15:37 <desrt> dconf proxy: created a new interface on the proxy as the first point of contact for clients, to answer the basic questions of "where do i talk to now?".  this deduplicates a lot of the confinement logic in terms of "what paths should this client be using?"

15:41 <happyaron> seb128: not yet, was ready last week and pinged pitt_i but he might lost the ping

15:41 <happyaron> okay
15:42 <seb128> you might want to try to ping people in case nobody picks it up

15:42 <hikiko> hi
15:42 <hikiko> hi,
15:42 <hikiko> fixed the remaining low gfx parts (reviewed-approved)
15:42 <hikiko> apart from the last compiz/ucc/u7 branches that are
15:42 <hikiko> in progress and I'm trying to finish today before I
15:42 <hikiko> leave for holidays (I think I am getting close to that) EOF
15:43 <willcooke> good stuff, thanks hikiko
15:43 <willcooke> #topic Laney
15:43 <Laney> meow
15:43 <Laney> off from today
15:43 <Laney> forgot to write that in the following awesome bullets
15:43 <Laney> • Got the transition(s) of hell out of the way after running 9999 tests locally, fixing stuff, skipping others and abusing the hint tester
15:43 <Laney> • Broke and fixed the autopkgtest queues /o\
15:43 <Laney> • Fixed broken adwaita-icon-theme release (just pushed upstream too) & uploaded that
15:43 <Laney> • Some random -proposed fixes
15:43 <Laney> • appstream: Killed off old generator, returned 1000G of space to IS as we no longer need a full mirror
15:43 <Laney> • autopkgtest: Initial investigations around running all tests in lxd; sent a patch to dpkg @ debian to expose the restrictions in .dsc files, started looking at autopkgtest-cloud to see where that needs changes (at least userdata and the lxd worker config, will need more depending on how we do the dispatch)
15:43 <Laney> • Cried about pitti going :(
15:43 <Laney> • Did some light sponsoring
15:43 <Laney> 😢
15:44 <willcooke> thanks Laney
15:44 <willcooke> hugs all round
15:44 <willcooke> #topic qengho
15:44 <qengho> Just one thing took all my time.
15:44 <qengho> * Got chromium 55 building without crashes. Not scientifically. Using g++4.8 only.
15:44 <qengho> That will fix the complaints with Y and Z versions and Symantec-issued TLS certificates.
15:44 <qengho> I'll spend December days finding out why Debian's works, other than that they don't care about ARMHF or ARM64.
15:44 <qengho> EOF
15:44 <willcooke> thanks qengho
15:44 <willcooke> #topic seb128
15:45 <seb128> • spent quite some time in launchpad triaging bugs, debugging/upstreaming some
15:45 <seb128> • some archive admin work (NEW reviews)
15:45 <seb128> • snappy gtk/gnome runtime work
15:45 <seb128> ∘ got a working version of the runtime snap, discussed it with Didier and iterated a bit over it
15:45 <seb128> ∘ got a gtk3-demo example using it which is working as well, did some iterations over it as well
15:45 <seb128> ∘ worked on the gtk launcher changes needed for the runtime, first part landed and being iterating on the remaining work with Didier
15:45 <seb128> ∘ spent some time trying to workaround snapcraft trying to be clever and bundling the libraries used by your binaries (which defeats the purpose of the content sharing) without luck
15:45 <seb128> ∘ started a mailing list discussion about previous item but got feedback only from others having the issue, no reply/interest from the snapcraft team
15:45 <seb128> </week>
15:45 <willcooke> thanks seb128
15:45 <willcooke> #topic Sweet5hark
15:45 <Sweet5hark> - some writer refactoring
15:45 <Sweet5hark> - locally reproducing snap build fail
15:45 <Sweet5hark> => curiously, my local snapcraft build break in a different way (earlier) as on launchpad, so worked around that for now -- still thats bad
15:45 <Sweet5hark> => also see a bazillion deprecation warnings from snapcraft. I somehow find it worrisome that there is more babysitting needed for snapcraft changes than for the (huge) LibreOffice upstream over the same time
15:45 <Sweet5hark> - some contract check work, some budgeting, some mentoring on the build system
15:45 <Sweet5hark> EOF
15:46 <willcooke> thanks Sweet5hark
15:47 <willcooke> please raise your concerns with the snapcraft guys, we need them to hear it
15:47 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso
15:47 <willcooke> Please let me have your update via email TheMuso
15:47 <willcooke> #topic tkamppeter
15:47 <tkamppeter> - cups-filters: Released 1.13.0 which allows setting up driverless printers with the CUPS web interface or with system-config-printer and drops urftopdf as rastertopdf also understands Apple Raster now.
15:47 <tkamppeter> - ippusbxd: Tested driverless (IPP Everywhere, AirPrint) printing on USB, via IPP-over-USB. Improvements on stability and robustness of ippusbxd, especiallly when it gets hammered by web browsers when accessing the printer's web admin interface (admin interface works only with Firefox but at least does not lock up or crash ippusbxd when using Chromium).
15:47 <tkamppeter> - Driverless printing: More testing with Aveek Basu. A Lexmark PDF printer does the job perfectly.
15:47 <tkamppeter> - Canonical: Said good-bye to pitti. It's a pity that pitti leaves.
15:47 <tkamppeter> - Bugs.
15:48 <willcooke> thanks tkamppeter
15:48 <willcooke> #topic Trevinho
15:48 <pitti> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t99KH0TR-J4 :)
15:48 <Trevinho> · Short week (8th was NH and Monday out)
15:48 <Trevinho> · Few more fixes to snapcraft parser to support multiple origin parameters
15:48 <Trevinho> · Unity8 pointer mode indicators work
15:48 <Trevinho> · Not really desktop related, but still... Added Time based OTP mode support to canonical identity provider (login.ubuntu.com)
15:48 <tkamppeter> Currently, I make ippusbxd broadcasting via Bonjour, so that cups-browsed does the auto-setup of the queus.
15:48 <Trevinho> EOF
15:48 <willcooke> thanks Trevinho
15:49 <willcooke> sorry tkamppeter, I cut you off too soon

15:50 <tkamppeter> Currently, I make ippusbxd broadcasting via Bonjour, so that cups-browsed does the auto-setup of the queus.
