Specifically, what can be done to detect and prevent this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/soyuz/+bug/127178/comments/1 [04:16] Launchpad bug 127178 in soyuz "change-override.py broken for binary packages" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/127178 - Assigned to Celso Providelo (cprov) [04:16] so it must be ubotu [04:17] mpt, that's all for me today. [04:17] thanks Joey [04:17] jamesh: indeed [04:17] Rinchen: noted [04:17] == Bug tags == [04:18] The tag "registry" has been proposed [04:18] by matsubara [04:18] +1 [04:18] :-) [04:18] matsubara: reasoning? [04:18] what's it supposed to do? [04:18] salgado, your comments? [04:18] examples given: bug 127126, bug 117276, bug 67431, and three others [04:18] Launchpad bug 127126 in malone "Register a product while adding an upstream task" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/127126 - Assigned to Guilherme Salgado (salgado) [04:18] Launchpad bug 117276 in launchpad "Require projects to specify the license of their code" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/117276 - Assigned to Guilherme Salgado (salgado) [04:18] to group bugs related to project and project-group management [04:18] Launchpad bug 67431 in malone "Product registrants get bug mail even if Product does not use Malone" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/67431 [04:18] I'm +1 [04:19] isn't that like moving 'rosetta' bugs to 'launchpad' and add a tag for it? [04:19] Are these really related in a sensible way? [04:19] Since the London meeting established the need for quite a bit of registry work, and bug will thus be associated with that, I'm +1 as well [04:19] carlos, I'm +1 on your proposal as well, but don't tell anybody [04:19] salgado: :-) [04:20] salgado: then I am +1 on this one :) [04:20] I think the important thing is not so much "is this a clearly defined tag", but "is this a tag that will be useful" === neversfelde|mobi [n=neversfe@mue-88-130-117-181.dsl.tropolys.de] has joined #launchpad [04:20] salgado, would you use this tag in searching for bugs to fix, for example? [04:20] yes, I would [04:20] ok then [04:21] and I think matsubara would as well [04:21] for that, I'd need to know what can it be used for? for any bugs related to product registry details? "check for duplicate product registrations"? [04:21] (since he proposed the tag) [04:21] danilos: that's the merge products bug, isn't it? [04:22] which would be a bug tagged with the registry tag. [04:22] matsubara: yeah, depending on how you want to solve the problem [04:22] There are no -1s, and Rinchen is +1, so I declare the tag is approved [04:22] matsubara: ok, then I see the value in the tag and how I can use it [04:22] The way I am envisioning this tag be used is during triage and milestone planning. Triage to find the registry bugs and Salgado during milestone planing for his activities. [04:22] another use case is RSS feeds for bug tags. that way you'd be notified when someone files a bug with that tag. [04:23] == Operations report == [04:23] Removed wildcard DNS [04:23] Apache front end to LP has been upgraded to 2.2 [04:23] Edge auto updates had been broken since release, but now fixed (branches had diverged) [04:23] Working on app server reconfig (separate server for scripts/cronjobs) [04:23] thanks mpt [04:24] that's it from me unless there are any questions about Operations [04:24] thank you mthaddon [04:24] i was going to ask what was going on with edge, but you preempted me :) [04:24] :) [04:24] == DBA report == [04:24] We will want about 5 hours of database downtime on a weekend to repack the database and change our text search indexes from GIN back to GIST. No announcement has been made yet, so I suspect Sunday week since it is probably too late to announce weekend downtime now (but this Sunday is fine by me if we still want to proceed). [04:24] There are now NOT NULL constraints and DEFAULTS on Person.personal_standing, Person.mailing_list_receive_duplicates and Person.mailing_list_auto_subscribe_policy. A backported patch is on my pending-db-changes branch to land next time we open launchpad/devel up for db changes. [04:24] Nothing else to report. [04:25] stub, are there not null constraints there? [04:25] ooops, nevermind [04:25] I misread that as account_status [04:25] stub: awesome, thanks! [04:25] mrevell, please coordinate with stub to develop an announcement. [04:26] stub: I'll mail you after the meeting [04:26] Rinchen: for this Sunday or next? [04:26] The timing will need to be approved by kiko or steve. [04:26] ah, okay [04:26] thanks stub [04:26] == Sysadmin requests == [04:27] Thanks mrevell [04:27] Do anyone have any outstanding RT requests that need attention? [04:27] and is there interest in keeping this section during this meeting? We've had a few items recently so perhaps it remains useful [04:28] Steve no doubt would like to continue this for a while. [04:28] Silence is golden then. mpt back to you [04:28] Perhaps we could replace this section with RT bugwatches in Launchpad :-) [04:28] ha [04:29] i have a couple of rts but i can't remember the numbers and they're not urgent [04:29] i'll msg you in a bit [04:29] == A top user-affection issue == [04:29] errrr [04:29] == A top user-affecting issue == === mwhudson laughs [04:29] hmmm, user-affection...

