=== ubottu changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Current meeting: MOTU | Calendar: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/ | 09 May 16:30 UTC: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Team | 14 May 06:00 UTC: Platform Team | 14 May 21:00 UTC: Server Team | 15 May 13:00 UTC: Desktop Team
LaserJockah, I have 2 after here04:59
persia_Any volunteers to chair?04:59
* ajmitch is just here for the LaserJock fan club04:59
LaserJockdo we have the fancy bot in here andymore?05:00
ajmitchnot that I can see05:00
LaserJockI can chair but I don't know how to use the bot05:00
TheMusoDamn bots, we become too dependant on them.05:00
persia_That's OK.  There's no bot.  Are you sure you want to both chair and have all the agenda items?05:00
ajmitchthey'll take over one day05:00
LaserJockpersia_: then you chair :-)05:01
persia_Bah.05:01
TheMusoI can chair if you'd like.05:01
persia_Welcome to the MOTU Meeting for 9th May 2008.05:01
ajmitchhow about we hold a meeting on how to hold the MOTU meeting?05:01
* TheMuso gets the agenda up.05:01
persia_The agenda is available from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Meetings05:01
persia_Who would be willing to handle minutes & announcements for the next meeting?05:02
* TheMuso raises his hand.05:02
persia_TheMuso: Thank you.05:02
persia_OK.  First up, LaserJock re: Name/need for MOTU fan club?05:02
LaserJockyeah05:02
LaserJockso this is from our last meeting05:02
ajmitchstate your rationale behind this suggestion05:02
LaserJockwhere we renamed ubuntu-universe-contributors to revu-uploaders05:03
LaserJocksome people thought we should have an open team for people who wish to associate with MOTU can join05:03
RAOFSo people can LP badge hunt?05:04
ajmitchso that they can feel involved?05:04
ajmitchthis team would have no functional purpose then?05:04
LaserJockit's purpose is to help people find "identity"05:04
LaserJockajmitch: not presently no05:04
persia_Badge hunting / feeling involved sounds clearer than "fan club" to me.05:04
RAOFVery much so.05:04
ajmitchso this would come before the team that grants ubuntu membership which is prior to upload rights?05:04
LaserJockpersia_: yeah, I just threw it up there05:04
lifelessbadge hunting is a time honoured wow tradition05:04
LaserJockajmitch: yep05:05
ajmitchteam proliferation05:05
RAOFYeah.  I don't really see how membership of an entirely open team maps to feeling involved in anything but a transient way.05:06
LaserJocksebner last time said he joined u-u-c just to gain some identity with the team05:06
ajmitchRAOF: like my involvement with MOTU? ;)05:07
LaserJockI've seen a few times where people have asked if they could join a team to get into MOTU05:07
RAOFI'd suggest hanging around in #u-motu is both a better way to feel involved and learn useful things at the same time.05:07
LaserJockRAOF: for sure, but that doesn't really say anything about a team05:08
LaserJockit's an orthogonal issue05:08
TheMusoDoesn't make sense to me.05:08
LaserJockpersia_: thoughts?05:08
RAOFLaserJock: I thought the idea was to make people feel more involved?05:08
ajmitchanyone can create such a team, to be honest05:09
LaserJockRAOF: for people who see joining such a team, yes05:09
* persia_ temporarily takes off the "chair" hat.05:09
LaserJockbut it doesn't mean that joining #ubuntu-motu is any less important05:09
ajmitchthat must be a heavy hat05:09
LaserJockajmitch: it's a small chair05:09
persia_Such a team might make sense, if there was a known purpose, and a clear demand.  I'm not sure there is value if there is no demand, and no known purposed05:09
LaserJockagreed for sure05:10
RAOFAnd that it's a distraction from a useful way to feel involved; ie: hang in #motu or join the motu list.05:10
LaserJockmy agenda item is mostly a response to what sebner said last time05:10
ajmitchit would give people some way to say "I'm a foo!05:11
ajmitch"05:11
ajmitchbut no more05:11
LaserJockwell05:11
ajmitchfill in foo with the appropiate team member name05:11
LaserJockwe currently have no good way of seeing who's associated with MOTU05:11
LaserJockin terms of new people05:11
ajmitchwhat does it mean to be associated?05:12
ajmitchare you looking at potential MOTUs?05:12
ajmitchrevu-uploaders?05:12
LaserJockwell, it shows interest05:12
LaserJockand potential for contribution05:12
LaserJockwe'd surely get badge hunters05:13
RAOFWhat would we do with the knowledge of interest or potenital contribution?05:13
ajmitchI'm not opposed to the idea, I just don't see it being much use05:14
ajmitchmaybe as a psychological stepping-stone into MOTU05:14
