Changes to the unseeded universe can continue to go in, but changes to seeded packages will need to be release critical ( basically blockers and not SRUable) at this point before they'll be accepted. Please discuss on #ubuntu-release if you see any release blockers pop up during testing immediately. Testing of the release candid 15:01:21 ates is in progress, so we'll be trying to minimize the respins. 15:01:23 . 15:01:25 #ubuntu-release if questions, please. 15:01:27 . 15:01:29 Schedule is at: 15:01:31 #link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule 15:01:33 Key Upcoming Dates: 15:01:35 � 2012/04/24 - Unseeded Universe Final Freeze at 1200 UTC 15:01:37 � 2012/04/26 - Release!!! 15:01:41 . 15:01:42 * stgraber waves 15:01:43 Bugs committed to be fixed by the engineering teams can be found: 15:01:45 #link http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/kernel-bugs/reports/rls-p-tracking-bugs.html 15:01:47 Bugs that you would like the engineering teams to consider for fixing, should be assigned to specific teams, so they can be found. 15:01:50 . 15:01:59 We're also now using: http://pad.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-release 15:02:03 to track the release. 15:02:40 Lots of late incoming status changes now that we're working with Final Freeze, and I haven't managed to get the paste ups ready. 15:02:44 from the mail list. 15:03:30 will try to get it added before end of meeting. 15:03:56 .. 15:04:22 [TOPIC] questions/comments from the weekly status, and about the state of the release in general? 15:05:07 Please remember to .. when you're done, and o/ if you want us to pause and ask questions. :) 15:05:25 o/ 15:05:27 o/ 15:05:32 General question for all the teams: Are there any release critical bugs that have not been brought to attention of release team? 15:05:47 bug 985862 just came in 15:05:50 Launchpad bug 985862 in ubufox (Ubuntu Precise) "Update the start page URL" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/985862 15:05:51 fix being prepared 15:05:58 Please think on that and prepare answers... 15:06:15 (just adding to pad) 15:06:50 thanks pitti, was that the "o/" or the answer to my question? 15:06:55 .. 15:06:59 skaet: your question, o/ still pending 15:07:05 :) 15:07:20 pitti, go, while folk are checking and composing then. Thanks! 15:07:29 .. 15:07:36 so, we still have a considerably sized http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.svg 15:07:39 maas is still in the queue and I've vaguely gathered that (a) it helps with some of the outstanding component-mismatches and (b) it just needs somebody to sit down and review it all; is now still a good time for that? I think we've dropped the ball on that one slightly as the release team 15:08:00 oh, sorry, misinterpreted pitti. but I think we're asking about kind of the same thing anyway. 15:08:00 I wanted to ask the server folks if horizon is going to stay seeded, and if so, if at least the python-coverage build dep cuodl be dropped? 15:08:04 it seems non-essential 15:08:15 arosales, Daviey ^ 15:08:23 cjwatson: maas is something different AFAICS 15:08:28 but also needs sorting out indeed 15:08:32 I can volunteer to do the review if it's still OK 15:08:34 Daviey just returned and he said he'd look at it 15:08:50 it's quite intrusive, and I didn't feel confident enough to yay/nay it 15:09:17 pitti: I believe horizon will need to stay seeded. I'll have to check on the python-coverage dep with zul and adamg 15:09:23 I'd certainly rather somebody who knows the code well take care of it, just as long as *somebody* does 15:09:27 .. 15:09:38 +1 15:10:39 pitti, arosales, Daviey able to get to it for today's respin? or are we looking and possibly having to require an additional one for server later? 15:10:55 .. 15:10:58 a good part of the server team is at ODS conference so we have a bit delayed in some of the work. 15:11:43 arosales, is there anyone else around, who isn't Daviey or the author) that could knowlegably review it now? 15:11:52 .. 