For FF we can at least focus on getting stuff into proposed. 16:07 looks like we also have an ada regression in z-p :/ 16:07 What's not in proposed but needs to be? 16:07 rbasak: nothing on my side 16:08 that i know of (other than my curtin changes...) 16:08 how about the discussion on postgres-9.6 that has to go OUT of proposed for this cycle? 16:08 My Firefox has hung trying to load the excuses page :-/ 16:08 * rbasak now can't see the agenda. 16:08 rbasak, wrt to nspr -> its blocked on the dogtag-pki/tomcat failures like a half a dozen other packages 16:09 but its in proposed 16:09 cpaelzer: we can presumably leave it in -proposed, right? it just won't migrate unti 17.04 16:09 s/17.04/17.10/ 16:09 I see we have a ton of MIRs blocked. 16:09 python-boto also merged and in proposed, but failing autopkgtests (but those failures have been around before my merge) something to still sort out 16:09 nacc: we can leve it, but there are dependent builds and none of them will migtrate 16:09 nacc: I can't decide if that is ok as well 16:09 #info Various feature freeze sensitive uploads are stuck in proposed. 16:10 nacc: that is why I assumed it might be required to drop it there 16:10 #info Various things are blocked on MIRs that are pending review. 16:10 jgrimm: do you have a list of your assigned items that aren't in proposed yet? 16:11 jgrimm: I see iproute2, nspr (for which you've answered), openvpn 16:11 I would like to discuss shortly on the MIRs once we are over the "in proposed" topic 16:11 iproute is the only one not merged, but there is MR awaiting your review 16:11 cpaelzer: ack 16:11 OK 16:11 and openvpn which is in nacc's review queue 16:11 #action rbasak to review jgrimm's iproute2 MR 16:11 * meetingology rbasak to review jgrimm's iproute2 MR 16:11 #action nacc to review jgrimm's openvpn MR 16:11 * meetingology nacc to review jgrimm's openvpn MR 16:12 thank you 16:12 cpaelzer: yeah, we should review what all hits it 16:12 cpaelzer: we'll need an AA to help if so (and to blacklist it for now, iiuc) 16:12 It looks like memcached is merged? 16:12 nacc: ack 16:12 rbasak, i think sitting in excuses tho. :/ 16:13 memcached has made it to the release pocket. 16:13 oh yay! that's new to me 16:14 I'll update the blueprint (later) to note what is in proposed, so we know. 16:14 rbasak: can you add etckeeper to your list of MR to review? 16:14 rbasak, i plan to review server packages today for anything new (or missed) that needs handled 16:14 Great, thanks. 16:14 rbasak: feel free to reassign some of those to me 16:14 #action rbasak to review caribou's nut merge 16:14 * meetingology rbasak to review caribou's nut merge 16:15 #action rbasak to review powersj's etckeeper merge 16:15 * meetingology rbasak to review powersj's etckeeper merge 16:15 thx 16:15 #action jgrimm to review server packages for anything new (or missed) that needs merging 16:15 * meetingology jgrimm to review server packages for anything new (or missed) that needs merging 16:15 thanks! 16:15 jgrimm: also python-boto? 16:16 i'm going to spend some time today trawling -proposed as well, trying to get a story for as mucch that is stuck as possible 16:16 And nginx. 16:16 teward: --^ 16:16 teward: how's the nginx merge going? 16:16 rbasak, in -proposed, autopkgtest failure <- nacc if interested 16:16 nacc: thanks 16:16 OK 16:16 i believe teward was working on it yestreday, but also has other priorities right now (school) 16:16 That's everything I see on the blueprint that is FF-critical. 16:16 (per ubuntu-server IRC yeserday) 16:17 OK 16:17 MIRs ? 16:17 #subtopic Pending MIRs 16:17 I just checked iotop & nicstat is actually DONE 16:17 are 16:17 yeah just need to be added to seed though I believe 16:17 but htop and python-elftools wait on security review. 16:17 For the latter I unblocked DPDK by keeping the delta that drops the dependency to a suggest - Debian was so kind to accept that now 16:17 Great, thanks! 16:17 #info iotop and nicstat are done 16:17 #info htop and python-elftools wait on security review 16:18 To get sssd merged I dropped the "secrets service" due to a component mismatch, and left a work item there. 16:18 rbasak: powersj will need some help with seeding iotop & nicstat 16:18 That's also blocked on a MIR. I don't know whether to drop that in after FF, or next cycle. 16:19 It seems relatively safe since it'll be a new feature. 16:19 #action rbasak to look at seeding iotop & nicstat with powersj 16:19 * meetingology rbasak to look at seeding iotop & nicstat with powersj 16:19 thanks 16:19 Anything else on MIRs? 16:19 #info sssd is missing the "secrets service", a new feature resulting in a component mismatch. This may be able to land in an FFe, or next cycle. 16:20 #subtopic Active work that may need wider communication 16:20 Anything to mention? Seems we're all busy with merges. 16:20 #info None 16:21 #topic Server & Cloud Bugs & SRU/Pending Uploads (caribou) 16:21 shoot i'm late 16:21 (we'll catch up on nginx at "AOB") 16:21 teward: sure, thanks. 16:21 caribou: around? 16:21 Let's circle back if caribou appears 16:21 #topic Weekly Updates & Questions for the QA Team (powersj) 16:21 powersj: o/ 16:21 Last week was very productive curtin/cloud-init sprint. Got some new testing going and running for curtin and learned to do merges with jgrimm. 16:22 This week working on ISO testing and getting some zesty tests (raid1, lvm, multi-lvm) going again. Completed some overdue bug triage and will be picking up bugs for the release. Finally, some work on the KVM backend for cloud-init integration testing. 