bbyeveri think people show more interest when they join a channel or a mailling list than just a lp team05:14
RAOFI mean, that we wouldn't get by people popping up in #motu or on the motu list?05:14
LaserJockwell, would it be worth an email to -motu asking if people are interested?05:15
* persia_ redons hat05:15
persia_There doesn't seem to be much of either agreement or argument.05:15
TheMusoMaybe its something for the ML.05:15
persia_LaserJock: Could you put together a draft wiki page decsribing the potential team for representation at a future meeting?05:15
persia_(or the mailing list :) )05:16
ajmitchpersia_: probably because it's such a non-intrusive change that it wouldn't mean much to us either way05:16
LaserJockpersia_: I think an email would be best. I'm not sure a wiki page is going to do much right now05:16
persia_ajmitch: Perhaps, but my immediate concern is about finishing the agenda within an hour :)05:16
ajmitchwell the next 2 items aren't too long, I'm sure :)05:16
LaserJockpersia_: if we get lost of response I/we can do a wiki page for a formal proposal05:16
persia_LaserJock: Makes sense.  Anything else you want to add for this item, or shall we go to the next?05:17
LaserJocknah, I just wondered what people thought of the idea05:17
LaserJockI think we all pretty much agree05:17
ajmitchnext item is fairly simple, I think05:17
LaserJockpersia_: moving on?05:17
persia_OK.  Next item: LaserJock re: Require 7 day aging period in -proposed for SRUs?05:17
LaserJockok05:18
* persia_ doesn't always type sufficiently quickly05:18
LaserJockso our current SRU wiki page only says that verification requires 2 + votes and no - votes05:18
ajmitchIf, as I've been told, archive admins require this anyway, then there's no reason not to sync MOTU SRU policy with what's expected by archive admins05:18
LaserJockhowever, the ArchiveAdmin page says that there is a 7-day aging period05:18
* ajmitch lets LaserJock 'talk' :)05:19
LaserJockas a MOTU SRU member I think we should resolve the two for sure05:19
LaserJockand don't mind  7-day aging05:19
ajmitchok, I agree, objections to the plan? :)05:19
LaserJock*however* I do see where we need to be able to have exceptions to that05:20
TheMusoIMO we sync with what main has.05:20
TheMusoLess confusing.05:20
LaserJockTheMuso: well, Main doesn't have it either05:20
TheMusoLaserJock: So you're saying we should have a 7 day aging period?05:20
LaserJockthis is w.u.c/StableReleaseUpdates vs w.u.c/ArchiveAdministration05:20
LaserJockSRU has no 7 day aging, ArchiveAdmin does have it05:21
TheMusoRight.05:21
persia_From my reading of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Meetings/2007-11-23, ~motu-sru may adjust the plan as required, at their will, so long as MOTU is notified of the changes.05:21
LaserJockand pitti says 7-days is his current SOP05:21
RoAkSoAx(sorry if its kinda late)  I would like to make a suggestion. If you create a team, so called a fan club, you should give that team special tasks so that they will feel more involved than just being part of a ML or being active on a #u-motu. That way, those team members will have some specifical things to work on and not just going around searching for things to do... For example, all those team members would work in certain type of bugs, maybe05:22
RoAkSoAx only work on merges or things like that.05:22
LaserJockso05:24
LaserJockeverybody think going with the 7-day aging is cool?05:24
TheMusoYep.05:24
RAOFYes, if that's archive admin or main sru policy.05:25
persia_Just to ensure consensus, I'd like there to be an ACK from one of jdong, imbrandon, or dktrkranz, although not necessarily in this meeting.05:25
persia_(unless you decide it's just an oversight by the last person to edit the page)05:26
LaserJocksure, I can email them05:26
persia_OK.  Anyone disagree with a 7-day aging period, or shall we move on?05:26
LaserJockwell, I think perhaps the ArchiveAdmin page was just never updated05:26
TheMusoMove on IMO.05:27
LaserJockbut I think it's reasonable and if that's the way they've been operating anyway05:27
LaserJockmight as well get it written down for everybody05:27
persia_Next up: LaserJock with General thoughts on microrelease exceptions to "minimal diff" requirement for SRUs05:27
LaserJockok, so the TB approved a process for having exceptions to the "minimal changes to fix the bug" rule for SRUs05:28
persia_Is there a link to the exception process?05:28
LaserJockhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/MicroReleaseExceptions05:29
LaserJockbasically, the TB approves packages that do stable branch microreleases05:29
