 15:38 <willcooke> :)

 15:38 <desrt> (plus a bit of travel planning, probably)

 15:39 <willcooke> thanks dgadomski

 15:39 <willcooke> #topic didrocks

 15:39 <didrocks> Report for a week and half (as took late holidays)

 15:39 <didrocks> Ubuntu Make:

 15:39 <didrocks> - released Ubuntu Make 15.12.1 with previously noted improvments

 15:39 <didrocks> - move Visual Studio Code from web to ide category as it now supports more than just webby stuff (keep backward compatibility)

 15:39 <didrocks> - enable setting up firefox developer edition as the default browser

 15:39 <didrocks> - tutoring and following a new contributor for some Unity3D support enhancements

 15:40 <didrocks> - refactoring tests due to jenkins CI programed death to run in autopktests environment, even the large ones. We can now run all or some tests, even having the same granularity to run only one test or test family in the testbed (using a real ubuntu-desktop install). Collecting and global coverage are also enabled as it was in jenkins, testing ppa, distro or git branch! Thanks pitti for implementing

 15:40 <didrocks> the autopkgtests side with new options! Now having all this being implemented, it just need a little bit more polish and testing.

 15:40 <didrocks> - changed build-dep and test build-deps handling to be less hackish

 15:40 <didrocks> - did multiple fixes caused by various racy code (more visible now that the testbed is slower)

 15:40 <didrocks> - be more resilient against invalid tar archive

 15:40 <didrocks> - some fakeroot and new dpkg hook related fixes in xenial

 15:40 <didrocks> - smallest changes like i18n, making some tests more robust…

 15:40 <didrocks> Misc:

 15:40 <didrocks> - unity online scopes removal: fully done, need testing on a fresh system though (and some server-side changes by the online services team)

 15:40 <didrocks> - plymouth fixes for derivatives and edge cases (only one theme configured…)

 15:40 <didrocks> - grub fix for plymouth (in debian git, waiting for the release, soon, you will have some excellent aubergine back in grub!)

 15:40 <didrocks> - helped on google code in, a lot of times spent on mentoring and tutoring, but 3 new items closed! 3 more on their way.

 15:40 <didrocks> - various AA tasks

 15:40 <didrocks> - Atom.io PR finally reviewed, did small fixes and reproposed. Still waiting on the github guys.

 15:40 <didrocks> - gave some help to the a11y community on compiz packaging for debian/knoppix. I wonder if TheMuso, as it's more his field, can give a hand to them here.

 15:40 <didrocks> .

 15:40 <pitti> didrocks: ubuntu make tests> \o/  congrats for implementing this!

 15:40 <didrocks> thanks again to you pitti for the 2 small additionals options. Were really useful! :)

 15:41 <didrocks> pitti: I'll show you the setup, can be of interest :)

 15:41 <willcooke> thanks didrocks

 15:41 <willcooke> I will re-install my 16.04 test machine from scratch this week to test

 15:41 <didrocks> oh nice, keep me posted!

 15:41 <happyaron> didrocks: have some rest, :)

 15:45 <hikiko> I fixed the problems with the texture states on unity and now the shadows have the color we set through opengl, I am doing small corrections and polishing in the branch before I submit it for review, and I am also fixing some drawing related issues I found here and there while I was implementing the effect eof

 15:55 <seb128> was that comment a status update?

 15:55 <seb128> +1

 15:55 <willcooke> #topic seb128

 15:56 <qengho> * no chromium lately! They vacationed too!

 15:56 <qengho> * handle new Cr sandbox in apparmor rules. In apparmor package, not Cr package.

 15:56 <qengho> * fixing second bug in xdg-utils. 1) desktop files, 2) mime config moved. Merging debian.

 15:56 <qengho> * making sure grub understands ZFS device names, and understands common fs features. Avoid obvious papercut problems in 16.04.

 15:56 <seb128> had good holidays, got previous year context wiped out as a side effect, trying to remember how to do this work thing

 15:56 <seb128> </current status>

 15:56 <seb128> (or said differently, still dealing with backlog from the holidays)

 15:56 <qengho> Oh, wow, I think smuxi is screwy.

 15:57 <willcooke> heh

 15:57 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso

 15:57 <willcooke> * Uploaded ALSA userspace 1.1.0 to xenial. All but alsa-lib are through proposed, alsa-lib is being held up on chromium-browser and kde-runtime test failures on armhf. These don't have anything to do with alsa-lib so far as I can tell, so not my problem. :)

 15:57 <willcooke> * PulseAudio 8.0~rc1 aka 7.99.1 is out, not sure if we will be putting pulseaudio 8 into Xenial. Anyways, testing packages available in ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/pulse-testing for xenial.

 15:57 <willcooke> * liba11y-profile-manager, aka the accessibility profile refactor lives, at least in a small degree. This will be my primary focus in the coming weeks.

 15:57 <willcooke> #topic tkamppeter

 15:58 <tkamppeter> - Phone: Looked into how CI Train process works, working on preparing everything to only need one CI-Train process to get printing onto the phone.

 15:58 <tkamppeter> - cups-browsed command line options for config option supply via command line and alternative config file, needed for the phone.

 15:58 <tkamppeter> - cups-filters: Packaging of 1.5.0 with Braille printing support in separate package.

 15:58 <tkamppeter> - cups-filters: Re-introduce beh (Backend Error Handler) wrapper backend (this time in C and not in Perl) as several users asked for it.

 15:58 <tkamppeter> - cups-filters: --version command line option.

 15:58 <tkamppeter> - cups-filters: Bug fixes on Braille support and foomatic-rip.
