Keybukmdz: errrr05:06
mdzasac: your agenda item?05:06
mdz(asac) Alexander wants to go over his firefox packaging changes with Ian.05:06
cjwatsonthat was one I added on asac's behalf to ensure that that got done soon05:07
iwjasac: Sure, how about right after this meeting ?05:07
mdzsounds like something the two of you could take care of out of band, rather than in this meeting05:07
cjwatson(since it was in his report)05:07
cjwatsonit certainly doesn't need to happen in the meeting05:07
mdzok05:07

mdzasac: yes, that's come up with upstream already.  need to connect the person who wrote it with upstream to get it into shape05:08
mdznext agenda item: Will the following specs make release? (Scott James Remnant, Colin Watson)05:09
asacmdz: fine. Can you CC me, so I know the author?05:09
mvoasac: thep wrote it, hes around quite often in irc05:09
Keybukright05:09
Keybukiwj: your spec update didn't include any estimate of whether winmodem-support or automated-testing-deployment might make the release?05:09
Keybukwhat's the status of those two specs?05:09
iwjautomated-testing-deployment> Is largely decoupled from the release cycle.  So since it wasn't urgent for feature freeze it got put on hold at Keybuk's request.05:09
mdzasac: mvo should have his contact info; I don't have it to hand05:09
asacmdz: ok ... noted ... will ping mvo05:10
Keybuk*nods* the udev-* stuff was higher priority -- but if you started on that now, would you complete it before the release?05:10
iwjwinmodem-support> It is now evident that it won't make the release.  I've been chasing after udev breakage the last day or two when I had hoped to be fixing up and promoting sl-modem-daemon.05:10
mdziwj: even so, there's little potential to benefit from it for the release unless it's deployed soon05:10
iwjmdz: Indeed.05:10
iwjAlthough one benefit will be for security testing.05:10
cjwatsonHow long would winmodem-support take, out of curiosity?05:11
tfheenand we'll be gearing up, not down as we get closer to the release.05:11
iwjcjwatson: I spoke to mjg59 and I got the impression it was just a matter of putting together existing stuff in a slightly sane way.05:11
iwjI can get automated-testing running here out of cron with a week's work or so if I don't do anything much else that week.05:11
mdzI said the same thing about it in November.05:11
iwjmdz: Right, but I have the hardware now (since last week).05:12
Keybukok, otherwise your specs are now in good order; thanks especially for taking on some of the work from me05:13
iwjNP05:13
Keybukudev-mdadm didn't take you as long as you feared?05:13
Keybuk(or is the spec status in LP wrong?)05:13
mdzif that's true, we will get more value out of automated testing than winmodem-support, since it should benefit a larger proportion of users05:14
iwjudev-mdadm was more straightforward than I feared but less easy than the spec said :-).05:14
mdzbut winmodem-support is worth pushing in late if it's not too intrusive for users who don't have the hardware05:14
iwjKeybuk: LP> Oh, I probably forgot to update the status.05:14
Keybukgood.  the testing spec is the most important one to get done next, as that will be useful in the shortest time scale05:14
fabbioneiwj: next week i am going to stress test the udev-* on the systems i have home that suck at bringing up disks at a normal speed05:14
Keybukand as mdz just said, we should also get winmodem-support in, even past FF05:15
tfheenmdz: I would want it properly regression-tested so we don't end up loading modules which destabilise the system, since loads and loads of laptops have winmodem hardware.05:15
iwjmdz, Keybuk: Can I get you two to agree on priorities so know what I want to be working on ? :-)05:15
mdztfheen: afaik, they're already loading the appropriate modules05:15
Keybukiwj: I think we just did agree on priorities :p05:15
iwjfabbione: Right.  I think you'll find it's fine.05:15
mdziwj: it sounds like we do05:15
fabbioneiwj: i am sure it will be fine... i like to be the devil advocate ;)05:15
tfheenmdz: not my laptop at least.05:15
iwjOK, I'll do the winmodem support first since it's probably smaller.05:15
Keybuk*blink*05:16
mdziwj: talk it over with Keybuk out of band05:16
iwjmdz: OK05:16
mdzmoving on to mvo05:16
Keybukmvo: dist-upgrader-fixes05:16
mvodist-upgrader-fixes> -> Half is done, a backport of apt fixes is requested (DPkg::StopOnErrors patch, no changes to existing codepathes). Biggestet MISSING thing is runing the frontend and the backend in two different processes. this is prototyped, but python lacks a mechanism to pass file descriptors over sockets between processes. this is added in update-manager (fdsend module) now, so we can use this for the next release (then we will ha05:16
