Meeting notes

3.2 GA:

• Foreman_host plugin: Debian packages not building. @upadhyeammit is wondering if we can get this in before GA tomorrow. @ekohl says this should be fixed now Do we want to wait to release the host_plugin for 3.2.1? - @upadhyeammit will followup with @lzap.

• Modularity: @upadhyeammit are still going to use the work around for modularity, @ekohl wanted to discuss with evgeni how far they would take modularity with this release. It doesn’t look like the full fix will be in this release, but @ekohl is moving forward with the foreman documentation PR[1]. This is not a full solution for the modularity problem, but is part of the fix in the long run.

• Unusal foreman version number: was an issue because the nightly repos were still connected to foreman 3.2 for a night, but it shouldn’t be an issue anymore now that nightly releasers are not configured for 3.2 anymore.
