RichEdhello edubuntu meeting12:02
juliuxhello RichEd12:02
RichEdwho do we have around today ?12:02
RichEdhi juliux :)12:02
juliuxstill at work but around;)12:02
* Hobbsee comes in to disrupt the meeting12:03
RichEdahh Hobbsee ... hi there :)12:03
RichEdso looks like just RichEd juliux Hobbsee & ogra then ?12:04
Hobbseehiya RichEd!12:04
* RichEd waits for ogra to kick of with a short tech update - including the distro sprint last week12:04
ograhey12:04
ograwell, most of my sprint time was invested into classmate to get it running with the new hardy kernel12:05
ograbut we also discussed the Cd changes12:05
RichEd[ actually glad to have juliux & Hobbsee ... we have been asked to get an opinion from the community on a name migration so please wait around to chat about that ]12:05
ograsadly the scripts are not completely transitioned yet as i hoped for alpha412:06
HobbseeRichEd: any name will be acceptable, as long as it has reference to either a) monty python, or b) hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.12:06
ograso alpha4 will still build a server CD but i dont test it12:06
ograif you want to test install media, please test ubuntu alternate with the preseed options set as i stated in my mail recently12:07
ogra(to test ltsp)12:07
ogracjwatson is busy changing the seed management to please us and get the plain addon setup going soon ...12:08
=== nalioth__ is now known as nalioth
ograi have some bad ltsp bugs on y plate (i.e. ldm consolekit integration to make authenticated apps (sudo and the like) work at all on ltsp atm)12:09
ograthe dekstop changed a lot in this regard and ltsp isnt up to date here yet12:09
ograjohnny who isnt here but a resident in #edubuntu did a lot on sabayon ... talking to upstream and getting fixes in etc12:11
ograi hope i find the time this week to update that12:11
ogra(there is a new upstream waiting)12:11
=== cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson
cjwatsonseed changes will land after alpha412:11
cjwatson(I got blocked on a few more bits of infrastructure I'd missed)12:11
* ogra didnt complain :) and the community wont either 12:12
cjwatsonogra: once the seed changes are done, I'd appreciate it if you could make the CD build script changes; I will be happy to help you12:12
ogra(dare you guys :) )12:12
ogracjwatson, ok, will do12:12
cjwatsonogra: what sort of kernel problems did you encounter on the classmate?12:12
cjwatson(I didn't get a chance to talk with you at the sprint about this)12:12
ogracjwatson, after searching 1.5 days i found the clocksource detection to be at fault12:13
cjwatsonoh, fun12:13
ograBenC knows about it ...12:13
ograand you can set colcksource as grub parameter12:13
ograso its not to bad actually12:13
cjwatsonis there a suitably milestoned bug to ensure that it doesn't get forgotten?12:13
ograwell, and i'm still experimenting with tickless12:13
ogranot yet, i'll add one12:14
cjwatsonthanks12:14
ograbut it seems i'm not the only one with that pob so i suspect ther is a bug already12:14
ogra*prob12:14
cjwatsonogra has sent me a summary of CK problems in ssh, which I will process and try to work out12:14
ograwe'll have a solution in any case fo CK ... the question is just which one :)12:15
ograbeyond all that i'll upload my corrected classmate-initramfs and -setings packages to the archive this week (since i need them for the image)12:16
cjwatsonfortunately the ssh -X / consolekit problems are reproducible on a normal system12:16
ograwith the setup with the livefs-rootfs scripts it should then be possible for everyone to build his own classmate image12:16
RichEdogra: can you and i touch sides tomorrow on the classmate issues going back & forth with intel ... and then prep a mail report for cjwatson and then on to intel ?12:17
ogracjwatson, easiest would be to hook it into the ssh X proxy code ... but then we'd miss the case where ssh -x is used with a DISPLAY variable (which i suspect is used by more ltsp users than the default)12:17
cjwatsonI need to read a few examples of consolekit integration before I can comment12:18
ograRichEd, sure ... even though i think colin is up to date with everything on the tech side, i usually copy all my mails12:18
RichEdchris is very keen for us to hold them to the contract, and sort out any variances formally ... there is definately scope creep from their side12:18
ogracjwatson, in case you dont know it: http://people.freedesktop.org/~mccann/doc/ConsoleKit/ConsoleKit.html12:19
stgraberhello12:19
ograi also have access to upstream, he's in #ltsp regulary atm for quick questions12:19
cjwatsonogra: thanks, I hadn't seen that and that's definitely useful12:20
ograwell, thats all from my side ... LaserJock sent two mails to edubuntu-devel i'd like to pul peoples attention to12:20
ogracjwatson, and mccann would love to help us out with whatever is needed (even CK upstream changes) if it improves :)12:21
ografedorea has similar probs :)12:21
ogra*fedora12:21
ograand nobody with a colin watson-ish insight in openssh ;)12:22
ograso i'm done with my tech stuff, stgraber anything new about iTalc ?12:23
RichEdogra: summarise the LaserJock issues quickly please ... he did bring them up at the meeting last week12:23
RichEdhey stgraber :) you snuck in there12:23
ograhe'd like to chaneg the app selection ... rasmol should be replaced by gnome-chemistry-utils12:23
RichEdokay ... sounds fine ...12:24
ograsqueak is in bad shape and he tries to solve that with upstream to get us better packages12:24
RichEdhe also mentioned there was no firm answer on where to do the menu editing ...12:24
ograand he's busy with edubuntu-menus asking how to develop a gui for it12:24
RichEdhe said you proposed alacarte ... but there was some reluctance from his side12:24
ogra(which i dont see happening two weeks before freeze though)12:25
ograRichEd, well, if you edit menus you will use the menu editor12:25
RichEdogra: np ... let's keep it moving forwards anyway ... regardless of the current cycle12:25
stgrabersorry, yes I was contacted by iTalc's upstream and he was as surprised as I'm about the various bugs I've found12:25
ograso imho that feature needs to be in the menu editor gui12:25
RichEdthat made sense to me as well12:25
RichEdhence i was unsure why that was not the obvious route12:26
ograwe need at least a proper documented wayx how to do it on the commandline though if we release it12:26
ograi'll talk to him this week12:26
ograto clearify that12:26
cjwatsonogra: oh, I dunno, I suspect the RH openssh maintainer at least is better than I am12:26
RichEdare there any or many people who are working on alacarte ? that we could draw on for help or at least some mentorship / guidance ?12:26
ogracjwatson, mccann didnt sound like that :)12:27
RichEdif we aim for alacarte integrtion by 8.10 we may be able to get some new resources working on LaserJocks requirements as a project12:27
ograRichEd, i think alacarte is the gnome default menu editor upstream now ... but they dont agree with LaserJocks implementation using overlays afaik so i dont expect much help from that side ...12:28
ograwe'd need a community guy knowing the alacarte code a bit12:28
cjwatsonthe alacarte author is an Ubuntu community guy12:29
cjwatsonAmaranth12:29
ograthe only one i know is Amaranth ... but he's so much into compiz that i fear he wont be available12:29
RichEdogra: this is starting to sound like the conversation with LaserJock ... we need to pick a route, define the requirements, and push forwards12:29
RichEd:)12:29
ograyeah12:30
RichEdcould we get someone like cody somerville (the newish voluteer) to tackle at least an overview plan12:30
ograi dotn expect to have something thats polished and fully integrated by #hardy12:30
RichEdhe should have the time to start some conversations12:31
ograbut having the backend bits done and stable would be a major step towards what we want12:31
RichEdogra: that's fine re hardy ... but this spec seems to stall often12:31
ograwell, its a massive amount of work12:31
RichEdso lets aim for 8.10 and get someone on it who is not tied up with the current release cycle12:31
ograi never expected it to be done in less than two releases12:31
ogra(it took three yet though and might be done after five)12:32
RichEdle me chat to cody by mail ... will cc you and LaserJock12:32
RichEd*let12:32
ograi'm sure we could get something hacked together quickly outside of alacarte ... but i dont want such stuff in hardy12:32
RichEdany more tech stuff ?12:34
ograstgraber, so whats the reaction of upstream (beyond being surprised) ?12:35
ogradoes he want your fixes ?12:35
ograis he aware that ltsp5 works different from 4.x ?12:35
stgraberhe wants to fix but he seems to be lacking of time12:36
ograwell, he could start with just including your fixes :)12:36
stgraberand the network bug is really weird (port open on a computer but not on another ...)12:36
ograthat shouldnt take a major amount of time12:36
* RichEd is back in 5 min12:36
ograsounds like /hosts.allow/deny chime in ...12:36
ogra(just a guess though)12:37
stgraberindeed, but instead of using env vars as I'm currently doing it'd be better to fix it using the same parameters as ica itself12:37
stgraberwell, the weird thing is that doing a nmap -p 5800 localhost returns a value on my laptop and not on my test computer12:37
ograright12:37
stgraberboth running Hardy on amd64 ...12:38
stgraberand I think it's the same bug causing the demo problem I had before (as looking at the debug messages it seems italc is unable to reach the local vnc server and then to broadcast our screen to the other computers, causing the crash I had)12:38
ograwe should combine thin client manager and italc :P12:39
ograbroadcasting was actually the only vnc function that works flawless there :)12:39
johnnyhmm.. i'm sad about having a whole another service to do this kinda thing12:40
johnnyi need to read more i suppose12:40
ograjohnny, iTalc is supposed to replace TCM12:40
johnnyyes i know that12:40
stgraberyes, especially as italc currently crashes when using the demo mode, it's not "just not working"12:40
ograas TCM has no maintainer12:40
johnnybut when i heard that it had it's own services12:40
johnnyi was suprised12:40
ograTCM has a client as well12:40
ogralook in /etc/X11/Xsession.d if you have it installed12:41
stgraberI don't think the iTalc bug is that hard to fix neither is the slight improvment I want (-ivsport and -isdport for italc as we have for ica), I just have no C++/QT knowledge12:41
ogra(it was called scp (student control panel) before)12:41
stgraberso it takes me a lot of time to figure out what's wrong and then to find a way to fix it :)12:41
ograstgraber, can we make it work out of the box with features disabled though ?12:42
