Rinchen[TOPIC] Next meeting19:03
MootBotNew Topic:  Next meeting19:03
RinchenThere was some rather vocal pre-meeting discussion about how the 18:00 UTC meeting time no longer works for the European team members now that the Northern Hemisphere is on DST.19:03
RinchenDST ends in NZ on the 6th which would mean that next week could start the meeting at 17:00 UTC and this would restore the meeting time to the usual hour. I understand this is still not convenient for the eastern Europeans but it would be 7am in NZ allowing those folks to participate.19:03
thumperah, 17:00 UTC is 5am19:03
jtvOr midnight for me19:04
gmbEven *I* think that would be harsh...19:04
Rinchenhmm I must have misread timeanddate.com then19:04
thumperfor NZ take UTC and add 12 hours19:04
thumperI could do 6am19:04
thumperbut 5am is a little harsh19:04
Rinchenyeah, indeed19:05
Rinchenwe could move the meeting up19:05
Rinchenbut even at 14:00 it'll be 2am19:05

gmbUnless they're sartorially shoddy...19:06
flacostegmb: that also ;-)19:06
bigjoolsit's going to suck for *someone* whatever we do19:06
kikoI think we shouldn't change the date, as much as it pains northerners19:06
kikoor the time19:07
SteveAme19:07
Rinchenyeah, even the meeting spreadsheet doesn't help us due to our diversity19:07
intellectronicahow about rotation, so it only sucks some of the time?19:07
kikothis meeting time is totally geared towards tim -- if we change it to be one hour closer to death from him, we've failed19:07
thumpermy only suggestion would be to have rotation19:07
thumperintellectronica: exactly19:07
kikoa lot of people would miss meetings, I suspect19:07
kikorotations are really confusing19:08
kikowell, here's my proposal19:08
schwukthey are19:08
bigjoolsthumper: just move back to London :)19:08
RinchenI agree because they wouldn't know when the meeting would be19:08
sinzuiThe sparsest population is San Francisco and Denver. Should we move the meeting to 13:0019:08
adeuringan email reminder can help19:08
kikothumper decides whether it's 18:00 or 17:00 UTC19:08
kikoand we try a rotation for the team leads meeting for 2 weeks19:08
kikoif it works for that smaller group we can try it for the larger group19:08
Rinchen(which starts on Monday)19:08
thumper18:0019:09
kikois that workable for the next 2 weeks?19:09
Rinchenok by me but I'm not affected19:09
Rinchenanyone deeply opposed?19:09
danilosany chance to get a more relaxed excuses for missing meetings then?19:09
RinchenI'd say take that discussion up with your manager.19:10
jtv...who is sitting right next to him19:10
RinchenI have no problem with it so long as it's not a regular occurrence and someone covers for you19:10
Rinchencovers and provides feedback about the meeting of course19:10
kikodanilos, it's only one meeting a week -- it's not like you don't get a lot of flexibility otherwise.19:10
stubIs this meeting still considered essential for everyone now the teams have grown and been reorganized? (assuming yes, but I don't know if this has been discussed)19:11
kikoI can see that if it's after 10pm or before 7am it's nasty19:11
kikoI think the meeting is one thing that helps ensure people are on the same page in a number of things19:11
daniloskiko: that's true, but see stub19:11
kikodanilos, I'm really sympathetic to stub, jtv and thumper for that reason19:11
intellectronicalet's discuss this again after you've experimented with rotation for  for the team leads meeting. no point going on about this for hours here and how19:11
kikookay19:11
kikofair enough. thanks19:11
barrykiko: i don't care what you do, just be sure to send a very clear email to the list stating when the next meeting is ;)19:12
kikobarry, in what timezone? :)19:12

kikoherb, what's the issue with the staging update script?19:22
mthaddonkiko, we're adding an option to allow non DB-import version19:22
herbkiko, no issue, just a change in the way we deploy the code.19:22
mthaddonkiko, at the moment, non-DB import on staging is manual - we're adding it as an option to the script so it can be consistent and quicker in the future19:23

