mdzthese meetings are going to be strictly time-limited so it is important that everyone be here on time09:04

Keybukhttps://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+specs09:05
Keybuk^ that's the "goal list", right?09:05
mdzKeybuk: I wish it were09:05
JaneWthis view is easier to scan through... https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+specstable#09:05
mdzI started creating it there, but then discovered that any random launchpad user could add things to it09:05

JaneWmdz: ok, I can check it against launchpad to see if it changes much09:07

fabbioneand he doesn't hear the phone09:09
JaneWwhile the phone stuff is happening09:10
mdzok, we can't wait longer09:10
mdzJaneW: please make a note to follow up with ian, tollef and ben09:10
JaneWwhat I need, is the list of goals with assignees, and then also the estimated developer days for each goal09:10
mdzyes, over the next week you need to review your assigned specs and try to estimate the amount of time that each will take09:11
mdzof course these will be rough (sometimes very rough) estimates, and that is OK09:11
JaneWthere is a field for this in the spec header now. Also we need all known dependencies included. Please could you all fill this in, so I can attempt to make a gantt chart from them.09:11
mdzbut it is important that we have some idea of small vs. medium vs. large09:11
=== Nafallo [n=nafallo@ubuntu/member/nafallo] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
fabbionehmmm there are none of my assigned specs in the +spectable#09:12
JaneWthe time estimates can be amended later if you gauged it wrong the first time, it's just to help to plan better.09:12
mdzthis is your chance to ensure that your workload is achievable within the release timeframe09:12
mdzso those of you who felt that your breezy goals were too much for the time allotted, this is how you can avoid the same fate for dapper09:13
mdzso get those estimates in before the next meeting09:13
fabbionemdz: i suggest that we extend this into the specs 09:13
mdzfabbione: what do you mean?09:13
fabbioneto most of the drafter i did ask to add estimte implementation time directly when writing the specs09:14
fabbioneexactly to have it handy from the beginning09:14
danielsmdz: daniels_mobile's battery died09:14
mdzif it's in the text of the spec, it should be propagated to launchpad09:14
pittiack09:14
mdza note about the format of these meetings09:15
JaneWI found last time that having to read dozen's of specs to distil the updates was impossible, which is why we need the salient info easily available09:15
mdzthe idea is to have a chance for everyone to very briefly say what they have completed in the past week, will work on in the next week, and where they are blocked09:15
mdzto give us a chance to quickly resolve any blockages where we can, and arrange for further discussion where necessary09:16
fabbionemdz: i did write something already. If you want i can paste and we can start from it to see how to adapt it for this meeting09:16
mdzthey will last no more than one hour09:16
mdzso we will not have a lot of discussion09:16
mdzif there is a topic which needs real discussion, we'll schedule a followup meeting with only the people who need to be there09:16
JaneWI will attemot to publish a summary table of the info afterwards09:16
mdzsince these meetings invariably involve odd hours for some people, we won't hold up the entire group for discussions which aren't relevant to everyone09:16
mdzfabbione: I think the easiest thing would be to agree on a standard format so that we can paste09:17
mdzas is done in the launchpad meetings09:17
mdzhowever, we did not do this in advance this time, of course09:17
Kamionmy notes have <launchpad-spec-name>: summary-of-progress09:17
Kamioner, minus angle brackets09:18
pittiI did it like this: specname\nProgres: ... \n Blocks: \n Plan: \n Time estimate09:18

JaneWpitti: sounds great :))09:18
=== pitti compactifies :)
JaneWheh09:18
mdzKamion: would you start?09:18
Kamionubuntu-express-*, ue-*: Not started; will start next week once Flight CD 1 is done.09:19
Kamioncd-build-process: jigdo improvements done, yielding the vast bulk of the wins here; elmo reckons parallelisation will be a loss with little's current hardware ("I/O bandwidth of a straw"); single-architecture rebuilds not started, but not blocked.09:19
Kamioncd-bootloader: syslinux 3 merge partly done, but blocked on finishing Flight CD 1 for general sanity reasons. gfxboot work blocked on that. CD timeout work not started.09:19
Kamionmisc: insane pile of merges, lots of uninstallable-fixing, seed reorganisation, etc. Assuming I get Flight CD 1 done this week, I intend to spend next week on (a) the big apt-setup merge from Debian (fixing lots of bugs) and (b) Ubuntu Express.09:19
mdzgreat, that's the right level of detail09:19
Keybuk(merges: 200 dropped to 150 in the last 2 days)09:20
mdzwe'll chat a bit about merges at the end of the meeting if we have time09:20
mdzfabbione: next?09:20

