pittimdz: ^12:00
pittimdz: but I think since we don't have NMUs in Ubuntu, this scheme should not clash with regular uploads12:00
mdzpitti: this is not an easy question12:00
mdz-2ubuntu0 << -2woody1, for example12:01
mdzwhich is what the Debian security team would use12:01
pittimdz: right, but we don't use woody version numbers, do we?12:01
pittimdz: well, _if_ we update a woody version, then we need to think about a different scheme12:01
pitti-2woody1ubuntu0.112:01
=== pitti shakes
pittiwould be consistent, but ugly12:02
pittibut I think that won't happen very often12:02
=== lamont_r [~lamont@209-181-74-164.dnvr.qwest.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
pittimdz: okay, I uploaded glibc (#2743) and imagemagick (#2769)12:04
pittimdz: gee, we urgently need version (or at least distribution) tracking in our bts12:07
mdzpitti: you are learning the pain of security :-)12:07
=== lamont_r chuckles
pittimdz: I left the bug open for now (normal/target Hoary) until I upload them to hoary12:07
pittimdz: but I think I deal with Hoary when I fixed all other security bugs12:08
pittimdz: that okay for you?12:08
=== rjb [~arjaybe@207.102.22.2] has left #ubuntu-devel ["Kopete]
mdzpitti: yes12:10
mdzpitti: I highly recommend keeping your own todo list12:10
mdzseparate from bugzilla12:10
pittimdz: in any case12:10
mdzpitti: fortunately sarge sorts below ubuntu :-)12:11
pittimdz: and etch, too :-)12:11
mdzit should become part of our automated upgrade testing to ensure that this doesn't occur12:12
pittimdz: and at the time etch is actually released, I'm grandfather12:12
=== pitti hides
pittimdz: you mean it does not occur that our updates sort below the current Debian stable?12:12
mdzpitti: not only the current Debian stable, but anything that we support upgrades from12:12
mdzwoody->warty is a supported upgrade path12:13
mdzso warty must be > woody12:13
lamont_rmdz: I thought sarge would do 1.sarge...12:13
mdzI believe we checked at one point12:13
mdzand all of the packages in warty/main had higher version numbers than woody12:13
mdzwhich is fortunate12:13
lamont_rmdz: that won't always be true, you know...12:14
mdzlamont_r: right, but we should ensure that it is true at release time12:14
mdzuntil we fix this awful version number problem once and for all12:14
pittimdz: oh, gaim was missing12:15
pittimdz: according to my log, I already uploaded gaim to the security queue, but it is not yet in the security packages file12:16
lamont_rmdz: Just thinking of the case where sarge happens to release just before the grumpy upstream version freeze, or some such.. :-(12:16
pittimdz: I just checked all my logs, gaim is the only security upload I forgot about in above list12:17
mdzpitti: the security queue is different from the normal upload queue12:17
mdzpitti: packages do not automatically go into the archive via security12:17
mdzthey must be processed by hand12:17
pittimdz: yes, that's why I'm asking whether it is still present12:17
mdzgaim                        | 1:1.0.0-1ubuntu1.1    | source amd64 i386 powerpc     | 2 days old12:17
pittimdz: or whether I somehow forgot to actually upload12:17
pittiah, okay12:18
=== Ferry [~Ferry@cust.15.118.adsl.cistron.nl] has joined #ubuntu-devel
pittimdz: I prepared the first USN for gs-common, of course the package list is still missing.12:22
pittimdz: http://www.piware.de/usn-gs-common.txt , could you please have a short look? 12:22
mdzpitti: great12:22
mdzcertainly12:22
mdzpitti: the date should be right-justified12:22
mdzbut I think amber should do that for you now12:23
pittimdz: oh, amber also creates this template?12:23
pittimdz: I just copied the template from the website, where it is not justified at all12:23
pittimdz: fixed12:23
mdzpitti: yes, amber will give you a template to be filled in12:24
pittivery nice12:24
mdzthe website stuff is cut-and-waste from the emails I sent12:24
pittiI prepare the stuff for the other packages and send them out as soon as I get the amber mail12:24
pittiProbably not today any more, I'm exhausted and it's late12:25
pittiand libc6 will take a while to build (took 4 hours on my machine)12:25
elmopitti: 30 mins in the DC :)12:25
pittielmo: okay, okay, you have better machines to play with :-)12:26
jbaileypitti: How many passes is that?12:26
elmohmm, actually, it's 30 i386, 43 powerpc, 48 amd6412:26
pittijbailey: pardon?12:26
elmopitti: how many different versions of glibc do you build for giggles12:27
jbaileypitti: processor/thread combinations.  In Debian on ia32, we usually have 3 (386-linuxthreads, 386-nptl, 686-nptl)12:27
pittiI just tried it on my desktop (686)12:27
pittibut I thought debuild would build them all?12:28
jbailey4 hours just seems awful high.12:28
pittiI remember seeing much of the build log parts more than once12:28
elmojbailey: it's stock Debian source, so it'll be whatever debian does for 38612:28
elmos/stock/pretty-much \1/12:28
pittijbailey: I don't have the fastest machine, though :_)12:29
=== azeem once compiled glibc on 400 MHz notebook for Debian GNU/Hurd. It sucked.
mdzpitti: since we only upload source, it is important to test the binaries which are built by the buildds12:31
mdzat least one arch12:31
jbaileyazeem: Debian GNU/Hurd takes about 4 times as long in my experience.  I usually leave 3 hours on my 1.8ghz p4.12:31
pittimdz: that's why I compiled the stuff and tested it, and why it took so long until I actually asked for approval :-)12:31
jbailey(for linux)12:31
mdzpitti: hm?12:32
jdubyo jbailey 12:32
mdzpitti: the binaries built by the buildds12:32
azeemjbailey: it definetely wasn't 12 hours on my 1.8ghz p412:32
azeem(on Hurd)12:32
jbaileyg'morning Jeff. =)12:32
pittimdz: ah, I see12:32
azeemmore like 5 or 612:32
pittimdz: sorry, confused12:32
jbaileyazeem: We do 3 passes on i386, though.  On the Hurd we only do one.12:32