15:12:03 skaet: for MAAS? 15:12:05 o/ 15:12:13 (I've just skimmed it and don't see any problems that are obvious to me.) 15:12:28 Daviey.... :) delighted to see you. 15:12:32 * Daviey will take MAAS and follow up with horizon stuff today. 15:12:37 just.. not right now. 15:12:41 * skaet hugs Daviey 15:12:51 skaet: I'm not delighted to see a computer :) 15:13:02 Daviey, ok, we'll hold off on the respins today until we hear from you on this. 15:13:39 thanks for that initial look cjwatson too. :) 15:13:43 .. 15:13:45 * arosales thanks the release team for all the help with the late server landings 15:13:46 .. 15:14:01 cjwatson, you're question again? 15:14:06 handled 15:14:20 coolio. 15:14:42 Daviey, any question indicated by your 'o/'? 15:15:14 hmm.. 15:15:21 . o O { suggestion: \o for hello, o/ for questions :) } 15:15:22 no, just showing presence.. sorry 15:15:30 :) 15:15:42 * skaet likes pitti's suggestion. Next release ;) 15:16:18 ok, going back to round tabling from each of the teams on release critical non SRUable fixes...? 15:16:30 arosales - is there anything on your team's radar? 15:16:34 pitti: you're mixing three different styles of ascii art there, confuses my little brain! 15:16:47 lol 15:17:06 .. 15:17:13 skaet: no release critical bugs that I am aware of. 15:17:19 thanks arosales. 15:17:24 cjwatson: ? 15:17:33 skaet: none here for the kernel that I'm aware of. issues I'm currently tracking should be getting handled in our day-0 15:17:44 .. 15:17:48 thanks ogasawara. :) 15:17:56 everything I know of has come up in #ubuntu-release, although as I said in my status update we do need to clear outdated binaries. 15:18:06 I'm trawling through the relevant build failures at the moment ... 15:18:10 .. 15:18:16 thanks cjwatson. :) 15:18:38 jibel: anything showing up from the recent testing that might be suspect? 15:18:47 .. 15:19:32 roadmr or brendand: from your team? 15:19:38 .. 15:19:56 skaet: a bug that was subsequently fixed, so we're ok now :) 15:20:12 roadmr, thanks. :) 15:20:35 skaet: it was bug 984387 15:20:37 Launchpad bug 984387 in Linux "[Dell Studio XPS 1340,Alienware m17x] Kernel panic with 3.0.0-19 and 3.2.0-18 on boot" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/984387 15:21:24 :) thanks for that. ..? 15:21:25 .. 15:21:28 :) 15:22:06 mdeslaur, anything known as potential to from security update between now and next Wednesday? 15:22:10 .. 15:22:32 skaet: I'm here for mdeslaur 15:22:37 * skaet just wants to know if something is under investigation, or if the slate is pretty clear. 15:22:40 mdeslaur: don't you come in here :P 15:22:47 thanks jdstrand. 15:22:49 (he is on holiday) 15:22:52 :) 15:22:59 skaet: nothing is planned 15:23:04 thanks jdstrand. 15:23:41 dbarth_, anything from your team? 15:23:42 .. 15:23:47 * jibel back 15:24:05 go ahead jibel while we wait for dbarth_ ... 15:24:23 anything showing up on radar that might end up as a blocker from recent tests? 15:24:24 .. 15:24:30 so I sent the list of defects found this week with testing 15:24:37 https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2012-April/001151.html 15:25:01 skaet: hi, not much apart from the last 2 fixes that didrocks added to ubuntu5 15:25:20 and found a bug with cdromupgrade from lucid 15:25:23 bug 986233 15:25:24 Launchpad bug 986233 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "lucid -> precise cdromupgrade failed without network connection" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/986233 15:25:26 that might be a blocker 15:25:39 .. 15:26:03 thanks jibel. Yes, it needs looking at. 15:26:12 .. 15:26:26 thanks dbarth, ..? 15:26:28 skaet: the rest we're targeting for an upcoming 5.12.0; the bamf issue with duplicated icons (#928912 ) 15:26:30 .. 15:26:38 o/ 15:26:41 heh, guess not. Thanks! 