  • 11/12
    • Qt6 migration is complete.
    • Reviewing updates to cgroupv1
  • 11/26
    • Should discuss alternatives to LXC and whether IC EG should use a different solution (see gerrit 30510 for complications related to keeping LXC with cgroupsv2). Should keep upstream first in mind vs. creating a bunch of one-off code we need to maintain. Ideally we would have a solution where someone can use a container (LXC or other) “out of the box” without the need to for the external container manager.
      • LXC support for two-layer isolation
      • Yamaguchi-san created container-manager on github. Question of whether this will remain on github or moved to gerrit and whether Yamaguchi-san will maintain the code long term.
      • SAT would like to see additional documentation so that we do not have a single point of knowledge.
      • Discussed gerrit 30504 particularly the need for image-mount.sh
  • 12/10

    • VOS uploaded more virtio patches to gerrit for review.
  • 11/12
