https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/104/materials/slides-104-netmod-sessa-yang-versioning-design-team-update-00.pdf

slide 10: who feels rfc7950 section 11 is sufficient and does not require
changes?

Martin: Is the question really about NBC

Joe: That is later

Lada: Section 11 doesn't belong in yang definition

Joe: Interesting observation, that was not discussed as part of the solution
discussion.

Lou: Would be more comfortable with question if it didn't include section 11 in
the question

Joe: The question is a bit rough, but wanted to scope the question, e.g.,
exclude yang next discussion

On questions 2: "Are NBC changes required?"

Juergen: question is under specified.

joe: are nbc changes required (allowed) to an existing node in a given yang
module?

Martin: (Andy's solution from the list) They happen, might be better to
describe them as sometime more like a deviation, i.e. a way to express them,
but don't indicate that they are good.

Acee: It would be useful to describe the workflow for clients and servers.

Joe: We are trying to describe this as guidelines in the solutions document.

lou: I think we all agree that we need a better solution about non-backward
compatible changes.

joe: do you object to what the requirements documents?

lou: not but it could be improved to not specify the solution.

statement I don't really care if it's published an RFC I think it's very
important that we have a working group document that establishes consensus on
or defines the consensus of what it is we're trying to solve

martin b: agreed, but want it understand if it will be published or not?

Kent: (Polling)
Should requirements doc be published as an RFC - very few
Sould requirements doc NOT be published as an RFC -  the same
Should we defer this decision - most (~2x more, but still few in the room)

slide 14

joe:  is branching required, and if so how much branching is needed and for
clarity?

Christian Hopps:(For branching) Should narrow down the scope? Focus on vendor
specific modules. don't see any  need for branching in standards models. vednor
models have release trains and other requirements.

joe: just because something is supported doesn't mean one has to use it.

I don't know if it's still valid but this was heard on the design team a few
months ago so maybe there is a need maybe not here in ops area that we've heard
but in routing area that was something that came up on one of our calls

lada: agree that ietf shouldn't need branches

joe: from requirements standpoint yes branching should be supported.

lou: replace required with allowed

rob: l2sm is an example. the just published a new revision to get around lots
of bugs.

andy: multiple release trains only for vendors and other sdos.

joe: sounds like this should be allowed.

tim c: we do have this model in place in the bbf

runs out of time for additonal presentations on the agenda.

scheduling of informal open YANG versioning Design Team meeting 03/28 at ietf.

meeting ends.

Introduction

Chairs (10 minutes)
Session Intro & WG Status

Chairs: the following will be LCed after the meeting
–draft-ietf-netmod-intf-ext-yang-07
–draft-ietf-netmod-sub-intf-vlan-model-05

Robert Sparks: IETF is managing YANG Catalog

WG documents items:

Balazs Lengyel (10 min)
YANG Instance Data File Format
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-instance-file-format-02

Balazs Presenting.

kent: could I get a sense for the room how many people have read this draft
raise your hand please this version of the draft yes so it's a few oh good

after we see some more review comments we can gauge where we are on last call
so it's really

Martin or Andy (10 min)
YANG Data Structure Extensions
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-data-ext-02

martin presenting

lada - don't see benfit of using restconf yang data model

joe: yang catalog would be of benifit from instance data

erick: would use it for yang push

kent: is it important to maintain the -ext structure?

rob: why does the instance document need to use yang data at all? (lada's
comment)

other approach is to just use an annotation.

joe: this extension allows lists to not need a key element

lou: please add to you list how this impacts tree diagrams?

lou: how many have read this version ( a few)
how many have read any version? (one more)
for both documents we'll have to talk among chair about last call before
montreal, may use a as forcing function for review.

Kent Watsen (10 min)
Handling Long Lines in Inclusions in Internet-Drafts and RFCs
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netmod-artwork-folding-01

christian - is the martins suggestion work for all cases?

kent - seems like it has a dangerous chance of collision.

martin: cases where the pretty thing doesn't work

kent: for automated folding you would need a smart folder

martin prefers one

christian: should have one way even if it's a little bit harder

rob: don't think a single backslash can cover all cases.

kent:  poll on approaches - double backslash only  (no suppport)
both methods (some support)
only single (also some support)

kent question footer
a (leave draft as is)
b add a footer

lou: clear majority for a over b

Non-Chartered items:

Kent Watsen (15 min)
YANG Next Analysis
<no associated draft>

kent: 70 issues over 3 years created in yang next issue tracker.

Kent: Where should we focus

Update of Common YANG Data Types
Jürgen Schönwälder

rob: type defs are cheap so define both nanoseconds and minutes (time
resolution)

lada: host type should be restricted narrowly

chris: does the canonical format go down to seconds?

kent: hundreths of seconds

ossibly more types (days weeks hours months)

Lou (polling)
- How many have read draft: a reasonable number
- How many interested in problem addressed in draft: a reasonable number
- Now many think we should not work on this topic: none

lou:  does it make sense to rev this as a bis. lets use the model of keep
reving this

rob: if we delay by and extra year we'll have more to add.

lou: lets see how fast we can do it.
