15:38 <willcooke> #topic desrt
15:38 <desrt> - adding support to gvdb for path matches (like /org/gnome/foo/) to efficiently allow marking a range of keys for a particular purpose (such as...)
15:38 <desrt> - in addition to allowing locks, it is now possible to specify "unlocks" -- a range of keys to which the user is allowed to write, excluding all others not in the list
15:39 <desrt> - this is all obviously aimed at using the existing dconf file format as the basis for IPC between the system and containerised apps
15:39 <desrt> - bugs

15:42 <Laney> oh
15:42 <Laney> • A lot of fixes, updates and followup fixes for 3.20
15:42 <Laney> • Unblocked 3.20, which went in - slightly bumpy (firefox is still broken), but not too bad considering
15:42 <Laney> • Help with various transitions which are stuck in proposed, still ongoing

15:43 <Laney> • Some signond debugging, since it started popping up a random authentication window
15:43 <Laney> • Debug ssh agent not being poked into the session properly - it's usually because unity7 is not systemd yet

15:47 <qengho> Only XPMs
15:47 <Laney> pfft, entry level
15:47 <Sweet5hark1> - libreoffice 5.2.0 upstream release
15:47 <Sweet5hark1> - libreoffice 5.2.0 snap release
15:47 <Sweet5hark1> - libreoffice 5.2 testbuild on arm
15:47 <Sweet5hark1> - CVE-2016-1513: tldr: AOO published an advisory about an issue, claiming LibreOiffice isnt affected, while in fact old versions were. they also denied sharing the PoC code, so we had to ask the researchers directly.
15:47 <Sweet5hark1> -- As a bonus they have only published a source patch and still publish vulnerable binaries. we are good since thursday, which was the ad-hoc disclosure date added for LibreOffice after the fact
15:47 <Sweet5hark1> - libreoffice/gtk3 and theming foo. first played with LibreOffice master against gtk 3.19, but then found both the LibreOffice 5.2 branch and the 3.20 stuff to be quite different ...
15:47 <Sweet5hark1> - so did a local build of libreoffice 5.2 against 3.20 on a yakkety VM ... which failed because linking libmerged OOMed
15:47 <Sweet5hark1> - some upstream triage, review and bugfixing
15:47 <Sweet5hark1> EOF
15:47 <willcooke> thanks Sweet5hark1
15:47 <Sweet5hark1> (oh also: AOO apparently was informed 6 months ago)
15:47 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso
15:48 <willcooke> * Attempted to reproduce issues in bug #1574324 with no success, requested some info from those who experience it.
15:48 <willcooke> * In working on the above, I did find that my own bluetooth headset can't be used with the A2DP profile in xenial, but works in yakkety. Think the issue is in bluez, going to spend some time trying to track down the needed patches and see about pushing the fix in an SRU.
15:48 <willcooke> * Merged and uploaded alsa-utils 1.1.2 to yakkety.
15:48 <ubot5> bug 1574324 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "pulseaudio crashes when connecting to bluetooth headphones (due to ubuntu changes?)" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1574324

15:49 <willcooke> #topic aob
15:50 <willcooke> No update from Robert, but he's full time on libsnapd
15:50 <willcooke> I'm going to London again tomorrow
15:50 <willcooke> so FJKong will reschedule our 1:1
15:50 <willcooke> and hikiko, I think we're in sync already
15:50 <seb128> just a note that feature freeze is coming
15:50 <FJKong> willcooke: no p
15:51 <willcooke> Anyone got anything else for the meeting?
15:51 <seb128> and things are going to get a bit crazy
15:51 <hikiko> yes willcooke, thanks!
15:51 <seb128> we might need to MIR a stack of packages for getting u8 session in the iso
15:51 <seb128> would be nice to dispatch some of the workload
15:52 <willcooke> +1
15:52 <seb128> so please keep some cycles in your planning for that
15:53 <seb128> though I don't think there is much we can descope
15:53 <seb128> like we landed transitions&updates in proposed/yakkety
15:53 <seb128> so we need to sort the whole out now
15:53 <seb128> anyway was just a pre-ff warning
15:53 <seb128> thanks ;-)
15:54 <willcooke> thanks seb128
15:54 <willcooke> so lets wrap, thanks all