16:22 questions? comments? 16:22 Thanks! Any questions for powersj? 16:22 thanks! 16:22 I keep doing that! 16:22 #topic Weekly Updates & Questions for the Kernel Team (smb, sforshee) 16:23 Right now, nothing new to report kernel-wise. Side note that the bundle of xen-libvirt-qemu for zesty did finally move out of proposed yesterday. Are there questions? 16:23 great! 16:23 Thanks smb! 16:23 #info Nothing new to report kernel-wise 16:23 #info The bundle of xen-libvirt-qemu for zesty did finally move out of proposed yesterday. 16:24 #topic Ubuntu Server Team Events 16:24 Anything worth mentioning? 16:24 #info None of note. 16:24 #topic Development Release 16:24 #subtopic nginx 16:24 teward: o/ 16:24 Hello again! 16:25 Firstly, nginx 1.10.3 (not a merge) was uploaded a couple days ago 16:25 due to some pretty evil/nasty HTTP/2 things that got fixed 16:25 (SRUs pending review for Xenial and Yakkety, also) 16:25 Great. Thanks for that! 16:25 as for the merge, I'm working on it, but it's not as easy as a straight merge 16:25 basically, rebuilding the delta we added for 14.04 into pure-Debian packages. 16:25 teward: how do you feel this is going in relation to feature freeze? 16:26 rbasak: when's feature freeze again? 16:26 two days away, iirc 16:26 Thursday. 16:26 (16.2.17) 16:26 rbasak: unlikely, at this rate, given the time it took to fix the evils of the fPIE/fPIC thing 16:26 teward: do you feel an FFe is appropriate? Or should we skip to next cycle? 16:26 and that *still* crops up in the updated 3rd-party modules somehow, working on fixing that (I think it's Ubuntu-specific) 16:27 rbasak: FFe would probably be appropriate, I'd like to get dynamic module support in 16:27 #info nginx 1.10.3 (not a merge) was uploaded a couple days ago, due to some pretty evil/nasty HTTP/2 things that got fixed 16:27 rbasak: I'll have a build-test of the merge probably by EOD tomorrow (which is 22:00 UTC-5) 16:28 #info A merge is more involved that usual; we think an FFe may be appropriate to get dynamic module support in 16:28 #info We hope to have a build-test of the merge probably by EOD tomorrow (22:00 UTC-5) 16:28 if that doesn't blow up in my face, it'll get a few reviews by me to compare against existing deltas, and then made available. Though, the Release team and archive admins will have to move some things to Main 16:28 and some to Universe 16:28 teward: great. Thanks! If we have a candidate ready, I think that'll give the release team more confidence in granting an FFe, so that's very helpful./ 16:28 (since some dynamic modules are in nginx-core) 16:29 teward: thank you for the update, and as ever for all your work on this. 16:29 rbasak: half the work is done, NGINX PPAs confirm that some of the things work fine, the existing 'merge' delta is introducing something maybe and breaking things, working on that tomorrow (today's a busyiish day) 16:29 rbasak: no problem. 16:29 Anything else on nginx? 16:29 OH tidbit for triagers and team members: 16:29 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/NGINX now exists 16:29 details some things about nginx, and special bug triage cases 16:29 ^^ +1 16:30 powersj got a note about it directly, then I went ahead and documented special Triage cases for bugs and how to handle those types of bug reports. 16:30 teward, very nice! 16:30 #info see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/NGINX for packaging details and bug triaging information on the nginx package in Ubuntu 16:30 I really like that page. We should have one for every package :-) 16:30 There's a corresponding link in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Triage to the special-case for the nginx package, so it's general knowledge for bug squad as well. 16:30 outside of those special cases, triage as normal. 16:30 cpaelzer, something like that would be nice for qemu and include git repo and special handling etc 16:30 Good job linking the wiki together! 16:31 16:31 rbasak: thank you! 16:31 Thanks teward! 16:31 jgrimm: I actually have that on the migration types already, will extend to general handling - good idea 16:31 caribou: are you in now? 16:31 I guess not, so... 16:31 #topic Open Discussion 16:31 AOB? 16:31 cpaelzer, excellent! 16:32 worth mentioning that 16.04.2 is late..targetting this thursday now 16:32 #info 16.04.2 is late..targetting this thursday now 16:32 Mentioned! :-) 16:32 :) 16:32 rbasak: only if we can add things to the lxc tools, I wrote a custom bootstrapper and a "shut off *and* destroy" wrapper script around existing functions. I got annoyed at `lxc-destroy` not stopping a container, and `lxc-create` being annoying to bootstrap a server in userspace. 16:32 s/bootstrap/customize and configure/ 16:33 teward: I don't think there's any plan to change the old lxc command interfaces now. 16:33 still in development, but usable :p 16:33 indeed. 16:33 teward: but lxd does that with "lxc delete -f " 16:33 rbasak: LXD wouldn't work on my 16.04 system... not sure why. 16:33 just saying, still investigating. 16:33 now i'm done :) 16:33 OK 16:33 #topic Announce next meeting date, time and chair 16:33 rharper: will you be available to chair next week? 16:33 sure 16:33 Great. Thanks! 16:34 rbasak: I won't be at next meeting unfortunately 16:34 travel 16:34 thanks rbasak for leading this so controlled 16:34 #info The next meeting will be at Tue 21 Feb 16:00:00 UTC 2017. rharper will chair. 16:34 feel free to email me for a status update by Friday evening 16:34 teward: ack. 16:34 anyone may do that ^ 16:34 #endmeeting
