Meeting Minutes

StackStorm v3.9 release

The pytest+pants updates have been merged to master to correct certain failures in the CI.

Pack Testing

Pants and Makefile tests are run in parallel to ensure testing is consistent between both build systems.
Jacob observed lint failing in the Exchange CI related to third party python modules that have dropped support for python 3.8.

Action

Carlos to check if python 3.9 support is available in Rocky 8.

Eventlet

Jacob recommends changing major release to v4.0 for the removal of eventlet.

We still need an architectural overview of the current use of eventlet and where we want to be when migrating. This will give a better view of steps required to complete the required work.
Jacob has indicated he can work on this after the pants migration is completed.

Pants

Jacob has got most of packaging working now and needs to be broke up the changes into manageable pull requests. :party:

Missing Packages for St2 v3.9

Ronnie reported via slack that the st2web + chatops packages for jammy have not been built.

Action

Carlos to investigate how these packages are built, but most likely need to trigger actions from master to rebuild from the github repository.

Outstanding Pull Requests for Hubot

Jake has open two issues against hubot stackstorm to add features to chatops.

Action

Pull requests to be reviewed to have the changes merged for the v3.9 release.

Installed Packages
Name         : python39
Version      : 3.9.20

We should use python3.9 on EL8 as python 3.8 went EOL on RedHat 8 in 2023:
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhel-app-streams-life-cycle
But python3.9 on EL8 is supported until Nov 2025.

But that might require build changes to the EL8 packages.