mvove https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/dist-upgrader-arch-any too)05:16
Keybukthere wasn't anything in your report saying whether it'd miss FF but be ready for the Release, be ready for FF, or miss the Release05:17
mvosome bits are ready now05:17
Keybukwill the missing bits be ready before the release?  (ideally soon)?05:17
mvothe process seperation will miss release unless we backport the fdsend module to edgy05:17
mdzI don't think we should make major structural changes to the upgrader at this point05:17
mvoand for the better error handling I would like to add a patch to edgy apt05:18
mvoagreed05:18
cjwatsonSRU stuff is later on the agenda05:18
mdzmvo: what's the potential benefit of the StopOnErrors backport?05:18

cjwatsonthat has made significant process since we last talked, according to Till's update05:20
cjwatsonso I would like to know roughly how much longer it's expected to take, to see if it's worth an FF exception now05:21
tkamppeterI have made the first driver packages and put them up on OpenPrinting05:21
tkamppeterAnd I have updated the sites CGI scripts so that the packages are shown, added install instruction, and announced the new service.05:22

tkamppeterFor making a source .deb which auto-downloads all available packages when building. I have some questions:05:23
mdzthe spec calls for changes to PrinterDrake, which isn't shipping in this release05:23
tkamppeterIs it possible to convert a source RPM into a .deb source (.orig.gz, .diff.gz, dsc)?05:23
pittimdz: these parts aren't crucial at all AFAICS, just nice to have (better integration)05:24
tfheentkamppeter: you can't download anything off the net when you build a package.05:24
=== giftnudel_ [n=mb@p54A93CD0.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
pittitkamppeter: not universally; what do you need that for?05:24
pittitfheen: the idea is something like 'debian/rules upstream-update'05:24
cjwatsontkamppeter: this should be a proper source package, not one converted from another format, IMO05:25
mdzthis implementation sounds less and less like the summary of the spec05:25
tkamppeterThe idea which was brought in for Ubuntu was making Ubuntu .deb packages from the available distribution-independent driver packages in an automated way.05:25
pittitfheen: i. e. at some point you fetch the stuff from openprinting, then update the source package, and run the tests, etc.05:25

Keybukcaught it :p05:26
mdzKubuntu Upgrader needs patches backported to kdelibs, kdebase and adept but also the feisty version of python-kde3 backported, which means backporting also python-qt3 and sip4-qt3, is that OK to go into edgy-updates after the usual SRU process? (Jonathan Riddell)05:26
mdzouch05:26
Riddellmostly just a warning05:26
Riddellwe need the fesity python-kde3 for the new embedded konsole05:27
mdzmy gut feeling just based on the scope of the changes is that we should release this with feisty and not backport it to edgy05:27
Riddelland that needs the feisty versions of python-qt3 and sip05:27
Riddellmdz: that defeats the point of a dist-upgrader, which is very badly needed05:27
mdzRiddell: it doesn't; it just makes it one release later05:28
Riddellthere's only limited packages that use python-kde3 and -qt, it's possible to test them all for breakage05:28
mdzit doesn't meet the criteria for an SRU05:28
mdzwell, not obviously anyway05:29
mdzit depends on just how poorly the upgrade experience is now, I suppose05:30
mdzbut it's a very large change to weigh against the benefits05:30
Riddelljudging by dapper->edgy very poor05:30
sfllawIs there some way to statically compile for just that app?05:30
tfheenwe need to solve this problem for dapper->next LTS too, at some point.05:30
sfllawThen we could limit the breakage.05:30
pittisfllaw: urgh @ security updates then05:30
tfheensfllaw: that would mean shipping a statically compiled python, I think?05:31
cjwatsonstatically compile> include copies of the relevant modules with the upgrader?05:31
cjwatsonUGLY, but ...05:31
mdzRiddell: have you talked with mvo about it?05:31
mvostatically compile> we would need autobuilder support for that05:31
mvowell, not really, but it would be really good to have that05:31
cjwatsonI'm still convinced that you already have it05:31
mvowe may have arch-any upload support, but I'm pretty sure we do not have auto-builder support05:32
cjwatsonwell, might need a bit of a source package restructuring, but I think the archive-side support is all thre05:32