stgraberwith the port problem I currently have, no12:42
ograhmm12:42
stgraberwith this bug, iTalc is just unable to contact its own ica (daemon) and any other daemon (the clients)12:43
ograthen TCM should get some attention at least, we need at least oe tool to ship12:43
ograi'm inclined to just drop the VNC feature from TCM12:43
stgraberI have found the problem and workarounded the other in only a couple of hours, so someone with C++ knowledge should be able to fix the bug easily12:44
ograall others dont have probs and i'd like to have some session control available12:44
stgraberI'm not sure we really want to support tcm for 3 years :)12:44
ograhow hackish is your workaround ?12:44
ogranot sure we want to support a pre version of iTalc for three years either :)12:44
stgrabernot that much, it's just using a IVSPORT env var to send the ica port (as in our case the port is different for each client)12:45
stgraberto have it done the proper way, the getenv() should be replaced by a command parameter (-ivsport)12:45
ograis it possible for the user to modify that ? or is it relatively safe ?12:45
ograi.e. if i set the var to something will italc respect that override ?12:46
ogra(it shouldnt for safety reasons)12:46
ogracould we have a wrapper script that forces a value ?12:47
ograso overrides arent possible12:47
stgraberit'll connect on the port specified in the env var, if not it'll fallback to the default value12:47
ograsounds somehow solvable12:48
stgrabermy real problem is ica not listening to its ports ... the only thing I'm sure of is that it's not one of my patches that are causing that12:49
ograwell, anyway, we should discuss tech details off meeting12:49
stgraberindeed12:50
RichEdcan we move on to art then ?12:50
ografrom my side we can12:50
RichEdany more tech from anyone else ?12:50
johnnyuhmm? i don't know the protocols for these meetings, so i'll abstain until i can read some guidelines12:51
RichEdour wallpaper volunteer (jill) made a start on a new desktop ... she sent samples to ogra and myself ...12:51
RichEdjohnny: jump in ...12:51
ograjohnny, its parted in two hlafs12:51
RichEdwhat would you like to chat about ?12:51
ografirst is tech, second is community etc12:51
johnnywell, i was concerned about the fact that autologin was promoted, but never worked12:51
ograRichEd, as i said before johnny cared a lot for sabayon12:51
johnnystill care "ing" :)12:52
RichEdwe do tech / art / distro stuff in part 1 ... then onto web site community etc. in part 212:52
* RichEd thanks johnny 12:52
ograjohnny, there are patches in LP i'll add soon12:52
johnnyvagrantc put in a patch supposably12:52
ograthat should fix it ....12:52
johnnyto ldm12:52
johnnyas of a few hours that is12:52
ograhe pulled one from francis both, sbalneav and me werent happy about back then12:52
johnnyyeah, scott was gonna write a new one, but he disappeared12:53
ograbut since scott didnt show up until yesterday i'm considering using that one12:53
ograthere is still a lot of time for bugfixes12:53
johnnyoh.. scott is back?12:53
johnnywould it be feasible to have an ltsp meeting ?12:53
johnnyand then report back on the next ubuntu meeting12:53
ogra(bugs can be fixed all the time during the release cycle)12:53
ograwell, usually scott attends this meeting12:54
johnnybut i doubt warren or vagrantc does..12:54
ograsince next time we'll have the late one (20:00 UTC i expect him to be here)12:54
ograi dont care about warren12:54
ogra(form a distro maintainer POV)12:54
johnnythus was speaking of ltsp in general12:54
ograwell, if you want to organize a ltsp meeting and teh others agree we need one, go ahaed :)12:55
ograi'll fix the ltsp bugs along the way to hardy anyway12:55
johnnyok12:56
johnnyso, anybody have any issues with sabayon they wanted to bring up in this forum?12:56
johnnyotherwise i'm done with tech for now until i can think onger12:56
johnnylonger*12:56
ograi think they are all on launchpad :)12:56
johnnybeen there done that :)12:56
ograright12:56
johnnyeven got some patches from redhat bugtracker12:56
ograi'll try to get the new upstream in this week ...12:57
johnnystill waiting for federico to return ,he just had a daughter12:57
ograbut i want to look at upstreams solution for two patches they solved differently12:57
johnnybefore deciding on the next step12:57
ograi didnt find the time fr that yet, but its on my list12:57
johnnywell, lemme know :)12:57
ograwill do12:58
ograi guess you are subbed to the bugs12:58
ogra?12:58
johnnybugs in general? or specific bugs?12:58
ograsabayon12:58
johnnylaunchpad or gnome?12:58
ogralaunchpad12:59
ograi'll put my comments there12:59
johnnyok12:59
ograso lets communicate through LP12:59
ograRichEd, stage is yours12:59
ograshow us the bling :)12:59
RichEdhi ...13:03
RichEdour wallpaper volunteer (jill) made a start on a new desktop ... she sent samples to ogra and myself ...13:03
RichEdshe herself said they may be too busy and i agree13:03
ograyeah13:04
ograwell, they might be good for a young desktop13:04
RichEdthey are very cluttered ... not like the ubuntu cleanness13:04
RichEdogra: as an optional, they are okay ... too much for a default though13:04
ograright13:04
RichEdso if anyone has any artwork "theme" suggestions or ideas, i can get jill to think about ?13:04
=== \sh_away is now known as \sh
RichEdperhaps i should bounce off the mail lists13:05
RichEdokay ... on to the naming issue i mentioned earlier ... Hobbsee & juliux your comments would be appreciated13:06
ograbut also stgraber's and johnny's :)13:06
RichEdit's been suggested that as we move towards the current edubuntu being an add-op on top of an ubuntu install:13:06
RichEd" is edubuntu a true distro of its own, and does the naming still make sense ? "13:07
johnnymy impression from ogra was that it wont' be one13:07
RichEd" would it be more accurate to call the Ubuntu Install with Edubuntu/Education Add on something like: Ubuntu Education Edition "13:08
RichEdwe've been asked to float those questions / views, and then have a good debate at the next meeting which is a community council one13:08
RichEdmy own view is that we could migrate the naming as follows:13:09
ograjohnny, well, we wont let a brand vanish if there is a need for it :) currently the idea is to get both communities closer together and to loose the image of the childs distro ...13:09
RichEdedubuntu 8.04 - ubuntu education edition13:09
RichEdubuntu 8.10 education edition (edubuntu)13:09
ograedu in ubuntu is more than kindergarden and elementary school, we'd like to reflect that13:09
RichEdubuntu 9.04 - education edition13:09
RichEd---13:09
johnnysomebody in the channel was asking for apps for middle schoolers13:10
nixternalooh, look what I found :)13:10
ograkdeedu :)13:10
ogranixternal, ?13:10
ogratell us ?13:10
RichEdwe don't want a huge debate now, we'll save that for next week, but any immediate thoughts or opinions from anyone to get onto the table ?13:10
johnnyi'm not familiar with the apps themselves , i am only in edubuntu because of the ltsp affiliation.. or at least that's how i got started13:10
nixternalRichEd and ogra: I am updating the Edubuntu chapter btw for the book, so I will get with you both this week and torment you13:10
nixternalI mean pick your brains :)13:10
ogragreat13:10
ograthere wont be much change13:10
RichEdnixternal: pick me a nice one please13:10
nixternalexcept for LTSP going into Ubuntu Server :p13:11
nixternalhehe RichEd13:11
HobbseeRichEd: it will be interesting to see hwo that goes, as kubuntu may end up doing the same13:11
johnnyi like the idea of helping education and linux tho13:11
ogranixternal, ubuntu-alternate :)13:11
ogra-server has no desktop apps13:11
RichEdHobbsee: expand on that ?13:11
nixternalerr, ya alternate13:11
nixternalsorry13:11
HobbseeRichEd: from a marketing perspective, it probably makes sense to keep ubuntu in the name - so ubuntu 8.10 education edition (edubuntu) would be my pick13:11
* Hobbsee needs to type faster!13:11
ogranixternal, but ltsp itself wont see much changes wrt configuration etc13:11
nixternalgroovy13:12
nixternalwhat about KDE Edu? You guys need some work on it?13:12
HobbseeRichEd: at least in kubuntu, and i presume edubuntu as well, there are lots of questions on "so, should i install ubuntu or kubuntu", they think it requires different repos to run, aren't co installable, etc.13:12
ogramain focus for ltsp is to make it the most stable and solid one we had yet13:12
nixternalthere will be a bug fix release in February13:12
RichEdHobbsee: thanks ... new people hearing about ubuntu do not alwayds get as far as finding or understanding edubuntu (especially in foreign language regions)13:12
ogranixternal, it needs additions to all its .desktop files13:12
RichEdwe think the new approach will lead them from ubuntu to the education add on more successfully13:12
* RichEd needs to get moving for another meeting ... but peope are welcome to mail me comments ...13:13
RichEdi'13:13
ograapparently KDE apps dont use the StartupNotify setting .... but thats for off-meeting :)13:13
nixternalogra: OK, we can take a look at that after the meeting and it all worked out13:13
nixternalahh13:13
RichEdI'll leave this window open and #edubuntu ... but need to move on13:13
RichEdogra: can you handle the wrap up from here on in ?13:13
ograis there anything left apart from "questions anyone ?" ?13:13
ogra:)13:13
RichEdyep .. that bit ...13:14
ograheh13:14
RichEdbye all & thanks13:14
ograquestions anyone ?13:14
HobbseeRichEd: i think you want to keep the "ubuntu" name, if you're going to remarket at all - ie, not edubuntu - make it known as ubuntu + blah.13:14
ograHobbsee, for edubuntu that akes perfect sense ...13:15
ograi dont see it for kubuntu though13:15
Hobbseeogra: kubuntu is harder, but yes.13:15
ograedubuntu can be an addon to either desktop13:15
ograand thus doesnt actually need a system install CD13:15
ograthats the whole idea behind that change13:15
ograkubuntu will always want its own base CD13:16
johnnyuntil we all have dvd drives..13:16
ograinstead of being any kind of addon13:16
johnnybut that will be a long time..13:16
ograjohnny, no option for edu ... for the next ten years i guess13:16
ograanyway ...13:17
ograif theer are no other questions ....13:17
ogragoing once ...13:17
ogragoing twice ...13:18
Hobbseewhat's the answer to life, the universe and everything?13:18
ogra4213:18
Hobbseeoh good13:18
Hobbseeso not 37 then13:18
Davieytis 6313:18
ograanyway, adjourned ... (i was referring to serious questions rather :) )13:18
ogranext meeting is wed at 20:00 UTC ... thanks all for attending13:19
Hobbseeogra: awww.  but i said iw as going to come in and disrupt your meeting, so i had to add it :)13:19
ograyou waited quite long though13:19
ogranot much to disturb anymore13:19