LaserJockright now there is only firefox, thunderbird, and postgresql05:30
LaserJockI emaild the TB about the possibility of MOTU SRU doing the approval for Universe packages05:30
ajmitchwhich packages in universe do you think this may apply to?05:31
LaserJockwell, often times gnome-related packages have a stable branching scheme05:31
LaserJockone I know personally is gchemutils05:31
LaserJockbut perhaps glom, as we've been discussing with Murray Cummings about what to do there05:32
RAOFAnd a test suite?  Do we want to maintain that criterion?05:32
ajmitchso this suggestions is mainlly that the motu-sru team should petition the TB to be allowed to decide?05:32
LaserJockajmitch: well, the TB told me to liase with slangasek on the issue, which I'm working on05:32
LaserJockbasically, given good enough testing it shouldn't be a big deal to do new uptream microreleases05:33
ajmitchok, so what are you asking from us?05:33
LaserJockwell, basically is this something you guys would like to see?05:34
ajmitchsure, if the packages involved are sane05:34
LaserJockI'm looking at things that might streamline the SRU process05:34
RAOFI don't touch many packages with a test suite, let alone one that's run during package build.  Are there many such packages in universe?05:35
* ajmitch is not involved in the SRU process, so doesn't have much of opinion worth considering05:35
persia_(speaking only as myself): In addition to approved microrelease exceptions per-package, it may be interesting to look at selected microreleases by non-exempt packages where only a subset of the closed bugs would otherwise be considered suitable for SRU.05:35
LaserJockRAOF: I'm guessing a test suite would not be required.05:35
RAOFRight.  That'd be worth mentioning :)05:35
LaserJockRAOF: well, I haven't specifically thought of that05:36
LaserJockbut the number of packages with test suites is pretty small05:36
LaserJockand Universe, in general, just isn't so strict05:36
RAOFYeah.05:37
TheMusoYeah I'd like this.05:37
LaserJockpersia_: right05:37
TheMuso5~/c05:37
LaserJockone thing I'm seeing in SRU is that we fix one bug at a time05:37
LaserJockif an upstream does a bug-fix-only release that fixes 5 bugs, one of them being an SRU bug, I think we're making things better05:38
TheMusoI agree.05:38
RAOFAbsolutely.05:38
LaserJockI'm also looking at upstream testing05:38
LaserJockupstreams often are going to have more testing than we're going to be able to do in -proposed05:39
LaserJockso I sometimes worry about the potential for us to cause a regression/bug in cherry picking05:39
ajmitchtrying to cut down on the number of "you all suck" blog posts after a release?05:39
LaserJockyes, that too :-)05:39
LaserJockwe want to balance keeping user's systems stable with the need to get usptream fixes to users05:40
LaserJockin an ideal world they'd be the same thing05:41
LaserJockin any case05:41
LaserJockI just wanted to hear people's feelings on "opening" up a little more to upstream bug-fix-only releases05:41
LaserJockwell, that and I thought we should have an agenda for tonight ;-)05:42
* ajmitch is happy enough with the idea05:43
* ajmitch is also not involved in approving such packages :)05:43
LaserJockon a somewhat side note, I think MOTU SRU is really kicking butt right now05:44
TheMusoAgreed.05:44
persia_Anyone else want to express an opinion about opening this right now?05:44
RAOFNope.  I'm broadly in agreement.05:45
persia_OK.  LaserJock: Please continue keeping us all informed about SRU stuff.05:45
persia_Does anyone have any other business they would like discussed at today's MOTU Meeting?05:45
LaserJockyeah, I just don't want to ramrod things through without getting people's thoughts05:45
* ajmitch can't wait to join the laserjock-fan-club team on LP05:45
LaserJockpfft05:46
LaserJockpersia_: I think I'm good05:47
persia_Actually, I've one.  The next meeting is scheduled for 23rd May, 12:00 UTC, which is during UDS.  Anyone else think the 30th might be a better date?05:48
TheMusoYes.05:48
TheMusoThings will be in full swing at that time.05:48
TheMusoi.e during uds.05:48
persia_Anyone really want to have the meeting on the 23rd?  (you have seconds to speak, or you wait a week for the meeting)05:49
persia_(err.. 120 seconds)05:49
LaserJockyeah, I think moving it to the 30th is reasonable05:49
LaserJockI don't know how many people are going to UDS but it I don't think we exactly have any pressing issues05:49
RAOFThe 30th seems reasonable.05:50
TheMusoThere will be a lot of MOTU folk there.05:50
LaserJockgreat05:50
LaserJockso that's a good reason to postpone05:50
