MIR is LP: #1734885 14:35 <ubot5> Launchpad bug 1734885 in fonts-noto-color-emoji (Ubuntu) "[MIR] fonts-noto-color-emoji" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1734885 14:35 <jbicha> • fonts-roboto-slab is in Debian & Ubuntu (a default font for Pop!_OS) 14:35 <jbicha> • Debian has gnome-software-plugin-snap again (snapd-glib is now in Debian) 14:35 <jbicha> • Merged gnome-software 3.26.3 with Debian for bionic 14:35 <jbicha> • Uploaded goocanvasmm-2.0 to Debian (build-dependency for glom) 14:35 <jbicha> • Waiting on a license issue to be resolved before uploading glom to Debian 14:35 <jbicha> • New version of babl uploaded but https://bugzilla.gnome.org/790745 14:35 <ubot5> Gnome bug 790745 in babl "babl 0.1.38: float-to-8bit test fails on s390x" [Normal,New] 14:35 <jbicha> • I need help with LP: #1734586 I think we should consider dropping the patch if no one is going to rebase it. 14:35 <ubot5> Launchpad bug 1734586 in network-manager (Ubuntu) "Merge NetworkManager with Debian 1.10.0-1" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1734586 14:35 <jbicha> eof 14:35 <kenvandine> jbicha, thx 14:36 <kenvandine> #topic jamesh 14:36 <kenvandine> * snapd: update user-mounts branch to use snap-update-ns and add a 14:36 <kenvandine> spread test. This seems close to being accepted, and is the base 14:36 <kenvandine> infrastructure needed to enable the xdg-desktop-portal's document 14:36 <kenvandine> portal for snaps. Once this is merged, I want to get portal access 14:36 <kenvandine> working by default with the "desktop" snap interface. 14:36 <kenvandine> * snaps: 14:36 <kenvandine> - Investigated where time was being spent on the first run of snapped 14:36 <kenvandine> desktop apps. I experimented with some moving generation of some 14:36 <kenvandine> caches from first run to snap generation, which makes a massive 14:36 <kenvandine> difference. I've got a patch for snapcraft-desktop-helpers that solve 14:36 <kenvandine> the issue for apps using the GNOME platform snap. At present, it 14:36 <kenvandine> isn't clear how to handle this without snapcraft.yaml changes for the 14:36 <kenvandine> other desktop-* cloud parts. 14:36 <kenvandine> - oSoMoN pointed me at a report that a user's personal fonts (i.e. 14:36 <kenvandine> those in ~/.fonts or ~/.local/share/fonts) were not visible in the 14:36 <kenvandine> snapped LibreOffice. This seems to be a case of fontconfig not 14:36 <kenvandine> finding them rather than being denied access. I put together another 14:36 <kenvandine> snapcraft-desktop-helpers PR that should solve this. 14:36 <kenvandine> #topic jibel 14:36 <jibel> - Debugged upgrade failure from Xenial to Bionic (bug 1723115) 14:36 <jibel> - Continued SRU verification of gnome-software on artful 14:36 <jibel> - Built bionic image for MaaS and enable testing on hardware of the dev release (pre-requisite for bootspeed tests and app startup tests) 14:36 <jibel> - Started work on app startup time for snap packages 14:36 <jibel> - Update tests setup to ensure they load the proxy environment variables in systemd 14:36 <jibel> - Create a snap with testability plug to make sure introspection is possible and submit a test. 14:36 <jibel> .. 14:37 <ubot5> bug 1723115 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) "do-release-upgrade -cd on xenial fails with "Parse failed on meta-release-lts-development"" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1723115 14:38 <kenvandine> jibel, thx 14:38 <kenvandine> #topic kenvandine 14:38 <kenvandine> * I've been mostly out since last weeks meeting.
