mdzcool, thanks09:10
mdzJaneW: ian?09:10
JaneWiwj sent me load of stuff ito updates... let me know when to stop ;)09:10
JaneWTasks and work progress:09:10
JaneWAutomatedTesting: initial package uploaded to Debian and Ubuntu, autodebtest 0.5.1, awaiting NEW processing in both. Announcement not yet written; I'll do that when it's in at least one of the archives (announcement(s) will go to u-devel and d-devel at least). Next steps: wire piuparts into it (some design required); talk to soyuz and sysadmin people about what shape interface they want for automatic testing of uploads; write m09:10
JaneWore per-package tests.09:10
JaneWFirefox: persistent but not consistent reports of crashes. I suspect the Flash plugin. There are definite problems with the hack for Flash sound support, which I plan to disable. See https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/29760.09:10
JaneWDeveloperDocumentation: Not started, not blocked.09:10
JaneWEmail backlog: caught up (yay)09:10
JaneWThings to do at the sprint:09:10
JaneW* I would like anyone with a firefox bug to please demo it front of me. I want to spend much of the week trying to track as many of these down as possible.09:10
JaneW* AutomatedTesting discussions with sysadmin/soyuz people, to result in agreed interface shape and/or tasks. See above. Will elmo be at the sprint ?09:10
JaneW* There are some systematic problems with the LP UI (for example, the09:10
JaneW3-column layout is one of my pet peeves). To appropriately drive09:10
JaneWchange on these issues, we (the distro team) need to 1. discuss09:10
JaneWamongst ourselves what our opinions are and 2. come to some09:10
JaneWconclusions that have strong and broad support in the distro team.09:10
JaneWThis will clarify discussions with LP designers and help us to drive09:10
JaneWgood changes (even if they can't be implemented right away).09:10
JaneWIt will also allow us to identify criticisms that are not widely09:10
JaneWshared so that those people can know they're not going to win the09:10
JaneWargument and can stop arguing. I would suggest the following09:10
JaneWstructure: 1. plenary meeting (1h) to brainstorm opinions/09:11
JaneWcriticisms/ideas and nominate champions for particular points of view09:11
JaneW(with lists of rough supporters for champions to talk to);09:11
JaneW2. refinement by champions offline and with informal discussions;09:11
JaneW3. plenary meeting where champions present opinions and meeting09:11
JaneWdecides (by show of hands if necessary) which opinions have consensus.09:11
JaneW(Note that I envisage that some champions' positions will be09:11
JaneWindepedent of each other, but others might be contradictory.) This09:11
JaneWwill take about 3h for each distro team member, which I hope is not09:11
JaneWtoo much and I think it will help clear the air.09:11
JaneW4. consensus views documented by champions passed to LP development09:11
mdzI don't think it'll be necessary to wire testing into uploads; we can just periodically test the archive09:11
JaneWteam (eg as bug reports).09:11
JaneWok the last line...09:11
JaneWProbably, you don't want to paste all of that into the meeting :-).09:11
JaneWSo as a summary:09:11
Kamionheh, bit late09:11
JaneW* IWJ would like to come to closure, and rough consensus, on disputed LP UI issues - at least within the distro team.09:11
JaneW:)09:11
pittimdz: hm, rejecting uploads on regressions would be sexy, though09:11
Keybukhe does realise that we did all this at UBZ, especially jbailey and I, and we managed to get just one slight change to the UI out of all of our work? :)09:11
Kamion(worth noting that bradb has got approval for a 2-column layout for some of the bug pages)09:12
mdzyes, elmo will be at the sprint09:12
mdzKamion: !09:12
KeybukKamion: "one" of the bug pages :)  but yes, \o/09:12
Kamionmdz: should be in either #ubuntu-devel or #canonical archives for today, I forget which09:12
KamionI think it was the bug contact index09:12
mdzJaneW: I don't want to argue launchpad UI issues at the sprint; LP won't be represented there09:13
ografor the overview and search output page09:13
JaneWmdz: ok, I'll gag him09:13
mdzit would just be us complaining09:13

jbaileymdz: 'k09:14
mdzI will chase those down with LP mgmt personally09:14
mdza list of 3 bug numbers is sufficient09:14
jbaileyCool.09:15
mdzjbailey: anything to report status-wise?09:15
