dholbachjani: those are for the malone/launchpad crew, i'm not sure when it will hit us other guys09:03
janidholbach, thanks09:03
chmjhi ajmitch_09:03
\shoh malone...is it working again?09:04
dholbachok... can we get cracking?09:04
dholbachdoko just finished briefing us about our next big target: UniverseCxxTransition09:04
dholbachyou will find the rationale for all this well described on https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/BreezyToolchainTransition09:05
dholbachmaybe we should all dive into it for some seconds :-)09:05
=== ogra points to #ubuntu-toolchain for toolchain specific questions after this meeting.....
dholbachespecially the points after "C++ ABI Transition" are of big importance for all of us09:06
=== koke [~koke@adsl229-164.unizar.es] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
=== herve [~hcauwelie@ip-3.net-81-220-179.nice.rev.numericable.fr] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
dholbachin short: as the C++ ABI with g++4.0 will break we will have to recompile ALL c++ packages09:07
dholbachunfortunately just recompiling wont suffice09:07
ajmitch_which means finding any package that uses c++09:07
dholbachdoko did a lot of work on this already: CxxLibraryList09:07
ograwhich means we have to do it bottom up...09:07
dholbach... will be our first taget09:07
=== Danten [~danten@h40n8c1o1049.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
dholbachthe attack plan is something like this:09:08
dholbach1) freeze c++ applications from uploads09:08
siretartajmitch_: these should be able to identify by looking at the reverse dependencies of libstdc++609:08
dholbach2) fix libraries09:08
dholbach3) fix applications using c++ 09:08
ograuploads of apps that use c++ will be rejected until the libs are all built09:08
ajmitch_siretart: sadly, that doesn't find them all09:08
siretartmostly ;)09:08
ograajmitch_, you dont have to care for the apps yet09:09
dholbachif you have a look at https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/CxxLibraryList and https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/CxxApplicationList you will see nice lists of them09:09
chmjthat means the libs must be done quickly, I suppose 09:09
=== jabra [~jabra@polish.ccs.neu.edu] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ograjust have a look at every app you upload and drop the upload if its c++09:09
dholbachwe will do a nice and clean job, but the sooner the better09:09
ograchmj, right09:09
ajmitch_shouldn't take much more than a week ;)09:10
dholbachnow: what we will have to do is: applying patches, if stuff doesnt build - gladly debian provided us with loads of patches for that09:10
ograwe agreed with doko to start on Tuesday with the transition09:10
chmjUTC ?  09:10
dholbachand changing the library package name09:10
dholbachthe binary package, not the source package09:10
=== jabra [~jabra@polish.ccs.neu.edu] has left #ubuntu-meeting []
dholbachas you can see on BreezyToolchainTransition we will add a "c2"09:11
\shi see a lot of qt and kde stuff09:11
ograchmj, we didnt agree on a time, heh09:11
ogra\sh, yep... 09:11
Riddell\sh: that'll be the C++ :)09:11
dholbach\sh: this is where Riddell steps in09:11
=== seb128 [~seb128@ANancy-151-1-30-146.w83-196.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
dokochmj: we'll post the exact date09:11
\shas i heard on kde rumors ;) are telling that gcc 4 is in the moment a "nono"09:12
dokoand time ...09:12
ajmitch_hello seb09:12
seb128hi09:12
\shRiddell: am i right?09:12
minghuadholbach: or remove c102 if it exists :-)09:12
ogra\sh, for 3.4 ?09:12
seb128meetings marathon? :)09:12
dholbachminghua: exactly09:12
Riddell\sh: I'm reliably told that we have a cvs version of gcc which inclues the fix for the KDE problems09:12
\shogra: 4.x is far away ;09:12
dholbachyou can read the "naming conventions" on BreezyToolchainTransition09:12
\shRiddell: sounds great09:13
dholbachwe will start on CxxLibraryList and the implementation plan can be found on top09:13
dholbach1) mark the package in the list with your name09:13
ograif you find omething you dont understand, feel free to ask us, we will point you kindly to doko then ;)09:13
dokoRiddell: the upstream changelogs are included in the gcc binaries as well, so you can search for the bug number09:13
dholbach2) look for patches in either bugzilla.ubuntu.com (for main) or on UniverseCxxTransition for universe09:13
dokoogra sees a flying toaster ...09:13
ograheh09:14
=== siretart is a bit confused. Will the default be gcc-3.4 or gcc-4.0?