15:26:51 ogra_ go. 15:27:21 we found an issue with the GLES patch that i fixed today ... sadly there is an unuploaded fix in the tree so i couldnt just upload compiz right away 15:27:58 the gles fix sits in the compiz packaging tree now but i want to wait for didrocks (who is on vacation) to nod off the former fix 8else i had uploaded right now) 15:28:14 apparenly he is back on monday though... 15:28:24 the fix is tested and makes everything work fine now 15:28:25 .. 15:28:39 ogra_ yeah, but given the arm build times, etc. monday is getting pretty late. 15:28:58 pitti, who is didrock's backup on this sort of thing? 15:29:07 there is no formal backup 15:29:17 I'd suggest to just uplaod the patch, and adjust bzr accordingly 15:29:24 i. e. push the unpublished change to the next version 15:29:28 pitti, not possible 15:29:42 oh? 15:29:50 well, I don't know anything else :) 15:30:00 the arch specific patch needs to sit on top of all other quilt patches sadly 15:30:04 or do you depend on the previous patch? 15:30:14 i have to redo everything for the next quilt patch again 15:30:34 that sounds like a hell of a patch 15:30:38 branch from the last uploaded revision 15:30:40 right, since i cant be sure the GLES patch doesnt accidentially touch the same files other quilt patches touch 15:30:57 then let whoever wants to upload the unuploaded bits worry about merging 15:31:04 * skaet nods 15:31:05 (if necessary) 15:31:11 cjwatson, that still means i need to completely regenerate everything right after the next quilt patch is added 15:31:54 it would only help until the next upload ... 15:31:55 you can still prepare *this* upload, which is the time-sensitive one, as I understand it 15:31:58 at this point this shoudl be offloaded to #u-devel or desktop, but why? 15:32:21 cjwatson, yes, but for the first (likely 0 day) SRU i have to start over 15:32:47 so it doesnt help much for the release if dider uploads to proposed next week and i have to do it again 15:32:50 .. 15:33:16 patch dependencies and bzr handling seem very independent to me 15:33:19 "start over" sounds like it must be hyperbole 15:33:33 I'm prepared to believe you have to fiddle about to some extent with quilt 15:33:47 but it surely isn't a matter of completely starting from scratch 15:33:50 or shouldn't be 15:34:46 well, we have two trees, the gles patch has to be a diff between these two trees ... if one quilt patch is added to the packjaging tree, linaro has to first update their stuff, then i need to redo the diff between the trees and roll that into a new quilt patch ... 15:35:28 (thats not the time consuming part, due to the fragile nature of it we have to do testbuilds, tests etc, all in all thats half a workday of one linaro person and me) 15:35:32 .. 15:35:32 * pitti still fails to see the connection to the unuploaded patch staged in bzr 15:35:46 * skaet thinks we need to take this discussion to #ubuntu-release and move on here. 15:36:15 pitti, it touched the same files the gles patch touches, next upload with the unuploaded quilt patch makes arm builds ftbfs 15:36:25 .. 15:36:42 so push and refresh 15:36:48 (but yes, #u-r) 15:37:24 Riddell, any release critical issues lurking in the Kubuntu bugs? 15:37:41 I have a good feeling there are none 15:37:53 :) 15:38:07 there was the KDM issue slangasek was tlaking about yeseterday 15:38:20 which was an issue with libc I think 15:38:26 I think he fixed it but haven't verified yet 15:38:29 mea culpa 15:39:23 I'm away until Monday evening 15:39:41 is ScottK your backup? 15:39:58 for questions? 15:40:07 he is a reliable chap for any breakages yes 15:40:50 Riddell, who should we be notifying to restart the kubuntu testing, when we respin? 15:41:14 ScottK is good to notify, he can pull the trigger on the kubuntu communnity 15:41:26 or a !testing ping in #kubuntu-devel 15:41:27 Thanks. :) Will do. 15:41:45 * skaet will do both then... 15:41:49 :) 15:42:06 s/do/try?