persia_OK.  Next meeting will be 12:00 UTC on the 30th then.05:51
persia_Meeting adjourned.05:51
TheMusoThanks fols.05:51
TheMusofolks05:51
LaserJockawesome05:52
LaserJockthanks everybody05:52

pochu@now17:29
ubottupochu: Current time in Etc/UTC: May 09 2008, 16:30:29 - Current meeting: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Team17:29
* asac jumps in17:29
slangasekmorning, folks17:29
* ogasawara waves17:30
* mvo waves17:30
* zul waves17:30
* bdmurray waves17:30
pittihttp://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html is rocking hard17:30
bdmurraypitti: does tagging bugs as hw-specific still get reflected there?17:31
pittidon't know about you guys, but for me it helped tremendously to actually *use* hardy while doing fixes for it :)17:31
asacpitti: those are the ones we should verify, right?17:31
pittibdmurray: yes17:31
pittibdmurray: (hw)17:31
pittiasac: right, the non-green ones17:31
pittiI spend about 2 hours on SRU processing every day, so people are very active :)17:32
slangasek:)17:32
asacbookmarked17:32
* seb128 hugs pitti for the good work17:32
* pedro_ waves17:32
seb128hello pedro_17:32
pedro_hey seb12817:33
slangasekok, let's go ahead and get started, I'll direct evand to the logs afterwards17:33
bdmurraySo if I am running the proposed kernel and have no issues with it how do I document that?17:33
pittiI just have two points, but let's hand the mike to slangasek17:33
slangasek(though perhaps we're already started :)17:33
slangaseklikewise, I just have a couple of things17:33
pittibdmurray: for cases like that I usually say exactly that in the bug17:33
bdmurraypitti: but there are 9 bugs for the kernel...17:33
slangasekfirst, please keep in mind that any bug that's going to be fixed in an SRU needs to be tracked in both hardy and intrepid, which means nominating the bug for release17:33
pitti^ also my point17:34
pittiplease create *both* hardy and intrepid tasks17:34
slangasekWe currently have a large number of bugs that are milestoned but have not yet been targeted for the release!17:34
pittiso that we won't forget to fix stuff in intrepid which we SRUed17:34
slangasek(You can see the difference in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+bugs?field.milestone%3Alist=1264, and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.milestone%3Alist=1264)17:34
pitti(many bugs don't even have hardy tasks)17:34
asacslangasek: so the right search to get a list of bugs that need are properly targetted would be to search in "hardy" + 8.04.1 tag?17:34
evandSorry about that.17:35
slangasekasac: correct; the first of those links I provided is the list of bugs that are tracked as "release-critical" for .1.17:35
asaci was a bit confused what search i should exactly use to get the right ones :/17:35
slangasekevand: hi; will send logs in /msg17:36
evandthanks slangasek17:36
slangasekof course, in practice since there are so *many* more bugs that are targeted for .1 without being targeted to the release, I can't ignore the other set either - but if any of those bugs are *yours*, please make sure you talk to me about getting them targeted to release. :)17:37
asacslangasek: so whould someone go through the second link and nominate those that look properly milestoned?17:37
slangasekasac: yes, that's an ongoing task of mine, but I would like us to get to the point where I don't have to poll the page :)17:37
pittiasac: you can do that 'on the go' when you start working on a bug17:37
asacpitti: right. question is if we should work on all bugs of the second link17:38
asacmaybe slangasek wants to filter them first17:38
pittislangasek: +milestone/8.04.1 should be good enough for an overview, no?17:38
pittihttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-8.04.1 that is17:38
pittithat's my preferred page17:38
pittisince it shows assignments and doesn't care (so much) about tasks17:39
slangasekasac: for the moment, I'm just asking that people make sure that any bugs that their team has identified as targets for 8.04.1 get targeted to the release17:39
slangasekasac: I'll take care of filtering the rest and confirming/denying release nominations17:39
pittifor the record, yesterday the desktop team went through the list and assigned desktopish stuff to people17:40
pittiit would be good if the other teams could do the same17:40
asacslangasek: ok, so we should only work on nominated ones and the teams should get around and fix that list as good as possible17:40
pittiIMHO it is very important to have assignees17:40
asacwill do that for mozilla stuff now17:40
