Maybe we should just do what they want. 15:19 Because we still couldn't really give him upload rights for the budgie packageset as this doesn't exist 15:20 Let's continue with the meeting and discuss later during AOB 15:20 (if needed) 15:20 #subtopic Dan Streetman 15:20 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ddstreet/UbuntuSRUDeveloperApplication 15:20 http://ubuntu-dev.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/ubuntu-sponsorships.cgi?render=html&sponsoree=Dan+Streetman 15:20 ddstreet: o/ 15:20 ddstreet: re-introduce yourself please 15:20 hi all, i'm reapplying for sru developer 15:20 last application: https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2017/09/11/%23ubuntu-meeting.txt 15:21 sponsored pkgs: http://ubuntu-dev.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/ubuntu-sponsorships.cgi?render=html&sponsor=&sponsor_search=name&sponsoree=Dan+Streetman&sponsoree_search=name 15:21 and this bug that i've created the debdiffs for is waiting https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/mdadm/+bug/1617919 15:21 Launchpad bug 1617919 in mdadm (Ubuntu Xenial) "mdadm segfault error 4 in libc-2.23.so" [High,Triaged] 15:22 Questions please 15:23 ddstreet: one question from before: is the Ubuntu kernel git repo public? 15:24 jbicha yes the ubuntu kernel git repos are public 15:24 can you paste a link? 15:24 from my git 15:24 ubuntu/trusty git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-trusty.git (fetch) 15:24 ubuntu/trusty git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-trusty.git (push) 15:24 ubuntu/xenial git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-xenial.git (fetch) 15:24 ubuntu/xenial git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-xenial.git (push) 15:24 ubuntu/zesty git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-zesty.git (fetch) 15:24 ubuntu/zesty git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-zesty.git (push) 15:25 jbicha or if you mean the special kernel repos, they are in a different location, e.g. 15:25 ubuntu/aws git+ssh://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-aws (fetch) 15:26 I was looking for http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-artful.git/log/?qt=author&q=streetman 15:26 :) 15:26 sorry, i assumed you mean git url 15:26 no problem, I found it 15:27 ddstreet: a question from me: after you prepared an SRU, prepared the bug and uploaded the change to the archive (and this upload got accepted to -proposed), what work do you need to do next on that SRU? 15:27 verify the proposed package and mark the bug as verification-done-RELEASE 15:27 for affected releases 15:27 Anything else? 15:27 add a comment to the bug with the details of the verification 15:28 then after 7 days or more, ping a sru person to move it to -updates 15:28 check the autopkgtest results 15:28 of there are any failures, explain them in the bug - or if the failures are a result of the change, it will need reworking 15:28 Ok, thanks 15:28 which likely would involve re-patching, then re-uploading to -proposed again 15:28 btw. the ping-the-sru-person is not required ;p 15:29 heh well hopefully not ;-) 15:29 You can do that if the SRU is somehow priority but usually we'll just do it when the time comes ;) 15:29 it's not always clear when that time is to outsiders ;-) 15:29 I'm looking at the last 2 SRUs from https://launchpad.net/~ddstreet/+uploaded-packages 15:30 and they got sponsored very quickly, like same day 15:30 yes, last thurs i believe 15:31 jbicha you mean the lshw upload? 15:31 well not initramfs-toolsbut the other 2 recent ones, just commenting 15:31 lshw and vlan 15:31 sorry im not sure what vlan you mean? 15:31 that was sept 20 15:31 for vlan 15:32 the two lshw uploads are the same bug, just one for x and other for t 15:32 o/ 15:32 you uploaded the debdiff for LP: #1716964 and it got sponsored later that day 15:32 jbicha am i misunderstanding you? 15:32 Launchpad bug 1716964 in vlan (Debian) "VLAN network script if-up.d/ip limits rp_filter value to 0 or 1" [Unknown,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1716964 15:32 i think so yes 15:32 sorry, i'm not clear if there is a question for me? 15:32 sometimes, things get stuck in the sponsoring queue for a very long time, so I was just commenting that you have got some much quicker than that 15:33 no question, just a comment 15:33 oh ok thanks 15:33 yes, i can't really let things hang out in the sponsorship queue, so since i don't have upload rights i have to actively find sponsors to pester 15:33 obviously, that's why i am requesting upload rights 15:35 previously you had mentioned being interested in sponsoring SRU uploads for other people. Is that still something you plan on doing? 15:35 yes 15:36 it looks like you've done an average of 1 SRU set per month, sustained over the past year and a half (another comment, not really a question) 15:36 yes, on average, although i think i've picked up the pace significantly in the last month, since my last application was rejected because i hadn't done enough SRUs 15:37 before that, i had done mostly kernel fixes which don't show up in the sponsor list, and aren't relevant for this application 15:38 well, i'm not one to say if kernel fixes are relevant for this application, that is what bdmurray suggested during my first application 15:38 No endorsements from two out of three of your latest sponsors? 