seb128should we mention all the specs or only the spec where we did some work?09:23
mdzfabbione: ok, we'll work on the format for next time so that this is clearer09:23
pittithe latter would make more sense09:23
Mithrandiroh, pong.09:23
Mithrandirsorry, I overslept. :-/09:23
mdzpitti: if a task is stalled, it's important for that to be clear during the meeting09:23

mdzbut we haven't time to discuss it here.  janew or I will send mail to the list about it09:24
mdzseb128: ready?09:24
pittiJaneW: maybe you can evaluate today's formats and suggest a standard one for the next meeting?09:24
seb128This week:09:24
seb128* caught with UBZ mail backlog09:24
seb128* packaged GNOME 2.13.2 (with dholbach)09:24

mdzseb128: thanks09:24
mdzpitti: yes, we will do so after the meeting09:24
mdzpitti: ready?09:24
pittihide-admin-tools-to-users: implemented backend part of hide-admin-tools-to-users; Plan: coordinate with seb128 and mvo about updating all desktop files and gnome-menu/update-notifier  Time estimate: 2 mandays09:25
pittigstreamer-audio-backend: Blocks: I need gstreamer 0.10 beta in dapper; Plan: upgrade ALSA libs to 1.10 and make necessary adjustments according to spec; Time estimate: 1 day ALSA, 2 days gstreamer; libgnome: unclear09:25
pittiautomatic-printer-conf: Plan: upgrade to latest cupsys beta; ETA: 6 hours (big package, lots of Ubuntu changes)09:25
mdzonce we have a standard format we should be able to parallelize more without losing clarity09:25
pittirosetta-firefox-support: Blocks: carlos currently plays with moz2po to actually get it working; ETA unknown09:25
pittigeneral for next week: finish merges, catch up with security, clean up anastacia09:25
=== infinity is ready.
pittithat's it for now, I didn't start with the other specs so far09:25
mdzseb128: will gstreamer 0.10 come in with gnome 2.13.2?09:25

mdzhmm, ok09:26
mdzpitti: thanks09:26
pittiseb128: any beta to play with?09:26
=== JaneW will list as no progress, anything for which an update is not explicitly given
mdzKeybuk: next?09:26
Keybukasure09:26
Keybukudev-roadmap: klibc updated, but decided not to use it for udev.  modutils now up to date and owns the isapnp aliases and blacklists; potential issue with installer/initramfs modprobe (busybox) not supporting blacklists.  udev packaging is progressing well; chose intersection of Debian and SuSE rules for our own, still need to sort out upgrades.09:26
seb128there is 0.9 tarball, Debian has SVN version of the package but the Debian maintain doesn't want to upload them because the versionning will change for 0.10 ... probably better to wait the 2-3 weeks if we can09:26
Keybukhardware-activation: firmware moved to /lib/firmware as new standard path, kernel-wedge updated, BenC to update kernel-source09:26
Keybuknetwork-magic: NetworkManager doesn't work with Atheros cards, which are pretty common in the target userbase.  Perhaps this should be deferred until the cards can be supported (which is most likely when we have an open driver for them as iz driver bug)09:26
Keybukstreamlined-boot: bootchart packages made available, 10s shaved by removal of boot-time depmod.  Next up see what the udev changes do, then fix readahead.09:26
KeybukJaneW: could you mention which specs those are, some of us could be just forgetting by accident ;)09:27
KamionKeybuk: installer issue is no longer relevant for now because I switched d-i to module-init-tools09:27
JaneWKeybuk: yes, but not today... all my FF windows have hung need to reboot after meeting ;)09:27
mdzKeybuk: regarding udev-roadmap, what is the status of the new coldplugging infrastructure?09:27
mdzKeybuk: let's chat later in detail about what to do with NM09:28
Keybukmdz: oops, missed that in my trimming to one line ... prototype tested yesterday and seems to work, need to code up a full version and update initramfs -- ~1 day09:28
mdzKeybuk: ok, please make that your next priority so it lands as early as possible09:29
infinityKeybuk : I'll need a loud ping from you when you've released your soft lock on initramfs, by the way, so we avoid stepping on each other.09:29
mdzKeybuk: streamlined-boot also has a list of things to remove from the boot process, right?09:29
JaneWinfinity/ Keybuk will you 2 coordinate that or do you need me to liaise?09:30
infinityJaneW : I tihnk we're capable. :)09:30
JaneWinfinity: good :P09:30
mdzKeybuk: ok, thanks09:30
mdzmvo: next?09:30
mvoThis week:09:30
mvo* automatic removal of dependencies:09:30
mvo  - merged work from UBZ with mainline, want to bounty dburrows09:30
mvo* support 3rd party package09:30
mvo  - support for sources.list.d added to apt/synaptic09:30
mvo  - gdebi (direct installing of debs) makes progress09:30
mvoWill do:09:30
mvo* support 3rd party packages channels and work on a gui for that09:30
mvo  (releated to "better repo dialog" spec)09:30
mvo* unattended package upgrades checking script09:30
mvo* gdebi upload to universe09:31
pittimvo: can I have you for hide-admin-tools next week? for the u-n side? (should be a small change)09:31
mvopitti: sure, that should be possible09:32
mdzmvo: command-not-found, release-upgrades?09:32
mvomdz: not started yet, do you want me to change priorities?09:32
mdzmvo: please look at them in enough detail to make a time estimate this week, and we'll prioritize based on that09:33
mdzmvo: thanks09:33
mdzdoko: next?09:33
dokotoolchain-roadmap:  toolchain packages updated to current versions, not final releases. libstdc++ allocator changes start after flight-1, ia32-libs will start loosing packages next week (with glibc), java-updates: not yet started09:33
dokoothers: no progress09:33

