Playing with debdelta, which looks promising, including working on a Python 3 port. 15:05 Refactored click-package into the pattern of a single master command with subcommands (will land shortly). 15:05 Lots of merges/syncs, including giant debhelper merge. automake1.13 was some fun due to a buildd still running ext3. Helped to fix firefox on powerpc. 15:05 Finished several transitions (ghc, libgd, net-snmp, bits of ocaml). 15:05 Sorted out some confusion with ubuntu-touch-meta. 15:05 Several Debian NMUs / QA uploads to try to reduce deltas when I'm bored of merging things. 15:05 Proposed Debconf BOF on Ubuntu daily quality and how it overlaps with Debian's CUT project. 15:05 Next week: really, really get autopkgtest/proposed-migration integration going. 15:05 .. 15:06 (and by "promising" I think I mean "makes my eyes bleed but seems to fill the right slot") 15:07 please skip me. not ready yet. 15:07 LP: #1185170, python-gnupg 0.3.3-0ubuntu1 and 0.3.4-0ubuntu1 15:07 Launchpad bug 1185170 in python-json-pointer (Ubuntu) "setup.py stumbles about an umlaut in jsonpointer.py when running under Python 3" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1185170 15:07 dmb meeting 15:08 emacs 24.3 upgrade (yay! but it broke a few minor things that had to be tracked down) 15:08 image based upgrades: gpg regime (blacklists, api refactoring, keyring download/verification/unpacking) lp:~barry/+junk/gpg for now 15:08 todo: continue working on the gpg spec 15:08 done 15:08 barry: sorry barry about emacs =) 15:08 xnox: no, no, no... *thank* you. the upgrade fixed more bugs than it caused :) 15:10 no stokachu today (at a sprint AIUI) 15:10 jodh: 15:10 * foundations-1305-upstart-app-launching 15:10 - Reworked lp:~jamesodhunt/upstart/libupstart to use an unpacked 15:10 ABI dump. 15:10 - Lots of rework on lp:~jamesodhunt/upstart/allow-multiple-cmdline-confdirs 15:10 to improve test code-sharing and make writing new functional tests easier. 15:10 - Raised MP for lp:~jamesodhunt/upstart/bug-1159895. 15:10 * misc: 15:10 - LPC13 planning. 15:10 * TODO: 15:10 - Ideally get lp:~jamesodhunt/upstart/serialise-remaining-objects merged 15:10 upstream today. 15:11 - Go on holiday (from tomorrow, back on 20th). 15:11 ʚ 15:11 - android cross toolchain uploaded to PPA 15:11 - GCC 4.8.1 update, now updating cross compilers 15:11 - Mon and Tue two days off 15:11 (done) 15:12 ev: 15:12 drats 15:12 - https://wiki.canonical.com/Cassandra 15:12 - Rewrote and sent the announce email for the errors.ubuntu.com NDA: 15:12 https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2013-May/001039.html 15:12 - Processing quite a few NDA signatures :). 15:12 - Investigated and resolved a problem where the NDA signature team couldn't 15:12 access errors.ubuntu.com - we accidentally dropped a cowboy. 15:12 - Attended a Cassandra meetup. Trip report here: 15:12 https://lists.launchpad.net/canonical-tech/msg06936.html 15:12 doko: do you know if ogra (or anyone) has started using the cross-toolchain yet? I think he might be busy still with other pieces of the puzzle 15:12 - Worked with webops to get OOPS reporting to oops.canonical.com after many 15:12 configuration headaches: 15:12 https://oops.canonical.com/reports/WHOOPSIE-PROD/ 15:12 This means we no longer get 404s on some reports, and can scale to N wsgi 15:12 workers without having OOPS reports in N places. 15:12 - Debugging why we were getting authentication failures to Swift when 15:12 submitting core dumps with the webops team. It looks like RED kicked in 15:12 because we are so behind on processing retraces (it fires on high disk usage) 15:12 and that somehow caused the auth failures further down the chain. Still 15:12 looking into this one. 15:12 - Code review for Brian. 15:12 - Got webops to start graphing the time to process HTTP requests on 15:12 daisy.ubuntu.com after discussions with Tom. We want to be able to measure 15:12 the performance impact with the move to Ceph, which this should let us do 15:12 quite well. 15:12 slangasek, i'm to busy with the container flip still 15:13 - Debugging why the back population jobs were falling over. This turns out to 15:13 be HAProxy being a very bad idea when using pycassa: 15:13 https://rt.admin.canonical.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=62023 15:13 - Working with webops to get a test Cassandra node provisioned to try 15:13 compression again, given learnings from the Cassandra meetup: 15:13 https://rt.admin.canonical.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=61877 15:13 - Added code to provide OOPS reports on javascript exceptions in 15:13 errors.ubuntu.com. 15:13 ogra: ok :) 15:13 - Improved our OOPS reporting on errors in JSON API calls. We now include the 15:13 traceback for those. 