ajmitch_4.009:14
=== ogra ducks
dholbach3) For each library (for universe as well), create a bug report at http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/, the subject/title must start with [CXX transition]  <source name>09:14
ograsiretart, 409:14
siretartok09:14
dholbachand 4) attach the debdiff09:14
ogradholbach, do we write that down anywhere =09:14
ogra?09:14
dholbachogra: what exactly?09:15
ograyour four points09:15
ajmitch_ogra: all on the CxxLibraryList  page09:15
ograoh09:15
dholbachyeah09:15
=== ogra blushes....
dholbachwe won't have to change the build-depends (generally)09:15
ogratables are to fascinating to me....09:15
dholbachsince dpkg-shlideps will work it out for us09:15
dholbachany questions?09:16
\shhmmm...09:16
ajmitch_when will the compiler be switched?09:16
\shmissing packages? 09:16
\shshould we put them directly on https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/CxxLibraryList09:16
ograajmitch_, it already is09:16
\sh?09:16
dholbachajmitch_: we will start on tuesday09:17
ogra\sh, sure... and note it in the comment09:17
ajmitch_ok09:17
chmjajmitch_, its switched already 09:17
dholbacheverybody has to be sure to have build-essential of version 11 installed09:17
siretartare there any special actions planned for java apps?09:17
=== ajmitch_ must have missed the switch..
minghuadholbach: I have a question about how the CxxLibraryList is made09:17
dokoajmitch_: and all the details on the BreezyToolchainTransition page09:17
minghuadholbach: I am looking at my (Debian) package scim, and see that scim-gtk2-immodule is listed09:17
dholbachminghua: ask doko09:17
ogradoko ? do we bug you or jbailey for java ?09:18
minghuadholbach: okay09:18
dokoheh, jbailey should be fine :)09:18
ograok09:18
Nafallodholbach: version 11 is to be found where?09:18
dholbach\sh: what do you mean by missing packages?09:18
=== ajmitch_ enjoys bugging jbailey :)
chmjogra, carefull, he don't like java 09:18
ograNafallo, in breezy ?09:18
\shdholbach: like python-sip python-qt and stuff :)09:18
dholbachNafallo, ogra: will be uploaded by then09:19
ograchmj, _wo_ likes it ? 09:19
minghuadoko: scim-gtk2-immodule only contains gtk2 dynamic loaded module in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules, why is it on CxxLibraryList?09:19
ograwho even09:19
Nafallodholbach: oki :-)09:19

jvw(has this meeting an agenda?)10:11
ograkiko, i'm capable to track bugs... and to fix thm i guess10:11
kikoessentially, we'd like to start a community QA process on our bugzilla10:11
ograbugzilla ? or malone ?10:11
kikothere are a couple of problems we are facing10:11
kikobugzilla for now.10:11
mdzjvw: <kiko> essentially, we'd like to start a community QA process on our bugzilla10:11
ograoh10:11
kikothis is short-term stuff10:11
ograok10:12
mdzthe idea is to involve a much larger group of people in helping out with bugs10:12

kikofirst, UNCONFIRMED reports are going upwards (since we introduced them a while back)10:13

kikodarn.10:13
kikoone sec.10:13
kikoanyway, as I was saying, we'd like to get more people involved in triaging bugs, with the goal of:10:13
kiko  - reducing the number of UNCONFIRMED (marking stuff as resolved, upstream, needinfo, etc)10:14
kiko  - identifying low-hanging fruit as good community contributions10:14
dholbachkiko: your link would be   http://tinyurl.com/da494   if you wanted us to have a look10:14
kiko  - weeding out the tough issues and bringing them to the lead developer's attentions when necessary10:15
kikothanks10:15
jvw(it's password-protected :( )10:15
mdzit's clear from a report on resolution that a huge number of the bugs that we receive don't actually require any developer action10:15
dholbachjvw: you have to log in10:15
ograkiko, so like a first, second and third level suppport...10:15
ograstaging...10:16
kikoogra, well, to start off with, community first-level, us second-level. but yes.10:16
mdzof 7397 resolved bugs, only 3621 were resolved FIXED.  most of the rest ended up being INVALID, NOTABUG, NOTWARTY and WORKSFORME10:16
dholbachi like the  LOWHANGINGFRUIT  idea10:16
dholbachand UNIVERSE :-)10:16
kikodholbach, I do too, just don't ask me to add a status for it :)10:16
mdzyes, and UNIVERSE10:16
mdzso if we can get the community involved in walking over the UNCONFIRMED bugs10:16
kikomdz, dholbach: we can probably use keywords there.10:16
seb1283944 bugs, how come than we have #10000 ?10:16
