 15:41 <happyaron> seb128: not yet, was ready last week and pinged pitt_i but he might lost the ping

 15:42 <hikiko> hi

 15:42 <hikiko> hi,

 15:42 <hikiko> fixed the remaining low gfx parts (reviewed-approved)

 15:42 <hikiko> apart from the last compiz/ucc/u7 branches that are

 15:42 <hikiko> in progress and I'm trying to finish today before I

 15:42 <hikiko> leave for holidays (I think I am getting close to that) EOF

 15:43 <willcooke> good stuff, thanks hikiko

 15:43 <willcooke> #topic Laney

 15:43 <Laney> meow

 15:43 <Laney> off from today

 15:43 <Laney> forgot to write that in the following awesome bullets

 15:43 <Laney> • Got the transition(s) of hell out of the way after running 9999 tests locally, fixing stuff, skipping others and abusing the hint tester

 15:43 <Laney> • Broke and fixed the autopkgtest queues /o\

 15:43 <Laney> • Fixed broken adwaita-icon-theme release (just pushed upstream too) & uploaded that

 15:43 <Laney> • Some random -proposed fixes

 15:43 <Laney> • appstream: Killed off old generator, returned 1000G of space to IS as we no longer need a full mirror

 15:43 <Laney> • autopkgtest: Initial investigations around running all tests in lxd; sent a patch to dpkg @ debian to expose the restrictions in .dsc files, started looking at autopkgtest-cloud to see where that needs changes (at least userdata and the lxd worker config, will need more depending on how we do the dispatch)

 15:43 <Laney> • Cried about pitti going :(

 15:43 <Laney> • Did some light sponsoring

 15:43 <Laney> 😢

 15:44 <willcooke> thanks Laney

 15:44 <willcooke> hugs all round

 15:44 <willcooke> #topic qengho

 15:44 <qengho> Just one thing took all my time.

 15:44 <qengho> * Got chromium 55 building without crashes. Not scientifically. Using g++4.8 only.

 15:44 <qengho> That will fix the complaints with Y and Z versions and Symantec-issued TLS certificates.

 15:44 <qengho> I'll spend December days finding out why Debian's works, other than that they don't care about ARMHF or ARM64.

 15:44 <qengho> EOF

 15:44 <willcooke> thanks qengho

 15:44 <willcooke> #topic seb128

 15:45 <seb128> • spent quite some time in launchpad triaging bugs, debugging/upstreaming some

 15:45 <seb128> • some archive admin work (NEW reviews)

 15:45 <seb128> • snappy gtk/gnome runtime work

 15:45 <seb128> ∘ got a working version of the runtime snap, discussed it with Didier and iterated a bit over it

 15:45 <seb128> ∘ got a gtk3-demo example using it which is working as well, did some iterations over it as well

 15:45 <seb128> ∘ worked on the gtk launcher changes needed for the runtime, first part landed and being iterating on the remaining work with Didier

 15:45 <seb128> ∘ spent some time trying to workaround snapcraft trying to be clever and bundling the libraries used by your binaries (which defeats the purpose of the content sharing) without luck

 15:45 <seb128> ∘ started a mailing list discussion about previous item but got feedback only from others having the issue, no reply/interest from the snapcraft team

 15:45 <seb128> </week>

 15:45 <willcooke> thanks seb128

 15:45 <willcooke> #topic Sweet5hark

 15:45 <Sweet5hark> - some writer refactoring

 15:45 <Sweet5hark> - locally reproducing snap build fail

 15:45 <Sweet5hark> => curiously, my local snapcraft build break in a different way (earlier) as on launchpad, so worked around that for now -- still thats bad

 15:45 <Sweet5hark> => also see a bazillion deprecation warnings from snapcraft. I somehow find it worrisome that there is more babysitting needed for snapcraft changes than for the (huge) LibreOffice upstream over the same time

 15:45 <Sweet5hark> - some contract check work, some budgeting, some mentoring on the build system

 15:45 <Sweet5hark> EOF

 15:46 <willcooke> thanks Sweet5hark

 15:47 <willcooke> please raise your concerns with the snapcraft guys, we need them to hear it

 15:47 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso

 15:47 <willcooke> Please let me have your update via email TheMuso

 15:47 <willcooke> #topic tkamppeter

 15:47 <tkamppeter> - cups-filters: Released 1.13.0 which allows setting up driverless printers with the CUPS web interface or with system-config-printer and drops urftopdf as rastertopdf also understands Apple Raster now.

 15:47 <tkamppeter> - ippusbxd: Tested driverless (IPP Everywhere, AirPrint) printing on USB, via IPP-over-USB. Improvements on stability and robustness of ippusbxd, especiallly when it gets hammered by web browsers when accessing the printer's web admin interface (admin interface works only with Firefox but at least does not lock up or crash ippusbxd when using Chromium).

 15:47 <tkamppeter> - Driverless printing: More testing with Aveek Basu. A Lexmark PDF printer does the job perfectly.

 15:47 <tkamppeter> - Canonical: Said good-bye to pitti. It's a pity that pitti leaves.

 15:47 <tkamppeter> - Bugs.

 15:48 <willcooke> thanks tkamppeter

 15:48 <willcooke> #topic Trevinho

 15:48 <pitti> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t99KH0TR-J4 :)

 15:48 <Trevinho> · Short week (8th was NH and Monday out)

 15:48 <Trevinho> · Few more fixes to snapcraft parser to support multiple origin parameters

 15:48 <Trevinho> · Unity8 pointer mode indicators work

 15:48 <Trevinho> · Not really desktop related, but still... Added Time based OTP mode support to canonical identity provider (login.ubuntu.com)

 15:48 <tkamppeter> Currently, I make ippusbxd broadcasting via Bonjour, so that cups-browsed does the auto-setup of the queus.

 15:48 <Trevinho> EOF

 15:48 <willcooke> thanks Trevinho

 15:49 <willcooke> sorry tkamppeter, I cut you off too soon

 15:49 <willcooke> #topic tkamppeter

 15:50 <tkamppeter> Currently, I make ippusbxd broadcasting via Bonjour, so that cups-browsed does the auto-setup of the queus.

 15:51 <willcooke> thx tkamppeter

 15:51 <willcooke> #topic robert_ancell

 15:51 <willcooke> - LightDM 1.21.2, 1.21.3 released

 15:51 <willcooke> - lightdm snap work

 15:51 <willcooke> - simple-scan 3.23.3 released

 15:51 <willcooke> #topic So Long pitti

 15:51 <willcooke> :(

 15:51 * pitti takes a bow, it's been an incredible ride; I'll miss working with you guys!

 15:51 <willcooke> Thanks for everything you've done for the desktop pitti

 15:51 <willcooke> We made you this cake

 15:51 <willcooke> <cake emoji>

 15:52 <pitti> yummy, with ice cream on top!

 15:52 * seb128 hugs pitti

 15:52 * Sweet5hark grumbles as usual, but joins the hub.
