[12:13] <meena> one of the things that most annoy me about python is that in order to create a function with an empty list default parameter, you have to do def nofun(a=None): a = a if a is not None else [] 
[12:13] <meena> Because, if you don't do that, your list is mutable by default
[12:13] <meena> boooo
[14:18] <meena> holmanb: you back to your own timezone?
[14:24]  * meena wonders if she can do something to move cloud-init from /run to /var/run on FreeBSD…
[14:24] <meena> or, BSD, for that matter
[14:43] <holmanb> meena: still living nomadically
[17:37] <SuperLag> What is the safest way to use the current version of cloud-init on RHEL 9?
[17:38] <SuperLag> because there has been a metric ton of work done since 22.1 and now
[17:39] <SuperLag> holmanb: where are you these days? do you like the road warrior life?
[17:49] <blackboxsw> SuperLag: we generally point folks to test out the copr builds we have @  https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/cloud-init/el-testing/ which we update each tested and verified quarterly upstream release. From the looks of the copr repo we need to add the el9 builders to that to generate you a package for el9.
[17:50] <blackboxsw> If you are looking to live dangerously we also have a builder https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/cloud-init/cloud-init-dev/ built from tip of main
[18:27] <SuperLag> blackboxsw: installing/using a newer cloud-init, that's not going to break the underlying system, is it?
[18:41] <meena> 🤞🤞
[18:48] <SuperLag>  meena is that to me? 😂
[18:56] <meena> SuperLag: nah, you have nothing to worry about. i didn't touch any code paths you care about
[18:57] <falcojr> SuperLag: I'd test it out first. Every downstream adds their own additions to make things work for their system
[18:58] <falcojr> it's possible there's a patch we don't have upstream that could break something for you
[19:14] <meena> I wonder how many downstreams don't upstream their patches cuz they don't wanna sign the CLA
[19:17] <meena> falcojr: are y'all back to a somewhat normal schedule after the issue migration?
[19:19] <falcojr> We're back to a normal schedule, but the issue migration is separate and still going. It'll take a couple days because of Github rate limiting.
[19:26] <holmanb> SuperLag: Just visiting a friend in the Netherlands for a week.
[19:26] <holmanb> SuperLag: Though I wouldn't mind giving road warrior life a try.
[19:27] <SuperLag> holmanb: oh yeah? We lived in Amstelveen for ~2 years. I worked for my employer at our customer (UPC) when I was over there. The Hooligan (my 11yo girl) was born there in Amstelveen.
[19:29] <holmanb> SuperLag: cool :)
[19:29] <SuperLag> Have you embraced the bike-everywhere life yet?
[19:30] <holmanb> I'm loving it
[19:31] <holmanb> Just got back from a ride from Utrecht for food, exercise, and fun.
[19:53] <minimal> I found cycling (in the part where I was) in Germany to be "boring" as everything was flat lol. I was used to cycling up and down hills when young
[20:34] <SuperLag> minimal: I'm in Portland, OR and it's quite hilly here. I remember Portland being described as the most bike-friendly city in the US... and after a couple years in NL, I feel like it's a big joke.
[20:40] <meena> minimal: try Vienna
[20:41] <meena> definitely less dangerous these days, but the hills are still there
[20:43] <meena> So, who can help me with some tests?
[20:43] <falcojr> meena: what do you need?
[20:44] <meena> two tests here are failing https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/2146 but only because now it behaves like parse_mount_info
[20:44] -ubottu:#cloud-init- Pull 2146 in canonical/cloud-init "FreeBSD fix parsing of mount and mount options" [Open]
[20:50] <falcojr> I'll take a look
[20:55] <meena> falcojr: i updated the mbr pull request twice today, but didn't see your review
[20:56] <meena> I think is_BSD is fine, even tho NetBSD and OpenBSD don't support growpart / growfs online
[21:08] <falcojr> meena: tests are failing because a non-existent path returns stuff when it should be returning None
[21:09] <meena> falcojr: it returns / which kinda makes sense: this is where it would end up in
[21:09] <falcojr> and in particular, "stuff" is the last line of mount
[21:10] <meena> oh
[21:50] <meena> falcojr: updated the MBR PR.
