Is it on the g-s project? 15:34 <seb128> how much testing are we speaking about? 15:34 <willcooke> seb128, well, we can do a more general call for testing on G+ for example 15:35 <willcooke> give it a week 15:35 <seb128> if it's more than some days I would suggest again than we do a SRU meanwhile to fix the notification nag issue 15:35 <seb128> + the kde apps start 15:35 <seb128> + selected other SRU worth fixes if any 15:35 <willcooke> attente, how confident are you in the PPA? Do you want to give it more than a few days of testing? 15:36 <seb128> doing an easy SRU is probably like less than an hour work 15:36 <attente> yeah 15:37 <attente> https://launchpad.net/~attente/+archive/ubuntu/gnome-software 15:37 <willcooke> attente, so you wanna do an intermediate SRU for the other fixes first then? 15:37 <attente> for the sru, if we don't care for the rebase onto 3.20.2, we can do an immediate one 15:38 <attente> or i can wrap up the backport and push it to the ppa and we can just test that 15:38 <attente> i think i can finish that today 15:39 <seb128> your call, I would have done an SRU directly after the first one with the other easy fixes, Laney had a preference to go next with the stable branch rebase I think 15:39 <seb128> in any case let's pick one we can do by end of the week 15:39 <seb128> either we are confident with the rebase and let's upload that 15:39 <attente> ok. i'm going to finish the backport then and will upload to the ppa 15:39 <willcooke> well, the PPA could be ready by the EOW but then we're still waiting for n weeks before the other small fixes get in 15:39 <seb128> or we are not and let's get another round of fixes in while we bake the more complex one 15:40 <seb128> yeah, also any regression in the rebase might delay the SRU to migrate to updates 15:40 <willcooke> good point 15:40 <seb128> while it's less likely than a cherry pick small upload migrates easily 15:40 <seb128> more likely* 15:40 <willcooke> so, FWIW - my 2 cents goes on getting an SRU out for the easier fixes sooner rather than later 15:40 <willcooke> but I defer to seb128 and attente to make a call. Let's wrap this up after the meeting? 15:41 <seb128> attente, let's discuss after the meeting 15:41 <seb128> willcooke, +1 15:41 <willcooke> thanks chaps 15:41 <willcooke> #topic denbeiren 15:41 <willcooke> oops 15:41 <willcooke> sorry denbeiren 15:41 <willcooke> #topic desrt 15:41 <andyrock> read for next round btw 15:41 <andyrock> +y 15:41 <desrt> hi. still working on relocation stuff in glib. 15:41 <desrt> usual bugs/reviews/etc. 15:41 <desrt> that's all 15:42 <willcooke> thanks desrt 15:42 <willcooke> #topic andyrock 15:42 <andyrock> # [BUG:1506744] Newly installed applications do not show in the dash - Updated according to desrt's review - Waiting for next review 15:42 <andyrock> # [BUG:1587618] alt-backtick on desktop icon whilst alt-tabbing prevents further alt-tabbing - Already merged 15:42 <andyrock> # [BUG:1103593] Unity always shows all devices in launcher when CD is inserted - Already merged 15:42 <andyrock> WIP: 15:42 <andyrock> # [BUG:1582430] spinning wheel when opening Rhythmbox from Dash/Launcher WHEN it is already playing music - Just need to propose the branch 15:42 <andyrock> # [BUG:1460649] Can't unlock screen with last day password (before expired) 15:42 <desrt> andyrock: link to the bug itself, plz? 15:42 <andyrock> # Some work on a snap for slack 15:42 <andyrock> desrt: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1506744 15:42 <ubot5> Launchpad bug 1506744 in gnome-menus (Ubuntu) "Newly installed applications do not show in the dash" [High,In progress] 15:43 <desrt> i'll take a look 15:43 <andyrock> thx 15:43 <willcooke> thanks andyrock 15:43 <willcooke> #topic dgadomski 15:43 <dgadomski> hey 15:43 <dgadomski> * looking into a potential Samba regression (or a bugfix in relation to 4.1.6) regarding directory masking, the docs are not 100% clear, looking into implementation 15:43 <dgadomski> * verifying bug #1578398 fixes 15:43 <ubot5> bug 1578398 in imagemagick (Ubuntu Yakkety) "ImageMagick Security Issue: CVE-2016-3714" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1578398 15:43 <dgadomski> * haven't received the info about the bugs I mentioned last week so no progress here (bug #1585256 and the printer + libmtp udev conflict) 15:43 <ubot5> bug 1585256 in samba (Ubuntu) "After upgrading to 4.3.9 lost possibility to login to NetApp using Kerberos" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1585256 15:43 <dgadomski> * was off on Thu-Fri 15:44 <dgadomski> * regarding snaps - is there a place containing a list of apps already being snapped? to avoid duplication of effort 15:44 <willcooke> dgadomski, @ snaps - will send you a link 15:44 <dgadomski> ok, thanks 15:44 <dgadomski> then it's eof 15:44 <willcooke> thanks dgadomski 15:45 <willcooke> #topic FJKong 15:45 <FJKong> hi 15:45 <FJKong> * looking into bug/1534492, fixed before but reopen by user 15:45 <FJKong> * Chinese Localization in progress,bug/1555144\ 15:45 <FJKong> * Sogou IM bug review for hot key binding 15:45 <FJKong> eof 15:45 <willcooke> thanks FJKong 15:45 <willcooke> #topic happyaron 15:45 <happyaron> hi 15:45 <happyaron> 1.