15:13 - Discussion with Katherine on how we can provide people like Kees access to 15:13 the error data for investigating security vulnerabilities. 15:13 - Added RED support to the prodstack version of lp:daisy. Broken and in turn 15:13 preventing merges from landing; investigating. 15:13 - Working with Ted to get them using recoverable problems for glib critical 15:13 errors. 15:13 slangasek, i plan to try it out for the updater-binary (most important bit for zip creation) before end of the week 15:13 - More chatting with the server team on getting error reporting up and running. 15:13 Sounds like a d-i module for automatic error reporting and something in motd 15:13 to point at outstanding reports are good places to start, and I think we have 15:13 consensus. Next step will be talking with the juju team to see how we can 15:13 make it easy to enable from there. 15:13 - Added metrics to support monitoring usage of errors.ubuntu.com, as laid out 15:13 in the NDA. 15:13 ogra: great! 15:13 More, I'm sure, but I ran out of time typing :) 15:13 (done!) 15:13 slangasek, no, will ask 15:14 ahh ... 15:14 ev: getting any NDA requests from people who shouldn't be given access to the data? :P 15:14 slangasek: there's been at least two people who tried to provide an incomplete or nonexistent address. Just a reminder folks, "The Internet" is not a place we can send snail mail to. 15:14 I've followed up and convinced them to do the right thing. 15:15 pff, snail mail 15:15 but there haven't been people who claimed to be part of some nonexistent project yet 15:15 it's mostly been names I recognise 15:15 and some Canonical people (I'm adding them in, in case they ever jump ship and still want access) 15:15 Blueprint-related work: 15:15 - Image based updates (BLUEPRINT: foundations-1305-image-based-updates) 15:15 - Waiting on review of the GPG implementation plan, need to get the keys generated and signed after that. 15:15 - Waiting for IS to setup the image based update server. 15:15 - Update the differ to be pure python. We no longer need to unpack the tarballs for the checksuming part. 15:15 - Rebuild the test server (http://phablet.stgraber.org) to match the current version of the spec. Includes all the needed keyrings and real test tarballs. 15:16 - Added a new function, generate_version_tarball, which generates our version tarball (containing /etc/ubuntu-build) 15:16 - The testsuite now covers all the server side code. 15:16 Other work: 15:16 - release/cdimage 15:16 - Quick production update of the QATracker (css update by knome) 15:16 - Wrote a script to extract flavours participating in the current milestone (to be integrated in seeded-in-ubuntu) 15:16 - Fixed broken (outdated) invoked-rc.d in ubuntu-release-upgrader 15:16 - Ubuntu touch 15:16 - Tweaked adbd to use nss to find what shell to use 15:16 slangasek: I'm going to do a few drives for people to fill it out though. This isn't going to be a throw the mail over the wall and be done with it thing. 15:16 - Discussed the partitioning plan and fs layout for touch devices. 15:16 - Upstart 15:16 - Looked at and commented on a few merge proposals. 15:16 - Discussed SRU plan for the serialization work. 15:16 - Wrote upstart user session jobs for startkde, xfce4-session and startlxde 15:16 - Tested upstart user session on Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, Ubuntu GNOME and Edubuntu 15:16 - The plan is to switch all those sessions to run under upstart in a couple of weeks 15:16 ev: ah, cool 15:16 - LXC 15:16 - Answered some questions from the QA/desktop team on using LXC for their desktop tests 15:16 - Some more autostart discussions upstream, I think we have a plan now, just need to implement it 15:16 - Some code reviews 15:16 15:16 TODO: 15:17 - Finish self-rebuilds feature implementation on nusakan 15:17 - Implement some of the remaining bits for the image based update server tools 15:17 ev: if you're doing drives for legal documents, you could get them to sign the CLA too while they're at it ;) 15:17 - Process some pending merges (ifupdown and resolvconf) 15:17 (DONE) 15:17 stgraber: image-based update server - AIUI from the ticket (and my sync call with IS), this ticket has been dispatched to the DC engineer and we should see some movement soon 15:17 slangasek: how far up the hill do you want me to push that boulder then? 15:18 slangasek: yep, I got pinged by deej yesterday, looks like we've got hardware, just need to have it setup 15:18 ev: :) 15:18 :D 15:19 * in a long-running battle with bug #1152736 15:19 * worked with stgraber to validate, upload nfs-utils merge; seem to have gotten myself comaintainer status in Debian as an unfortunate side-effect 15:19 bug 1152736 in linux (Ubuntu