Rinchen[TOPIC] DBA report (stub)19:25
MootBotNew Topic:  DBA report (stub)19:25
stubCurrently our full text indexes are only indexing the first 2.5k of text for a row. This is screwing up package searchi (Bug 207969). I'll be landing a patch that turns off this limit so we can test on staging to see if anything blows up. I think the limit is left over from limitations on earlier PG versions.19:25
stubI want to have the auth/person split finalized next week and implementation started. I need to go over the options and recommendations with Mark first.19:25
stubI've been seeing more idle open transactions being killed by our transaction reaper - fiera and poexport I think. These should be obvious in the OOPS report (server closed connection). If this is a problem and can't be fixed in the short term let me know and we can discuss increasing the timeouts.19:25
ubotuLaunchpad bug 207969 in soyuz "ppa search fail to return expected results on some cases" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/20796919:25
stubWe have two options for migrating to PG 8.3. Do it whenever while the data centre machines are running dapper and take around a 3.5 hour downtime hit, or wait until the DC machines are running hardy and we can run Slony-I. This will allow us to do the migration with a few minutes of downtime. I'm thinking waiting for Hardy unless elmo wants to delay DC upgrades for some reason.19:25
stubAll for now.19:25
danilosstub: fyi, those 'poexport' leftovers could be from manual killings of poexport script to solve some problems19:26
kikostub, I'm hoping for hardy soon, too19:26
kikolet's see what the release looks like19:26

salgadokiko, I don't see what is your concern. the only problem we've seen so far is with python-xml and python-pkg-resources19:36
kikothis is really important, because otherwise we're at a distro blind spot just filing bugs19:36
carlosRinchen: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/20841819:36
ubotuLaunchpad bug 208418 in bzr "ValueError when trying to pull/merge from a remote repository" [Critical,Confirmed]19:36
kikosalgado, that's two packages already19:36
salgadothe latter not being in lp-deps so not really a problem19:36
kikoand counting19:36
kikowell.. so yes, this problem goes beyond deps, salgado19:36
kikowhat's your point? should we not worry? :)19:36
salgadowe should19:37
kikookay! :)19:37
salgadoI just don't expect it to be a big deal19:37
salgadomaybe I'm just too optimist19:37
kikowell, it's a big deal if we need to pin or downgrade packages past the hardy release19:37
kikolet's make sure we get these fixed before that.19:37
kikoover and out! send bugs to Rinchen19:37
Rinchen[AGREED] there is concern that hardy will affect our dependencies. e.g. python-xml no longer contains a module we need.  Devs to provide bugs of this sort to Rinchen for follow up19:37

