tepsipakkigood evening <yaawwwn> ;)10:00
mdzkristog proposed a discussion item for the agenda10:00
Keybukmdz: are you going to drive, or shall I?10:00
mdzbut there doesn't seem to be a kristog present10:00
mdzKeybuk: I've got it10:00
mdzdoes anyone know Riccardo Setti  / kristog?10:01
Keybukhe's on #ubuntu-devel10:01
=== kristog [n=kristog@energ63.energ.polimi.it] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
kristoghello 10:01
mdzkristog: you're up10:01
mdztell us what you want to discuss10:01
kristogmdz, * i wanted ask if people.ubuntu.com could provide web space for all UbuntuMembers10:02
kristogas people.debian.org/~developer do10:02
mdzkristog: what would this space be used for?10:02
kristogi , but i guess other people, could need space for put theyr work10:02
mdzcan you give some examples?10:03
kristogmdz, ubuntu work, png, doc, debs10:03
sivanghi all10:03
kristogmdz, take a look on people.debian.org/~giskard10:03
=== sivang waves
jdongmdz: the most common application I can think of would be a personal APT repo10:03
kristogmdz, i need to put a .debdiff file 10:03
mdzkristog: is that your directory?10:03
kristogmdz yes10:03
kristogjdong, no, i don't think so10:03
Keybukjdong: personal APT archives are something that Launchpad intends to provide10:03
ograkristog, well, if you keep *everything in a bzr branch you caqn just use launchpad ;)10:03
jdongkristog: most of the other things I can think of can be attached to malone10:04
mdzjdong: publishing something on people.ubuntu.com lends a certain officiality to it; I'm not sure that should apply to all members when it comes to producing packages10:04
jdongor hosted as bzr branches on LP10:04
=== phanatic [n=phanatic@ubuntu/member/phanatic] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
jdongmdz: yeah, certainly point taken. I'm not voicing an opinion one way or another yet :)10:04
mdzkristog: what is the .debdiff for?10:04
=== Toadstool waves
kristogjdong, yes, but i cannot say to  people that they have to use bzr for *download*  a .deb10:05
mdzkristog: if it's a patch for a package in Ubuntu, it would be better to put it in Launchpad10:05
kristogmdz, yes .debdiff was an example.10:05
jdongkristog: malone is useful for that10:05
kristogbut i cannot attach .deb10:05
jdongkristog: why not?10:05
Keybukmdz: otoh, it does seem ... odd that people.u.c is limited to canonical staff; and not at least core-dev members, no?10:05
mjg59Sorry, hi10:05
raphinkhi10:05
pittihi mjg59 10:05
jdongkristog: I attach debs for backports quite often10:05
kristoghello mjg59 10:05
mdzKeybuk: it's liimted to a pretty arbitrary and inconsistent group of people afaik10:06
=== smurf agrees with keybuk
sivangKeybuk++10:06
Keybuke.g. there is no people.u.c/~mjg5910:06
mdzKeybuk: and I'm not arguing that, only the specific proposal on the table atm10:06
jdongI'd personally lean core-dev and possibly MOTU also10:06
Keybukof course, elmo knows where I live ...10:06
sivanghehe10:06
sivangKeybuk: should have thought about this before :-)10:07
kristogmdz, i use my ~ for this kind of stuff, but people should use it for other things (related to ubuntu)10:07
KeybukI'm not sure that this is something the TB can make a decision on?10:07
mdzKeybuk: not directly, but we should have an opinion10:08
Keybukor, at least, an effectual decision10:08
kristogKeybuk,  i don't know sorry if this is not the right place :(10:08
mjg59I think there are technical arguments in favour of providing a resouce with reasonable bandwidth for developers to distribute files from10:08
Keybukwe give @ubuntu.com e-mail to every member10:08
Keybukso it would fit that they also got people.uc/~ as well10:08
mdzI think that it is entirely appropriate for the project to have a place for contributors to place content, but there is some question in my mind about the particulars10:09
Keybukthe "official distribution" moniker would equally apply if they sent it from that e-mail address, no?10:09
jdongwhat are the use cases for a ~username that malone/launchpad wouldn't be appropriate?10:09
jdongother than the PPA's10:09
Keybukjdong: launchpad lacks download areas  (I've complained about this from a strictly "LP as an SF replacement" POV)10:09
mjg59Well, in the launchpad case there's the basic problem that it doesn't have the functionality and someone would need to write it10:09
jdongmmm, ok, so for _releasing_ arbitrary files10:10
mjg59Whereas the ~ space is just a simple matter of configuration10:10
Keybuknot really10:10
Keybukit needs a box allocated for it10:10
Keybukaccounts copied from launchpad10:10
Keybukaccess control somehow arranged (libpam_lp?)10:10
mjg59Well, that's still likely to be less work than launchpad integration10:10
Keybukssh logins or just sftp?10:10
mdzmjg59: there's a bit more to it than that; there are substantive issues about authentication, access control, quotas, appropriate content, etc. which would need to be included10:10
mjg59But yeah, admittedly there are various issues10:11
ograbut as i understood sabdfl in th epast it shall also provide something to have your own repo with packasges built from your bzr branches10:11
mdzthis should be considered entirely separate from the current rookery setup for canonical, I expect it would be an entirely new service10:11
jdonga home folder sounds like a temporary workaround for desired launchpad features?10:11
Keybukindeed, rookery has been too much of a "staff machine" to just open up10:11
sivangogra: yes, probably as PPA's10:11
mdzogra: yes, it will10:11
kristogmdz, yes, i agree with you.10:11
Keybukit would be too much of an audit10:11
kristogsimira, PPA?10:11
mdzwhich is one of the reasons why there need to be concrete examples of how this service would be used10:11
pittikristog: personal package archives10:11
mdzwhich are not already planned for launchpad10:11
kristogpitti,  thank you.10:11
jdongif we're speaking of LP as a SF, then being a ubuntu member doesn't seem like an appropriate requirement for posting packages to download10:12
sivangmdz: s/not// ?10:12
mdzPPA = personal packages archives = a facility provided by launchpad for publishing .debs in a repository for use with apt10:12
Keybukmdz: much as the existing staff use their people areas?  random files uploaded for other people to download10:12
Keybukit's not just debs10:12
mdzsivang: no10:12
Keybuka quick glance at mine shows various bits and bobs10:12
pittiyeah, I use mine for screenshots, patches, etc., too10:12
=== ogra doesnt dare to look at his rubbish ....
mdzmy public_html has: 1) branches (which now belong on the supermirror)10:13
mdz2) random files which apply to bug reports (which should now be attachments in launchpad)10:13
mdz3) packages (which will belong in PPAs soon)10:14
pittimy ~/public_html/bugpatterns/ is an interesting case10:14

