15:06:53 <jodh> * misc:
15:06:53 <jodh> - Out Friday (at LegoLand! Now proud owner of a Lego Stormtrooper
15:06:53 <jodh> keyring ;-)
15:06:53 <jodh> - Patch piloting on Monday.
15:06:56 <jodh> * boot/upstart: stateful-reexec: Lots of progress:
15:07:00 <jodh> - merged lp:~cjwatson/upstart/stateful-reexec-ptrace.
15:07:03 <jodh> - Fixed string handling to use JSON null which squashes a number of
15:07:06 <jodh> bugs.
15:07:09 <jodh> - Fixed argument handling to avoid any possibility of argument
15:07:12 <jodh> exhaustion for repeated re-execs.
15:07:16 <jodh> - Wrote a lot of test support code to allow all serialised object
15:07:19 <jodh> types to be "diffed".
15:07:22 <jodh> - Wrote a few basic tests for Session, Process, Event, Log, Job and JobClass.
15:07:25 <jodh> - Fixed initctl test to avoid sending Upstart SIGTERM (to avoid re-exec! ;-)
15:07:26 <jodh> - Sent patch to man-pages project for ptrace(2):
15:07:30 <jodh> http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.man/3163
15:07:33 <jodh> - Currently finishing a trick Log test.
15:07:36 <jodh> * Plan:
15:07:39 <jodh> - Continue to write tests.
15:07:42 <jodh> - Rework state-passing code to handle failure scenarios better.
15:07:46 <jodh> - Attempt to add temporary D-Bus connection handling code (until D-Bus
15:07:49 <jodh> itself offers this facility) and/or tweak bridges to auto-reconnect.
15:07:52 <jodh> - Build an updated package and put out further call for testers.
15:07:55 <jodh> ܫ
15:08:03 <cjwatson> jodh: so I don't think an FFe was ever filed for stateful-reexec - what's the plan regarding stateful-reexec and quantal (is there one?)
15:08:19 <cjwatson> and if so what do we need to do in the next ~week to get it landed?