pittiunassigned milestoned bugs -> will be forgotten about17:40
slangasekpitti: right, unfortunately I don't find a way to filter that list to bugs that are properly nominated :)17:40
pittiasac: you should be able to create the actual tasks, not just nominations17:40
asacpitti: yes. word confusion here17:40
slangasekpitti: so I need to catch up on that first17:41
pittislangasek: you mean sth. like https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+nominations?field.subscriber=ubuntu-sru ?17:41
pittiwell, probably not with subscriber, but rather with a milestone17:41
slangasekpitti: roughly, yes17:42
slangasekbut then, that's the page I already linked to :)17:42
slangasekok, the next thing from me is to check in and make sure that everyone's workloads are appropriate, or whether we need to try to redistribute17:42
pittihttps://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+nominations?field.milestone%3Alist=126417:42
pittislangasek: ^ I think that's pretty good17:43
slangasekyes.  It's not the same view, though, it lacks the assignee info you were keen on :)17:44
pittislangasek: right, but ideally this list would be empty, so we can just go through and accept/deny17:45
* slangasek nods17:45
slangasekso, no comments from anyone on workload?17:45
zulno Im good17:45
* pitti is fine, he'll grab some more bugs (and generate some with the /etc upgrade diff)17:45
seb128help on desktop bugs is welcome17:45
seb128I'll never manage to tackle everything singled handed17:45
kirklandanyone with particular expertise on openssl?  I could use a second set of eyes on a memory leak....17:46
kirklandi see pitti's name in the changelog :-)17:46
pitti*cough*17:46
pittikirkland: happy to review17:46
asacslangasek: i am still utilized with catching up on my own SRU stuff. i expect to have cycles for others by mid of next week, so could start to assign some low-hanging fruits to me.17:46
kirklandthat's what i thought :-)17:46
slangasekseb128: is there a good list somewhere of the desktop bugs in question?17:46
kirklandpitti: i'll ping you later17:46
asacown == mozilla related17:46
pittikirkland: (although I'm not an openssl guru at all, but I can give it a general review)17:46
evandI can probably handle taking on a few more bugs in the near future, but I'd like to make sure I get through the major installer issues first.17:46
slangasekasac: great, thanks17:46
seb128slangasek: bugs in those lists assigned to ubuntu-desktop17:46
zulthe server team keeps track of server related bugs on the wiki for what its worth works for us17:47
asacbut remember that i am 50% ;)17:47
evandBy all means, assign things to me as well17:47
slangasekevand: oh, btw, I did a one-off hardy livecd build yesterday; if it checks out I can go ahead and cron something17:47
evandhooray17:47
evandthat will make my life much easier, thanks17:47
pittioh, yeah, that's one of my current TODOs, cron hardy-proposed dailies17:47
pittiwe need them to SRU-verify installer things17:47
slangasekkirkland: I also have some familiarity with OpenSSL <whimper>, so if I'm easier to grab than pitti on account of timezones or whatnot, feel free17:48
kirklandslangasek: thx.17:48
pittiencryptz: maybe just grab some from the unassigned list you feel comfortable with?17:49
slangasekseb128: hmm, currently I find zero bugs in those lists assigned to ubuntu-desktop, maybe I'm doing something wrong17:49
pittierm, evand, I meant17:50
asacmaybe we can setup a wiki page with a list links to tasks?17:50
pittihttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-8.04.1 has plenty17:50
pittislangasek: ^17:50
slangasekthen I guess my query is broken somewhere :)17:50
pittiargh, please no wiki page for tracking bugs17:50
slangasekoh, these are assigned to desktop-bugs, not ubuntu-desktop :)17:50
evandpitti: ok, I'll give a look through it17:50
seb128slangasek: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/~desktop-bugs/?field.searchtext=&orderby=-importance&assignee_option=any&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.bug_supervisor=&field.bug_commenter=&field.subscriber=&field.milestone%3Alist=1264&field.status_upstream-empty-marker=1&field.omit_dupes.used=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch.used=&field.has_cve.used=&field.tag=&field.tags_combinator=ANY&search=Search17:50

evandhaha ok17:51

pittiseb128: I'll grab bug 21037917:51
slangasekok, ^^ there's the list of bugs that seb128 is asking for help with on desktop17:51
asacpitti: well ... there are lots of links floating around :) i don't want the bugs on wiki page ... just the links we paste here ;)17:51