pittiGood night everybody!01:05
mdzpitti: wait01:07
pittimdz: still here01:07
mdzpitti: the amber mails will not arrive until I run amber01:07
mdzand the advisories should go out immediately after that01:07
mdzglibc does not seem to be built yet01:07
jdubdaniels: around?01:08
pittihmm, is there an approximate ETA?01:08
pittimdz: I can stay up for another hour, if necessary01:08
mdzpitti: elmo is making some adjustments to amber01:12
mdzpitti: which ones are you ready to send out?01:12
pittimdz: all but gaim01:12
pittimdz: I'm currently typing gaim01:12
mdzpitti: ok. I have tested gaim and it works fine; I can't test MSN but I see no regressions in AIM/jabber01:12
mdzpitti: which ones are the simple temporary file stuff?01:13
mdzgs-common, glibc, gettext....?01:13
pittimdz: gettext, glibc, gs-common, postgresql01:13

pittimdz: otherwise, bugtraq subscription is okay, all USNs are ready01:24
mdzpitti: the important thing is that it goes to ubuntu-security-announce and the webiste01:24
danielslifeless: i'll see how it holds up in hoary; if it's stable enough for what we're doing, great, enabled per default.  if not, it'll be disabled per default, and I'm not so sure I don't want a shiny-things button.01:24

mdzpitti: have you read the advisory guidelines I put in the wiki?01:25
pittimdz: not yet01:25
mdzpitti: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityNotification01:25
pittimdz: ah, I read this01:26
mdzpitti: for the temporary file vulnerabilities, the advisory should indicate with what privileges the overwriting takes place01:26
mdzif it is the privileges of a user invoking a program, or a system process, etc.01:26
mdzbecause this makes a big difference in the impact01:26
elmohmm, lamont has the buildds set to take too much01:26
pittimdz: hmm, I have to add this01:27
elmowell, maybe.. might not matter too much, even 10 packages isn't going take too long on average, and worst case will screw us even if we have less01:27
mdzpitti: let me know when you are ready for me to review the text01:27
mdzelmo: what are we going to do about getting new packages from sid into hoary/universe?01:28
mdz(rather than new versions)01:28
mdzor are you already doing that?01:28

jameshmaswan: but the second 4 slots could only be used if you plugged in two CPUs10:10
maswanjamesh: well, are those 8 slots in total or 8 slots per cpu?10:10
maswanah, yeah.10:10
jameshsince the memory controllers are on the CPUs10:10
maswanthat's the thing, the dl585 has 8 slots per cpu10:10
maswanhmm.. you should be able to get a p4/xeon board with 8 or perhaps even 16 slots and just populate that with 1 cpu.10:11
maswanI think. I haven't looked much at that though.10:11

sjoerdpitti: for something like that, yeah probably01:02
pittisjoerd: because it has wider use; e. g. libgphoto2 could use it, too01:02

pittisjoerd: okay; I can explain the whole mechanism in Ubuntu and ask for opinions01:03
sjoerdpitti: yeah would be nice01:03