Saucy) "system swapping itself to death in raring for no good reason" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1152736 15:19 * working with the phonedations team on the ubuntu-touch container flip: 15:19 * current model is using chrooting under userdata partition, not the read-only system partiton; would like to fix this, aiming to have the system as pure Ubuntu as possible 15:19 * questions about whether udev or ueventd should own the firmware loading 15:20 * Code review of lp:~jamesodhunt/upstart/serialise-remaining-objects 15:20 * discussions with PES about arm64 bring-up; we should be close now to being able to bring the emulated buildds online 15:20 * LPC travel sorted out 15:20 (done) 15:20 slangasek: [fx: anxious noises wanting to play with the emulator] 15:20 cjwatson: heh 15:20 phonedation? 15:20 submitted apport bug LP: #1185515 regaring duplicate signature for apport-package bugs 15:20 Launchpad bug 1185515 in apport (Ubuntu Raring) "SRU of updated apport-package duplicate signature calculation" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1185515 15:20 uploaded P, Q and R SRUs for bug 1185515 15:20 P, Q, R SRU verification of bug 1185515 15:20 created a tool for checking for error buckets for duplicates of a launchpad bug 15:20 investigation into errors bug 1186215 15:21 bug 1186215 in Errors "Timed out while loading subscriptions for most-common-problems" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1186215 15:21 doko: the Phone Foundations team, AKA fōndations 15:21 review of phased-updates report 15:21 submitted merge proposal for errors version table sorting issue 15:21 reported bug 1186376 regarding software-properties UI for phased updates options 15:21 bug 1186376 in software-properties (Ubuntu) "should support setting of whether or not to include phased updates" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1186376 15:21 searched for pyc corruption bugs with error message in DpkgTerminalLog (e.g. apport-package crashes) 15:21 doko: ogra's team. 15:21 research into bug LP: #1175637 15:21 Launchpad bug 1175637 in unattended-upgrades (Ubuntu) "Kernel updates are being marked as manually installed" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1175637 15:21 tested ubuntu-release-upgrader bug LP: #1181470 15:21 modified sru-review to reject packages too 15:21 emailed xubuntu-devel regarding update-notifier and auto-launch 15:21 removed update-notifier's support for choosing not to auto-launch applications 15:21 f 15:21 Launchpad bug 1181470 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) "deb-src repositories are not disabled for unknown distributions" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1181470 15:21 oops 15:21 merge, uploaded my changes to update-notifier that create and use upstart user sessions 15:21 slangasek: ditto on emulator anxiety. :P 15:21 patch piloting 15:21 was attempting to type fóndations to see if I prefer that spelling 15:21 ✔ done 15:21 * progressed with most merges (btrfs-tools left from important ones in 15:21 main, atm updating to merged btrfs-tools fails to boot) 15:21 * demoed U1 plugin ubiquity to design/U1 teams over google hangout a 15:21 few issues got raised that I'm filing bugs/fixing. Also 15:21 incompatability between sso/u1 was discovered, thus still no go 15:21 ahead to enable the plugin by default. 15:22 * helping out with automatic-raid preseeding case for UA/PES 15:22 * implemented ubiquity autopilot proof of concept, for QA team source 15:22 writing tests. 15:22 * reviewing upstart serialisation branch, raised a couple of questions 15:22 * boost1.49 demoted to universe & synced (thanks infinity) 15:22 * started looking into trimming gcc-android cross-toolchain (got rid 15:22 of java dependancy already, still to trim more & proposed patches to 15:22 doko) 15:22 * Generated PDFs of some raring sources & binaries, apparently a few 15:22 more needed. 15:22 done 15:22 infinity, cjwatson: so last I saw, vanhoof was having problems with the git checkout because he couldn't make git ignore ssl certificate verification hard enough. If either of you have access to calabash, maybe you could help 15:23 cjwatson: "fóndations": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhR4RZMWbxw 15:23 I tried, can't get to calabash 15:23 hahahahaha. Susan. 15:23 slangasek: ha 15:23 I, apparently, have access to calabash. 15:25 slangasek: You have more info on that you want to pass me out of band, or should I just poke vanhoof with "Steve said something cryptic involving calabash and WTFery"? 15:25 infinity: mail bounced 15:26 Ta. 15:26 any questions over the above statuseses? 15:26 infinity: do you happen to know if we've flipped that magic switch on ddebs? 