 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 <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.  I was busy eating too much :)

 14:38 <kenvandine> * Reviewed and merged gnome-3-1604 platform snap fixes from jamesh, this is the basis for some work to speed up app launching

 14:38 <kenvandine> * Reviewing/testing snapcraft-desktop-helpers PRs from jamesh, improving font handling and speedup work

 14:38 <kenvandine> #topic oSoMoN

 14:38 <oSoMoN> hey

 14:38 <oSoMoN> • chromium

 14:38 <oSoMoN> ∘ uploaded chromium-browser 62.0.3202.94 to bionic and Chris published to all supported series

 14:39 <oSoMoN> ∘ updated chromium beta to 63.0.3239.59 and updated snap in beta channel

 14:39 <oSoMoN> ∘ updated chromium dev to 64.0.3269.3 and updated snap in edge channel

 14:39 <oSoMoN> ∘ following conversation with DMB, started using a more standard versioning scheme for chromium packages (was using bzr revno until now, this was inherited from the existing packages, I'm not really sure why)

 14:39 <oSoMoN> ∘ gave a quick shot at jumbo builds (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/jumbo.md), the result is faster builds indeed, but also a much larger binary (×3) as a result − need to look at that again some time

 14:39 <oSoMoN> • libreoffice

 14:39 <oSoMoN> ∘ investigating a crash report that's blocking the 5.4.2 SRU to artful (unlikely to be a regression, but gotta get to the bottom of it)

 14:39 <oSoMoN> ∘ updated libreoffice snap to 5.4.3, now in candidate channel and issued a call for testing

 14:39 <oSoMoN> ∘ 5.4.3 in bionic-proposed, currently looking into an i386 autopkgtest failure that prevents the migration

 14:39 <oSoMoN> • misc

 14:39 <oSoMoN> ∘ got my tickets for FOSDEM

 14:39 <oSoMoN> CRLF

 14:39 <kenvandine> oSoMoN, thx

 14:39 <kenvandine> #topic seb128

 14:39 <seb128> • had one day off

 14:39 <seb128> • dealt with some HR backlog

 14:39 <seb128> • bugs reviews/triaging

 14:39 <seb128> • catching up on upstream/community discussions

 14:39 <seb128> • some planning work

 14:39 <seb128> </week>

 14:39 <kenvandine> seb128, thx

 14:40 <kenvandine> #topic tkamppeter

 14:40 <tkamppeter> - OpenPrinting web site: Tested GitHub Pages functionality for a possible move of the main page.

 14:40 <tkamppeter> - cpdb-libs (Common Print Dialog Backends Libraries): As Nilanjana does not have much time, looked into how to improve the library layout for Debian packaging.

 14:40 <tkamppeter> - Bugs.

 14:41 <kenvandine> tkamppeter, thx

 14:41 <kenvandine> #topic Trevinho

 14:41 <kenvandine> · Need to take 2.5 of sickness leave because Panama hit me with some fever

 14:41 <kenvandine> · Proposed a gjs fix to avoid crashes when calling methods on deleted

 14:41 <kenvandine> objects