liw[TOPIC] London sprint QA highlights16:07
MootBotNew Topic:  London sprint QA highlights16:07
liwso, we had a distro team sprint in London last week, and that included the Canonical QA people; it wasn't a community event, but we should report the QA related highlights16:07
ogasawaraI've got a few things . . .16:08
liwfor me: I got some advice on using KVM, and discussed expanding automatic desktop testing to the graphical installer, and worked together with Marc Tardif to create a package based on his hwtest framework that will run packaged automated desktop tests16:08
liwalso, various people suggested including, in some form or another, automatic tests they have made, e.g., for security work16:09
ogasawaraas a team we drafted out SRU process, bug workflow, bug forwarding, re-organizing the Debugging* wiki pages16:09
liwoh, and I made changes to the piuparts testing harness to provide a summary that can be included in the developer weather report16:10
pedro_And also we verified some of the outstanding SRU's ;-)16:10
ogasawaraoh and went through the iso-testing bugs16:11
liwanything else?16:12
pedro_one of the new things that we are going to introduce are the new desktop hug days based on of course desktop packages they will be held the Thursdays so stay tune16:12
stgraberoh, so we'll have two hug days ?16:13
pedro_yes sr16:13
stgraberthe first one being for the base system and the second for the GUI apps ?16:13
pedro_the second one is supposed to be based on Desktop apps like alacarte, evolution, nautilus, etc we have a few hundreds bugs there that need love16:15
pedro_and yeah the first one is more base system but includes another GUI apps like openoffice.org16:15
stgrabergood, let's hope we'll have as many people for the desktop hugday as we do for the current one16:16
liwanything else?16:16
liwif so, let's get back to this point later16:17
liw[TOPIC] Nautilus bug day16:17
MootBotNew Topic:  Nautilus bug day16:17
liwpedro? ogasawara? (assuming bdmurray ran away already)16:18
pedro_the nautilus bug day went pretty fine we have some stats at the bottom of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/2008012916:18
liwcool16:18
pedro_a couple of new faces helped out16:18
liwexcellent16:18
liwanything else about this?16:19
pedro_yes the good thing is that the bugs that we need confirmation to be fixed with nautilus-gio a good portion are fixed16:20
pedro_so thanks to all the brave bug testers ;-)16:20
liwindeed :)16:20
liw[TOPIC] Alpha 4 testing16:21
MootBotNew Topic:  Alpha 4 testing16:21
liwhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2008-January/000371.html is the announcement for Alpha 4, from yesterday, so Alpha 4 should happen tomorrow16:23
stgraberDo we have candidates ready for testing ?16:23
stgraberI have done some netboot testing yesterday with good results16:23
liwhow are we set up for that? is everything in order to start testing tomorrow once the ISOs are released?16:23
stgraberthe only problem being the new restricted-manager being buggy (I had to install my nvidia driver by hand)16:23
stgraberI have set "Hardy Alpha 4" as the default milestone on the tracker16:24
stgraberso any website admin can now add the builds (pitti and slangasek know how to do so)16:24
Hobbseeich auch16:25
liwstgraber, so the iso tracker is ready for everything? that should mean we're ready to start testing, yes?16:25
stgraberyes16:26
liwexcellent16:26
liw[TOPIC] QA-Poll beta16:27
MootBotNew Topic:  QA-Poll beta16:27
nandoh, my turn.16:27
stgrabernand: stage is yours :)16:27
nandWell, I was hoping to see heno today for the domains names!16:27
nandotherwise everything is ready16:28
nandfor upload and a private testing period16:28
stgraberapart from the fact that we need to merge devel with trunk again (which may take some time) :)16:28
nandI just need confirmation for the subdomains to tweak my .htaccess scripts :)16:28
nandyes :)16:28
nandThis WE, if you are available16:29
stgraberWhat I also wanted to ask here about that is also : Who will be part of the private beta ?16:29
nandsry, pple around16:30
nandI'd say the QA team16:30
nandand some others... But we cannot publicy announce it yet I guess.16:31
stgraberthe idea is not to have people advertising it through blog posts or things like that as we may have to change some bits16:31
nandyes.16:31
nandSo I'd say the team and trusted friends16:31
liwis the private beta expected to last long?16:32
stgraberI personally thought ot : Canonical QA team + nand + evand (he was beta tester for the first implementation of qa-poll) + davmor2 + myself16:32
stgraberliw: my plan was from Tribe-4 till Tribe-516:32
nandthe time for me to fix everything you find :) I hope no more than two weeks16:33
stgraberliw: public release happening short after Tribe-516:33
liwthat's pretty short16:33
liwwhich is good16:33
stgraberthat's a 2-3 weeks window, good if we don't find any major bug/lack16:33
nandyes. I'd really like it to be released at least two months before the hardy release, to gather a good lot of ideas16:33
nandyes16:34
stgraberanyway, I think we'll need Canonical's approval for the final release as it was planned to advertise it quite a bit (it's not a devel tool)16:34
nandI guess so16:34
liwanything else about the qa-poll beta?16:35
nandnothing else to add.16:35
nandstgraber: let's see this week end about it?16:36
liwin that case...16:36
liw#endmeeting16:36
MootBotMeeting finished at 16:36.16:36
liwwhee16:36
pedro_thanks all16:37
stgrabernand: works for me16:37
stgrabernand: I'll need to check that all the patches I have done in the trunk are also done in the devel branch to avoid regressions16:38
stgrabernand: I think I did them the same time in both, but I would like to be sure of that before merging16:38
* liw runs off to an irl meeting *sigh*16:38
nandok. See ya this WE then!16:38
stgraberliw: have a good irl meeting16:39
* nand is back to work16:39