15:27 I'm kind of on the wrong timezone to have regular chats with the launchpad folk 15:27 slangasek: my favourite so far http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzt2NLU3uSo&list=PLB4CCD4AB5BCBF4E3 15:27 ddeb magic switch == powerpc cross-retracers 15:27 you know you want them 15:27 jodh: :) 15:28 [TOPIC] Bugs 15:28 bdmurray: any course corrections for us? 15:28 slangasek: oops should have been http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6usx5vS238Y 15:28 jodh: oh, heh 15:29 I could use some help investigating bug 1175637 15:29 bug 1175637 in unattended-upgrades (Ubuntu) "Kernel updates are being marked as manually installed" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1175637 15:31 bdmurray: you did that on a precise system with all package-manager-related SRUs up to date? 15:31 (does unattended-upgrade use aptdaemon or not?) 15:32 hmm, it doesn't 15:32 ev: Not flipped yet, no. 15:32 but it is written to python-apt directly 15:32 rubbish 15:32 slangasek: yes regarding package manager SRUs 15:32 thanks though 15:33 ev: Don't make me get elmo in here to dude you. 15:33 bdmurray: so I think it's probably a straightforward matter of unattended-upgrades not calling the right api to mark packages as auto when pulling them in as new deps 15:33 not that I know what that api actually is 15:34 infinity: I'm so not complaining. 15:35 slangasek: okay 15:35 mark_install(from_user=False) I think? But check ... 15:36 ah, there's a single call to mark_install() in u-a, so that would be nice and convenient if so 15:36 bdmurray: is that enough to be going on with? 15:36 slangasek: yep, just need some more kernel updates ;-) 15:36 heh 15:36 or test in a chroot! 15:37 you can mark_auto() on single packages too but you probably don't want to 15:38 right 15:38 bdmurray: anything else? 15:39 slangasek: nope 15:39 okie 15:39 [TOPIC] Ubuntu Touch saucy dogfooding 15:40 so the Phonedations Team and Desktop Team are at the point where they're ready to finally flip all the Touch development to target saucy exclusively 15:40 (up to this point, some things have been stuck on raring ppas for $reasons) 15:41 please take some time to test those images out when they become available and help iterate them, so that we can assist in nailing down any regressions as quickly as possible 15:41 there are several more major shifts in the pipeline, of which this is only the first 15:41 I gather this morning's images were busted? 15:41 I haven't seen 15:41 cjwatson: well, there is a .1 as well already for today. 15:42 http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/20130605.1/ 15:42 not ubuntu-touch, though 15:42 I'm talking about http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled 15:42 ah, yes, the jenkins images 15:42 the /next/ major shift is to get our actual images really and truly built via cdimage infrastructure 15:43 which I believe will also come with the container flip (to boot to Ubuntu first and run Android in a container, instead of the other way around) 15:43 ok. 15:43 if you want to help with this, there's ongoing discussion in #ubuntu-touch about how to make this happen 15:44 15:44 [TOPIC] AOB 15:44 anything else? 15:45 are the containers flipped? 15:45 the spec looks like that's sort of happened, but I haven't updated yet 15:45 they are in the saucy images, when they boot 15:45 no 15:45 conflict! 15:46 stgraber: no, the container flip is separate from the move to saucy 15:46 there will be saucy images, still built in jenkins, ASAP 15:46 then on top of that, we still need to get the container flip done 15:46 I think stgraber means the ubuntu-touch/saucy images 15:47 yes - the images in /ubuntu-touch/ are still a work in progress; help is welcome, but those are separate from the daily images that everyone will be dogfooding right now 15:47 ah yeah, sorry for the confusion, I'm only looking at those from /ubuntu-touch 15:47 aren't the ubuntu-touch ones the ones I want? 15:47 this is confusing - I'm hoping we will be able to clearcut this confusion soon :) 15:47 ev: you probably want the ones that have been on the floor since their creation 15:48 er, /don't/ :) 15:48 ah, probably not :) 15:48 ev: ubuntu-touch-preview - these are the ones that are built in jenkins, are moving to saucy imminently, still have Android as the root, and phablet-tools will install them 15:49 ahhhh 15:49 ev: ubuntu-touch - these are still a work in progress, built on the livefs builders, will have Ubuntu as the root, and have bugs to be hammered out 15:49 right 15:50 thanks, that makes much more sense to me now 15:50 ok :) 15:52 * xnox vaguely wants to upgrade util-linux & include more namespace patches against shadow 15:52 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
