15:42 <Laney> • Short week; off for 1.5 days
15:42 <Laney> • Queue reviews, FFe reviews, lots of times over
15:42 <Laney> • gnome-software patches (master, for 17.10):
15:42 <Laney> ∘ fix installing from URLs (apt://foo), needed fixup for not-found packages
15:42 <Laney> ∘ fix the above to display an error when necessary; waiting for a designer to give an error string
15:42 <Laney> • autopkgtest: a bit of babysitting due to some acid rain in the cloud
15:42 <Laney> • try to help debug / push some things through britney into zesty
15:42 <Laney> 🐶
15:42 <willcooke> thanks Laney

15:43 <willcooke> #topic seb128
15:43 <seb128> • some more fiddling with langpack builders to get a working set of debs for zesty (the stats job is still owned by dpm and hasn't been updated for the new serie)
15:43 <seb128> • joined sponsoring queue squashing party day
15:43 <seb128> • launchpad & e.u.c triaging

15:43 <willcooke> #topic Sweetshark
15:43 <Sweetshark> - was on vacation for 1 week
15:43 <Sweetshark> - tied some lose ends around that: Periguia Hackfest, TDF project budget approvals & tenders
15:43 <Sweetshark> - so mostly just dragging myself through the backlog
15:44 <Sweetshark> - bug 1662227 indeed looks bad though, should get a FFe IMHO (thankfully there is already a fix by r_icotz committed my absence)
15:44 <ubot5> bug 1662227 in libreoffice (Ubuntu) "Error with command "apt-get update" when using versioned "Provides:" (apt is too old to support that case)" [Undecided,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1662227

15:44 <willcooke> thanks Sweetshark
15:44 <willcooke> 10 4 good buddy
15:44 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso
15:44 <willcooke> * Heard from Konrad with an update for pulse in Xenial. Package is available for testing at ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/pulse-testing, and has patches for fixing/improving bluetooth, which is backports of fixes from upstream. I am concerned that one of the patches touches core pulse code and code in the ALSA module, but those changes are small, and that code is in newer upstream releases in yakkety etc and it seems to be ok there.
15:44 <willcooke> * More debugging of the accessibility issues I previously reported about in Unity 7. After talking to Robert, it may have something to do with the lightdm greeters, started setting up a test install to try and test this more thoroughly.
15:44 <willcooke> * Noticed a bug with zesty and ubiquity re accessibility, I think it has to do with the above, because everything is ok if I kill and restart at-spi. Getting to the bottom of the zesty unity 7 accessibility bug as above should resolve this properly.
15:44 <willcooke> #topic tkamppeter
15:44 <tkamppeter> - system-config-printer: Checked whether text-only fallback works with new textonly PPD in cups-printers. It does. No changes needed.
15:44 <tkamppeter> - Common Print Dialog: The Canonical Unity 8 team has already implemented the Qt GUI designed for Ubuntu. Students will then more work on inner works, like D-Bus interface and common printing system access backends.
15:44 <tkamppeter> - Google Summer of Code 2017: Student application period has terminated, sorted out the applications. OpenPrinting will have 7 or 8 students depending on slots we will get from Google.
15:44 <tkamppeter> - Bugs.
15:45 <willcooke> thanks tkamppeter
15:45 <willcooke> #topic Trevinho