dendrobatesI am also a Canonical employee.  I manage the server and security team , of which, jdstrand and keescook are a part.20:10
keescookcrimsun: what things are you generally interested in from a security perspective?  everyone else so far, I can guess at.  :)20:10
crimsunkeescook: development processes, IDS/IPS, auditing generally.20:11

emgentMy main interest are: auditing generally and penetration tests20:14
keescookokay, cool.  Let's move to the first item on the agenda20:15
keescook[TOPIC] CVE status20:15
MootBotNew Topic:  CVE status20:15
keescookone of the things jdstrand, Fujitsu, and I have been working on is getting the Ubuntu CVE tracker looking good20:16
keescookat present, the tracker is in bzr, and we're doing well keeping up with things.20:16
keescookthere's always more work to do, but for anyone interested in issue tracking, check it out:20:16
keescook[LINK] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-cve-tracker/20:17
MootBotLINK received:  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-cve-tracker/20:17
keescookpretty soon we should have the finishing touches on an HTML export of the data (jdstrand has done some great work on this)20:17
emgentcool20:17
jdstrandI'd like to mention that the ubuntu-cve-tracker covers all packages, not just main20:17
keescookyes, very good point.20:17
keescooksome of it is a bit out of date -- one tool that needs to be (re)written is a changelog-scanner that can see when CVEs are fixed on upload.20:18

joejaxx:)20:18
keescookthat's all I wanted to mention about the tracker.  it basically drives the security update work, so it's a good place to look for things or check on stuff.20:19
keescook(and I want to start moving a little more quickly, since we've got a hard-stop at 21:00)20:20
keescookmoving on...20:20
keescook[TOPIC] AppArmor progress20:20
MootBotNew Topic:  AppArmor progress20:20
keescookthis is a bit redundant with the server team status possibly, but I thought I'd mention it quickly here too.20:20
keescookas it stands, the AppArmor infrastructure is stable and working in Hardy.  There are a few tweaks pending in the next kernel upload, but other than that, we should now match what SuSE will ship next.20:21
keescookprofile creation work continues -- I will defer to the Server Team meeting for that discussion.20:21
keescookany questions or thoughts on AppArmor?20:22
emgentnope, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppArmor is ok :)20:22
keescooksounds good.20:22
joejaxxi am glad we are matching up with SuSE :)20:22
keescook[TOPIC] SELinux progress20:22

keescookI'm on holiday next week, but I'll get these reviewed (and in theory uploaded) before feature freeze20:26
keescook[ACTION] keescook to review selinux packaging work20:26
MootBotACTION received:  keescook to review selinux packaging work20:26
keescookI'd happily welcome other eyes on it too.  :)20:26
propagandistUp till recently the focus was to get all the packages updated to upstream. That seems to be mostly done now, and we've moved to creating the 'selinux' package and testing them out. We're also updating the security policy.20:26
keescookpropagandist: have you posted any of the package builds to REVU?  That might be handy too.20:27

propagandist;o}20:28
propagandistThere is one issue with ubuntu-standard20:28
keescookpropagandist: once things are uploaded, would you be able to write a "here's how to use/test SELinux" email for ubuntu-devel and ubuntu-hardened?20:29
keescookpropagandist: what's the issue?20:29
joejaxxkeescook: i was just about to ask that20:29
joejaxx:)20:29
propagandistit is recommending apparmor-utils, which if you try to install a conflicting package with apparmor attempts to uninstall standard20:29
propagandistIt may be better for it to recommend security-utils and have apparmor-utils provide it20:30
keescookpropagandist: right, I remember this bit now -- I like the meta-package solution that was proposed20:30
propagandistkk20:30
propagandistsure thing on the email20:30
crimsunoh, meaning virtual package?  Sorry, I was looking for a security-meta.20:30
propagandistalthough there is a short quick and dirty on the wiki20:30
keescookcrimsun: sorry, yes, virtual package; my bad.  :)20:31
propagandistyes a meta package for linux-security would be ideal for handling the switching20:31
keescookpropagandist: between an PPA and REVU, it should be possible to make item 1 on the "Quick and Dirty" list very easy for people.20:31

keescookand I've been coordinating with Debian as well (Moritz announced the cousin project for hardening in Debian this week)20:34
keescookI'd really love it if people doing builds could test the wrapper (and obviously the resulting builds)20:35
keescookdoes anyone have any ideas about ways we can motivate its use, and/or track its progress?20:35
crimsunone way could be to have it hook into pbuilder.20:36
keescookcrimsun: in what way?  hooking it to dpkg-buildpackage had been discussed, but no one wanted it to be a hard Depends or anything.20:37
keescookI'd love to see about getting a full archive rebuild done with it enabled.  This was done in Debian which was very educational.20:38
jdstrandkeescook: IIRC this is going to be turned on by default in hardy+1, correct?20:39
crimsunkeescook: assuming hardening-wrapper is promoted into main, have the pbuilder package depend on it, create a separate hooks subdirectory.  This would allow people to enable it for testing by passing the pbuilder hook* options.20:39
keescookjdstrand: assuming it doesn't melt all the builds, yes.  Part of getting it tested in Hardy is to make doko happy20:39
jdstrandoh, so we are turning it on for hardy builds, at least for a while?20:39
keescookcrimsun: interesting -- I don't use pbuilder so I'm unfamiliar with the hook options.20:40
keescookjdstrand: no, I mean, the package is available for people to test with20:40
crimsunkeescook: since a lot of people should^Ware using pbuilder, it would be a fairly unintrusive method of selectively enabling it.20:40
jdstrandah, that's what I thought20:40
crimsunshould be*/are20:40
keescookcrimsun: can you write a few notes about that to the wiki page for it?20:40