jbailey * Toolchainroadmap - I'd like to peel off the timezone data from glibc and put them into the langpacks.  It's not an ideal fit, but timezone data is updated a number of times (6 to 10) a year.  Have already had one request to update Breezy.  Spoke with pitti, it seems good.  Will figure out what this means and email to mdz for an okay.09:15
jbailey== Sprint Ideas ==09:15
jbailey * Roundtable discussion of dropping pre-i686 from main Ubuntu port.  A side effect of this is probably a discussion on buntu.09:15
jbailey * Group session to understand how langpack updates work, and how I should work with pitti (and others?) to get updates in.09:15
jbailey * Jam session.  Bring instruments. =)09:15
jbailey09:15
JaneWjbailey: we making jam? 8)09:15

JaneWnope, not a word09:16
mdzKamion: next09:17
Kamioncd-bootloader: Implemented keymap selection. Only localised help is left here.09:17
Kamionubuntu-express-bootloader: Implemented espresso-grub. (This just needs espresso-yaboot now and then it'll be done, and I think that's fairly easy.)09:17
Kamionue-partitioning-tool: Made formatting and mounting be done using partman too, which eliminates some duplication and some outright wrong and dangerous code. UI still slow and clunky though; I have plans for this, probably to be discussed and played with at the sprint.09:17
Kamionubuntu-express: Would have uploaded an initial working-for-me version today but for my disk problems. I'll do it tomorrow.09:17
Kamionmisc: Low-memory installation support improved (successful 32MB installation on i386).09:17
Kamionsprint-plans: Get somebody else up to speed on roughly how Espresso works so that they can help me, and work on UI and performance. Live CD on USB sticks, maybe? Localised help in the new CD boot loader?09:17

Mithrandiryeah, I'm bringing a 160GB drive and a 74GB raptor.  Those can be used for test installs and crack, but they'd need SATA cables, both signals and power.09:22
JaneW- more upgrade tool work09:22
JaneW- send report to ubuntu-devel about current upgrade testing (failures09:22
JaneWin packages)09:22
JaneW- maybe upload gnome-app-install new-look into dapper (if it will be approved)09:22

JaneWmdz: no sorry09:23
mdzJaneW: please collate everyone's suggestions from here and the wiki page into a list we can use next week09:24
mdzogra?09:24
JaneWmdz: will do09:24
ogra* thin-client-memory-usage: did some more playing with nbd09:24

ogra=== sprint ideas ===09:24
ograflight 4 testing session since we all can share one CD set and will have a bunch of differnt HW ;)09:24
pittiJaneW: can we collect it right on the wiki page?09:24
ogra=== will bring ===09:24
ogracompaq thin client+ keyboard/mouse09:24
ograibook09:24
ograamd64 lappie09:24
ograusb dvd writer09:24
ogra160GB ide disk if needed09:24
ograboth laptops have spare patitions for test installs09:25
mdzogra: what's left for faster-startup?09:25
JaneWpitti: certainly - in fact please do09:25
ograthat we talk about initscript removal ;) removing them doesnt work, i think we need to set them to K09:25
fabbioneJaneW: I will bring my powerbook, usb hd for testing, local copies of all the .iso, dvd burner, some cd/dvd media.09:25
pittiJaneW: that's the page I announced for collecting ideas, so if you want to add anything, there's no need for another place imho09:26
ogramdz, additionally the intiramfs patch infinity wants to talk about at the sprint09:26
JaneWpitti: indeed I'll use that, it was listed in my mail earlier too09:26
mdzogra: doesn't work?09:26
mdzogra: ok, let's talk about it after the meeting or tomorrow09:26
ogramdz, not for rcS09:26
KeybukJaneW: I'll bring my laptop, powerbook, guitar, and anything else I can reasonably lug on the train09:27
mdzogra: did you ask anyone else?09:27
ograi talked with pere09:27
infinityogra: I'll be doing a fair chunk of initramfs hacking at the sprint, to get everyone's pet bugs sorted.09:27
ograbut i see that they are recreated in rcS09:27
infinityogra: So, just tap me on the shoulder, and we'll sor tit.09:27
infinitysort it, too.09:27
ograinfinity, thats what i was referring to09:27
mdzogra: recreated, really?09:27
mdzogra: ok, talk to infinity about it rather than me09:27
mdzhe's even in a convenient time zone09:27
ograor reinstalled ... they are there again :)09:27
pittiI thought they were just recreated if all symlinks are removed09:27
mdzogra: thanks09:28
infinityogra: That's a feature.  Talk to me about that one, too.  (the init scripts)09:28
mdzpitti?09:28
ograinfinity, oki09:28
