoste)15:29
barryflacoste: the floor is yours15:29
flacosteok, this is about clarifying the process around release-critical reviews15:29
flacostethe process should be this:15:29
flacoste1- when submitting a RC branch for review, make sure that the reviewer is aware that this is a RC branch15:30
flacoste2- if you cannot complete the RC review, make sure that there is someone assigned to complete the review before you leave15:30
flacostethis means talking to another available reviewer that will do the job once you leave15:30
flacostewe probably need to make the whole team aware of (1)15:31
flacosteany comments?15:31
bigjoolssounds good to me15:32
barry+1.  flacoste, can you capture this on a wiki page?15:32