MootBotNew Topic:  organized penetration testing and auditing20:43
keescookemgent has been doing some great work poking at the edges of various ubuntu services, and proposed a formalized team to do this kind of work into the future20:44
keescookemgent: what sort of plans do you have?  I have a few notes about it, but figured we should hear from you first.20:45
\shgrmpf...I'm late...but I'm there at least20:45

keescookemgent: so, one of the things that came up on MOTU was people not wanting to confuse the term "hackers".20:46
emgenti select this name because i see GNU structure20:47
keescookI don't have any strong opinion myself, but in the interests of clarity, what do you think about calling the subteam "ubuntu-pentest" or something like that?20:47
joejaxxperhaps use PenTest ?20:47
joejaxxkeescook: yeap :D20:47
keescookjoejaxx: we are of one mind! :)20:47
joejaxxkeescook: :D20:47
crimsunright, "hackers" is far too overloaded.20:47
emgentand GNU have Hackers Team, but the name it'snt important20:47
Mithrandirubuntu-pokers.20:47
keescookI've never tried -- can LP team names be changed?20:47
keescookMithrandir: heheh20:48
joejaxxkeescook: yes i believe so20:48
emgentMithrandir, lol20:48
joejaxxlol20:48
Mithrandirsuitably ambigious. :-)20:48
keescookMithrandir: then we'll need to buy chips and deal cards.20:48
keescookhehe20:48
joejaxxlol :P20:48
keescookanother topic was auditing as an area of work for the pentest team.20:49
emgentWhat would be the best name, and who is interested in contributing?20:49
keescookI tend to view successfully audit work as "grey boxing" -- looking at both source and behavior.  if you're looking at behavior, you're a pentester.20:49
keescookemgent: I'd vote for "ubuntu-pentest".  I'm highly interested, but low on time.20:49
emgentubuntu-pentest or ubuntu-fox ? :-)20:50
joejaxxyeah i would put my vote -pentest as well20:50
* Mithrandir votes for -pokers20:50
keescooklet's go with ubuntu-pentest for now?  emgent can you adjust it?20:50
emgentkeescook, sure.20:51

keescook[ACTION] emgent to rename ubuntu-hackers team to ubuntu-pentest20:51
MootBotACTION received:  emgent to rename ubuntu-hackers team to ubuntu-pentest20:51
keescookanother area of concern is making sure we attract the _right_ kind of people for the pentest work.20:51
joejaxxkeescook: yeah that is the other thing :(20:52
joejaxxwe do not want to attract the wrong crowd20:52
keescookemgent has done a great job with private disclosure, and I think making sure this remains the focus, it will be sucessful20:52
emgenthttps://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-pentest is online.20:52
emgent:)20:52
keescookso, making sure the language is unambigious on the wiki page will be good.20:52
joejaxxyeap20:53
emgentkeescook, just a moment :)20:53
keescookalso, the LP team has asked that poking at LP be done via staging.launchpad.net just in case something would break production services.20:53
keescookequally so, anything that may have bad effects should be run past the #is staff first20:54
jdstrandok good20:54
emgentok cool.20:54
Mithrandirkeescook: ITYM #canonical-sysadmin?20:54
crimsunliterally #is, or #canonical-sysadmins?20:54
jdstrandI would like to say that the language should be *very* clear20:55
keescookMithrandir: right, sorry.  #canonical-sysadmins is right20:55
\shkeescook, what about a general "you are allowed to break stuff on a commercial website", for the members of the team? thinking of the legal view of all those penetration tests20:55
jdstrandthis isn't a honeynet challenge or anything20:55
keescook\sh: yeah, agreed.20:55
\shkeescook, regarding all the nifty lawyers out there, it's necessary to address those issues first for non-canonical members :)20:56
joejaxx:)20:56
keescooklet's get some language proposed, and we can approve it for the next meeting?20:56
* mathiaz waves at keescook and sits at the back for the first security team meeting :D20:56
jdstrandif the members of the team are allowed to break stuff, then that needs to by a moderated team-- is it?20:56
joejaxxsounds good20:56
emgentkeescook, +120:56
keescookokay, 5 minutes left...20:56
\shjdstrand, hopefully yes...20:56
joejaxxjdstrand: the team is restricted at the moment20:56
joejaxxi just looked20:57
emgentkeescook, i open this ? or restricted ?20:57
jdstrandok20:57
crimsun(I was thinking to have emgent and Canonical employees be admins.)20:57
keescookemgent: leave it restricted -- we want to make sure people understand the "do no harm" ideals20:57
keescook[TOPIC] next meeting20:57

\shcrimsun, ok...other way around :)20:59
emgentkeescook, two questions:20:59
keescookemgent: sure20:59
crimsunthanks, everyone!20:59
emgent1) it's possible drop and register #ubuntu-security?20:59
keescookemgent: yes, I think we should do this, and probably start a mailing list too20:59
keescook[ACTION] keescook to poke irc ops to get #ubuntu-security online20:59
MootBotACTION received:  keescook to poke irc ops to get #ubuntu-security online20:59
emgent2) it's possible add ubuntu-security@lists.ubuntu.com ?21:00
mathiazkeescook: couldn't ubuntu-hardened be used for that ?21:00
keescookmathiaz: possibly... good point21:00
keescookemgent: is that okay with you?  the channel is pretty low-volume at the moment21:00