pittilangpacks-desktopfiles:09:28
pitti * implemented langpack support for .directory files09:28
pitti * added cdbs part for langpack support for .server files09:28
pitti * zyga looked into the gnome side of that and should have something going by start of next week (otherwise I'll finish that; we will definitively have it for dapper)09:28
pitti * wrote a script to track rebuild progress and catch packages which need manual fixes09:28
pitti * talked to Riddell, KDE seems more difficult; mdz, can we split that into a separate spec and assign that to Riddel?09:28
pittiother stuff this week: cups bug fixing, cleaned up ALSA configuration file handling, improved default sound card selection, langpack update for breezy (95% finished, will upload tonight if testing goes well), some security updates09:28
pittino progress on other specs09:28
pittiplan: finish breezy langpack update, complete implementation of gnome side of langpacks-desktopfiles, catch up on bug triage, work with infinity on PHP security update09:28
pittisprint ideas so far: work on transitions with infinity (openssl, libdb, mozilla, mysql); work on various locales stuff with jbailey; help testing/implementing NetworkMagic and work on the linux-wlan-ng side for it (since it's a bit 'spethial')09:28
pittisprint hardware: iBook, USB wireless (linux-wlan-ng), usb stick, usb headset09:28
mdzpitti: feel free to break out the KDE bits and hand off to Riddell09:28
pittimdz: ok, I'll do that; easier to track that way09:28
pittibtw, langpack testing is thumbs up09:29
mdzcool09:29
mdzpitti: thanks09:29
pittiyay rosetta09:29
mdzseb128?09:29
seb128dapper-desktop-plan: hacked gdm to have the new menu and icons for entries as described by the spec, edited the ubuntu-artwork theme according to the spec09:29
seb128gstreamer0.10: updated rhythmbox (now daap works with gst0.10), new upstream version of totem. New gnome-media and sound-juicer switched to gst0.10. Only gnome-applets (has a patch upstream), evolution (just a plugin, we don't need to build it) and serpentine (SVN ported) require 0.8, we can probably kick gstreamer0.8 out of the desktop next week09:29
seb128other: bug triage, bug triage, some GNOME updates, comments on launchpad, played with the new gconf (split of the .xml by locale) on different boxes before uploading it09:29
pittilate, but good :)09:29
seb128.09:29
seb128next week (sprint): GNOME 2.13.90, discussion about debugging packages for dapper (would make bug work much easier for distro and upstream), getting opinions on the desktop changes for dapper (what we need to adjust, what others changes we want to do)09:29
mdzseb128: nice, thanks09:30
mdzRiddell?09:30
Riddellkubuntu-dapper-roadmap: KDE 3.5.1 packaging09:30
Riddellkubuntu-package-manager: discussions with mornfall and mdz, I believe he's still to forward final costings though09:30
Riddellalso: revu, koffice beta packaging, fixing upgrade09:30
Riddellblocking: mdz to decide on kde 3.5.1 upload09:30
Riddellsprint todo: start porting espresso to qt?09:30
mdzRiddell: go for it with 3.5.109:31
Riddellgreat, thanks09:31
mdzRiddell: yes, waiting for pricing from mornfall09:31
Riddellhe finished his last exam the other day, I'll poke him more09:31
mdzRiddell: thanks09:31
mdzfastest round of status updates EVAR09:31
mdzso who's bringing what musical instruments to the sprint?09:32
Riddellmy mini mac probably doesn't count09:32
ograi have a blues harp i can bring but cant play it :)09:32
=== pitti won't bring the guitar with the plane, but will do so in april
KeybukI can bring guitar09:32
pittiwill we have any guitar there?09:32
jbaileyFlute, recorder, might get a drum but I'm not sure yet.09:32
pittijbailey: no chance to forget the recorder?09:33
mdzdoko: you wanted to discuss bringing hardware?09:33
mdzis there specific hardware we need?09:33
fabbionemy hardware is big enough09:33
Keybukdo we know what the network situation there is yet?09:33
fabbioneKeybuk: 2M/256k09:33
Keybukor is it still "here's an ADSL line, enjoy"?09:33
Keybukoh, good.  elmo: no e-mail for you09:34
elmono sprint for me09:34
=== neuralis [n=krstic@hagen.kdb.hr] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
Keybukare you not popping down? :(09:34
ogracant you set up a wireless link from mossop street ? 09:34
mdzdoko?09:34
elmoKeybuk: hey, it beats your current internet situation ;-)09:34
elmoogra: across 10 miles?09:34
elmoyou guys will have your own server09:34
ograsome hops needed indeed ;)09:34
