16:04:03 <cjwatson> Test-built all libssl-dev reverse-build-dependencies with a couple of different candidate patches for making libssl-dev Multi-Arch: same:
16:04:06 <cjwatson> - Moving all headers to /usr/include/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) caused far too many failures (67).
16:04:10 <cjwatson> - Moving just <openssl/opensslconf.h> causes two failures in unstable, both of which are easily tractable.  I've filed bugs with patches for both.
16:04:13 <cjwatson> Working again on britney/autopkgtest integration, with Jean-Baptiste's help.  Not sure if I'll have something by EOY but we'll see.

16:05:56 <stokachu> at least thats what ive been told

16:06:21 <stokachu> - I expect high visibility bugs from me to pick back up at beginning of new year.
16:06:24 <stokachu> 
16:06:32 <stokachu> ..
16:09:25 <slangasek> stokachu: hmm, you're only applying for contributing developer?
16:09:35 <slangasek> I thought this was for core dev
16:09:39 <stokachu> slangasek: micah recommended i did that
16:09:50 <slangasek> but contributing developer gives you no upload rights :)
16:10:43 <stokachu> slangasek: what membership board should i apply to
16:10:57 * xnox thought contributing is a bit on the low side. Motu or core-dev is better.
16:10:59 <slangasek> well, we can harrass micahg (and stgraber) about this afterwards
16:11:07 <slangasek> stokachu: the membership board is the DMB in all cases
16:11:11 <xnox> and ogra and barry =)
16:11:34 <stokachu> slangasek: ok cool just point me in the right direction b/c i wasn't totally sure
16:11:47 <stokachu> slangasek: it was initially posted to the main membership board
16:11:51 <barry> stokachu: or ppu
16:11:55 <ev> so what do you get by being a contributing developer if you don't get upload rights? A nice fruit basket?
16:11:59 <barry> (per-package upload rights)
16:12:10 <slangasek> but it doesn't seem optimal to me to go through the process for contributing developer if you're going to be applying for core-dev shortly regardless
16:12:15 <slangasek> ev: Ubuntu Membership
16:12:19 <slangasek> fruit basket optional
16:12:23 <ev> ...
16:12:41 <stokachu> slangasek: looks like i can just add my name to the core dev in the agenda
16:12:43 <ev> oh dear
16:12:46 <stokachu> applying is the same it looks like
16:13:03 <barry> stokachu: different secret handshake
16:13:04 <xnox> stokachu: yeah process is the same for all developer levels.
16:13:08 <stgraber> stokachu: yeah, same board, different agenda item. Just move your application to coredev.
16:13:41 <stokachu> stgraber: do i need to resend out an email to the list?
16:13:44 <slangasek> stokachu: yes; though we should figure out why micahg is still steering you away from core-dev, since he gets to vote on the question of whether you get in ;)
16:13:46 <stokachu> my original one said core dev
16:13:49 <stgraber> stokachu: coredev will give you ubuntu membership automatically, so no need to first apply for contributing developer.
16:14:26 <stgraber> stokachu: just reply to your e-mail to devel-permissions saying that you instead want to be considered for coredev.
16:14:28 <barry> he prepares harder questions for coredev applicants :)
16:14:29 <slangasek> stokachu: if informal polling of the DMB suggests you're not ready for core-dev, you probably want to find out what more they want to see from you, and focus on that so you don't have to go through the process twice
16:14:49 <stokachu> ok
16:15:11 <stgraber> stokachu: I haven't looked at your recent history, but last I checked the only thing that was missing was the "sustained" part which has definitely be solved since ;)
16:15:20 <slangasek> I guess it's my turn to spam the channel
16:15:22 <stgraber> (as I remember you last poking me 6 months or so ago)
