*********************************************** FRR Technical Meeting Notes - February 27, 2018 *********************************************** Policy on support for EOL platforms ----------------------------------- - Should we support EOL platforms? Group consensus = No - Moving forward we will not explicitly support EOL platforms - Keep these platforms in CI, but remove as soon as it becomes inconvenient to maintain - Seeing as Centos 6 went EOL in May 2017, it is no longer supported; to be noted in docs Kernel minimum version requirement discussion --------------------------------------------- - What should our policy be on minimum kernel version needed for networking features? - Paul Z: Zebra should warn if a user tries to configure a feature and it's not supported - Martin W: `show features` command to inform user would be useful - Others: Agreed on both counts - Donald: If we implement the above, developers should be mindful when implementing kernel-specific features to update both of these things and it will be something to look for in future code reviews. Issues ------ Updates in individual issues. #1777, #1778 - Discussion postponed until Lou is present #1794 - General group consensus to stick with kernel style in this regard #1803 - Some people recall this being fixed in the past, Renato to take a look Pull Requests ------------- Updates in individual PRs. - #1711: Namespace VRF now in, thanks Philippe - #1704: Some packaging nits to fix, then good to go; ETA < 1 week Topotest PEP8 ------------- Martin & Rafael not too keen on reformatting whole codebase right now due to activity, but agree it might be worth looking at in the future.
