15:41 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso
15:41 <willcooke> * Continued working on bluetooth issues for Xenial/yakkety, focusing on bug 1574324. The fix for this is in the bag, but before I SRU it, I want to resolve another sisue relating to profile selection, which I am currently working out on xenial. I think it is a race condition, because when one freshly sets up a bluetooth device with hfp and a2dp support, one cannot select a2dp support, but after a pulse restart, it works. I even
15:41 <willcooke> tried with yakkety bluez and pulse in xenial.
15:41 <willcooke> * The fix for the above bug is now in zesty, and I've started working on other package updates for zesty, in particular the accessibility stack, so I can start testing it with Qt/Gtk under Mir in coming weeks.

15:45 <willcooke> #topic AOB
15:45 <willcooke> Anyone got news?
15:45 <jbicha> GNOME 3.22 is in Zesty. Two major packages still at 3.20 are gnome-terminal ( bug 1636666 ) and nautilus ( bug 1635988 )

15:45 <willcooke> Oh, I'm on PTO again on Monday

15:45 <jbicha> nautilus 3.22 still needs a bit more work. Help is appreciated with that
15:45 <jbicha> GTK+ 3.22 (LTS) deprecated a bunch of stuff that will be dropped in GTK+ 4; there may be more deprecations (they added several in the recent 3.22.2 stable release)

15:46 <willcooke> :) thanks jbicha - will look for someone to assist with that ^
15:47 <seb128> thanks jbicha for the work
15:47 * seb128 read those and see bug #1632027

15:47 <seb128> shrug, we disabled that and didn't bring it back before release? :-(
15:47 <seb128> I think we should deal with regressions from previous cycles before doing more version updates
15:49 <jbicha> well I'm trying to be careful to not add more regressions
15:49 <seb128> thanks for that
15:50 <seb128> still I think we are having the wrong mentality there
15:50 <seb128> we focus on new versions before quality and accept regressions
15:50 <seb128> but that's probably not a debate to have in the meeting
15:50 <seb128> willcooke, I think we can wrap up there?
15:50 <willcooke> yeah, lets end the meeting and can carry on withthat
15:51 <willcooke> Oh, I wrote this but it popped up in the middle of jbicha's update...
15:51 <willcooke> I'm on pto on Monday
