Cleaned up small amounts of breakage that resulted from a related Launchpad bug. 16:11:49 Added lucid apt/python-apt backports to precise alternate CDs. 16:11:52 Started to convert things to gnutls28, then realised that was a bad idea for precise (see ubuntu-devel@). 16:11:55 Fixed live filesystem build breakage yesterday. 16:11:57 Added lucid installer images with natty and oneiric backported kernels; arranged for these to be available on lucid DVDs. 16:12:00 Cleaned up some easy "send information to people" work items. 16:12:03 Started work on a script to data-mine build times from Launchpad. Less convenient than expected because the API doesn't expose this yet. 16:12:06 Converted other archive admin processes away from sync-source.py; submitted LP branch to remove the latter, all its works, and all its empty promises. 16:12:09 .. 16:12:25 Oh, and discussed desired new-world-order backport semantics with broder. 16:12:36 stgraber: ifupdown> fwiw, Andrew Shadura had pinged me about getting my ifquery patch rebased (Debian bug #568479) - so if and when you get that merge done, let me know 16:12:37 Debian bug 568479 in ifupdown "ifupdown: please add an 'ifquery' that can authoritatively parse /etc/network/interfaces" [Wishlist,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/568479 16:12:50 - Short week; holiday through Thursday. 16:12:51 - Getting caught up on a month of emails. Reminding myself what it is I do here :-( 16:12:52 - Packaged and uploaded whoopsie-daisy, the crash reporter and database for 16:12:52 Ubuntu. 16:12:52 - Bug fixes to the crash reporting daemon. 16:12:52 - Fixed build dependencies for whoopsie-daisy. 16:12:57 Can't be that far back, I rebased it for alphawhateveritwas 16:12:59 - Talked to Matthew about the best path forward for recovering from a failed 16:12:59 upgrade. He had continuing the upgrade from ubiquity using apt-clone. I 16:13:00 suggested this was less than ideal, as it's a fundamentally different 16:13:00 upgrade mechanism from what they started with. I suggested he talk to 16:13:00 Michael and Robert Ancell (who's doing the better recovery spec) about 16:13:01 looking for a broken dpkg early at boot and running dpkg --configure -a or 16:13:01 what-have-you. 16:13:01 - Added an upstart job to whoopsie. 16:13:01 - Moved to txstatsd for the web frontend metrics submission. 16:13:02 - Moved from mod_python to mod_wsgi. 16:13:06 stgraber: util-linux> fixed wrt what? 16:13:07 - Main Inclusion Request for whoopsie-daisy (LP: #913694). 16:13:07 - Put in my request to attend Pycon. 16:13:08 - Added bson insertion and hostname specification support to oops-repository. 16:13:08 - Tried to get oops-repository's test harness working. Ran face first into 16:13:08 http://bugs.python.org/issue7559 16:13:08 - Added core submission support. 16:13:13 - Investigation around the retracer. Because we need to unbase64, unzip, and 16:13:13 read the architecture out from core dump, it may make more sense to have two 16:13:13 RabbitMQ queues. The first will process the core files as they've been 16:13:14 recieved by the user (first written to a SAN). The path to this resulting 16:13:14 unpacked core file will be put on an architecture-specific queue for a 16:13:14 retracer to pick up. 16:13:14 - Added MQ publishing (for the aforementioned core processing) to the core 16:13:15 submission web frontend. 16:13:15 - Added the aforementioned processing of core files. Still need to retrace 16:13:28 (done) 16:14:02 slangasek: getty not working in containers 16:14:12 stgraber: ah yes, ack 16:16:39 ok 16:16:45 any questions on status all around? 16:17:21 [TOPIC] Bugs 16:17:31 just one bug today - bug 914794 16:17:32 Launchpad bug 914794 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "Gdk-CRITICAL errors output when updating from command line" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/914794 16:18:47 bdmurray: i guess this happens when you start u-m from the cli? i think i've seen this 16:19:05 hrm, lots of fun error messages in there 16:19:06 yes, I saw some of the messages doing it on precise 16:19:36 so this one Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_get_pointer: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed 16:21:46 so the gtk warning is weird in its own right, but I don't see any way that it would be a multiarch problem 16:21:57 so I think this is probably a bug w/ the desktop stack 16:22:13 okay, I'll follow up with somebody there 16:22:13 bdmurray: can we punt that over for the desktop team to look at? 16:22:15 thanks 16:22:24 [TOPIC] AOB 16:22:36 evince throws exactly the same msg on the cli fwiw. 16:22:46 right - and evince isn't ours :-) 16:22:52 anything else today? 16:23:04 still trapped in the UK :-/ 16:23:04 i think people developing on gtk are just generally bad about dealing with those messages 16:23:18 suggestions for what to include in a hungarian care package to send back to ev? 16:23:33 I hear goulash posts well 16:23:34 (paprika and palinka) 16:23:46 tokaij 16:23:48 * may not actually be true 16:23:51 an entire spa would be nice 16:24:18 I have a very quiet non-snoring roomie here =) 16:24:20 doko: every time I buy a bottle of tokaji the contents mysteriously drain out 16:24:39 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AlanBell/mootbot)
