Planning to spend a bit more time pushing that up the hill this week, along with switching our GRUB packaging to GCC 4.7. 16:12:34 <cjwatson> Also continuing work on britney/autopkgtest and preparing for the 12.04.2 point release. 16:12:46 <cjwatson> (We need to finish off the SB landings ...) 16:12:46 <cjwatson> .. 16:12:58 <slangasek> indeed we do :/ 16:13:07 <slangasek> doko: 16:13:28 <doko> looked at the cross buildability for buildd chroots, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CrossBuilding/BuilddChroot 16:14:09 <doko> todo for the next week: evaluating ftbfs for the test rebuilds, cross build fixes 16:14:11 <doko> .. 16:14:12 <infinity> I'll get the eglibc parts of that fixed along with the 2.17 upload. 16:14:22 <slangasek> doko: I was going to ask, I notice that dbus says 'requires python-dbus' but there's no comment on why dbus-python doesn't build 16:14:37 <doko> circular b-d 16:14:45 <slangasek> ok 16:14:52 * xnox fixed e2fsprogs & commented about shadow. 16:15:04 * barry was quasi-blissfully semi-offline for the xmas break. todo: finish up oneconf, and then the usual. done. 16:15:58 <slangasek> so I accomplished none of the things I had put on my list to work on over break, because instead I've wound up prepping for a surprise trip to China 16:16:12 <xnox> \0/ awesome =) 16:16:19 <slangasek> which is from 5-9 Jan 16:16:21 <doko> cjwatson, should we drop versioned b-d's where the package builds otherwise? 16:16:50 <cjwatson> doko: example? 16:16:55 <doko> cjwatson, perl 16:16:58 <infinity> doko: I really think we need better ways to mangle build-deps in the build process. 16:17:01 <barry> slangasek: hopefully for fun! 16:17:15 <doko> cjwatson, or eglibc 16:17:17 <infinity> doko: Cause versioned build-deps are often correct and sane (especially for people attempting to backport) 16:17:21 <cjwatson> yeah, what infinity said, we should fix that in sbuild 16:17:23 <slangasek> I'll also be off this Friday as a swap day; and I won't have any of my keys with me (or even my laptop) so don't expect me to be doing any other work those days :) 16:17:31 <slangasek> barry: it's work :) 16:17:38 <barry> ah well 16:17:46 <cjwatson> and I'd like to keep those around as good test cases 16:17:49 <doko> cjwatson, hmm, but that won't work for dpkg-buildpackage? 16:18:28 <infinity> Yeah, the cross-fu almost needs to be in dpkg-checkbuilddeps. 16:18:43 <cjwatson> sbuild and dpkg-checkbuilddeps, yes 16:18:44 * xnox is next, I guess..... 16:18:46 <infinity> (Though sbuild also needs to know about it) 16:18:49 <slangasek> so other than trying to get everything in order for that trip & associated presentations next week, I still need to get the gnu-efi regression sorted out to follow through on the SB updates 16:18:54 <cjwatson> I don't see why we can't do it for both - I just haven't got round to it yet 16:19:02 <slangasek> and that's probably about as much as you can expect me to get done this week 16:19:05 <slangasek> .. 16:19:06 <bdmurray> xnox: I'm next but waiting for a done 16:19:10 <cjwatson> seeing as we only really came up with the general mangling idea in Dec 16:19:45 <xnox> bdmurray: hello =) sorry, I missread holiday calendar. 16:19:57 <bdmurray> I neglected sending an update on the 19th so have some stuff to report from before the break. 16:20:07 <bdmurray> uploaded ubuntu-release-upgrader fix for bug 1071388 16:20:07 <bdmurray> uploaded whoopsie to quantal-proposed fixing bug 1084311 16:20:07 <bdmurray> uploaded SRU fix for bug 1066347 16:20:07 <bdmurray> arsenal merge proposal regarding collect-bug-data and inactive users 16:20:09 <ubottu> bug 1071388 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu Quantal) "UnicodeDecodeError in askYesNoQuestion of DistUpgradeViewText.py" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1071388 16:20:11 <ubottu> bug 1084311 in whoopsie (Ubuntu Quantal) "modifies .uploaded time every time whoopsie starts" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1084311 16:20:12 <ubottu> bug 1066347 in apt-clone (Ubuntu Precise) ""Reinstall Ubuntu" failed - apt-clone crashes with: KeyError: "filename './etc/apt/sources.list' not found" line 1886 in getmember in tarfile.py" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1066347 16:20:20 <bdmurray> reported daisy bug 1090583 regarding failure to upload core dump 16:20:20 <bdmurray> worked on source package view for errors.ubuntu.com 16:20:20 <bdmurray> worked on team view for errors.ubuntu.com 16:20:20 <bdmurray> patch piloted 16:20:20 <bdmurray> SRU verification of bug 936870 16:20:22 <ubottu> bug 1090583 in Daisy "unable to submit a touchegg core dump to daisy" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1090583 16:20:23 <ubottu> bug 936870 in unattended-upgrades (Ubuntu Precise) "unattended upgrade failing due to incorrectly detected conffile prompt due to "newconffile" line" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/936870 16:20:40 <bdmurray> this week I'll be finishing up the source package view and team view at errors.ubuntu.com 16:20:54 <bdmurray> ⁂ done ⁂ 16:21:35 <xnox> * fixed a couple FTBFS (from archive, rebuild, cross). 16:21:35 <xnox> * In-progress finding what's causing partman hangs on some systems 16:21:35 <xnox> * Upstart - overrides from any directory: implemented, existing tests 16:21:35 <xnox> pass, now fixing memleaks & writing tests for new functionality. 16:21:54 <xnox> that's it from christmas break. 16:21:58 <xnox> - done - 16:22:47 <slangasek> xnox: is there a bug ref for these partman hangs?