16:15:24 * xnox did go contributing -> core-dev jump. But I did apply for contributing dev way back when i was "green"
16:15:30 <slangasek> * Following up on Samsung laptop EFI bricking; looking like we may want to disable samsung-laptop module as a workaround
16:15:33 <slangasek> * UEFI Secure Boot updates.  Latest upstream version of gnu-efi+shim give a black screen and a reboot.  Still tracking down.
16:15:36 <slangasek> * Doing my "fix 5 package cross-builds" work item; for one of them, fixed valac for use as a cross-build-dep
16:15:39 <slangasek> * Working on gobject-introspection porting to python3, possibly tackling the cross-build-dep problem after that
16:15:42 <slangasek> (done)
16:16:12 <slangasek> ev:
16:16:17 <ev> oh hi
16:16:23 <cjwatson> slangasek: did you have a look to see whether any of the packages in question improved in the latest cross-builder run?
16:16:28 <ev> - Going on holiday tomorrow. I'll be back in January. Have a wonderful holiday
16:16:28 <ev> and New Year!
16:16:29 <ev> - The retracers have been moved to autorestart hell, as they were bothering
16:16:29 <ev> webops too much on the weekends. This was mostly because a Cassandra node was
16:16:29 <ev> taken down, which was causing timeouts. Still, we'll need to make the
16:16:29 <ev> retracers more resilient to database failure if we want to get them back into
16:16:29 <ev> a normal service operation.
16:16:36 <ev> - The queue is still massive (~6-8k per arch). We've started to remove some
16:16:36 <ev> cores from it and Tom is working on getting Rabbit queue size hooked up to
16:16:36 <ev> graphite (http://graphite.engineering.ubuntu.com). Trying to get everything
16:16:36 <ev> ready for prodstack as quickly as possible to better remedy this.
16:16:36 <ev> - Spent much of the week getting our charms and daisy in shape for deployment
16:16:36 <ev> to prodstack, following the advice that Tom gave in RT 58019.
16:16:41 <ev> - Fought gunicorn to the death. Discovered the hard way that gunicorn from
16:16:41 <ev> precise is busted. Backported from Quantal.
16:16:41 <ev> - Refactored our separate wsgi scripts for receiving crash reports and core
16:16:41 <ev> dumps, unifying them under a single wsgi service and merging in the S3
16:16:44 <slangasek> cjwatson: I didn't save the 'before' view :)
16:16:46 <ev> support along the way. This makes running them under the gunicorn
16:16:47 <ev> subordinate charm a lot easier.
16:16:47 <ev> - Taught the daisy charm to handle multiple Cassandra nodes coming and going.
16:16:51 <ev> - Daisy is *almost* ready. I just need to wire the Apache frontends to the
16:16:51 <ev> HAProxy instances. Everything else seems to be working. Getting the
16:16:54 <ev> retracer and Errors charms updated should be largely a matter of copying
16:16:54 <ev> code around.
16:16:54 <ev> - Worked a bit with Brian to dig at why getBugSubscriberPackages was not
16:16:54 <ev> returning anything. Brian ultimately tracked down the root cause.
16:16:56 <ev> (done)
16:17:15 <cjwatson> slangasek: or "succeeded", even
16:17:16 <ev> err graphite.engineering.canonical.com
16:18:12 <slangasek> any questions on status?
16:18:45 <slangasek> [TOPIC] AOB
16:18:56 <slangasek> anyone have any plans for the end of the world on Friday?
16:19:27 <cjwatson> I was planning to go to the pub tomorrow evening, if that counts :P

16:19:59 <barry> +1
16:20:11 <stokachu> lol
16:20:16 <slangasek> :-)
16:20:39 * xnox is flying the day after, so I will be packing and doing last minute shopping.
16:20:40 <stgraber> :)
16:20:54 <stokachu> as long as we dont get an emp from a solar flare and i can still get on the internet im good
16:21:06 <slangasek> ok, sounds like that's it for the year then :)
16:21:18 <slangasek> happy holidays, everyone!  don't drink too much eggnog
16:21:26 <slangasek> (drink just the right amount of eggnog)