[04:30] Ah, sorry, I'm just finding my bits [04:30] Today, a Launchpad user posted to launchpad-users to describe a problem he encountered when registering a blueprint: [04:30] "I tried creating a new Blueprint on LaunchPad but I am blind and the first field on that form: [04:30] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/specs/+new [04:30] excellent, I was hoping you were going to bring that one up [04:30] "Where one has to choose which project the Blueprint should be assigned to, [04:30] is not accessible." [04:30] yeah, good one that [04:30] In this case, I have registered the blueprint for him, at his request. However, can we schedule some work to make that form accessible? If so, I'll re-contact him to get specific details of what made it inaccessible to him. [04:31] Also, Hobbsee has asked me to raise bug 121828, where the "Launchpad is offline for maintenance" message appears even if maintenance is not the cause of Launchpad being offline. Is this something we can/would like to fix? [04:31] Launchpad bug 121828 in launchpad "Launchpad says it's "offline for maintenance" when it isn't" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/121828 [04:31] why is this not accessible? [04:31] it's just the search functionality that isn't [04:31] Are the labels borked? [04:31] it's just a text box. [04:31] mrevell, do you know what he/she meant by accessible? [04:31] intellectronica: I want to get more details from him. [04:31] mrevell: Originally, that behavior was considered a feature. [04:31] perhaps is the "choose" menu [04:32] mpt: I assume he's talking about the "choose" box that is, I assume, displayed through JS [04:32] that text box is pretty hard to use without being able to search for the project [04:32] and that's a popup widget issue, so it's worth fixing (it's all over LP) [04:32] stub: What do you mean? [04:32] mrevell: Now launchpad can recover from outages, that might need rethinking [04:32] ah [04:32] I think related to the offline message, if we had more specifics (i.e. it's offline for x reason, expected downtime is y) that might be good too [04:32] stub: Oh, sorry, the second one. yes, I can understand why it happened that way [04:32] mpt, please add this to your wiki page list. I want to explore related items with you at some point [04:32] mrevell: When developing launchpad, better for people to see 'down for maintenance' than 'launchpad is a pile of crap' [04:32] Rinchen, my what? [04:32] stub: sure :) [04:33] I think the status page idea would deal with that. [04:33] mpt, your list of usability issue remarks [04:33] Rinchen, oh, it already is [04:33] great, thanks [04:33] As for the accessibility, I'll get more details as to what problem the user encountered. [04:33] unless you know about it already mpt [04:33] "Launchpad is burning, pass the bucket over" would be a bit less negative? [04:33] perhaps the offline page could link to a page that details recent/upcoming maintenance windows [04:33] mrevell: Sure? This dictates the implementation of the status page (it will need to be external to Launchpad, and cache information from the database in case the database is inaccessible) [04:33] "this is elmo's mobile phone number, you many want to call it?" [04:34] stub, honesty would be more reassuring [04:34] mpt: Now, sure. [04:34] stub: I've no problem with an off-site status page, but that sort of thing isn't down to me, obviously [04:34] Sure. This is like two years after it was setup that way. [04:34] We no longer have hourly cherry picks and whatnot. [04:34] stub: then again, if lp gets a reputation for often being down, then people will regard it as an unstable pile of crap. [04:34] :) [04:34] stub: or good, but completely unstable, so not worth using. [04:35] stub: pick your poison :) [04:35] Having used it daily for the past eight or so months, and before that fairly regularly, I reckon our uptime is pretty good [04:35] It isn't my call. I'm just explaining the history. [04:35] Hobbsee: from where you're standing, is LP down a lot? [04:35] mthaddon, are you able to take 121828 for 1.1.8? [04:36] mthaddon: i havent done great amounts of bugwork recently, but where it's probably down 1/20 pages, as a wild guess...yes, that's a lot.