cjwatsonthere05:32
Riddellmdz: yes05:32
mvoits not a .dsc file afterall, just a tarball05:32
cjwatsona source package can spit out anything as long as it goes in a .changes file :)05:32
cjwatsonright, the source package would need to be fixeed05:32

Riddellwhat are the apport bits of update-notifier?05:34
cjwatsonI would love to make ubiquity more consistent between GNOME and KDE as regards crash reporting05:34
mdzI see no reason why we wouldn't want it05:35
pittimodulo some bugs in the Qt/Gnome frontend and qt itself05:35
pittibut it's mostly cosmetics05:35
mdzpitti: is it something you can hand off to Riddell for most of the integration work?05:35
pittiRiddell: calling apport-checkreports and displaying a tray icon or calling apport05:35
pittimdz: I'm happy to work with him to get it going05:35
pittithe u-n bits for apport are entirely GTK-independent05:35
pittiwell, almost, the tray icon needs different treatment, I guess05:35
pittibut the branch just arrived today, so it's quite on the edge of FF05:36
pittihow'bout me uploading apport-qt to the archive today for more widespread testing?05:36
pitti(universe for now)05:36
mdzit's worth having, but only if it doesn't require much wore work for you05:36
pittiRiddell: my principal question is to you, whether you actually want it05:37
mdzdoes it make the difference between having apport in Kubuntu or not?05:37
Riddellpitti: sounds fun, my main worry remains how it interacts with the normal KDE crash handler and how annoyed upstream would get if we replaced it05:37
pittimdz: Michael agreed to help with bug fixing in the qt port itself, so it's just the adept-notifier bits05:37
pittiRiddell: if kcrash intercepts sigsegvs, apport won't kick in05:37
Riddellok, that's an easy way around05:38
pittiRiddell: so it'd only be used for non-KDE programs, as long as you keep krash enabled05:38
Riddellmdz: it would yes05:38
pittiand that depends on how happy upstream is with the krash reports they get05:38
Riddellpitti: there's a couple people who have been doing adept patches during feisty as well as myself so there's people to help with thfat05:38
=== Riddell wonders why people assume the KDE crash handler is called krash
mdzI can't imagine why05:39
dholbachhehe :)05:39
mdz...05:39
kwwiiwhile we are on the subject, the apport icons (from the last meeting), a first version is ready and the final icons should be done soon05:39
fabbioneROFL05:39
pittikwwii: Troy sent me some, they look really nice!05:39
KeybukRiddell: you realise that it now has to be05:39
mdzpitti: ok, are you finished with your agenda item?05:40
kwwiipitti: exactly, I am going to touch them up a bit, but they will be done soon05:40
pittimdz: so, the decision seems to be 'yes, we want it'?05:40
Keybukyes please05:40
pittimdz: ok, then I'll put it into the archive today and discuss integration with Riddell05:40
mdzpitti: of course we do; it's a question of whether we can get it finished soon enough05:40
Riddellaction: pitti to upload and riddell to evaluate that it doesn't break with current KDE stuff and find someone to do adept-updater work05:40
pittiACTION: discuss adept-notifier integration of apport (pitti/Riddell)05:40
pittiheh, snap again05:41
mdzwe already covered StopOnError earlier05:41
mdz(dholbach) [WWW]  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2007-February/023233.html05:41
dholbachI think we all agree, that it would have been nice to get this in earlier, I still wonder if it wouldn't make sense to get xorg 7.2 in still (in terms of maintainability and fixes we'd get from upstream and support for newer devices, etc.)05:41
mdzagenda items which consist solely of URLs are deprecated05:41
pittidoes anyone know whether tepsipakki has the sk1llz for that?05:41
dholbachWhat does the Release team think?05:41
mdzdholbach: basically the same answer as for apport-qt05:42
mdzwe certainly do want it, but we have finite resources and are occupied with other things at the moment05:42
dholbachmdz: I don't think we can have xorg7.2 in universe :)05:42
cjwatsonon the one hand, I'd like to get the driver fixes, but on the other I'm concerned about having nobody dedicated to new bugs coming in05:42
mdzis anyone available to review his packages and upload them?05:42
dholbachcjwatson: we don't have anybody dedicated to old bugs atm too :-/05:42
mdzand who would be responsible for bug reports?05:42
mdzI assume this stuff isn't in Debian yet05:43
cjwatsonwe ought to be able to sync a number of the libraries from Debian experimental05:43
mvoI guess we could do this as a team effort (review+upload)05:43
