This covers the last several meetings, for which I failed to send minutes. Sorries.
# zlib-ng
We want to replace zlib with zlib-ng (in compat mode) for CentOS 10 Stream. In support of that, it would be interesting to rebuild CentOS 9 Stream with zlib-ng in the buildroot (again, in compat mode).
AI: Florian to talk to some folks and see what can be done to support the zlib-ng transition effort.
# ISA SIG meeting at FOSDEM
I've confirmed internally that there will be some CentOS-related activity in the days before FOSDEM. There could even be a slot in the official schedule for the ISA SIG if we wanted that.
# Blog post highlighting Intel work on GCC 13
Previously, in a separate venue, Intel shared their GCC 13 performance work. We wanted to encourage them to write a blog post about it, but it turns out that it already exists:
Build Innovation and Performance with GCC* 13 https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/build-innovation-and-performance-with-gcc13.html
# Upcoming AArch64 work.
There might be some AArch64 work items in the ISA SIG space in the future (validating a GCC bug fix, and experimenting with LSE atomics now that the Raspberry Pi 5 with support for them has been announced).
Thanks, Florian