keescookit's a repo for apport to check for common crashes10:16
pittimdz, sivang: I recently announced it to ubuntu-devel, let me find the archive link10:16
smurfpitti: "staging area" isn't entirely appropriate here, I'd call it "random junk"  ;-)10:16

pittikeescook: thanks10:17
Keybukmjg59: at that point we're talking about more than just a "download area" -- and have elevated it to "shell account"10:17
mjg59Keybuk: Right10:18
mjg59Keybuk: I think that useful things have come out of that, and so we ought to consider whether to provide a similar service10:18
mdzshell accounts for all members would not be workable10:18
mdzfor -core-dev, possibly10:18
kristogmdz, why not for all member?10:19
mdzbut realistically, Canonical is the only entity in a position to offer this service (and there is a substantial amont of work associated with it, both for setup and manitenance) so we would need to demonstrate a benefit to them10:19
mdzkristog: security10:19
kristogmdz, please explain :) 10:20
mdzkristog: handing out shell accounts as liberally as we grant membership is unwise for security reasons.10:20
mdzthat won't fly10:20
Keybukkristog: giving shell accounts on a machine in the canonical data centre to every ubuntu member ... it would be hard to get canonical to accept that risk10:20
ajmitchkristog: you've seen the issues with debian infrastructure at times, with ssh/gpg keys left open & abused10:20
Keybukajmitch: it takes a year or more to get access to the debian machines10:21
ajmitchthe bar for membership is much lower than that for debian10:21
kristogajmitch, yes, but afaik only 1 time we had problem10:21
Keybukour membership process is MUCH easier10:21
=== jenda [n=jenda@ubuntu/member/jenda] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
kristogKeybuk, yes, but we should trust people10:21
kristogwe as ubuntu10:21
ajmitchKeybuk: I agree, and many members wouldn't understand some of the issues with security either10:21
mdzkristog: in response to your /msg, becoming a Debian developer is nothing like becoming an ubuntu member10:21
=== sivang feels this could be beneficial for core-dev, can't really see how it's integrated for members.
smurfkristog: security unfortunately doesn't work with a "should trust" metric10:22
kristogmdz, yes, but it's not a signed gpg key that make the difference10:22
mdzkristog: and, I might add, Debian has had more than one disastrous security incident involving a breach of one or more of those shell accounts10:22
Keybukkristog: why?  I wouldn't expect it to take long before people applied for membership simply to get a free shell account, and then used that for various illegal activities10:22
sivangthat's a very good point.10:22
kristogsivang, yes, poeple is bad10:22
kristogbut i guess we shouldn't start with this kind of argomentation.10:23
kristogfor example : i can attach an illegal mp3 to LP 10:23
Keybukmjg59: thoughts on shell accounts?10:23
=== ompaul [n=ompaul@ubuntu/member/ompaul] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
pittikristog: but you still cannot hack the data center with bug attachments10:24
jdongkristog: you can do a lot more destructive things faster with a shell account10:24
smurfkristog: but it's obvious when you do that. What you do in your own shell account somewhere isn't.10:24
jdongand SF also has compromise issues with their shell servers10:24
mjg59Keybuk: I think it would be desirable to provide them, but as noted it's not reasonable to offer them to all members10:24
mdzI expect that shell accounts would not be an option for a broad subset of contributors10:25
mdzit's simply too much security risk and administrative hassle10:25
pitti++10:25
mdzmore likely would be a WebDAV share10:25
mdzor sftp10:25
pittialso, web space is easy to get and cheap or free nowadays10:25
=== keescook agrees
jdongpitti: heh, tell me that as a broke student :)10:25
pittijdong: students usually have shell accounts in universities10:26
mdzmy universities gave me free web space and shell accounts10:26
pittiI certainly had *more* bw and storage space than I have now :)10:26
mdzsome of which I still have10:26
mdzbeing a student should be an advantage in this case, not a disadvantage10:26
Keybukjdong: http://pages.google.com/10:26
pittiso, an upload area would be great, but shell accounts are not necessary for most use cases10:26
pittiso I wouldn't give them out by default10:26
kristogmdz, pitti yes, but i'm doing officially ubuntu work why i cannot put it on an official ubuntu space?10:26
sivangpitti++10:27
pittiif a particular member has an idea for a project that requires shell access, this can still be discussed on a case-by-case basis10:27