dokoinfinity, dholbach: thanks09:35
dokomdz: ok09:35
Mithrandirdoko: would you have a chance to do the ooo-amd64 changes, or should I get around to do that?09:35
Mithrandir(to build native packages)09:35
mdzdoko: thanks09:35
dokoMithrandir: I'd like to wait until after the allocator change09:36
mdzinfinity: next?09:36
Mithrandirdoko: ok, sure.09:36
infinityinitramfs/usplash-*: fixing vga16fb and syslinux to both run at 640x400, pushing changes to BenC to get the kernel to use update-initramfs in its postinst, most other initramfs stuff will be started in the next week or two, when Keybuk releases his "lock".09:36
infinityreducing-duplication: ongoing effort, currently beginning to focus on rebuilding everything against the One True openssl (0.9.8)09:36
infinitymisc-blocked: linux-restricted-modules waiting on Xorg to build (which is waiting on a new glibc from jbailey) before I bump us to new ATI drivers and fiddle with new Xorg and /lib/firmware paths.09:36
infinitymisc-nextweek: PHP security updates on my plate, and of course, more effort on the merge and bug triage fray.09:36
mdzinfinity: is buildd admin taking a lot of your time with the churn?09:37
infinitymdz : It can, this week hasn't been TOO painful, though.09:37
infinitymdz : It's actually far worse with little churn but high expectations (ie: close to test/release times)09:38

Riddellmdz: ok, I'll look at that today09:40
mdzRiddell: over the next week I need you to take charge of getting kubuntu CD builds going again (uninstallables, livefs builds, etc.)09:40
sivangJaneW: DapperGoals is da page ? :)09:41
Kamionsivang: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+specstable09:41
Kamion(for the moment)09:41
Riddellmdz: yep, I've been waiting on c++ transition for that09:41
infinityRiddell : For the livefs unbreakage, you know to ping me if you need help, yes?09:41
sivangKamion: ah right, thx09:41
mdzRiddell: we're trying to get a CD build out before introducing more uninstallability09:41
Riddellinfinity: will do09:41
mdzRiddell: with Kamion's build process improvements, it should be much easier to run CD builds on-demand09:42
mdzRiddell: thanks09:42
mdzMithrandir: next?09:42
KamionRiddell: I re-enabled the cdimage crontab last night so at least you'll get test runs09:42
RiddellKamion: great, thanks09:43
Mithrandirmdz: sure, ready.09:43
mdzMithrandir: fire away09:43
MithrandirThis week:09:43
Mithrandir- merges09:43
Mithrandir- making it possible to build cdebconf widgets out-of tree.09:43
MithrandirNext week:09:43
Mithrandir- merges09:43
Mithrandir- help making the CDs installable again so I can implement some of my CD-based specs and start doing the live cd boot speed instrumentation09:43
MithrandirBlocked on:09:43
Mithrandir- generally bugzilla being utterly slow due to jamesh running gpg imports on the bugzilla host.  Makes it hard to know when bug triage and merges are possible to do.09:43
mdzMithrandir: I'll follow up regarding macquarie09:44
Mithrandirmdz: thanks.09:44
mdzMithrandir: please make CD and livefs installability your priority, to help Colin in preparing the first Flight09:44

