I'm not sure what he has planned 18:05:02 (hopefully sleep) 18:05:30 sbeattie: that was my starting point, since there are no reverse depends. in thinking about it over the weekend though, I think we may want to also export python2 18:05:56 would we need a separate package for that? 18:06:07 our python tools should be bi-lingual, so it should just be a matter of putting things in the right place 18:06:15 okay 18:06:28 sbeattie: based on my understanding of the Debian/Ubuntu python packaging guidelines, yes 18:06:52 I am going to get some advice on that though 18:07:26 it should be possible to just build the python bindings twice 18:07:42 that is what I was hoping 18:08:14 the recent commits make it so that PYTHON* env variables dtrt 18:08:26 so I just need to work out how to package that bit 18:08:56 yeah. is there a dh_python3, or does dh_python2 handle both? 18:09:04 dh_python3 isn't being super helpful atm-- it is putting things in site-packages instead of dist-packages so python3 script can't find it 18:09:43 kees: both-- I think dh_python2 can be passed --with-python3 and then maybe it will work. I'm kinda in the middle of it, so not sure 18:09:48 cool 18:09:50 hrm, I thought site-packages was deprecated since python 2.6? 18:09:56 micahg: exactly 18:10:20 well, that sounds like a bug that should be easily fixed, has anyone talked to doko_ about it? 18:10:26 anyhoo-- we don't need to bikeshed this-- I'm on it and will work it out. if I need help, I'll holler 18:10:38 jdstrand: site-packages vs dist-packages means you aren't calling setup.py correctly 18:11:00 tumbleweed: heh, thanks. I read something on that and thought that might be the case 18:11:08 you want --install-layout=deb 18:11:12 but haven't had a chance to try it 18:11:30 tumbleweed: noted. this may go faster than I thought. thanks! :) 18:11:55 sbeattie: you're up 18:12:09 I'm in the happy place this week 18:12:54 I'm testing the openjdk-6/icedtea-web backport/update; hoping to have that out by the end of this week. 18:13:08 I've also got an embargoed issue on my plate 18:13:29 I need to catch up on the open apparmor patches for review. 18:13:52 and that's pretty much it for me; I'll be off the 4th for the US national holiday. 18:14:00 micahg: you're up 18:14:41 I'll be helping sbeattie test the icedtea backport as it fixes a regression for me, and then working on webkit 18:14:49 I think that's it 18:15:23 I'm in the community role this week 18:15:43 I'm wrapping up some Mozilla testing as we speak and then my focus will shift to the pidgin update 18:16:25 I didn't get much time to work on it last week since I was catching up on the Mozilla pretesting schedule and working through some issues I ran into while doing that 18:16:40 tyhicks: did you sort out those issues? 18:16:57 I've got a short week. Half a day off tomorrow, the holiday, and then a full day off on Thursday. 18:17:19 jdstrand: Yep - it was a problem with our thunderbird config dir tar that we pull out of QRT. I can fill you in after the meeting. 18:17:40 (the rest was 'fixed' by filing bugs against ff/tbird) 18:17:58 I still haven't gotten to my merges, so any free time will be spent on those. 18:18:02 That's it for me 18:18:14 jdstrand: You're up since jj is away today 18:18:53 [TOPIC] Highlighted packages 18:18:57 The Ubuntu Security team will highlight some community-supported packages that might be good candidates for updating and or triaging. If you would like to help Ubuntu and not sure where to start, this is a great way to do so. 18:19:02 See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdateProcedures for details and if you have any questions, feel free to ask in #ubuntu-security.

Performing these updates is a great way to help Ubuntu and bolster your developer application. 18:20:09 Does anyone have any other questions or items to discuss? 18:20:18 I've got the xorg update for precise tested, can someone publish it? 18:20:31 it's been sitting since UDS :P 18:22:25 kees: remind me-- is that >= 1.10 or > 1.10 18:22:57 That probably falls on my shoulders since I'm on community this week, but I doubt I'll be able to get to it with my short work week 18:23:44 jdstrand: ? 18:23:59 kees: what version of X is affected? 18:24:39 jdstrand: ah! introduced in 1.10 (LP: #996250) 18:26:36 kees: ok, so that means that natty and oneiric are also affected 18:26:49 yeah, I didn't attempt those backports. 18:26:53 sure 18:27:11 we have currently prioritized this as 'low' due to our hardening measures 18:27:32 which is why no one has done anything yet 18:27:50 of course, the patch is sitting there, so someone could try to get that going 18:28:11 kees: do you feel 'low' is not appropriate for Ubuntu? 18:30:19 well... 18:30:30 it's a DoS due to upstart killing the respawn. 18:30:50 and since on restart it aborts during video init, the console is unusable after the 1st restart 18:31:26 so, it's kind of borderline. anyone can ruin your unsaved-work day by sticking in the evil hid thingy 18:31:39 yeah 18:31:40 it's also very unlikely. :P 18:31:50 yes-- requires physical access 18:31:53 ... unless you're in the vicinity of kees 18:31:57 :P 18:32:11 "workaround: avoid kees" 18:32:23 I can much less creatively ruin your work if I have physical access 18:32:46 anyhoo, it sounds like tyhicks will be looking at it 18:32:58 cool, thanks 18:33:08 hopefully a backport will be straightforward and easy to test 18:33:28 anything else to discuss? 18:33:30 I *think* the backport of my patch for 1.11 shouldn't be much worse for 1.10. I already hauled in all the new functions for 1.11 18:41:57 sbeattie, micahg, tyhicks, kees: thanks! 18:41:59 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