ubottuLaunchpad bug 210379 in glib2.0 "should not list mounts that the user doesn't have permission to use" [Low,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/21037917:51
pittithat's my competency17:51
pittiasac: ah, yes, that would be good17:51
seb128pitti: that one should already be fixed17:51
pittiseb128: no, see my latest bug comment (upstream and LP)17:52
seb128pitti: though the fix doesn't work for you? I'm just reading my mails about that17:52
seb128ok, thanks17:52
pittiassigned to me17:52
pitti(it takes some communication with hal probably)17:52
seb128pitti: right, I suggested that on the bug before too (checking for local mounts)17:53
pittiseb128: I saw17:53
slangasekzul: I didn't get a chance to chase up all of those bugs before the meeting, but yes, we ought to have all of the relevant bug state in LP itself instead of stored externally in a wiki; pitti and bdmurray are both very good at generating static web pages from LP queries, so I'm sure one of them could show you guys how to get the reporting view you want without trying to keep a separate authoritative source for the data17:53
zulslangasek: sure but Rick asked me to do that so he could track them better17:54
pittizul: e. g. http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html is dynamically generated for tracking bugs, and IMHO it's very useful (and updated hourly)17:54
slangasekzul: noted, I'll talk to Rick then :)17:54
zulbut I will ask pitti and bdmurray as well17:54
pittizul: I'm happy to add more stuff to it if you need something17:55
zulpitti: thanks17:55
pittizul: or categorize it differently, etc17:55
slangasekit's reasonable to want a page that lets the team get an easy overview, but this page needs to be built from LP data17:55
slangasek5 minutes on the clock, any other business?17:56
pittio/17:56
zulnope17:56
pittiI would appreciate if you guys could follow some rules which would really help me with the SRU bug management:17:56
slangasekpitti: go ahead :)17:56
pitti * make sure that the bug has proper and correct tasks17:56
pitti * try to avoid stacking uploads into -proposed without getting the older ones into -updates first17:56
pitti * if you do upload a new version into -proposed, use -v<latest version in -updates/final>17:56
pitti(otherwise they become a nightmare to track)17:57
pitti * after you uploaded to -proposed, don't forget about it; encourage and chase people to get it tested!17:57
* mvo coughs for being guitly of point (2)17:57
pittiwith the current number of SRUs, I can't possibly chase all bugs to get verified17:57
pittiI'm a bottleneck for SRU processing, so I'd like to spend less time with fixing tasks, asking people whether stuff is fixed in intrepid, asking for test cases, etc.17:58
slangasekon that note, bdmurray had also asked me about folks not providing test cases for their SRU uploads17:58
pittiI do see that this is hard for things like the current kernel upload17:58
pittiI guess for those we can just all use the new kernel for two weeks and then take the plunge17:59
slangasekthis is documented on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates as one of the responsibilities of the SRUer - please provide a clear test case in the bug description wherever possible, so that our SRU verification team can get a handle on these bugs with a minimum of effort17:59
pittialso, it's perfectly reasonable to ask bug reporters for testing stuff17:59
pittieven more so for hardware specific issues17:59
seb128anybody has an issue with the evolution switch to gnome-keyring btw?18:00
* pitti doesn't use a keyring in evo, didn't test18:00
pittibut I can set it up if required18:00
slangasekpitti: this is in reference to email passwords, AFAIK?18:00
seb128I don't feel strongly about it, I think it's better to have the keyring used for the lts but we can do without it too18:00
slangasekI don't use evo for email, is the thing-18:00
zulpitti: what about test cases that require special hardware?18:00
pittiwell, I only have a local Maildir,18:00
pittizul: as I said, I think for those the bug reporters should test it18:01
seb128pitti: no ldap directory configured in evo either?18:01
zulpitti: gotcha18:01
pittiseb128: not ATM18:01
pittiseb128: I did have LDAP for taks and contacts at one point, but that was only for testing18:01
bdmurrayzul: It'd be helpful if those were tagged as hw-specific too18:01
seb128ok18:01
pitti(about three years ago perhaps)18:01
zulbdmurray: sure18:02
pittiseb128: let's discuss that offline18:02
slangasekand we're at time - any last-minute comments before everyone runs away? :)18:02
seb128pitti: ok18:02