/ 15:42:16 until response 15:42:18 .. 15:42:51 stgraber or highvoltage - any release critical issues lurking in the Edubuntu bugs? 15:43:16 nope, the worst bug we had so far was wallpapers not showing up in the gnome background dialog :) 15:43:20 and that's fixed 15:43:27 yay 15:43:27 :) 15:43:45 ..? 15:43:48 so it looks pretty good so far, we have a few smaller bugs reported that I'll make sure we get fixed for 12.10 and possibly for 12.04.1 15:43:48 .. 15:43:51 .. 15:44:06 sounds good. Thanks stgraber and highvoltage. :) 15:44:46 astraljava, knome - any release critical issues lurking in the Xubuntu bugs? 15:44:56 skaet: Nothing from Xubuntu as we spe*... type. 15:45:16 Just got a hint of a weird networking issue, but can't specify yet how critical it turns out to be. 15:45:23 I will do some further testing over the weekend. 15:45:34 .. 15:45:52 thanks astraljava. Ok, will circle back with you on monday. 15:46:01 Sounds good. 15:46:03 .. 15:46:24 scott-work, any release critical issues lurking in the Ubuntu Studio bugs? 15:46:42 no, it is looking good at this time :) 15:47:04 .. 15:47:22 :) Thanks scott-work! 15:47:39 gilir, any release critical issues lurking in the Lubuntu bugs? 15:47:53 no blocker so far, still testing and double checking install failure the team reported 15:48:05 maybe one fix for our keyboard layout application, still need testing 15:48:11 .. 15:48:37 Thanks gilir, ok, please post in #ubuntu-release as soon as you know more on those. 15:48:41 .. 15:48:59 anyone I miss? 15:49:15 MOTU, but I don't have any issues I know of 15:49:20 laney is probably more on top of things... 15:49:21 .. 15:50:09 gilir, scott-work, astraljava, highvoltage, stgraber, Riddell, ScottK - any issues with the new ReleaseNotes/* format? can all the feature and config/install information be ready in it by monday? 15:50:39 Thanks tumbleweed. :) 15:51:30 .. 15:52:51 I think Edubuntu is mostly good after highvoltage's edits from yesterday. I'll have another look this weekend. 15:52:54 .. 15:53:07 Thanks stgraber. :) 15:53:08 .. 15:53:40 * gilir likes the new format, and it should be ok on monday for us 15:53:46 .. 15:53:49 I have a more general question re the releasenotes format? Are we rolling in any notes from 10.10 -> 11.10? (e.g. the toolchain changes that someone asked about on the list this week). If we are, there doesn't seem to be anywhere in the new structure for toolchain changes 15:54:01 .. 15:55:08 skaet: I believe Xubuntu will have it ready by Monday, yes. 15:55:10 .. 15:55:29 tumbleweed, there's the common infrastructure part to hold that sort of thing. 15:55:36 slangasek, ^^ 15:56:05 (its where the upstart and kernel changes are located). 15:56:12 thanks astraljava :) 15:56:19 oh, I didn't see that was shared between all the sub-pages 15:56:27 skaet: not yet, i'm still digging through it though ;) 15:57:08 fair nuf scott-work. ping me if you have questions please. :) 15:57:10 tumbleweed: ;) I had removed the references to toolchain versions because I didn't believe it relevant for end-user-facing release notes; but I seem to be outnumbered 15:57:17 :) 15:57:39 the people who complain probably won't have read the notes... 15:59:21 if its in the notes, we have a place to point to at least when the questions come up. 15:59:24 .. 15:59:43 anyhow, we're out of time now. 15:59:54 please bring up any remaining questions in #ubuntu-release. 16:00:05 Thank you to all of you and your teams for the excellent work that's been done so far on this release! 16:00:06 I'm very much looking forward to the release getting announced next week, and am thinking its going to be a great foundation for our new LTS. Well done! 16:00:35 Thank you for your participation in these weekly release meetings for Precise, roadmr, jibel, jdstrand, ogasawara, cjwatson, arosales, fabo, pitti, dbarth_,ogra_,Riddell, stgraber, highvoltage, astraljava, scott-work, gilir, tumbleweed, Laney.
