10:18 <lindsay> Could anyone take a look at my comment on issue ovn!197 ? It is a issue closed as not planned, so I'm mentioning it here to ask for help.

10:18 <lindsay> https://github.com/ovn-org/ovn/issues/197#issuecomment-3163390837 : How can I install ovn from source and install ovs from package?

15:40 <felixhuettner> You need to compile ovn with the ovs version that is defined in the submodule of the ovn source. The most appropriate way is to statically link it.

15:41 <felixhuettner> separately you can install ovs from source in whatever version you desire

15:41 <felixhuettner> so the official APIs between ovn and ovs are compatible

15:41 <felixhuettner> but ovn depends on the exact version of the ovs source as a library. Thats why it is generally statically linked

16:15 <dceara> Hi everyone, it's time for the weekly OVN developers' meeting!

16:15 <dceara> I think Mark won't be able to join today so I'll get things started.

16:16 <imaximets> o/

16:17 <dceara> My update for this week is: posted some bug fix patches (mostly BGP integration related) and did some reviews. Thanks to MJ and fnordahl we now also have the BGP multinode test and infrastructure merged so we hope to be using that in the EVPN support Ales and I are adding.

16:17 <dceara> I'll be continuing with 25.09 reviews until branching, scheduled for August 15th.

16:17 <dceara> That's it on my side. Who else would like to share an update?

16:18 <fnordahl> o/

16:18 <imaximets> My one-liner: Not a lot of updates, did some reviews for the most part.

16:19 <dceara> Thanks, imaximets! Who would like to go next?

16:19 <fnordahl> quick one liner, internal conference this week, erlon is progressing a v2 for the udp fragmentation compromise fix and we will post a v2 soon

16:19 <dceara> Thanks, fnordahl!

16:20 <zhouhan> I started reviewing the datapath I-P patches. Hope it is not too late ...

16:20 <zhouhan> No other update from me

16:20 <dceara> zhouhan, thanks for that, definitely not too late, Mark is working on a v14 as v13 was buggy and causing lots of CI failures.

16:20 <zhouhan> dceara: thanks for the info!

16:21 <dceara> An additional update on that side is that I had run some ovn-heater scale tests with v12 to ensure we had no control plane regressions in usual use cases. All was good.

16:22 <dceara> Do we have anyone else here to share today? Or will this be one of the short(est) weekly meetings? :)

16:22 <mkalcok> One liner as well: I squeezed in one smaller review. I'll try to find other patches that I can be helpful.

16:22 <mkalcok> *with

16:23 <dceara> mkalcok, thanks for that! We're in dire need of reviews in general. :)

16:23 <imaximets> One more important update: Submit your talks for OVS+OVN conference!! https://ovscon.site

16:23 <dceara> imaximets++

16:25 <dceara> OK, that's a while without anyone speaking up to share an update, I'm going to call it a meeting.

16:25 <dceara> Thanks everyone, have a nice rest of your day!

16:25 <imaximets> Thanks! Bye.

16:25 <zhouhan5> bye!

16:25 <fnordahl> \o cheers!

23:28 <lindsay> Thank you felixhuettner. So there is not guaranteed that OVN works properly with any versions of OVS libraries other than those defined in the git submodule.

23:28 <lindsay> I'm currently working for improving Alpine Linux packaging. Can I report this to the Alpine Linux maintainers?