SeveasI'd love to be able to put the various rss feeds I maintain on people.ubuntu.com -- bandwith usage is killing me 10:27
pittikristog: as I said, an upload area (sftp only) would be nice10:27
sivangpitti: like specific mass process scripts for certain stuff.10:28
kristogpitti, right.10:28
pittisivang: since that will have a considerable resource impact, it should be discussed with the admins anyway10:28
sivangpitti: indeed, that's why it's in only special and specific cases :)10:28
KeybukSeveas's rss feeds take all the bandwidth away from the archive?10:29
mdzkristog: I have done work on a lot of projects without having those projects give me a free shell account or web space10:29
ajmitchnote that we do have tiber (revu.tauware.de) for some stuff10:29
pittiI know that many tasks require mass-processing (I'm hogging rookery with all sorts of weird stuff, too), but we shouldn't give that away *by default* to everyone10:29
mdzit's not a typical arrangement10:29
sivangindeed.10:29
ajmitcha number of MOTUs have accounts & space on tiber10:29

sivangare they canonical machines?10:30
dholbachno, revu.tauware.de10:30
ajmitchnot in the data centre10:30
sivangah10:30
mdzI think we have a consensus that it would be useful to have a service to allow some Ubuntu contributors to publish content on the web at no cost10:30
mdzbut further discussion is needed (esp. with the CC and Canonical) to estiblish the specifics of what can be put into place10:31

mjg59Any of them here?10:34
mdzdholbach: did you receive responses to your pings of any of those?10:34
ajmitchhm, none of those really sound familiar :)10:34
dholbachmdz: I notified you about each and everyone of them10:34
Keybuk. o O { I know a Flash Bristow ;) }10:34
mdznone of them are MOTU yet10:34
dholbachmdz: I need to compile that list (people <-> date of mail) still -  I was too busy.10:35
ajmitchmdz: I presume that launchpad can't enforce that people have to be members of one team to try & join another?10:35
mdzdholbach: did you send me the template you use to explain the process, i.e. joining motu first?10:35
mdzajmitch: I don't think so, no10:35
Keybukajmitch: we don't always enforce a strict ubuntu-dev -> ubuntu-core-dev progression10:35
mdzwe could set it up so that no one could apply for -core-dev directly, and would need to ask an administrator10:35
Keybukajmitch: some people have gone straight to the latter10:35
mdzanyone applying for -core-dev ought to know who to talk to10:36
mdzand it's in launchpad anyway10:36
dholbachmdz: I sent you a explanation you put in the launchpad team description10:36
Keybukmdz: that would be tricky ... we'd have to keep a manual list of those people10:36
Keybukthe fact that we have a little date-sorted pending table atm is rather useful10:36
mdzdholbach: ah, right, that's where I stashed it10:36
mdzKeybuk: I think it's useful for -dev, but not really for -core-dev10:36
mdzit's much smaller and more stable10:37
mdzthe vast majority of the applicants there are random people probing the system to see what they can do10:37