mathiaz#startmeeting21:03
MootBotMeeting started at 21:03. The chair is mathiaz.21:03
MootBotCommands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE]21:03
mathiazThe agenda for today is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Meeting21:03
mathiaz[TOPIC] Start a Mentoring program21:04
MootBotNew Topic:  Start a Mentoring program21:04
mathiazSo I'd like to talk about starting a mentoring program for the server team21:04
nxvl_workit would be great21:04
nxvl_workso more people can be involved on the team21:05
mathiazThe MOTU team and the Documentation have similar programs in order to attract more contributors21:05
nxvl_work(and i can get a little help starting :P)21:05
ScottK2The MOTU program has not, in my opinion, been a resounding success.21:05
keescookmathiaz: would it be joined to MOTU mentoring in some way, or is this above and beyond "regular" MOTU mentoring?21:05
* ScottK2 doesn't really like it.21:05
sorenScottK2: Why?21:05
mathiazkeescook: it wouldn't be related to the MOTU mentoring process.21:05
ScottK2Because it divides the community up.21:06
mathiazthere are different activities that can be mentored in the server team, not only packaging21:06
faulkes-I think it would be of value (as I'm new here), getting involved would make it easier for new people21:06
sorenScottK2: Not "why wasn't it a success", but "why don't you like it"?21:06
ScottK2Right21:06
mathiazlike bug triagging or documentation21:06
ScottK2There are separate mentoring lists, etc and so people go there and don't get known in the community.21:06
ScottK2It raises the barrier to entry on the regular MOTU ML/IRC.21:07
mathiazScottK2: I don't think we should copy exactly what has been done for MOTU21:07
ScottK2OK.21:07
mathiazI like the way the documentation team is doing it.21:07
* ScottK2 isn't familiar with that.21:07
mathiazI like also the concept of the MOTU reception.21:07
sommerI was just going to mention the doc team's mentoring21:07
sorenScottK2: I see what you saying about dividing the community, but I think a server specific mentoring program might lure a different demographic to help us out.21:07
mathiazthe documentation team requires potential candidates to sent out an email to the ubuntu-doc to ask for a mentor.21:08
DavieyWho is the target audience for a mentoring program?21:08
mathiazI wonder if the MOTU reception system would be better21:08
ScottK2Additionally, the existance of a mentoring program leads to people believing it's required to start contributing.21:09
mathiazDaviey: people that want to get involved in the Server Team but don't really know how21:09
ScottK2mathiaz: That's the start of dividing the community.21:09
sorenHow about if we "market" an Ubuntu Server mentoring program that is really part of the regular motu mentoring program, but we assign server-types as mentors? It wouldn't have to be totally separate.21:09
nxvl_workmathiaz: on the MOTU they have a track of who is mentoring who, and a queue of the available mentors21:09
ScottK2Unless you're in the mentoring program you have no idea who is there.  It's completely separate.21:09
mathiazsome people know exactly what they wanna do, others not really.21:09
Davieymathiaz: yes, other than social aspects of how the team works, how to contribute etc - i mean on a technical level, what would the mentor recieve?21:09
mathiazsoren: linking the mentoring program to the MOTU would focus mentees on packaging21:10
mathiazI think the server mentoring program should have broader scope21:10
sorenmathiaz: Not necessarily. The MOTU mentoring program isn't exactly a static entity.21:10
mathiazAs I already said: documentation, bug triagging, etc..21:11
\shmathiaz, I think you need a focus on people who are dealing with ubuntu/debian servers in real world environments...21:11
nxvl_workmathiaz: but you can ask the motu-mentors team to manage a second queue for server team21:11
mathiazsoren: IIUC MOTU mentoring is about packaging21:11
sorenSo far, it has been focused on getting new packagers on board, but it's open to people who just want to help fixing bugs here and there.21:11
ScottK2In my experience anyone who is afraid to ask a question via ML or IRC isn't likely to be much help in the long run.21:11
nxvl_workmathiaz: no, it isn't21:11
mathiazsoren: ok - I missed that change of focus then.21:11
nxvl_workmathiaz: it is about packaging, community, and all the aspects of the ubuntu-developing21:12
sorenMy point is:21:12
nxvl_workbut also a mentor is not always behind you saying what to do, just put goals on you and is there is you need some help21:12
sorenWe can advertise a server mentoring program..21:12
sorenif people sign up for it, we'd have people mentoring them.21:12
sorenbut21:12
\shsoren, you mean we need sysadmins filing bugs, knowing eventually how to fix the issue etc. not the ubuntu desktop user using a local apache2 on his/her homemachine21:12
sorenit could be part of the MOTU mentoring program. It wouldn't have to be completely separate from it.21:12
nxvl_worksoren: i will be the first one signed up XP21:13
nxvl_workXD21:13
sorenIf we find that Ubuntu would benefit from a change to the MOTU mentoring process, we can just propose it.21:13
ScottK2nxvl_work: What would you hope to get out of it you can't get already?21:13
nxvl_workScottK2: good point :S21:14
mathiazMay be we can advertise the MOTU mentoring process on the ServerTeam pages then21:14
ScottK2Is a serious question.21:14
ScottK2mathiaz: To what benifit?21:14
sorenI'd love to see the mentoring program expand to have domain specific branches as well.21:14
mathiazScottK2: get more people aware of this program21:14
nxvl_workmmm21:14
mathiazsoren: aggred - that's my point.21:15
ScottK2OK.21:15
mathiazpeople come to Ubuntu using different paths21:15
ScottK2I'll say I'm against it because I don't think it helps.21:15
nxvl_workok, about the cuestion of ScottK2, i find a mentoring program usefull for new developers that have really noob cuestions and they will not ask on the ML21:15
sorenPeople might not be looking to "become a MOTU", but just "want to help out with server stuff". It's not obvious at first sight that one implies the other.21:15
mathiazso the earlier they have signs about how to contribute the better21:15
nxvl_workBUT21:16
mathiazScottK2: but I aggree with you that we shouldn't duplicate processes.21:16
nxvl_worki'm also agree with ScottK2 that they can ask on the ML and IRC, as i have done se far, and is the same21:16
mathiazScottK2: If the MOTU mentoring can be used for server-oriented folks, I'm all for it.21:16
nxvl_workthere is always someone that helps21:16
mathiazsoren: exactly.21:16
ScottK2The problem is that once you push 'noob questions' off on a mentoring program, the barrier to entry just becomes higher and the problem gets works.21:16
sorenScottK2: How do you figure that?21:17
nxvl_worki think it will be better to participate on the MOTU mentoring program and teach server specific things for the ones who are interested on it21:17
faulkes-to interject, asking a question on IRC or an ML does not itself imply any commitment to the team, it's usually people looking for an answer to a problem they have21:17
nxvl_workstarting from packaging21:17
\shmathiaz, would you like to explain "server-oriented folks" to me? people having problems with the linux kernel on ubuntu-server are "server oriented" or "kernel oriented"? just asking for clarification?21:17
ScottK2soren: People don't ask basic questions because no one else does and they are afraid to look stupid.  The more those questions get asked elsewhere, the more people are afraid.21:18
mathiaz\sh: by server-oriented, I mean people that have an interest in server related software21:18
mathiaz\sh: mainly sys admin in buisness and so on21:18
ScottK2Segragating new people off on another channel doesn't create more resources to answer questions.21:18
sorenScottK2: Well, some people make sure that the tone is #ubuntu-motu isn't always as friendly as one would like. If another place that is specifically meant for newbie questions existed, people who are afraid can just ask there. I don't see the problem.21:19
mathiazthey're not necessarly interested in doing packaging work. Their server experience could be helpfull in other areas21:19
\shmathiaz, so the real problem is, that sysadmins using ubuntu on a server are not knowing about  how to deal with a bug, e.g. filing bugs or where to push a bugfix to...right?21:19
faulkes-or add documentation / implementation guides21:20
mathiaz\sh: no.. That's not what I meant. I'm trying to get more contributors on board.21:20
ScottK2soren: OK.  We'll have to agree to disagree then.21:20
nxvl_worksoren: but as ScottK2 says, MOTU is tu separete, there is #ubuntu-classroom channel, motu-mentors list, so it's kind of saying newbies here, people who know there21:20
mathiaz\sh: how can we turn them from bug reported (for ex) to bug fixer21:20
sorenIf the alternative is that they just stay away...21:21
nxvl_workmathiaz: using more the "mentoring offered" option for example is a good place to start21:22
mathiazok - so to get tings moving, I think we should get in touch with the MOTU mentoring program to see if we can colaborate on this.21:22
ScottK2My experience when people have PM'ed me with questions that they thougth were too basic for the channel is that I asked them to work on channel so others could benifit from the answers and it was all fine.21:22
nxvl_workif a new contributor comes to the LP page, clicks on mentoring offered and only sees 4 options, they walk away21:23
mathiazI'll talk with dholbach about it.21:23
nxvl_workand thats not what we want21:23
faulkes-maybe I can put this into perspective a bit, like I said, I'm new, I'm looking to get involved, however, having gone over the wiki, the team pages and what not, there is still quite a bit which eludes me from the perspective of "how do I specifically get involved with the server side of things"21:23
ScottK2soren: I think the alternative is to make the main channel of communication more open, not to make new ones.21:23
\shmathiaz, the normal case for sysadmins dealing with bugs/problems on server based linux distros is: a) they know how to file bugs into the respective bug reporting tool b) they know how to create patches c) they know how to package software for the OS of their choice...therefore we have only to deal with people, who are not falling into the sysadmin case...therefore we need to find people of the MOTU basement who are interested in working on serv21:23
\sher-related packages full-time21:23
sorenScottK2: I'd love to hear your ideas about that.21:23
faulkes-ScotK2: I would agree there, I don't think a #server-mentor or what not channel would be required21:23
sorenAgreed.21:24
mathiazfaulkes-: would it help to have a mentor for the server team to help you get started ?21:24
faulkes-mathiaz: with specific reference to dealing with ubuntu based server issues and needs, yes21:24
nxvl_workwe need to start making the communication channels more open to new contributors/basic questions21:25
ScottK2faulkes-: What keeps you from asking more questions on #ubuntu-server so you know better how to help out?21:25
mathiazfaulkes-: Is the Roadmap page to daunting ? Or the GettingInvolved page to general ?21:25
sorenIt doesn't have to be much more than just a notice on the wiki page that people can contact someone if they want to get involved. That someone can then be the mentor (or assign someone else to be the mentor), but it'd be part of the motu mentoring program.21:25
nxvl_workfor example running QA sessions on the #ubuntu-server channel21:25
* nealmcb returns home21:25
sorenhi, nealmcb.21:25
* mathiaz waves at nealmcb 21:25
sorennxvl_work: That could work.21:26
mathiazOk - let's get moving. I wanted to start a discussion. There are a lot of idea about it.21:26
faulkes-Scottk2: nothing, I waited for the meeting as it was an item on the agenda21:26
nxvl_workBUT, we need to be carefull to make all the activities on the daily communication channels, not on new ones21:26
ScottK2OK.21:26
ScottK2+1 to nxvl_work21:26
mathiazI'll send an email to ubunut-server to raise this question and get dholbach in the loop.21:27
mathiaz[ACTION] mathiaz to send an email about a mentoring program proposal to ubuntu-server21:27

