## Wolfgang (Package Hub), Scott Bahling

- receiving reports of missing dependencies (for SP5), generating a
full list which are missing
Wolfgang: regarding build power, I managed to get workers running, but
they're still crashing / rebooting.
All workers in OBS/IBS are investigated, both are running at different
kernel version.

task for lkocman: The problem statement (SLES/SLED expectations)

## Maintenance team (Marcus or Maurizio (m4u))

## Open Floor
- Next Wednesday is November 1st, a holiday in many places, should we
cancel the meeting?
Monday not Wednesday then? Seems like we'll have multiple attendeds who
will be online. So not cancelling.

RPM 4.19? Lubos, you want to fill in this with some context from
yesterday's meeting?
jsc#PED-7197 - openned against ALP
From Dan Cermak: It would be beneficial to have RPM 4.19 in the ALP
code stream. RPM 4.19 has a big breaking change for us: it ships its
own sysusers provides & requires generator that conflicts with our
version provided by sysuser-tools that was originally written by
Thorsten Kukuk. This means that shipping rpm 4.19 also requires us to
revisit all packages that use the sysusers generators.
Imho we should implement this change ASAP in ALP as long as the code
stream is still young and we can have potentially breaking changes. The
longer we delay it, the harder it will become to implement.
