Sadly. 15:04:44 * ogra_ is still planning to fix the ubuntu-core DL page if i ever find out how the heck infinity manages to make make-web-indiciec being ignored 15:04:57 <NCommander> ogra_: deep voodoo 15:05:03 <ogra_> yeah 15:05:08 <ogra_> maple voodo :) 15:05:13 <infinity> :P 15:05:30 <infinity> We can talk later. 15:05:35 <infinity> I didn't realise you were having issues. 15:05:39 <NCommander> [topic] ARM Server Status (NCommander) 15:05:49 <NCommander> linux-armadaxp exists 15:05:51 <ogra_> yeah, not today though 15:06:00 <infinity> It even installs. 15:06:06 <ogra_> .... i didnt shout yet since i want to find out myself first :) 15:06:30 <NCommander> working on the d-i portion, and working with cooloney to merge in the lastest bits from Marvell 15:06:40 <ogra_> ready today ? 15:07:13 <NCommander> We didn't quite make feature freeze withthe actual d-i bit but the rest should be there 15:08:03 <NCommander> except images tonight/tomrrow 15:08:08 <ogra_> ready tomorrow ? (else i need to notify about the FF exception in tomorrows release meeting) 15:08:18 <ogra_> ok 15:08:40 <NCommander> ogra_: probably tonight if everything goes as planned.If not,tomorrow 15:08:56 <NCommander> disclaimer 15:09:23 <ogra_> ok 15:09:25 <NCommander> this is for netboot.

Not sure why it built on armel 15:14:45 <infinity> It takes several builds to beat the race on x86 buildds. 15:14:57 <NCommander> infinity: thatbug is STILL around? 15:15:01 <infinity> We've just been throwing it back until it sticks. :/ 15:15:13 <NCommander> I remember keybuk working on that race when he was still here 15:15:17 <janimo`> infinity, so it is a bug but very subtle. throw it back I guess then :) 15:15:22 <infinity> janimo`: That said, arm-specific or not, the upstart devs might appreciate someone finding the problem. 15:15:25 <ogra_> infinity, well, let the awesome janimo` look at it :) 15:15:40 <infinity> janimo`: We can't get it to stick reliably on arm, that's the problem. :P 15:15:54 <janimo`> if we used systemd we could just blame Lennart. Now we have to do actual debugging, grumble 15:16:10 <ogra_> lol 15:16:16 <ogra_> now thats a reason for switching 15:16:19 <GrueMaster> heh 15:16:26 <ogra_> "because we can whine about lennart" 15:16:46 <NCommander> somehow, I don't think it would make ARM bugs vanish 15:16:54 <GrueMaster> I think slangasek was looking at this yesterday as well. Saw a post of him mucking with cross-compiling in qemu. 15:17:15 <ogra_> NCommander, no, but we could just just blame him for them ;) 15:17:39 <janimo`> we should persuade Lennart to take over upstream upstart maintainership, then we can blame him without switching 15:17:41 <NCommander> ogra_: but we can blame Scott for upstart so whats the difference :-P 15:18:00 <ogra_> janimo`, awesome idea ! 15:18:07 <infinity> vorlon's upload was meant to fix the test that still fails so, yeah, catching up with him might be good. 15:18:09 <ogra_> NCommander, we like scott 15:18:19 <NCommander> [action] janimo` to get Lennart to maintain upstart 15:18:19 * meetingology janimo` to get Lennart to maintain upstart 15:18:28 <NCommander> I figured you got libo fixed, that shouldn't be hard 15:18:40 <janimo`> hmm, you have apoint 15:19:01 <NCommander> anyway 15:19:05 <NCommander> [topic] ARM Image Status (ogra, NCommander) 15:19:13 <ogra_> broken today 15:19:13 <NCommander> To soon be existing for arm server 15:19:17 <ogra_> thanks to compiz ftbfs 15:19:27 <ogra_> (across the board) 15:19:44 <ogra_> oh, and an announcement (seems to fit here) 15:19:44 <janimo`> that compiz ftbfs seems like a QT issue 15:19:48 <janimo`> the kde backend is the one failing 15:19:49 <ogra_> canonical will from today on support armhf 15:19:55 <ogra_> ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' 15:19:56 <janimo`> \o/ 15:20:05 <GrueMaster> WOOT! 15:20:05 <ogra_> and turn armel into community supported 15:20:19 <NCommander> so GrueMaster will still test it! 15:20:20 <infinity> I'm dropping armel+mx5 and armel+omap4 images today. 15:20:21 <ogra_> i guess infinity can tell us which images we still build for armel 15:20:30 <GrueMaster> Are we dropping image builds for armel? 