[09:07] ... will be our first taget === Danten [~danten@h40n8c1o1049.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [09:08] the attack plan is something like this: [09:08] 1) freeze c++ applications from uploads [09:08] ajmitch_: these should be able to identify by looking at the reverse dependencies of libstdc++6 [09:08] 2) fix libraries [09:08] 3) fix applications using c++ [09:08] uploads of apps that use c++ will be rejected until the libs are all built [09:08] siretart: sadly, that doesn't find them all [09:08] mostly ;) [09:09] ajmitch_, you dont have to care for the apps yet [09:09] if you have a look at https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/CxxLibraryList and https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/CxxApplicationList you will see nice lists of them [09:09] that means the libs must be done quickly, I suppose === jabra [~jabra@polish.ccs.neu.edu] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [09:09] just have a look at every app you upload and drop the upload if its c++ [09:09] we will do a nice and clean job, but the sooner the better [09:09] chmj, right [09:10] shouldn't take much more than a week ;) [09:10] now: what we will have to do is: applying patches, if stuff doesnt build - gladly debian provided us with loads of patches for that [09:10] we agreed with doko to start on Tuesday with the transition [09:10] UTC ? [09:10] and changing the library package name [09:10] the binary package, not the source package === jabra [~jabra@polish.ccs.neu.edu] has left #ubuntu-meeting [] [09:11] as you can see on BreezyToolchainTransition we will add a "c2" [09:11] <\sh> i see a lot of qt and kde stuff [09:11] chmj, we didnt agree on a time, heh [09:11] \sh, yep...

[09:12] meetings marathon? :) [09:12] minghua: exactly [09:12] \sh: I'm reliably told that we have a cvs version of gcc which inclues the fix for the KDE problems [09:12] <\sh> ogra: 4.x is far away ; [09:12] you can read the "naming conventions" on BreezyToolchainTransition [09:13] <\sh> Riddell: sounds great [09:13] we will start on CxxLibraryList and the implementation plan can be found on top [09:13] 1) mark the package in the list with your name [09:13] if you find omething you dont understand, feel free to ask us, we will point you kindly to doko then ;) [09:13] Riddell: the upstream changelogs are included in the gcc binaries as well, so you can search for the bug number [09:13] 2) look for patches in either bugzilla.ubuntu.com (for main) or on UniverseCxxTransition for universe [09:13] ogra sees a flying toaster ... [09:14] heh === siretart is a bit confused. Will the default be gcc-3.4 or gcc-4.0? [09:14] 4.0 === ogra ducks [09:14] 3) For each library (for universe as well), create a bug report at http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/, the subject/title must start with [CXX transition] [09:14] siretart, 4 [09:14] ok [09:14] and 4) attach the debdiff [09:14] dholbach, do we write that down anywhere = [09:14] ? [09:15] ogra: what exactly? [09:15] your four points [09:15] ogra: all on the CxxLibraryList page [09:15] oh [09:15] yeah === ogra blushes.... [09:15] we won't have to change the build-depends (generally) [09:15] tables are to fascinating to me.... [09:15] since dpkg-shlideps will work it out for us [09:16] any questions? [09:16] <\sh> hmmm... [09:16] when will the compiler be switched? [09:16] <\sh> missing packages? [09:16] <\sh> should we put them directly on https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/CxxLibraryList [09:16] ajmitch_, it already is [09:16] <\sh> ? [09:17] ajmitch_: we will start on tuesday [09:17] \sh, sure... and note it in the comment [09:17] ok [09:17] ajmitch_, its switched already [09:17] everybody has to be sure to have build-essential of version 11 installed [09:17] are there any special actions planned for java apps? === ajmitch_ must have missed the switch.. [09:17] dholbach: I have a question about how the CxxLibraryList is made [09:17] ajmitch_: and all the details on the BreezyToolchainTransition page [09:17] dholbach: I am looking at my (Debian) package scim, and see that scim-gtk2-immodule is listed [09:17] minghua: ask doko [09:18] doko ? do we bug you or jbailey for java ? [09:18] dholbach: okay [09:18] heh, jbailey should be fine :) [09:18] ok [09:18] dholbach: version 11 is to be found where? [09:18] \sh: what do you mean by missing packages? === ajmitch_ enjoys bugging jbailey :) [09:18] ogra, carefull, he don't like java [09:18] Nafallo, in breezy ?

[09:19] doko: 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] who even [09:19] dholbach: oki :-) [09:19] sun, microsystems :p [09:19] ogra: 10.1ubuntu1 atm :-) [09:19] heh [09:19] Nafallo: wait, I'll upload test packages [09:19] we also have #ubuntu-java [09:19] doko: oki :-) [09:19] dholbach, build-essential=11 installed locally?