jdongI've found myself scratching at more and more bug reports10:43

ograright, but would ayou do it for plain universe ? :)10:47
ograright, thankls :)10:47

ogra:)10:48
ajmitchjdong: ktorrent/acidrip were new packages or fixes?10:48
jdongajmitch: primarily fixes10:48
mdzjdong: it's a good idea to have a number of uploads reviewed and uploaded by an existing developer, so that we have some background on your work10:48

mdzI'm going to improve the documentation about what we expect from developer applicants10:51

mdzbasically what we need is enough information to make a judgement10:52

kristogKeybuk, mjg59  mdz thank you :)11:28
mdzkeescook: you're up next11:28
keescookI'm Kees Cook, and I'm part of the Ubuntu Security Team.  I've been busy triaging CVE reports that impact Ubuntu.  Outside of the security updates I've been doing, I've also done bug triage/fixing in edgy, and have been making progress towards becoming an official Debian Developer.  (http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=kees@outflux.net).11:28
keescookSee https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KeesCook for details about my recent packaging work.  (I can paste a summary here too, if you want.)11:28
keescookWith MOTU standing, I would continue doing the same work as linked above, but I'd also be in a better position to help with merges and mentoring.  I'd like to someday become ubuntu-core-dev.  Thanks!11:29
=== kristog hugs dholbach, phanatic sivang
ograkristog, congrats !11:29
mdzpitti: I assume you've been sponsoring his uploads; what has your experience been?11:29
phanaticcongrats kristog :)11:29
=== sivang hugs kristog
kristogphanatic, ogra, thank you.11:29
keescookI asked crimsun to join us, but I think he is busy.  (he sponsored one of my uploads too)11:29
pittikeescook quickly became familiar with basic packaging and with all sorts of differnt irky patch systems11:29
pittiI had to correct his very first updates, but the current ones have a consistent high quality and no major bugs11:30
mdzpitti: would you say that you generally upload his packages unmodified now?11:30
pittihe's a quick learner, doesn't hesitate to ask questions and is very curious about everything11:30
pittimdz: yes, I do11:30

