sommerparty!16:03
macdwooo16:03
mathiazso - the agenda is quite small.16:04
mathiazanyone wants to add something to it ?16:04
sommerI had a couple of question regarding the documentation area.16:05
nealmcbhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Meeting16:05
sommerbut if there's other topics they can go first16:05
mathiazsommer: we can review your question when we get down to the documentation section of the roadmap ?16:05
sommercool, works for me16:06
mathiazgreat.16:06
mathiaz [TOPIC] Review ACTION points from previous meeting.16:06

coffeedudemathiaz: Likewise Open is now publicly available.  I can give an update on that if there is time.16:06
mathiazcoffeedude: sure.16:07
mathiazcoffeedude: after the last meeting review ?16:07
coffeedudemathiaz: sure.  Just ping me when it's time.16:07
mathiazsommer: As usual you've done a great job16:08
sommermathiaz: heh thx16:08
mathiaznijaba has put the MIR spec online at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerPackageReview16:09
nijabayep...16:09
mathiazScottK and Ante picked up some packages16:09
Zic@now16:09
mathiazIf anyone wants to work on writing some MIR, they should edit the wiki page.16:10
macdI was thinking rubygems might be pulled into main? is rails?16:10
mathiazI didn't have time to update the Roadmap with the list of spec for hardy16:10
mathiazI'll try to get this done by next week.16:11
mathiaz[ACTION] mathiaz will update the Developer section of the Roadmap with the specs for hardy16:11
MootBotACTION received:  mathiaz will update the Developer section of the Roadmap with the specs for hardy16:11
mathiazmacd: I think it's part of the RoR spec, isn't it ?16:11
macdyes, but the MIR spec still has it as rejected, I got confused16:11
mathiazmacd: right. it's been marked as defered.16:12
mathiazmacd: the MirSpec is about getting packages into main that are not necessarly covered by another spec.16:12
macdmathiaz, ahh, right great ;)16:12
mathiazgetting something into main doesn't mean it has to be on the list.16:13
mathiazthe MirSpec is just a list of packages that we've discussed at UDS16:13
mathiazthey should be considered for inclusion into main.16:13
mathiazThe db4.4 bug has been uploaded and should be fixed soon.16:14
nealmcbthanks!!16:15

coffeedudeok.16:17
coffeedudeFor those who were at UDS during the Window integration section, I demoed some domain join utilities for AD domains.16:17
coffeedudeThat code is now publicly available16:17

MootBotLINK received:  http://www.likewisesoftware.com/community/16:17
coffeedudedendrobates has the source tarball of the release and we are working on packages for Hardy.16:18
coffeedudeThe main packaging issue is splitting out the gui and cli utilities into separate packages.16:18
coffeedudeI'll send out a short announcement to the ubuntu-devel and ubuntu-server lists as well later today.16:18
coffeedudemathiaz: That's the short run of it.  Unless there are some specific questions.....16:19
mathiazcoffeedude: thanks for the quick intro.16:19
mralphabetcoffeedude: is that going to be in for hardy? is that the target?16:20
coffeedudemralphabet: targetting Jan 2 for upload.16:20
mralphabetcoffeedude: ahh, k thanks16:21
coffeedudemralphabet: so yes.  Definitely in Hardy16:21
nealmcbcoffeedude: many thanks - important stuff!16:21
coffeedudenealmcb: :-)16:21
sommersounds like a good thing to add to the Windows Neteworking section of the docs16:22
mathiazsommer: yes. That's something that defenitly needs to be documented and announced.16:22
mathiazwe should mentioned in the release notes16:23
sommeronce the packages are in the repos we could start with a wiki page... then translate it to DocBook16:23
nijabasommer: count me in if you need some help there16:24
sommernijaba: cool, probably will because I don't currently have an AD domain available16:24
nijabasommer: VM are great for this16:24
mathiazLet's move on.16:25
mathiaz[TOPIC] Review each section of the ServerTeam/Roadmap.16:25
MootBotNew Topic:  Review each section of the ServerTeam/Roadmap.16:25
nealmcbnijaba: but having ad to test against is harder....16:25
sommernijaba: ya... just need to set one up.16:25