[04:46] mrevell: file it as a bug [04:46] mrevell: is this the popup accessibility issue? [04:46] intellectronica: yeah [04:46] let's file a bug and try to come up with a fix - we only need to fix it once for all popus on lp to work correctly [04:48] ok, I'll file it once I've asked the user exactly what problem he encountered. [04:49] mrevell, we're not aware of it [04:49] and from my past five minutes reading, it's something we'll need to test wherever we use JavaScript [04:49] mpt:i think we are, we just need to file a bug and think what to do about it [04:50] intellectronica, well you might be, you're the expert here :-) [04:50] but I wasn't [04:50] though that could be a _different_ issue from what mrevell's corespondent is reporting [04:51] mpt: in that case i should have filed a bug :) [04:51] http://boxofchocolates.ca/archives/2005/06/12/javascript-and-accessibility is interesting [04:52] intellectronica: What issue are you aware of? [04:53] mpt: true but, a: many users of screen readers turn off javascript, and there are other users who don't have javascript for other reasons (security, whatever) [04:54] mrevell: the popup widgets (the ones where you can fill in the detail or click 'Choose...' don't do anything if you click choose and don't have javascript [04:54] intellectronica: I think that's almost certainly the issue here. [04:54] Can we make them degrade gracefully? [04:54] mrevell: ideally, we should do something different if the user doesn't have javascript, like jump to a new page, or replace the widget with a combo [04:54] intellectronica, I agree that Launchpad should work without JavaScript, but it's not clear that that's the issue here [04:54] mrevell: i don't see why not (with a bit of work) [04:55] mpt: i agree. [04:55] mpt: true, let's regard this as a separate issue then [04:55] Separate until proved the same [04:56] an opportunity to dogfood that duplicate bug functionality :) [04:56] I think we need to know if choose dialog activated, but was unintelligible, or just did not run. [04:57] sinzui: good point [04:57] exactly [04:57] Ah, okay, I see that I was wrong to jump to a conclusion here. [04:58] For example, we could use JavaScript to insert those "Choose..." links in the first place, so that without JavaScript you had just the text field [05:00] but that wouldn't solve the problem, for those people, of it being difficult to enter the appropriate value === phanatic [n=phanatic@dsl54000E38.pool.t-online.hu] has joined #launchpad === ryanakca [n=ryan@ubuntu/member/ryanakca] has joined #launchpad === phanatic [n=phanatic@dsl54000E38.pool.t-online.hu] has joined #launchpad === cprov [n=cprov@canonical/launchpad/cprov] has joined #launchpad [05:01] So we wouldn't have complaints like this, but we'd have (in the absence of usability testing) hidden failures. [05:02] Fernando is apparently using Microsoft Outlook [05:03] so probably Jaws === gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #launchpad [05:11] mpt: there are two solutions i can think of [05:11] 1. make the choose links go to a new page where you can search [05:12] 2. start with a drop-down and replace it dynamically (so only if js is on) [05:12] the problem with the latter is that sometimes the lists will be too long (so both difficult to use and potentially causing timeouts) [05:13] intellectronica, for the sanity of non-disabled users, we should do a Google-Suggest-like thing anyway [05:13] mpt: that would be awesome! [05:13] intellectronica, are you volunteering? ;-) [05:14] So what we should do to make the "Choose..." more accessible perhaps depends on how soon we will replace it [05:14] mpt: absolutely - i'll start a spec === salgado is now known as salgado-brb [05:15] intellectronica, we already have a braindump spec on it, iirc [05:15] ... from 2005 === sinzui likes the google-suggest idea. === sinzui starts adding that to gedit syntax completion.