15:20:34 <GrueMaster> YEA! 15:20:36 <ogra_> GrueMaster, not all 15:20:40 <infinity> We'll still build armel+omap and armel+ac100, and drop ac100 when nvidia gives us armhf drivers. 15:20:54 <janimo`> that means there are slots freed for live image testbuilds sometime soonish ? 15:20:56 <infinity> Ultimately, we should just be building armel+omap for smoketesting. 15:21:09 <infinity> janimo`: Not really. 15:21:17 <infinity> janimo`: It means we don't have to wait 16 hours for all the images to build. 15:21:21 <ogra_> janimo`, there are tons of slots once infinity is done with the move to LP buildds for image builds 15:21:21 <janimo`> infinity, you keep shattering my dreams 15:21:31 <NCommander> janimo`: he's good at that 15:21:37 <ogra_> but that will still take a bit 15:21:47 <janimo`> he has no sleep and dreams, so messes with others' 15:22:00 <infinity> Yes, yes, I'm a bad man. 15:22:02 <infinity> Moving on. 15:22:06 <ogra_> ++ 15:22:14 <NCommander> [topic] QA Status (GrueMaster, mahmoh) 15:22:51 <GrueMaster> I wrote a few scripts to do server load testing. One for the lamp stack, one for rabbitmq. 15:23:28 <GrueMaster> Also working on getting power meter data acquisition going. Works on a panda so far. 15:23:44 <ogra_> nice 15:24:00 <ogra_> do you have any intel based comparison data ? 15:24:02 <GrueMaster> Tested daily images earlier this week, no sudden deaths. Looking solid. 15:24:25 <ogra_> (i.e. from cking) 15:24:35 <GrueMaster> Unfortunately, it is just a digital amp meter. Very hard to get power loads across multiple voltages. 15:24:43 <ogra_> ah, k 15:24:56 <GrueMaster> he is testing with a laptop. 15:25:04 <ogra_> right 15:25:11 <GrueMaster> And completely different loads. 15:25:18 <ogra_> k 15:25:57 <NCommander> anything else? 15:26:03 <NCommander> [topic] Linaro Updates (rsalveti) 15:26:03 <ogra_> move 15:26:05 <NCommander> er 15:26:07 <GrueMaster> I put my arm server test system on a kill-a-watt device, but it barely registers. 15:26:12 <mahmoh> I ran some kernel burn in yesterday and pushed a PTS script to the workload branch - getting to WI today 15:26:24 <ogra_> oh. lots else :) 15:26:55 <NCommander> still no rsajdok 15:26:56 <NCommander> er 15:27:01 <NCommander> still no rsalveti 15:27:04 <NCommander> [topic] AOB 15:27:07 <ogra_> well, lets skip this then 15:27:15 <Riddell> janimo`: it seems gcc has got stricter again and some new errors are turning up, that compiz issue is one 15:27:19 <ogra_> though i would have loved to hear where compiz stands :( 15:27:22 <GrueMaster> janimo`: I'd like to get info on how you tested erlang & rabbitmq last cycle. after the meeting 15:27:27 <Riddell> janimo`: and so is digikam and something else 15:27:30 <janimo`> GrueMaster, ok 15:27:44 <janimo`> Riddell, ah, so a bug for Linaro gcc folks I guess? 15:27:53 <ogra_> or for doko .) 15:27:56 <Riddell> janimo`: it's probably not hard to work out the way to keep the compiler happy but it's hard for me with no arm hardware 15:28:06 <Riddell> janimo`: or just drop the kde compiz bits as a workaround 15:28:30 <Riddell> janimo`: only if they enjoy fixing c++ cast problems :) 15:28:32 <janimo`> Riddell, ok, we'll probably do that as a workaround since the alternative is fixing and uploading Qt 15:28:33 <GrueMaster> Riddell: I thought you had a panda? 15:28:35 <janimo`> which takes longer 15:28:47 <Riddell> janimo`: compiz is a "bug" in kdelibs not qt 15:28:58 <janimo`> Riddell, it's part of their job to fix C++ cast problems :) 15:29:00 <Riddell> GrueMaster: I do, yet to find time/knowledge to set it up 15:29:02 <infinity> janimo`: Fixing the errors seems saner than disabling features. 15:29:13 * ogra_ agrees that compiz is a bug .... not only in kdelibs 15:29:26 <janimo`> infinity, sure unless fixing it means no images for weeks? 15:29:29 <GrueMaster> Riddell: Get with me offline, I can get you up and running in minutes. 15:29:53 <ogra_> yes, getting a panda up is a matter of a few minutes nowadays 15:29:58 <Riddell> GrueMaster: I will do next time I find some minutes 15:30:03 <ogra_> (plus download time) 15:32:40 <NCommander> anything else or can I close? 15:32:46 <ogra_> close 15:33:03 <NCommander> #endmeeting