pittiI check the debdiff, but there have been no necessary fixes11:31
mdzgreat to hear11:31
pittiand he's very good at analyzing flaws11:31
pittiwriting exploits on his own, etc11:31
pittihe certainly does not yet know everything about packaging11:32
Keybukisn't he supposed to be fixing them? :)11:32
keescookthanks to pitti's eye and mentoring, I got debian sponsorship for some packages very quickly.11:32
mdzKeybuk,mjg59: I've talked with kees on more than one occasion already so we are fairly familiar already11:32
pittiKeybuk: that too :)11:32
mdzpitti: he needs to know the basics, and enough to know when he doesn't know ;-)11:32
Keybukmy concern is that Kees hasn't done much packaging work of his own yet11:32
pittibut he now knows enough for me to have him do uploads on his own 11:32
Keybukwe rejected jdong earlier for only having two sponsored uploads11:32
Keybukand kees doesn't show many more to the archive, proper11:33
mdzKeybuk: not only that; even for those uploads there was no feedback11:33
pittihe did some non-security uploads to edgy, too11:33
KeybukI'm inclined to treat the security archive much like the backports archive, as a separate entity11:33
Keybukmdz: do we have feedback on kees uploads to edgy itself?11:33
mdzI'd disagree, given that the backports system to date has been purely rebuilds and hands-off on packaging11:34
keescookKeybuk: I can ask crimsun what he thought; he handled my debdiff for abuse-sdl.11:34
ograi see 8 tagged with his name11:34
keescook(which were also taken by the debian maintainer)11:34
keescookhttps://launchpad.net/people/keescook/+packages  :)11:35
mdzKeybuk: yes, security uploads via pitti11:35
Keybukmdz: as I said, I'm inclined to treat security differently11:35
mdzKeybuk: security uploads _to edgy_11:35
Keybukespecially as group membership has no bearing over it11:35
pittiKeybuk: it does11:36
pittiKeybuk: upload privs to -security are no different from the privs to upload to edgy11:36
Keybukpitti: I thought security had its own keyring with just you in it?11:36
pittiKeybuk: no, every MOTU can upload universe apcakges, and every core dev to main -security11:37
pittiKeybuk: I'm just the only one who approves them in the queue11:37
pitti(so far)11:37
pittiouch, it's too late to type -- 'apcakges' *cough*11:37
mdzuber privileges are required to actually push the update to users11:37
mdzbut it is more or less like uploading to -updates11:38
mdzwhere the upload needs to be approved by an archive admin11:38
pittiso far Kees has been very cautious when it came to stuff he didn't yet know about11:38
pittiand he has shown to be very picky about reading debdiffs, etc.11:38
keescookI don't want my name on broken stuff.  :)11:38
Keybukyou dpatch'd python2.3? :)11:39
=== Keybuk tries to understand the changelog; ignoring doko's wrong clock
keescookKeybuk: it lacks dpatch, and as a result, on a clean build, my original patch failed.11:39
keescooki.e. at the time, I didn't have clean chroots (now I do)11:40
keescookand they had dpatch, but the buildd's didn't, obviously.11:40
Keybukalmost all of your sponsored uploads have been to main11:40
Keybukwhat kind of thing do you want to do in universe?11:40
keescookspecifically, I'd like to watch over inkscape, and fix games.11:40
pitti(inkscape is main, for the record)11:41
keescooker, whoops, yeah.11:41
keescookthere are things I use in universe as well: sendmail, clamav11:41
keescookso I'd like to see those kept safe, up to date, etc.11:41
Keybukkeescook: are you planning to join the MOTU Games Team?11:41
Keybukor either of the Ubuntu Games teams? :p11:42
pittiwe also have some universe tasks about cleaning up library duplication (which is sort of security related, too); would you be interested in helping with that?11:42
keescookKeybuk: if there is need.  :)11:42
pittilike, getting rid of openssl097, old libdb versions, libtasn1-2, etc.11:42
keescookpitti: sure, is there a history of that process anywhere for me to read?11:42
pittikeescook: let's talk about that after the meeting11:43
mdzthere's a specification even11:43
=== keescook makes a note
pittiyeah, DapperDuplicatedPackages or so11:43
mdzreducing-duplication11:43
mdzmjg59: any questions for keescook?11:44
mjg59I think I'm pretty happy wiht him11:46
mdzKeybuk: anything more?11:47
Keybukmdz: nothing more11:47
mdzok, votes11:47
mjg59+1 based on the recommendations from others11:47
mdz+1 based on substantial Ubuntu and Debian contributions, feedback from pitti and prior personal interviews11:47
Keybuk-1, not enough uploads to universe at this time11:48
pittiKeybuk: fair point11:48
mdz2/3 majority, welcome keescook11:48
pittikeescook: welcome to the team!11:48
keescookwoo!11:48
dholbachcongratulations keescook!11:48
mdzkeescook: I expect you to make Keybuk's reservations inapplicable in short order11:48
ograwelcome keescook !11:49
=== dholbach hugs keescook
keescookKeybuk: given the UVF, what areas should I focus on in the near-term for universe?11:49
mdzkeescook: otherwise it will come back to haunt your -core-dev application :-)11:49
=== keescook hugs everyone
=== Lure_ [n=lure@clj46-234.dial-up.arnes.si] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
pittikeescook: openssl transition would be most welcome11:49
Keybukkeescook: that would be better off co-ordinated with the MOTU than me11:49
keescookKeybuk: okay, noted.  I will bug dholbach.  ;)11:49
pittithat is, if universe remains unfrozen for some time until release11:49
mdzkeescook: dholbach can guide you there11:49
mdzok, that's all of the pending candidates I saw11:50
dholbachkeescook: tomorrow? :-)11:50
keescookdholbach: sure thing.  :)11:50
mdzis there any other business?11:50
dholbachrock and roll11:50
KeybukI had one item of "further business"11:50
mdzKeybuk: by all means11:50
Keybukthe original TB appointments (mine and yours) were for two years, and mjg59's I believe was for one year11:50
Keybukall of these expire at the end of this month11:50
Keybukdo we have any word from the sabdfl what the plan is11:50
mdzwow, the time has passed quickly11:50
Keybukhasn't it just11:50
Seveas(this also holds for the CC)11:50
KeybukI suspect the answer is "ask Mark"11:51
Keybukinterestingly, his technically should expire too ;)11:51
mdzemailing technical-board would be a good start11:51
mdzif nothing happens there, I have a call scheduled with him later this week and will raise the issue then11:51
mdz(have made a note of it)11:52
mdzKeybuk: the launchpad expiry dates say 2007, but what you said sounds more correct11:52
mdzanything more?11:53
Keybukyeah, the LP stuff is a bit random as it's just when the groups were moved around, etc.11:53

pittiok, we can discuss this later, nevermind11:54