mdzMithrandir: coordinate with him regarding what needs to be done09:44
Mithrandirmdz: ok, will do.09:45
pittiI'll do the inclusion reports toay to fix anastacia09:45
mdzpitti: is anastacia currently blocking installability?09:45
pitti(and make a few uploads to use other libs, etc.)09:45
pittimdz: not so sure, but buildability at least09:45
Kamionmdz: in some cases yes09:45
Mithrandirpitti: we should be announcing locks of some kind in #u-d, then.09:45
Mithrandirthere has been a little (but not much) double-work due to people not announcing what they're doing.09:46
mdzKamion: let's have a followup regarding the CD blockers and distributing that work to more people09:46

=== Keybuk [n=scott@descent.netsplit.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
dholbachthis week: done: big heap of merges, gnome 2.13.209:46
dholbachthis week: to do: bug triage, missing merges, ubuntu-docs packaging09:46
dholbachnext week: bug triage, missing merges, desktop team organisation, bug day, talking accessibility with hno73, c++ allocator change09:46
dholbachpower-management-configuration: desrt, mjg59, pitti and hughsie are currently in the loop. the biggest problem is that gnome-power-manager/hal upstream want to have hal running as root, whereas pitti ... doesnt want to. We already considered not using g-p-m and rely on the scripts, Matthew didn't like that. desrt started hacking on various things for testing reasons, but unfortunately there was no agreement made yet.09:47
dholbachinclusion-of-docs: started to try to understand 80M of docs and how they are built; no upload yet, since there were no big changes yet09:47
dholbachacessibility-*: need to catch up with hno73, since the BOFs were not scheduled in Montreal09:47
jsgotangcoyeah09:47
=== Keybuk returns ... could someone send me everything since I last said anything <g>
mdzdholbach: hmm, let's talk later about power-management-configuration, sounds like we need to figure that out09:47
dholbachabsolutely09:47
RiddellKeybuk: done09:47
Kamiondholbach: I think for avoidance of confusion (?) we should consider weeks to start and end at this meeting. :)09:47