mdzand clearing away the chaff10:16
mdzthen the development team can focus on real bugs10:16
kikoright.10:16
mdzwhich should move to NEW10:16
kikomdz, you got mail, did you see that?10:17
dholbachi want to start a GNOME team with seb128 and have bug triaging in the manifest10:17
mdzkiko: no, no mail yet10:17
kikomdz, ogra: so my proposal is that we start by doing weekly bugdays on #ubuntu and #ubuntu-devel10:17
seb128and we need a mailing list for the bugs10:17
kikomdz, May 11 16:58:35 anthem sm-mta[26967] : j4BJwQxn026965: to=<mdz@canonical.com>, ctladdr=<kiko@async.com.br> (5107/1004), delay=00:00:08, xdelay=00:00:08, mailer=relay, pri=120323, relay=frodo.hserus.net. [204.74.68.40] , dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (OK id=1DVxLl-000EMv-HR)10:17
ograkiko, sounds great10:17
dholbachseb128: exactly, like ubuntu-gnome-bugs@10:17
kikoa bugday is a publicized event that invites community people to trawl through bugzilla10:18
mdzkiko: Subject: ?10:18
ogralike louis does them 10:18
kikoogra, dholbach: we can give away selected merchandise every week to the top resolver.10:18
=== seb128 wants merchandises :p
ograyay, thats great10:18
dholbachsounds awesome10:19
luis_probably top /new/ resolver10:19
seb128:(10:19
mdzluis_: you mean UNCONFIRMED, right?10:19
luis_you'll get some addictive types who will close hundreds every week :)10:19
kikoluis_, well, the criteria would need to be specified better. this is my proposal.10:19
luis_mdz: I mean, in terms of giving out goodies, you'd want to make sure it doesn't go to the same guy every week10:19
ograseb128, find some straw MOTUs for that ;)10:19
mdzluis_: oh10:19
seb128luis_: don't look at me while saying that :)10:19
luis_sure, I'm just nitpicking, sorry, I'll go back to lurking- you guys seem to so far be saying things very similar to what I'd be saying :)10:19
mdzluis_: if someone wanst to consistently work hard on bugs, shouldn't we encourage that?10:20
luis_mdz: oh, you should10:20
kikowe should10:20
dholbachi think we shouldnt focus on the merchandise :-)10:20
luis_right10:20
luis_don't rathole, I can email you my more detailed rationale later10:20
luis_s/don't/we shouldn't/10:20
Amaranthgiving rewards is the _worst_ thing you can do10:20
ogradholbach, we should, its encouraging10:20
dholbach#ubuntu-love started as such a project, but is horribly unmaintained10:21
mdzoh wow, my bogofilter is all out of whack10:21
=== jdthood [~jdthood@aglu.demon.nl] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ografix this bug to get a t-shirt10:21
dholbachogra: not in the meeting atm10:21
Amaranthyou'll get lots of people to try a little or try once but if they don't win they won't do it again10:21
dholbachi like the idea though10:21
seb128we need a http://bugzilla.gnome.org/reports/weekly-bug-summary.html like10:21
\shwell...after dealing with gentoos bug-wranglers, it sounds really great to encourage community work. but who will check the results?10:21
Amaranthand if they do win they'll want another reward to do it again10:21
kikoAmaranth, that's not my experience.10:21
dholbachseb128: looks great10:22
ogra\sh, if we have 1st 2nd and 3rd level, that would be the next higher level who has to check10:22
seb128dholbach: I like this stuff, and that's sane emulation :)10:22
kikomdz, something like "no more mr. nice guy"10:22
=== Amaranth spots seb128 as #2 bug reporter
Amaranth*cough*10:23
dholbachdo we want to use UbuntuLove for all this?10:23
\shogra: so you mean, 1st level (the lowest community level) will resolve a bug (or he thinks he does), 2nd level check the patch or workaround, and 3rd level will approve?10:23
kikoubuntuLove?10:23
seb128dholbach: I don't think so10:23
dholbachthe idea behind it was similar to GnomeLove10:23
ogra\sh, nope, in this case 2nd should approve too10:23
dholbachmailing lists, irc channel and gnome-love-days to gather all the willing folks together10:24
ogra\sh, keep away as much as you can from 1st 10:24
seb128dholbach: if we have people to handle both event, I would keep separete ones10:24
dholbachthe problem is: we have no people10:24
ogra\sh, at least that was my directive at ish GmbH in the testbed, worked quite well10:24
dholbach#ubuntu-love is in lurking mode and there was only one day yet10:25