cjwatsonmdz: I think some of this is merges from experimental05:43
tfheenI'm not happy with it unless we have a bunch of interested people who works on it, actively.05:43
cjwatsonbut I haven't verified05:43
seb128I can review some uploads, I've enough bugs on my list without xorg though05:43
tfheenwe have a bunch of people who can chip in a bit, but that's not really enough.05:44
dholbachcjwatson: he merged a bunch of packages with experimental already05:44
tfheenseb128: and you're already stretching more than last cycle now that you're doing ubuntu-archive stuff.05:44
mdzif we can get a plausible community effort behind it, we can do it05:44
mdzbut someone in core-dev needs to be the point person for it05:44
tfheenmdz: that'd need to happen fairly quickly though.  If we have a team of interested people and merged packages in a week, it can happen.05:44
seb128tfheen: right, I clearly don't intend to spend much efforts on xorg05:44
mdzwhat's needed is to explain the requirements for making this happen for feisty, to the people working on it05:45
cjwatsonsomebody should post to -devel with such an explanation and calling for core-dev assistance05:45
kylemmdz, i'm willing to take point if i need to.05:45
seb128the question is if we think the 7.2 upload would bring bugs_fixed >  new_bugs_brough05:46
cjwatsonif that came from one of the core team it would have more impact05:46
tfheenmdz: I can do that from a RM POV.05:46
mdzget a handle on the scope, estimate a reasonable deadline for completion, form a team which can plausibly respond to bug reports, etc.05:46
kylemi'm sure mjg59 will chip in too, he wants to see some of this stuff in feisty.05:46
Keybuk7.2 doesn't include either input-hotplug or monitor-hotplug/randr 1.2; right?05:46
kylemKeybuk, correct, that's 7.2.1 ;-)05:46
tfheenKeybuk: input-hotplug is easily mergable, but monitor-hotplug is 7.3, AIUI.05:46
mdzit surely brings heaps of hardware-related improvements though05:46
kylemstill doable for feisty thoughh...05:46
cjwatsonkylem: I don't want you doing much of the actual work, but I'd be happy if you're willing to coordinate05:47
mvoI would like to support the effort too05:47
kylemrandr 1.2 needs xserver 1.2.1 which keithp has said he can have release ready for us...05:47
cjwatsonsome of the work will match up with your kernel bits of course05:47
dholbachI'll try to help with forming a team and talk to tepsipakki - should the team present their efforts at the next TB meeting or something?05:47
kylemcjwatson, right, i don't want to do the actual work either. ;-P05:47
mdzcjwatson: would you write up the requirements for ubuntu-devel?  formulate it so that someone needs to put their name in each of the necessary slots in order for it to be approved05:47
fabbionedholbach: there is an X team already05:47
fabbionedholbach: let's use that one05:47
dholbachfabbione: where?05:47
cjwatsonit's modular. the team should get whatever the hell they can into the archive in incremental stages that won't break the world05:47
mdzubuntu-x-swat05:47
fabbionedholbach: ubuntu-x-swat..05:48
dholbachyeah, but who's on that team?05:48
cjwatsonnot wait for a meeting :)05:48
cjwatsonmdz: yes05:48
kylemcjwatson, i'm mostly just concerned about -intel for obvious reasons.05:48
dholbachI didn't to intend to invent a new name05:48
cjwatsonright05:48
mdzACTION: cjwatson to post requirements for X.org 7.2 in feisty to -devel05:48

mdzat a minimum, this should require that the packagers and a couple of other folks step up to join the X team and follow up05:48
ograhow do we mae sure we dont need to roll back everything if they loose interest half way ?05:48
ogra*make05:48
mdzand someone on -core-dev to sponsor them05:48
cjwatsonogra: 16:47 < cjwatson> it's modular. the team should get whatever the hell they can into the archive in incremental stages that won't break the world05:49
mdzand we get a commitment from them05:49
ogracjwatson, but if it does ?05:49
cjwatsonthis should be perfectly doable; our client-side and server-side stuff is already out of sync05:49
cjwatsonogra: we only need to roll back a package or two05:49
ogramdz, exactly, thats what i mean05:49
dholbachfabbione: we all agreed that we don't have somebody who looks after bugs at the moment... that's why I asked 'where' - I wrote the wiki pages for ubuntu-x-swat so I should know :)05:49
cjwatsonI have many concerns, but they don't include needing to roll back everything05:49
fabbionedholbach: right, i thought you wanted to create another LP team05:50
ogracjwatson, mine neither, but being left with a half done update ...05:50