Keybukit was ^M, but some editors "helpfully" strip that06:09
=== daniels stares at Keybuk.
ajKeybuk: it'd be possible to have "1:1.0~pre1" be translated to "1.0pre1" for user visible stuff, like filenames, directory names, dselect, etc. that'd make things like 1.0~1 suck, of course.06:10
Keybukaj: that's the other solution, yes.  fix dpkg-source06:10
Keybukthat's actually less sick than it sounds, because we already don't put the epoch and ':' in filenames06:11
ajapt does, but url escapes them06:11
Keybuktar gets somewhat upset when asked to do 'tar czf blah_1:1.0.orig.tar.gz blah-1:1.0'06:11
ajreally?06:11

Keybukyou've never encountered this before?! :p06:12
aji don't use colons in filenames :)06:12

seb128mdz: control-center crash fixed in 2.8.1-0ubuntu2 just uploaded09:26
mdzthanks09:27
Kamionmdz: lucky you backed out that perl-in-hotplug thing actually, otherwise trying to use it in d-i would be a total bust09:27
seb128np09:27
elmokamion: ah, yeah, damn, fair point09:28
KamionI suspect there'll be problems anyway, /etc/hotplug/*.rc uses a load of stuff that I bet isn't available in busybox09:29
Kamionelmo: since it needs to be available in both places, hardlinks/copies are probably the only option :(09:31
elmoyeah, but the whole point of pools was to avoid managing hardlink farms.  gar, sucks.09:31
Kamionyeah, I know :(09:31
Kamionmdz: hm, bright spark here has just realised that it might be kind of useful to have modules.pcimap available; hotplug does need that even in 2.6, right?09:33
Kamionmodules.*map I guess09:33

Kamionalthough only 63K compressed, I guess09:33
mdzI haven't figured out its algorithm yet, but it has a certain small tolerance built into it09:34
Kamionmaybe I can figure out a reduction algorithm; like, only include the lines that actually match modules available in d-i :-)09:35
Kamionthere is a problem with amd64: the boot messages are visible for about a tenth of a second :P09:37
mdzKamion: gzipping them wouldn't be a half bad idea, except that hotplug reads them about 80 BILLION TIMES09:37
Kamionmdz: don't care so much about uncompressed size for now, although the lowmem people will care09:38

Kamionah10:50
Kamionsorry, misinterpreted10:50
Kamiongrr. There's a delay between a module being loaded and the device node being visible, isn't there?10:51
Keybukelmo: see, now you have 203 files in the queue to get rid of as well as import my key <g>10:51
KeybukKamion: yeah, but usually not a huge one10:51
KamionKeybuk: is it predictable in any way?10:52
Keybukno more than a second or two10:52
KamionI don't want to insert random sleeps, that sucks10:52
KeybukKamion: no, it's basically just how long it takes for the stuff in /sys to appear10:52
Kamionis there any way to say "wait until everything's synced"?10:52
Keybukhotplug is full of "wait for file to appear" checks10:52
Kamionthat's really crap10:52
Keybukfor which?10:52
Keybukif you're doing a hotplug event, things will be synced at that point10:53
Keybuk(aiui)10:53
Kamionmodprobe fbcon -> wait for /dev/fb/0 to show up10:53
Kamionin a sane world you can expect it to be there from the point modprobe exits10:53
Kamionit's not good for the installer to sit around thinking for ages, especially since depending on the system (e.g. serial consoles) /dev/fb/0 might never appear10:54
Keybukthat'd mean it'd all have to happen in kernel space10:54
KamionI don't care how it's implemented :)10:54
KamionI just want a supposed upgrade not to be a regression10:54
Keybukwouldn't doing the modprobe populate something under /sys ?10:54
Kamionimmediately?10:55
Keybukno :p10:55
Kamionalso, sleeps are a totally obvious race condition10:55
Kamiond-i runs on some very slow hardware10:55
Keybukthe trouble is you're doing it backwards, really10:56
Kamionoh?10:57
Keybukyou're not supposed to load a module to find out if the hardware exists10:57
Keybukyou're supposed to load the module once you know the hardware exists10:57
Kamionis there a way to test for available framebuffer hardware, then?10:57
Kamionreliably?10:57
Keybuk(this obviously isn't quite finished yet, as things like ppp_generic/loop go phooey)10:58
Keybukwell, the graphics card's pci id will map to the appropriate frame buffer10:58