kikoogra, dholbach: so plan of action would be: 0) accept the task of running these bugdays a) decide on weekly bugday b) write up the announcement c) decide where to post the announcement d) decide on criteria/if for prizes 10:25
kikoperhaps also decide what sort of guidance we want to give people10:25
kikobasically10:25
ograkiko, ok, no problem10:25
kikowe want newbies to look at unconfirmed10:25
kikoget a little bugbot IRC bot10:25
\shogra: well...u see right now, that @NOC ;) it is not working..2nd level has to deal with 1st level support, just because the tools are not ready :(10:25
seb128dunno if that's the same topic, be we need some mailing list for bug specific to teams (gnome-bugs, xfce-bugs, ...)10:25
ogra\sh, i talked about the depatment i led ;) not the NOC10:26
kikoseb128, it's not.10:26
\shogra: i'm talking about the real world ,-)10:26
seb128kiko: k10:26
kikoogra, when do you want to do them?10:26
ogra\sh, its a thing of the rikght organization10:26
\shogra: lets find a solution for ubuntu and forget about ish ;) 10:26
dholbachweekly sounds good to me10:27
kikodholbach, ogra: on what day?10:27
dholbachalthough we have to have people around which will guide them10:27
dholbachs/although//10:27
kikoyeah.10:27
ograkiko, hmm... a fixed date in the week... dunno, i'll check at #ubuntu-motu to make sure to have some 2nd level people around10:27
\shsaturday to sunday night ;) always good 10:27
kikonot a weekday?10:27
ogra\sh, weekdays please10:27
dholbachwe want to have full-timezone-coverage :-)10:28
=== ogra tends to wednesday...
dholbachfine with me10:28
ograa bugday should be 24h ;)10:28
kikofull timezone coverage is kinda crazy for the organizers.10:28
dholbachogra: sissy :-)10:28
seb128weekday? hum...10:28
kikoI don't think ogra and dholbach can manage the 24h10:28
\shand this is another matter ;)10:28
kikois there anyone in .au to cover for you guys?10:28
seb128not easy to get people doing bug triage during their working time10:28
dholbachkiko: MOTUs are in all the timezones :-)10:29
dholbach.nz10:29
ograkiko, .nz10:29
kikowho would that be?10:29
dholbachajmitch10:29
ograajmitch10:29
kikodoes he know bugzilla?10:29
ograi think so10:29
kikookay10:29
dholbachah... he went to bed :-)10:29
ograyep10:29
kikoogra, dholbach: can you ping motu people, decide on a day and get back to me before friday so we can book a meeting to resolve the remaining issues?10:29
ograto many meetings today :)10:30
dholbachkiko: absolutely10:30
kikothis meeting would discuss specifics10:30
ograkiko, sure10:30
\shdid u already established teams for the diff. projects?10:30
kiko\sh?10:30
dholbach\sh: not yet, it will be a long-term goal10:30
dholbachTEAMS! :-)10:30
ogra\sh, not more then we already have10:30
dholbachand those consist of 1-3 people each :-)10:30
ogra\sh, first we need ppl10:31
\shwell, i don't know if you're familiar with gentoo herds 10:31
ogra\sh, GO RECRUITING MAN !!10:31
\shogra: let me explain please10:31
dholbach\sh: fire away10:31
ogra\sh, yay10:31
ogrago on10:31
kikoogra, dholbach, mdz, seb128: any other thoughts?10:31
kikootherwise we can move on and I'll wait for your feedback10:31
\shok gentoo is organized this way: bug is coming in...there is a group of "bug-wranglers" who will move the bugs to the special group (aka herd) lets say for gnome or kde10:31
ograkiko, not yet, sounds fine so far10:31
kikookay.10:32
\shso...every project like kde, gnome, ubuntuserver etc. pp. are teams and have to work on those bugs10:32
ograkiko, thats a thing with a internal evolution anyway, you cant spec out everything here10:32
\shproblem is, as it states out here, the recruitement10:32
mdzkiko: no, but my attention is divided10:33
ogra\sh, correct10:33
seb128\sh: the group is not an issue, every package has a QA contact10:33
\shworking ppl are missing and it's hard to cover this10:33
ogra\sh, so we currently have to care for everything, like we do anyway...10:33
\shseb128: thats right, but most of the time it's individual10:33
dholbachkiko: i think you can move on10:34
ogra\sh, but we already have a team.... its just not divided yet...the more people we have the more it will spilt up...10:34
seb128\sh: that doesn't matter, you can set the QA to a mailing list10:35
ograbut facing reality, the team thing is a longterm shot10:35
kikothanks10:35
\shseb128: this we should do :)10:35
ograkiko, thanks for the meeting :)10:35
seb128\sh: that was I was saying before and that's what is planned10:35
kikothanks to you guys10:35