15:38 I left a comment 15:38 It's like a soft endorsement ;) 15:38 rbasak i believe i asked you a while back, and i did ask apw but he did not respond 15:38 maybe didn't see my request 15:39 thanks sil2100! 15:39 (no more questions from me for this application) 15:39 Any other questions? 15:39 * rbasak is still reviewing 15:40 re: endorsement i also asked cpaelzer but i don't think he saw my request either 15:40 So far, everything I see suggests a high quality of SRUswork. 15:41 I'm still a little concerned by not having a big enough sample size though. 15:41 What do other DMB members think of this? 15:41 same 15:42 rbasak micahg what would you consider a big enough sample size? 15:43 That's a good question. I think it's variable depending on the quality of work demonstrated and the strength of the endorsements. 15:43 looks like i have ~22 separate SRUs so far, not counting multiple releases per SRU. 15:43 https://launchpad.net/~ddstreet/+uploaded-packages is showing me 23 in total, including development release uploads, and including series SRU duplication. 15:43 What am I missing? 15:44 rbasak i'm going by http://ubuntu-dev.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/ubuntu-sponsorships.cgi?render=html&sponsor=&sponsor_search=name&sponsoree=Dan+Streetman&sponsoree_search=name 15:45 so 23 sounds right 15:45 It's hard to judge what sample size we require here 15:46 what have you required of past applicants? 15:46 But I'm rather confident in ddstreet's knowledge about the SRU process 15:46 I think there's only been one other applicant 15:46 for SRU, yes 15:46 usually a full cycle focused on whatever they're applying for 15:47 the sru developer team was created for him, slashd, because you were not ready to give him coredev 15:47 To narrow it down, if I saw somewhere between 5 and 10 (not sure exactly) recent SRUs that required no significant review changes and had endorsements from >90% of sponsors from that sample, I'd be happy. 15:47 I think applicants tend to upload more frequently than you do but I'm ok with the total upload count 15:47 Should we start the vote? 15:48 Everyone ready? 15:48 We have this tendency to running over our meeting time 15:48 I'm +0 right now. I don't have a list of SRUs in front of me as qualified by my criteria above to review. 15:49 That seems to be mostly an issue of data mining. 15:49 Ok, I see rbasak started the voting so let's just start it formally 15:49 #vote Grant ddstreet SRU Developer 15:49 Please vote on: Grant ddstreet SRU Developer 15:49 Public votes can be registered by saying +1, +0 or -1 in channel, (for private voting, private message me with 'vote +1/-1/+0 #channelname) 15:49 Perhaps, in hindsight, we could ask applicants for this team to provide this as a summary to save us all doing it individually. 15:49 +0 15:49 +0 received from rbasak 15:49 +1 15:49 +1 received from jbicha 15:49 +1, I have no good feeling on what criteria we have but I'm happy with ddstreet's SRUs so far 15:49 +1, I have no good feeling on what criteria we have but I'm happy with ddstreet's SRUs so far received from sil2100 15:50 To be clear, I _am_ happy with the quality of the work that I've seen. 15:51 bdmurray, BenC, micahg: ? 15:51 +0 I have a good technically feeling, and am very close to voting in favor, but still feel like we should have a few more recent SRUs as rbasak mentioned 15:51 +0 I have a good technically feeling, and am very close to voting in favor, but still feel like we should have a few more recent SRUs as rbasak mentioned received from micahg 15:51 +1 I think the working being done is of fine quality, but I'm still concerned about the posibility of things being sponsored. I guess the SRU team is a safety check there though. 15:51 +1 I think the working being done is of fine quality, but I'm still concerned about the posibility of things being sponsored. I guess the SRU team is a safety check there though. received from bdmurray 15:53 bdmurray i don't quite understand what exactly you're concerned about there, but thanks for the +1 15:54 BenC: are you still around to vote? :) 15:55 ddstreet: I think I'm concerned about you having the skills to judge the quality of an SRU. 15:55 i see 15:57 bdmurray feel free to point out any specific examples where I've done something wrong - that will help me improve myself, right 16:06 so, is the voting done? 16:07 sorry, we're trying to figure out if we can end the vote now without BenC 16:07 Yeah, some discussions on the procedures 16:07 * ddstreet refills coffee 16:12 Sorry about this, would be much better if we got this one more vote from BenC ;) 16:12 sil2100: maybe we should move on with the rest of the meeting? 16:13 Please 16:13 rbalint: are you here? 16:20 Ok, let me end the vote 16:20 #endvote 16:20 Voting ended on: Grant ddstreet SRU Developer 16:20 Votes for:3 Votes against:0 Abstentions:2 16:20 Motion carried 16:22 rbasak: did I end to early? 16:23 ddstreet: ok, sorry for the wait, congratulations! 16:23 thanks 16:24 I think we have this settled 16:24 (I think) 16:24 Who wants to take the action? 16:24 I'll just take it 16:25 #action sil2100 to grant ddstreet SRU permissions 16:25 * meetingology sil2100 to grant ddstreet SRU permissions 16:25 #topic AOB 16:25 We probably had something but since we're already 25 minutes over, I'd say... let's discuss next time 16:26 We just need to make sure to push fossfreedom's upload rights forward 16:26 Anyway, if you don't mind, I need to finish the meeting since I need to go AFK 16:26 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