[10:11] jvw: essentially, we'd like to start a community QA process on our bugzilla [10:11] oh [10:11] this is short-term stuff [10:12] ok [10:12] the idea is to involve a much larger group of people in helping out with bugs === \sh [~shermann@server3.servereyes.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [10:12] as the MOTU === Amaranth [~travis@amaranth.user] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [10:13] first, UNCONFIRMED reports are going upwards (since we introduced them a while back) [10:13] https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/report.cgi?x_axis_field=bug_status&y_axis_field=product&z_axis_field=&query_format=report-table&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&product=Ubuntu&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&resolution=DUPLICATE&resolution=---&emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=substring&email1 [10:13] =&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailqa_contact2=1&emailcc2=1&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&format=table&action=wrap&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0= [10:13] darn. [10:13] one sec. [10:13] anyway, as I was saying, we'd like to get more people involved in triaging bugs, with the goal of: [10:14] - reducing the number of UNCONFIRMED (marking stuff as resolved, upstream, needinfo, etc) [10:14] - identifying low-hanging fruit as good community contributions [10:14] kiko: your link would be http://tinyurl.com/da494 if you wanted us to have a look [10:15] - weeding out the tough issues and bringing them to the lead developer's attentions when necessary [10:15] thanks [10:15] (it's password-protected :( ) [10:15] it's clear from a report on resolution that a huge number of the bugs that we receive don't actually require any developer action [10:15] jvw: you have to log in [10:15] kiko, so like a first, second and third level suppport... [10:16] staging... [10:16] ogra, well, to start off with, community first-level, us second-level. but yes. [10:16] of 7397 resolved bugs, only 3621 were resolved FIXED. most of the rest ended up being INVALID, NOTABUG, NOTWARTY and WORKSFORME [10:16] i like the LOWHANGINGFRUIT idea [10:16] and UNIVERSE :-) [10:16] dholbach, I do too, just don't ask me to add a status for it :) [10:16] yes, and UNIVERSE [10:16] so if we can get the community involved in walking over the UNCONFIRMED bugs [10:16] mdz, dholbach: we can probably use keywords there. [10:16] 3944 bugs, how come than we have #10000 ? [10:16] and clearing away the chaff [10:16] then the development team can focus on real bugs [10:16] right. [10:16] which should move to NEW [10:17] mdz, you got mail, did you see that? [10:17] i want to start a GNOME team with seb128 and have bug triaging in the manifest [10:17] kiko: no, no mail yet [10:17] mdz, ogra: so my proposal is that we start by doing weekly bugdays on #ubuntu and #ubuntu-devel [10:17] and we need a mailing list for the bugs [10:17] mdz, May 11 16:58:35 anthem sm-mta[26967] : j4BJwQxn026965: to=, ctladdr= (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] kiko, sounds great [10:17] seb128: exactly, like ubuntu-gnome-bugs@ [10:18] a bugday is a publicized event that invites community people to trawl through bugzilla [10:18] kiko: Subject: ? [10:18] like louis does them [10:18] ogra, dholbach: we can give away selected merchandise every week to the top resolver. === seb128 wants merchandises :p [10:18] yay, thats great [10:19] sounds awesome [10:19] probably top /new/ resolver [10:19] :( [10:19] luis_: you mean UNCONFIRMED, right? [10:19] you'll get some addictive types who will close hundreds every week :) [10:19] luis_, well, the criteria would need to be specified better. this is my proposal. [10:19] mdz: I mean, in terms of giving out goodies, you'd want to make sure it doesn't go to the same guy every week [10:19] seb128, find some straw MOTUs for that ;) [10:19] luis_: oh [10:19] luis_: don't look at me while saying that :) [10:19] 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 :) [10:20] luis_: if someone wanst to consistently work hard on bugs, shouldn't we encourage that? [10:20] mdz: oh, you should [10:20] we should [10:20] i think we shouldnt focus on the merchandise :-) [10:20] right [10:20] don't rathole, I can email you my more detailed rationale later [10:20] s/don't/we shouldn't/ [10:20] giving rewards is the _worst_ thing you can do [10:20] dholbach, we should, its encouraging [10:21] #ubuntu-love started as such a project, but is horribly unmaintained [10:21] oh wow, my bogofilter is all out of whack === jdthood [~jdthood@aglu.demon.nl] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [10:21] fix this bug to get a t-shirt [10:21] ogra: not in the meeting atm [10:21] you'll get lots of people to try a little or try once but if they don't win they won't do it again [10:21] i like the idea though [10:21] we need a http://bugzilla.gnome.org/reports/weekly-bug-summary.html like [10:21] <\sh> well...after dealing with gentoos bug-wranglers, it sounds really great to encourage community work. but who will check the results? [10:21] and if they do win they'll want another reward to do it again [10:21] Amaranth, that's not my experience. [10:22] seb128: looks great [10:22] \sh, if we have 1st 2nd and 3rd level, that would be the next higher level who has to check [10:22] dholbach: I like this stuff, and that's sane emulation :) [10:22] mdz, something like "no more mr. nice guy" === Amaranth spots seb128 as #2 bug reporter [10:23] *cough* [10:23] do we want to use UbuntuLove for all this? [10:23] <\sh> ogra: 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] ubuntuLove? [10:23] dholbach: I don't think so [10:23] the idea behind it was similar to GnomeLove [10:23] \sh, nope, in this case 2nd should approve too [10:24] mailing lists, irc channel and gnome-love-days to gather all the willing folks together [10:24] \sh, keep away as much as you can from 1st [10:24] dholbach: if we have people to handle both event, I would keep separete ones [10:24] the problem is: we have no people [10:24] \sh, at least that was my directive at ish GmbH in the testbed, worked quite well [10:25] #ubuntu-love is in lurking mode and there was only one day yet [10:25] ogra, 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] perhaps also decide what sort of guidance we want to give people [10:25] basically [10:25] kiko, ok, no problem [10:25] we want newbies to look at unconfirmed [10:25] get a little bugbot IRC bot [10:25] <\sh> ogra: 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] dunno if that's the same topic, be we need some mailing list for bug specific to teams (gnome-bugs, xfce-bugs, ...) [10:26] \sh, i talked about the depatment i led ;) not the NOC [10:26] seb128, it's not. [10:26] <\sh> ogra: i'm talking about the real world ,-) [10:26] kiko: k [10:26] ogra, when do you want to do them? [10:26] \sh, its a thing of the rikght organization [10:26] <\sh> ogra: lets find a solution for ubuntu and forget about ish ;) [10:27] weekly sounds good to me [10:27] dholbach, ogra: on what day? [10:27] although we have to have people around which will guide them [10:27] s/although// [10:27] yeah. [10:27] kiko, hmm... a fixed date in the week... dunno, i'll check at #ubuntu-motu to make sure to have some 2nd level people around [10:27] <\sh> saturday to sunday night ;) always good [10:27] not a weekday? [10:27] \sh, weekdays please [10:28] we want to have full-timezone-coverage :-) === ogra tends to wednesday... [10:28] fine with me [10:28] a bugday should be 24h ;) [10:28] full timezone coverage is kinda crazy for the organizers. [10:28] ogra: sissy :-) [10:28] weekday? hum... [10:28] I don't think ogra and dholbach can manage the 24h [10:28] <\sh> and this is another matter ;) [10:28] is there anyone in .au to cover for you guys? [10:28] not easy to get people doing bug triage during their working time [10:29] kiko: MOTUs are in all the timezones :-) [10:29] .nz [10:29] kiko, .nz [10:29] who would that be? [10:29] ajmitch [10:29] ajmitch [10:29] does he know bugzilla? [10:29] i think so [10:29] okay [10:29] ah... he went to bed :-) [10:29] yep [10:29] ogra, 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? [10:30] to many meetings today :) [10:30] kiko: absolutely [10:30] this meeting would discuss specifics [10:30] kiko, sure [10:30] <\sh> did u already established teams for the diff. projects? [10:30] \sh? [10:30] \sh: not yet, it will be a long-term goal [10:30] TEAMS! :-) [10:30] \sh, not more then we already have [10:30] and those consist of 1-3 people each :-) [10:31] \sh, first we need ppl [10:31] <\sh> well, i don't know if you're familiar with gentoo herds [10:31] \sh, GO RECRUITING MAN !! [10:31] <\sh> ogra: let me explain please [10:31] \sh: fire away [10:31] \sh, yay [10:31] go on [10:31] ogra, dholbach, mdz, seb128: any other thoughts? [10:31] otherwise we can move on and I'll wait for your feedback [10:31] <\sh> ok 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 kde [10:31] kiko, not yet, sounds fine so far [10:32] okay. [10:32] <\sh> so...every project like kde, gnome, ubuntuserver etc. pp. are teams and have to work on those bugs [10:32] kiko, thats a thing with a internal evolution anyway, you cant spec out everything here [10:32] <\sh> problem is, as it states out here, the recruitement [10:33] kiko: no, but my attention is divided [10:33] \sh, correct [10:33] \sh: the group is not an issue, every package has a QA contact [10:33] <\sh> working ppl are missing