| bradb | lifeless: I don't know that there's a correct answer to that question, but it would probably be more sane than not. | 01:30 |

| lifeless | I was wondering if the 'group actions when emailing' code was grouping new bug mail too | 01:46 |
| lifeless | because its a new bug no-one can possibly have followed up on it immediately | 01:47 |

| sfllaw | Per month? | 02:02 |
| sfllaw | I don't know specifically. | 02:02 |
| sfllaw | Lemme look at my charts. | 02:02 |
| sfllaw | We seem to get about 1000 per week. | 02:03 |
| sfllaw | So about 3500-4000 per month. | 02:03 |
| bluefoxicy | I thought the number was increasing overtime? | 02:04 |

| sfllaw | Ah. CodeSourcery. | 02:11 |
| sfllaw | I'll ask scjody about it. | 02:11 |

| sfllaw | I mean Carlos O'Donnel. | 02:12 |
| sfllaw | Someone I know at CodeSourcery. | 02:12 |
| lifeless | ah cool | 02:12 |
| lifeless | altogether now | 02:12 |
| lifeless | 'its a small small world' | 02:13 |
| bluefoxicy | sfllaw: off the top of your head do you have a number for somewhere around say July 2004? I tried doing a search for all bugs (oldest first) of all statuses and importances, including duplicates, in Ubuntu; results showed around 350-400 bugs between 6912 through 7250 being in Ubuntu | 02:13 |
| bluefoxicy | perhaps the search doesn't do what I think :) | 02:13 |
| sfllaw | bluefoxicy: We didn't keep track of figures then. | 02:13 |
| sfllaw | You might be able to bribe kiko or bradb to extract them for you. | 02:13 |
| bluefoxicy | (I only looked at bugs between 7/01 and 7/30) | 02:13 |
| bluefoxicy | sfllaw: ah. Okay. I guess I'll wait for kiko to get up tomorrow then. | 02:14 |
| bradb | lifeless: verifyObject(IFoo, foo) raises a BrokenImplementationError claiming that foo doesn't provide method bar, when really it appears the problem is that the current user doesn't have the perms to access method bar. does raising an exception there seem correct to you? | 02:14 |
| sfllaw | Of course, back then we were using Bugzilla. | 02:14 |
| sfllaw | So we may have lost this data. | 02:14 |
| lifeless | foo is presumably a security proxy ? | 02:15 |
| bradb | lifeless: yeah | 02:15 |
| bluefoxicy | sfllaw: well, the dates are still in the bugs; https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/6912 for example shows it affects Ubuntu and was reported on 2004-07-01 | 02:15 |
| Ubugtu | Malone bug 6912 in linux-source-2.6.15 "kernel-source-2.4.26: Kernel panic with NFS traffic over IPsec" [Unknown,Unknown] | 02:15 |
| bradb | I'm also wondering if I really mean to be verifying the object, or instead doing verifyClass or even IFoo.providedBy. | 02:16 |
| bluefoxicy | sfllaw: but if the data is lost then I'll just have to go with what I can get. :) | 02:16 |
| lifeless | and bar is part of IFoo ? | 02:16 |
| bradb | lifeless: yeah. works fine when logged in as priv'd user | 02:16 |
| sfllaw | bluefoxicy: Is this for some kind of research? | 02:16 |
| === Keybuk [n=scott@quest.netsplit.com] has joined #launchpad | ||
| lifeless | so, I'm not 100% on the underlying mechanism of the security proxy here. But - verifyObject will be probing for all attributes, and should be triggering an access denied exception when it tries to probe for bar | 02:17 |
| lifeless | why are you calling verifyObject ? | 02:17 |
| bluefoxicy | sfllaw: It's not really that important, just flashing a bunch of numbers in a presentation I'm drawing up to explain an idea I had for pitti's automated-problem-reports spec | 02:17 |
| bradb | lifeless: I want some kind of verification that things are providing the right interfaces | 02:18 |
| bradb | (in tests) | 02:18 |
| === bluefoxicy sticks the thing up on his server | ||
| lifeless | bradb: is verifyObject called outside the test code path ? | 02:19 |