elmowith local mirror, squid, chroots, whatever you want09:34
JaneWelmo: you are doing the server set-up on sunday though, right?09:34
elmoI'll QOS upload so you can kill the down09:34
Mithrandirapache2.2's proxy stuff is much faster than squid. Or so thom claims.09:35
elmoJaneW: nah, distro team sucks I can't be bothered09:35
elmoJaneW: (or, rather: yes)09:35
JaneWelmo: :P09:35
ograheh09:35
jbaileyShould we try and dig up a local PPC box for builds for any portability work?09:35
mdzserver setup party sunday night?09:35
JaneWelmo: thanks *ruffle*09:35
elmoMithrandir: well, whichever, I'm not going to be there, you guys can do what you with it09:35
dokomdz: For OOo build I think about bringing an amd64 mini pc, just want to avoid to bring the monitor and keyboard09:35
JaneWmdz: I'll bring the Amarula09:35
dokodoes somebody has a KVM switch?09:35
mdzdoko: you could do builds on the server09:36
RiddellI'll bring kubuntu CDs09:36
elmodoko: the server will be a ronne class dl38509:36
elmodoko: would that not suffice?09:36
mdzJaneW: excellent!09:36
Riddelllet me know if you want a box for your LUG etc09:36
neuralismdz: we should discuss server testing after the meeting, there seems to be some confusion09:36
ogracan anybody bring a serial mouse i can land until the conference for ltsp testing ? 09:36
elmoanyway, I'm brining a monitor and keyboard09:36
Mithrandirelmo: shiny.09:36
ogras/land/lend/09:36
mdzneuralis: now is OK, we have some extra time09:36
dokoelmo: no, that's ok, as long as we can install test builds09:36
fabbioneelmo: are you going to mirror cdimage as well? (just daily?)09:37
JaneWogra: I think I have one lying around somewhere... may have the round connector - that ok?09:37
elmofabbione: probably won't have space to do full cdimage, only 6x72 drive, but can mirror a subset if you tell me what you want09:37
neuralismdz: when we last spoke, you explained you wanted community-s-t to be an outline of testing steps that humans can carry out, much like we have with LaptopTesting09:37
dokoogra; serial mouse, what is this? ;-P09:37
ograJaneW, the round one is ps209:37
ogradoko, thats what i'm always asking my edubuntu users ;)09:38
fabbioneelmo: dunno.. i think daily/live for big 3 will do09:38
mdzneuralis: yes, and it looks like you've made a good start on that on ServerTesting09:38
fabbioneelmo: no need more than that i think09:38
mdzneuralis: (that was you, right?)09:38
elmofabbione: well, someone let me know by Saturday night ;-)09:38
neuralismdz: yes, that was me; i wasn't under the impression you wanted anything else for that spec?09:38
pittiogra: I might still have a serial mouse in my cellar somewhere if you need it09:38
fabbioneelmo: ok09:38
ograpitti, that would be great 09:39
elmodoko: as I said, I'm not there, someone else'll be in chargeof the box, so 'tever09:39
mdzneuralis: BenC will be coordinating the actual testing with the community09:39
Keybukogra: I have some serial mice somewhere09:39
neuralismdz: BenC looked over ServerTesting and didn't have additions, so i was expecting you'll simply ok the spec so the remainder of the wiki pages can be created09:39
ograah, cool 09:39
ograone is enough :)09:39
mdzneuralis: my reply about the spec was that it didn't seem to reflect what we agreed on (and indeed what you have already worked on)09:39
pittiogra: don't count on mine :)09:39
ograpitti, k09:39
ograKeybuk, so if you could bring one ...09:40
Keybukogra: yup, I'm reasonably sure I know where I put them09:40
ogragreat09:40
Keybukshould be in the loft, somewhere under the mess of wires I added last weekend :p09:40
ogralots of ltsp users will owe you one :)09:40
=== cassidy [n=cassidy@f1-pc174.ulb.ac.be] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
neuralismdz: i altered the spec to leave the 'certification/community testing catalog' spec bits in place, but explicity said we're first approaching the problem via wiki and ServerTesting. would you like me to move all the testing catalog parts to a separate spec?09:41
mdzneuralis: yes, I think that would be best.  we're saying that ServerTesting is a target for dapper, and so the spec should reflect the dapper goals09:42
neuralismdz: okay. is there anything else that you want done?09:42
Mithrandirmdz: is the meeting adjourned?  I don't think the whole distro team needs to be around for the community server testing thingy?09:42
mdzneuralis: thanks for your efforts on those specs09:42
