15:39 <willcooke> #topic flexiondotorg
15:39 <flexiondotorg> Afternoon all!
15:40 <flexiondotorg> · Sent snapcraft.yaml fixes/improvements to several upstreams to try and get them over the publishing finish line.
15:40 <flexiondotorg> · ISO testing for Ubuntu MATE 17.04 alpha 2 on Thursday afternoon.
15:40 <flexiondotorg> · ISO testing for Ubuntu 17.04 daily on Friday morning.
15:40 <flexiondotorg> · ISO testing for Ubuntu 16.04 daily on Friday afternoon. Mostly to verify the System 76 HiDPI updates on XPS 15.
15:40 <flexiondotorg> Did that land yet? ^
15:40 <flexiondotorg> · Updated the Spotify client snap.
15:40 <flexiondotorg> · It is now plays music (kind of important) and stream to remote devices, such as the Amazon Echo.
15:40 <flexiondotorg> · It is now fully confined and published in the store 'edge' channel.
15:40 <flexiondotorg> · I've contacted Spotify to try and get it in their CI and have them publish it.
15:40 <seb128> flexiondotorg, seems it didn't move to -updates yet no
15:40 <flexiondotorg> · Had a conference call with Eben Upton from the Raspberry Foundation.
15:40 <seb128> not sure what sort of proding the SRU team needs
15:41 <flexiondotorg> · Working with them to land snapd support in Raspbian when they migrated the a Debian stretch base.
15:41 <flexiondotorg> · Currently working on a rebuild of snapd and snap-confine to "work" on the Raspberry Pi Foundation kernel, which doesn't carry AppArmor patches.
15:41 <flexiondotorg> · Eben mentioned some Chromium patches they've been working on to improve armv6 and arm7 support including reducing the number of memcpy in the video pipeline and adding mmal hardware accelerate video decoding. He asked if we could help get them upstreamed. qengho?
15:41 <flexiondotorg> qengho ^ It is a big patch
15:41 <flexiondotorg> · Preparing for an informal mini 2 day snap sprint.
15:41 <qengho> Hrm.
15:41 <qengho> I'll look.
15:41 <seb128> (sorry dunno if you are pasting line by line or if my client is buffering, didn't mean to post while you were still writing)
15:41 <qengho> I like discrete patches.
15:41 <flexiondotorg> I just got it 10 mins ago.
15:41 <flexiondotorg> I'll send it your way.
15:42 <flexiondotorg> seb128 Thanks for answering.
15:42 <flexiondotorg> How can we get that HiDPI stuff landed in time for 16.04.2?
15:42 <flexiondotorg> I'm done. We can discuss the Sys76 HiDPI stuff after.
15:42 <seb128> try asking on #ubuntu-release
15:43 <willcooke> thanks flexiondotorg, let's pick up the hidpi after (if needed)
15:43 <flexiondotorg> OK
15:43 <Laney> Go ask infinit-y in #-release
15:43 <willcooke> #topic hikiko
15:43 <Laney> It's in two days though, so I wouldn't fancy your chances
15:43 <Laney> But maybe
15:43 <hikiko> finally, found a more reliable way to update profiles instantly and have all the settings setup without crashes, +fixes on unity, about to do a few MPs
15:44 <hikiko> (that for lowgfx)
15:44 <hikiko> eof
15:44 <willcooke> thx hikiko
15:44 <willcooke> #topic Laney
15:44 <Laney> hi
15:44 <Laney> • Short week, went on holiday for a few days
15:44 <Laney> • Make autopkgtest-cloud report a failure on repeated kernel panics instead of retrying them forever
15:44 <Laney> • Sent a branch to gnome-software upstream for perusal with some upstreamable (if they like XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP checks) patches
15:44 <Laney> ∘ found a small theme change required to make g-s look nicer
15:44 <Laney> • Helped with SRU of the humanity icon theme hidpi fixes to x/y
15:44 <Laney> • Updated gstreamer to 1.10.3 in zesty, need to SRU
15:44 <Laney> ⁂
15:44 <willcooke> thanks Laney
15:45 <willcooke> #topic qengho
15:45 <qengho> * New upstream Chromium release v56.0.2924.76. Testing. Fixing Trusty build.
15:45 <qengho> * Not much progress on audio problem in the snap of that browser. Debugging in confined snaps is hard.
15:45 <qengho> EOF
15:45 <willcooke> thx qengho
15:45 <willcooke> #topic seb128
15:45 <seb128> got a cold and had a rather slow week, spent it mostly looking at launchpad reports and keeping up with snapd work/discussions
15:45 <seb128> </week>
15:46 <willcooke> :) thx seb128
15:46 <willcooke> #topic Sweet5hark
15:46 <Sweet5hark> - bumped libreoffice 5.3.0 dpkg to new upstream rc3
15:46 <Sweet5hark> - various tweaks temporary removing tests from snap package as i386 is failing - no dice though: snap i386 platform seems to be somehow fundamentally brocken, hard to debug without debug symbols etc. though
15:46 <Sweet5hark> - not filed for uploader rights yet again, sorry
15:46 <Sweet5hark> - scrapped through some launchpad bugs, closed some resolved now
15:46 <Sweet5hark> - some upstream code cleanup
15:46 <Sweet5hark> - FOSDEM stuff
15:46 <Sweet5hark> EOF
15:46 <willcooke> thx Sweet5hark
15:46 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso
15:46 <willcooke> * Tested some backported pulseaudio patches for xenial. Things seem ok, probably need to test with a newer bluez as well, and need to talk to Konrad et al about the patches they have in mind for backporting, since I may have pulled more than they have considered. I'm certainly not interested in patches that change pulseaudio's core, since that would require changes to other moduels which is too risky.
15:46 <willcooke> * Sorted out package bug subscription for pcaudiolib and espeak-ng, thanks to Seb. Just waiting for an archive admin to flip the switch to prmote these to main so that speech-dispatcher can be let through out of proposed.
15:46 <willcooke> * Merged BrlTTY with latest changes in Debian. Once speech-dispatcher lands, there should be a good case for demoting espeak from main to unvierse, and that may take some things with it, like portaudio as well.
15:46 <willcooke> * Investigated some reports of issues with Orca using my gsettings patch from users. I think I may have encountered one or more of these myself, need to reproduce and investigate more, since I'd really like to get this work merged upstream ASAP, as I'd rather not have to carry it. It was originally written to allow for easier Orca settings adjustments in accessibility profiles.
15:46 <willcooke> #topic tkamppeter
15:46 <tkamppeter> - CUPS snap: Tested on Ubuntu Core. Investigations for CUPS snap, especially how to get avahi-daemon onto Ubuntu Core.
15:46 <tkamppeter> - CUPS: Investigations and tests on how well CUPS queues emulate an IPP Everywhere printer (to find out whether a print dialog or print client in general can work without using PPD files).
15:46 <tkamppeter> - Google Summer of Code 2017: Another 3 video conference student interviews. 4-5 students for Common Print Dialog needed. Some more for other subjects (Pranjal Bhor from last year is already put onto fixing bug #1564249).
15:46 <tkamppeter> - Bugs.