coffeedudebtw...I'll plan to spend a fair amount on QA as well (in Hardy) since I have a large set of AD domains.....16:25
nealmcbany way someone can make some AD domains available for testing by others?16:26
coffeedudenealmcb: not mine.  But we can bring this up on the ubuntu-server list perhaps.....16:27
mathiazhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Roadmap16:28
mathiazsoren: how is the merge going ?16:29
sorenSorry, I was on the phone :(16:29
sorenmathiaz: Which merge?16:29
soren(me lost track somewhere)16:29
mathiazsoren: the general state of merge on the server related packages16:29
sorenOh.. Good question. I think we're in pretty good shape.16:30
soren...but I honestly haven't checked the list in a about a week.16:30
mathiazI see that libpam-ldap and libnss-ldap are still needed16:30
sorenjdstrand did them already, I just haven't reviewed them.16:31
sorenI suck.16:31
mathiazsoren: what about the samba merge ?16:31
jdstrandsoren: come on now, you don't *suck*16:31
mathiazsoren: Do you have an issue with the change of the default workgroup name ?16:31
sorenmathiaz: I talked to Steve about it yesterday. I haven't checked if he implemented my comments. If he did, I'll upload later today.16:31
sorenmathiaz: I did, but I'm happy now :)16:32
mathiazsoren: He attached a new debdiff with some changelog modification.16:32
sorenThat's what I told him to. Great. Later today, then.16:32
mathiazsoren: but the core change to move from MSHOME to WORKGROUP is ok with you ?16:32
sorenYes.16:32
mathiazsoren: great :)16:33
sorenEven though I might think that MSHOME is still a sane default, this will be less and less true as time goes by, so the sooner we change it, the less pain we get later on.16:33
mathiazsoren: right. As I said in the debian bug, MSHOME is the default for Windows XP Home - the other products use WORKGROUP, as upstream samba.16:34
sorenmathiaz: I'm aware16:34
mathiazsommer: how documentation is going ?16:34
sorenHowever, even though I have no actual statistics to back this up, I think XP Home is still quite common among a lot of our users.16:35
sorenBut let's not worry about that. It's being changed as of now, so there :)16:35
nijabasoren: I strongly disagree that our target users are XP home users...16:37
sorennijaba: That's not what I'm saying.16:37
sommermathiaz: good the dns section is updated16:37
nealmcbsoren: yeah - it is frustrating and I appreciate your comments - changing our default is a hassle for our users - but I think this is the right approach16:37
sorennijaba: I'm saying that I think there might happen to a certain correlation between the set of users that are likely to use Ubuntu and the set of users who are likely to have XP Home machines on their existing network.16:38
sorennealmcb: Agreed. The point is that as time goes by, it will be annoying to more and more users, and given that we're likely to change it at some point, earlier is better.16:38
nealmcb... bite the bullet now....16:38
nijabasoren: clearer, thanks16:38
sorennijaba: :)16:38
mathiazsommer: what's next on the plate for the ServerGuide review ?16:39
sommerone of my questions has to do with doc.u.c and having a "nightly" build of the development docs16:40
sommerI filed  Bug #17310416:40
ubotuLaunchpad bug 173104 in ubuntu-docs "doc.ubuntu.com/  needs updated" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/17310416:40
=== doko_ is now known as doko
sommerand Mathew East was going to query some people about it... I was wondering if there's anything the Server Team can do?16:41
sommerbasically it would be easier for reviewers if an html version of the development docs were available16:42
mathiazsommer: Not much I guess. It's a Doc team issue16:42
sommermathiaz: gotcha... thought I'd try anyway16:42
sommerin regards to the next section I was thinking about updating the Intro and Installation sections16:43
dendrobateshello everyone.  I finally showed up.  :)16:43
jdstrandhi dendrobates!16:44
sommerwas planning on trying to answer the questions raised in these articles http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/370922116:44
sorendendrobates: Hi, boss :)16:44
sommerthat's the first one anyway16:44
nealmcbsommer: :-)16:44