and it's hard to cover this [10:33] \sh, so we currently have to care for everything, like we do anyway... [10:33] <\sh> seb128: thats right, but most of the time it's individual [10:34] kiko: i think you can move on [10:34] \sh, but we already have a team.... its just not divided yet...the more people we have the more it will spilt up... [10:35] \sh: that doesn't matter, you can set the QA to a mailing list [10:35] but facing reality, the team thing is a longterm shot [10:35] thanks [10:35] <\sh> seb128: this we should do :) [10:35] kiko, thanks for the meeting :) [10:35] \sh: that was I was saying before and that's what is planned [10:35] thanks to you guys [10:35] ping me till friday [10:35] thank you kiko [10:35] thanks kiko [10:35] will do [10:35] enjoy === kiko [~kiko@200-171-140-32.dsl.telesp.net.br] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["Left] [10:35] :-) [10:36] <\sh> well...and if you have the teams ready, and you have the people..the next problem will be the fluctuation of those people. === mdz [~mdz@ca-studio-bsr1o-251.vnnyca.adelphia.net] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["Client] [10:36] <\sh> this was the result at gentoo :( [10:36] \sh, we'll handle it, dont worry [10:37] the nice atmosphere will hopefully keep people [10:37] the fluctuation you handle by just recruiting regularly [10:37] and by counting on the super-volunteers [10:37] yeah [10:37] 90 of 100 who show will never return [10:37] there is always fluctuation in open source projects [10:37] of the remaining ten, only 1 or 2 will return for more than a handful of times [10:37] [10:37] doesn't matter [10:37] just find a new 100 :) [10:37] "just" [10:37] luis_, i think its just a matter of being loud enough :) [10:37] or obsessive developer [10:38] seb128: I did it for years, it isn't that hard ;) [10:38] he he [10:38] (though, granted, it does need someone with patience/persistence... I've slacked in the past year or two :/ [10:38] luis_, you dnot do it anymore ? [10:38] <\sh> well...for ubuntu the situation is quite different [10:38] ogra: no, not really, I've just been too busy with my job and stuff [10:39] <\sh> on one hand, you have a company behind you, who could hire ppl on a contract basis [10:39] I might restart them for gnome, dunno [10:39] luis_, oh, i thought that was covered in your job too [10:39] <\sh> on the other hand u need the "outsiders", the community to do most of the stuff ;) [10:39] ogra: well, not towards the end, no :/ [10:39] ogra: I was 'purely' a manager towards the end of my novell career [10:39] luis_, ah, yes, the end... [10:39] dholbach: http://tinyurl.com/9297d [10:39] <\sh> luis_: before or after suse? [10:40] \sh: hrm, started before suse, really [10:40] with the XD2 push, I guess... I mean, i still did mostly QA for xd2, but no community QA, since it wasn't a released product [10:40] luis_, i know the feeling very good... ask \sh, we were colleagues.. i needed to go to not take a sling... [10:40] hehe [10:40] seb128: wow [10:40] <\sh> xd? ximian? [10:40] yes === HiddenWolf [~hidden@136.56.dynamic.phpg.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting [10:41] seb128: oh, nice === luis_ looks forward to getting 2.20 at b.g.o, by way of bkor :) [10:41] <\sh> ogra: well...I'll have one more year, then I#m leaving this company ;) [10:41] \sh: where are you now? [10:41] <\sh> ogra: after all, better then to work for lycos ;) [10:42] \sh, if they didnt cannibalize themselves then :) [10:42] <\sh> luis_: I'm working at ISH GmbH, a german cable tv company... [10:42] ah. [10:42] to which big US company does it belong again? [10:42] <\sh> ogra: peter was really strange towards me... [10:42] <\sh> dholbach: it was callahan [10:42] <\sh> (sp?) [10:43] dholbach, it was callahan... [10:43] <\sh> dholbach: now it's a bank consortium, and from summer on it will be IESY ;) [10:43] <\sh> (lets hope) [10:43] oh nice [10:44] <\sh> ogra: right now, peter comes down to ISP/DTV people and ask them for engineering stuff ;) === ogra wonders why ppl call the ubuntu release names strange.... they should look at german companys... [10:44] heh [10:45] <\sh> ogra: so i said today to him: why don't u ask klaus? he said: well, it's good to know, that we have people who can do this job, too ;) [10:45] heh [10:45] \sh, they will offer you my job then ;) [10:45] <\sh> ogra: no :) [10:45] sure [10:46] <\sh> ogra: forget it...I'm waiting what will happen...i think klaus will leave (if not now, then later) [10:46] he will [10:47] <\sh> i don't really know what's going on upstairs, but all of the engineers (alfred, ingo etc.) are looking for something else...if it's in another department of ish or new companies [10:47] <\sh> anyways OT ;) [10:48] i think i started a lot of stuff when i left...