| bradb | lifeless: maybe verifyClass is more appropriate | 02:19 |
| bradb | lifeless: I'm calling it directly in a doctest. | 02:19 |
| lifeless | ok | 02:19 |
| lifeless | bradb: local interrupt, bb in a couple minutes | 02:20 |
| bradb | sure, np | 02:20 |
| sfllaw | bluefoxicy: Neato. | 02:21 |
| bluefoxicy | uh. Hmm. Server not listening. *goes across the room for a bit* | 02:25 |
| === rpedro [n=rpedro@87-196-71-56.net.novis.pt] has joined #launchpad | ||
| lifeless | bradb: so | 02:35 |
| lifeless | verifyClass will probably fail the same way | 02:35 |
| lifeless | (it will attempt to find an unboundmethod on the class, and that would allow security holes if you could get at that, then run it with the instance that is the proxy | 02:35 |
| lifeless | I think your test for 'do we get the right interface back' needs to either: | 02:36 |
| lifeless | - be done with a user that has access to the interface as a whole or | 02:36 |
| lifeless | - be done with a more restricted interface that is safe to give to everyone | 02:36 |
| lifeless | - or ask if it implements, not if it verifies | 02:37 |
| bradb | verify class seems to work | 02:37 |
| lifeless | surprising | 02:37 |
| bradb | er, verifyClass | 02:37 |
| bradb | i'm not surprised, tbh | 02:37 |
| bradb | because BugNomination is not security-wrapped | 02:38 |
| bradb | but an object returned by bug.addNomination will be | 02:38 |
| bluefoxicy | sfllaw: http://bluefox.kicks-ass.org/stuff/bluefox/slides/slides/img4.html <-- that slide is where I intended the data go; of course, it's just flashing numbers around, considering we already have the drinking-from-the-firehose spec pointing out that the bug load is too high. | 02:38 |
| lifeless | bradb: so testing approach wise, heres a thought | 02:39 |
| lifeless | bradb: verifying that objects implement the interface is best done very close to the code - i.e. within the security proxy boundary, in content-class-level tests | 02:39 |
| === mdz [n=mdz@studiocity-motorola-bsr1-70-36-194-85.vnnyca.adelphia.net] has joined #launchpad | ||
| lifeless | bradb: outside that boundary, you may not be able to access the entire interface, so just asking if it claims to implement is enough - as long as you have detailed tests at the lower layer | 02:40 |
| bradb | lifeless: right. i guess i still find it confusing that verifyObject would raise an error in this case. maybe it's not easy to say what the right behaviour should be, in that case. | 02:42 |
| bradb | though, i think not raising an error is easier to understand | 02:43 |
| lifeless | well | 02:49 |
| lifeless | it cant verify it | 02:49 |
| lifeless | so verifyObject *should* raise an error :0 | 02:49 |
| bradb | lifeless: that it can't verify it seems like an implementation detail though | 02:51 |
| lifeless | errr | 02:52 |
| lifeless | I'm not sure how that matters | 02:52 |
| bradb | I guess I can see how it makes sense. | 02:53 |
| === Rui [n=rmps@89.152.8.64] has joined #launchpad | ||
| lifeless | when you ask verifyObject to verify something, it checks the entire interface to see that your current code can treat all the attributes named as attributes, and callables as callables | 02:56 |
| lifeless | it does not matter *why* you cant use a specific bit in the right way, it only matters that you cannot. | 02:56 |
| bradb | lifeless: right | 02:58 |

| ddaa | My uninformed performance guess is that most of cost lies in server round-trip. SVN import almost certainly do many more requests than they have to. CVS is probably better off. But in both cases we are still server-roundtrip bound, and we can probably do pipelining. | 12:54 |
| ddaa | But since it's a guess and not a profiling result, it's virtually worthless. | 12:54 |
| ddaa | Mh, actually, just since wednesday 07:10, it seems | 12:56 |

