Due to time constraints the meeting was dedicated to the upcoming bugfix release 5.1.2.

== Sqlite DB for 5.1.2

- Andrej would like it to be default since BDB is unstable, but may require draining cluster. Proxy renewal won't work after switching DB. There is no fallback to job.id.proxy if delegations don't exist and no conversion tool. A better less-disruptive idea is to not enable by default but let sites choose when to turn it on. The sqlite option should be documented in arc.conf.reference and recommended in release notes.

== Perforator

- Anders rewrote the client in python and it's 99% done, but the release is more important so we won't wait for it. Anyway it can be distributed manually to sites which want it.

== Build status

- 5.1 nightly builds are successful except Fedora rawhide. Jon will port a swig-related commit which may fix it. We wait to see the result of tonight's build. Release expected on Friday.