nijabasommer: very good idea16:44
sommermy plan was to cover the new tasksel options and which packages are installed... or at least how to find which packages16:44
mathiazI don't think we need to cover which package are installed.16:45
nijabasommer: from these articles we also need a section explaining which are the specific optimizations in the server kernel16:45
mathiazThat's the reason why we're using tasksel after all16:45
sommernijaba: ya... I was also wondering if the current min requirements are accurate?16:46
nealmcbI was curious about her comments in the last (?) article about separate namespaces for ipc, uts - for container security? CONFIG_IPC_NS=y, CONFIG_UTS_NS=y16:46
nealmcbso hopefully someone can dig in and document or perhaps respond16:46
nijabasommer: good question.  I'll check that and get back to you16:46
sommernijaba: cool, thanks16:47
mathiaz[ACTION] nijaba will check the minimun requirement for an installation of ubuntu-server16:47
MootBotACTION received:  nijaba will check the minimun requirement for an installation of ubuntu-server16:47
sommerthe other thing with the tasksel options is if they change there are any config changes that differ from using apt16:47
sommerivoks mentioned that the mail-server task will automatically setup Dovecot SASL for example16:47
sorenWe're working to get that working independently of tasksel.16:48
nijabasommer: there is a specific postinst script for tasksel16:48
mathiazsommer: not for now. But dovecot sasl is using this approach.16:48
sorenI'd *really* like to avoid doing anything like that from tasksel.16:48
sorenThe dovecot side of things is mostly settled.16:48
sommermakes sense to me, I think either way we need to document it :-)16:49
sorenSure, sure.16:49
sorenIt's just (hopefully) not going to be a tasksel (or even task) specific thing, but rather a feature of the packages involved.16:49
mathiazsoren: that would be ideal. But it seems that there are some dependencies issues.16:50
nijabasoren: shall we document the ^ thing in apt-get ?16:50
sorennijaba: Yes :)16:50
sorenmathiaz: Shall I explain now or do you want to wait until after the meeting?16:51
nijabaI meant, other than in the code of course ;)16:51
mathiazsoren: well - the best thing would to comment on the bug.16:51
sorenSure.16:51
mathiazsoren: bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dovecot/+bug/16483716:51
ubotuLaunchpad bug 164837 in dovecot "Dovecot SASL for postfix" [Low,In progress]16:52
mathiaznealmcb: what's the state of the factoids update ?16:52
nealmcbstalled while I fix my laptop disk :-(16:53
nealmcblike my jeos bug reports and comments .....16:53
sommerthe other documentation question I had as if it makes sense to include a "Howto Install GUI" section?16:53
sommerI know it's not recommended on a server, but the question seems to come up a lot16:54
mathiazsommer: correct.16:54
nijabasommer: please no !16:54
mathiazI'd start with a wiki page16:54
sommeralso, most of the info is already out there in the forums and wiki16:54
nijabaa factoid maybe?16:54
sommermathiaz: sure wiki sounds fine to me.16:55
mathiazIf we can point to a wiki page on h.u.c when the question is asked it would be great.16:55
* nealmcb agrees - documentation is helpful!16:55
mathiazI'm not sure it would be a usefull section in the Server Guide.16:55
sommercool that works16:55
mathiazsommer: could add this as an item to the Roadmap ?16:56
sommermathiaz: sure, will do16:56
sommerprobably a good topic for a new contributor as well16:57
mathiaz[ACTION] sommer will add an item about writing a wiki page to install a minimal GUI on the server16:57
MootBotACTION received:  sommer will add an item about writing a wiki page to install a minimal GUI on the server16:57
mathiazsommer: yes.16:57
nealmcbthe server guide could note that it doesn't cover desktop x11, and refer to another ubuntu doc that talks about switching desktops16:57
nealmcband explain why they don't make sense on most servers16:58
mathiaznealmcb: good idea.16:58
nealmcband when ebox is there we can point folks there16:58
nijabanealmcb: +116:59
sommernealmcb: good call we probably need an ebox section in the official docs as well16:59