| === salgado [n=salgado@200-171-140-32.dsl.telesp.net.br] has joined #launchpad | ||
| SteveA | ddaa: so, if we can get a tarball of the whole svn repository, we could do the import from a local server | 02:08 |
| SteveA | and much reduce the network roundtripping | 02:08 |
| ddaa | That would indeed be an option. But we had a bad experience with tarballs of cvs repos in the past. The specific issue is that we were sometimes given only a partial tarball that did not include the CVS config information. | 02:09 |
| ddaa | There's also the issue that tarballs may give a a transitory state of the repo. | 02:10 |
| SteveA | what do you mean "transitory state"? | 02:10 |
| ddaa | things like commit-in-progress | 02:10 |
| ddaa | half done modifications | 02:10 |
| SteveA | I don't think that would be an issue for svn | 02:10 |
| SteveA | but even so, it would allow you to get the older history | 02:10 |
| SteveA | and then just update for the newer stuff | 02:11 |
| ddaa | it's an issue for any sort of database where you break the transaction abstraction. | 02:11 |
| ddaa | the problem is not about the older stuff, it's more that we may end up with an invalid repository, or with a repository where the last commits are incorrect | 02:11 |
| SteveA | so, import it ignoring commits for "the last 3 days" | 02:12 |
| jamesh | ddaa: the commits in an fsfs Subversion repo should be atomic | 02:12 |
| SteveA | then update the last three days against the actual live repository | 02:12 |
| jamesh | they'll either be committed, or they won't be | 02:12 |
| ddaa | jamesh: they might be atomic on the systema as a whole, but there still can be a race with the time it takes to generate the tarball. | 02:12 |
| ddaa | I do not know the details. | 02:13 |
| ddaa | But it's a problem congruent to why one should not back-up live filesystems with "cat", but use "dump" instead. | 02:13 |
| ddaa | SteveA: the "import up to some point in the near past" thing is possible | 02:14 |
| ddaa | but that does not alleviate my concern about overall repository consistency. | 02:14 |
| ddaa | maybe it's a misplaced concern, i do not know enough about svn | 02:14 |
| lifeless | there is a protocol in svn | 02:15 |
| lifeless | called 'dump | 02:15 |
| ddaa | oh, right | 02:15 |
| lifeless | it is safe | 02:15 |
| ddaa | We could use that. | 02:15 |
| === lifeless removes the anal plug | ||
| lifeless | gnight all | 02:15 |

| bluefoxicy | I haven't seen you in a coon's age, or whatever the term is | 10:51 |
| === LarstiQ nods | ||
| LarstiQ | had some shifts in priorities | 10:51 |
| bluefoxicy | I'm trying to get a job; meanwhile I've been spitting out random ideas, tracking what's going on in Ubuntu, generally trying to do whatever to keep from being bored. | 10:53 |
| bluefoxicy | I specced out a hardened team like the one in Gentoo for Ubuntu, just to amuse myself; nobody'd ever set something like that up, it's a battlefield. Also I took interest in pitti's automated crash reporter and came up with a way to keep the massive workload of sifting through reports in check; and am looking at isolating probable security vulnerabilities using the reports. | 10:55 |
| === Myk0n [n=hydrus@81.20.248.70] has joined #launchpad | ||
| LarstiQ | that does sound like you are keeping yourself busy | 10:56 |

| === LarstiQ grins | ||
| === scotth [n=scotth@157.182.209.170] has left #launchpad [] | ||
| bluefoxicy | LarstiQ: currently I need to catch one of these guys when they're not busy and bribe them to get a couple statistics out of the launchpad database for me ;) But it's not a priority | 10:59 |
| LarstiQ | bluefoxicy: you could try mailing launchpad-users? | 11:00 |
| bluefoxicy | I think users don't have the kind of access I need. I basically need bug counts per month for Ubuntu, and possibly some other stuff (It would be interesting to also graph the number of bugs closed; number of duplicates; number of confirmed bugs; and number of newly triaged bugs) | 11:04 |
| bluefoxicy | But it's not that important, since it's just to illustrate a problem that's already known. | 11:05 |
| LarstiQ | -users is a way to communicate with the devs that is less prone to being lost than a request on irc | 11:05 |
| bluefoxicy | ah | 11:05 |
| LarstiQ | I suppose you could also try a support ticket on launchpad | 11:05 |