sommerheh... just trying to through in some levity21:28
mathiazsoren: any news from UWN ?21:28
sorenEr.. I'm writing my interview right now, actually :)21:29
sorenIt'll most likely be in the next edition.21:29
mathiazsoren: great !21:29
mathiazother than that, I think all the action have been done (or will be reviewed later on)21:30

mathiazzul: you've a look at a lot of bugs21:31
zulyep..21:31
zulmost of them are in one state or another21:31
mathiazzul: how is samba doing ?21:31
* soren hugs zul21:31
zulmathiaz: getting there most of its waiting to hear back from users21:32
mathiazzul: I mean on the bug front21:32
* zul high fives soren21:32
mathiazshould we target another package ?21:32
zuli dont think so at this point we should talk to slangslek of course though21:32
dendrobatesmathiaz: openldap perhaps21:33
ScottK2Make it talk with db4.6?21:33
zulisnt that a performance issue?21:33
ScottK2Actually there's an upstream db4.6 issue in that21:33
ScottK2Yes.21:33
mathiazdendrobates: opendlap is already on the Roadmap.21:33
mathiazdendrobates: May be we should link to all the openldap packages (openldap2.2, openldap2.3).21:34
mathiazI though about openssh21:34
mathiazit's never been on the Roadmap21:34
dendrobatesmathiaz: I just want to remind everyone since new openldap bugs are pouring in since the update to 2.421:34
zul#69948 looks interesting for openldap21:34
mathiaz[ACTION] mathiaz to update the bug triagger section of the roadmap to highlight openldap21:36
MootBotACTION received:  mathiaz to update the bug triagger section of the roadmap to highlight openldap21:36
mathiazOn the packaging front, there is apache2 stuff.21:36
mathiazI had a look at SNI support for apache2 and got it working.21:36
* nealmcb hugs mathiaz21:37
mathiazUnfortunately openssl has to be recompiled to enable tls extension.21:37
ScottK2Someone ought to look at http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=libapache2-mod-authnz-external too.21:37
zulits already in universe21:37
mathiazaccording to the openssl debian maintainer it may require a abi bump21:37
sorenmathiaz: "may"? Where's the patch?21:38
mathiazsoren: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=46259621:38
ubotuDebian bug 462596 in openssl "openssl: Please include support for tls extensions / server name indication" [Wishlist,Open]21:38
mathiazsoren: there isn't any patch for openssl. it's just a configure option at build that has to be added.21:39
=== \sh is now known as \sh_away
mathiazsoren: but to get apache2 working with SNI, I first had to rebuild openssl, install it and rebuild apache2.21:39
mathiazsoren: otherwise apache2 would be compiled with SNI enabled.21:39
sorenmathiaz: Right. As slangasek says: the structs are exposed in public header files, so changing them means an ABI bump.21:40
sorenmathiaz: for openssl, that is.21:40
mathiazsoren: yop - so I'm not sure what would be the impact at this time of the release cycle.21:41
sorenmathiaz: slangasek would be the person to ask.21:41
mathiazsoren: ok. I'll talk to him then.21:41
soren(He's the release manager in case anyone doesn't know)21:41