Rinchen[TOPIC]  A top user-affecting issue (mrevell)19:38
MootBotNew Topic:   A top user-affecting issue (mrevell)19:38
mrevellYo.19:38
kikoYo!19:38
mrevellother than the POT export failure, which the Translations guys are dealing with, I haven't seen any major issues this week. However, in the launchpad-users thread on bug noise, Bruce Cowan links to a fascinating blog post and comment discussion on karma hunting (http://www.sourcecode.de/content/dealing-with-bugs-no-karma-hunting). The suggestion is that some people edit bugs in an unhelpful manner simply to boost their karma. It19:38
mrevellmakes interesting reading, even if just to see views on how karma influences people's actions in LP.19:38
kikoI should read that, I have lots of karma19:39
RinchenWe've had amazing OpenID feedback since we launched too..... amazing as in a lot of it19:39
mrevellI would be interested to hear from anyone else who has seen a user-affecting issue that they'd like to discuss, though.19:39
stubThe fact I still get Bug #1 spam (and other bugs too) bugs me19:39
kikostub, is that bug invalidated for Launchpad?19:39
mwhudsonyes19:39
kikoI was looking at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/malone/+bug/8348819:39
ubotuLaunchpad bug 83488 in malone "Implicitly unsubscribe bug contact when bug is Invalid" [Undecided,Confirmed]19:39
kikotoday19:39
stubSo invalid targets shouldn't get mail any more? Cool.19:40
kikoI wish it weren't so controversial19:40
mwhudson(there's a bug about this problem too, i think)19:40
kikoyes19:40
kikothere is19:40
statikI was really pleased to note yesterday that zed shaw started using bazaar and launchpad http://www.zedshaw.com/projects/vellum/19:40
kikothat's very cool19:40
kikoI've been seeing lots of people request project groups19:41
mrevellstatik: nice hat19:41
kikoso19:41
statikah, that reminds me!19:41
statikuser affecting issue19:41
statikwhen people start using launchpad19:41
statikthey almost ALWAYS forget to link their bazaar branch to the trunk series19:41
abentleykiko: I think that unsubscribing from the bug is wrong.  There should be a way to delete the BugTask.19:41
statikwhich means that bzr get lp:project doesn't work19:42
abentleyThere are *lots* of annoying things about the continued existence of invalid bugtasks.19:42
thumperstatik: I tried to make that a bit more obvious on the project code page19:42
thumperst19:42
thumperstatik: perhaps we need to work out a better way19:42
thumperstatik: mdz suggested making "bzr push lp:project" autolink19:43
statikthumper: yeah, I've just realized over the last week that almost every new project i saw in launchpad I had to email them and tell them to hook up their branch to trunk19:43
thumperstatik: which requires api's to work as a privledged user19:43
thumperbut would be cool19:43
barrystatik: happens to me all the time, and i /know/ i have to do that19:43
mwhudsonthumper: something for the branch/+new page too?19:44
kikoabentley, well.. deleting bugtasks is a possibility, too. it's just nastier and gives off a different impression than invalidation.19:44
mwhudsonif user is owner and there is no trunk.user_branch then ...19:44
thumpermwhudson: perhaps...19:44
kikogood call mwhudson19:44
thumpermwhudson: best to talk with poolie, but he might agree19:45
mwhudsondoesn't help if the user doesn't use the +new page19:45
mwhudsonthumper: right19:45
* Rinchen glances at the clock.19:45
RinchenI'm going to move on then....19:46
Rinchenthanks for the discussion19:46
Rinchen[TOPIC] Doc Team report (mrevell)19:46
MootBotNew Topic:  Doc Team report (mrevell)19:46
mrevellHowdy. I've published the new Help wiki home page, along with the YourAccount, Teams and Projects sections of the new user guide. In the mean time, while waiting for the new user guide sections, I've linked to existing material in the "user guide" section of the new front page.19:46
mrevellFollowing on from last week's meeting, we've had a positive response to the idea of a frequent update detailing changes on edge. We seem to have a split, right now, between those who'd prefer a feed and those who are happy with email. I'd say using the beta testers team's mailing list for these updates would be the least-effort option right now.19:46
mrevellHowever it's presented, beta team members seem keen to get this information, as it'll enable them to actively test things we haven't announce in some other way, rather than stumble across them.19:46
mrevellThe only real time-drag I can see, in actually producing the report, is finding if the feature/fix has made it to edge.19:46
mrevellthanks Rinchenator19:47
gmbmrevell: Can we not create a script for you that would do the hard work?19:47
kikomrevell, we should probably just stick this on edge itself..19:47
mrevellkiko: In the way poolie suggested?19:47
gmbThat sounded more subservient than I'd intended...19:47
kikoi.e. in a hideable element present overlayed19:47
RinchenI rather liked poolies NEWS idea19:47
kikoyeah19:47
mwhudsonmrevell: doesn't the "build 6002" thing in the footer help with that?19:47
Rinchenbut it's an extra step to do news19:48
* mwhudson has unpleasant thoughts about conflicts19:48
mrevellmwhudson: Yeah, it would, although commit 6001 might not be on edge because a db change19:48
abentleyLet everyone create a description of their feature.  One per file, so you don't get conflicts.  Require it in reviews.19:48
mwhudsonmrevell: uh19:48
thumperabentley: ah, a news.d directory19:48
mwhudsonmrevell: either you or i are confused here :)19:48
mrevellmwhudson: Or am I confused?19:48
mrevellmwhudson: Most likely me :)19:48
abentleythumper: Pretty much.19:49
mwhudsonmrevell: lets take this elsewhere19:49
mrevellmwhudson: k19:49
RinchenThe advantage of a news.d directory or similar is that we can feed that automagically19:49
Rinchenrather than mrevell having to sift through commits to produce something19:49
thumperand no conflicts19:49
thumper(with suitable naming scheme)19:49
kikoI'm not opposed to it19:49
kikowould engineers be discliplined enough about it, though?19:50
Rinchenyeah. I'm happy to try to automate something else but the key for me is that it be automated...and not time consuming.19:50
kikoRinchen, hold a vote?19:50
thumperhow about a directory called "edge-news"?19:50
kikowell, it's not really just edge news19:50
mrevellI'd always be available to help write or review these news snippets.19:50
kikoif we do it that way19:50
statikthat's interesting, as the news entry would then be part of the code review19:50
thumperkiko: they only need to write something if they want explicit testing19:50
kikoit's news.d really19:50
kikothumper, explicit announcement, I hope you mean?19:50
mrevellthumper: Yeah, simple bug fixes or whatever wouldn't need it.19:50
thumperwell, yea19:50
daniloswarning: we are over time already ;)19:50
kikothis isn't just for testing19:51
mrevellI'll open a thread on the ML19:51
kikoit's for communicating to people what we're doing19:51
stubNews on edge is different to News on production ('Please beta test this new feature' vs. 'here is this cool new feature')19:51
kikoagreed19:51
kikothough one is a batched and subsetted form of another if you provide a full changelog19:51
kikoI'm not sure -- just musing19:51
* sinzui rescues children from state institution. 19:52
kikoanyway, good plan with mrevell opening a thread, let's just not drop it19:52
abentleySo tragic to be institutionalized so young.19:52
kikomoveing on19:52
Rinchenmrevell, let's chat about this when you have time19:52