JaneWogra: and evangelising and trying to solicit community dev help!09:50
mdzogra: ok, we have things to talk about on many of those goals, let's do that soon09:50
ogramdz, yup09:50
JaneWmdz: want a sep edubuntu meeting with us?09:50
mdzJaneW: sure, we can do that at the same time09:50
infinityogra : You may want to hit/ping me later about your experience with usplash on thin clients, I was going to play with that Real Soon Now.09:50
mdzJaneW: BenC and Diziet are not here, please follow up with them via email and CC me09:51
ograinfinity, its fine, just slow :)09:51
JaneWmdz: will do09:51
infinityogra : Sure, but there's no reason it should be.  Anyhow, later.09:51
ograyup09:51
mdzok, one general agenda item is the merge process09:51
mdzwe need to get this initial merge finished off so that we can move ahead with other work09:52
pittiI would really like to see some more people being able to sync packages09:52
mdzpitti: sync or merge?09:52
pittiit costs a lot of time to track these issues for several days09:52
pittimdz: sync09:52
seb128yeah09:52
ogramdz, sync09:52
pittiand they block other packages often09:52
mdzpitti: oh, carry out the actual sync in katie you mean?09:52
=== mvo agrees
pittimdz: yes09:52
mdzelmo, Kamion and I can all do that09:53
Kamionpitti: I did some for a while, but elmo said it costs him time to try to resolve what I've done against his queue when he comes back09:53
Kamionmdz: ^--09:53
pittiKamion: hm, ok09:53
seb128it took me 4 days to get gnumeric buildable mostly waiting on syncs09:53
pittibut that is a blocker IMHO, at least for me09:53
Kamionand asked me not to do it unless it was world-shattering urgent and he'd jumped under a bus09:53
mdzKamion: let's the three of us put our heads together and figure out how to do that better09:53
Kamionmdz: nod09:53
Mithrandirusing the wiki or bugzilla or something sounds like a good plan, IMO.09:53
pittiwhen we discover that something can be synced, we should do it right away09:53
pittiotherwise new changes interfere with that, etc.09:54
pittiwe already had that case09:54
JaneWmdz: are you going to get the DapperGaols wiki page going or should I?09:54
mdzJaneW: go ahead and create it; I'll populate it (was planning to just put a list of launchpad URLs there for now)09:54
mdzJaneW: there isn't much sense duplicating the info from launchpad I don't think09:54
JaneWmdz: I am scheming all sorts of huge and unwieldy tabulated stuff now ;)09:55
mdzJaneW: once we figure out the view we need, we can add it to the spec tracker and have it generated automatically09:55
Kamionpitti: not to be rah-launchpad or anything, but ultimately there'll be a button you can push to do that, I think ...09:55
JaneWmdz: that would be WAY better09:55
mdzok, we have 5 minutes.  does anyone have a pressing concern which applies to the entire team?09:55

fabbionedoko: i did open an RT request for it09:56
danielsyes, I pinged you about 45 minutes ago.09:56
danielscompleted: x11r7 rc1 and assorted bugfix fun.  a few merges, syncs.  prepared xorg breezy-update.  debugging mcpp.09:56
danielswip: x11r7 rc2 tarball updates (~100 new tarballs).  everything but server done; server and drivers are in local testing as there's no point uploading (see below).09:56
danielsblocked: glibc for building xorg-server.  jbailey and I developed patch to fix.  new binutils upstream needed to let glibc build so xorg-server can build so the drivers can build.  bugzilla.09:56
danielsplanned: finish x11r7 rc2 tarballs.  start work on uninstallables.  update mesa to new upstream when it comes.09:56
danielsx-roadmap: permanently wip by definition.  eta: jan 20th. dbus-restarts: largely fixed (we don't restart dbus anymore).  mostly informational for upstream use.  eta: not planned. gdm-keyboard-layout: superseded by a few other specs which don't involve me.  eta: no idea. faster-gnome-startup: some mcpp issues to iron out which have been causing me pain today.  eta: unsure (else only gnome work left).09:56
pittihrmpf network #$##$09:56
JaneWfabbione: we'll have to fix that!09:56
sivangJaneW: lol09:57
dokofabbione, Znarl did tell me it was long term, but it looks like we need it short term, or at least have separate i386 and amd64 machines09:57
mdzdaniels: so r7 final is expected in Jan?09:57
danielsdec 7th09:57
mdzdaniels: what is blocking the glibc upload?  just do it09:57
fabbionedoko: i told him we need a short term solution asap to work and a final solution because it is a long term issue09:57
danielsmdz: i can do it if you want, but it will FTBFS because of binutils09:57
dholbachmdz: the cd?09:58

mdzdaniels: is the new binutils a big deal to package?09:58
fabbionemdz: elmo required some testing before upload and afaik he is looking into it09:58
fabbionethere is a bit more than just pkging09:58
danielsmdz: elmo has said to tread very, very carefully around it, so jbailey is mostly sorting it out aiui09:58
mdzdholbach: the cd?09:58
danielsmdz: it's non-trivial (jumping to a new cvs revision)09:59
dholbachmdz: you asked what was blocking it... i was thinking loudly, sorry09:59
mdzdaniels: ok, we can't block on jbailey as he'll be busy with support this cycle09:59
mdzdaniels: let's discuss later09:59
mdzwe're out of time09:59
danielsi'm not confident that I won't break the entire archive, which could possibly be counterproductive.  so it's not immediately obvious.09:59
JaneWdaniels: good thing to say as the meeting ends!10:00
mdzanything else, mail me, me/janew, or ubuntu-devel as appropriate10:00
pittithat was a pretty useful meeting IMHO10:00