ivoksstill nothing :/21:44
mathiazivoks: ok.21:44
* lamont is somewhat here21:44
mathiazsommer: what's going on on the documentation front ?21:45
ScottK2mathiaz: On that note - If we can get the amavisd-new MIR processed soon it'd be nice to integrate that with tasksel.21:45
mathiazScottK2: it's in the hand of the MIR team (ie pitti and doko).21:45
sommermathiaz: still cruisin21:45
ScottK2mathiaz: So maybe you can enourage them.21:45
mathiazsommer: is there any change in the milestone dates ?21:46
sommermathiaz: not that I know of21:46
sommerI think they've been posted somewhere on the wiki21:46
sommeractually I'm not really 100% sure they're official21:46
* doko is not sure that we do want that in main ...21:46
sommerbesides the final freeze21:47
sommerbut since there hasn't been much discussion, I'd think everyone agrees21:47
sommeror doesn't have major objection21:47
mathiazsommer: ok. I've seen a new contribution in the security section21:48
ScottK2doko: It'd be without the milter package so we don't need to bring Sendmail bits into Main.21:48
sommerya, that's been really great working with him21:48
sorendoko: Want what in main? amavisd-new?21:48
sommerhopefully we can cover more ground21:48
mathiazsommer: the guide is maintained in bzr ?21:48
sommerstill working on the virtualization section21:48
mathiazsommer: has the wiki page wrote up by soren been usefull ?21:49
sommermathiaz: yep: https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu-docs21:49
sorenI rather consider it a scaffold on which to build proper documentation. :)21:49
sommermathiaz: ya, I wasn't too sure how to integrate it with qemu, but I think soren cleared that up21:50
sorenDid I? Er.. Ok, then :)21:50
sommergilbert the other contributer may be working on a kvm section21:50
sommersoren: the other day :-)21:50
sorensommer: If you say so :D21:50
mathiazthere was some discussion in #ubuntu-server about it.21:51
mathiazhas the wiki page been updated wrt these discussion ?21:51
sommermathiaz: the server roadmap, or the virtetc page?21:51
mathiazsommer: viretc21:52
sommernot that I know, of... I plan to devote some time to it this weekend21:52
* soren hugs sommer21:52
mathiazI'm refering to the kvm discussion in #ubuntu-server21:52
sommerif not before21:52
sommermathiaz: gotcha, I'll do some updates with regards to qemu21:53
mathiazsommer: great ! Thanks.21:53
mathiazthat leads us to the virtualization front21:53
mathiazsoren: any updates on this ?21:53
sorenSince last meeting? Er..21:54
sorenWell, yes.21:54
sorenI got the kernel side of kvm updated. On the guest side, I've added the fancy new virtio stuff that massively improves I/O from inside the guest.21:54
nealmcbmathiaz: when was this kvm discussion in #ubuntu-server?21:55
sorenOn the host side, I've updated the kvm modules shipped with our kernel images to match what was released with kvm 60.21:55
mathiaznealmcb: don't remember exactly - I think it was last week.21:55
sorenThis fixed a whole host (pun intended) of bugs. Most importantly, the gfxboot screen now shows up properly when booting a Hardy ISO.21:55
mathiaznealmcb: I remember sommer asking question about it21:55
sommernealmcb: feels more like around monday to me21:56
sorenEr... Well, it will once the kernel is uploaded.21:56
sommerit was a short converstation21:56
dendrobatessoren: I was about to object.21:56
sorenThe virtio stuff is there, though. You need to pass special arguments to kvm to enable it, but I'm working on getting that into libvirt.21:56
mathiazsoren: so that means KVM can be used to test isos ?21:56
mathiazsoren: I meant livecd isos specifically21:57
sorenmathiaz: There's one more thing I need to a) fix in kvm (upstream bug) and b) fix in X, then it should be rocking.21:57
sorenRight now, it's a bit... rough.21:57
mathiazsoren: excellent. That was pitti's main concern about kvm in hardy.21:57
mathiazdendrobates: any news on likewise ?21:58
dendrobatesmathiaz: yes.21:58
dendrobatesmathiaz: I have packaged 4.0.4 and uploaded to chinstrap.21:59
dendrobatesbaring any issues, it should be uploaded to universe tomorrow.21:59
dendrobatesthe giu has been changed to gtk, which is much better.22:00
mathiazdendrobates: how can it be tested ?22:00
mathiazdendrobates: or what are the main features ?22:00
mathiazdendrobates: If it's uploaded before Alpha 4, we should a section in the Release notes about it.22:01
dendrobatesonce it is uploaded, you can use it to join a windows domain22:01
mathiazdendrobates: either from the command line or using the gui22:01
dendrobateswith a cli or gui.22:01
mathiazdendrobates: ?22:01
mathiazdendrobates: could you add section the Release Notes for Alpha 4 ? or ask nijaba to take care of it ?22:02
dendrobatesmathiaz: np22:02
mathiaz[ACTION] dendrobates will add a section to the Alpha 4 Release Notes about windows integration.22:02
MootBotACTION received:  dendrobates will add a section to the Alpha 4 Release Notes about windows integration.22:02
mathiazdendrobates: I've seen two emails (I think it was the same guy) asking about windows integration.22:03
sommeris alpha4 released tomorrow?22:03
mathiazsommer: yes actually...22:03
mathiazsommer: it may too late for the Release Notes then.22:04
sommercool, couldn't remember exact date22:04
* mathiaz thought it was tuesday22:04
* jdstrand added something to the release notes today...22:04
ScottK2mathiaz: I think for the alphas it's on a wiki.22:04
mathiazjdstrand: about UFW ?22:04
jdstrandmathiaz: yes22:04
jdstrandit is on the wiki-- let me get the url22:05
mathiazScottK2: yes - I think that all the release notes are prepared on the wiki22:05
ScottK2So there is no "to late"22:05
jdstrandhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron/Alpha422:05
mathiazjdstrand: is there more testing done on UFW ?22:06
jdstrandmathiaz: I wan't meaning to take over the conversation, but if you're ready for the ufw update...22:07
nxvl_worki have tested yesterday IIRC22:07
mathiazjdstrand: please do22:07
jdstrandI sent an email to ubuntu-server and ubuntu-devel-discuss22:07
jdstrandI haven't heard much, excepting nxvl_work22:07
jdstrandit is in pretty good shape22:08
jdstrandhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall22:08
jdstrandthere are instructions on testing in the wiki22:08
=== _bigon is now known as bigon
sommerjdstrand: woops I forgot to give you some feedback, but I tried ufw out last week and it worked great22:08
mathiazjdstrand: excellent. It may get more coverage once alpha4 is being published22:09
sommerhaven't had a chance to test the new version though22:09
jdstrandsommer: great! check out 0.922:09
sommerjdstrand: will do22:09
mathiazjdstrand: keescook: now that there is security meeting, do you still wanna discuss apparmor and other bits in the server team meeting ?22:10
mathiazor should it be moved to the security meeting ?22:10
keescookmathiaz: well, it overlaps22:10
jdstrandI'll mention that I hope to get some profile work and testing done soon22:10
keescookmathiaz: the profile work is, I think, more closely tied to server team work than security work22:11
keescooki.e. it's a per-service kind of thing22:11
mathiazkeescook: right.22:11
keescookso, unless there is objection, I'd like to keep the apparmor profiling discussion part of this meeting22:11
mathiazkeescook: WFM22:11
keescookand focus the "infrastructure" work in the security team22:11
keescookokay22:11
mathiazpitti asked me if there was plans to create a profile for the dhcp client so that the derooting patch can be dropped.22:12
mathiazIf someone wants to get started with profile generation, that would be a very good starting point22:12
jdstrandsince we are talking about profile generation-- I plan on doing slapd, named and mysqld22:13
emgent:)22:13
jdstrandsome of those are in apparmor-profiles, so I'll do testing22:13
mathiazjdstrand: excellent. I did generate them during last release cycle22:14
mathiazzul: Thanks for all the MIR writing.22:14
jdstrandmathiaz: right, I hope to build on that and get them out of apparmor-profiles and into the package22:14
mathiazzul: anything left on there ?22:14
zulno problem22:14
mathiazhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerPackageReview22:15
zulmost of them are pending on the mir team i havent gotten to one yet22:15
jdstrands/the package/their respective packages/22:15
mathiazsoren: iscsi stuff ?22:15
zulmathiaz: openhpi yet because I dont have a clue on that package22:15
sorenNo news, I'm afraid.22:15
zuli agree with fabio about bacula it shouldnt go into main either22:16
mathiazzul: you mentionned you've fixed iscsi target22:16
zulyep, the kernel stuff is building with 2.6.24 now22:16
zuldrbd kernel stuff is in the kernel-team's git archive22:16
ScottK2mathiaz: Last meeting I thought there was going to be a message to the server team ML about packages thrown out of the spec.  Did I miss it?22:16
mathiazzul: is it a package in universe ?22:16
zulmathiaz: yes22:16
mathiazzul: do you plan to move it to ubuntu-modules22:17
zulmathiaz: i could22:17
mathiazScottK2: nope. I didn't send it.22:17
zuli thought I was just suppose to report back at the meeting22:17
mathiazzul: OTOH it's really high priority.22:17
zulmathiaz: ill put it on my todo list then for tomorrow morning22:17
mathiazzul: for hardy, we focus more on initiator22:17
zulconsider it done22:18
mathiazzul: could you send an email to ubuntu-server about the reason to drop bacula from the ServerPackageReview list ?22:18
ScottK2mathiaz: Please do.22:18
zulmathiaz: yep22:18
sommeris there another "enterprise" backup package in main?22:19
mathiaz[ACTION] zul will send an email to ubuntu-server about bacula in main22:19
MootBotACTION received:  zul will send an email to ubuntu-server about bacula in main22:19
sommeror integrated backup anyway22:19
zulamanda is in universe but that was rejected22:19
mathiazsommer: not that I know of.22:19
sommerokay, just wondering for the backup section of the docs22:20
mathiazzul: yep - the other option was amanda.22:20
sommertar never let anyone down :-)22:20
ivokswe decided that bacula had more features22:20
zulyeah but it has a big gapping security hole22:20
ivoksright :/22:21
mathiazzul: any news or plan on the xen front ?22:21
zulmathiaz: uploaded 2.6.24 final patch today will upload xen-3.2 final tomorrow22:22
zuler...the patch went to the kernel-team's git repo22:22
mathiazis there any integration with libvirt ?22:23
zulnot that I know of right now22:23
nealmcba virtualization question occurred to me.  are any virtual images of hardy available for testing under gutsy via kvm and the like?  e.g. for testing server-related packages?22:23
dendrobateslibvirt works with xen by default, unless soren has borked that.22:23
sorenIf I did, it wasn't on purpose :)22:24
nealmcbas opposed to isos that need installing....22:24
zuli always used xen-image-create :)22:24
sorennealmcb: We don't currently have "blessed" vm images, no.22:24
nealmcbare there plans to offer them?  folks have wanted them in the past, and this would be a good time to start testing the build stuff22:25
zulwell you could probably use jeos :)22:25
mathiazit may be worth checking that xen can be integrated with soren's work on virtualization22:25
zuli can look into i22:26
zulit even22:26
dendrobateszul: can you put xen in a ppa?22:26
zulsure22:26
nealmcbzul: sure - jeos would be a popular one to start with, and a vm image would be lots more fun than an iso I think.22:27
dendrobatesI'll test it out tomorrow22:27
zuldendrobates: ill put my kernel .debs on chinstrap for you as well22:27
dendrobateszul: ok22:28
mathiaz[ACTION] dendrobates to test xen support in libvirt.22:28
MootBotACTION received:  dendrobates to test xen support in libvirt.22:28
mathiazivoks: are you still working on [BOTTOM][TOP]Simplify storage management (RAID1 - LVM-on-RAID) during installation ?22:29
mathiazivoks: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Roadmap#head-a36fb4f1b51aa401df3eb5d44fb737ddc5731cd022:29
ivoksmathiaz: didn't touch it for weeks22:30
ivoksi'm kind on middle of exam period on faculty, so i have little time22:30
mathiazivoks: still working on it ?22:30

nealmcbwhat image format(s) would we supply?  qcow2?22:32
ScottK2Can we talk about libdb transitions?22:32
ScottK2It seems most of the packages left on the older libdb releases has issues with on disk format chagnes.22:33
ScottK2chagnes/changes22:33
mathiazScottK2: I think pitti is working on getting libdb4.{234} out of main22:33
mathiazScottK2: you may wanna ask him about this.22:34
ScottK2mathiaz: Yes and we could probably get 2 and 3 out of Ubuntu entirely with a little work.22:34
ScottK24.2 is down to about a half dozen packages.22:34
mathiazScottK2: do you have a list of these packages ?22:35
ScottK2Yes22:36
mathiazScottK2: It may worth adding a point in the Packager section of the Roadmap22:36
nxvl_workand also put that list somewhere22:36
mathiazScottK2: and list the packages.22:36
mathiazScottK2: there.22:36
mathiazScottK2: another option could be to file bugs against the relevant packages in LP22:37
ScottK2Adding it.22:37
